The scene had become very chaotic. General Warren stood at the stern of his warship and beside the steering wheel, watching the first two warships begin to turn their rudders.
The warship approaching him immediately saw the semaphore order. Coupled with the huge pressure brought by the enemy ships, without much hesitation, they began to turn left rudder and prepared to escape from the battlefield.
The warships further away had no time to turn, because they had been overtaken by the Datang Group's warships and opened fire.
Several more battleships burned, and General Warren no longer needed a telescope to carefully appreciate the huge sea monster with a slender hull.
Such a powerful, invincible, ruthless monster battleship should belong to the Talon Kingdom. General Warren thought secretly in his heart.
Then, he saw many main guns on the warship about 1,000 meters away, aiming at his flagship.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a ball of flame erupting from the cannon muzzle of the slender battleship, and then the battleship under his feet began to tremble violently.
He saw a huge explosion flying off the bow of his warship, and the jib and mast in front of his warship were broken together and fell into the sea ahead.
The cannon on the side of the bow was lifted very high due to the explosion, and then crashed into the water together with the surrounding corpses and deck fragments, causing a splash.
General Warren was knocked to the ground by the huge shock, and finally struggled to stand up. He saw his adjutant with a piece of wooden deck stuck in his face, lying not far away from him and twitching.
.
Obviously, his adjutant was not completely dead yet, but in this tragic fighting state, no one would try to save him.
Warren struggled to get up. He didn't want the remaining soldiers to think that he had died in battle. He had to stand high at the stern of the ship so that all the crew could clearly see his figure.
"Steady! Steady!" Warren, holding a long sword, staggered on the battleship that had begun to tilt, loudly reminding the soldiers around him.
Then he saw that the warship that opened fire on him was rapidly overtaking his sailing warship, which had lost most of its speed.
The opponent didn't even bother to fire and attack again. He directly accelerated and passed his wounded flagship and rushed towards the Talon Kingdom's warship that was fleeing in the distance.
Warren wanted to shout back loudly. He wanted to stop the other party and let him fight to the death.
But he knew that this was already a luxury. His battleship had been severely damaged and he could not even continue fighting.
"General! The bow of the ship is sinking and we are taking in water!" An officer hurriedly climbed up the stairs and came to the stern of the ship, reporting loudly.
While he was speaking, his eyes happened to fall on the dead adjutant's body lying on the deck, so he swallowed involuntarily.
Just as he was reporting, the gunner of the Bunas-class battleship following the Wolf 1 cruiser, the gunner of the 75mm cannon on the side, saw through the scope the enemy flagship that had basically lost its ability to sail.
Without any hesitation, the gunner pulled the gun rope and fired a 75 mm caliber shell.
This shell accurately hit the flagship of the Talon Kingdom fleet, and the hit site happened to be where the black gunpowder was piled.
The explosion of the cannonball ignited the black powder, which then burned suddenly.
Normally, these gunpowders are stored in wooden barrels, but now many barrels have been opened in order to fire cannons.
Just like that, the gunpowder in these wooden barrels was ignited, instantly igniting some messy things around them.
The fire began to spread on the ship, and a new 75 mm caliber shell hit the side of the huge warship.
A more violent explosion blew away a large section of the ship's side, seawater poured in crazily, and the entire hull of the sailboat immediately began to vibrate violently and tilted suddenly toward the starboard side.
Warren held on to the railing on the side of the ship and watched with a pale face as his battleship capsized little by little. He was powerless to stop this from happening, and could only watch his flagship sink to the bottom of the sea.
"Sir! Give the order to abandon the ship!" An officer stepped over the body of a sailor, walked hard to Warren, and begged: "If you don't abandon the ship, it will be too late!"
"I want to sink with the ship! I am a sinner! I am a sinner of the Kingdom of Tarun!" Warren cried loudly, unwilling to accept the fact that this naval battle had been a disastrous defeat.
However, his collapse did not bring him mercy. Another 75mm-caliber artillery shell flew and hit right between Warren and the officer who came to admonish him.
Then, the flames that suddenly burst out engulfed Warren and the officer, and the flagship of the Talon Kingdom fleet that remained on the sea also completely disintegrated into a pile of broken wood with the explosion.
…
Bunas, Tang Mo, who was mobilizing supplies to send to all surrounding countries, took the message from Rewind Port from Leo's hands.
