In the eyes of Dukes, the commander of the Sixth Fleet, there were simply a moving light in front of him, especially the dozen ships in front, as if the entire hull was shining, brighter than the lights at the port at night.
"Sir, look at their driving direction, they are coming for us! Do you want to whisper the flag to order them to stop?" The soldier in charge of looking in a low voice.
"Not good!" Dukes suddenly woke up and felt a palpitation. In the battle between the Asian Empire and the Nooya city-state, all the merchant ships ran away, and those who could not escape were also staying at the port. How could there be a fleet at this moment? And it was still so large, so this was definitely not a merchant ship.
This fleet is in front of them on the left, and the Sixth Fleet's station is the most outward port on the southern coast of Fantasy Sea. There is no port further east. This shows that the fleet in front of us is definitely not the fleet of the Asian Empire. Besides, if it is his own fleet, he should know.
It is neither a merchant ship nor a fleet on his side. The only possibility is that the other party comes from the city-state of Nooya. It is likely that he will detour Fantasy Overseas and come here to intercept him.
"What is the intelligence department doing? Such a large fleet of other people was dispatched, but there was no news!" Dukes cursed in his heart, hurriedly climbed down from the observation deck, and ordered loudly: "Notify all ships, all soldiers advance to take care of them, and prepare for battle!"
Before he could finish his words, the thing that worried him the most was happening. Hundreds of huge beams of light suddenly shot out from the fleet in the distance, illuminating their fleets without any escape.
At this moment, the soldiers on the ship were stunned. They had never encountered such a situation before. People under the light could not even open their eyes, as dazzling as looking at the sun.
Immediately afterwards, a thud in the distance. Dukes's expression changed drastically. As the commander of the Sixth Fleet, he had dealt with cannons all year round. He knew it was the sound of cannons. The opponent had already attacked, and there were a large number of cannons.
"Hurry, please inform all ships quickly, add, add!" Dukes shouted with his neck pulling.
Before the soldiers and officers on the ship understood what was going on, the shells fell like raindrops. Suddenly, the water surface around the Sixth Fleet rolled, and water columns exploded in succession. Four warships were hit by shells. Three hit the side of the ship, and one was blown on the deck.
The wood chips flew and screamed in pain. The ship that was blown down on the deck suddenly fell down dozens of people. The huge impact air wave lifted several soldiers directly from the ship and fell into the sea.
The soldiers of the Sixth Fleet were of great quality. After the initial panic, they immediately stabilized their positions. Under the command of the captains of each ship, some entered the turret to prepare for counterattack, and some entered the cabin and were almost back to their posts. The people on the four bombed warships put down their boats and prepared to escape.
The flagship watchtower was constantly chanting flags, and all ships saw Dukes' instructions. The ships that were originally preparing to rescue people immediately gave up their actions and began to increase their power and traveled in full. At the same time, the cannons on the ship also sounded and counterattacked.
As for the four bombed ships, Dukes gave up cruelly. If he saved people, it would take a lot of time, and there would probably be more sunk ships like that.
In the desperate eyes of the soldiers on the four ships, more than one hundred warships of the Sixth Fleet were getting farther and farther away!
Not long after, the four ships that were hit sank, and hundreds of soldiers were all soaked in the sea. After a while, a large ship approached, fished everyone in the sea and locked up.
The Sixth Fleet was very fast, and the chimney was pulling long black smoke. Dukes stood at the stern, frowned, showing more anxiety than before.
He thought that he would be able to get rid of the other party easily, but what he didn't expect was that the huge column of light on the other party's ship was chasing his fleet. The light not only did not weaken, but instead became brighter and brighter.
Only then did he find out in horror that the other party also added, and the distance between them and their fleet was getting closer and closer.
"How is this possible?" Dukes's shock was conceivable. Propellers are unique to Asia and they have always maintained an advantage over Nuya City-State. But now this advantage is gone, and the other side's fleet is actually faster than themselves.
Dukes was not only anxious, but also panicked. The number of ships was nearly three times different, and the speed was not as fast as others, and he was shining without any trace. How could he fight?
The two sides fled and chased each other, and the two sides kept firing artillery during this period. The number gap was obvious. The pursuit fleet not only had obvious advantages in artillery fire, but also formed an arc shape in utilization, like an open pocket.
After escaping for two hours and losing twenty ships, Dukes finally gritted his teeth and issued an order. Half of the fleet turned the bow and fought with the other side, and the rest of the warships fled in scattered.
Dukes was very painful to make this decision, which was equivalent to the entire Sixth Fleet being crippled. Even if some of the warships were able to save and escape back, his title as commander of the Sixth Fleet would be dismissed by the emperor.
But he had to make this decision, otherwise the entire Sixth Fleet would be eaten in one bite.
Dukes' final desperate decision finally played a certain role. In order to maintain superior firepower, Jiang Xingchen's fleet temporarily gave up the pursuit of the escaped ship. Dukes saved his life
Dukes was only truly relieved after dawn the next day. Looking at the remaining warships, almost all of them were injured. The Sixth Fleet, which was originally strong and powerful, was completely crippled by others.
At this time, the captured officers and soldiers of the Asian Empire saw the true appearance of the Xingchen-led fleet. The eleven huge steel warships shocked them and felt a deep sense of fear in their hearts.
Just when Jiang Xingchen's fleet was at the right time and easily destroyed the Sixth Fleet. On another battlefield, the battle between the First Fleet and the Nooya City Fleet also entered a white-hot stage.
Nuya City takes advantage of the darkness and communication consumes the power of the first fleet while constantly avoiding it. The first fleet uses its utilization and keeps rushing forward.
Both sides suffered losses, but overall, the First Fleet suffered greater losses. After more than two hours of the war, the First Fleet had lost nearly fifty warships.
Fleet commander Hasen was covered in cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't know what the national savage meant. He had already suffered such a great loss. Do you still have to fight with the other party? This is completely using his own weaknesses to attack the other party's strengths!
"National Master, look! Are we?" Hasson asked Ola carefully, his eyes kept observing Ola's expression.
Before he finished speaking, Ora suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "It's almost done, the plan to lure and kill Tang Chuxue can begin!" (To be continued.)8
