Nomiri was even more happy and her voice became louder, making the red dragon Jax even more depressed.
"Is there any dragon power left?"
Aslan brought unprecedented satisfaction to Nomeli, and the suppressed emotions during this period were finally released.
The whole person also relaxed a lot, Nomiri's face became rosy, and her skin became more delicate.
"Your Majesty, there are traces of the Blue Star Fleet."
The voice of the interim commander of the naval fleet, Dortmund, came from the communicator.
"I'll be down right away," Aslan said.
"I'll go over to investigate, but don't rush in." Nomeli said calmly.
Red Dragon Jax can fly to the mesosphere, but even Blue Star's fighter jets cannot fly to the stratosphere, let alone the mesosphere.
Nomeli's high-altitude reconnaissance is indeed very safe, and with the two working together, the four or five great mentor-level experts are no match for them.
Aslan ordered the fleet to slowly approach the Blue Star fleet, and the main guns of each battleship began to prepare, and once the target was found, they would fire with all their strength.
"The ordinary ships of the Blue Star Fleet have retreated, and there are only eighteen battleships left to sail towards you." Nomiri's voice soon sounded in his ears.
After Aslan hesitated for a while, he decisively gave the order to attack.
The imperial fleet was ready to launch its attack. They had been waiting in this area for a week. The mood of the soldiers changed from nervousness to calmness, and their morale also slowly decreased from high.
Aslan was worried that if this situation continued, the morale of the fleet would fall to the bottom, and when the Blue Star Fleet came, it would be a disaster.
"Commanders, today will be the first battle of the Imperial Navy. I don't want this to be the only battle. No matter whether we win or not, I just ask that you can bring out the great name of the Empire and the glory of the Imperial Navy. We will fight with you till the end."
At the last moment, let honor accompany us to conquer the ocean."
Aslan picked up the communicator and said.
At first, the soldiers were just nervous, but when they heard that Aslan would accompany them to the war, their originally low morale suddenly rose to the top.
Aslan heard the constant cheers and the captain's voice quickly issuing orders from the other side of the communicator.
"The war has begun." Aslan said suddenly, looking at the distance between the sea and the sky.
Grant nodded and waved his hand.
"The entire army is advancing at full speed."
Grant, a knight with good talent, successfully broke through the knight mentor last month. However, compared to the knight mentor, Grant has never mastered the knight skills, which made him very depressed and depressed. Some people even laughed at him for not being a qualified knight.
After the establishment of the Navy, Grant gave up his status as a knight officer and became a naval fleet officer. Because he was once a member of the Knight Guard, he was fortunate enough to become the captain of the Billy-class frigate, the first battleship in the empire.
Within a year, he was even sent to the Naval Academy of the Holy Breta Empire for half a year. Later, he jumped three times in a row and now became the captain of the St. John-class light cruiser.
This is already the most advanced warship in the Melox Empire.
The performance of the Merox Empire's magic wave radar is several times that of the Maxim Empire. When the Imperial Navy fleet locked onto the Blue Star Fleet, the Blue Star Fleet was still within the radar search range.
The Imperial Navy fleet guns began to rotate, the muzzles began to adjust, and the ammunition was loaded.
When the Blue Star fleet entered the range of the naval guns, Grant looked at Aslan.
Aslan nodded and joked: "From now on you will be the commander. I will not interfere with the command. I hope you will not let me become a prisoner."
Grant shook his head firmly.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Every ship of the St. John-class light cruiser fires! Once other battleships enter the shooting range, the first wave of attacks will focus on the Quinta battleship headed by the enemy." Grant shouted with a firm look.
The Quinta-class battleship is a battleship built by the Gonza Navy in the 10s of the last century.
The Quinta-class battleship has a full load displacement of 35,560 tons, a shipboard power of 136,000 horsepower, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and an endurance of 10,000 nautical miles/18 knots. The ship's weapons include 8 320mm main guns, 14 152mm secondary guns, and 8 127mm anti-aircraft guns.
and 100 25mm anti-aircraft cannons. This class of ships later underwent two large-scale modifications and improvements to improve combat performance.
The reason why this battleship is still there is because of its outstanding achievements and it is stored in a museum. Later battleships were either sunk or dismantled.
This is also a common problem in the entire Blue Star. Battleships, such giant ships that have been abandoned by the times, have extremely high maintenance costs. Countries around the world do not have many of them. Except for some meritorious old ships that will be stored in naval museums, they basically only end up with those two ends.
Nowadays, the Blue Star countries do not have even five battleships in total. In fact, the Gonza Nation and the Economic Alliance have considered building battleships on the Sino Continent. After the missile weapons cannot play their due role, the Li Ship Cannon has become
Think about goals.
Boom boom boom!
The explosion caused by the shell falling into the water caused a brief panic in the Blue Star fleet, but they quickly stabilized. They are the elite naval forces of the Gonza Nation and the Economic Alliance.
"The enemy fleet was discovered, numbering thirteen."
"Three St. John-class light cruisers, five Frennel-class destroyers, one Snowfield-class destroyer, and four unknown warships."
the radar controller shouted.
Fox, who had recovered, heard the radar controller's report and couldn't help but cursed secretly: "Damn the Holy Blyta Empire!"
These warships are all retired warships of the Holy Breita Empire. Anyone who is not a fool can guess that these retired warships were sold by the Holy Breita Empire to the Merox Empire.
"Calculate the trajectory of the cannonball and fight back!" Fox shouted.
In about ten seconds, the Quinta class split and fired first. The first wave of shots from both sides were just test shots, and shooting at moving targets at long distances at sea is not an easy task.
A huge water column erupted from the left side of the St. John-class light cruiser. Grant, who was already familiar with artillery shells, could judge the caliber and power of the artillery shells just by looking at the size of the water column.
"It is definitely a huge cannon exceeding 300mm." Grant said secretly in his heart.
All the warships participating in the battle, except for the St. John-class light cruiser, which can withstand a single shot without sinking, other warships will most likely fall silent on the spot once they are hit.
The first ones to show off their power were not the three St. John-class light cruisers, but the four Billy-class frigates. The 150mm electromagnetic gun relied on its powerful penetrating power to directly destroy a turret on the front of the Quinta-class battleship.
Because of the electromagnetic gun, the Billy-class frigate has a longer range and is more accurate. The only disadvantage is that the reloading speed is slow. Each firing takes twice as long as the main gun of the St. John-class light cruiser. You must know the main guns of the two.
The caliber of the guns differed by more than fifty millimeters.
