"Fire!" In the roar, the 20 Galie warships patrolling the defense line of the Lasman Islands Sea area poured their dark shells at the three Beagle warships that came to reconnoiter on the opposite side.

Although the Beagle battleship does not have a so-called gunpowder warehouse, so there is no need to be careful that the warehouse inside the battleship will explode directly after being penetrated, turning the battleship into pieces, but due to the extremely terrifying penetration power of the artillery, the most important thing is that the protection ability of the medieval battleship is not as good as that of the battleship in the late Renaissance and even the Great Exploration Period, so these dark iron cannonballs can not only penetrate the outer and inner layers of the battleship, but even the keel of the battleship will be shattered after being hit by the iron cannonballs.

So soon, these Beagle warships raised the white flag of surrender, and at the same time, these 3 Beagle warships also sank into the sea at a relatively fast speed, and although the 20 Galie warships sent 5 Galie warships to rush over, but these Galie warships did not have great mercy to help the sailors of the Holy Light Empire who had abandoned the Beagle warships and jumped into the water one after another, and the mission of these Galie warships was only to sink the 3 Beagle warships. Wrap up all the areas where the sailors of the Holy Empire of Light fell into the water, and then use the slender and dark Greek fire jet device to spray Greek fire into all the surface areas of the sea, including the sailors of the Great Empire of Divine Light, and follow the course sailed by the 17 gallie warships that left ahead of schedule, leaving this combat zone, leaving behind the remains of 3 blazing Beagle warships, and many corpses whose upper bodies were burned and whose lower half of their lives showed signs of edema. Make it a sight to behold in the early morning in the coastal areas around the Rathman Islands. It wasn't until the fog receded in the early morning that it was discovered by the Divine Light Empire, and began to be disposed of.

"This is already the 7th of our reconnaissance fleet to be attacked." Looking at the mess on the battlefield on the sea, under the escort of nearly 100 warships in the surrounding seas, Sivano, who came to the center of the battlefield by small boat from the Holy Light ship, after watching the surrounding sailors struggling to salvage the corpses of their own comrades-in-arms around them, and the nearby battlefield full of driftwood fragments and fine snowflakes falling in the sky, muttered in a helpless, but more powerless tone: "I really don't know how the battleship of the sun never sets in the road has continuously discovered our reconnaissance fleet in this weather situation. ”

Sevano's weakness was not unfounded: first, in terms of ship design style, the ships of the Holy Light Empire fleet were biased towards fighting in coastal areas, while the ships of the Sunset Fleet were ocean-like ships. In this kind of battlefield where the sea is stored, its combat effectiveness is definitely much stronger than that of the coastal warships of the Holy Light Empire; Secondly, the sun does not set on military aids with compasses and wooden telescopes, while the Holy Light Empire only has early navigation positioning instruments, in this case, the fleet of the Sun does not set on the sea freely for long distances in various conditions, while the fleet of the Holy Light Empire can only be like the medieval fleet of the original world. Sailing is carried out in the Mediterranean Sea at most, and there is also a possibility of shipwrecks due to various weather conditions. At the same time, in such a situation, the sun never sets, and the battleship can launch a surprise attack in any weather. But not the Great Empire fleet of the Holy Light.

"Captain Shivano, we can't go any further now! If this continues, we will not be able to increase the reconnaissance range of our army at all, and we will only allow our fleet warships to be constantly eaten up by the fleet on which the sun never sets. Captain Shivano, you can see it now, in less than 2 weeks, we have been killed by the Sunset Fleet of nearly 40 Beagle warships, and even a fleet of 12 Beagle warships near Vadano Island is under our noses. It was directly wiped out by a heavy Hawkgar fleet with the sun never set, and the most important thing is that all the warships of this sunset fleet actually escaped after the last day! ”

"But the question is, what if we don't?" For the captain of the Holy Light Ship who complained to him, Shivano could only smile and shake his head in the end and said: "The Sunset Fleet itself is an advantage that our fleet cannot defeat in terms of maneuverability, and judging from what has happened in the last week or so. Not only do the Sunset Fleet know this area well, but they also have more advanced navigation instruments than us, which can allow warships to distinguish the direction of navigation in the vast fog and heavy snow, what if we do not further expand the reconnaissance range of our fleet now, and then our main fleet stationed around Vadano Island is raided by the Sunset Fleet? At that time, we will not have the ability to transport our land forces to the Western Regions of the Central Continent. ”

