In the Devil's World, in the Sea of Storms, on the flagship of the First Cruiser Fleet of Elanthir heading south along the coastline, Captain Pren Aike is looking at the demon battleship in the distance.
A sea of fire had already been ignited on top of this demon battleship, and two cannonballs hit it, leaving it in its current state.
Miraculously, this demon battleship did not die in the explosion, so it was still lying on the sea. On the passing Elan Hill battleship, many sailors were looking at the demon battleship on the deck, as if they were looking at the scenery.
"No wonder it didn't die, it turned out to be a sailing ship." Plenacre's flagship has a full displacement of more than 20,000 tons, is equipped with a standard 203 mm caliber, and is a standard Des Moines-class cruiser.
Its independent combat capability is super strong, and its artillery fire rate is super fast. It is the strongest cruiser in the World War II era, and of course one of the largest cruisers.
Just relying on its main gun, it can easily defeat all enemies - this new type of cruiser is also equipped with the most powerful and advanced fire control radar, which can easily hit large targets 20 kilometers away.
"So the devil also uses a sailboat?" the adjutant put down the telescope in his hand and joked.
After they arrived in the demon world, as a patrol fleet on the periphery of the core fleet, they had sunk several demon warships.
Most of the time, demon battleships are made of steel, and their propulsion system is similar to that of human battleships. They use magic liquid as fuel, which is very dangerous and easy to explode.
These inherent impressions have now been overturned. The devil's warships also have sailing ships, equipped with old-fashioned ballistae, and their combat capabilities are about the same as the fishing boats currently used by Eilanhir.
Yes, there are almost as many as fishing boats. After all, the whaling ships of Eiland Hill also have ballistae, and the range and destructive power are not necessarily much worse than this ancient ballistae. What is even more exaggerated is that the whaling ships are all made of steel.
, Nowadays, in Ireland, there are fewer and fewer people using sailboats.
Of course, there are not no sailing boats. In today's Ireland, nobles are beginning to be keen on owning their own yachts and showing off their wealth.
There are of course two types of yachts, one with a power system, and the other with an ancient sailboat style - both types of boats have their own advantages, but sailboats are obviously more playable, just like a manual transmission car.
Drivers have some skills and are more topical.
"It seems that their war potential has been completely exhausted." Plunk Aik sighed and took his eyes back from the sinking sailboat.
The only reason why this sailing ship can persist until now is because the 203mm heavy artillery shell passed through its hull and did not explode inside the battleship.
However, it was only a matter of time before it sank. After all, no wooden sailboat could withstand the bombardment of a 203 mm caliber artillery piece.
"These demons really deserve to die... When they showed off their power, they slaughtered us humans at will. Now that we have risen, they know how to hang up the white flag and surrender." Seeing the dazzling white flag through the telescope, the adjutant complained in a cold tone.
"Let the secondary battery fire...it's an eyesore." Plunk's brows furrowed and he ordered.
The adjutant nodded, grabbed the phone next to him, and ordered: "Open fire with the secondary battery! Send those bastards to hell!"
"Buzz!" On the deck on the side of the battleship, the 127-mm-caliber twin secondary guns for air defense began to energize and turn, and the two black muzzles were aimed at the helpless white flag in the flames.
"Fire!" the commander at the gun position ordered softly, and the gunner pressed the fire switch.
"Boom! Boom!" Two artillery pieces sprayed out tongues of flame, and two shells hit the waterline of the devil's sailing warship in the distance.
The huge water column was stirred up, and the wooden sailboat tilted and broke at a speed visible to the naked eye. It could no longer support the tossing, could no longer bear its own weight, and quickly rolled sideways on the sea.
The broken masts and the canvas connected to the masts were soaked in the sea water. The demon soldiers on the hull were climbing hard to survive.
However, it is obvious that they have no chance to survive anymore. The nearest coastline is hundreds of kilometers away, and there is no way for them to return to land alive.
At this moment, at the outermost edge of the entire 1st Cruiser Fleet, an Aegis destroyer for air defense suddenly sprayed out a line of white smoke. This line of smoke shot straight into the sky, followed by a second line of white smoke.
Rise up from the ground.
Those were two "standard" anti-aircraft missiles. Apparently the destroyer found some target and immediately launched an attack on the enemy in the distance.
"Barotes has discovered an air target! It's extremely fast!" An officer in charge of liaison saw the real-time information transmitted on his computer monitor and immediately reported it loudly.
"Air force? Extremely fast? Demon missile?" Plunkeye was stunned for a moment, then walked to the intelligence analysis screen shared by the data link and saw the incoming target approaching his fleet little by little.
"Let the anti-aircraft destroyers shoot it down." He gave the order, and then walked to the porthole in front of the bridge and looked at the sailboat that had sunk two-thirds: "Strange, is there anything important on this ship?
Isn’t the thing ready?”
Just as he was asking this unanswered question to himself, the vertical launch system on another destroyer started working, and two identical "standard" anti-aircraft missiles soared into the sky and flew directly to the target in the distance.
.
Obviously, the two missiles just launched did not hit the target. It was still approaching the fleet and seemed not to care about the incoming missiles at all.
"Hoo! Hoo!" Just as Plenek was in a daze, another missile from a destroyer flew into the sky. The destroyer Barotez, which first discovered the target, launched two more missiles in one breath.
"Eight anti-aircraft missiles? Intercept one target?" Plunk Aik is also an old naval commander. He has never seen a situation where just one target made the Aegis destroyer so busy.
At this moment, he felt the seriousness of the matter - the target was obviously not a demon missile or a demon general, it was obviously a higher-level enemy!
"Buzz!" The inscription on the outermost missile destroyer's hull began to flash, and the entire destroyer's outer layer was covered with a magic defensive barrier.
Then, one destroyer after another opened their own magic defense barriers, and the 1st Cruiser Fleet was shrouded in light.
"Squeak..." The next second, all the warships' close-in rapid-fire cannons were pointing to the sky on one side.
