"Holy shit!"
Lin Yi's pupils contracted, and he immediately became interested.
Logically speaking, even an ironclad warship shouldn't act so recklessly, given the immense force of the impact.
Even for an ironclad warship, if the armor is not thick enough, such an impact would be enough to tear the iron sheet in front.
Now that Ma Jun is so ferocious as to ram directly into it, it's clear that he has done something to the front of the warship to make it so sharp and violent.
This is the legendary high-tech version. Ma Jun truly lives up to his reputation as a tech expert; his skills are simply amazing.
"Wow, this thing is amazing! Who can withstand its power?"
"Even the largest warship couldn't withstand such a blow; he's a true man among men," Xu Chu exclaimed in surprise.
With the power of this warship, it's practically indestructible; who could stand in its way? If there were hundreds of such warships, even thousands or tens of thousands of ships in front of it would probably be completely destroyed. It's just too awesome.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him, surprised that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes could actually drive.
He then looked at Ma Jun and smiled, "My dear minister, there must be some kind of design in your warship, otherwise it would be impossible for it to be so sturdy."
"Haha, Your Majesty is indeed insightful, seeing the problem at a glance. Indeed, the ironclad ship we are using in front is made of a single piece of iron plate, which is more than ten times thicker than ordinary iron sheets."
"To balance its weight, we added a similar design at the back, and the steam engine system was also moved to the back..." Ma Jun explained with a smile.
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. It was more like a ship with an iron bow than an armored ship.
The bow was clearly intentionally designed to deliver a powerful impact, allowing it to strike its target directly. Combined with its unique, flowing hull, this amplified its strength.
Now that its impact capability has been fully adapted and is definitely superior to other battlefields, all that remains is its offensive power.
"Haha, I will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty!"
Ma Jun burst into laughter and raised the banner once again.
At the same time, dozens of small fishing boats were launched into the river. After that, the people immediately retreated to a boat, far away from the attack range of the Pangu.
At that moment, the order to attack was given.
Upon receiving the signal, the commander on the warship did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered the loading of various types of ammunition.
"Emission!"
With a command given from the warship, more than a dozen cannons opened fire, instantly blasting the surrounding target ships into pieces, each one billowing smoke as it sank to the bottom of the river.
The last, larger, dilapidated warship was blasted into pieces during the second round of replenishment and eventually fell to the bottom of the river.
"Holy crap, that's amazing!"
The civilians on the shore were not only stunned, but also utterly dumbfounded. This warship was terrifying; it had wiped out so many enemies in an instant.
These were just empty ships. If there had been people on board, at least a hundred would have died in that attack. It was absolutely brutal. With that kind of firepower, who could withstand it? The Moses Empire would probably be devastated.
Princess Dada's face turned deathly pale. She exclaimed, "My God! So this is a cannon! Its power is simply outrageous! These fishing boats were blown up into a giant warship and torn to shreds!"
How could our warships in the Xinma Empire withstand this? If the Great Liang were to attack us, we would probably have no chance to retaliate.
If Princess Dada was merely shocked before, now she was filled with deep fear, for she felt a despairing gap between them.
With such terrifying cannons and the strength of this warship, the Xinma Empire simply cannot stop them. They can't even get close; they would be sunk by the enemy's cannons from a great distance.
Just that instant of firepower destroyed more than ten small fishing boats. Even a large ship would probably be unable to withstand it. The destruction of the last warship demonstrates the power of this thing; it is absolutely capable of destroying everything.
"Your Highness, I believe we cannot allow Her Majesty the Empress to continue down this wrong path. If she were to oppose the Great Liang Empire, the consequences would be unimaginable," said Xinier, his face pale.
Although they knew of the cannon's existence, they only knew it was very powerful and formidable, but they never imagined it would be so terrifying that it could blow a ship to pieces.
If the Great Liang were to use this, the Xinma Empire would be completely powerless to resist. In this situation, if Her Majesty the Empress were to insist on going back on her word later, it would practically plunge the Xinma Empire into a desperate situation.
If the emperor of Great Liang is angered, the Xinma Empire could even turn into a living hell.
Having spent so much time in Great Liang, he had gotten to know Lin Yi's temperament a little; he was someone who would respond better to gentleness than force. If he were truly provoked, there would likely be no survivors in the Xinma Empire.
The Yamata Empire, it is said, plotted against him, ultimately slaughtering everyone on the island except for tens of thousands, who are still doing hard labor to this day; the tragedy was utterly inhuman.
Rather than letting Her Majesty the Empress continue on her own, it would be better to let the Princess return and take over the Xinma Empire, then align herself with Great Liang. Perhaps there is still hope.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about loyalty. If His Majesty and the others were to plot against the Emperor of Great Liang, the consequences would be unimaginable. Before, he only knew that there was a gap between them, but now he truly realized that it was more than just a gap; it was an absolute difference.
Princess Dada took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Yes, we can't let Mother and the others cause trouble. I'll go to the palace tonight, and we'll go straight back tomorrow. If the Xinma Empire wants to survive, it must be on good terms with Great Liang."
The Moses Empire certainly did not possess such terrifying strength, and it would never be a match for the Great Liang.
Mother's decision is wrong; she will lead the Xinma Empire into the abyss.
She has decided to return and launch a coup, forcibly seizing control of the Xinma Empire and then submitting it to the Great Liang Empire, in order to avoid an irreversible outcome that would truly lead to utter ruin.
Her own family would become sinners in the Xinma Empire, but that was something she absolutely did not want to see.
Since the outcome cannot be changed, why struggle in vain, which will only lead to more deaths and still change nothing?
Xinier nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I will stand by the princess!"
The current situation is no longer a question of whether or not they can win, but whether the Great Liang will allow the Xinma Empire to survive. If the Great Liang had tens of thousands of cannons, the Xinma Empire would probably be wiped out.
