Chapter 21: Naval Warfare

The fall of Wocheze meant that the Nords could safely cross the strait to reach Calradia. A steady stream of new forces www.biquge.info entered Calradia, enriching the Nord soldiers.

After the Battle of Wochze, the main direction of attack of the Nords was divided into two directions, and an army of about 50,000 men led by James landed in the vicinity of Fort Rejek and Fort Cherbek to attack Tiha. Another 100,000-strong advance army led by Balzaca and Bo Langque set out from Wocheze and captured the cities of the empire along the way, aiming at the royal capital of Sagos. In addition to these two armies, there is also a secret force that is making a long journey to infiltrate Fort Rebolet in the rear.

The outer castles fought for nine days with a limited number of troops, and finally all of them fell, and the Nord soldiers came to Tiha and Sagos, and Tiha and Sagos also used these nine days to make the greatest possible replenishment, and the supply team crossed the Djerberg mountain road into the Yuhe River (also known as the Weir River), and entered Sagoth and Tiha by water. Before the Nords launched the general attack, the Empire had already committed 120,000 troops to the northern campaign, but in order to secure the supply lines, 10,000 and 20,000 men had to be assigned at Fort Derberg and Fort Tihrog. The defenders of Tiha and Sagoth reached 40,000 and 50,000, and the 'Northern Campaign' entered its first phase!

.

In Tiha Bay, atop a giant Nord keel, a commuter reports to Manid. "Tell the marshal, there is a group of Karad Imperial warships heading towards Tiha, and it is now less than ten nautical miles away from here, please instruct."

"How's the scale?" At this time, Manid was no longer wearing the leather armor of the original, but the uniform of the Marshal of the Kingdom Navy. Lee's rich man ordered Manid to command all the Nord navy! And Manid is also doing quite well, especially his mothership, which is so powerful that it is outrageous.

"Marshal, according to the intelligence of the Hippogriff reconnaissance, the enemy seems to be the main force of the Kaladesi Navy, with thirty-two main warships and one hundred and twenty-seven medium and small warships."

"This should be the full combat power of the Kaladesi Navy. However, in addition to the Western Navy, the Empire also has the Eastern Navy! We only repelled the Eastern Navy, but we didn't destroy them! Since the Western Navy is dispatched in its entirety. It is estimated that it will be a decisive battle, and the Eastern Navy will appear in the form of a surprise soldier! ”

"Report! The Kaladesi Navy is speeding towards us, asking for instructions! ”

Manid's smile widened. "The Kaladesi Navy should know about our battle with the Eastern Navy, and know the power of the black dragon on my main ship! Therefore, it should not be a confrontation with us, but a direct attack! Order, all battleships are on standby, and when the enemy enters the firing range, attack immediately! ”

"Let's go, I'll let the Western Navy see what a black dragon is!"

All of Manid's armies stood still, and the ships moved sideways, increasing the area of attack, waiting for the entry of the western navy of the Karad Empire.

"Calculate the speed of the enemy ship, adjust the position of the black dragon, use incendiary bombs, aim, fire!"

The battle began with the roar of the black dragon, and before the Western Navy of the Karad Empire entered the firing range, the black dragon carried out its first attack, and the burning cannon stones accurately bombarded the lead ship, and the soldiers on the battleship were beaten before they could react.

The lead ship is the benchmark of the entire fleet, the lead ship is attacked, and the speed suddenly drops, although the warships behind slow down in time to avoid colliding together. However, the speed advantage of the fleet's advance was gone, and the Karad Empire's Western Navy, which had bypassed the lead ship, also happened to enter the attack range of the Nord Navy.

"Whole army, attack!"

With Manid's order, the Nord Navy launched a salvo, and the four warships of the Karad Empire's Western Navy, which were the first to enter the attack range, were directly sunk.

It takes a lot of time for the ships behind to enter the attack range and then adjust the attack angle, and these times are the attack time of the Nord Navy. The warships at the front of the Western Navy of the Karad Empire did not make much output before they were heavily damaged.

And the main combat power of the Karad Empire is not counting on those main warships, but more than a hundred warships.

The battleships attracted the first wave of fire, and the warships nimbly passed through the gap between the battleships, heading towards

The Nord Naval Mothership launched a charge, and they had only one target, and that was the Black Dragon! Only by defeating the Black Dragon can the Navy conduct regular operations, and as long as the Black Dragon is still there, the Karad Imperial Army can only be forced to attack. For the navy, there is a big gap between attacking and being ready for battle, and the Karad Imperial Navy wants to move back to this disadvantage.

Their plan was obvious, so obvious that everyone could guess that the Nord navy would stop at all costs, even directly ramming the warship with the warship, to prevent the warship from approaching Manid's mothership.

"All Nord ships go out and stop the enemy's movements!"

How many ships there are in the Kalad Imperial Navy, Manid doesn't know, but the Nords have ships, definitely more than them!

Tiha Bay is now in chaos, with countless warships attacking and colliding with each other on it. The Kalard Empire ships want to attack the mothership, and the Nord ships are doing everything they can to protect them.

The criterion for victory in the war is no longer survival, but whether or not the black dragon can be brought down! With the presence of the black dragon, his ultra-long attack range can constantly threaten Tiha City. As long as the black dragon is removed, it is a victory.

"It's time to show up!" What Manid had been waiting for finally came.

Behind them, the Eastern Navy of the Karad Empire suddenly appeared and attacked the back of the Nord Navy at a very fast speed!

Pounce!

This is an eternal truth, but alas......

Manid's mothership suddenly turned around and charged at the Eastern Navy of the Karad Empire alone!

There are nearly a thousand ships on the sea, but at this moment, only this one warship can defeat thousands of troops and horses, and the tide of the four seas is born.

"Is he crazy?" The Eastern Navy of the Karad Empire was overwhelmed by the sudden attack.

The real man didn't operate, didn't have any skills, and didn't need to use the black dragon, Manid's mothership directly rammed over, and all the warships along the way, even the battleships, were dismembered by the huge 'Ice Country'. One hundred and sixty-eight huge crossbows, spitting tongues of fire. Send warships on both sides to the bottom of the sea.

Manid stood at the bow of the ship, a man and a bow, but he gave the impression of a thousand troops.

The bowstring is raised, and the arrow is not missing. Manid's arrow, out of sight, passed through the hull and blasted directly at the bottom of the ship. An arrow is a big hole, and ordinary warships are unsinkable and half-crippled.

Knowing this moment, the Karad Imperial Navy knew that the most terrifying thing was not Manid's mothership, but Manid himself!

This naval battle was fought for a whole day, from sunrise to sunset. The Nord navy lost nearly half of its ranks, and the Karad Imperial Navy was completely wiped out, and there was no longer sea dominance.

Manid piloted the mothership back to Tiha Bay, and after a short time, continued to attack the city of Tiha.
