PS: Sorry for the water points in this chapter.

"Is this the island of Vadano?" Looking at the island in front of him with black rocks as the main color, a middle-aged man named Bruno jumped off the battleship rope with the Holy Light Ship as the flagship, and after observing the surrounding naturally formed giant harbor, he frowned and muttered to himself: "The sun never sets, why should the Great Empire give up Vadano Island?" Is it because the number of warships is far smaller than the number of our Divine Light Great Empire's fleet, making it impossible to fight a war of attrition, or because the sun never sets, or because the sun never sets. ”

"Your Excellency, Captain, we have seen many signs of a presence in front of us, but there is no trace of anyone now. It is estimated that the members of the fleet who never set the sun stayed before they were evacuated. As Bruno continued to observe his surroundings, a man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a gray shirt, a war knife at his waist, and a white sailor's turban on his head was exactly the standard model of a sailor of the Holy Light Empire, and shouted to Bruno.

"Got it, Bill." Bruno replied, and asked the man dressed as a sailor of the Divine Light Empire as he moved towards the island, "By the way, what about the situation on the island and the ancient castle built on the cliff, how is the situation of your advance force scouting?" Do you see any signs of someone? ”

"Nope." Bill shook his head and replied: "Judging from the current reconnaissance, we think that our advance force has come to two conclusions about Vadano Island, the first conclusion is that Vadano Island should be a purely military island, because we have found almost no ruins of civilian buildings on this island, and secondly, Vadano Island should indeed be abandoned by the Sunset Party now, because I found that the Sunsetters have almost destroyed the castle, and the surrounding facilities are only scorched earth foundations, I think you'll see that right away, Your Excellency Captain. Because we have reached the outskirts of the site where the sun never sets. ”

Sure enough, when the two of them walked forward again for a while, they saw patches of land that should have been yellow mud color, but now it had turned into charred or even charred black, and the middle-aged captain named Bruno immediately stepped forward to briefly reconnoiter the area under Bill's gaze, and finally found a piece of iron with a layer of black ash attached to the surface, and a lot of ash and even a few pieces of completely charred wood scattered on it.

"There are indeed traces of human habitation." Bruno handed the piece of iron to Bill and said, "But it looks like the traces have been wiped out by a fire......... Well, there should be no vegetation on this island, but judging by the traces of this fire. The fire lasted for more than 2 days, and it seems that the flammable materials used to light the fire should not be ordinary goods, this should be the traces left by the Greek fire, the famous strategic resource of the great empire, which never sets, do you say ah Bill. ”

"It should be so, after all, ordinary fire oil does not have such a long-term continuous combustion power." Bill thought for a moment and nodded, "By the way, Captain." When I arrived at the ruins of the castle, it looked pretty much the same as it did in the area. And it is the case in many parts of the island. I can even say that the island of Vadano is now completely covered by this situation. ”

"Judging from the information obtained before, the previous Vadano Island only had a fleet of sub-fleet troops, if we look at the situation we have found now, plus the entire fleet of the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets has a total of 5 fleets, and the entire fleet of the Sun Never Sets fleet currently stationed near the coast of the Western Regions of the Central Continent has a total of two, then that is to say. In fact, the number of warships of the Great Empire is definitely several times more than what we planned before, so there is no need for the Great Empire to abandon Vadano Island. After a moment of contemplation, and even more information so far, Bruno immediately came to the result he had envisioned.

And on this. Bill, who was standing beside him, showed a trace of disdain: "Don't worry, Your Excellency Captain, even if the number of warships in the Sunset Fleet is several times more than what we imagined before, its number will definitely not be comparable to ours, you must know that the number of the entire fleet we sent to the Western Regions of the Central Continent can be a full 4 fleets!"

"But......" Bruno's words were not finished, when a snow-white pigeon with gold-rimmed wings landed on Bruno's body: "Golden pigeons? Who is using this level of faith, what! How is this possible! ”

As the short letter was opened, dozens of large words were written: "Help!" The 3rd and 4th detachments of the 3rd Fleet near the Western Islands of the Central Continent near Sheesman, the current fleet warships are losing more than 60% and are breaking through in the direction of Vadano Island! ”

