In a naval battle like this, once a warship lost its speed, then even if it could still keep firing, it had more or less become a target. The enemy moved fast while it moved slowly; naturally, the enemy's chances of hitting it with artillery fire would multiply.
Those starfish were mutated ferromagnetic starfish. Each one was extremely heavy, like chunks of stone, capable of clinging tightly to the metal hulls of passing ships. Normally, the bottoms of large ships sailing the sea would inevitably have such attached creatures as starfish and sea snails. But at this moment, there were simply too many starfish and sea snails—so many it was terrifying. After covering the bottoms and one side of the warships, they not only caused the ships' weight to surge, but also increased their resistance in the water as they sailed, even making the ships list slightly. In this state, they not only affected the warships' speed, but also their firing accuracy.
As the two battleships of the North Wind Fleet suddenly slowed, the other four cruisers had no choice but to slow as well, and the entire fleet's formation immediately fell into some disorder.
In a situation like this, no one could have anticipated such a thing happening.
Gongsun Liniang had already shot down from the sky like a meteor, plunging straight into the sea...
Through the optical imaging device, everyone aboard the airship saw many sailors rushing out on the two North Wind Fleet battleships, using high-pressure water cannons to blast the enormous starfish and sea snails from the sides of the hulls. But this seemed to have little effect, because only a small number of starfish and sea snails could be washed away. And beneath the two battleships, in places the high-pressure water cannons could not reach,
