The First Naval Battle!

On the flagship of the Kentji-class,

Lin Xiaowei lay listlessly on the deck at the bow of the ship, gazing at the distant sea... This was already their third day at sea.

In the past few days, relying on supply points along the way, they have sailed more than 2,000 nautical miles and have now truly entered the Storm Sea seas.

In those three days, they only encountered Pirate Ship once.

It's still the kind that's not very large.

The fleet wasn't particularly strong in combat either.

They were so frightened by the sight of the cruiser ahead of the Kentji-class that they fled in panic... Soon after, news that the United Kingdom Navy possessed ironclad warships spread throughout the entire seas, and many pirates began to know that the Magic Association had begun to participate in the struggle for power in the seas!

As for how they passed the message...

In fact, the methods of transmitting messages at sea are not that outdated.

Various corrupt druids and evil beast tamers are active on the sea, using seagulls and flying fish as their eyes and ears.

Compared to the mainland,

There are even more mysterious forces active on the sea.

Lin Xiaowei, leaning against the deck railing, even felt a little regretful... What a load of rubbish, One Piece! Where are all those exciting battles and interesting stories? If you're so tough, come and challenge me to a duel! Just as Lin Xiaowei was about to explode with boredom, Master Kentji and Captain Ailun came onto the deck.

Seeing Lin Xiaowei's "I'm so annoyed" look, Ailun laughed and said, "Many people yearn for life at sea. They think that adventuring at sea means riding the waves, conquering the unknown, drinking and singing when they're not fighting, and indulging in debauchery when they're ashore..."

Ailun laughed from behind, "Of course, we can have that kind of life on our ship if you want. Although we are a warship, I don't think those spineless pirates would dare to attack us."

The Master Kentji laughed and said, "I think so too."

However, Master Kentji's "feeling" is different from Captain Ailun's "feeling".

Ailun felt that the warship was so tall and sturdy that a sailing Pirate Ship could not possibly be a match for such a behemoth! Master Kentji, however, thought...

After all, their names are engraved on this flagship! Who would dare to invade?

All right...

The Master Kentji, who always dressed himself impeccably, was actually a show-off and arrogant guy.

Lin Xiaowei knew exactly what the two men were talking about, but she was too lazy to respond... She even considered sending them back and taking a picture with her phone to send to Li Yao.

Sudden,

Her eyes narrowed! In the far distance, a fleet seemed to be sailing towards them. Her vision was already enhanced by multiple spells, so she could see farther than others!

The Master Kentji also noticed something amiss!

He sensed an ominous presence approaching!

Just as Master Kentji and Lin Xiaowei noticed something amiss and were about to notify the entire ship, an alarm sounded from the watchtower at the highest point of the warship! "Woo-woo-woo!"

Two long and one short signal indicated an enemy presence! Captain Ailun instantly jumped up and strode nimbly towards the bridge, his battle station! As he charged, he muttered to himself, "Some fools actually came looking for trouble!"

He charged into the bridge, shouting, "Guys! Cheer up! It's an honor for you to fight here! Don't disgrace Master Kentji and Mage Gwenia! Understand?"

"Know!"

The energetic young man didn't need Ailun's reminder at all! Ailun, on the other hand, roared, "Attention everyone! Enter Level One combat readiness!"

"Enter Level One Combat Readiness!"

The fleet's trajectory changed abruptly, with the cruisers at the far end actively approaching the enemy ships, even though from the watchtower they appeared to be sailing ships, not capable of threatening ironclads.

However, this is a world with magic!

And the Magic Association isn't the only organization that wields magical power! There are many hidden, evil magic users lurking in every corner of the continent, and on the chaotic ocean, such individuals seem to be especially numerous! Therefore, Captain Ailun dares not slacken his vigilance in the slightest.

Once the cruiser approached the enemy vessel, Captain Ailun immediately ordered via the magical communication device mounted on the bridge, "Fire!"

Their warships were all equipped with cannons! And this weapon was said to have been invented by the mage Gwenia!

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of cannon shots came from afar, but after being dissipated by the strong sea breeze, they were no longer so impressive.

The cannons had a range of about 20 to 30 nautical miles, and it was said that they were cannons that had been improved many times to increase their power! According to the original plan, the enemy should have lost their combat capability after one round of cannon fire, but according to the report from the cruiser at the front, the Pirate Ship that were approaching at high speed suddenly burst out with a pale green light, and then the cannon attack failed!

On the flagship's deck, Master Kentji's expression turned serious. "Those ships... there's something strange about them."

His eyes suddenly shone with a strange, bright light. After scanning around a few times, he said to Lin Xiaowei, "Gwenia... there are strange psionic fluctuations on those Pirate Ship. They are magic ships... but it's strange that the way the psionic energy operates on them is different from the way psionic energy is used in the Main World."

and,

After a moment's Kentji said, "There's a strange, twisted feeling about it. Could this be the unfamiliar force that's been active in the Seven Seas lately?"

Lin Xiaowei calmly replied, "So what?"

She took out a simplified communicator from her Space Ring and connected to the bridge. "Captain, have the destroyers surround them! Use saturation fire! Send the flagship up too! Have the main guns, secondary guns, and bow and stern guns all cover them!"

Magical power is nothing special? Today, I, the Emperor, will show you what "justice is in the caliber" truly means! What "truth is within range" truly means! Captain Elron, upon receiving the order, was somewhat stunned. The education he received on Kimbaro Island was nothing like this!

What about vanguard battles, main team battles, and quick cut-off attacks after key containment...?

certainly,

Due to current technological limitations, these things remain theoretical.

For example, destroyers currently lack sufficient endurance to conduct large-scale coordinated operations over extremely long distances, and cruisers also lack sufficient reserves of ammunition, fuel, and other supplies to support long-distance voyages.

but,

It's also feasible to conduct rapid maneuver operations while spreading out over the surrounding hundreds of nautical miles.

Further issues will be submitted and improvements will be made as they are discovered!

Even with limited resources, we shouldn't have rushed into it all at once! Never mind...

Although Ailun was the captain, the fleet and many tactics were provided by the person on the front deck, and he was not very familiar with the new warships.

At this point, it's best not to put on airs as captain! So, Ailun immediately ordered the personnel in the bridge, "All units, follow up! Saturation bombardment!"

This is the second update. Honestly, the most wonderful thing about writing is meeting a group of like-minded friends. Thank you to Ye Yu, thank you to Duo Duo, thank you to Hell Cat, thank you to all my Mengzhu, and thank you to all my fellow readers... Although I've encountered some issues recently, I'm very touched. After finishing this chapter, I'll continue writing. I hope you all enjoy reading!
