Chapter 144: Naval Battle
No matter what the Molten Lord feels at this time, the top priority is to break through the blockade and get out of the battle area as soon as possible.
As long as you can escape.
The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps.
But if it is kept in the port, it is doomed to a dead end.
All he could do now was order a breakout.
Although, it will be difficult and difficult.
"God willing!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the Twilight fleet was encircling it, the Mizhou fleet pulled anchor and set sail as fast as possible, rushing towards the open sea.
The Twilight Fleet obviously also knows that if the other party rushes out of the encirclement, even if it pursues all the way, the gain will not be as big as the siege.
So, while trying to escape, I want to encircle.
That's it.
After the ships of both sides entered the firing range of each other.
A naval battle broke out.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The Twilight Fleet waited for work, taking the lead in occupying the T-position, and all the rune cannons on one side of the ship continued to fire in turn.
In the direction they were aiming at, it was the other side that rushed to the front.
"Woohoo Blah-"
When the first few projectiles were about to smash into it, a huge thick light shield suddenly lit up on the opponent's battleship, protecting the hull of the ship.
Constant banging.
The mask rippled violently, and it seemed to be shattering at any moment.
On deck.
Several mages were surging against the blood, and their bodies shook a few times.
It's their joint defense.
But apparently, in the face of the constant attack of projectiles, they are becoming more and more powerless.
"Quick, full rudder, full rudder, break to the right!"
The captain roared and ordered.
You want to get out of the opponent's range.
This kind of passive beating situation is simply too uncomfortable.
But at the same time, the opponent's rune cannon continued to bombard.
"Boom, boom—"
"Click-"
With a shattering sound, several mages could no longer hold on, a mouthful of blood spurted out, their faces were as pale as paper, and they completely withered.
Next, the opponent's rune cannon will face a battleship without defense.
"Boom!"
The first projectile hit the mast directly.
"Click-"
The entire sail was directly swept into pieces of wood chips and strips of cloth, and it was scattered everywhere, and several sailors who were close to it were also swept out by the shock wave, and blood was spilled all the way, and it seemed that they would not survive.
"Damn!" the captain looked frantic with red eyes and a frantic face, "Fight back!
Seeing that he couldn't escape, he directly ordered the ship to move sideways and aim the gun at the twilight fleet.
Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to fight to the death.
A doomed naval battle unfolded in this sea area.
Rune cannon bombardment.
The battleship was constantly moving in order to occupy a favorable firing position.
The more than 30 warships of the Twilight Fleet occupied a favorable position at the beginning and waited for work.
More than 20 warships of the Mizhou fleet were in a disadvantageous position from the beginning and wanted to break through.
With the roar of the rune cannons, one battleship after another was hit, the fire continued to shine, and the debris continued to fly.
The cannon roared, the blood, the debris, the screams......
The whole sea is a tragic scene.
The naval battle lasted a full five hours.
When the last cannon was over, there were almost no intact battleships on the entire sea.
On the Twilight Alliance's side, eleven battleships were lost, and the rest were wounded, and the superstructures of several of them were completely swept away.
On the side of the Mizhou Alliance, except for three warships that were lucky enough to break through the blockade and escape from the battlefield, all the rest sank to the bottom of the sea.
None of them were captured.
It's not that there is no surrender, but because, the Twilight Alliance does not accept surrender.
All those who did not flee were sunk.
The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, countless sawdust floated on the sea, and the resources of the original shipload also sank to the bottom of the sea.
Wait until the news of this battle spreads.
The whole light blue sea area was a sensation.
"The gods are above!"
"The devil has finally been defeated!"
"The evil Mizhou Alliance should all go to hell!"
"Praise the Great Twilight Alliance, and praise the Great Twilight Lord Auston!"
It was as if the haze that had been hanging over the head had been partially removed and a ray of hope was projected.
Hundreds of town-level territories and millions of people are all running to tell each other.
Joy appeared on everyone's face.
The devil can also be defeated.
This period of time is too depressing for them.
Any small victory is enough to cheer everyone up, not to mention that it is now a direct annihilation of a detachment of the Mizhou Alliance.
Reputedly.
When Twilight Lord Auston learns of this, he once again places many precious vases in the Lord's Mansion and personally inserts rare flowers.
In addition, he also ordered the United Fleet to make persistent efforts to hunt down the Mizhou Fleet and wipe them out in the entire light blue sea.
This is obviously not good news for the Union of Rice Islands.
Because in a situation where intelligence, troops, and mass base are all inferior, unless they stop plundering, there will not be only one such failure.
When the news came back to the Mizhou Alliance.
The Mizhou Alliance is shaken!
"Damn it!"
Harris, who had just returned to Earth to report on his duties, had a gloomy face, and he learned from his assistant that the fleet had been ambushed and nearly wiped out, "Our fleet never loves to fight, why is it surrounded in the harbor? Where is the Molten Lord? Is he a fool?"
No matter how angry he was, it had happened.
He had to devise a strategy as soon as possible to avoid a similar situation from happening again.
At this time, the upper echelons of the Mizhou Alliance, in recent times, have been receiving bad news one after another.
Because.
Except for the dilemma of the light blue seas, in the other marginal seas, the raiding operations have not been smooth.
Except for a few sea areas, where the indigenous forces are weaker and the fleet of the Mizhou Alliance can basically run rampant, in other sea areas, they are facing almost the same dilemma.
Even, in some of the more powerful areas of the indigenous forces, their fleets have been forced to stop their operations and retreat to the side of the Storm Sea, far away from the dense territorial areas.
Caught in a dilemma.
If you continue to act, you will be in danger of being besieged again, and if you give up looting, you can only develop step by step, spend a lot of time looking for unowned resource islands, and work hard to farm.
This is clearly unacceptable for the ambitious Mizhou Alliance.
......
Not to mention how the upper echelons of the Mizhou Alliance made decisions to deal with this large-scale predicament, Lin Xiao at this time was already in the study of Xianhe Villa, listening to Yárvis's routine report.
From his direct followers, he also learned information from his allies that the Mizhou Alliance was facing a difficult situation.
The difference is that he is not surprised.
All of this is just the evil result of the Mizhou Alliance's underestimation of the power of the natives of the Star Domain World.
Perhaps, it is the contempt hidden in their hearts that has caused the current situation.
Seem.
The natives of the imaginary star world who are sought by are not objects that can be plundered at will.
