Li Qing had long expected that in this world world with extraordinary power, the way of naval warfare would definitely be very different from the era of sail warships on the earth, and it would never be an ordinary naval artillery fire, but there would definitely be a spell confrontation and a master duel.

Maybe there will be some more fierce and fiery scenes than the naval battles of the early 20th century and the ironclad era on the earth.

But when the battle actually began, he realized that his guess was a little too conservative.

……

After entering the combat area, the Imperial Fleet, with the flagship Thoryu as the lead ship, and seven battleships lined up in a battle line connected from end to end, and rushed towards the Amaterasu Province Detachment Fleet.

The eight warships of Amaterasu Province, also led by the flagship "Haicheng", lined up in a single straight line, and greeted them with great momentum.

Li Qing was dressed in azure full body armor, holding a dark tower shield in his left hand and an eight-edged sledgehammer in his right hand, standing on the port side of the foredeck of the Shenglong, blocking in front of Ni Yuanyuan and Scarlett, staring directly at the flagship of Amaterasu Province in front of him, silently calculating the time when the two fleets were in contact.

Two minutes to go.

Two minutes later, two fleets lined up in a standard battle line will be in two parallel lines, staggered past each other within the range of their respective naval guns.

According to the naval warfare method of the Age of Sails on Earth, the two fleets will start shelling each other in the moment they are parallel to each other, and in the shortest possible time, more shells will be poured on each other's ships.

Therefore, Li Qing thought that the naval battle here, when the war first began, would be the same as the naval battle method in the era of earth sails, the two sides formed battle lines, staggered each other, and the naval guns fired at each other, back and forth several times, and only after entering the entanglement melee would the spell confrontation and master duel begin.

But he was wrong. At the very moment when the fleets of the two sides will make contact in two minutes, the battle has begun!

First of all, on the side of the Amaterasu Fleet, its lead flagship Kaicheng diagonally forward, a wave more than ten meters high and dozens of meters long suddenly rose. After the waves rose, they swooped down on the Imperial detachment with a loud bang.

With the speed of that wave, it only takes more than ten seconds to submerge the Shenglong where Li Qing and the others are!

Seeing the huge waves, Scarlett and Ni Yuanyuan's faces suddenly changed - with the height and speed of the waves, how could a wooden-hulled sailing ship on the Thang Long, even if it was a so-called first-class battleship, survive the big waves? I'm afraid that as soon as the waves hit, the Thang Long will be shattered!

"Don't worry."

When Scarlett and Ni Yuanyuan were frightened, Li Qing's calm voice sounded. He turned his head, without a trace of surprise on his face, smiled at the second daughter calmly, and said in a calm tone: "General Long is used to naval battles, it is impossible not to expect the other party's hand. At present, she should have been accustomed to this situation, and she should have a way to deal with it. ”

Before Li Qing's words fell, Long Linghan's countermeasures came.

I saw that on the sea in front of the Thang Long, more than a dozen graceful figures suddenly appeared. Half of those figures surfaced, not in the sea below the waist, and from the back, they were all graceful women.

They all have long dark blue hair and are dressed in tights of the same color as the sea. When they came out of the sea, the tights were unusually dry. The style of the tights looks quite like a wetsuit, but it is far less thick than the wetsuit, and it is unusually thin. Li Qing, who has excellent vision, can see their crystal and jade skin through the thin tights.

"Shark!" Li Qing sighed in amazement, his eyes penetrated the sea, and he could see clearly the parts where the graceful back was not below the surface of the water.

Below their waists, in the water, are beautiful fishtails. The curvaceous tail of the fish is covered with diamond-shaped scales that are as sparkling as jewels. Its color is dark blue, or light blue, or azure, or light black, the color is pure, beautiful and moving.

It's a group of sharks.

The dozen or so mermaids slowly swung their flexible tails, raised their bodies to the surface, unfurled their clear voices, and sang mysterious songs.

Accompanied by the beautiful singing of the sharks, the raging waves suddenly collapsed and shattered into thousands of piles of snow. Then above the sea, a big wave swelled again, but this time, the big wave was heading towards the Amaterasu Fleet!

The rushing waves were more than 20 meters high and hundreds of meters long. The layers of snow-white waves turned into huge galloping horses, raising the huge hooves of the sea condensed, stepping out with a thunderous roar, and rushing towards the fleet of Amaterasu!

"That's amazing!"

"It's so beautiful!"

Scarlett and Ni Yuanyuan looked at this magical scene with dazzle, and couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of their hearts.

The spells cast by the mermaids are indeed beautiful. The waves turned into galloping horses, tall and godlike, like heavenly horses descending to earth. However, this beautiful spell contains a terrifying killing intention. With just one photo, you can smash the flagship of Amaterasukoku!

However, Amaterasu's spells can't help the empire's fleet, and the empire's merman's spells are equally difficult to cause real losses to Amaterasu's fleet.

A strange roar like a ghost crying appeared in front of the Amaterasu Fleet. Then a huge wave rose into the sky, and above the waves, a huge monster was proudly supported!

It was a half-human, half-fish, human-tailed monster. It looks like a merman, but its body is more than 20 meters long!

Its tail is a filthy dead gray, and the skin of its upper body is gray and mottled, as if it were covered with moss. Two huge breasts, like two shriveled pockets, hang on the chest, making people unappetizing.

Its face was also extremely ugly, and the corners of its mouth were cracked to the base of its ears, revealing a mouth full of shark-like tiny fangs.

