The first casualty of the first clash was 60 sailors. When the Sorcerous Empire fleet sank a Bireme belonging to the kingdom of Kurum. Which surprised Admiral Ash with this sudden attack.
Now the two fleets are about to collide with each other as they reach their effective range to engage their enemies. The ships of the Kurum kingdom raised their sails and increased their speed.
Meanwhile, the Sorcerous Empire ships saw the enemy ships approaching them and did the opposite of what Vice Naval Admiral Elina had ordered them to do. Destroyer escorts turned their main guns on Kurum Kingdom's advancing ships.
Admiral Ash watched through his telescope to observe the movements of the Sorcerous Empire fleet. Then he conveyed the order to his men.
"Send in the Biremes, we'll use them as cannon fodder so our warships can get close and fire their cannons."
"But, Captain, if we do that we will surely lose most of our forces."
"I know, but we can't sit idly by with these meteor-like weapons, or else they'll start targeting our command ships."
The man immediately uses the crystal ball to relay the Admiral's orders. After sending the message, small wooden ships called Bireme immediately moved ahead of the fleet.
Kurum had more than 58 Biremes in front of the Navy. They were followed by thirty-seven larger ships called 'The man-of-war' boasting greater firepower and size.
A Bireme is a small ship, these ships will be used as cannon fodder.
They were used by all the navies of this world.
The second ship that the Kurum Kingdom used for its first attack is a battleship 60 meters in length with a total of 124 guns, 65 guns on each side, and four cannons at the bow...
Battleships are slower and can reach speeds of eight to nine knots. Its main objectives are firepower, crew numbers, and the cargo it can carry.
The Navy of the Kurum Kingdom primarily consists of these ships with over one hundred and fifty-seven in active service.
The captain of SSG 1 looked at this formation and immediately asked his commander if they needed to take any necessary action.
A few seconds later, the message received an instant response. The message contained only this response from the command ship.
"Destroy all advancing ships and don't let a single one survive."
The Captain of SSG 1 immediately ordered the FC.
The FC immediately aimed the advancing ship, causing the main 120mm gun on the destroyer's deck to move. With the right target on board, the FC opened fire without hesitation.
*Boom!
The 120 mm cannon then emitted smoke from its muzzle, which was accompanied by an explosive sound, and also fired its large-sized shells from its ejection dock. A shell had just landed on the deck floor.
One of the captains of the Biremes rushing towards the Sorcerous Empire fleet even said: "Enemy ships on fire?" - He later saw smoke on the deck of SSG 1, but when he said these words, the Bireme next to them suddenly collapsed, he didn't explode. This left them stunned and confused, for they did not see a single cannon shot, but only saw that one of their allies was destroyed in the blink of an eye.
The captain of the bireme, who saw this, immediately said: "Report this to the admiral, tell them that the enemy has more weapons that can attack us at a greater distance."
"Yes sir!"
...
The Kurum fleet command ship, Admiral Ash has just received word that one of their Biremes has been destroyed.
"Damn! We weren't even within cannon range, but this enemy managed to hit one of our ships with a single shot. But we didn't lose some Bireme, tell them to continue the attack."
"Yes, Admiral!"
SSG 1 watched the continued advance of the enemy ships, but the captain of this destroyer finally sent his command first. So the FC guy kept firing at the Kurum ship.
*boom* *boom* *boom* *boom* *boom* *boom*
*boom* *boom* *boom* *boom* *boom* *boom*
The sea is now littered with the wrecks of many wooden ships known as Bireme. As they moved forward, the advancing Biremes were still attacked.
The sea was red with the blood of many people who were on the Bireme ships.
Many people who were lucky. They tried to cling to Bireme's remains floating in the sea to survive. So that they don't drown.
"Ah-ah! We've lost so many ships! Admiral, what should we do??"
A sailor asked the ship's commander, Admiral Ash, who was watching the battle through a telescope.
Ash looked at the sailor and smiled: "Ha-ha-ha! What should we do, you ask!? We will go and fight to the end for our king."
"But, Admiral, we are destroying our men...
"So what!? It's an honor to die for a king! Tell all ships to proceed. Such a powerful enemy requires the strength of our entire fleet."
"Yes sir."
After giving this order, all the remaining ships of the Kurum Kingdom immediately proceeded.
The crew of a boat, which had been sent to the front line, looked on at their fellow helpless sailors as they watched them sink without even taking part in the battle. As a result, their captain suddenly screamed in panic.
"This is real genocide! I don't want to die in this place, tell our people that they have abandoned this war!"
"But, Captain, we are going to challenge Admiral Ash, which could lead to our execution."
"I'd rather die on land than have my corpse become shark food."
Bireme immediately gave way and left the battlefield. The other Bireme captain looked at it and began to think twice. Suddenly, the other Biremes began to follow the first one, who was running away from the battle.
Admiral Ash glared at the ships leaving the battlefield. As he looked at the silhouettes of abandoned ships, a nerve suddenly appeared in his head and he screamed at the top of his voice.
"You cowardly coward! I will definitely cut off your head when I'm done with this war!"
As the admiral shouted, Sais, his right-hand man, addressed him:
"Admiral, it's getting hostile for us, shouldn't we retreat as well?"
"No! I'm going to take at least one of these ships with me to the bottom of the ocean!"
"I see myself following you, Admiral, but give me some advice."
"What's the matter? "
Admiral Ash asked, turning to Sais in a steady angry voice.
"Why don't we use our creatures to fight these ships, based on my observations, they can only attack anything that floats on the water. But they don't seem to be able to attack under them, so perhaps their weapons can only fight surface combatants, not underwater."
"So you're suggesting we attack their ships from below?"
"Sacrificing our mobility to destroy the enemy. I like it, tell me what percentage are we going to destroy one of these ships with our beast?"
"I'd say a 97% success rate because they don't seem to have any weapons that can fight underwater."
"Then have our animal tamers attack immediately."
"Wait! Tell the other six ships to release their own hydras, because we'll need all of our cards to exploit our enemies' weaknesses."
"Yes sir."
