Power and Empire Chapter 2877: Furious (16)
The white waves swept across the ice and pushed on a hull covered with algae and made a rushing sound. In the shadow of a remote corner of the bay, a small merchant vessel was cautiously avoiding the sea covered with water. The floating ice, as the waves hit, the small merchant ship swayed up and down. This is an old-fashioned Aden sailing ship with a length of only a dozen meters, which is narrow and poorly stable. The old hull is soaked in sea water. It’s dark, it can be seen that it has been sailing at sea all year round, and it is almost integrated with the black sea surface in the bay. It is because of this that, when the speed is not fast, the attention is all focused on the Aden Navy sailors of the Dragon Crow. Found
"Miss, there is a situation ahead"
A sailor ran over nervously, just a black-haired sailor,
"Look, what's up ahead!"
"Oh my god, it's terrible"
"It looks like a navy fleet!" The sailors squeezed onto the deck. Most of them were black-haired Zhongbians. Zhongbians were new to the ocean, and for the first time they saw the navy strangling. For everyone in the scene, what happened in front of them was like the fierce beasts biting each other with the vast sea as a huge battlefield.
"Miss Song Li, if it were me, I would immediately order the ship to stop, first hide with the help of the environment, instead of continuing forward, because we have entered the battle zone! An old man said to a woman who was clearly the leader , The old man’s body looks thin and weak, but his eyes on the distant sea have a certain luster,
"Your Excellency Lukia, can you give out the identity of both parties?"
The woman's eyes flickered, and she asked curiously. She took people to the Dark Demon Land to find the craftsmanship of the ships. Only then did she know how advanced the shipbuilding craftsmanship of the Kingdom of Aden is, and that they are full of various valuable goods such as cloud sails. The Aden Merchant Ship had already traversed thousands of miles of water before arriving at the southern coast of Central Biya. Even the Song nationality of the four gate lords was shocked by this situation
The family wants to form their own sea fleet. It needs not only craftsmen, but also trainers who can train the offshore fleet. Fortunately, in the Dark Land, the woman found this old man,
It is said that he used to be a senior in the Aden Navy. Ten years ago, he was exiled to the Dark Devil’s Land because of internal dumping. The high price of one thousand taels of gold per year was the reason why the old man agreed to go with him. The old man trains his subordinates to master the skills of sailors, and then buys a logistic merchant ship retired from the navy on the black market. The merchant ship that is about to be abandoned travels day and night along the coastline, trying to avoid everything. Possible encounters, I only hope to bring back a hull that can be used as a prototype of a warship for the family. No one thought that, less than two hundred miles from the southern coast of Central Bia, suddenly found two entangled in front of each other. Navy,
Everyone’s eyes just saw an Aden flying fish sailboat, which was penetrated by the Dragon Crow’s deck at close range, causing an explosion inside. The entire deck was directly thrown off in half, and the raging flames were shot from being hit. The place where I was wearing it came out, like a huge fire snake embracing its prey, and the Aden sailors above were panicked and jumped into the cold water floating on the ice
Under the light of the fire, the fierce battle on the sea is even more evident. The exploded hull is thrown high like a child’s toy. If it’s not seen with your own eyes, it will be to the people of Central and Biyadh, who are almost all land-based people. In terms of it, it is simply unimaginable,
"On one side is the Aden Navy, on the other side, please forgive me, I really didn't recognize it!" The old man looked serious, his eyes flashed with an imperceptible astonishment,
Although the Feiyu-class fast sailing ship is not the main battleship of the Aden Navy, with its excellent mobility, it occupies the position of an unshakable lower-level battleship in the Aden Navy. Although the Aden Navy is powerful, it is the main battleship of the entire navy. Not many. On the contrary, the flying fish-class fast sailing ship, which is cheap and easy to recruit for sailors, is six to seven times the number of regular naval capital ships. It is not clear in other waters, but at least in the Aden navy control area. The Flying Fish-class fast sailing ship is sufficient for general combat needs, but now, six Flying Fish-class fast sailing warships have been slammed by an unknown warship. It can be seen from the burning hull floating on the sea all the way, this ship is unknown. The fierce and sturdy warship,
"Is it because I have been away for too long, and everything has become unrecognizable. "The old man is a bit confused." But one thing is certain. Since the Aden Navy chose to do it in the Yawu Bay, which is an important throat position, it must not People will be allowed to see it, just because the battleship in front is so powerful that it attracts all the attention of the Aden Navy, so there is now a chance for people to look at it. Once the Aden Navy discovers the small merchant ship here, They will rush over without hesitation. The killing of people is not uncommon in the Aden Navy. In fact, because of the mixture of Aden royal lords and slavery, nobles and regional lords have great authority and can lead a navy. The fleet must be a high-level nobleman. Very often, the mood of this high-level nobleman determines the ultimate fate of the prey he meets!"
