Chapter 194 The Battle of Romeck

I'm late for today's update~ I'm really sorry~ Please forgive me!

--------------

In the early morning of March 1st, on the route from Port Dante to Jianye Port on Rome Island.

Above the sea in the south, a fleet is riding the wind and waves. The high mast is covered with white sails, and bright flags are flying in the wind.

The carved beams and paintings on the bow describe various myths and legends, and the statues of Pegasus or mermaids are extremely exquisite. The round moon hung high in the sky, making the naval fleet look extremely eye-catching in the dark.

On the largest ship, a commander was looking directly ahead with a single telescope. He put down the telescope and said to his first officer, "Keep moving at full speed. We need to find the navy that Romer may appear and destroy them!"

This ship is the Rommel, the flagship of the Lomec Naval Fleet, named after Romere, the capital city of the Duchy of Lomek, which shows the status of the ship in the Lomec Navy.

The first mate took a look at his first huge fleet and smiled gently and said, "General, don't worry, no one can defeat such a huge fleet!" No matter who the opponent is, we can easily defeat them!"

"The wind is to the southwest, which is beneficial to us!" The soldiers on the ship reported loudly.

"Full speed! Tighten the formation. It is impossible for Rome Island not to struggle to death. We should be careful!" The order was given to General Gordon, the commander-in-chief of this navy, and this navy is the naval vanguard of the combined army of the four countries.

Most of these warships have more than 5 crossbow guns, and there are even 10 on the larger warships. Stone spherical ammunition and iron ball ammunition are more regular and accurate than the stoning vehicle ammunition used by the army. These weapons are now basically replaced by high-end goods exported from Rome Island, so they are very powerful.

This warship can be said to be the most powerful force on the southern coast at this stage, and the number of improved weapons and ships is extremely satisfactory to General Gordon.

"Shir, I found an iron ship on Rome Island and followed us far away." An officer came to report this important discovery.

"That's just a waiting ship. Be careful. They don't need to pay too much attention to the wind direction. They are very fast. They release the sant and tell other ships that the wind direction is beneficial to me. Don't be afraid!" After saying that, General Gordon continued to look at the surrounding sea with binoculars.

The Rome Navy's ship followed far away, and the only thing I could see was the number 402 written with striking white paint on the sideboard.

After a while, another ship 403 appeared on the side of ship 402, and both ships followed the Lomec Navy's fleet at high speed, not far away. The experienced General Gordon knew that this was the other navy. Instead of any merchant ships, and the number of warships of this Romer navy is not large, because obviously 402 and 403 are approaching other friendly forces.

In fact, Gordon didn't know that the night made him unable to see the distant sea. In fact, there were more than 10 Rome ironclads sailing at high speed. In fact, the Romen navy was not waiting for reinforcements, but the time of sunrise.

"What are they waiting for?" A first mate of the Lomec Navy asked.

"They are waiting for the sunrise!" Another official who saw the problem hurried forward to remind his commander: "General Gordon, they are going to take advantage of the sunrise when we leave this direction!"

"All crossbow guns and catapults prepare bullets, and the fleet turns to prepare for war. We will fight with the Romai navy before sunrise, otherwise the sunrise will be used by the Romai navy. Gordon also realized the problem and immediately ordered the fleet to turn.

After a while, Gordon was notified, and the other side's warship also adjusted its course, and the distance between the two sides was not significantly narrowed.

At the same time, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Romeck Navy, Ironclad 501.

A weather officer reported to the young man sitting in the command position: "Report! Sean's fleet commander, just sent back the signal from the vanguard 402 and found that the enemy ship, located 202, northward, heading southwest, and the wind southwest, which was beneficial to the enemy.

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Sean looked at his first officer with his only eye and ordered: "Keep up, take a detour behind them, bite them, take advantage of the speed, and keep a distance. The sunlight after dawn is good for us. Since they want to go up to the wind, we will give them."

Sean's eyes dug out by himself are now replaced by a huge black pearl, which makes him look more like a pirate, which is very scary.

"Tell 402 to keep an eye on the opposite direction, signal 403 and 405, and narrow the distance from the ship. Tomorrow dawn, we will start a war." Then Sean gave the order.

Haha, the first officer laughed, as if the enemy navy opposite was just a few fishing boats.

Let's cut the camera back to Lomek's navy. After chasing for a while, the impatient Lomec and other maritime allied forces began to test the attack. The ranging shooting showed that the enemy was still out of range.

Both sides were waiting for the right time and distance. In the end, the Lomek navy opened fire again, but it was still not enough range, which made General Gordon a little annoyed. He didn't understand why the Romer navy kept such a distance.

However, Gordon soon understood why Romer's navy deliberately kept its distance. Shortly after the second Lomec coalition shot, Romeck's navy began to fight back.

A loud noise cut through the sky, and the flames from the magic cannon of the Romer navy lit up the sky. At this time, Gordon and others knew that the exact number of the Romer navy was about 15.

What was even more devastating was that then there were explosions on the sea on his side, and a warship named Toby of his fleet was hit, and the mast was hit twice in an instant.

The disaster has just begun. Every short time, the Romer navy has launched such a strange attack, and ships keep exploding and burning. Soldiers were constantly wounded and howled, and after a while, the whole fleet was in danger of being destroyed.

While hesitating, another round of attack hit, and his fleet was passively beaten without being able to fight back. If it had been placed 3 minutes ago, he would not believe it, but now it is really happening.

Soon, his flagship Romere was hit, and violent shaking and fires forced him to give up his flagship and transfer to other ships to command.

However, after experiencing the excitement of bumps on the sump, poor Gordon ushered in the sunrise not long after boarding the newly transferred warship Dante. Dante was soon hit by four magic cannonballs at the same time and instantly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Like the fat on the chopping board, the whole fleet was sunk by nearly half of the warships shortly after sunrise, and only 14 warships were left in the huge fleet of 40 warships when the white flag was raised.
