Chapter 372: The Asymmetrical War of the Twin Seas

"Sir, an unknown ship has been spotted ahead, located on the starboard side, 20,000 meters away..."

The observer of the battleship "Xingchen Ling", which was the flagship of the fleet, saw the sails slowly appearing on the sea level in the distance in the telescope in his hand, so he immediately reported the situation to the command tower.

In addition to the flagship of the Star, the other seven of the eight first-class warships of the entire fleet were named "Amazon Queen", "Necromancer", "Barbarian", "Mage", "Natural Druid", "Paladin" and "Assassin".

Although Chen Chen was a little surprised by this naming method, he did not have any objections, after all, this profession is still the pillar of this world, although the cultivators under Chen Chen's command have sprung up, but they are still very rare in terms of the number of people, and Chen Chen is very strict with the disciples who go down the mountain to practice, which also leads to the fact that although the Star Hall is strong, the number of births is scarce, and the influence is not outstanding at all except for Chen Chen himself, but the flagship of the fleet is named " "Xingchen" can also be regarded as a kind of respect for Chen Chen.

The other twenty second-class battleships were named even more simply, under the names of "Rog Fortress", "Kurast", "Rugoin" and "Harogas", and the five battleships were divided into a detachment of 1 to 5, and the first ship was all used as the flagship of the detachment, and those frigates were assigned to a detachment.

With the determination of the captain of the ship and the commander of the detachment, the question of the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the fleet was put in front of Chen Chen, although Chen Chen was unwilling to meddle in this matter, but the high-level of the federation hoped that Chen Chen could decide on the appointment.

Chen Chen had no choice but to let Sofina and Lu Xuena take the information of all the graduates of the Naval Academy, Chen Chen knew that this matter was very important, after all, "losing an order, and the army will be broken and killed" can not be careless, Chen Chen does not want the fleet he worked so hard to build was put in the hands of a waste and all lost, of course, this is another reason why Doria and others did not make a decision on the appointment of the commander-in-chief of the fleet.

Among the many students, Chen Chen found a student named Nelson, this Nelson was born on a ship, it is strange that Nelson's mother is actually an eighty-level assassin, and his father is indeed an ordinary sailor, such a disparity in identity has created another tragedy, after Nelson was born, a complete family was forcibly dismantled, and after that, Nelson and his father were not disposed of, but were driven out of Curast, and then Nelson's mother disappeared, After Chen Chen saw the investigation of this student, he felt that Nelson's mother must have made some deal with the forces to which he belonged in order to keep the father and son, but these were not Chen Chen's concerns.

What Chen Chen cares about is that this student named Nelson has lived at sea since he was a child, and has experienced all kinds of hardships at sea, and knows all kinds of situations at sea, although Nelson's grades are not the best when he graduates, but he can't get out of the top five, and what Chen Chen values most is Nelson's overall view, and his keen sense of the battle situation, among the several confrontations organized by the academy, only one was lost because of the problems of his teammates, and the other several games were won by Nelson under the command of Nelson. However, as an instructor at the academy, Masif and others praised Nelson.

Nelson was very grateful to Chen Chen after being promoted to the position of fleet commander in one step, but as an ordinary senior federal officer, it was not enough to meet Chen Chen, the head of the top power organization of the Huls Federation, at any time, but Chen Chen asked Ray to bring Nelson a sentence "The matter of coastal defense is very important, be cautious and cautious...", but Chen Chen's reminder made Nelson a golden rule, and at the beginning of his tenure, he set strict discipline and made every effort to build the fleet into a solid defense force of the Federation.

At the same time, Nelson also put forward strict training requirements for his subordinate fleets, and in a short period of time, the Federation fleet formed combat effectiveness, and also had a certain ability to attack in the ocean.

Today is the first time that the Federation Fleet has left the offshore sea and sailed to the open sea, crossing the Twin Seas from the military port of Rugauin to the home port of the newly built Federation Fleet in Kurast, although the military port in Rogoin is the place where the fleet departs, but where it is only an anchorage for the fleet, and the environment of Kurast is more suitable to become the home port of the fleet, in terms of geographical location, Kurast can better defend the coastline of the Federation.

