Chapter 671 Ironclad Ship

As the sun sets and dusk falls, the waves roll on, and the light and heat gradually fade under the darkening sky. The sea and sky, now filled with the crimson glow of the sunset, are no longer so distinct; they almost blend into one, merging into a captivating scene of interwoven blue and red.

But in this dreamlike scene, several massive warships that appeared first on the distant sea level forcefully separated them. They sailed on the vast, rippling ocean with their sails fully unfurled, their sturdy steel hulls cleaving through every wave that crashed against them.

The waves collapsed weakly, turning into thousands of water droplets that splashed onto the sides of the warship. However, they could not stay for long. The dark golden hull was covered with steel armor belts, and the "hardness" and "brightness" unique to steel were displayed to the fullest extent.

On the warships, the original hundred or so fixed guns on the sides have been replaced and drastically reduced, with the number of guns less than half of what it used to be.

However, reducing the number of cannons does not mean weakening their power. In previous clashes with the Federation fleet, the new cannons mounted on these steel behemoths rendered the massive Federation fleet utterly helpless.

It was a naval battle that was almost a complete rout!

The Goths, who were known for their fearlessness, were utterly demoralized and their will crumbled under the fierce artillery fire, leaving them looking like stray dogs.

At that moment, as these warships appeared at sea, the opposing allied fleet was already sounding the alarm.

In the Dawn Fleet, Clemento, aboard the flagship, was looking into the distance through binoculars, but could only make out a few blurry shapes of light and shadow.

This is at sea, and compared to land, everything here is blurry, indicating that the distance between them is still very far. But despite the great distance, Clemento did not let his guard down.

The destruction of the Federation fleet has proven that Yan Kingdom does indeed possess the capability for long-range operations, although this may also be partly due to the Federation fleet's poor command.

Although it is still difficult to see what those warships look like, Clemento guessed that there should be more Yan Kingdom warships sailing on the other side of the sea, and the warships he saw at the moment were coming to scout.

They are spying on their own fleet.

Clemento knew that his massive allied fleet was sailing so ostentatiously at sea that it would inevitably be spotted by enemy warships, but he didn't care.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he believed in the fighting strength of his army, and therefore, no matter what tricks the enemy used, they could not fight him head-on.

Therefore, the allied forces did not need to do anything extra; they only needed to charge straight at the enemy and engage them in direct combat to defeat any of their tactics.

This is the Boer Sea, not the coastal waters of Yan Kingdom. The Yan Kingdom people can no longer rely on any land-based fortifications to wear each other down. And the sea area they are currently in is exceptionally open, except for the reefs around that coral island, which allow warships to sail freely. Under these circumstances, the Yan Kingdom people have no opportunity to set traps.

The wind was blowing from behind, and it was quite strong. The allied fleet was upwind and had gained the upper hand in terms of wind direction.

It is evening now, and visibility is still very clear. Even as darkness falls, there are no islands blocking the way in this sea area, so the fleet can continue sailing with confidence, even into the night.

Furthermore, once night falls, the enemy warships on the opposite side will have to turn on their ship lights, thus revealing the total number of their warships.

While observing the sea, Clemento went through all the conditions necessary for a naval battle in his mind, and finally concluded that as long as the enemy did not evade and dared to engage in direct combat, then his side had already gained a natural advantage.

He gradually became excited.

After the previous crushing defeat and this tumultuous voyage, the enemy has reappeared before him, and he is eager to utterly crush them.

Without any hesitation, Clemento roared:

"Raise the sails full speed ahead!"

At this point, he no longer cared how many Yan Kingdom warships were lurking in the unseen seas. He had made up his mind to launch a full-scale naval attack with all the warships that had come on this mission.

Furthermore, he was convinced that such a full-scale attack was the best way to maximize the combat power of the coalition warships, while devising various tactics for small-scale engagements would only greatly reduce their own combat strength.

If the impending naval battle is an unprecedented gamble, then he has now staked everything.

One battle will decide the fate of the world!

Today, on this sea of ​​Bohr, he is about to fight the greatest naval battle in history!

His heartbeat quickened, his pale face began to turn red, Clemento's eyes widened, and his fingertips trembled with excitement.

"Come on...come on! You damned Yan Kingdom bastards!"

"This time, it's our turn to slaughter you!"

Apart from him, most of the other soldiers were also excited at this moment. The long voyage at sea was extremely mentally taxing, especially after discovering the wreckage of the Federation fleet, which cast a shadow over almost everyone's heart.

But now the appearance of the enemy has dispelled this gloom. They are now busy in an orderly manner, the gunners are preparing, and the shells are ready to be fired.

The Dawn Fleet and the Pearl Fleet, which were in front, had begun to form a longitudinal battle line, while the Whale Fleet and the Rose Fleet, which were on the left and right flanks, began to break away.

In Clemento's previous instructions, they would play a role in flank attacks during the operation, and at the same time, when the enemy showed signs of collapse and tried to escape, they would need to stretch the battle line and use highly mobile warships to encircle and block the enemy, ensuring that not a single enemy warship could leave the battlefield.
