This time, General Valen finally saw clearly the warship that was pursuing him—he saw through his own telescope the leading Wolf No. 1 cruiser.
It was the first time he had seen a warship of this design: without sails and with a low profile, no wonder he could only see the diffuse black smoke on the sea surface from a distance before.
The sides of the warship were very high, and if one looked carefully at the bow, one could see a large cannon pointing toward the side.
Only that cannon was mounted on a turret, a design he had never seen before, and it looked quite novel.
Then, he saw that cannon spit out a burst of flame, which looked like it had fired. Because the warships behind him blocked the view, Valen could not see the shells hitting their target, only hearing the distant sound of cannon fire like the rolling of thunder.
Finally, after the fleet had completed its turn, the relative positions of the two sides were essentially the shape of the number 11.
