*CAPTAIN POV*
Witnessing the whole wyvern corps with one or two hundred of ships got wiped out completely during the pursuit, I now steps back in shock, shaken in fear, anger, a mix of feeling. I can't believe that the 'demon army' could be this strong, no one have ever surviving the strength of thousands of our wyverns, even the first civilization countries have a hard dealing with them. Thousands of years cornered the demon to the North - a very cold region, isolated them from the remaining of the world. Now, they came back and stronger than ever.
There's only one thought in my mind, I have to report this to his majesty, only if I survive. I want to retreat, I really wanna to, my family is awaiting me at home but....the pride I could lose, the punishment I would face if I came back, even death which prevents me from escaping from the situation. The only choice for me is to fight.
"At least, I could die as a brave warrior, not a coward" I thought to my heart
"Brothers!" I shouted, gaining the attention from everyone
"I...It's been a pleasure fighting with all of you. We've been fighting side by side for many years, against many enemy. Many have met their fate and here, right now, this.....could be our last battle. But, worry not, brothers! We'll be remembered as brave warriors just like how we remember our fallen brothers. Now....CHAAAAAARRGGGEEE!!!! SHOW EM THAT WE ARE NOT COWARDS, SHOW EM THE MIGHT OF THE APRAINIA EMPIRE!!!"
The speech sent a wave of motivation through all of them. They started cheering and working at full capacity with all their mind. All the remaining of their ships charged at the enemy at full speed with the same strategy they've been using all the time if they are on the losing side-getting close and boarding the enemy ship.
*HANS POV*
"This is our first contact and we have war already? Heh, this is gonna be fun" I thought with a smirk
I as usual with my German main tech tree, I am on the Z22 Anton Schmitt observing the enemy move through my binocular
Suddenly, the remaining enemy ships with the only Corvette charged at us at once, while the surviving Dragon Carriers stayed at the back cause they are simply out of wyverns, seems like this is their last ditch.
"Should I call this brave or stupid? Hmm....Well, that's not the question. Right now, let's just finish them all" I grinned
"Okay, as always boys! Who die first is gaaaayyyy!!!!" I shouted at the mic, gaining lots of of laugh from the boys (and girls too)
Instead of charging in like the enemy, we tried to surround them, spreading out our formation so that everybody could have a kill. While, on the sky, since there is no wyverns left, our aircrafts wreak havoc the enemy line with bombing and machine gun fire.
*3RD POV*
The enemy one by one sank to the bottom of the ocean, from hundreds of them to merely below ten. Their morale started to disappear gradually until there's none left. They are now sitting duck in middle of a flock of predators, waiting for their time to come.
But something happened, something just really unexpectedly happened! Tentacles!!! They appeared out of nowhere, breaking our formation. But to the enemy view, this is the only opportunity for them to escape, so they took it. Moving through between gaps of quickly moving metal warships, some made it out including the captain, some did not as their ships got rammed into pieces.
Turning back to our panicking friends, the sea monster finally rose from the water surface, it appeared to be a massive Kraken, twice bigger than the IJN Yamato battleship.
"Holy Scheisse! Look at the size of that thing!" Hans commented
"Comrade, what should we do?" Ivan in the Moskva beside him asked
"What should we do? Well, keep shooting it, our shells should do something" he replied
As expected, the Kraken can't stand a chance against the amount of shells were thrown at it. Because it's a soft target, its tentacles were all torn up by HE shells, its main body also from all kind of shells, bullets and even planes (yep, some maniacs did kamikaze in their zeros), it was bleeding so much that the water surround it was all painted red. Finally, it screeched its last screech like a cowboy yeeed his last haw, then its massive body slowly submerge into the darkness of the ocean.
In exchange, our boys suffered some casualties as they were snapped in half by the tentacles due to the surprise attack of the Kraken. But after all, they have won the battle. Everybody was cheering for their 'little' victory, but some of them also felt disappointed for leaving some of the enemy ships escaped. This could be an announcement of their presence to the new world! Like two edges of a sword, this will bring them more opportunities, new people, new allies or more problems and more enemies.
Their fate is awaiting up ahead
