The clock is going back to two days ago.

The Sea of Silence is located to the west of the kingdom of Rothschild and is named after the Moscow icebergs that roam the sea. The icy icebergs are extremely dangerous, and only the Kingdom's largest warship-class dreadnoughts can sail through this sea after being refitted.

The patrol fleet here is responsible for early warning, and if you encounter a sea monster, you need to report to the rear in time and mobilize the fleet to deal with them.

Since most of these Krakens are floating on the surface of the sea, human warships can also deal with Krakens.

Okodoski is the captain of the battleship Veronica of the Lossire Kingdom's Naval Fleet. He and his battleship were appointed as the flagship of the patrol fleet, accompanied by the dreadnought Ytherine, which served as an escort, as well as the dreadnoughts of the Riemanus and Bonaparte from the Duchy of Gaul.

The dreadnought had more steel armor than the average battleship, but it still had a lot of wooden structures inside.

Due to its proximity to the poles, geomagnetic interference made radio communication difficult, and the battleships communicated with their flag bearers through searchlights. At this point, he had just received a report of an anomaly.

Having such a report in this area of the ocean is likely to be an uphill battle. Because in addition to the ordinary Kraken, it is the fleet from the unknown empire.

He has been the captain of ships for more than ten years, and so far, he has only encountered a few unmanned warships of the South Loya Empire.

"Report to the captain, there is an object suspected of being a ranger ten nautical miles ahead!" Observers reported via the ship's internal communication system.

"All in combat state!" Okodowski immediately ordered. The alarm bells on the battleship began to blaze, and the crew began to get busy.

The gun covers of the naval guns were removed, and the tarps were removed. The fighters in the turret began to reload shells and powder packs.

The shelling of the conning tower began to calibrate the optical instruments, providing the turret with firing parameters.

The ship began to pick up speed. With AC searchlights, the Yesherine in the rear was also ready for battle. Riemanus and Bonaparte spread out to the flanks, and the four battleships formed a triangular formation.

Okodoski returned to the finger-painted fort and picked up the telescope to look ahead.

The Hunter is a self-disciplined maritime weapon of the Southern Loya Empire, and they usually fly in groups, relying on the eight fish/torodo launchers they carry on them. In order to deal with this highly mobile enemy, the dreadnought was equipped with twelve twin 88mm rapid-fire guns on each of its two sides, forming a net of destruction through the number of cannons.

The main artillery began to bombard, and the rangers, after being shelled, began to disperse. Fish/Mines are coming towards Veronica and Yesherine.

"Hit Attention!" The clumsy dreadnought was quickly hit by a fish/mine, but fortunately, the specially modified dreadnought had a stronger defense, and one fish/tordo was not enough.

"Urgent evasion, right full rudder!"

The battleship turned around, allowing the side guns to get a window of fire.

The artillery on the flanks began to attack the approaching Rangers, and soon several Rangers were sunk by strong fire, which greatly boosted morale.

After being hit five times by enemy fish/torques, the patrol fleet managed to defeat this fleet of Hunters.

Okodowski breathed a sigh of relief, but the harsh reality could not have allowed him to relax.

A huge ship appeared in view, and preliminary measurements showed that the height was about twenty-two meters.

It was the fleet of the Southern Loya Empire, a huge fleet that obscured the sky and the sun, and the smoke they spewed hung over the entire sea.

That fleet of rangers was only part of the vanguard.

Veronica and Yesherine, despite the overloaded boilers, began to turn back at full speed, and all the smoke grenades were fired.

The intact Levalus and Bonaparte went up and moved to the rear of the force.

The warships of the Southern Loya Empire began to attack, and a mountain-like column of water was generated next to the Riemanus, and the great impact force even deformed the battleship.

Countless black dots appeared in the sky, and they were breaking through the sky, making a screeching sound.

“。。。 The attack is coming! "This was Veronica's last desperate message.

All four warships were then lost.

A few hours later, the port of the Kingdom of Rothil in the Serbian colony was attacked by the Imperial fleet, and the Dougal colony of the Duchy of Gaul reported the attack.

After a day of fierce battle with the fleet of the South Loya Empire, the combined fleet of the Silent Sea, consisting of the Kingdom of Rothil and the Duchy of Gaul, was wiped out, and the Empire's vast fleet broke through the sea defenses and came to the shores of the Supreme Lighthouse Fortress of the Kingdom of Rothier.

The Supreme Lighthouse Fortress is a huge fortress complex that has been expanded and vaporized by the Kingdom of Rothil based on the Silent Fortress built during the Imperial Era, and was originally used to deal with attacks from the sea.

After receiving the alarm, the fortress began to prepare for war, and the kingdom began to mobilize troops to support it.

After receiving the urgent order to return home, the Snow Wolf Knights immediately took a steam train and rushed to the fortress of the Supreme Lighthouse.