"Your Excellency said, the other party will kill us!" The woman took a deep breath,
"Not so, but definitely!" The old man nodded.
The woman's face changed slightly, and she quickly gave orders to the sailors behind her to lower the sails immediately
The hull of "Wow" is hidden in the shadow of the nearby reef,
The woman breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she felt something was wrong. She felt that a crisis was imminent. Now she finally knows why. The Navy of Aden obviously didn’t want anyone to see this scene and besieged one ship with seven or eight warships. The battleships were still fought so embarrassed. Four battleships burned or sank before and after. In order to cover up this shame, or to prevent people from knowing about it, it is certain to destroy the merchant ships. It is my own luck. How could it be so good? I'm almost reaching the place, and I can still encounter this kind of thing! The reputation of the Aden Navy in the waters of Aden is not an ordinary embarrassment. It is often heard about the tolls of intercepting merchant ships and the looting of bulk cargo.
The ship quickly lowered all its sails, quietly hiding in the shadow of a reef,
"Oh my God, another one was blown up. It was too sturdy!" The sailors on the deck let out a depressed cry again,
The woman was also standing on the bow at the moment, her eyes nervously looking into the distance, her red lips pressed tightly, her star-like beautiful eyes, staring at the Dragon Crow and the Fifth Fleet of the Aden Navy who were fighting fiercely in the distance. , Looked at this battle completely from the eyes of bystanders, even though I was psychologically prepared, I was still shocked by the intensity of the battle, completely beyond the woman’s expectations. In ordinary thinking, how can a battleship be unable to compete with a group of battleships? Yes, but here, when she saw the Dragon Crow once again destroyed an Aden Flying Fish sailboat known as the hunting hound with fierce firepower, her crimson lips were slightly open, and she did not close it for a long time
"What a powerful firepower", the old man also stood in the bow position and couldn't help but let out a deep emotion
His eyes stopped many times on the falcon navy flag fluttering in the wind on the top of the Dragon Crow ship, but he still couldn't remember the naval flag of that country. Since sixty years ago, the Kingdom of Aden abandoned the inner sea. The expansion of the region has shifted to the control of the waters of Aden and Central Biya. For decades, the Aden Navy has cleaned up all nearby maritime forces that may threaten the Aden Navy. How can there be such a terrible enemy
"Unless, this naval warship is not from the Sea of Aden!"
An impossible thought flashed through the old man’s mind. The old man’s body trembled slightly. Even after ten years of exile, the old man had heard of the imperial navy’s prestige, the maritime hegemon who had risen like a hurricane in the past few years. Without the Gangfei Navy and the Strand Navy, its most terrifying weapon is not the Thor cannon that can severely damage opponents like this!
The old man's face is serious. "The other side, it should be the Imperial Navy! Because besides the Imperial Navy, I really don't think there are other navies with such terrible combat power."
