Heart of Empire

Chapter 490: The Fall of the Combined Fleet

Views:

After the arrival of Kapnos, Dane learned from the system news of "Dynasty Heart" that the holy soul is a necessity for the construction of top-level military buildings in advance. One step is built out.

The premise is that you must have the blood of this top-level unit.

Therefore, Dane sent a request to the green dragon Kapnos, hoping that he could leave a drop of dragon blood as a primer to open the holy soul.

Of course, it was impossible for him to directly talk about this matter with Green Dragon, but he made such a transaction request for another reason.

After paying a modest price, Dane got a drop of Kapnos' blood, and successfully activated the Holy Soul, and built the Emerald Forest.

So, a year ago, there was an emerald green forest on the west side of Aureliadu; but today, the Schindler National Navy Fleet has the help of seven green dragons.

In order to recruit these seven-headed dragons, Dane paid a lot of money for visualization. A large amount of resources have been accumulated, and the Jade Forest has been running at full speed to recruit these seven heads.

The recruitment of a green dragon requires a total of 150,000 gold coins if all resources are converted into gold.

Seven heads, that's more than one million! Dane almost threw in all the spoils he got after conquering Cinderella!

In fact, if it wasn't for the seven-headed giant dragons, using the materials represented by more than one million gold coins in other parts of the kingdom would greatly increase the speed of the kingdom's development.

Of course, all in all, the price is worth it. At least, if more than one million gold coins are spent on the navy, there will be no naval force that can compete with the combined fleet.

After having the giant dragon as the top combat power, Dane has an extra trump card in his hand.

Since it is a trump card, it is naturally not something that can be used whenever there is nothing to do.

There was no need for this, and Dane also chose to restrain his edge.

In the past year, the Kingdom of Schindler has not encountered any important wars. Some small-scale conflicts, including this confrontation with the coalition forces of the three countries on land, do not require huge With the dragon's attack, the situation can be maintained only by relying on the powerful army of the kingdom.

Hiding it, using it as a trump card, and giving the enemy a big surprise at the most critical moment, that should be the best choice.

And the so-called critical moment is now.

The United Fleet is certainly powerful, but they never thought that the Schindlers actually had the help of a giant dragon, and the air defense capabilities of the ships were quite poor. When those sea eagle cavalry faced the dragon, they were like flies and mosquitoes Against the eagle, it is useless at all.

The sharp beak of the sea eagle can easily poke fish from the sea, but how can it fight against the dragon

On the contrary, with one claw and one tail of the giant dragon, as long as it touched the edge, the sea eagle would surely die.

In fact, there is no need to attack directly at all, as long as the giant dragon rushes over, under the power of the dragon, Haiying will instinctively fear and flee.

They are not a very brave bird.

When the forward formation of the United Fleet approached and accelerated towards its own fleet, Dane gave the order to dispatch the dragon.

The three 10,000-ton battleships were not bought by Dane as main battleships at all. After all, although the giant dragon is huge, it can't fly on the sea all the time. There must be a place to rest and eat. At the same time, military secrets must be kept, and there must be a hiding place.

Then, the giant battleship is the best choice.

Including the Huanglong, these three huge ships bought from the Shire became three 'aircraft carriers'.

As for the combat capability of the ship serving as an aircraft carrier, of course it is not that important.

In fact, the Huanglong and the other two aircraft carriers are only symbolically equipped with some artillery. All the double-row gun bays that battleships should have were cancelled, and the interior of the giant ship was converted into a temporary habitat for giant dragons.

At the beginning of the war, the deck was opened, and the seven-headed dragon jumped up. Dane rode on the strongest and mighty one, and began to attack the enemy's forward formation.

The first time the giant dragon appeared, it made the forward formation of the United Fleet feel great fear. And when the giant dragons launched their first round of offensive, the neatly arranged wild goose formation of the United Fleet suddenly became disorganized.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

The first to be destroyed were several small frigates. Immediately afterwards, the dispersed battleship formations were continuously attacked by flames from above. Among them, the most valiant Iron Torrent is naturally the most important thing that the giant dragons hit.

In the end, even though this battleship, which symbolized the pride of the Florentines, had excellent defense capabilities, it could not withstand the attack of the green dragon. Even before their cannons could swing towards Schindler's warship, a large number of cannons were destroyed under the dragon's breath, or the soldiers of the artillery crew were burned to death, resulting in the loss of combat effectiveness.

In the end, Lieutenant General Paparos still refused to admit defeat, and commanded the warship, preparing to burn everything together and collide with the Schindler's Yellow Dragon. But even so, they failed to do this successfully, and were completely destroyed when they were only one step away.

The destruction of the Iron Torrent represented that the forward formation of the United Fleet had completely lost its combat effectiveness.

The forward formation of the United Fleet has a total of 20 warships, among which there are three Dreadnought-class battleships. Among them, fifteen battleships were directly sunk on the spot, including two 10,000-ton battleships including the Iron Torrent. The other five, with damage, fled the battlefield.

Subsequently, the Schindler National Fleet launched a strong pursuit. In the end, the escaped battleship did not end well and was directly destroyed. In addition, two battleships were captured.

In the end, the aggressive United Fleet, which could be called the strongest sea force in the Southern Cross Sea, was declared destroyed.

Although, in the end, there were still fourteen ships left in the United Fleet, including four battleships, but the United Fleet, which had lost all courage, did not know how much the combat power was discounted—even if it was not discounted, they still took the sky. The flying seven-headed dragon had nothing to do.

What is the meaning of such a combined fleet

After this war, known as the Dragon Sea Battle, the blockade of Schindler's territorial waters was naturally lifted. And a week later, the combined fleet of the Principality of Florence and the Kingdom of Pudori was disbanded. Admiral Proudmoore took responsibility for the failure of the war, sadly resigned, and set up a meeting in the capital of the Kingdom of Pudori—Silver City. Awaiting the investigation and trial of the Joint Tribunal.
