Chapter 241 Portrait of the Battle 8

{Next, let’s go!} Mitsuha

[[[[[[Oh ~~!!!]]]]]]

The <Carriad> I first used had to resupply .

The second ship, <Fune>, was trained to attack from behind, so I just shoot one side and waited for a while . Of course, the person who actually shot is the operator .

In the meantime, I used the same tactics as the first to attack the halted one .

The squadron I just mentioned should be fine, so this time it’s another one .

If we attack from the stern, we may be able to crush one ship at a time . However, for <Fune>, even if the inside got messed up, but the hull and mast did not receive big damage . If they return to their home country, repairs will be fairly easy .

And human damage would be great . ……I don’t really want to do it . It doesn’t suit my purpose this time .

Besides, I don’t think they can do it without me . Isn’t it very useful to gain experience in such a method?

This time, I tried it once as an experiment, but let’s stop that method and let <Fune> practice normal shooting . While putting aside whether or not the transfer bombardment at very close range is <normal> .

……No, I think it would be difficult to shoot at a very close range without me, right? But, well, it’s an experience of <that kind of thing>, right? After this, if I can afford it, I will also let them practice long-range artillery …

Alright, transfer!

[What the hell was that…] Melberg

After that, the enemy squadron, which was incapacitated by a strange phenomenon that was difficult to understand in front of the squadron’s flagship and the second ship in an instant, wrecked two almost intact ships . With two ships, three small wreckages, and three medium wreckages, it wouldn’t be a match at all . And more than that, maybe it was because the impact of what they saw earlier was too great . After that, they lacked vividness in the battle and was unilaterally beaten by the Vanell fleet-side and now escaping from the same voyage separately .

In the end, three of the four ships suffered considerable damage . While there was no risk of sinking to the other ships, the leading ship, which had many punctures below the waterline, was in an almost stand-still state . With a large number of holes from the ruptures, it was gradually losing its buoyancy due to the flooding .

It’s easy to chase after the three escaping ships, but now it’s time to hit the healthy enemy ships . I can always catch up with a tattered ship whose speed has dropped significantly .

And while the nearly incapacitated squadron is ignored, the first squadron is trying to occupy an advantageous position towards other enemy squadrons . During that temporary peace, the commander at the poop deck was leaking a voice of doubt .

[The expedition fleet, which shouldn’t be here and its crew are supposed to be incompetent as the crew of warships… they’re not very capable… they always have a falling out…, well not really . Anyways, they’re not so talented, and not brave either . It must have been <they aren’t the same> . But why…] Melberg

However, the commander’s musings were interrupted by one of the crew members .

[No, those are just trivial matters . The problem is, the mysterious phenomenon of approaching an enemy ship in an instant and then disappears instantly? It’s like…] Crew

The warship suddenly disappears once again .

Those in the poop deck were familiar with such stories . It’s also relatively recent…

[Goddess’s miracle…] Crew

Yes, it was the story of a modern myth, <The ship loved by the Goddess, warship Eras>…

[Distance 1200!] Watchman

Everyone’s thoughts switched to the voice of the watchman .

Yes, the little free time is over .

[Support the Third Fleet! Distance 500 in front of the enemy squadron, full turn on port-side, target the same battleship . Ready for starboard artillery fire!] Melberg

On the enemy side, the number of ships in one squadron is as small as four, but the number of the squadron is eight, which exceeds the number of the allied squadron . The place where one squadron is fighting, well despite the disadvantageous condition of windward, was in the bad position of 2 to 1, they’re overwhelmingly inferior . Many ships have already been wrecked and are not battle-worthy .

However, if this squadron intervenes, the number of squadrons would be the same as 2 to 2, and the number of ships will be 12 to 8, which is an overwhelming advantage .

[Fire!!!] Commander

Don Don Don Don Don

Although it was a little different, the sound of a one-sided salvo was roaring .

This is not where the 1st Fleet is rushing from the side of a single line of the battle enemy ship to support allies, but the 5th Fleet, another fleet with one fleet against two of the Noral fleet .

The number of ships is 6 to 8, and there is a disadvantage in the occupied position, so they are overwhelmingly inferior .

A one-sided salvo was fired at the gun deck to seal the attack power of the enemy ship, but of course, with some success, it was far from completely depriving the enemy’s fighting power . On the contrary, they were the ones likely to be deprived of all combat power first .

That would be natural . Two enemy ships are attached to the first two ships here, and one is attached to each of the other four ships, and they continue to shoot . What’s more, they can’t use the gun on the leeward bottom gun deck .

If they are superior, they should receive a medal .

