Another World: Naval Storm

"It's okay, we'll retreat after firing this shot!" Leo was watching the sea in the turret, waiting for the opportunity.

"They didn't react at all. Leo might have evacuated the warship!" Liam really didn't want Leo to be on the ship.

"It's very possible that an incapable warship is a target. Someone as smart as Leo would have left long ago!"

"Send someone to the Von der Tann and keep an eye out for some intelligence documents!"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

The bombardment of the Talen fleet stopped, and more than a dozen lifeboats carrying Talen sailors went to search for the Von der Tann.

The gunfire stopped and Dawson saw a ship approaching through the observation port.

"General, if you don't leave now, the Talens will board the ship!"

"It doesn't matter, the time is up! Listen to my orders, after the shells are fired, everyone run into the forest at full speed!" The system skill's first hit skill has cooled down and can be activated again.

"Fire!" The flames from the main gun terrified the nearby Taren sailors.

With the help of these skills, two shells directly hit the Lion's power cabin, and a fire spread inside the cabin.

"How is it possible?" Liam and Alex looked confused. Liam, who had just reacted, became anxious. Two armored patrol ships went to assist in rescuing the Lion. The Royal Princess and Queen Mary battlecruisers resumed shelling until the ammunition reserves reached the warning line. At this time, two hours had passed.

"Report to the mainland. The Von der Tann has been sunk. Except for one battlecruiser that escaped, the Leo fleet has been destroyed!" Liam paused, "Tell the mainland to order the garrisons in the colonies of the Phylix continent to be careful of the roaming Leo troops."

"Shouldn't we send people to hunt them down? We have more people than them, and they can't get far now!"

"No need. The Navy Department asked us to go back and write down the details of the naval battle. The people in the country are already very angry!"

The Tiger battlecruiser has already reunited with Liam. They did not capture the Von der Cassi battlecruiser, which makes Liam very upset. Sinking another battlecruiser will make the battle more interesting. The Lion, whose power was damaged, was towed back to Rosyth for repairs by two armored cruisers.

[Commander, you have won a tragic victory! ]

"System, are you teasing me and not congratulating me?"

[Congratulations Commander for obtaining the Merit Points]

"System, why am I not happy at all with so many things?"

[Commander, please return to the battleship as soon as possible to fight. As long as you live, the fight will never stop! ]

"I will!" Leo looked back at the fleet commanded by his old friend, then disappeared into the woods.

A world-class naval battle came to an end. The two sides gathered 13 battlecruisers, 15 cruisers of various types, and 9 submarines. It was the most intense naval battle since the World War.

塔伦王国共损失：3艘战巡、1艘装巡、14艘运输船，重创1艘战巡、1艘轻巡洋舰。

The Drake Empire lost: 2 battlecruisers, 2 armored cruisers, and 4 submarines.

Overall, the Drake Empire gained some advantages, but both sides claimed in their official announcements that they were the winners of the battle.

Drakk Empire, Pt.

"The Far East Fleet only has one ship left, the Von der Cassi?" This time Emperor Drake did not smash up the office. He also understood that this record was already very good.

According to reports from spies planted inside Talen, the Talen people have begun to march and demonstrate, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Balfour and Navy Minister Fisher.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although we only won a narrow victory this time, we have hurt the Talens!" Piltz was also distressed. After all, he had worked hard to build the world's second-best navy. But he should comfort the emperor first. This battle scared the emperor a lot. The last time the loss was not so serious, the emperor was unwilling to send out the ocean fleet. This time is even more deadly.

"Hey, why don't we send out the Ocean Fleet first? If we suffer further losses, it will be difficult to compete with the Taren Royal Fleet! Let the Army work harder to capture the Flower City. By then, we can integrate the power of the Onebaroa continent, and the Taren people will not be our opponents." Emperor Drake was dreaming. At this time, the Drake Army had already reached the capital of Fran.

In fact, the Drake Army's advance had been blocked, but the emperor didn't know it. The bureaucratic system of only reporting good news and not bad news is common in every world.

The Frankish army has blocked the advancing Drakian army and launched a series of counterattacks. Unfortunately, the Frankish army's offensive could not push the Drakians away, and both sides had to switch to positional warfare.

"Your Majesty, necessary attacks can boost morale. The Taren people's industrial capacity is much stronger than ours. If we don't destroy the enemy's manpower as much as possible, the Taren people will sooner or later overwhelm us with numbers!" Piltz explained.

Since the military competition began, although the Drake Empire has had the first-mover advantage, the Kingdom of Taren has slowly caught up with its strong industrial base.

For every new ship built by the Drak Empire, the Taren people would start building two. Since Taren did not need to maintain a large army, they could invest more resources in warship construction.

战争爆发时，塔伦皇家海军拥有超过70艘主力舰，其中21艘无畏舰、9艘战列巡洋舰和40艘前无畏舰，德拉克海军总计48艘主力舰，与之相对的数字是17艘无畏舰、9艘战列巡洋舰和22艘前无畏舰。

After the war broke out, the speed of destroying ships on both sides slowed down at the same time. After all, Talen had to rearm millions of troops and support other allies with various materials. The same was true for the Drake Empire. Many of the channels for obtaining rare materials from overseas that were previously available were cut off.

Although the Drake Empire Navy was already the second largest navy in the world at this time, it still did not have enough confidence to defeat the Talen Royal Navy in a fleet decisive battle.

The biggest problem of the Drake Navy is the lack of confidence, from top to bottom. The Talen Royal Navy, which has controlled the ocean for a hundred years, is very intimidating. This Atlas naval raid has given the Drake Navy a little courage, letting them know that the Talen people are not invincible, and it is still unknown who will win in a desperate battle.

"What is the Ocean Fleet's mission now?"

"According to your instructions, the Ocean Fleet has not been dispatched. Submarines are carrying out interception missions on various sea routes in Talun!"

"Very good!" The emperor was very satisfied with Piltz's answer. After all, no emperor wants his subjects to be disobedient.

"How is Leo now?"

"He is now leading his troops to the Empire's secret military port on the continent of Felix. I have ordered a submarine to pick him up!"

"Very good, he is a hero of the empire, I will reward him well when I return to my homeland!"

"I would like to thank His Majesty on behalf of Leo for his kindness. What position will he take up when he returns?"
