Compared with the seemingly better situation in the battle area of the Xiyi warship, it is located in the battle area between the main force of the Sunset Fleet and the main force of the Griffin Empire, that is, the area where the foreign Sea Clan Legion soldiers and several king squid on the Sunset side were raided before, and the situation in this area is not as easy as the Sunset Party imagined.

Although at the beginning of the battle, the battleships on the side of the Griffin Empire were raided by the Sea Clan troops on which the sun never sets, not only lost a part of the Ace support ships, but also in the subsequent process, because of the entry of the sharp knife battleship, the withdrawal of the Naga warriors and the rescue of the warships on both sides, these were supposed to become the special battleships of the Griffin Great Empire in the west and heavy warship killers of the Sunset Empire. After being trapped in the center of the combat area, it completely lost the combat capabilities that the Sharp Knife Battleship should have (after all, the Sharp Knife Battleship only retains those abilities except for its ramming ability, which makes all warships feel terrified, if it only retains those remaining abilities, sorry for the unimaginable forward speed of the Sharp Knife Battleship in a straight line, it is just a piece of fat in the eyes of all warships). ), become the fish on the board.

However, it turns out that when artillery meets mechanical crossbow and broadside warfare, the ultimate weaker side between the two will be artillery rather than mechanical crossbow and broadside warfare: after all, the sun never sets has not yet been developed to shoot cannonballs at close range - grapeshot shells, and chain ball bombs are of little use except for destroying the movement ability of enemy warships, after all, the lethality of chain ball bullets is not as strong as the impact of solid iron bullets, and the power of solid shells is terrifying. But this kind of power is only for the body structure of the enemy warship, as long as the enemy warship has not many sailors or combat soldiers, then the artillery will continue to fire, especially the first gun, which often has a floating trajectory, even when the two warships are in close proximity. Sailors who want to hit the enemy ships rely on the luck of those who fire, and if they are lucky, they can tear the body of an unlucky ghost with a solid iron bullet, and if they are unlucky, they will not gain much at all except to knock some wood chips out of the ship's hungry body.

On the other hand, the semi-mechanized ballista on the side of the Griffin Empire, although this naval combat equipment is inferior to the artillery of the Emperor of the Sun in terms of penetration, and it is also inferior to the artillery of the Sun that never sets in terms of range, although the accuracy is remarkable, but after all, it is not as luxurious as the original Sunset Naval Battle Scorpion Crossbow, whether it is secured on both sides of the hull or located in the battleship warehouse as a backup, it is equipped with the most complete precision instruments.

But the problem is that the griffon empire's semi-mechanized ballista has a capability that is currently unmatched by the war equipment of the king continent: an extremely terrifying and fast reload speed. Perhaps many would think. Shouldn't the combo crossbow of the Eastern Continent have the upper hand in terms of reload speed? After all, that kind of repeating crossbow can fire dozens or even nearly a hundred armor-piercing javelins in an instant, but the algorithm of reloading speed is not only calculated by calculating the speed of the arrows issued by the weapon in a short period of time, don't look at the continuous crossbows in the Eastern Continent can shoot dozens of armor-piercing javelins in a short period of time, but these repeating crossbows in order to obtain this kind of power that bursts out in a short period of time, but in exchange for a long reload time of nearly 5 minutes. In other words, the crossbows in the eastern continent fire about 10 to 18 armor-piercing javelins, and it takes about 5 minutes to reload.

On the other hand, the semi-mechanized ballista of the Griffin Empire. Although this ballista needs to be like a normal ballista. After firing the armor-piercing javelin, it takes a certain amount of time for the soldier to reload the crossbow trough before the ballista can re-fire the armor-piercing javelin, but the reload time of the semi-mechanized ballista is less than one-third of the time it takes for a normal ballista, and if you calculate according to this reload speed, then the cyborg ballista from the Griffon Empire will take less than 5 minutes. In fact, it is completely capable of throwing nearly 30 armor-piercing javelins, and according to this reload and firing speed, in fact, the reload speed of this semi-mechanized ballista from the Griffin Empire is the fastest reload speed among the combat equipment in the King Continent.

Perhaps the Sunset Battleship has a double-armor design. It can make the defensive ability of the battleship be improved by more than one grade, but the problem is that the design of the double-layer armor will greatly increase the weight of the battleship itself, thereby slowing down the movement speed of various types of warships, so under normal circumstances, except for the heavy battleships of the Great Empire where the sun never sets or those that have been improved, the rest of the ordinary versions of the Canadian battleships do not have a double-layer armor design at all, and the Galie battleships without a double-layer armor design no longer have the same defensive power as the heavy battleships on which the sun never sets. It has a strong defense that can withstand the piercing attack of the armor-piercing javelin.

So when many Galie warships and the snooker warships of the Griffin Empire began to fight, perhaps at the moment of engagement, the terrifying artillery lethality of the Galie warships on the side of the Great Empire could destroy some of the snooker warships in an instant, but then, when the guns of the Galie warships began to load, these snooker warships would use this time to start using semi-mechanized ballistas to counterattack, and the shrewdness of the sailors on these snooker ships was not as simple as the sailors on the sun never set imagined, In the last few encounters, they have learned that the impotence-like reloading time of the Sunset Battleship after firing can make those seemingly terrifying Sunset Battleships become more brittle, so almost when these battleships belonging to the Sunset Fleet poured a round of solid iron bullets towards the enemy, the Griffin Battleships of the Great Griffon Empire rushed directly to engage the Sunset Battleship like madmen.

Although the naval combat ability of the sailors who never set the sun is also strong, after all, these sailors who do not set the sun do not belong to the kind of almost demonic existence in naval battles like the guns that never set.

Therefore, the longer the battle continued, the long-range strike capability of the Xiyi Fleet, which did not set on the day, was temporarily lost, and all the combat warships of the Second Fleet were still in a confrontation with the fleet sent by the Griffon Empire at a distance from the main fleet of the Sunset, and the nominal main force of the Sunset Empire was already in a predicament.