In the afternoon of the next day, the figure of the fleet of the Southern Loya Empire appeared in the distance. All units entered their shelters, ready for a salvo of naval artillery that could arrive at any moment.

The violent tremors were generated, and everyone felt dizzy, even if they were hiding inside the fortress, they could hear the explosion outside.

I don't know how long it took for the shelling to finally end, and many felt like they had waited a lifetime.

Soldiers began to return to combat positions.

One landing craft after another were approaching the coastline, and the coastal artillery of the fortress began to attack. From time to time, landing craft were engulfed, and the machine guns on the landing craft from the South Loya Empire began to fire back.

The first landing craft arrived at the beach, and a light tank rushed out. This light tank had a main turret with a 37 mm gun and a machine gun with frontal armor between 30 mm and 40 mm.

The beachhead fortress began to fire and disable the tank in an instant, and the detonated ammunition overturned the soldiers behind the tank. But there was no bloody scene, and those soldiers turned out to be robots! The surviving soldiers, fearless to death, withstood the dense network of fire and rushed forward.

More and more landing craft passed through the line of fire of the coastal artillery to the beachhead and quickly dropped the troops. More and more light tanks and armed engineering vehicles clearing obstacles began to advance slowly, and groups of mechic soldiers, after paying huge losses, passed through the fire network and came to the bottom of the fortress.

They used explosives to blast through walls and enter the fortifications inside the fortress and on the beachhead.

Although these robots are not afraid of any attack, they are slow to react, and inside the fortress, they can only rely on firepower to deal with the defenders, who can use their wits to destroy these invaders.

Although the battle loss ratio was almost ten mechanical soldiers of the South Loya Empire for one human soldier of the Rothel Kingdom, as batch after batch of mech armies advanced one after another, the beachhead gradually became a little unsupportable.

After considering the current situation, the command decided to abandon the beachhead and defend the Supreme Lighthouse Fortress with all its might.

The Supreme Lighthouse Fortress is more comprehensive than the Wall of Despair Fortress, with a larger garrison, with 100,000 soldiers and 4,000 Steam Armored Knights and countless logisticians. It guards the passage to the plains of Celia, the kingdom's agricultural stronghold.

The battle began at noon the next day.

Countless armies of cyborg followed behind the torrent of tanks, attacking the Supreme Lighthouse Fortress like a tide of beasts. The intertwined firepower of the two sides is like a curtain of rain.

The Snow Wolf Knights arrived more than an hour after the start of the war.

By this time, the front of the fortress had become cratered, and the bottom of the walls was littered with mechanical wreckage, and along the way down, there were abandoned tanks and mechanical debris all over the ground. The enemy is attacking the frontal wall, and a tenth of the wall has been taken.

The Supreme Lighthouse Fortress has three layers of defense, and the first layer of the fortress that is now at risk of loss is the fortress's first layer of defense, consisting of a wall, eight firing fortresses, four fortress guns, and sixteen artillery towers. There were also trenches and small fortresses between each defensive circle.

"How's it going?" Felian Vinolle came directly to the main headquarters of the fortress and asked.

"Report to Your Highness, at the moment we are engaged with the enemy in the First Circle of Defence, and so far, we have only found three types of enemies, which are the infantry type, armed with a light machine gun; sapper type, equipped with a certain amount of explosives and tools; A light tank with combat power equivalent to our Khachagin tank 1. An officer replied.

"Why did you let the enemy climb the walls?"

"Because we don't yet know the exact number of enemy troops, we must keep alive until reinforcements arrive."

"I don't know the exact number? What's going on? Felianvinoel asked with a frown.

"Yes, Your Highness, all the reconnaissance forces and reconnaissance ships that have been dispatched so far have not had any effective information to reply."

"Have you asked for help from the Holy Country?"

"Your Highness, with all due respect, we can withstand the attack from the Southern Loya Empire!" The officer said suddenly, solemnly.

For most of the people of the Rothier Kingdom, they are the largest country in the whole of Middle-earth, but they have to bow to the Holy Kingdom, which is the greatest shame for everyone who thinks that the Rothil Kingdom is the greatest military and scientific researcher. This is also the reason why the kingdom of Rothier is leading in science and technology despite its backward system.

Although they don't want to admit it, they all know that the Holy Kingdom is powerful. The reason why the latter did not start a war to unify Middle-earth was only because the Holy Kingdom was now focused on overseas colonies and the Eastern Crusade.

Ferennoth sighed in her heart, sometimes people can persist in order to maintain their dignity, and sometimes they have to let go decisively. Even her father had already bowed his head, and most of the time it needed to bow when the kingdom was able to stand up completely.

Instead of still holding on, in her opinion, it is better to seize the opportunity to develop herself with the help of the power of the Holy Kingdom.

Dignity is maintained by strength, not by impulse.

Felenvinoel nodded, left the headquarters, and after returning to her own territory, asked one of her henchmen to report to her father and ask for help from the Holy Kingdom.
