Exploration calendar year 1600, June 6.

Lead-gray clouds piled up heavily in the sky, covering the sky tightly. The sea and sky were all stained by this dark color. The inky storm sea was now raging, and the waves were carrying white foam, colliding and stacking each other, making thunderous roars from time to time.

The Northland Fleet broke through the waves in the violent waves. The leading third-level destroyer was like a steel giant. The sharp bow split the surging waves fiercely, splashing water, and bursting to both sides like silver-white shotguns.

The rain curtain poured down, crackling on the cold deck, and the cold sea breeze blew the flags.

Seven days later, the Northland Fleet broke away from the high-speed ocean current and arrived at the designated location. The sea area here is less than 200 miles away from the port of Caribibu, and it takes half a day to arrive.

But in the center of the fleet, one of the flagships, the White Rose, suddenly waved its flag, and the complex flag signal conveyed the message to the entire fleet.

"35 minutes east by north, enemy ships spotted 30 miles away."

The lookout on the White Rose quickly reported the message to the fleet commander, Earl of Rock.

In the captain's room, the youngest son of the Duke, Brownie, paced back and forth, and the family's sword-wielding elders looked at him, with an expression that did not know whether he was happy or angry.

Earl of Rock put down the monocular telescope, and the enthusiasm of the militants was completely replaced by calmness. He said slowly:

"It should be the nobles' joint fleet of the Bourbon Kingdom. The situation is very simple. Our intelligence has been betrayed."

According to the plan formulated by the fleet headquarters, the Northland Squadron will launch a surprise attack on Caribib Port. The Duke of Wyatt's family has no titled knights, so the chances of winning are very high.

The Bourbon Kingdom has three fleets, one is the Kingdom Fleet, the second is the Nobles' Joint Fleet, and the third is the Colonial Development Fleet. Now that they have been caught by the enemy fleet, the answer is self-evident.

"How will it win or lose?" asked the sword-wielding elder.

"Hey, don't even think about a big win, unless the commander on the other side is Brownie, but a small win is no problem, the quality of the seamen in the Land of Chaos is far better than the other side." Earl Rock laughed ostentatiously.

Brownie was speechless.

The quality of seamen does not only refer to combat effectiveness, sailing and gun control are more critical factors. A skilled crew can complete a turn in one quarter of an hour, but the "professionals" from the Royal Capital Exploration Academy have achieved the feat of turning after two hours but still failed. The gap is so big that it is unbelievable.

Earl Rock worked with the fleet staff to formulate a tactical plan. Since the number of artillery on the side of the ship far exceeds the bow and stern, the naval tactics of this era usually adopt the one-line battle line method to maximize the advantage of artillery, which is the so-called battle line.

"Order the whole team to immediately adjust to a longitudinal straight line formation, move forward fifteen nautical miles, and then turn back to the right rear." Earl Rock waved his hand and finalized the plan.

The Sword-wielding Elder had no objection to this. According to the current situation, the enemy army was advancing in a straight line, and the enemy would adjust to a "U" formation to fight. The battle line between the two sides was an acceptable result for everyone.

The nobles' joint fleet wanted to keep the enemy out of the port, and the enemy hoped to give full play to the combat qualities of the crew. On the sea, the vision was wide, and the ship's movement efficiency was much slower than on land. Therefore, for both sides, there was basically no surprise, and annihilation battles were extremely rare.

...

Half an hour after the two armies discovered the enemy.

The vanguard fleets of both sides encountered.

The Tulip, the vanguard ship of the Northland Squadron, turned around and sailed side by side with the enemy's vanguard ship on the sea. The two third-level destroyers fired at full force in an unusually tacit understanding.

Boom!

With the captain's order, a deafening roar sounded on the sea in an instant, and the white gunpowder shells burst out like angry meteors, drawing sharp arcs on the dark sea. The arcs of both sides intertwined, as if weaving a net in the air.

The shells whistled into the sea, and the sea surface was instantly stirred up into muddy. The surging waves rose and fell like hills, and water columns gushed into the air, and waves burst out at the explosion.

"Don't stop reloading, sink it for me!"

"Adjust the mainsail to the southwest for 12 minutes, now it's northeast wind!"

"Hurry up and deliver white gunpowder!"

The captain of the Tulip roared loudly. As a pioneer, he had the strength of an ordinary knight. He was in the position of a rear admiral. At this moment, he not only had to command the entire ship, but also had to shoot down enemy shells from mid-air as much as possible.

Boom!

