The cause of historical events is the sum of all causes, the only cause, and it is only when we have completely abandoned the search for causes in our own will that we can discover these laws which we do not know, just as the laws of the planetary motion can only be discovered when people have abandoned the notion of the immobility of the earth.

- Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy (one of the most outstanding writers in the history of world literature)

Having lost the remnants of the warships of the Yumao Navy under the command of Nagumo Zhongyi, they watched as all the ships, large ships, and ships of the Ayata Navy were sunk by the enemy warships; their morale plummeted, and after knowing that the battle would be lost, they resolutely chose to raise the white flag and surrender.

If Ito Yuhiro and Honma Yuki hadn't been ordered by Nams, they wouldn't have missed this great opportunity to expand their strength, but unfortunately, Namus gave them the order to sink all the ships of the Hamo Navy!

Brent's death and the destruction of the First Squadron were far more than the loss of four double and four triple ships for Naams, for no other fleet had suffered such heavy casualties since the Roman navy was founded.

The barbarian forces, which could not even build decent warships, did not threaten the strength of the Roman city fleet at all, and even a patrol fleet composed of three warships and two double warships was enough to sweep away the river crossing fleet accumulated by the Acenian Kingdom for one or two decades.

This disproportionate balance of power had left the city of Rome's navy unwounded since its founding, and as a result, the new First Fleet's first expedition had been so badly damaged that the new officer could not be outraged?

As the commander of the First Fleet, Naams's anger needs to be appeased with the blood of the enemy, and Nagumo Nakaichi, who led the Hamo Navy to encircle and annihilate the First Fleet, is dead, but as long as the Hamo Navy and the Honma family are still around, Naams's anger will not subside!

Seeing the white flags raised one after another on the warships of his former robes, it was certainly impossible for Honma Yuki to have no waves in his heart, but Commander Namus's strict orders were still in his ears, and after hesitating for a while, Honma Yuki did not have the courage to disobey the order after all.

Honma Yuki, who did not have the courage to disobey the orders of Commander Nams, also did not have the courage to order his own warships to take the initiative to sink the warships of the Hamo Naval Army that had surrendered;

The decisive Ito Yuhiro is not the indecisive Honma Yuki, coupled with the already tense relationship between the Ito family and the Honma family, Ito Yuheng gave the order to continue the attack, and the Ito Navy began a one-sided massacre.

The soldiers of the Hamao Navy never thought that they had surrendered and the other side would continue to attack unrelentingly, and the incredible approach of the Ito Navy caused all the remaining warships of the Hamo Navy to sink in the harbor in just over ten minutes.

Looking at the struggling Hamo Navy on the sea inside the port, Yuki Honma, who couldn't bear it, gave orders to save his soldiers, and Ito, who watched coldly, gave up his expectations for his nephew while sighing and shaking his head.

After the destruction of the Hamo Navy, Nams personally commanded the warships of the First Fleet to escort the landing of the Governor's Guard, and the Honma family army, which was in charge of garrisoning the port, fled the port in panic after the Hamo Naval Army was destroyed.

Hamo Port was not a large port, and it was not even as large as the port of Mutsu before the expansion, so after all the soldiers of the Governor's Guard had landed and landed, Nams temporarily withdrew from Hamo Port with his First Fleet, and the United Fleet under the command of Ito Yuhiro was newly established by Nams.

The Ito Navy, the Ito Navy, and the Honma Fleet, were integrated and organized by Nams into the Yanhuang Family Combined Fleet, which was temporarily called the Sado Naval Force, and the newly established Combined Fleet was commanded by Ito Yuhiro and Honma was the deputy commander.

Ito Yuhiro and Honma Yukei, the two uncles and nephews, are nominally the chief and deputy commanders of the combined fleet, but in fact only Ito Yuhiro is the only one who really controls the power of the combined fleet; Honma Yuki, who ordered the rescue of the officers and men of the Naval Army who fell into the water, was directly deprived of the command of the fleet by Nams, and the so-called deputy commander of the combined fleet was just a superficial project used by Nams to calm people's minds.

Wendell, who had promised Hakuho that he would occupy all of Sado in the shortest possible time, led his Governor's Guard to advance wildly northward after landing, and the Honma family's large and small castles in front of the Governor's Guard were captured by the Governor's Guard in one day!

By the third day of the landing, the Governor's Guard had taken control of more than half of Hamo Prefecture, and it was only thirty or fifty miles away from the main castle of the Honma family, and by the time Wendell led his army to the main castle of the Honma family, the last of the Honma family's castle and the main castle had already been captured by Obouano, who had arrived several hours ahead of schedule.

Obuano, who was the first to capture the main castle of the Honma family, did not know about the destruction of the First Fleet, so there were no members of the Honma family who surrendered in embarrassment, but Kengo Honma, the governor of the Honma family, was killed on the spot by Obuano, who was afraid of a long night's dream.

After Wendell led the army to the main city of the Honma family, Obwano wanted to lead his elite squadron to return to the Governor's Guard, but Wendell took a fancy to Obwano's prestige in this multi-family united army and asked him to continue to command this large army.

Wendell did not take matters into his own hands to deal with the old and weak women and children of the Honma family, but sent a team of soldiers to escort them to the port of Hamo to be dealt with by Commander Nams, and his mission with Obuwano was to capture Kamo and Wakita counties north of Hamo as soon as possible.

In order to increase the speed of his army's capture of Sado Island, Wendell decided to personally lead the Governor's Guard to attack the relatively powerful Kamo County, and let Obwano lead his army to attack the overall weak and scattered Childa County.

Four days later, Wendell's Governor's Guard captured the entire territory of Kamo County, and the leaders of the Kamo Navy, who had lost their own family city, surrendered to Wendell on land, and later surrendered all their ships to the First Fleet.

Six days later, Obuvano absorbed a large army of the Honma clan army and captured the entire territory of Wakita, and the leaders of the Wakita naval army, who had lost their own family castle, surrendered to Obuvano on land, and then surrendered all their ships to the First Fleet.

The three counties of Sado Island, where the banner of the Yanhuang family was planted, were stationed by Wendell with the soldiers of the Governor's Guard, and the mixed army under the command of Obwano withdrew to the port of Hashima along with the main force of the Governor's Guard, where they waited for Bai Feng's order to dispose of the mixed army.

The warships handed over by the Kamo Navy and the Shita Navy were all assigned to Ito Yuhiro's Combined Fleet by Namus, who looked down on warships such as Kozao, Sekibune, and Ataka, and so on, and in this way, the Combined Fleet had five Ataka warships, eight large Sekibunes, nineteen Sekibunes, and seventy-four Kozao, bringing the total number of warships to an astonishing one hundred and six!
