The sea breeze stirred the rippling waves, crashing against the angular rocks, making a roar like the sky cracking and the earth cracking, and the road markings on them seemed to be imprinted with the traces of time.

The 30-meter-long brig is like a hegemon galloping on this endless sea, cutting through the waves set off by the sea breeze with the power of the sky.

This was followed by the brig, which also played as a hegemon.

Hovering beside these two sea beasts were twelve heavy Canadian battleships.

As for the behemoth in the very center, it is an absolute legend in the history of sailing - the galleon!

Compared to Chopin's side, which had only a dozen ships combined, Wright's lineup looked much more luxurious.

Scattered and scattered warships, I am afraid that there are nearly a hundred, but most of them are plundered in the "Shengyao" kingdom, and they are all inconspicuous small ships or merchant ships, used to transport soldiers and plunder resources, but if you want to carry out any fierce naval battles, it is a bit of a fantasy, I am afraid that before the naval battle begins, these ships will be directly broken up by the turbulent waves.

Among them, there are only forty sail warships with real combat power.

Eight heavy ocean-going cruisers as the main force, twelve second-class transport warships, and twenty armed warships, this is the fleet lineup of Corderson's expedition to the "Shengyao" Kingdom this time.

If the transport warships and armed merchant ships are the most common models in the endless seas today, then the eight heavy ocean-going cruisers as the main force are truly large-scale.

Each heavy ocean-going cruiser is equipped with four state-of-the-art ballistae and eight heavy trebuchets, and in the event of any accident at sea, these heavy ocean-going cruisers will immediately turn into ruthless hunters to wipe out all enemies.

Exquisite structure, mysterious design, this is an absolute killer in the battlefield, but at this time, it is installed on this heavy ocean-going cruiser.

Sturdy bracket, extremely resilient torsion spring, and delicate firing structure...... It is these seemingly inconspicuous devices that make up this silent beast.

In the West Sea, the reason why Fordson was so famous in the past was naturally because of the 30,000 brave and warlike soldiers under his command.

And the reason why the other party's power is so strong is not without reason, in addition to having incomparably elite soldiers, with such hole cards as undead warriors, few people know that this devil who is rumored to kill at this time is rumored to be a big killer if he doesn't agree with him, and he actually attaches great importance to the change and research of technology, so the weapons equipped by his soldiers, whether it is swords, armor, shields, bows and arrows, etc., are far superior in quality.

It is precisely with these sophisticated equipment, combined with those brave and good soldiers, that Fordeson has made him famous in the West Sea.

At this time, the ballistas and trebuchets mounted on these heavy ocean-going warships were the versions that had been improved many times, and these weapons not only had a longer range than similar weapons, but also had more amazing power, but the accuracy of shooting did not decrease in the slightest, but had a small increase.

Equipped with these long-range attack weapons, the sailing speed of heavy ocean-going cruisers will inevitably decrease, but its unique ship structure makes good use of wind power, which reduces the impact of sea resistance to a certain extent, and also makes the seemingly bloated warships have a completely inconsistent flexibility in short-distance movement or transfer.

Compared with the pirates they encountered last time, Chopin and the enemies they had to deal with this time were undoubtedly much stronger, not only did the number of warships double compared to before, but the elite navy under these Forderson was by no means comparable to the pirates who scattered in a hurry or even did not dare to face them at all.

In the battle in front of Paris more than half a year ago, Chopin had seen the combat power of these elite soldiers.

Even in the face of artillery fire and flintlock pistols, they will charge desperately at the command of their commander, and as long as their morale has not fallen to the bottom, they will never fled.

Although the soldiers were defeated in the end, the strength of those soldiers still left a deep impression on Chopin.

The other side has three times as many warships as Chopin's side, and once it is surrounded by the other side, such an absolute weapon of destruction as artillery will be completely useless.

The tactics of the Endless Sea at this time were still stuck in the medieval era, and they basically used ship-borne ballistas or trebuchets to fight each other remotely, and then it was a short-sword hand-to-side battle.

Such a tactic would have seemed foolish to people hundreds of years later, but at the time, it was the most effective way to deal with it.

Such tactics are not entirely unreasonable, and although they have considerable limitations, is there a better way to deal with confrontations at sea before firearms of mass destruction are made?

In the world in which Chopin once lived, it was also after the Battle of Rebanto Bay in Greece in 1571 that the firing of artillery and bullets replaced hand-to-hand combat, and then opened the prelude to the artillery attack.

However, it is really inevitable to engage in hand-to-hand combat, even if the opponent's number is far above them, Chopin's sailors actually have nothing to fear, after all, those soldiers under Fordeson are elite, aren't those naval soldiers under Chopin?

And because of the system, Chopin's naval soldiers even have a stronger will and a more crazy attitude, once the time comes to have to fight hard, they will never hesitate at all, when it comes to madness, these imperial soldiers who believe in God will definitely not be inferior to anyone.

And they still have a sharp weapon like a flintlock pistol in their hands, and when they really get to that point, a few volleys will go down, and those navies under Forderson will definitely not have a good time.

However, if he is really forced to that step, no matter what the final result is, Chopin's side is afraid that it will also suffer heavy casualties, and this is exactly a scene that Chopin does not want to see, after all, his journey in the Endless Sea will not stop there.

Therefore, it is especially important to avoid string battles.

