231: Fleet Duel

Elrence couldn't help but sweat after listening to Celestia's words, woman, when is it now, still pay attention to this! But then again, Cleon's instincts are too accurate. This time, he went to the camp of the Golden Horde to negotiate with the other party's commander, Prince Attila, and not only saw Princess Hulan with his own eyes, but also fought with her......

Of course, these words must not be said by Cleo, and the dragon had to keep his mouth shut and pretend that he did not meet the other party's question.

The eldest princess snorted, looked at him a few times with her big beautiful eyes, and asked, "Why don't you speak, your heart is weak, aren't you?"

Duo Shi on the side also interjected: "He is a big robb with a heart, when he sees other people's beautiful girls, where is he willing to let go?

Damn, what the hell am I doing, why is it getting stricter and stricter, and I have begun to besiege me, and I haven't offended you! The evil dragon was very depressed in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from the front.

Elrens turned his head to look, only to see the thick dark clouds in front of him suddenly break through the middle, and a huge group of huge steel ships revealed their shining and majestic bodies, each giant ship was lined with several rows of high-raised magic cannons on both sides of the hull, neatly adjusting the angle as the two fleets approached, and from a distance, its strangely shaped black lacquer cannon body shone with a sinful and obscene atmosphere.

The evil dragon suddenly stopped talking nonsense, squinting his eyes and staring closely at the uninvited guest who had just appeared, it seemed that the strength of the enemy's combined fleet was not weak. It is estimated that it was joined by floating warships from the Golden Horde. But what Holy Rome did not know at this time was that the Golden Horde had a secret pact with itself, as long as it took advantage of this advantageous factor. You might be able to achieve unexpected results!

"Your Highness, it's the enemy's combined fleet that has come to support!!" Just as Cleo and the others looked at the group of enemy ships that suddenly appeared in the distance, the excited voice of the captain of the Empire, Pitia, came from the fleet communication device next to them.

"I see. The eldest princess calmly ordered: "All ships immediately change their combat formation, and complete the first-level charging preparation within five minutes!"

As Cleo's command sounded, the Central Floating Fleet immediately changed formation. The warships abandoned the pursuit of the Shinra Army and formed a battle formation with the Gaia floating carrier as the core, and the innermost layer was flanked by four air warships, then twelve heavy and light cruisers, and twenty-five destroyers and frigates.

In the outermost layer are dozens of fast ships. and more than a thousand air combat knights who rose from the floating carrier one after another, and they quickly divided into several squads, and some set off in the direction of the enemy fleet. Prepare for a close attack on enemy ships. The other part remained in place to escort the enemy in case of a sneak attack.

The crowd waited for the enemy fleet to break out of the clouds and into their effective range. Then use a powerful salvo of naval guns to give the opponent a dismount!

After a while. Both fleets came within range of each other's magic cannons.

The Pera Floating Fleet has more newer and larger ships, and the firepower is even more amazing when firing in a salvo, especially the core flagship Gaia, which is heavily armored and equipped with a large number of heavy magic cannons, which is several times more powerful than the Habsburg Air Battleship, the flagship of the enemy's combined fleet. Under the long-distance bombardment between the two sides, Pera's side has a great advantage.

On the other hand, the ships of the Combined Fleet of Holy Rome and the Golden Horde and the Kingdom of Nicaea were relatively old, and most of them had not been fully repaired from the previous siege of Mount Ajid, and their firepower was inferior to that of Pera's Central Floating Fleet. However, the Golden Horde had more agile and fast Khan-type fast ships. Although the destructive and defensive power of this new fast ship is not high, the air mobility is very superior. Very good at hand-to-hand combat, once you get close to a large battleship, you can use the Adamantite Collision Angle on the bow to launch a suicide impact, even the most powerful battleship is difficult to resist!

On the other hand, the Holy Roman armies had an even greater advantage, being outnumbered and approaching from all directions. In the absence of air support, the Pera Army was bound to suffer heavy casualties if it wanted to break through.

Therefore, the general tactic of the Pera side was to achieve victory in the air battle as much as possible, and after repelling the enemy's floating fleet, then fully assist the army to break through the encirclement, and finally break through the enemy's encirclement and retreat in the direction of Thermosenguan in the south. The tactics of the Holy Roman side were to delay as much time as possible in the air battle, using a roundabout way to delay the enemy's floating fleet while avoiding a decisive victory for the opponent, until the army completed the encirclement of the enemy's broken rear forces and completely annihilated them!

With this approach in mind, the duel between the two fleets became a chase battle from the beginning.

Pera's floating fleet formed a tight formation, constantly firing fiercely, and at the same time approaching the direction of the enemy fleet in the hope of biting the opponent tightly and forcing it to fight a decisive battle with all its might. The Holy Romans, on the other hand, formed a very loose formation, firing back and retreating, not disengaging and not allowing the enemy to come closer, lest they be hit by the enemy's heavy artillery fire. In this way, the main forces of the two sides chased after me, and although the artillery fire in the sky was extremely fierce and the dazzling fire was endless, it still failed to open the situation after a long while.

On the other hand, the battle of the air melee combat units such as the Rapid Ship and the Air Combat Knights was very fierce, and because of the obvious superiority of the enemy's Khan-type fast ships, they quickly broke through the entanglement of the melee troops dominated by the Air Combat Knights of Pera, and swooped down from the left flank to the periphery of the fleet like a fierce wolf pack.

The Pera fast ship, frigates, and destroyers, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward to intercept them, and at the same time, the battleship group had to turn its guns and temporarily change its main target from the enemy fleet to the fierce Khan-type fast ship!

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the enemy's Khan-type fast ships should have launched a brazen suicide attack at this time to inflict heavy damage on the Pera fleet at close range, but they did not break through to the interior of the fleet, but kept circling around the perimeter to avoid artillery fire, and there was no further attack
