Episode 173: The Glory of the Invincible Fleet

A state is, that is, economic power.

In the countries of the Eurasian continent, it was Castilia, the naval power at the southern tip, that first noticed that point.

Only about two years ago, when the superpower Germania intensified its aggressive actions to embark on all Eurasian domination.

The Kingdom of Castilia was not sitting and watching the imperial ambitions, land gives way to the Germanian Empire. But the sea of Sai Lane, Mother, shall belong to my kingdom of Castile.

The Great Sea Transport Project, which took place at the expense of most of the national power.

The more Germanic threats, the more momentum Castile gained to push the fleet further into the Great Sea.

Through the Seilene Great Sea, it creates numerous colonies on the southern African continent and, through the Adrean Sea to the west, activates dealings with the Papal State of Ravenna, the Alliance of Pulpolis Urban States and the Anatolian Empire.

The enormous wealth brought about by shipping pushed Castilia to one of the richest countries in the Eurasian continent.

The abundance of shipping power will also remain a force of war.

No matter how the Germanian Empire leads the great army, the kingdom of Castilia, with its great navy, is superior to its barracks capability.

There are limits to any attempt to seek food from enemy land. The bigger that army is, the more it attacks, the more the line of barracks stretches, exhausts, and sooner or later the outpost stops.

In that regard, military vessels that are less than capable of transport can instantly carry soldiers and supplies to ports everywhere. It is the Kingdom of Castilia, which dominates the sea, that will eventually prevail.

Famous lord rarely seen in ancient times. His Majesty the Great Study King (Hikikomori) Fildinant, who moves the world on his desk, prophesied so, that his far-reaching great strategy was steadily underway.

Victory was loved by the goddess and in the hands of the great Invincible Fleet. But......

The flagship of the invincible fleet, basically the new combat military vessel that adds the operability of the ship to the sailboat Galeon, the fleet command room of the 'Princhbe des Auturias' of the Galeas vessel.

Admiral Fidelico, seated, scratches a rich blonde with mixed gray hair and heads to the paperwork. I am in the process of compiling a report to be submitted to His Majesty.

Beyond the impending fleet showdown with Silesier, if this ship sinks, even as I painstakingly write it, it will be the algae chips of the sea.

That's why it was the habit of Brutal Admiral Fidelico, as well as his own prayer for victory, to acknowledge (have) a report reflecting on the state of war so far in detail and to write a voyage log.

That was over, and I sipped a sigh of ho and drank the bitter coffee all at once.

"Ah, it was a really bitter defeat"

This coffee was transported from the Anatolian Empire, an ancient power at the end of the west. Fidelico mouths a moderately sweet chocolate torcake with cocoa bean powder and brown sugar because the coffee was bitter. The rare cacao beans were obtained from the island of the African continent at the end of the south, while the brown sugar was obtained from the pope Ravenna.

Castile's wealth is as you can see. Rich supplies colour the Castilian table, which has become the midpoint of world trade.

The Union of Britannians with you, the Principality of Transhvania, which only holds a small part of the North Sea, can plunder profits like a covan shark.

The other naval states of the Eurasian continent are not enemies as long as the Kingdom of Castilia is cowing the Sea of Seyrain.

But things happened from where I never expected them to be.

Kingdom of Silesier. Though it was once an agricultural power with the largest population on the Eurasian continent, after more than two hundred and forty years the state was corrupt and the weakened Silesier was bound to be swallowed by the prints of the Germanian Empire.

At that time, the Kingdom of Castilia was also thinking of taking a little territory.

The presence of the brave Sado Takel led to the emergence of the old Silesier, who won the showdown against the Germanian Empire.

From there, Castile's calculations began to go crazy.

Initially, it was considered rather convenient. The plan was to cause civil strife in the kingdom of Silesier, which leaped as a opposing horse, to exploit the disintegration of the Germanian Empire due to economic turmoil, and to swallow the Union of Britannians with you in that gap.

However, unlike expected, the Kingdom of Silesier is not collapsed by civil strife.

From almost scratch, the invincible fleet, a symbol of Castilian prosperity, was handicapped by King General Sado Takel, who suddenly created the most advanced navy.

It is precisely the blue sky thunderbolt.

