C245 – Over the Fence
In fact, Lo Ya wanted to talk more with the commander, but the flag could only send relatively simple messages. There were many complicated content that she could not use to say.
This war was a bit funny. Before the war even started, they had lost 20 ships. Although most of the ships that were sunk were artillery ships that shot at close range, it still dealt a huge blow to their morale.
Many of the crew members did not even know what had happened. They only felt speechless when they received the message and found out the specific situation.
Everyone had started to suspect whether the Insect Girl Clan had really rebelled, but judging from the current formation, the ships of the alliance were relatively at the back and could escape at any time.
After the naval fleet sailed for a day, Lo Ya saw the enemy ships and began to take off the air force to bombard them.
The first wave of bombing plan was to blow up the cannons on the enemy’s ships as much as possible to reduce the pressure during the battle. However, as she expected, when the hundreds of flying insects approached the enemy’s head, They were immediately attacked by many Magic and Dou Techniques across space. Even though they consciously controlled their flying altitude, they were unable to change all of this.
More than ten Wind God Winged Insect were shot down. When the beetles fell onto the boat, an explosion immediately occurred. As for the Wind God Winged Insect that was not shot down, it also did its best to lower its body as low as possible so that the Explosive Beetle it was carrying could accurately hit it.
The ship was in a mess. Some Wind Mages used their skills to blow the beetles away. From this, it could be seen that the enemy had already made necessary preparations to deal with the bombardment.
After this wave of attacks ended, Lo Ya ordered the flying insects to stop attacking and ordered the fleet to speed up and charge towards the enemy.
All the Launcher Insect were loaded with artillery shells.
The Empire’s ships quickly escaped from the impact of the explosions and did not suffer much loss. The sturdy thick iron sheet was able to withstand the explosive power of the grenade. The soldiers on the ships immediately turned the wheels under the cannon and aimed at the huge fleet that appeared in the distance.
“The number is really terrifying.”
The commander himself did not expect to suddenly encounter an enemy that attacked openly and openly.
Fortunately, the soldiers on the warship had been trained for a long time and were very experienced. Some of the sailboats raised their sails, and the Magic powered boats also activated their power and began to change their formation.
“Main armament, get ready.”
The Empire’s ships had clearly differentiated the main and secondary cannons. The main armament had a large caliber. The range of the cannon was far. Against a large ship, the secondary cannon was relatively weaker. However, there were many of them, and they could pose a huge threat to the crew. They could also deal some damage to smaller ships.
When the two sides were about three kilometers away, Lo Ya was the first to open fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
More than twenty streams of smoke came in succession.
The armor-piercing bullet on the Launcher Insect’s back was fired at the same time.
Its length was no longer as exaggerated as before. It was only about 30 centimeters long, and it looked more like a cannon from his previous life.
The heavy shell flew toward the target under the shocking pushing force. Very soon, it created huge waves around the enemy ship.
Boom!
With a loud noise, one of the main warships of the Imperium shook violently. The fire engulfed the lower level of the deck in an instant, and a large group of crew members were swallowed by the terrifying airwaves.
Smoke soon spread out from the area.
The commander put down the telescope and gritted his teeth. “All gunners, get ready. Fire in five seconds.”
“5, 4, 3, 2, 1…”
Bang, bang, bang!
The cannons on the other side also began to counterattack.
A loud explosion soon appeared on the ship of the Insect Girl Clan.
The distance of nearly three kilometers reduced the accuracy by a large margin. Lo Ya, who was standing at the bow of the ship, pouted and sighed. “I didn’t expect the other side to be equipped with long-range cannons so quickly.”
Not long ago, their shooting range was only one kilometer. Perhaps they were going to change their weapons. This time, it was only logical.
The fleets of both sides began to line up in a row. The modern super-long-range weapons spewed back and forth on the blue sea.
In terms of the firing frequency, Insect Girl Clan was much higher. However, after firing too many armor-piercing bullets, the firing tubes on the Launcher Insect’s back became overheated, so Lo Ya was forced to reduce the firing frequency.
The other Alliance ships led by the Kingdom of Yir instantly became supporting characters, and they doubted their own eyes. Such a long distance battle, such a terrifying cannon… Could this so-called Insect Girl Clan be the magic beast version of the empire?
“General, I want to know what is going on?” The supervising officer looked at the scene with a blank expression.
Both sides were very far away, so it was impossible to see clearly without using binoculars, so this kind of shooting scene was still beyond common sense.
As the commander of the fleet, the general of Yir had a gloomy expression: “I think I need to calm down.”
As the distance between the two sides closed, the ships of the other countries in the alliance also began to suffer.
A cannonball first hit a metal ship, and then it exploded on the right side of the middle deck. The blast covered half of the crew members on the deck, and by the time the vibration ended, half of the people in front of them were already dead.
Commander Yir immediately ordered the fleet to slow down and prepare to escape from the direction of the cannonballs. They knew that the firing range of the cannons on their side was too close, and they did not have the courage to continue fighting.
Lo Ya saw this scene and shook her head. She ordered half of the Launcher Insect to change direction.
Target: Allies!
Bang, bang, bang!
The Alliance Ship exploded!
“Wh… F * ck!”
Curses were heard everywhere.
Commander Yir saw that there were undead waving flags on the nearest Battleship Insect. The general meaning was, If we retreat, we will defect and surrender to the enemy.
Helplessly, this poor general ordered all the navy troops to charge forward, so that they could get close to the enemy’s shooting range.
The enemy side was also dumbfounded.
“What kind of aircraft is this?”
The white uniformed commander frowned and looked at the adjutant in disbelief.
The adjutant shook his head, indicating that he did not know either.
“Looks like there is an internal conflict on the other side. This is the consequence if it is not a family.” The Empire’s commander suddenly laughed. “There are too many enemies. Let’s ask for help.”
Now it’s 35 against 97.
Out of the 97 ships, 48 were from Insect Girl Clan. The alliance had lost more than 30 ships due to the two shameless attacks from their allies, which was why the situation was like this.
Lo Ya’s reckless behavior was only to force her comrades to charge forward to attract the enemy’s firepower. However, the large ships that played a major role did not sink.
The allies’ warships quickly moved to a distance of two kilometers. Their cannons also released smoke and began to fire the cannonballs onto the ships of the empire.
This huge squadron started to form a crescent formation and started to fire their anger at the Empire’s main warships.
The naval battle between the two sides continued. From the 5th minute onwards, the Empire’s ships that were being concentrated fire started to sink. In terms of firepower, they were actually evenly matched.
