call--!

The sea breeze roared by, and the gray sky was filled with clouds.

Even though the Eritrean Sea has entered the early summer rainy season and is not a good place for sailing, it cannot stop the desperate battle between the two powerful fleets west of the Andaman Strait.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

It was as if the rain was coming before the unknown drought and thunder, and the dark sea surface was reflected red by the fired artillery fire.

One side in the fierce naval battle flew a long blue flag.

Among the Tulip Alliance, which is mainly composed of the three countries of Phaletis, Taylor, and Garriott, there are 112 main battleships above the fourth level, divided into five squadrons and flexibly maneuvered under the command of the [Psychic Network].

Moreover, they were light and simple. Even in the ultra-long-distance operations across the Black Sea, the Treasure Sea, and the Eritrean Sea, they did not even bring a decent supply ship, let alone any burden.

On the other side is a long flaming flag that looks like a blazing fire.

For Hillius, the continuous shrinking of territory in recent years is obviously not without benefits. Now more troops can be concentrated on the limited territory, and the defense strength has increased sharply.

The first fleet with complete combat power has 92 battleships of level three or above, and more than 400 auxiliary battleships of level five or above that can sail across the ocean. The number of battleships can completely overlook its opponents.

It is not that the senior officials of Cyrus and Philip II were so ambitious that when launching a national war with the "Low Countries", they sent such a powerful force that could crush a country overseas instead of defending the kingdom.

Just because the royal capital's defense force is already abundant, any more would be a waste.

In this secular war, the gods themselves and the high-ranking clergy of the church on both sides have agreed not to intervene.

But Wycliffe, the fourth-level peak clergyman of the "Sinfire Sect" who is worthy of the name, is stationed at the Leon Cathedral in Santa Cruz.

The cathedral is also home to the vast majority of high-ranking clergymen from the "Fire Sect". It's one thing not to take the initiative to hit others. If attacked, they will definitely hit them back with a hammer.

Even if the church headquarters is in danger of extinction, it may activate the Pope's exclusive skill [Holy Descendance] to let the intruders taste the protective iron fist from his own father.

The only regret is that the thoughts of both the secular empire and the "Eternal Fire" are still limited to human beings' secular struggles, and they have not realized that a large number of ancient gods have been gathered overtly and covertly, and the "Black Winged God" of the evil god has long been there.

Playing a big game far beyond the worldly battlefield.

Moreover, the link between the "Low Countries" and the bourgeoisie is related to the final success or failure of the grand chess game, and there must be no room for error!

The two sides have different strategic intentions, and of course the resources they are willing to invest and even the price they pay are also different.

Ever since the "Angel of Prosperity" appeared and scared off the "Angel of Lava", both the "Lowland Republic" and the "Cilius Empire" have become pawns.

The outcome is not decided by them at all, but the Silius people do not have this awareness at this time.

Since the initial attack by the breakup fleet, Tulip, the biggest challenger to the "Sea Kingship", has always been the imaginary enemy of the Silius people.

Ordinary people can learn a lesson, let alone smart people like the Imperial Navy who bring together the elites of a country?

After experiencing two painful baptisms in succession, the "Battle of Benin" and the "Battle of Fort Dearborn".

The senior leaders of the Imperial Navy learned from this painful experience and began to focus on improving the range of artillery and training in line tactics suitable for them.

Later, a replacement was found for the command system that was far behind the [Psychic Network] - the blue eagle feather from the "Hurricane Nest" that was cast with the "Wind Spell".

The Armada has been completely transformed, not to mention...

"Order, double column, crush it! The empire's invincible name will be defended by us!"

Fleet Commander Prince Roderick Hillius waved his order and issued his order. This Grand Knight was the last brother of the same generation as Philip II and the first captain of the King of the Sea.

With the [Legendary Battleship Sea King Power] as the flagship and the [Legendary Battleship Plantagenet] as the auxiliary, 92 third-level battleships and above formed two rows of "Great Wall of the Sea" that echoed each other majestically on the sea.

The strangest thing is that at this time, every battleship is actually emitting a faint blue supernatural light, including the two legendary battleships, as if they have become a whole with a mysterious connection.

Among the coalition forces, he is the combatant with the highest secular status and extraordinary level.

With his status as a Grand Duke and his unparalleled reputation and achievements, Ivan took over the command of the fleet as expected and raised the commander's flag on the "Crown of Miracles".

At the same time, an order was issued in the [Psychic Network]:

"Our enemy is obviously also making progress, but our progress is even greater. The squadron's T-shaped tactics. Let me break in from the rear and give him a break!"

The shouts of captains immediately came from each battleship.

"Full rudder left!"

"Adjust three compass points to the right!"

"Command, Captain..."

Usually when we talk about battle line tactics, ordinary people think that we have to line up with others and fight stupidly. In fact, the tactics in practice are very flexible and do not stick to certain stereotypes.