Nelson, as the commander of the fleet, knew that the entire Federation had a maritime threat from the north, so this time the route to the home port deliberately let the fleet sail in the northern waters of the Twin Seas, but now it seems that Nelson's luck is really good, and some blind guys took the initiative to send it to the door.

"Sir, the fleets are waiting for the next order," the communications officer in the command tower shouted at Nelson.

"Looks like you're in high spirits," Nelson paused slightly, then shouted loudly, "Communications officer, record orders..."

"Yes, sir..."

"Order 'Rog Fortress', 'Rougoin' and their combat units to detour from the left, and 'Kurast', 'Harogas' and their combat units to detour from the right..."

"Order the 'Amazon Queen', the 'Necromancer', the 'Barbarian', the 'Mage', the 'Natural Druid', the 'Paladin', and the 'Assassin' to follow the fleet's flagship 'Star' to face the enemy head-on..."

"Yes, sir..."

Moments later, Nelson's first battle order as fleet commander was quickly communicated, and then the detachments quickly broke away and quickly outflanked the rear of the enemy fleet from both sides.

"Gunslinger .." Nelson yelled.

"Yes, sir," an officer in the command tower immediately responded.

Nelson looked at the sails looming in the distance and exclaimed, "Tell the other captains that the fleet's first battle is going to be strong..."

"Sir, are we going to hit them hard?" The gunnery asked.

Nelson put down the telescope in his hand and said with a hideous face, "No, we are going to annihilate them all..."

"Understood, sir," the gunner, seeing the look on his own's face, the gunner's blood immediately became enthusiastic and he yelled.

A few moments later, Nelson's order spread throughout the fleet, and the commander of each ship received a clear order, that is, "We will destroy all enemy ships."

"Order the ships, accelerate their advance, and reach the designated position before the exchange of fire between the enemy ships of the main fleet..."

The commanders of each detachment invariably issued the same order, but they knew that the firepower on each capital ship was equipped, and in the face of such a wooden sail battleship, an ordinary naval cannon shell would be given a devastating blow, not to mention those magic shells that were added, if their fleet did not reach the designated position at the beginning of the war, it would not be able to get meat to eat, but would let some frightened guys run away, and the imperfect first battle would be a shame for the officers and soldiers of the entire fleet.

On the other hand, the fools from Kegistan did not realize that they were in danger, and at this time, the sailors on each ship, except for a few who had to be on duty, were all holding bottles in their cabins, and they were bragging and drinking in groups.

"What's that?" A sailor on duty on a ship on the edge of the fleet found the Harogas detachment from a distance trying to outflank the rear of the entire fleet, but the silver paint of the entire detachment made the sailor feel dazzled, but in the face of such a situation, the sailor did not report to his captain or first mate and others, after all, these guys are ruthless, and the sailor should not touch the head when he is fooling around below, otherwise he may be thrown directly from the ship.

In fact, the outflanked detachment was not only discovered by this ship, but the silver paint blinded the eyes of all the sailors who found them, thinking that they had seen something wrong than not reporting it to the commander of their ship, and finally lost all their chances of escaping.

"Sir, fifteen thousand meters, it's almost in range," the gunner shouted at Nelson as he looked at the magic panel in front of him.

Of course, this fifteen thousand meters is not the range of live ammunition, but the range of the improved magic projectile, and the accuracy of the magic cannonball has also been greatly increased.

Nelson picked up the binoculars at hand, stood by the porthole of the command tower and looked at the enemy fleet looming in the distance, and asked, "Has the enemy formed a tactical formation?" ”

"There's no sir, it looks like the enemy hasn't discovered us yet," said the intelligence officer in the command tower, who was in charge of intelligence gathering.

Nelson heard the intelligence officer's words, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It seems that our opponents are quite arrogant, but they did not expect that the shape of the war has completely changed. ”

"Yes, sir, His Highness Chen Chen has put us completely ahead of this world," the captain of the Star said, standing beside Nelson, with a smile.

"That's right, no one can invade the sea frontier we guard," Nelson said, turning back and saying loudly, "Left full rudder, pull the battle alarm..."

"Yes, the left full rudder..."

"Pull the battle alert ..."

"Woo woo..." A piercing sound sounded in the battleships, and the first large-scale naval battle in history was about to break out...