"Imperial Navy? Is it the navy of the Falcon Empire?" When the woman heard the name, her pretty face was slightly stunned. When it comes to the empire of the Western Continent, the woman only remembers one Falcon Empire. That is because the family is reluctant. Signed an agreement to purchase iron ore with this powerful country in the West Continent
"Yes, it's the Falcon Empire Navy, the overlord of the waters inside and outside of Obaro!" The old man said solemnly, and said every word, as if he had struck out Mars with iron, his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand. Emotion, the hand on the side of the ship suddenly tightened. "If it were ten years ago, I would never admit that there was a navy even stronger than the Biadin Navy, even though the Strand Sea State in the inland sea area had already It is a first-class maritime hegemon, but after all, it is only a small country composed of islands. The population and national foundation are there. The momentary strength does not explain much, but the Falcon Empire navy, which has risen rapidly in the past few years, is different. Since then, it has continuously defeated the Gaul navy and the non-Navy at an unstoppable pace, occupying the entire open sea area of the North Continent, and then aggressively marching on the coast of the inland sea, and finally annexing the Strand Sea State and strangling the Feshan Navy, which one is not The powerful collision of battleships against battleships, the naval fleets that once ruled the inland waters, eventually lowered the proud navy flag in front of the Falcon Imperial Navy."
"The Falcon Empire has such a powerful navy!" The woman called Song Li was a little stunned. Although she thought that the Falcon Empire was very powerful, she did not expect that its navy would be so strong. If it were of the same number, Song Li believes that the Aden Navy is completely the target of being crushed!
"I heard that there is an excellent artist in Miss Song Li's servant." The old man didn't know what he thought of, so he suddenly spoke.
"There is indeed an accompanying painter" Song Li nodded. Originally, I brought this painter with me in the hope that I could draw down the route along the way, but later discovered that exploration drawing and painter drawing are completely different things, so this painter It was also used as a general entourage, Song Li didn't know what the old man suddenly asked this for!
"The young lady should let people draw this scene before us, especially the appearance of this imperial battleship. "The old man took a deep breath." No matter how good this imperial naval battleship is, it can't fight against the entire squadron. It is only a matter of time before the sinking or being captured. If the lady can send this news and the painting to the Falcon Empire, I believe that the Falcon Empire will be willing to pay a large price to buy this painting, and will remember the lady’s Favors"
"Just because of a painting? The dignified imperial navy will remember me as a favor?" Song Li blinked, and she did not believe that the Falcon Empire had a liaison office in the Song area, which was mainly responsible for some business dealings. The team’s affairs are not difficult to send after arriving at the coast
"That's not a painting, but a piece of news. It's news about the final fate of this imperial battleship!" The old man shook his head indifferently. It must have taken a long time for the imperial warship to travel here. I believe that the headquarters of the Imperial Navy must very much hope to get the final news of this warship! The value here is not understandable by outsiders. Miss just needs to follow this. Just do it!"
"I understand!" Song Li's delicate body trembled slightly, and she immediately asked the artist to be found, asking him to immediately draw the scene in front of him, watching the artist's pen on a piece of paper Gradually outline the outline of the lonely imperial battleship in the distance, and outline the scene of several Aden Flying Fish Clippers stacking up against each other,
"Boom Rumble"
The huge firelight skyrocketed, and the imperial warship in the distance was seen emitting a huge fire dragon from the inside. It swept the nearby Aden flying fish sailboats, and you could see the people of Aden jumping into the sea chaotically. , Embarrassed
"It blew up~IndoMTL.com~ That warship blew up!"
Song Li heard an uproar from the sailors around, but the painter's brush did not stop. Although the dazzling grass was painted, she painted this tragic scene. The Obaro-style empire described by the painter The battleship, the flames glowing, faintly, Song Li seems to be able to see this imperial battleship set off from the distant continent of Obaro. After untold hardships, traversing thousands of miles of sea, it is finally about to enter the southern coast of Central Bahia. At that time, he was attacked by the Aden Navy and finally unwilling to be reconciled
The chaos on the sea calmed down two hours later. Faced with the last imperial warship that blew up, the Fifth Fleet of the Aden Navy was helpless. To be on the safe side, the Aden Navy's fleet waited until the Dragon Crow's hull completely sank into the sea. Zhong turned to leave. Only the remains of the burning Aden fast sailing ship remained on the sea, and there were still a large number of frozen dead sailors’ bodies floating on the sea.
The sea breeze in the dark night is even more cold, and the small merchant ship is cautiously walking through this sea promenade like Shura hell.