Having witnessed the power of the cannons used by the Silesier fleet in the previous naval battle, Fidelico wondered whether the Genesis had also abandoned the Kingdom of Castilia.

I can't help but mourn in heaven.

I did everything I had to do, more than I was thus in the position of commander of the fleet. And whatever you do, you're gonna win.

It's good to lose on land.

But Castile's defeat at the sea is the only thing that must never happen.

A knock sounded as Fidelico finished his sweet cake with Muschamsha and was wiping his mouth with a cloth towel.

"Get in."

"Viscount Kruna, were you here?"

That is what came in, said Levnand, a suspiciously senior magician with silver hair. He is a warrior who has defeated his Silesier opponent many times, but he is a shabby man who has risen every time.

That odd way of fighting could not accompany Fidelico, who had walked through a decent field of naval officers, but his experience and abilities were highly appreciated.

Being defeated means knowing your enemies well enough for that matter. Fidelico, who became Commander General, used the Revnants, who had been demoted, as land generals with fleets again.

Because I was aware that there was nothing I could do to win the battle against the Silesier Navy, which uses new weapons, but with the power of the regular road alone.

It is also this man who flexed the demonic tribes of the African continent, which were only in the way of the deal, and set up and executed a bizarre operation to use them as mercenaries to show them.

Rebnanto, once again pulled up by Fidelico, shows it in bold words as "a must-have secret ant".

"Call me Fleet Commander, it's Levenant. I am also in a position to keep His Majesty's fleet of Fildinants, even though my superiors have rapidly turned around in battle."

"Excuse me, Your Highness, Commander of the Fidelico Cruz Fleet."

Lebnand waved his silver-haired forehead and bowed down in a bow.

"Clear flattery is good. How can I help you?"

"I brought you a coffee change"

Sorcerer Lebnand grabs a hot cup of coffee like a trick from a void with nothing, and he humbly gives it away.

It's not even magic, it's a creepy trick. Admiral Fidelico, accustomed to this man's bizarre behavior, has a frightened face and does not receive "no boring jokes".

"It's bad for Nori," Lebnant reported, laughing thinly, sipping a classy sip of the coffee cup in his hand.

"We've discovered a patrol boat in the Silesier fleet and reported it destroyed."

"Say that quickly, finally!

Fidelico leaned back unexpectedly.

This will finally be a fleet showdown. The time has come.

"Enemy patrol boat, he said he shot a few ships, so the enemy knows where we are."

"That's where I want it too. It's not a battle to avoid."

Standing up, Fidelico cleans up the shittiness and the paperwork on his desk.

Lebnant laughs with a nymphomaniac and creepy face when he sees such a trivial admiral.

"Commander Fidelico, it is good for you that the Admiral will come to the showdown together. Compared to the previous stone head, you have a much more flexible brain."

Fidelico, who looked back at the voice, was more frightened than angry that she intended to praise him with it.

Fidelico's predecessor was a resolute and capable admiral, but a conservative with a tendency towards ink preservation.

Stuffing the Commander ahead of him in the battle of honor is a statement that can't help but be blamed for the inconvenience if it is meant to be.

But Fidelico laughs bitterly at Levenant's unsolicited remarks.

Originally, I use it because I know it's this kind of guy.

He even spared his talent that this odd sorcerer would be hated by the nobles because his mouth was too much, even though he worked.

Fidelico doesn't even suspect that his predecessor, who disliked creepy Lebnants and refused to return them to the scene as commanders, 'died in action at a time too convenient for Lebnants'.

That was more of the goodness of this admiral's man than a detour.

"I'm not happy at all that Levnand the Magician appreciates me... but now is not the time to say I'm a mage or nobleman. Castile's fate depends on this battle"

"I see, I too am a survivor of risking my life for this battle. Your Excellency, the Commander may wish to use his powers as they are. I'll do everything I can."

I set it aside ready for that, Levenant proudly adds.

Its full power and its doings are probably the kind of warcraft that is loaded onto the deck of this flagship right now and raises strange screams that are scaring the sailors.

Let the reptiles (Leptilians) manage the Warcraft cage and lay low on their allies to see what kind of monster it is and what maneuvers it will use.