Among the water columns, a white gunpowder shell hit the bow, and the huge power directly tore a big hole in the front side. The soldiers who were reloading in the gun port were killed in an instant.

The captain was unmoved and continued to shout and command. He was guarding the gunpowder depot at this time, just to avoid major accidents such as ship bombing. The casualties of a few soldiers were not worth leaving his post.

Boom!

Above the dark sea.

More and more warships were bombarding each other in pairs.

The second-class battleship White Rose fired 360 shells in just one round of salvos, smashing the fourth-class frigate on the opposite side. Because it had the best gunners, its bombardment hit rate exceeded 70%, and the number and caliber of artillery were overwhelmingly ahead.

The sea breeze was howling, and the warships were breaking through the waves. Rows of shells were wrapped in the breath of death, tearing the air on the sea, making a sharp hiss.

Wherever the shells passed, the sea breeze was split like a sharp blade, and then exploded on the sea surface in the distance. The water splashed like white fireworks in an instant. The huge impact made the sea water sink and bulge, forming a continuously spreading circular wave. The two fleets launched a large-scale battle line bombardment.

"How long do we have to wait in line?"

On the Saint Lilith, Wuhe held a monocular and looked out. The fleet was turning in a "U" shape.

The battle line bombardment had not "matched" them yet, and there were more than 20 warships in front of the bow waiting for the opponent to join the battle.

Lilith floated in front of someone like a ghost.

"I have a fun idea."

"Just say it." Jiang He put down the monocular.

"Let's cut in line, start turning now, and drive directly in front of the vanguard of the enemy fleet. As long as we sink two or three ships, the wreckage can stop the opposing fleet." Lilith reminded: "But you may have to bear the crime of disobeying orders on the battlefield."

Jiang He's sight looked across the sea and looked at the front of the enemy fleet. The front of the opposite line was all third-level destroyers, which was a bit risky in theory.

"Okay." Jiang He agreed. Lilith should not joke about her own natal ship.

Lilith made an OK gesture. After getting the captain's authorization, she could command the evil soldiers.

Ah Si led the steering team to change the course.

"Three sails adjusted to the northeast for 50 minutes."

"The bowsprit and the second sprit sails to the right."

"The main sail of the mizzen mast is folded up..."

One after another micro-manipulation orders were issued

A group of evil soldiers went up and down at the mast. As the sails were adjusted, the strong wind on the sea quickly blew the Saint Lilith away from the fleet and turned 90 degrees on the spot in less than two minutes.

Jiang He watched Lilith issue a new round of orders after completing the turn. It seemed that she wanted the ship to get the maximum wind force, and the content was quite complicated.

On the sea, the Saint Lilith left its own formation and headed straight for the enemy's vanguard ship.

This scene attracted the attention of the flagship.

"Send a flag signal to Baron Rhine." Earl Rock's face was gloomy. "As a great knight who took the lead in disobeying military orders, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing you after the war."

Regardless of the results, this was a great provocation to his commander's authority.

"Understood." The messenger turned and ran out of the captain's room.

The Sword-wielding Elder said, "I saw how fast they turned the rudder. The navigator should be an expert in navigation. The Saint Lilith might be planning to stop the enemy fleet. Since it has already turned, there is no point in coming back."

"I know." Earl Rock said unhappily, "Then what do you say I should do? If I don't listen to this and that, what's the point of the military order in the end?"

Brownie hesitated, but finally chose to keep his mouth shut. Before he was officially confirmed as the heir, there was no room for him to speak in the captain's room. After all, there were two peak knights in front of him.

...

A full quarter of an hour.

The Saint Lilith came to the front of the battle line.

On the vanguard destroyer of the nobles' joint fleet, Earl Green frowned with a monocular telescope.

At this moment, the enemy ship was about to aim at its bow with its side. The fourth-level ship was fighting the third-level ship, and the former would have the advantage of artillery.

But once it turned, the stern of its ship was exposed to the Tulip, which was traveling side by side. This stroke of genius forced the vanguard destroyer into a dilemma.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

In just a few seconds, Earl Green made a decision. As the vanguard captain of the nobles' joint fleet, he was different from the nobles who funded the ships. He had more than ten years of sailing experience.

"Abandon all artillery and supplies, throw them all into the sea, and crash the entire ship into the fourth-level ship in front at the fastest speed."

The order was issued. Looking down from the sky, the vanguard ship completely gave up the fight back against the Tulip. As heavy objects sank into the sea, its speed increased significantly, successfully leaving the bombardment range of the Tulip's side, and rushed towards the Saint Lilith at the speed of an armed merchant ship.

