Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 579: : The First Battle of the Dreadnought

"Damn, who told you to launch an attack on the magic circle!" Seeing that the three warships of the Holy Empire were destroyed, Viscount Doyle suddenly widened his eyes and roared angrily.

Although it was the Holy Empire, they attacked them first, but the strength of the attack was not strong, and the two sides could fight with some restraint.

But this is good. The mage stationed on the ship, who was already highly nervous, launched a counterattack at the first moment of being attacked.

The three warships were sunk, and the Holy Empire could no longer withdraw from the battlefield. Even if the commanders like Amon agreed, the ordinary sailors would not agree!

"Okay, Commander Doyle, since the incident has happened, let's fight and take the initiative to launch an attack. The Holy Empire treats our allies as nothing!" Crown Prince Jona yelled sullenly.

That's right, things have already happened like this, regardless of whether the Holy Empire was intentional or unintentional before, but at this moment they must be intentional!

Otherwise, sinking three warships of the Holy Empire would be a great crime!

Since the Holy Empire took the initiative to attack its allies, why couldn't these allies fight back, after all, so many people are watching!

Glancing at the onlookers, Jona's heart became heavier and heavier. Who is plotting against them, the lords of the Blue Kingdom? Or the Blue Royal Family with a different purpose?

In other words, it was simply directed and acted by the Holy Empire, who wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the Silver Moon Kingdom.

do not care! What do you think about so much in the battle, let's win first and then talk!

After Crown Prince Yona spoke, the Silver Moon Kingdom no longer hesitated. All the shooting covers on the side of the ship were opened, and the gunner pulled the trigger, and the smoothbore artillery that had already been filled immediately roared and roared.

The Dreadnought Fleet in a linear array fired salvos of nearly a thousand smoothbore artillery, and the barrage was overwhelming, shooting at the warships of the Holy Empire.

Battleships can only show their true strength under linear tactics. Before that, there was only one battleship, the Dreadnought, which could not exert its full strength at all.

Now, the famous tactic from the Blue Star Sail era is once again shining brightly.

The overwhelming circular cannonballs did not need to be aimed at all, and they were all within the attack range anyway, hitting these warships of the Holy Empire round after round.

Just like machine guns shooting at the wall, the side armor of the ship hit by a large number of shells burst open one after another, and many shells were fired on the open deck, directly smashing a bunch of sailors into flesh and blood.

On the seven-masted battleship of the Holy Empire, under the protection of his attendants, Amon scrambled and ran to the ship's railing to avoid the shells.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Amon roared with veins on his forehead.

It was planned well, why did they suddenly start fighting? He still hasn't figured out what's going on now!

"Your Highness, Your Highness! I heard from me that the most important thing now is to restore the command, please give the order!" The attendant beside him said eagerly.

"Oh, yes yes yes, resume command, resume command, we retreat first, retreat first..." Infected by the attendant's eager tone, Amon murmured without thinking.

"Your Highness!" The attendant scolded the stupid pig in his heart, and persuaded him earnestly: "Silver Moon Kingdom is clearly prepared, and we have no command, and we haven't even activated the protective circle. If we withdraw now Fight, once Silvermoon Kingdom chooses to pursue, then we can..."

If a basin of cold water poured over his head, Amon suddenly woke up.

yes! Originally, because of the failure to ambush Simon and others, this overlord fleet lost at least half of its commanders and grassroots officers.

Now that they have suddenly entered a fierce battle, the fleet has long been in chaos. If they choose to retreat now, they are basically looking for death, and they will be killed by the Silver Moon Kingdom one by one.

It's better to survive the initial chaos, wait for this fleet to enter the state, and rely on the old background of the overlord fleet, the outcome is also unknown!

"Quickly open the protective circle and attack!"

Amon's order was quickly notified to all the warships of the Holy Fleet through spell communication. After bearing rounds of barrage, the mages stationed on the ship quickly activated the protective magic circle.

But in this short period of less than three minutes, the Dreadnought Fleet has poured out its full firepower, and the armor of many warships of the Holy Empire has been broken.

Even if the protective magic circle is turned on, the protective magic circle relies on the hull of the ship, and the serious damage to the hull also makes the protective ability of the magic circle drop sharply.

All the warships of the Dreadnought Fleet, equipped with smoothbore cannons, have been modified by Simon, and the rate of fire has almost reached an abnormal value.

A well-trained and well-coordinated artillery group can fire three shells per minute, and even with a general artillery team, it can fire at least two shells per minute.

With this attack frequency, apart from the seven-masted warship and the other two dreadnought warships, the protective masks of the remaining seven or eight three-masted warships of the Holy Empire were quickly broken.

The Dreadnought Fleet, which smelled the fighter plane, quickly replaced it with explosive bombs that could explode, and then fired the machine to create sparks. While igniting the gunpowder, it also ignited the fuse of the explosive bomb.

As the Holy Empire approached, nearly a thousand blasting shells that ignited the fuses were shot straight at the three-masted warships. The broken ship's side armor could not be stopped at all, allowing these strangely shaped shells to shoot into the cabin. internal.

Boom boom boom!

In the sound of burning, the fuse burned to the end, igniting the black powder wrapped in the iron shell, and the warship exploded from the inside instantly.

Several ships sank on the spot~www.readwn.com~ There were also a few ships that received less shells, fortunately they were only severely damaged.

But this luck didn't last long, because the second round of explosive bombs had already been fired.

In less than ten minutes after the battle, all eight three-masted warships of the Holy Empire sank to the bottom of the sea, leaving the onlookers speechless in shock.

"Oh, gods behold!" Someone murmured in disbelief, when did the alchemy warship become so fragile?

Even the two sides in the war were shocked by this astonishing scene, and they all fell silent for a moment.

"Your Highness, activate the ultimate magic circle!" the attendant said with a lingering fear, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Amon was speechless, and could only nod silently. Within fifteen minutes of the battle, eleven three-masted warships sank on their side.

Now there is only one seven-masted warship and two five-masted warships left in his hands, how can he fight this!

On the St. George, Viscount Doyle also had a shocked expression on his face. Although he had seen the strength of the Intrepid for a long time, the power of the battleship through linear tactics still shocked them beyond words.

"Don't be careless, we may still be able to crush low-level alchemy warships, but we don't have much advantage against seven-masted warships and five-masted warships!"

Simon's scolding made everyone who was in shock wake up instantly, and quickly got busy again.

At this moment, the mast of the seven-masted warship of the Holy Empire began to flicker at the same time, and the spell runes on the hull also lit up one after another.

Simon's face changed drastically. He had seen this scene before. When the Sea Clan was being suppressed on the spot, the San Karl sent by the Holy Empire destroyed more than a dozen three-masted warships at one time.

This is how it looked before launching that devastating spell!