“……… You're right, Captain Captain, it's me who sees it too narrowly. After a moment of silence, the captain of the Holy Light Ship said to Shivano, "Then we can really only let the Sunset Fleet be so arrogant now?" Can't you organize an effective counterattack? You must know that the main fleet of the two fleets on the side of the road where the sun never sets is stationed in the area of the Rasman Islands and the Enoch Islands, even if our navy cannot rely on these two islands, can't the angel legions of our Holy Light Empire? ”

"If I could, of course I would like to use the 100,000-strong Angel Legion, after all, the air combat force will not be affected by the weather in most cases, but the problem is not to talk about me now, even Commander-in-Chief Bruno does not have the right to mobilize it, and even if there is our Divine Light Empire, it will definitely not be able to mobilize it to fight for us." Shivano said with a wry smile again: "I don't know what crazy the high-level of the Holy Light Sect of the Dao Dao is, and actually sent that winged army to the Maginot defense line where the sun never sets, and the most important thing is that this situation was discovered by the members of the Angel Clan when the sun never sets, which made the relationship between our Holy Light Empire and the Angel Clan completely broken, and now the entire Angel Legion has announced a total strike and returned to Cloud City." ”

"How so?" The captain of the Holy Light Ship said with an ugly face: "This is obviously to put all five of our fleets to death!" Without the members of the Angel Clan scouting the situation under the sea from the air for our army, we would not be a group of blind men besieged near the island of Vadano and slaughtered by a fleet sent by the sun that never sets. ”

"So in such a situation, the loss of some warships is better than the loss of all fleets." Sivano said secretly in his heart, but he didn't say this sentence, one of the reasons why he did this was because this decision was jointly discussed by all the captains of the Divine Light Great Empire, that is to say, among the people who decided to use the decision to sacrifice some of their own people in exchange for the survival of most of the warships, including Sivano himself, and secondly, although this method is the most effective method at present, it is also an unacceptable method for ordinary soldiers, If the practice of several captains of the Holy Light Empire in exchange for the lives of some of their own soldiers in exchange for the vast majority of the warships and soldiers to survive before the end of winter spreads, then the morale of the Divine Light Empire's fleet will not just drop by a star and a half.

"Anyway, why did we choose to attack in the winter?" After finding Shivano silent, the captain of the Holy Light asked his own question.

"It's not because of the brains of the Holy Light Sect's higher-ups." Shivano said: "In the opinion of these guys, if they want to destroy the morale of the sunset, the best way is to attack on the most sacred festival of the year in the empire on which the sun never sets, Christmas, but these guys didn't think that the two months after Christmas are the coldest time of the year, this kind of ghost weather may not be anything for the sun never sets, after all, they are the force from the cold northwest continent, But this kind of ghost weather can make all the soldiers of our Divine Light Empire freeze sores. ”

"In the final analysis, all the difficulties we are facing now are caused by our own internal leadership." The captain of the Holy Light Ship said helplessly: "I really don't know how much the IQ in these guys' heads has been lost by a pope election in the Dao (the high-level and the people in the Holy Light City all know that the Pope Selection of the Holy Light Empire is in early October, but most of the people of the Holy Light Empire know that the Pope election is in the spring, this is because the area ruled by the Holy Light Empire is very large, and the information dissemination ability it has is not very good, and it is winter after the pope election, It was a day when the snow blocked most of the roads, so news of the papal race usually spread after the snow melted in the spring. ）。 ”

"Hey, don't say anything now." Shivano finally sighed and said: "We can only hope that our comrades-in-arms on the Maginot Line in the northwest region of the Central Continent can break through the defense line of the Sunset Fleet one step ahead of us, after all, they have now occupied the Anubia Islands, and the Upper Maginot Line has reached the point where they can look out at each other. ”

"I hope so." The captain of the Holy Light Ship said, "Let's go, the snow is going to fall heavily again, let's get out of this place quickly before the blizzard comes, otherwise we may be surrounded by a whole fleet of sunsets." (To be continued......)
