Realm of Power

On the sea in the dark night, the bow of the Imperial Dragon Tooth battleship was crushing the waves that were coming up. The pen in the hand of Commander Si Effenger, Commander of the Imperial Navy's Ninth District Fleet, fell on the last cruising point, Haitang Bay, this incredible city. The conspicuous coastal city is neither a commercial port nor a military port. The reason why it is designated as the last cruise point is that this was once the home of the Liafa pirates. Under the strong suppression of the Imperial Navy, the Liafa pirates fell apart. However, this does not mean that the Liafa people have completely ceased their activities. In order to facilitate management , the Imperial Navy divided the entire inland sea area into ten areas

Haitang Bay is located in the 9th District. Even if it is only responsible for one area, it will take a week to cruise back and forth. But for the Imperial Navy, this is a display of the Imperial Navy’s hegemony in the inland sea, especially since the Imperial Navy has recently been separated from the Imperial Navy. This is especially true for the more than 300 navy sailors who have graduated from the academy. All the fleet can see is the imperial sea. If the sea areas they pass are converted into land area, the ninth area they cruise in is enough to have an area of ​​​​Rila Kingdom. size "How is your health? Although it is important to take care of the newcomers, it is too unconvincing to make yourself sick!" Sieffenger put the chart in his hand on the table and raised his head with concern. Adjutant Ai Xinya walked into the cabin. The two had been partners for more than half a year. Before departure, Adjutant Ai Xinya came on the ship sick. "It's not a big deal, just a small cold."

Ai Xinya coughed dryly in his mouth. Long-distance voyages are quite a test of human health. Although a cold is not a serious illness, the weakness and weakness all over his body made his face look slightly pale. Since three days ago, he has been He was on the verge of a high fever and always felt dizzy. With the bumps of the Dragon Tooth Battleship, he felt like he was even about to lose consciousness sometimes. "You should have disembarked and sought medical treatment at Xiji Port. Being dragged on like this is very harmful to your health."

Sieffinger knew the stubbornness of his adjutant general, and a wry smile appeared on his lips. Just a year ago, this adjutant general was an army general fighting on the front lines. In the Istanbul Civil War that established the empire's hegemony, Cut into an army of the Southern Allied Forces with more than 10,000 men The rear line of the regiment, faced with several frenzied charges launched by the Southern Allied Forces in desperation, still resisted, and finally forced 200,000 Southern Allied forces into Anlusu City. Although the resistance was successful, their subordinates fought hard. Most of them died, and he was also seriously injured. In the end, one of his legs was completely injured. He was lame, and with the help of General Hu Keqili of the Central Army, he was transferred from the Central Army to the Navy Department, and then transferred to Sieffenger's Ninth District Fleet as the adjutant commander. This is a real warrior, In him, Sieffinger could still feel the feeling of death from the pile of dead people. The fierce murderous aura that rolled out, or the sea breeze in the first half of the year, will make this land warrior realize that sea and land are completely different things. Individual bravery is really of little use on the vast sea, and naval operations are all group operations. Combat requires more coordination and organization

"It's a small problem, but it turns out it's not like this. It may be that I injured my lungs when I was in Istanbul."

Aixinya grinned. He barely mentioned the bloody war in Istan. If it weren't for the files Sieffinger took over from the Navy Department, he wouldn't have mentioned the thin figure in front of him. The middle-aged man with a slightly pale face, and the final battle involving millions of troops from both sides, also It is linked to the Battle of Anlusu, which brought the empire's reputation for violence to its peak. If the 200,000 escaping Southern Allied Forces had not been blocked at that time, the empire mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and deployed them for two or three months. Countless soldiers' All the bloody battles will be in vain because of the 200,000 main force of the Confederate Allied Forces who fled south.

It can be seen that Ai Xinya felt very uncomfortable being transferred from the Central Army to the Navy, but as a soldier, he still worked hard to adapt to his current status. When he was in the Army, he always thought that working in the Navy was easy, and There is no need to fight in close combat. Even if it is a sea battle, the ultra-long distance and destructive power of the Imperial Thunder God will be used to gain the absolute upper hand. It is not like an army battle at all, facing countless towering spears and cold weapons. Those who are less courageous will pee their pants in fear before the actual battle begins. However, in the past six months, Ai Xinya's concept has long been thrown away. The navy often lasts for several days or more than ten days. Long-distance navigation, the vast sea is even more strange and dangerous. There may be a clear sky in front of you, but in the blink of an eye, huge waves like huge tornadoes will come crashing in. The dangers involved are no less than that of a large army in a land battle.

