The doors of the Ordnance Department opened, and rows of improved cannons were pushed out. These cannons were equipped with wheels under their bases for easy movement and rotation.
The well-trained soldiers neatly and efficiently placed the cannons on the firing platform, moving swiftly and in a very orderly manner.
The gun emplacement was now adorned with a new naval flag, larger and taller, fluttering in the wind.
Princess Lingyu looked at the cannons and suddenly understood.
"So Princess Zhenguo came to the Naval Headquarters to work on these cannons."
"It's only been a day or two, and they made some changes to the appearance. Can that really change the fundamental nature of things?"
Yes, these cannons have changed. Upon closer inspection, many parts are different from before. However, compared with the cannons of Dongfu Kingdom, they are quite different.
“Princess Lingyu, don’t you know that sometimes true change only requires a trigger?” Qiao Lian’er curled her lips.
The Dongfu Kingdom's warship fleet drew closer and became increasingly large and clear. Its sails billowed in the wind, propelling it forward. On each ship, several cannons were mounted and turned to aim at the shore.
Princess Lingyu wanted to put pressure on the Daze Kingdom, but putting pressure on them did not mean she would not fight.
She'll launch the first wave of attacks to teach Daze Kingdom a lesson. If the news reaches the capital and the emperor still doesn't back down, then she'll really go for it.
A cold smile appeared in Princess Lingyu's eyes. This Qiao Lian'er is really confident.
Even if she is very capable, she has never witnessed the strength of the Dongfu Kingdom's navy firsthand, and in the end, she is still arrogant and underestimates her enemy.
However, her confidence was soon to be shattered as she suffered her first major setback in her career.
"How about I make a bet with Princess Zhenguo? If the navy of Daze Kingdom loses, Princess Zhenguo will hand over the Second Prince Pei to me and let him return to Dongfu Kingdom with me. She will also post a notice on the imperial city wall to announce to the world that you are my defeated opponent."
Princess Lingyu looked at Qiao Lian'er with a fierce glint in her eyes, as if to say, "Do you dare to gamble?"
"What if Dongfu loses?" Qiao Lian'er said quietly.
"Dongfu Kingdom will not lose." At this moment, Princess Lingyu was more confident than ever.
"Don't be too sure of the future. Although there are many warships from Dongfu Kingdom, they seem to be showing signs of decline."
Princess Lingyu couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Qiao Lian'er also felt threatened, so she used metaphysics to comfort herself and hoped to gain the favor of heaven.
The more this happened, the more she felt she was destined to win.
Qiao Lian'er's eyes turned cold: "If you lose, obediently go back to Dongfu Kingdom and show off your power in your own country. You are not worthy here."
“You—” Princess Lingyu gritted her teeth, her eyes almost spitting fire.
But she quickly came to terms with it.
"These verbal battles are useless. You only know if someone has real ability and skill when you actually fight them."
Qiao Lian'er nodded slightly.
Pei Shijiu directed the naval operations from a distance.
At the same time, he kept an eye on this side, just in case Princess Lingyu made any improper moves.
As the enemy fleet drew closer, the cannons of the Eastern Fu Kingdom, with a range of up to two miles, fired their shells from a distance of two miles from the shore.
As they closed the distance, the cannons were raised high, their dark muzzles aimed at the coastal defenses.
