As the sun sets and the dusk ends, the waves roll in, the light and heat gradually fade away in the darkening sky, and the sea and sky, filled with bright red glow, are no longer so distinct; they almost become one, blending into a charming scene of blue and red.

But in this dreamlike scene, the first few huge warships that appeared on the distant sea level forcibly separated them. They sailed with full sails in the vast blue ocean, and their solid steel hulls split every wave that came towards them.

The waves collapsed powerlessly, turning into thousands of water droplets that splashed on the side of the battleship, but they still could not stay for long. The dark golden side of the ship was covered with a steel armor belt, and the unique "hardness" and "brightness" of steel were fully displayed at this moment.

On top of the battleships, the hundreds of side-mounted guns that were supposed to be there have now been replaced, and their number has been drastically reduced to less than half of the original number.

But reducing the number of artillery pieces does not mean weakening their power. In previous battles with the federal fleet, the new artillery pieces loaded on these steel behemoths left the huge federal fleet completely helpless.

It was a naval battle that was almost a crushing defeat!

The Goths, who were known for their bravery and fearlessness, lost all their courage and will in the fierce artillery fire, and were as miserable as a stray dog.

At this moment, when these warships appeared on the sea, the Allied fleet on the opposite side was already on high alert.

In the Dawn Fleet, Clemento, who was on the main ship, was looking into the distance through a telescope. From his current field of vision, he could only see a few blurry lights and shadows.

This is the sea. Compared to land, everything is blurry here, which means the distance between each other is still very far. But even though the distance is still far, Clemento did not take it lightly.

The destruction of the federal fleet has proved that Yan State does have the ability to fight in the ocean, although this may also be related to the improper command of the federal fleet.

Although it is still difficult to see what the warships look like at present, Clemento guessed that there should be more Yan Kingdom warships approaching on the other side of the sea, and the warships seen at the moment were coming to investigate.

They are spying on their own fleet.

Clemento knew that his huge coalition fleet was sailing on the sea in a high-profile manner, and this conspicuous target would definitely be seen by enemy warships, but he did not care about it.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he believed in the combat effectiveness of his coalition forces, so no matter what tricks the enemy used, they would not be able to fight him head-on.

For this reason, the coalition forces did not need to do anything unnecessary. They just had to charge straight towards the enemy and engage in a head-on battle with them, which would be enough to defeat any of their means.

This is the Boer Sea, not the waters near the Yan Kingdom. The Yan people can no longer rely on any land fortifications to consume the enemy, and the sea area they are currently in is extremely open except for the reefs around the coral island, which is wide enough for warships to sail freely. In this case, the Yan people will not have the opportunity to design traps.

The current wind is blowing from behind, and it is not weak. The coalition fleet occupies the upwind side and has an advantage in wind direction.

It is now evening and the vision is still clear. Even when it gets dark, there are no islands blocking this sea area, so the fleet can continue sailing with confidence, even at night.

And when night falls, the enemy warships on the opposite side must turn on their ship lights, and then the number of their warships will be fully revealed.

While observing the sea, Clemento thought over in his mind all the necessary conditions for a naval battle, and finally concluded that as long as the enemy did not evade and dared to engage in head-on combat, he would have gained a natural advantage.

He gradually became excited.

After the last disastrous defeat and this bumpy voyage, the enemy appeared before his eyes again, and he couldn't wait to crush the enemy completely.

Without any hesitation, Clemento shouted:

"Full sail, full speed ahead!"

At this moment, he no longer cared how many dormant Yan Kingdom warships were lurking in the invisible sea areas. He had made up his mind to lead all the warships that came here in an orderly manner to launch a full-scale sea attack.

Moreover, he was certain that this kind of all-out attack was definitely the best way to unleash the combat effectiveness of the coalition warships, and formulating various tactics to engage in small-scale battles would only greatly reduce their own combat effectiveness.

If the upcoming naval battle was an unprecedented gamble, then at this moment he had already placed all his chips.

One battle will determine the outcome!

Today, on this Persian Sea, he will fight the largest naval battle in history!

His heartbeat gradually quickened, his pale face began to turn red, his eyes widened, and his fingertips began to tremble with excitement.

"Come on...Come on! Damn Yan country guys!"

"This time it's time for us to massacre you!"

Apart from him, most of the other soldiers were also excited at this moment. The long voyage on the sea was extremely exhausting, especially after discovering the wreckage of the federal fleet, almost everyone's heart was shrouded in a haze.

But now the appearance of the enemy has dispelled this haze. Now they are busy in an orderly manner. The gunners have made preparations and the shells are ready to be fired.

The Dawn Fleet in the front and the Pearl Fleet following closely behind have begun to form a vertical battle line, while the Whale Fleet and the Rose Fleet on the left and right wings have begun to disengage.

According to Clemento's previous instructions, they will play the role of flanking advance in combat. At the same time, when the enemy is about to be defeated and try to escape, they need to stretch the front line and encircle them with highly maneuverable warships so that not a single enemy warship can leave the battlefield.

At the Roman Island meeting on the day of sailing, Clemento set a tactical goal for the Yan Kingdom, which was to destroy as many warships as the Yan Kingdom sent out, and he would retaliate in the same way!

As time went by, things did not develop beyond Clemento's expectations. During the pursuit of the Allied Fleet, more enemy warships gradually appeared on the sea surface, and the previous warships seemed to have been incorporated into the enemy fleet.

Moreover, the enemy warships that appeared in the field of vision began to become clear.

This means that with the advantage of wind direction, our side has shortened the distance, and the enemy has not chosen to turn around and evacuate, but... is waiting.

Yes, waiting. They did not run away, nor did they fight it. It was more like they dropped anchor and waited there.

Clemento was keenly aware of this problem, so at this moment he was holding a telescope and trying his best to look at the enemy warship.

They were huge sailing warships. Looking from a distance, Clemento initially judged that they were definitely the size of a first-class warship, but this was not surprising because he had seen them last time.

But the strange thing is that the sails on the masts of these warships have been furled!

He could hardly believe his eyes!

The enemy actually retracted their sails before the battle! And not only that, they seemed to have fewer masts, and even with the sails spread out, they were different from the Yan Kingdom warships we saw last time.

"What are you doing? What tricks are you trying to pull?"

Clemento murmured, and then his gaze gradually shifted downward, from the towering mainmast to the hull of the opposite warship.

What comes into view is the hull with a metallic sheen.

The moment he saw the hull, Clemento's pupils trembled and he exclaimed:

"They.....They put iron armor on the hull!"

The sailors beside him also saw it and said, "Yes, Marshal, judging from the enemy ships we have seen so far, they seem to have installed iron armor on the sides of every warship!"

"What they brought here is an ironclad ship!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Clemento suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha!"
