"If steam-powered warships were truly that powerful, the Xinma Empire would be utterly powerless to resist," Xinier said with a bitter expression beside her.
Although they had long since resigned themselves to their fate, this moment felt like a glimpse of the decline and fall of the Xinma Empire.
If the warships of the Great Liang Empire were truly that powerful, the warships of the Xinma Empire would be no match for them, and would be utterly crushed. How could any ordinary empire possibly stand against the Great Liang?
Princess Dada smiled wryly and said, "I learned a saying in Great Liang these past few days: 'Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?'"
With our Xinma Empire already established, why has another Great Liang emerged?
They are the true protagonists of this era; we've become mere stepping stones!
The Great Liang Empire was truly terrifying; its power was almost irresistible, and this overwhelming victory was simply outrageous.
If the Xinma Empire were only slightly stronger, it could still put up a fight, but the Great Liang Empire was simply too wealthy.
Well, there's nothing I can do about it anyway. I just hope my mother can wake up and stop being so presumptuous, otherwise the Xinma Empire will become a hell on earth.
Since the Great Liang Empire dared to let so many people come to see this, it must have some confidence, which means they really are going to end this era.
Not far from them, Li Siyuan and Li Yifeng watched this scene with utter shock.
Li Yifeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I never imagined that such a day would come. Has this continent become too small to contain His Majesty's ambitions?"
It was one thing for His Majesty to unify the continent before, but now he has actually extended his reach overseas. This is simply too extravagant.
At this moment, he was even somewhat grateful that he was a fellow citizen of the former emperor; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Who in the All Under Heaven can resist His Majesty's invasion?
Li Siyuan's lips twitched, and he said with a wry smile, "I'm also somewhat fortunate. If my father-in-law hadn't surrendered so decisively back then, I'd probably be a skeleton in a grave by now."
Now he is quite looking forward to seeing what exactly constitutes a new era, and what the ultimate goal of this era will be.
The mere existence of such a claim must be earth-shattering.
The next moment, his pupils contracted involuntarily as a giant ship covered in golden dragon battle flags sailed out from a distance.
The warship was filled with a dense array of offensive weapons, as well as enormous Red-Coat Cannon, all of which they recognized.
What terrified them most was that the warship gleamed with a metallic sheen, leaving everyone speechless.
"My God, it's actually made of iron?"
"How is this possible? Am I seeing things? How can an iron ship float?"
"Unbelievable! Even without using weapons, just ramming other warships would probably be too much for them to handle. It's practically a lump of iron!"
"No matter how hard wood is, it can't withstand the impact of steel. This is terrifying, absolutely frightening."
" The Great Liang is invincible! Long live the Great Liang!"
Long live the Emperor!
The crowd of people were completely terrified, their mouths agape, speechless for a long time.
After realizing what had happened, they couldn't help but cheer, some even dancing with joy. They had truly witnessed a miracle today.
Li Yifeng's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "My God, it really is an iron ship! This is terrifying!"
"This warship is so cumbersome, yet it can still be moved. Has the Great Liang Empire reached such a level? This is simply too powerful!" Li Siyuan couldn't help but exclaim.
After a long while, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, they even felt a sense of relief that Emperor Lin Yi of the Great Liang had seized this land; otherwise, this land would probably not have achieved such glory, nor would it have witnessed this miracle.
Following a country like this isn't bad; at least you don't have to worry about being bullied.
Princess Dada and her companion were completely dumbfounded. They hadn't expected that such a warship was real, meaning the Xinma Empire would have no chance left.
With warships like those, the Xinma Empire probably wouldn't be able to take them down without dozens of them; they're made of iron.
Princess Dada said bitterly, "We must quickly inform the Queen Mother of this news so that she can complete the handover ceremony of the Xinma Empire. Otherwise, the Xinma Empire may not be able to hold out until it surrenders."
She was somewhat aware of her mother's plans: to help the Xinma Empire achieve victory in the Great Liang Empire, and then launch a rebellion.
But given the current situation, Great Liang probably won't give you that chance; if you try to resist, you'll only face certain death.
When the Great Liang army marches in, it's estimated that no one in Xinma will be able to stop them.
"I also think Her Majesty the Empress was a bit rash. Under these circumstances, it would be better to seek refuge with Great Liang. If they are angered, there will definitely be no good outcome." Xinier swallowed and said with a wry smile.
Although he was considered a brave man, the thought of facing such warships filled him with utter despair.
Even without using their cannons, the mere ramming of the enemy ships would likely have annihilated the entire Xinma Empire's fleet.
The gap between the two sides is simply too large; it's a distance that cannot be bridged even by numbers.
If the Great Liang Empire were to actually decide to attack the Xinma Empire, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Judging from the fact that the other party was completely unguarded, it was clear that Great Liang was powerful and did not take the Xinma Empire seriously at all.
At this moment, Lin Yi had no time to pay attention to them. His gaze was fixed on the warship, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.
The steam-powered warships were finally built, giving them the ability to end this era.
With the speed of steam-powered warships, the time it takes to enter the Moses Empire and the Xinma Empire will be reduced by more than half.
Moreover, with this stable kinetic energy, the warship's combat effectiveness will be more stable, and its average speed will be greatly improved, which is an extremely frightening thing.
With this kind of battlefield, I will have the ability to strike any country or any force.
Lin Rusong's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands excitedly, saying, "Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! So the steam-powered warship my son was talking about is simply All Under Heaven!"
With that warship and that size, who could withstand a single shot from it? It would be blasted to smithereens!
"This is simply a war monster. Its entry into the ocean would be an absolute nightmare for other countries," Wang Ziwen nodded, unable to help but smile wryly.