Although the power of artillery is amazing, it is not to be underestimated against a battleship with a typical medieval style like the one in front of you, after all, it is far from as simple as you want to use artillery to sink a battleship at sea.

Even in modern times, in the famous naval battles, the number of battleships sunk by artillery is actually only a handful, and most of the warships were seriously damaged after being attacked by artillery fire, and then forced to stop by the siege of enemy ships.

However, with the continuous development of technology, the emergence of similar string battles is becoming less and less.

On a modern battlefield, if the warships of the two sides confront each other, and each side is determined to destroy the other side, the so-called chord battle is absolutely impossible, because with the support of modern weapons, as long as it is hit, even if it destroys a modern warship that is much larger than a sail, it will not take long at all.

But for now, with Chopin's firepower, it is not possible to do this.

Fifteen battleships, a salvo of more than a hundred guns, the power is undoubtedly amazing, and it is impossible for any warship on the opposite side to resist, but if these firepower are distributed to dozens of battleships, coupled with the accuracy of artillery shooting, it is impossible to take care of it, so it is indeed quite tricky to win this battle, but ...... It's not without opportunities.

The fast-moving brig slashed down from the Endless Void like a giant sword tens of meters long, and waves of surging waves rose with it.

On the deck, Ter couldn't help but have a solemn look on his face, the sharp sword in his hand was already unsheathed, the light released from his eyes was as cold as a lone wolf, and behind him, dozens of sailors were all holding sharp scimitars, like a group of bloodthirsty beasts, ready to start the most brutal bloody battle at any time.

Since Gilman was chosen by Twell as his successor, he had to coordinate all the navy on Drift Island, so naturally he could not continue to be the captain of the brig, and at this time, Tel was appointed as the new captain.

Ter was also a little surprised by his appointment, as he was a member of the sailors of the brig, his performance was not very conspicuous, and he himself did not know that Captain Gilman would choose him, but since he was chosen, he would not back down.

He knows very well that after serving as a captain, what he gains is not only honor, but more responsibility.

And for now, for him, for all the sailors on the brig, for all the navy in the city of Paris, they will be subjected to a severe test.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, at this time, no matter how the sea breeze swept wildly, it could not extinguish the restlessness and madness in Terr's heart, and at this moment, he subconsciously glanced at the top of his head, where there was not only a clear blue sky, but also ...... Faith!

On the high mast, the red and yellow flag, which symbolizes fire and blood, strength and hope, is still fluttering in the wind, and for more than 200 years, it has symbolized absolute invincibility, and in this other world, even if it is no longer the world that was once familiar, there will be no exceptions.

At the same time, Chopin, who was on the galleon Galen, was in more anticipation at this time.

Although the construction of the Naval Academy has only been more than a month, after this month of systematic training, Chopin also wants to see how much the level of these trained sailors has been improved, and then it is time to test all this.

Because of the limited resources, the first to be trained, except for a few sailors who were selected as officers, were artillerymen, and the next moment was undoubtedly their shining moment.

As for the so-called tactical arrangement, Chopin undoubtedly chose to use the T-shaped tactic, the purpose of which was to pour out as much firepower as possible.

And as long as the advantage of firepower is used to cause the maximum damage to the opponent in the shortest time before the opponent reacts, then the pressure on their side will undoubtedly be greatly reduced in the next collision.

It's just a plan, and it can never catch up with the changes -

"There's another group of guys looking for death."

Wright looked at the fleet in front of him, and the almost crazy excitement on his face intensified.

Due to Colderson's death orders, Wright had to stay on the coast to command the fleet, but apart from a rather interesting time at first, he has become more and more bored in recent times.

When "Spark City" was first besieged, there were many fleets that came to support, and among those people, in addition to some of them having other ideas, there were still many forces who really wanted to solve the siege of "Spark City", but in the end, their endings were undoubtedly bleak.

In fact, the combined fleet power of all parties is only stronger than the Wright side, but it is gradually broken by the other party.

But now, at last, another guy with a short eye has come over, and this time, he doesn't want these guys to be played to death so quickly, in that case, it will be too boring.

But what Wright didn't expect was that this time he encountered it was not as easy as before, and then, the huge pressure like molten gold and iron was also overwhelmed between the warring parties.

Accompanied by the waves that were cut apart, like raging sea beasts, a dozen or so armed merchant ships lined up to fight the front station rushed towards them like this.

The sea was howling, the wind was roaring, the wind was carrying the raging waves, rushing forward, rushing towards everything in front of him that stood in his way.

In the sky, the seagulls that had been flying down to the sea from time to time to fish seemed to feel this spreading oppressive atmosphere, and they all flew away in all directions, not daring to stay here at all.

And under the whimper of that gust of wind, the fleet on Chopin's side and the fleet on Wright's side launched an incomparably bloody confrontation.

**********

Earlier, Spark City.

Mayne was woken up by the sound of fierce fighting, and the place where he lived was actually quite far from the city wall, which showed how fierce the fighting on the city wall had been.

At this time, summer has arrived, and although it is still early in the morning, the fiery red sun is a little impatient to sway the blazing light.

The air is filled with a hot and dry smell.

However, in such an environment, Mayne felt as if he was in an ice cellar, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, he knew that the darkest nightmare, this time, was really coming.

And if that huge nightmare really shrouded in the "Spark City", this ancient city that has a history of more than two hundred years and is still standing, this time, I am afraid that it will be completely dyed red by blood.