Its ears are webbed and covered with bone spurs. On the huge skull, there is also a pair of antlers. Its arms are extremely thick, its muscles and muscles are knotted, and it is extremely powerful at first sight. The bones of the hands are thick, the fingers are unusually long, and the black nails are as sharp as iron hooks, giving people a feeling of extreme danger.

After the troll rushed out of the sea with the waves, it just waved its hand and set off a large wave, roaring and crashing into the waves set off by the sharks. The two waves collided together, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering loud sound, exploding countless splashes like snow, splashing in all directions.

There was even a large splash of water, which rolled back into the Imperial fleet, fell on the flagship, and poured the faces of the people on the deck.

At the same time as the two huge waves collided, Li Qing clearly heard a huge gasp sound coming from the Shenglong. It was the sailors and sailors on the flagship who were in shock. The sharks who cast spells in front of them were also shocked, revealing a bit of panic.

So Li Qingzhi said, that giant monster is by no means a simple commodity!

Li Qing wiped the splash from his face and said to a gunner who was operating a deck gun not far away, "What kind of monster is that big guy?" ”

"That's Isohime." The gunner said with a nervous face, "Amaterasu's famous rare sea monster. The number is very scarce, but every adult Isohime has the strength of the early stage of the Pillar Country at the very least. Heads-up in the sea, invincible in the same class! ”

Speaking of this, the gunner spat indignantly and scolded: "Damn/Damn, why are you so unlucky? With just a detachment fleet, how could there be Isohime with him? Legend has it that Amaterasu has only domesticated the three-headed Ishime! How did a small detachment come out with it? ”

Hearing this gunner say this, Scarlett and Ni Yuanyuan looked at each other, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in their eyes.

"Heads-up in the sea, invincible in the same class?" Li Qing was also taken aback, and said, "The strongest in the fleet is General Long in the early stage of the Pillar Kingdom, right?" If the sea monster called Chicken/Chicken is invincible at the same level, then ......"

"Then the merman girls will be killed and injured heavily!" The gunner looked at the dozen mermaids in front of the battleship with a painful heart, and muttered, "Only these merman girls have the ability to entangle Isohime in the sea." However, after the battle with Isohime, how many of these forty or so merman girls survived...... Why is it so unlucky? ”

Li Qing, Ni Yuanyuan, and Scarlett realized that the gunner was lamenting for the sharks.

"More than forty mermaid girls?" Li Qing looked at the dozen mermaids suspiciously, "Where is the ......?"

Just when it was strange, Long Linghan's voice suddenly sounded from the command platform and spread throughout the entire fleet: "All the merman warriors and sorcerers, be sure to entangle Isohime at all costs and buy time for the decisive battle of the fleet!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Qing saw that in front of the Shenglong, next to the dozen or so mermaids, the calm sea water was like a boiling pot, churning out waves one after another, and whirlpools appeared. Immediately afterwards, in the whirlpool of waves, a merman surfaced. Li Qing counted a little, and there were more than 40 mermaids.

More than forty mermen surfaced, turned around, and looked up at the flagship.

"It's all beautiful...... Scarlett muttered.

Scarlett was right. The hundreds of mermaids were all women. Hundreds of pretty and pure faces are facing the flagship, making the flagship silent for a while.

Li Qing was also dazzled, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Why don't you have a male warrior?" ”

"Because of the merman family, there are only women." The gunner's face was full of heartache, and he sighed: "When they reach the age of childbearing, they will lose their fish tails, temporarily turn into legs, and go ashore to find the person they want." Once you find a man you like, you will spend a year with him. After that, whether you are pregnant or not, you will return to the sea. And the pregnant merman will only give birth to a daughter......"

Just as the gunner was speaking, hundreds of mermen bowed to the flagship, and their pretty and pure faces were full of awe-inspiring. Then they shouted in unison, and without hesitation, they rushed towards the huge sea monster that was dozens of times their size.

Their cries were clear and sweet, but far less murderous. None of the men on the battleship, however, laughed at them.

They watched in silence at their backs without hesitation, and some of the young sailors even silently wiped away their tears.

When the mermaids rushed towards the giant monster Isohime, Long Linghan's cold voice sounded again: "Soldiers, please fight bravely, let's use the blood of Amaterasu dwarfs to pay tribute to the merman girls!" Kill them without leaving a piece of armor behind! Kill! ”

"Kill!" The gunner not far away next to Li Qing was holding his neck and roaring violently. The sailors next to him also roared, and in the gun compartments below deck, there were also angry shouts of killing. The entire fleet, at the same time, sounded a frantic killing sound.

In the roar, the sharks collided with Isohime. At the moment of collision, Li Qing clearly saw that a beautiful mermaid was torn in half by Isohime's sharp claws. And while she was torn apart by Isohime, she also used a three-strand short fork that shot out several feet of water to hit Isohime's arm.

The high-speed flow of water left a deep mark on Ishime's thick arm like a watersaw, splattering filthy gray blood......

At the same time, the sound of artillery rang out. Soon after the mermaids entangled Isohime, the flagships of the two fleets were the first to make contact. When they staggered with each other, a platoon of artillery was fired at the same time.

The sound of cannons rang out from the bow to the stern of the ship, and in the sound of cannonballs, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the cannonballs flew sideways. On the open decks of the two warships, a terrible scream rang out at the same time, splashing broken limbs and spraying scorching blood.

Not far away, on the battlefield between the merman and Isohime, flesh and blood are flying, and the scales are like rain......