Although I've seen what you're going to do, it's the same that you're not going to try to explain it by saying, "To fool your enemies, start with your allies."

Fidelico forgave all those oddities.

If you think it's a secret to win, there's nothing wrong with it.

The Virgin of Creation may not feel comfortable using the evil devil tribe for battle.

But the battle is what people do. For God's sake, sinners, we have no blessing for Arthama.

"For Your Majesty's sake, do what you can, Lebnant. I've done everything I can to command this great fleet. All you have to do is entrust yourself to heaven."

"Be sure to defeat the Silesier brave Sado Takel. That way, this battle is Castile's victory."

What Lebnand says is that every time I get the feeling of being sloppy, the bird can't be feathered in a bird basket.

Admiral Fidelico thinks to let this man do as he pleases, after the Fleet Command Office to prepare himself for the showdown.

The fleet showdown with Silesier was imminent.

Fidelico ascends to the deck (deck) of the great fleet's flourishing flagship, the Trinidad.

Going out of the boat, it was a clear day with no clouds.

The sail got windy and made a loud noise. Blessed with weather and wind, it's showdown day.

Fidelico slowly held down the Admiral's hat, which was about to be flown by the wind, and snapped, "Bless us, Virgin of Creation..." only once more in his mouth.

That's how he stretches his spine and opens his eyes quackly.

The brave martial officers are aligned on the upper deck, waiting for the Fleet Commander. The prestigious Admiral Fidelico showed his hands gently spread toward it upwards.

A showdown that betrayed the fate of my country begins now.

From off the coast of Silesier's Galley village to Britain Oshima, local humans call the 'Wave High Narrow Sea (Narrow Sea)'.

It was a great waterfront for an ambush. According to the report of the patrol boat that started it, it will just take the form of blocking the path of the invincible fleet here.

If the two don't give in, the fleet showdown will be a must.

I wonder if this battle will then also be called the Narrow Naval War.

Admiral Drake called me to look at the charts and think about it.

"Your Majesty, it looks like we're finally here."

"Ah, here comes the Invincible Fleet."

Looking at it with a telescope, a fleet appeared that just filled the horizon with sea.

So dense a fleet that it is likely to meet the ship's starboard side, that it can manoeuvre around the fleet without the ship hitting each other because of its excellent steering.

Castile's 'Blood and Gold' flag flies through the musts of the thrusting fleet with gold horizons in the red.

It was an adversarial yet undisturbed and skillful fleet and a truly grand manoeuvre. That's right, sometimes they just call me the Invincible Fleet.

It is a large fleet that progresses without a wave of objects, but it is not intimidated. Instead, it makes me laugh when I think you've come a long way to be destroyed.

"As directed by the King, we will strike the fleet against the invincible fleet on the horizontal."

"Yeah. This is, like, under the wind again... You can't even choose the wind direction, please, Drake."

Whatever the case may be, it is a thousand tonnage class wooden ship at best.

Discovering as many enemies as a bean grain compared to the Great Sea Plains is a daunting undertaking, and once as many large fleets as twenty nautical miles away, it will be far out of sight.

If the sea was covered in fog, it could be different without even noticing it for a few nautical miles.

Before the fleet showdown, you should thank Arthama for just blessing the sunny weather.

"I can't help it, king. Unfortunately, the fleet manoeuvre arm is better (wow) because the other side is highly skilled. But it would be this way waiting for the enemy in favorable circumstances."

"Exactly"

This one only crushes the enemies that have come to be destroyed by Castile.

Sometimes the wind direction is less worrying. Instead, it's convenient because that's why our enemies were pulled out of the scarecrow.

"Sometimes I wonder how many bladed soldiers can hit a cannon from the top of a ship."

"Drake, I don't care about the details, but only consider the range of the cannon."

The Silesier fleet serpentinely crosses against an invincible fleet that comes straight under the wind in a grand sail. The tactic to be taken is the so-called T-shaped method of warfare.

Beat all firepower into the head of the enemy by horizontally distributing your own forces in such a way as to whisper the direction of the enemy's path.

Destroy each enemy ship in order from the beginning. But that kind of aim is nothing more than logic on the desk.

It's easy to say a T-shaped method of warfare, but fleet control and projectile control are quite difficult. To the extent that it's a bump production by the incoming collection fleet, so it's better to have an operation than just bump into it comically.

