Volume 3 Blood and Fire Chapter 225 Naval Battle (3)
In the following period, the battleships of the Kingdom of Hydra did not fire a second shot, because the magic cannon also needed to cool down and charge, and this process took some time.
Similarly, the three crescent moon battleships of the Royal Navy of Cyrel also consumed a lot of energy when faced with such a fierce attack from the magic cannon.
The holy mages on the ship were all secretly rejoicing: if the energy output of the Hydra people's magic cannon had been more intense, the Crescent Moon Shield alone would not be able to sustain it and break, and in that case at least one of our own battleships would have been lost.
After the defense just now, the speed of the Siril Royal Navy has slowed down and is now slowly accelerating. The shells of several giant metal turrets on the deck slowly opened, revealing dozens of meters long square metal rails inside.
Several powerful gunners moved a three-meter-long special crossbow arrow onto the end of the guide rail and locked it in place. Then the gunner on the ship corrected the final launch data.
The guide rail slowly rotated and was aimed at the magic sail battleship of the Kingdom of Hydra.
The fleet of the Kingdom of Hydra is about to enter the range of the magic cannons and ballistae of the three crescent moon battleships of the Royal Navy of Cyril, and both fleets are making preparations nervously.
The difference is that this time the offense and defense have changed.
Finally, Hydra's magic sail battleship came within range, and the three crescent moon battleships took the lead in opening fire.

Nearly five kilometers apart, the three Crescent Moon Battleships shook violently and moved a short distance laterally!
As many as a dozen giant crossbow arrows were shot out, attacking the Hydra battleship in the distance!
At the same time, the three magic cannons of the three Crescent Moon battleships also emitted three death beams, shooting straight at the Hydera battleships.
The crossbow arrows are as fast as lightning, and the magic light is thunderous!
The Hydera battleships were still accelerating desperately, trying to seize the battle position, and at the same time they were also making Z-shaped movements in order to avoid this wave of blows.
The light of the magic cannon arrived first, and the three rays of light representing death continuously washed away the magic sail battleship, causing its magic defense shield to be shaky for a while.
Although the magic cannons of the Xirel Empire are not as good as Hydera in terms of range and power, they are better at this moment because their number is three times that of Hydera. In this way, the power of the three magic cannons cannot be underestimated.
Finally, the legendary mage on the Hydra battleship took action. With the continuous output of his magic power, the battleship's magic defense shield withstood the siege.
Immediately, the legendary mage took action, destroying more than a dozen giant crossbow arrows that followed, and allowed them to fall into the sea, causing bursts of explosions.
The seawater stirred up by the explosion drenched the sailors on the Hydra battleship, but they did not react at all. Instead, they continued to prepare for war, nervously loading magic cannons and ballistae.
These sailors continued to fill pieces of magic crystals into the magic cannon. Soon, the energy storage device of the magic cannon was filled with magic crystals.
As the loading was completed, under the control of the magician, this terrifying magic cannon once again flashed the terrifying pink light of death.
It was another earth-shattering blow. The three crescent-moon battleships of the Siril Royal Navy had to jointly activate the crescent-moon shield again to withstand the terrifying attack of the magic cannon.
At this time, the cruisers of both sides also entered their respective shooting ranges, and a large number of crossbow arrows were continuously fired at each other.
Cruisers do not have the same perverted defenses as battleships, but rely on relatively simple magic defense and strong hulls to resist blows. Therefore, battles between cruisers are far more brutal than battleships.
Violent explosions continued one after another, and horrifying balls of fire continued to rise on the cruisers on both sides.
The magical defenses on these cruisers had been destroyed in the first wave of strikes, and all that was left was to see who could withstand the opponent's blows and counterattack.
The battleships on both sides were confronting each other and were unable to free their hands to help their cruisers.
Every time an explosion occurs, these 100-meter-long cruisers will jump violently, and at the same time, the sailors on the deck will be killed and injured.
However, the fighting will of both sides is very strong. Even if all the sailors on the deck are killed, the personnel in the bottom cabin will be quickly replaced, and even the cooks will operate the crossbows.