[Damn, it’s getting worse by the second! The fleet flagship is…] Commander

Right now, the squadron commander is concerned about only one thing . It was all about when a flag-waving signal would be raised to the mast of the fleet flagship, the first squadron flagship on which the squadron headquarters were on board before the entire squadron was destroyed .

Hopefully, that’s before each ship in this squadron loses its ability to navigate…

Don Don Don Don Don

[Eh……] Commander

A newcomer suddenly appeared in front of the enemy ship… No, although it is a little old model, it is a friendly ship with a similar flag to their own .

Then, the same scene that the 1st Fleet members saw was repeated .

The only difference was that the second ship was also bombarded from the side, not only from the rear .

[……]

The enemy’s first and second ships lost their fighting power in an instant .

… and the mysterious allied ship that appeared as a reinforcement immediately disappeared .

[[[[[[……]]]]]]

They were stunned for a while, the moment of silence wraps the whole ship……

Then, everyone suddenly returned to their sanity .

[The Goddess’s blessing! We have it! Fireee!!!] Commander

[[[[[[U ōo ōo o~o ~~!!]]]]]]

Of course, even if they shouted <Fire> at the poop deck, they weren’t ready to fire the next salvo on the gun deck . It’s just a battle cry .

However, with the disturbance of the enemy ship and this momentum .

…Then add the goddess’s blessing to that…

[…We can win this!!] Commander

The commander of the 5th Fleet distorted his mouth and muttered with a ferocious smile .

{The first ship is about to sink . The crew is abandoning the ship!} TACCO

[Roger that!] Mitsuha

Alright, the long-awaited contact has arrived! Of course, it is a wireless communication from a patrol aircraft in the sky .

I asked them to tell me immediately if there was a ship that began to sink and the crew began to escape .

……It’s hard to sink, isn’t it?

That’s the story of shooting normally .

At a very close distance, the bottom of the ship, which was greatly exposed above the surface of the water due to the tilt of the hull, was hit by a salvo and was continuously shot on the deck from the opposite side . It was also made into a sea of ​​fire by flame jars attack filled with oil . Then, it will not be possible to cope with the seawater flooding from the underwater breach .

It sinks, when it sinks, yeah .

Also, some of the ships, which only have small punctures and supposed to be unlikely to sink were sinking, because I <took> a part of the bottom of the ship during the transfer .

So why did I want to know the moment when those ships started sinking…

[Transfer!] Mitsuha

Yes, of course, to get it .

Cannons, gunpowder, shells .

Until the new gun is made, these guns will be loaded on our new ship and to replace the ones whose barrel life has come to an end .

Securing gunpowder and shells for stockpiling .

Then, ship tools and gears, muskets and their gunpowder, bullets, safes, preserved foods, and anything else!

The gunpowder on the lower deck may get a little wet and useless, but it can’t be helped a little .

The reason for waiting until just before sinking is, of course, so that the crew of the enemy ship cannot see the [mysterious equipment disappearance phenomenon] . So I was waiting for the crew to start abandoning the ship .

I can’t just take the whole ship .

This time, it is only <The result of the battle between the two countries’ fleets> and not because the goddess wields a large sword . I want to make the Noral Kingdom think so .

No, it can’t be helped that the kingdom of Vanell thinks it’s the work of the goddess, but for the time being, <It was the ships of my own country who came to the rescue and sank the enemy ships> . And the sinking speed is a little faster than usual .

……It’s a little impossible, but they were sunk by cannonballs shot from the ship! So by no means did the goddess sink it!!!

If all goes well, they may be overwhelmed by the idea that <Vanell is protected by the blessing of the goddess> and neglect to strengthen its military power . Thinking that there is no need to waste military spending because the goddess can help them anyway…

The report to the enemy fleet’s home country would be <Suddenly due to the salvo of the enemy ship that appeared at a very close distance>, so the side receiving the report will say, <A gun battle with the enemy ship in front of you . Because you were concentrating on the enemy’s ship, the discovery of the other enemy ship that rushed in from another direction with a single ship was delayed . And you were fatally damaged by the salvo of the enemy ship that passed through the super close distance in the counter-voyage with the large angle change of the collision preparedness> . Yeah, that will do .

They wouldn’t really think it <appeared suddenly> and no matter how much the fleet officers explained, it’s just ridiculous bullshit .

Umu-umu, it’s perfect hahaha!!!

Alright, let’s continue!

From the guy who finished loading the next bullet, gently snuggle up to the enemy ship and shoot one-sided salvo!

If I don’t make sure that they’re sinking, I won’t get the contents .

Let’s go crazy!!!