And I guess the enemy is quite prepared and prepared because he inevitably comes in knowing that this one has the advantage of being able to unilaterally attack at a distance.

Perhaps the enemies in momentum are concentrating on breaking through the belly of this fleet, breaking it apart and destroying it.

Because the wind direction will be this way under the wind, it is also plausible that the other side will aim for a central breakthrough.

If they break through the belly of the fleet, become a riot and take a boarding (boating) tactic of war, the Castilian Navy, full of sailors on the ship, wins.

But there's tons of gunfire here, and I'm not going to allow an outdated assault. You just have to deal a deadly blow to the enemy by then.

"Rather, it's convenient for the enemy to be dense. Hey, let's skip the bastards of Castilia with the main guns economically first, King!

"I got it, Drake. All hands! The main guns are firing, if you don't grab them somewhere, they're gonna shake you down!

Drake gives instructions to fire the main gun in a way he is no longer accustomed to.

Two Magic Armstrong cannons turned around and unleashed them towards the centre of the invincible fleet. The ship rocks in great shake with a loud burst sound.

A large water column rose and a great hole was holed in the fleet of enemies visible in the distance. The large ships of the Involved Enemy are the algae chips of the sea without a single clump.

I can't tell you not to get upset about this do-flavored attack, and the enemy's morale will drop even this one shot.

For this fleet, it will be a good sight. Cheers rose from all over the ship.

If you see the power of the overwhelming main guns in front of you, you can also make people wonder if even Castile's invincible fleet can beat you.

It's just okay that this main gun is so powerful, but the recoil is too big.

If you shoot too continuously, you will overthrow no matter how large and stable the Black Cedar Army ship is.

Only one or two shots can be fired until you come into contact with the enemy.

So far, you're a weapon to boost morale.

Silesier First Fleet, one flagship Black Cedar Army ship (with two main cannon Magic Armstrong cannons), two Black Cedar Army ships (rush, exterior only on one side), four Cog ships on one Carrack ship, plus ten small galley ships, a total of eighteen

Silesier Second Fleet, Three Carracks, Twelve Cogs, eighty-two Large and Small Galley Ships, a total of ninety-seven, led by Mary the Pirate Leader

A total of one hundred and fifteen. Of course, it is inferior in quality because it is mostly an aging pirate ship, but for now the numbers are in order. All ships are also equipped with artillery.

What a huge horn of that god beast Behemoth I used for the punch corner of the Black Cedar Army ship.

Instead of considering melee warfare, I put it on to boost morale.

I can tell you that the armor made of Behemoth skin was light, durable, highly water-repellent and suitable for equipping sailors, but by the time this equipment comes to life, the damage will be enormous, so I hope it is settled before then.

The confronting Castilian Invincible Fleet is an unprecedented large fleet of more than two hundred and thirty ships, mainly large ships.

Of course, there are mountains of combatants on the deck of that ship who are used to close combat at sea.

Even if we drop forty military ships, including the most advanced Galeon ships, in the naval battle in the Gulf of Glades earlier, the bottomless power of the nation, which has further enhanced its naval power, can never be underestimated.

Because of the unlikely speed of shipbuilding, the majority of the enhanced ships are supposed to be ships that converted merchant ships to military use, but even that should make their melee capabilities awesome, since most of them are large Carrack-class ships.

It is also plainly enhanced with respect to the military ships that form the backbone of the fleet. Anyway, the number of state-of-the-art Galeon ships has increased from five to seven.

Moreover, the flagship of the invincible fleet was mounted with a large, galley line. Galeas ships that add maneuverability to the Galeon ships. It is a giant warship for combat, with the finest of Castile's advanced shipbuilding technology.

The more you defeat, the stronger you become, standing in Silesier was the beauty of Castile's invincible fleet that made you feel the will as a naval power.

"Your Majesty, it's time to start the normal shelling."

"Please, how far do you want the shelling to go with the concentrated fire?"

It is a great fleet battle that just fills the Great Sea Plains.

Instructions to each military vessel were given by the initial numerical flag (flag), but it was determined that it was not possible to allow the unfamiliar Silesier fleet to manoeuvre the fine fleet.