There are always unlucky ones in war. No, since the naval battle began, the first ship to be sunk appeared.
It is the "Lion", the first ship of the Lion-class cruiser of the Royal Navy of Cyril. It was attacked by Hydra's cruiser with concentrated fire, and at least a dozen crossbow arrows hit its hull.
This cutting-edge cruiser, which had been in service for more than 20 years, simply exploded into three pieces and quickly sank into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, except for a whirlpool, some floating logs and flags, there was no trace of the cruiser on the sea.
Most of the sailor spirits on the ship had no time to escape and could only sink into the sea with the battleship. Even if these sailors were proficient in water skills, at least most of them were caught off guard and got caught in the shipwreck whirlpool like a winch. Whether they could escape depended on luck.
Seeing the tragic fate of their brother ship being sunk, the rest of the Siril Royal Navy cruisers poured out their vengeful fury on the cruiser "Holy Angel" headed by Hydra.
For a moment, the "Holy Angel" cruiser that was set on fire flashed with flames, smoke billowed, and dead bodies were everywhere.
In the end, the "Holy Angel" could not escape the fate of sinking. After the cabin where the crossbows were stored was penetrated, it suffered a violent explosion, broke into two pieces, and disappeared into the endless sea within half a minute.
At this time, the Royal Navy of Cyril also changed its strategy, quickly gathering up the cruisers that were scattered and fighting on their own, and then used three crescent battleships to provide defense for the entire fleet, and then concentrated firepower to attack Hydera's cruisers.
As for Hydera's magic sail battleships, let's not worry about them for the time being. Before the magic crystal is consumed, Hydera's battleships will not be able to effectively attack the three crescent moon battleships for the time being.

This strategy was very effective. Due to the huge size of the battleship's ballistae, its power and range were naturally extremely powerful.
Under the leadership of the three crescent-moon ships, Hydra's cruisers would be disabled if they were touched, and would be killed if they were touched.
In an instant, two more Hydra cruisers were sunk.
Achieving such a record against the Navy of the Kingdom of Hydera was a highlight that the Imperial Navy of Cyril had never experienced before. The sailors of Cyril shouted loudly.
But the naval battle is not over yet, and it can be said that it is about to enter a fierce stage, so Xirel's sailors continued to engage in the tense battle after shouting excitedly.
Here, the Hydra battleship immediately sent out an evacuation signal, and the remaining three cruisers quickly evacuated, two of which were severely damaged.
On the magic sail battleship, the fleet commander, Ingil, a member of the Hydra royal family, frowned and said to the legendary mage beside him:
"Master Epson, I didn't expect that the new battleships of the Xirel Empire had such a powerful defense, which just offset our advantage. Damn it, I don't know what the people in the intelligence department do for a living. Even the intelligence agency of the Holy Empire has
No relevant information!”
The legendary mage Epson comforted him: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty Yingjir. Anger will only affect your judgment.
The Cyril Imperial Navy is indeed very good at keeping secrets, and their shipbuilding technology has indeed made great progress with the support of its superb magic and alchemy skills.

But today, they exposed their trump card. I think it is far more beneficial to us to expose Xireer's strength at this moment than to reveal the trump card in the possible naval decisive battle in the future.
When we go back, we only need to carry out targeted preparations and modifications, and we will re-establish our advantage in the future. After all, offense is the best defense!"
Yingjir nodded: "Yes, no matter how powerful the defense is, there will be flaws. In history, there are no fortified cities that cannot be broken, and there are no battleships that cannot be sunk. But right now we have no choice. The magic power of the magic cannon
The crystal is only enough to fire two more cannons, but it is difficult to say that it can break through the defenses of Siriel's three battleships. After all, they are more numerous and their magic power reserves will only be larger."
"A wise man should make a decisive decision. The losses this time are already considerable, but if the stalemate continues, I am afraid that except for our battleship, the three cruisers will be sunk." The legendary mage said.
"But if I run back in such a dejected manner, I will lose all face. Master Epson, should we dispatch Hydra?"