The so-called "T" type tactic is nothing new. Ivan used it many times in single-ship combat when he was young, but it was just replaced with the fleet version.

The principle is to let one's own battle line act as a T-shaped horizontal line, passing through the opponent's line, and firing in sequence, so that the continuous firepower of each battleship can be exerted.

The hot shells enter the enemy's hull from the stern part of the ship, allowing the shells to bounce continuously in the gun deck that penetrates the enemy's hull, causing a large number of casualties to enemy personnel.

However, implementing this tactic requires extremely high communication capabilities and command skills, and it can be self-defeating if you are not careful.

These are precisely Aiwen's strengths.

The ability of [Weather Elf] allows him to grasp every detail on the battlefield. Coupled with the assistance of "data-based vision", it can be said that every tiny sea current and air flow is within his perception.

You can even use [Pseudo Authority: Throne Stealer] to add buffs such as "Nature's Favor" and "Smooth Wind and Flowing" to the fleet.

And his orders can be conveyed to the ears of every lieutenant in the fleet in a timely manner, allowing them to maintain formation on both sides of the ship while moving quickly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

The entire fleet was seen quickly gathering towards the rear of Silius's double column.

Levina, Magnus III and the kings of the alliance are all watching the battle from a distance. They are no more than the third level. They are not qualified to protect themselves in this chaotic "battle of national destiny". They may also become one of their own due to identity issues.

Soldier's drag.

Just don't bother me.

But even though a group of people were sitting in the safe rear, they all really envied Aiwen who could charge forward, both because of his honor and his strength.

And it is conceivable that if this battle is successful and the "goddess of royal power and navigation" can be worthy of the name, then the divine grace that will come will definitely be enough to increase the strength of the great hero without any side effects!

But at this time, Alvin didn't have the free time to think like they did.

In addition to the "Emerald Corona" staying in the New World, the "Wings of Gods and Demons" in the Kingdom of Tyro stayed in Tulip.

Even though the [Steam Fortress] and the [Sea Spirit] are already guarding the side, and the [Theseus], ​​which has never appeared in front of anyone, is also getting ready in Jaros's witchcraft garden, Ivan is still wary of this enemy. Very profound.

"Mei, get on the main gun! Let's test it again!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain! Charge the main gun and fire!"

The [Electromagnetic Main Turret] located on the front deck rotates the barrel to switch between specially-made enchanted tungsten steel bullets.

Buzz——

The two longitudinal oblate gun barrels spit out flames one second apart.

Boom! Boom!

The shells flying at five times the speed of sound shook the air with a loud roar in the blink of an eye. An illusory shield appeared and blocked two electromagnetic artillery shells. What is even more paradoxical is that the target of the bombardment was obviously an ordinary ship. ’s third-tier ship.

Obviously, Ivan does not want to directly launch the Justice Judgment from a super long range and end the battle cleanly like he did in the "Battle of Dearborn".

But because the [Legendary Battleship Sea King Power] launched such an incredibly powerful skill, he had to give up this tempting idea.

"Hahaha, although our 'artificial artifact' was not completed as scheduled, the 'Sea King Power' as a medium is already powerful enough!"

Prince Rodrik smiled at Anduen, the great wizard of the "Cursed School" beside him.

[Legendary Battleship Technique·Emperor's Majesty] The more battleships that are incorporated into the same fleet using the power of the medium, the more powerful they will be, and the stronger the King of the Sea will be.

[Secondary Ability: Attendant of the King] A large-scale buff that can assign the attack power, defense power or damage received of all battleships to a certain member of the fleet.

During the first meeting, Ivan launched [Hurricane Missiles] to test, but they only sacrificed a fifth-level cruiser and absorbed all the attacks.

To attack an individual is to attack the whole. Before we can think of a way, we can only return to the regular battle mode, let battleships compete with battleships, and attack both individuals and the whole at the same time.

But following the probing attack of the "Crown of Miracles", the "Legendary Battleship Plantagenet" in the Cyrus fleet launched a counterattack at the same time.

The [Purse] stationed in the "Peacock Islands" where Cyrus made his fortune symbolizes the rise of the dynasty, and is also the second legendary battleship after the "Royal Alfonso".

"Activate [Legendary Battleship Skill·Law of the Former King]!"

This is a scalable ability.

The previous kings of the Cyrus royal family could write one of their own laws into it after completing their duties as kings, and there are five of them so far.

Alfonso XII (whose main achievements during his reign were the discovery of the Southern Continent and the beginning of the Age of Discovery), Alfonso XIII (who conquered the Peacock Islands), Carlos I (who discovered the New World), and Carlos II who were still alive at that time Shi (King of Shou Cheng), Philip I (King of the previous generation).

Bang——!

A golden wave of law light flew out and pounced on the three legendary battleships in front.
Chapter completed!
