"Fire!"

The close-range artillery bombardment caused the hull to crack, and splintered planks flew across the sea.

As the sun sets, the fleet of the Knights of the Black Rose and the fleet of Erengrad engage in a bloody and fiery confrontation. When steel and blood collide intertwined, all the heroic words and children's love are drowned in the roaring loud noise. When the flying cannonballs pierced the human body and turned it into a rain of blood and minced flesh, everyone forgot about the so-called glory and pride.

"Aim for the mast!"

"Aim for the mast!"

In the cabin, the shouts came and went, wave after wave, and the gunners nervously filled the shells, but before the shells could be filled, a round of enemy guns exploded in the cabin of the battleship Iron Wall. In an instant, the entire cabin was trembling violently, the solid bullet pierced through the hull, the entire cabin shook violently, the stumps and severed arms of the sailors splashed in the narrow cabin, and blood instantly crawled all over every corner of the cabin, on the gun chamber, on the cabin floor, on the cabin partition, everywhere as far as the eye could see, there was scarlet blood and broken internal organs and corpses.

"Mom's ......"

"My legs!"

"Oh, no...... I'm bleeding! I'm going to die!"

"My stomach was pierced!"

The soldiers screamed in the shattered cabins, some with their heads shattered and headless corpses, others with their arms broken, their blood-red cuffs wafting in the cold wind. Others were hit in the abdomen by shrapnel, and their intestines flowed out, and their hands covered the wound and forced the intestines into it. But it still couldn't stop the blood gushing out. There are even more young sailors who have already broken their will, crying for their fathers and mothers.

The deputy captain did not care about these cowardly wounded, there was no mercy in the naval battle, and what awaited the weak was only more terrifying and powerful artillery bombardment.

"Get up, boys, reload your ammo!

"Fight back!"

In the blood, Vice-Captain Odoff yelled and ordered his soldiers to fight back. They were bombarded by enemy ships and suffered heavy damage, but they were not incapacitated, at least a third of the soldiers were still intact, and some of the soldiers who were slightly wounded were still able to fight.

"Reload!"

The vice-captain roared angrily.

The remaining soldiers, under the orders of Iron and Blood, pushed away the corpses of their comrades and continued to fight.

Taking advantage of the time gap between the enemy ships to reload, the Iron Wall was reloaded with new shells, and the two projectiles were connected together by an iron chain to form chain bullets, which were specially designed to destroy the mast of the enemy ship and kill and injure part of the crew.

"Fire!"

Vice-Captain Odoff roared loudly.

With the sound of the shells rubbing against the breech, more than a dozen chain-chain bullets were fired from the Iron Wall, like lightning bolts, and smashed into the enemy battleship.

The narrow sea between the two warships shone with a silver light of steel, the smell of gunpowder was permeated, and the white smoke in the sky made it impossible for the soldiers of the two ships to see each other clearly.

The Black Rose's flagship, the Black Shark, which was driving side by side, also suffered a lot of damage. A huge sail with a rose flag was torn open and crumbling in the strong sea breeze. Jiuhe Library

The crew of the Iron Wall let out a roar of celebration, but before the celebration lasted long, a new round of shelling arrived. Despite the best efforts of the gunners to reload, the enemy was noticeably faster by a beat, and the well-trained Imperial sailors opened fire again before the enemy could finish reloading. This time, the sailors of the Iron Wall were greeted with an overwhelming flood of scattered bombs.

Scattered projectiles wrapped in iron sheets were projected along the shattered hull, exploding the moment they hit the hull, and countless small projectiles inside exploded in the cabin and on the deck. The shrapnel that threw off the crew of mass destruction, and the captain of the artillery next to Vice Captain Odoff was hit by the flying shrapnel, with shrapnel stuck in his eyes, and blood gushed so well that the doctors had no time to rescue and treat, because they themselves were seriously wounded.

"Sprinkle the sand! Sprinkle more sand!"

Odov commanded loudly, however, there was no one left to respond to his orders. The fine sand on the soles of his feet was soaked with blood, and the scarred planks were covered with raging water, and many soldiers slid directly down the floor into the sea in the midst of the turbulence.

The screams echoed once again on the blood-stained battleship.

To make matters worse, the two light gunboats that had been intended to outflank the Black Shark from both flanks were now being surrounded by three frigates of the Empire. As was the case with the Iron Wall, Errengrad's naval fleet was somewhat overwhelmed by the bombardment of better-equipped Imperial gunboats. Their battleship suffered multiple damages, and the USS Ice was even hit at an ammunition depot and disintegrated on the surface of the sea with a violent explosion......

"Captain, we don't have gunners anymore!"

In disarray, Deputy Captain Odoff ran to the deck and reported to the captain about the situation in the cabin. However, worse than the situation in the cabin, on the deck, there was not much combat power left, more than half of the soldiers were killed, and the remaining sailors and crews were already shivering from the continuous shelling.

To make matters worse, the enemy ships were already slowly approaching, ropes and boarding ladders were ready for standby.

"We should retreat!"

Odove shouted.

"You can't retreat without receiving an order!"

The captain gritted his teeth and returned. However, what he didn't know was that the flagship of Erengrad's fleet, Admiral Disma's lead ship, had been tightly surrounded by the Imperial Navy, and three battleships had besieged Disma's Frostfang in the middle, and under fire from three sides, the Frostfang was also mortally wounded.

"What are you waiting for? All battleships, attack!"

Standing on the tower, Grand Governor Alves gave the order for the Black Hammer Fort naval sortie. The tide of battle is tilting in favor of the Knights of the Black Rose, and having the three ships of Blackhammer Castle attack is the perfect opportunity to surprise you.

Armed with Wadrin's repeating guns, the Flying Giant's flagship Yang Fan departed from port.

The bow of the ship stirred up waves, and the rows of guns were aimed at the Erengrad battleships that were fighting hard against the Imperial Navy.

"Come on, come on, I've waited too long for this moment!"

Captain Roberts cried out from the bottom of his heart, following Rod all the way from a caravan captain to the present day, never thinking that he would have the opportunity to face the regular navy of Kislev as a sea general.

And now, the opportunity is right now.

The firing angle of the repeating guns had been adjusted, and after visually measuring the position and distance of the enemy ship, Roberts gave the order to open fire. Although the Black Hammer Fort battleship is not large in tonnage and carries a small number of guns, the power of science and technology is powerful, and the repeating cannon invented by the Tyrell arms merchant Vlarr has been modified by dwarven craftsmen, and is the most powerful firearm in this sea area in terms of firepower and accuracy, and can be called the king of the Talon Sea.

The deafening sound of artillery bombardment was heard, and the hull of the battleship Erengrad suddenly burst into flames, thirteen shells, at least five of which hit, and the splashed water column directly surrounded the enemy ship.

Before the enemy ship could react, the solid bullet hit the hull directly and pierced the ship's side. At the same time, outside the range of the enemy ship, the repeating guns were again reloaded, aiming at ......