Because of Aixinya's cold, Schiffenger even ordered the cruise to return early.

"Sir, there is something unusual going on in the direction of Haitang Bay." A naval officer hurriedly ran over from the deck. His words made the faces of the two people in the cabin change.

"Abnormal situation?" Sieffinger couldn't help but frown. He stood up suddenly and walked towards the bow of the battleship. It was twenty miles away from Haitang Bay, but he could still see the red light in the direction of Haitang Bay. I couldn't help but say in my heart, "Oh no, that was the light of a fire. Except for Haitang Bay, there was no place in that direction that could ignite such a big fire."

"Lord Dustelenko specifically asked to pay attention to Haitang Bay, but now we are encountering such a situation. Should we intervene?'

There was a hesitant look on Sieffenger's face. Sieffenger, who had come from the brutal inland sea battle, was no stranger to such red light. He took the lookout glass from the officer behind him and looked towards Haitang Bay. His pupils I can't help but shrink into a point,

Haitang Bay is a key target of surveillance, and the Imperial Navy also has plans to absorb the Liafa people in Haitang Bay into the Imperial Navy. It is true that the Liafa people are pirates, but there are not a few admirals with pirate backgrounds in the Imperial Navy. Regarding the familiarity of various sea areas in the inland sea, the Liafa people ranked second. No one dared to say that the first place was the Strand people, the former overlords of the inland sea. They were blank in many strange and mysterious sea areas, but the Liafa pirates were able to do so in the past. You can come and go freely inside,

Sieffenger thought about it for more than ten seconds, and gave a decisive order with a livid face: "Send the fleet to enter combat status, slow down to three knots, and follow in a straight line."

At this moment, I can no longer care about so much. The original release of Grand Duke Liafa also had such considerations. If the Liafa people are unwilling to follow the footsteps of the Imperial Navy, then it will be their fate to be completely eradicated by the Imperial Navy. But now someone If you want to get there first, how can you do this? Even if you don't get it, you can't let Haitang Bay fall into the hands of other forces." The flagship ordered, enter combat mode, slow down to three knots, target the direction of Haitang Bay."

Fleet Commander Krickland's order quickly spread throughout the fleet. The sails of the imperial warships were lowered one after another. Taking advantage of the slowdown, the ships began to form a sloping line between them. The Liafa pirates had already Now that the smoke has disappeared, who will attack the Leaffans? Like a pack of wolves sneaking into Haitang Bay in the dark night, "An unknown fleet was spotted on the sea ahead blocking Haitang Bay." A cold voice came from the lookout post above. "Six large battleships. Eleven medium-sized battleships, the other side." No naval flag was flown”

Ai Xinya, the adjutant general, raised the observation glass curiously, his pale face showing a touch of excitement. He was a warrior who never enjoyed fighting when he was in the army. Now he has been transferred to the navy. He has been traveling back and forth with the navy fleet for half a year. , not even a so-called naval battle was encountered, because in the inland sea area, it is difficult for the Imperial Navy to have an opponent. When Ai Xinya thought that he might have come to the navy to retire, he encountered such a thing. Faintly, Ai Xinya's soldier's intuition felt something. There was a faint smell of blood in the sea breeze. For him like this For the warriors on the battlefield, even from a long distance, they can still feel the screams of the killers. "Someone is attacking Haitang Bay, and the fighting is fierce!" Ai Xinya closed his eyes and made this judgment based on his own intuition. "It's the Eero people!" Sieffenger's face was solemn. From the round lens of the observation mirror, he saw the outline of the group of warships distributed on the sea of ​​Haitang Bay. The unique crescent-like hull of the Eero naval warships appeared in the sight. Under the burning firelight of Haitang Bay, it can still be seen even if the naval flag is not flying. "No way, the Eero people are already in a state of distress under the attack of the Order State, but they still have the intention to use large-scale troops against Haitang Bay?" Aixinya looked surprised. "There must be a problem here. If the Eero Empire wanted to annex the Principality of Liafa, it would have taken action long ago. Why did it suddenly launch an attack on Haitang City at this time when it is least possible?" Sieffenger put down the observation glass in his hand. , walked a few steps back and forth on the deck of the ship, suddenly turned around and said to the naval officer behind him, "Give the order, the entire fleet will stop advancing immediately, and order the Haliya to leave the fleet and approach Haitang Bay alone."