He lowered his head and read the content of the message carefully, frowned and looked at Leo who sent the message, and asked for confirmation: "The warship of the Kingdom of Talon... appeared in Rewind Port?"
Leo nodded and replied: "Yes, Master. The message sent by Bernard made it very clear. By this time, a naval battle should have broken out between the two sides."
This message was sent by Bernard before the war started. After the battle, Bernard did not send back any more news.
Tang Mo frowned, stared at the message, and expressed his own judgment in a depressed tone: "Things are more complicated than we thought."
"Yes, Master!" Leo agreed and said.
Then, he continued to comfort Tang Mo: "I'm not worried about Bernard's fleet. No one can defeat our warships in a naval battle."
Tang Mo put the message in his hand and said to Leo with some worry: "Yes, that's not what I'm worried about."
"What is that, my master?" Leo continued to ask.
Tang Mo did not show off, but directly expressed his judgment: "I am worried about Dorn. Their expansion speed was too fast before, which caused a series of social problems. These problems have not been solved yet and may be
People take advantage of it.”
"What do you mean..." Hearing Tang Mo mention Dorn, Leo suddenly realized something and muttered.
Tang Mo directly expressed his analysis: "The attack came from Talun. It is impossible for the opponent to mobilize such a large fleet to go north just because of some speculation about the Dragon Island battle. Therefore, this attack on Rewind Port must be for other reasons.
!”
The time didn't match up! Because he was very sure that the Long Island pioneering team, as well as the transport ship and Talon's escort warship, that is, all the troops led by Haosen, were annihilated or captured in the Battle of Long Island.
Therefore, no one would tip off the Tarun Kingdom to use such a huge fleet to take revenge at Rewind Port or simply to cause trouble.
Since he was not here for revenge, the other party's movements were worth scrutinizing. Tang Mo sneered, feeling that he had guessed the other party's thoughts.
Leo is also a smart man. He understood everything at once and suddenly realized: "I understand. Are you worried that the Kingdom of Talon is not coming for revenge for the Battle of Dragon Island, but for Dorne?"
Tang Mo nodded and agreed with Leo's statement: "That's probably the case. Cyric must also be involved. They are mixed together! Prepare to launch an operation against us in Dorne."
Leo was a little surprised. If the other party was prepared to this extent, then Dorne would be really in danger.
After all, the fleet of the Kingdom of Talon is heading north, and there is the Kingdom of Shiron between the Kingdom of Talon and the Kingdom of Dorne... It is estimated that this country is now preparing to attack the Kingdom of Dorne.
Thinking of this, Leo looked at Tang Mo and asked, "Master, if this is really the case, what should we do?"
Tang Mo didn't have a good idea. He could no longer mobilize more troops to deal with the threat from a completely new direction.
Therefore, he could only let the people in Dorne deal with the series of difficult problems that were about to break out.
Just listen to his instructions to Leo: "Let everyone in Dorne be more vigilant. If there is a problem, solve it immediately! I think they will be in trouble soon."
"Yes! Master, I understand!" Leo wrote down Tang Mo's order, lowered his head and did not leave the room immediately.
Sure enough, Tang Mo continued to speak, as if talking to himself: "There has been a problem in the Yangmu Kingdom recently. Their internal affairs are in a mess. Marquis Leibert is already in a state of distress, and unrest may break out at any time."
He talked from north to south about various problems that had arisen recently. It would be very difficult to take out any one thing individually, let alone all these things breaking out together.
Even if you say this is a coincidence, no one would believe it. It seems that the only one who can assemble such a huge force and is willing to target the Datang Group is the Cyric Consortium.
"The relationship between the Pinewood Kingdom and the Yangmu Kingdom has never been very good, so the turmoil in the Yangmu Kingdom makes them very uncomfortable. They are always worried about problems on their borders, so they are also deploying troops." Tang Mo said,
While looking at the elderly Leo: "The northeastern border of the Kingdom of Susus is under great pressure. Cyric has united with soldiers from several surrounding kingdoms to suppress the border. Susus is also in a state of internal and external troubles."
"The battle on the eastern border of the Wright Kingdom is still going on. With the outcome still undecided, we have no chance of breaking through." At this point, Tang Mo paused.
Leo felt that he should remind him that Bernard might have achieved a great victory in Rewind Port: "On the contrary, in the battle of Rewind Port that just broke out, we have gained an advantage. Can we take advantage of it?"