Beagle Battleship: It has 3 sails, but the body of the ship is extremely slender, roughly 10 meters longer than the Hawker Assault Ship, and about 1 meter shorter than the width of the Hawker Assault Ship, which is the same as the Hawker Assault Ship in terms of movement speed, but not as strong as the Hawker Assault Ship in terms of firepower, because the Hawk Assault Ship is currently equipped with a total of 8 guns (because the sun never sets has introduced the streamlined shipbuilding technology of the hull in Daqin's mechanical ship, which makes the Hawk Assault Ship increase its load capacity at the same time, The speed of the Hawker assault ship increased instead of decreasing due to the shipbuilding skills of the Western Qin, and the Beagle battleship was only equipped with two heavy mechanical 3-repeater crossbows at the front and rear ends of the ship. And this crossbow is extremely capable of piercing wooden structures, but it is far less than the artillery of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets. There is no Beagle battleship is much stronger than the Hawker assault ship in terms of the ability to turn the battleship, after all, the Hawk battleship is an assault ship, and the Beagle battleship is a pure naval warfare light ship, plus the mechanical equipment on the Beagle battleship is complete, the mechanical jet hook, the powerful impact grab installed on both sides of the bow, etc., if it were not for the fact that the Hawk Assault Ship has thermal weapons, if it were not for the fact that the sun does not set sailors' individual combat ability and cooperative confrontation ability are extremely strong, the Beagle battleship is fully capable of winning the early Hawk battleship- Don't forget that most of the ships of the Great Empire are unarmed in the tail, but the Beagle has a heavy 3-shot crossbow in the tail that can easily penetrate both the Hawker and the Hawker standard battleship.

Patton Frigate: In fact, it is a thickened version of the body of the Beagle battleship, and the head and tail also have two mechanical 3-fire crossbows, but due to the relatively spacious internal facilities on both sides of the hull, or the interior facilities of the Patton frigate, the craftsmen of the Holy Light Empire also installed two heavy 3-shot crossbows on both sides of the hull of the Patton frigate. However, the Patton frigate, like the Beagle battleship, does not have similar design slots on both sides of the hull, but the Patton frigate also has the broadside combat equipment that the Beagle battleship has, this is because the Patton frigate is the same as the Beagle battleship, both are broadside battleships, as for the Patton frigate to abandon the speed required by the broadside battleship to enhance firepower, this is because the Patton frigate is a frigate, and its duty is to protect its heavy battleship from being attacked by enemy assault ships, And when necessary, step forward and use the ability to engage the side to temporarily delay the pace of the enemy's soldiers, so as to ensure that your heavy warships can escape.

Pilgrimage Battleship: With 5 sails but also inherited the characteristics of the Divine Light Empire battleship: a battleship with many sails but a small hull, the Pilgrimage Battleship removed all the weapons located in the front of the hull including the heavy 3-shot crossbow, and then installed a huge steel plate on the bow and head of the ship, so that the Pilgrimage Battleship obtained the battleship version of the Iron God Head Gong, and at the same time inherited the ability of the Holy Light Empire with strong steering ability, in addition, the two vehicles of the pilgrimage battleship were also equipped with 8 light ballistas, At the same time, the junction between the battleship guardrail and the hull was also wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, of course, its hull was still brittle to the point that the No. 1 gun and even the naval scorpion crossbow were worn again and again, and the equipment of the starting and tail was the same as that of the previous two warships.

Holy Light Ship: A battleship whose sails have reached the standard heavy armor battleship of the Holy Light Empire, with 6 sails and an incomparably bloated body, different from the design concept of the previous lightweight, standard Holy Light Empire warships, the Holy Light Ship is completely a huge bullet type, and the head is still a round heavy armor battleship, and this kind of battleship also has some characteristics of a pilgrimage ship, such as the Holy Light Ship also has an incomparably strong head, a ship's body, and a fragile hull and stern, However, due to the hull structure of the ship, two mechanical 3-repeaters were added to the stern; In addition, the biggest difference between the Holy Light Ship is that its hull is very high, and there are 4 layers of employment that can be fought when exposed to the water, while the Holy Light Empire has put up to 100 light ballistas in it, and there is also a layer hidden in the water to store the living materials consumed by the sailors and the crossbow arrows and javelins consumed in wartime.

Dinghai Battleship: Although its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Atlanta Empire's giant whale battleship, I have to admit that the Dinghai Battleship is the heaviest tonnage wooden-hulled battleship produced on the King Continent, and this kind of wooden-hulled battleship is not even comparable to the tonnage of modern warships in the original world, because in the early stage of production, this kind of battleship itself did not want to build a wooden-hulled battleship, but wanted to build a wooden-hulled maritime mobile platform. So that all the weapons of war in the Holy Light Empire, including the monster cannons, can be installed on it and manipulated. Therefore, the Dinghai Battleship is indeed not good in terms of naval combat power, but in terms of sea to land, as long as a Dinghai Battleship has enough time, it can often play a role in attacking the coastal forces.
