"Communications equipment failure?"
Morsek froze for a moment, thinking he had misheard. He had never encountered anything like this since taking command of the fleet.
But he reacted quickly. As an "Iron-blooded Knight," he could use his latent connection with his soldiers to send orders to the officers aboard the other warships.
Those officers were vital nodes in the command network. As long as they received his orders, he could command the fleet as usual, even without communications equipment.
Yet, for some reason, although Morsek could sense those officers and the nodes they formed,
whenever he tried to convey orders to those officers, those nodes, invisible interference and obstacles made it difficult to send the information out.
"How could this happen?"
Morsek was certain that some ability was interfering with them, but he had never heard of any ability capable of producing such an effect.
"It doesn't seem like the prohibition ability of high-level Arbiters..."
"Nor does it seem like the distortion ability of high-level Lawyers..."
Morsek made a swift decision. Instead, he prayed to an Angel, seeking guidance from a "Weather Warlock" of the imperial family.
"Ruler of the battlefield mist, symbol of changing weather, totem of storms and lightning, great Akhmatova Einhorn..."
After finishing his prayer, Morsek waited quietly for a response.
However.
Five minutes passed.
He received no response at all.

Orders could not be conveyed.
Outside help could not be sought.
It was tantamount to being isolated.
Morsek knew all too well what would happen to an isolated army.
In the past, he had reduced many opponents to