"What are you going to do?" Deputy Ai Xinya's face was blank. "The ones who attacked Haitang Bay should be the Eero people, but the Eero navy did not even fly the naval flag. It is enough to show that the Eero people don't want people to know. In fact, if we hadn't just passed by tonight, I'm afraid it was Haitang. The bay was completely wiped out by the Eros, nor There will be someone who knows that if the Ero people are only targeting Haitang Bay, then the Haliya will at most be warned when it approaches Haitang Bay. But if the Ero people are not targeting Haitang Bay, but have other intentions, then they will It will definitely prevent the Hariya from approaching! Sieffenger raised his finger and pointed in the burning direction of Haitang Bay, with a sneer on his lips.

Sure enough, as the Haliya approached Haitang Bay, the Eero fleet, which was blocking Haitang Bay, also immediately discovered the rapidly approaching Imperial Navy warship. The Imperial Navy flag caused complete chaos in the Eero Navy outside the port. No one expected that the Imperial Navy The military meeting came out at this time, not to mention that the Hariya, as the Imperial Dragon's Tooth Battleship No. 16, had experienced many large-scale naval battles and had been repaired as many as four times. It sailed into Haitang calmly. The sea outside the bay is like a lone wolf strutting into the sight of the Eero Navy.

'"Attention, a warship is rapidly approaching from the northeast." A loud whistle sounded, and the deck of the Eero Navy suddenly became a mess.

"Isn't it said that the Imperial Cruise Fleet will return in two days at the earliest? So what's going on with the Dragon Tooth Battleship that appears next to us now?" The middle-aged man on the deck also had a pale face and a pair of shining eyes. , Red wanted to kill people, and when Haitang Bay was about to be captured, the Imperial Navy fleet that was supposed to pass by two days later suddenly appeared in Haitang Bay, catching people off guard. What should I do now! Everyone's eyes were turned to the middle-aged man standing at the front of the ship deck. The Imperial Navy's Dragon Tooth battleship was rapidly approaching. Once the Imperial Navy really saw the situation in Haitang City, all the previous efforts would be in vain! "Give me my order. If you can't stop it, don't stop it. Just sink it for me!" The middle-aged man took a deep breath and raised his hand suddenly towards the Imperial Dragon Fang coming towards this side from a distance. Battleship, since the Imperial Navy itself ran into it, it can’t be blamed on others. Under the order of the middle-aged man, the six heavy battleships of the Eero Navy began to turn around. "The Eero Navy has turned!"

In the distance, Sieffinger, who was looking over from the lookout, clenched his fingers on the lookout glass. The Eero people actually launched an offensive formation. This means that the Eero people were trying to cover up what happened in Haitang Bay. , even at the expense of killing the Imperial Navy. What secrets did the Ero people have buried in Haitang Bay?

In the distance, the hurling stones erupted from the Eero naval battleship intensively crossed the sky, creating a beautiful arc of death, and landed on the side of the Dragon Tooth battleship, rolling up white water columns several meters high. The dragon tooth battleship is slightly smaller in size, and is swayed left and right by the water waves that spread in all directions. The "attack" came from the counterattack on the Haliya, and 1 also broke out at this moment. A rumbling salvo fired from the side shield of the Haliya, tearing up the sea surface in an instant, and the fire burst out, shining in everyone's eyes. , flanking an Aero heavy The battleship was hit frontally by a salvo. Suddenly, broken wood flew across the sides of the deck, and the fire penetrated deeply into the hull. Explosions exploded inside the hull, and even spread to the deck, sending the second half of the deck into the sky. The middle-aged man looked at a heavy ship The battleship was paralyzed in this way, and its eyes were red. It ordered all other warships to participate in the siege of the Liyasu Dragon Tooth Battleship, but they did not notice that in the darkness not far away, one after another Dragon Tooth Battleship began to move towards Drive this way, the total is over 38 The thunder god salvos from Gate 0 slammed into the Elero fleet from the side like rolling thunder. The old Elero warships made shrill and piercing crackling sounds under the crossfire that was as dense as a grid plate. , the shining fire light keeps flashing