Earl Green drew his sword. Boarding battle was the only way to crack it at this moment. Rushing into the enemy ship's bombardment area meant that the vanguard ship would sink if it didn't break. He knew that he could no longer return. Even with the strength of an ordinary knight, he was powerless to fight the fleet at sea.

Another quarter of an hour.

At a distance of 500 meters, the Saint Lilith fired five rounds of artillery fire, with a total of 200 shells fired.

More than 20 of the shells hit the Vanguard, with a continuous shriek. Several hideous holes had been torn open on the side of the ship, and the seawater rushed in. The water in the passage was turbulent in an instant, and the debris was rammed with the waves. The sailors were covered in black and gray, and they staggered and fled on the tilted and slippery aisle. The shouts were ruthlessly drowned by the explosion.

The two sides were less than 100 meters apart.

Earl Green's face was full of determination to die for the country.

But at this moment, a bright flame rose on the Saint Lilith.

Jiang He stood on the side and moved forward with one hand.

Perfect-level flame control was fully activated.

Energy value was injected into 4000 points.

Changhen Dragon Spear Fire Control increased damage by 60%.

Three energy characteristics were added.

Crystal solidification technology was compressed.

As the power gradually concentrated, the black "three-color" fireball became larger and larger, and finally reached a diameter of ten meters.

Releasing energy at all costs made Jiang He's body full of holes, but with extremely effective self-healing and long-burning embers, he didn't care about this tragic injury.

Accumulating power for a full three minutes.

The huge black fireball left his hand.

At the last moment, Jiang He launched the perfect-level skill, fatal strike, which increased the shooting power of the fireball by 50%, and provided an additional 50% armor-breaking damage and 50% bullet flight speed, as well as 25% concussion damage and 20% shooting kinetic energy enhancement.

It was like a black meteor slashing through the sea.

Count Green was at a loss when he saw this.

The "three-color" fireball accurately hit the front deck of the warship, and in an instant, the flames appeared like a demon and exploded violently.

The hull, which was as hard as steel, twisted and wailed under the extremely high temperature. The thick deck was torn apart like fragile paper in an instant, and the fragments flew around with flames, blooming like fireworks.

The vanguard ship trembled violently under the bombardment of the fireball, and the broken armor caused the main trunk to fall apart. The billowing black smoke and pungent gunpowder rose into the sky, dyeing the surrounding sky ink-colored.

The third-level vanguard ship, with 800 people on board, was almost wiped out.

On the wreckage, Earl Green was charred all over, kneeling on one knee and leaning on his sword with difficulty. The main target of the fireball was not him, but the power of the aftermath was still terrifying.

Boom!

Before he could regain consciousness, a silver spear came through the air, and the cold spear tip bombarded his lower body. Jiang He exchanged positions with the blood shadow of the Mobius Knight covered by the spear, and skillfully reached out to absorb the blood from his heart, and executed his soul.

[Ultimate Blood Poison LV6→LV7 (causing 17% additional poisonous damage)]

The strong firelight blooming between the sea and the sky attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people on both fleets.

The Rock Earl silently put down the telescope, and then picked it up again to watch again. The power of the fireball was too terrifying, almost touching the edge of the titled knight, and it was obviously targeted at ships. If a few more came, the White Rose would also be in danger of paralysis and sinking.

"Write a report before taking action privately. If Rhine had said earlier that he had this trick, this kid would act however he wanted." The Rock Earl was a little more energetic, and the other party might really be able to stop the enemy fleet.

The sword-wielding elder stood at the window and stared in silence. As a family elder, he had to consider whether Rhine's existence would bring hidden dangers. According to the analysis of the family's great wizard, the other party had hundreds of thousands of lives. Of course, such an outrageous number might be a problem.

"We must win him over at all costs."

Unlike the scrutiny of the two peak knights, Brownie's eyes were fiery. Once he successfully won over such a fighting force, he could greatly smooth out the disadvantages brought by age between himself and his elder brother in the battle for heirs.

...

On the sea.

Jiang He looked at the dozens of noble coalition warships in front of him.

A few miles away, two third-level destroyers were approaching and were in a state of mutual shooting with the "matching opponent".

"You take care of one, I'll take care of one, there are no great knights on these two warships."

Lilith was on the ship, but she transmitted the voice to someone's ears. She couldn't leave the host before, but being on the Saint Lilith was an exception.

"Okay." Jiang He said.
