Chapter 264: Another Naval Battle to Fight

Yes, the shadow that appeared at 11 o'clock on the Royal Victory was the Atlanta Empire's heavy ship, the Whale Battleship, but at this time the Whale Battleship was very embarrassed. The sail that was the source of the ship's power was now only one pole left on the deck of the whale battleship, and its penultimate shot was broken and dropped into the sea just now under the watchful eyes of the sailors of the Royal Victory; The hull of the giant whale battleship had also been ignited by the fire, and although it was still moving forward at this time, the crew on board had almost been engulfed in the flames, and the few crew members who were still alive began to abandon the ship and flee despite the cold of the sea.

"Look, there's a shadow behind that whale battleship." The exclamation of a sailor attracted the attention of most of the people on the Royal Victory, including Sun Lin, and finally drew attention to the shadow of the ship, which was so easily overlooked, because this shadow was a world of difference between an ant and an elephant compared to the Atlanta Empire whale battleship on fire.

"Thisβ€”This is a ship of a thousand fires?" Sun Lin said uncertainly, and put down the binoculars and rubbed his eyes before looking again. But the Xiyi-style hull shown in the telescope, a pair of giant paddle wheels mounted on both sides of the hull, and a Greek fire thrower that continued to shoot a pillar of fire at the giant whale battleship, told Sun Lin that this ship's shadow was the thousand-fire ship unique to the Xiyi servant navy on his side, which was specially used for anti-heavy warships.

"It's the Thousand Fires of the Xiyi Servant Navy! It's so violent! Chase a whale battleship! ”

"There seem to be a few gaps in the body of that giant whale warship, which are caused by the giant crossbow defending the city, isn't that kind of weapon only installed by the medium and heavy ships in the Xiyi servant navy? Could it be that there is a detachment of the Xiyi Servant Navy near Stormwind Island? ”

"Wouldn't it? The sea where Stormwind Island is located is nominally part of the Atlanta Empire, huh? And I heard that there are two detachments of the 3rd Fleet of the Atlanta Empire stationed nearby, why did Admiral Maori send a fleet of servants to the navy here? Could it be that the 3 fleets of our empire have already begun to invade the Atlanta Empire? ”

……………

When the crew began to talk about their thoughts, Sun Lin had already called the captain of the Royal Victory to his side: "Captain, can the city-guarding giant crossbow on the bow of the Victory hit the giant whale warship that is about to sink." ”

"I'll see." The Royal Victory respectfully took the telescope handed to him by Sun Lin, measured it with it, and then handed it back to Sun Lin and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to sink it with one blow, I'm afraid it's impossible, because although this giant whale battleship has been ignited, its wooden hull has become extremely fragile, but the lower part of the hull is too large, and the damage caused by the city-defending giant crossbow on it is not at the fatal point, and the city-defending giant crossbow has little chance of penetrating its keel with one blow, but if you just want to make a hole in it, your crown, you can still do it." ”

"Then make a hole in it and let the crew of the Thousand Fire Ship know that we are here, and give a signal for the Thousand Fire Ship to come............ Oh yes! When you go down, you let the whole fleet prepare for battle, and I have a hunch that we may have to go to war next. ”

Then, when the giant crossbow on the bow of the Royal Victory fired a powerful giant javelin, and after a hole was opened on the right side of the hull of the giant whale battleship, the thousand fire ship really found the figure of the Royal Victory, and received the signal sent by the crew of the Royal Victory with the principle of mirror reflection, the only thing that went against Sun Lin's expectations was that the thousand fire ships heading for the Royal Victory were not just 1, but 3, of course, Sun Lin did not say anything about this situation, On the contrary, he also happily decided to meet the captain of the three ships of a thousand fires.

"Your Majesty." After seeing this legendary Lord of the Sun, the three Xiyi people who had just climbed up from the rope immediately stepped forward to salute and said to Sun Lin respectfully: "The sun never sets on the 1st fleet of Xiyi, and the three captains of the 13th Thousand Fireship Squad hereby greet the great Lord of the Sun. ”

"Get up, you are the pride of the sun, excellent warriors of Xiyi, so now can any of you tell me why you and your warships and the giant whale warships of the Atlanta Empire will appear near Stormwind Island, is it possible that our sea battle line has advanced here?"

"No, Your Majesty." One of the captains of Xiyi stood up and said: "We and the whale warship are here because at the beginning of the battle, this whale warship from the main fleet of the Atlanta Empire's 3rd Fleet fled the course due to the storm in the afternoon, and our 3 thousand fireships were ordered to pursue this whale warship, so we appeared here, and now our 3 warships have deviated far from the warship." ”

"Wait, what did you just say? Battlefield? Sun Lin Sun Lin said with a puzzled expression: "The sun never sets and the battle of Atlanta is actually near Storm Island?" What's going on? The First Fleet of the Xiyi Servant Navy is fighting against the fleet of the Atlanta Empire? ”

"Your Majesty is not only the Xiyi Servant Navy, but also the West Sea Fleet." The captain of Xiyi replied: "In order to prevent our continued expansion to the eastern waters of the Thousand Islands, the Atlanta Empire sent its 3rd and 9th fleets in its country, and according to reliable information, the 3rd and 9th fleets of the Atlanta Empire will take advantage of the sea environment around Storm Island in the past few days, and use the characteristics of their ship chassis to sail in storms to raid the hinterland of the Zoran Maru Islands, so Captain Solly and Admiral Maori decided to make a move. Use Greek fire weapons and the misty seas around Stormwind Island to raid them. ”

"Taking advantage of the Greek Sea of Fire and Mist? This is indeed a good move, but how is the battle going? Sun Lin asked again.

"I don't know what to do, the Thousand Fireships Fleet was the first to launch and the first to withdraw from the battlefield to pursue the enemy's fleeing ships, when we left the battlefield, the regular troops of the West Sea Fleet and the First Fleet of the Xiyi Servant Navy had just joined the battle, and now it has been nearly 6 hours since our three Thousand Fireships left the battlefield."

"6 hours? So you're launching a raid at noon today? Sun Lin asked, and nodded secretly in his heart on this matter: "Noon is the time when the enemy least believes that our side will launch a surprise battle, and it is raining heavily at that time, as long as the wind direction is used reasonably during the battle, and nothing happens on the battlefield, victory is indeed ours." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I see, then you guys are ready to lead the way for the Royal Fleet." Sun Lin said excitedly: "I haven't commanded a naval battle for several months, and now I can finally move my head to prevent it from rusting." ”
