"Ready .......... launch!"

.........Under the salvo of 12 guns, 11 terrifying holes appeared in the hull of the Bona Alliance Burke battleship on the left side of the hull of a standard-class Hawk battleship that never sets, and 11 terrifying holes appeared in its hull at the moment when the gun roared. In addition, the mainsail of the battleship Burke, which was not aimed at but was hit by a character problem or for some reason, slowly fell from the sky with a squeaky moan after being smashed by two-thirds of its body in the root area with a solid bullet.

"Report to the captain, the enemy Burke battleship has lost the ability to move, do you want to continue the attack, or are you ready to engage in broadside combat?" Just as the captain of the ship, who had sunk the Burke, lowered his monoculars, the first mate behind the captain who was controlling the ship had a problem, and just then, the sailor who was on the main sail lookout of the Hawk shouted at the captain, "Captain, the guns of the Silver Pegasus seem to be loaded!" And there are 3 clippers on the Bona Alliance's side, and it seems that they are going to forcibly board the Silver Pegasus! ”

"Turn the ship's bow! The Silver Pegasus is the fleet's secondary flagship! It's important to rescue the Silver Pegasus! "Since the Silver Pegasus was less than 300 meters away from his own battleship, and the three ships heading for the Silver Pegasus were also within the range of his own battleship, plus the Silver Pegasus itself, so soon, the right side of the Hawker standard-class battleship completed its rotation and aimed at one of the three Bona Alliance clippers.

"Launch!" The roar of artillery sounded louder than before, and at the same time, the captain also found that there were several other Bona battleships fighting around the Silver Pegasus as well as himself, and under the firepower network composed of several Hawk standard-class battleships, the Bona battleship that was originally moving forward was forced to slow down.

And right now. The Silver Pegasus, which had been in a state of loading ammunition before, also turned its target to the three Bona Alliance clippers, and under the watchful eyes of the soldiers on which the sun never sets, more than 100 solid shells were tilted towards the three Bona Alliance generals who were behind in Lana.

"Won." Putting down the telescope in his hand, Sun Lin, who was located on the coast, breathed a sigh of relief and said, although the sound of artillery on the sea continued to roar this time, but at present, all the warships of the Bona Alliance either began to be silent, or lost their ability to move under the rotation of the artillery, judging from the situation on the ocean battlefield, Sun Lin can already conclude that the fleet of the Bona Alliance is estimated to be not long. The 4th Fleet of the Inland Sea Expeditionary Fleet, the king of the Central Continent, which never sets, was declared destroyed by it.

"Sure enough, although the power of the artillery is stronger than the naval scorpion crossbow, the accuracy of the early artillery is too poor, and the original 10 shots of the naval battle scorpion crossbow are replaced with early artillery, and the good work can only be done 10 rounds and 8 hits." While watching the ocean battlefield in the distance. Sun Lin complained: "But fortunately, artillery can deter enemy sailors, and it can have a certain effect of frightening enemy warships when it begins to be put into the ocean battlefield." If the pace of research and development of the Quartermaster Department is faster. It is estimated that before the additional effects of this initial investment are gone, the No. 2 gun will be able to be put into the battlefield. ”

Speaking of the No. 2 artillery, this kind of long-barreled cannon is collectively called by the research and development scholars of the sunset can be said to be the second most difficult type of artillery to develop among the five types of artillery, as for the first one, of course, the early siege artillery that the sun does not set is now popularized in the army, and the third is the No. 5 artillery - howitzer. As for No. 3 and No. 4, to be honest, the cannon was just an improved version of the No. 2 gun. The 6-pounder gun, which was used exclusively against cavalry in the early days, was just a smaller barrel of the cannon.

The difficulty of the No. 5 gun was to change the trajectory of the cannonballs fired from the cannon from straight to parabolic, but the difficulty of the No. 2 gun was to change the bulky size of the early siege guns into a volume that could be dragged by several horses after putting on the gun carriage. But in fact it was extremely difficult, and it was not easy to overturn the idea in the minds of the artillery craftsmen that the power of a cannon depended on the size of the barrel.

"It's only about 1 year before the general election of the Great Empire of Divine Light." Sun Lin muttered, "Before that guy becomes the Pope of the Holy Empire again, he must raise the model of the cannon to No. 3, otherwise he will suffer a lot against the Holy Light Empire and their allies............."

Just as Sun Lin was talking to himself, the sun never set, with a battle uniform and some blood stains on his armor, the prince of Kuman, Uda, strode up to Sun Lin and said: "Your Majesty, the letter of surrender submitted to us by the councillors of Gothic City after the defeat of the fleet of the Bona Alliance, are we starting to attack the city or ............ now?"

"As was the case before, let the Griffin Knights prepare for action while sending troops in." Sun Lin pondered for a moment before replying: "If necessary, we should preserve these coastal cities as much as possible, after all, these coastal cities will be the first front to resist the million-strong army of the enemy in the middle of the Central Continent in the future, and the stronger this front is, the greater our hope of victory in the future............ By the way, Uda Ada, counting the coastal cities that were captured by our Sunset Army in the past few weeks, plus the coastal cities of the Bona Alliance that were captured by our King's Inland Sea Expeditionary Force before, have all the coastal lines of the Bona Alliance now fallen into the hands of our Sunset Empire? ”

"If you count the Gothic city in front of you, the 13 coastal fortresses and cities owned by the Bona Alliance have all fallen into the hands of our army that never sets." "In addition, nearly 40% of the inland territory of the Bona Alliance has been captured with the cooperation of the hussars of our Cuman tribe and our griffin knights......... Your Majesty, there's actually one thing I've always wanted to ask you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I think the speed of our attack seems to be a little too fast, isn't it ............?"

"Are you saying that we should slow down our attacks? No, Wuda, not only can we not slow down now, but we must also speed up the attack, and strive to pacify the entire Western Regions of the Central Continent before September comes, I know that you must be very confused, but I can't explain too much about the reason, you just need to remember one thing. ”

"One thing?"

"Yes, you just need to remember that in the future, perhaps only within one year from now, there will be the largest war on this coastline in the King Continent for a hundred years, or even thousands of years, and the protagonist of one of them is the military alliance established by our Great Empire."
