Chapter 238: Atlanta Enters the War

The first was the event that Sun Lin had anticipated and prepared for all the corresponding events - the entry of the Atlanta Empire into the war.

In late May, when the 1st Expeditionary Fleet and the West Sea Fleet were advancing along the proposed route, a huge Atlanta fleet appeared in the edge of the Atlanta Empire between the Zoran Maru Inland Sea and the Shiki Internal Sea. Without saying a word, the fleets rushed forward to destroy the bait, and sent sailors to scuttle the ships of Saiyi, which had been captured after the war, to tie the corpse of Ashigaru to stone and throw it into the water, and to burn all visible driftwood, and then sailed again to the islands of Saran Maru and Shikoku.

Although these Atlanta's methods of destroying corpses and destroying the traces are very strong, they are not those Xiyi who are already considered old rivals of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Knowing that no warring water area in the sea could escape the eyes of the sunset, so they didn't know that everything they did was imprinted in the minds of those fish-man sea scouts hidden at the bottom of their own ships, and as a result, information such as the actions of the Atlantan Empire and the configuration of warships in all its fleets were completely presented on the command table of Mori Motoji less than 4 hours after those fleets entered the two inland seas controlled by the Empire.

After learning from the information that the Atlanta Empire sent two well-organized Atlanta main fleets in order to raid and defeat the remnant of the empire, after analyzing the area through which its fleet would pass, Maori Yuan immediately sent the first fleet and the second fleet of the Maori Navy to a total of nearly 150 warships, relying on the advantage that they are the head snake in this territory, in just two days, they completed the encirclement of these two Atlantan main fleets in the uninhabited islands in the two inland seas, and on the night of the completion of the encirclement network, Relying on the cover of 1,000 fishmen of the 7th Fish-Man Sea Area Reconnaissance Group, which Sun Lin sent back from the northwest sea, and eliminating the reconnaissance ships and island outposts on the Atlanta side, it launched a night attack on the two Atlanta fleets at two o'clock in the morning, almost at the same time.

This situation had to be changed to before, not to mention the Atlantans, even the Xiyi people didn't dare to imagine it, because the Xiyi warship was a scum in front of the Atlantan Empire's warships, and the scum was so bad that there was no head-on confrontation. It's not that the ships of the Sunset Empire are worse than the ships of the Atlanta Empire, it's just that the warships produced by the Atlanta Empire are more suitable than the Sunset Empire.

At present, there are more than 10 digits of various ship varieties in the Atlanta Empire, but on the whole, they can be described in three words: big, slow, and ruthless. The reason why it is called big is because the hulls of the ships of the Atlanta Empire are very wide, so wide that any section of the deck can be installed on the special weapon of the Atlanta Empire's naval battle, the shark stone cannon (a kind of ballista, which shoots a kind of "crossbow arrow" with a diameter of nearly 1 decimeter and a length of only about 1.5 meters, and the head is sharpened and covered with iron sheets like a cone, and the volume is large when its power is not strong, and the crosshairs are average, mainly used to suppress coastal buildings, and can only be used as a deterrent weapon in naval battles) and even manatee torsion trebuchets, Of course, the corresponding hull is also very long.

As for slowness, there is no need to make superfluous explanations, there must be sacrifices for ships to obtain such a large body, and in addition, there are almost no assault ships and small boats in the Atlanta Imperial fleet, and the word full is indeed very vivid here; As for ruthlessness, it is not to describe the ships of the Atlanta Empire, but to describe the sailors on board. The Atlanta sailor is not tall, but he is short and strong, and has the same ruthlessness as a wolf, although it is worse than the Xiyi samurai, but compared to the sailor whose style is more ruthless.

However, although the Atlanta Empire has more than 10 digits of various ship varieties, they only dispatched 4 types this time, the first is the Seagull Battleship, one of the only two light warships in the Atlanta Empire's fleet, equipped with 1 Manatee Torsion Trebuchet and 3 Shark Stone Cannons, with 70 Atlanta sailors inside, which is faster than the ship, but much slower than Xiao Zao.

The second type is called the Swordfish Battleship, which can be regarded as one of the characteristic warships of the Atlanta Empire, the shape of the Swordfish Battleship is similar to the ancient Roman warship, so the Swordfish Warship in addition to the same personnel combat equipment configuration as the Seagull Warship, there is also a special weapon of naval warfare - Steel Ramming Angle, which is used in the case of a surprise attack, if the Swordfish Warship turns to the opponent's ship with its bow at full speed, it is very likely to hit the hull of the opponent's warship or even break it in half.

The third is the Shark Battleship, the standard ship of the Atlanta Empire, with a two-deck design that can carry 110 sailors, equipped with two manatee torsion trebuchets and four shark stone cannons.

The last one is the crystallization of the Atlanta Imperial shipwright, each of which is larger than the Great Antaku Ship, with nearly 330 sailors inside, equipped with 6 manatee trebuchets and 10 shark ballista giant battleships - the Giant Whale Battleship, whose defense is comparable to that of the old Japanese Maru, but unfortunately although it has 6 sails and 24 giant oars, its speed is not even comparable to the new Nippon Maru.

According to the report of the fish-man fighters of the sea reconnaissance group, there are 12 Seagull warships, 23 swordfish warships, 54 shark warships, 9 giant whale warships, and 2 Atlanta Imperial flagships, plus more than 60 large and small transport ships of the Atlanta Imperial Army used to transport grain and grass materials.

Before this kind of main fleet, the Maori navy did not dare to touch a single hair of it, but now the Maori navy is equipped with the Xiyi warship improved by the sunset shipwright, not only daring to attack the ships of the Atlantan Empire, but also beating those ships to the ground.

In the place of the Sea Clan, after learning that the other party was the vassal fleet of Xiyi of the Sunset Empire, the Atlantans present immediately relaxed, because in their eyes Xiyi's warship was a scum, but it didn't take long for those Atlantans to become afraid, because they were horrified to find that those Xiyi's medium-sized and giant warships were equipped with powerful long-range weapons, this long-range weapon was not only much more effective than manatee trebuchets in addition to its slightly inferior accuracy, but also powerful. The Atlanta warships below the Giant Whale class were almost unable to escape the sinking of the ship, and although the Giant Whale-class battleship did not sink, it also left a hole that was enough for nearly 1 ton of seawater to pour into it frantically every second.

The Atlantans couldn't figure out what kind of weapon the Xiyi were using? At least for four days after their total annihilation, they will not know that the warships above the Maori Navy are now equipped with giant crossbows to defend the city.