So in advance, with Drake's command of the flagship shelling as a signal, other military ships are supposed to start shelling as well.

So it all depends on the timing of this first shot.

Don't be in a hurry with your big fleet opponent filling the strait, attract and attract, and unleash shelling at the most effective point.

A skilled sailor, Drake's sightings were the only thing he could count on.

"All right, shoot!

At Drake's behest, gunfire sparkled from the Black Cedar Army ship and an iron shell pierced the enemy's nose.

There are many large ships, so if they are delivered, they can hit any one.

"Okay, I hit it well!

Signal the flagship shelling and fly to the invincible fleet with shelling coming from other military ships. Numerous water columns rose at sea, and enemy fleets were swallowed up amidst the smoke that was about to fall.

It would be a long way from being hit by all the bullets, but only if it serves as a barrage to the enemy fleet.

Anyway, I did a shelling exercise while repairing the ship, so the period was short. The shelling battle while fleet manoeuvres makes this a real bump.

I wondered what would happen if the bullet flew in the direction of the day after tomorrow, but this would be a good enough point. I was so impressed, but I'm glad it went well.

"All right, for this minute, don't make it a lot less numerous."

Artillery battles are battles until they collide. This one with many small ships is overwhelmingly disadvantaged if it is also a collision of ships due to the angle of impact.

If the enemy breaks through the belly of this fleet and is brought into a mixed war, we can say that the interests of the artillery are no longer completely sealed. By then, we need to decide to win.

"King, look behind you! Maryd's Second Fleet is bad!

When I look at you in a hurry, I hear a sad but beautiful song from afar.

If I thought I could hear it somewhere, it was Celestina singing. "O men of the sea, stop the hand of battle and listen to my song ~" he exclaims.

Stop the war with a song, or the princess of any galaxy.

An anomaly where you can hear a woman singing over the sounds of soldiers' anger and shelling bombings on this battlefield.

Obviously, it is an intense sonic wave with magic. This distance allows you to resist, but nearby ships are enchanted and powerless.

"Is it the peculiar magic of Celestina's enchantment (fannation)? It's still troublesome magic. Besides, it's too far from here."

Celestina Sailene of 'Enchantment', court magician of Castilia.

When exposed to its peculiar magic fluctuations, the soldier falls into a state anomaly called a charm and becomes tranced, not in a place of war.

The second fleet, eating Celestina's peculiar magic direct strike, remains silent after stopping shelling.

They also boarded intermediate and elementary sorcery divisions, with the magic of numerous flameballs (fireballs) flying in and some ships with hulls on fire as early as possible.

If we allow an undefended fleet to engage our enemies, total annihilation is imperative.

"Chancellor Nicolas, can you handle this?"

With that said, I was aware that I couldn't do it because I was too far away from my enemies. The sailboat's steering is unwieldy, even in a hiatus of fleet action, I can't move it the way I want.

There is a valid distance from this flagship when it comes to forming a field of massive countermagic (dispelmagic).

I'm guessing the opponent was in the process of calculating it and sending a ship with senior mage Celestina and the Magic Division to the rear of the second fleet as far away from this flagship as possible.

Regrettably, the admiral of the enemy is one good one. It is a precise fleet manoeuvre with a good understanding of the enemy allies' combat characteristics.

It's somewhat dangerous, but let Arre and Kaara carry every magic division of Chancellor Nicola?

Then this time, the First Fleet will have no magic defense, but the enemy will also have Levnants...

Even as we do this, there is a crisis of devastation approaching the Second Fleet,

As I was distressed, Chancellor Nicolas, with his brown beard in the sea breeze, laughed cuckoo and slapped him in the chest.

"It's okay, we have a plan. I'll take care of it, My Lord King!

"But what do we do, Prime Minister?

"I'll use this"

It was a mass of demonic jewels that Chancellor Nicola had the magicians of Silesier bring.

I once went to a mine to mine precious demon gems, but I've never seen a large chunk produce so far.

For this size, perhaps a thousand gold coins, no more... can be said to be precious and priceless gems. If I put it to auction, it is a substitute that is likely to come with a hell of a price.

Well, if it's a giant magic stone, it's going to bring out a lot of magic.

"Well, now you're going to amplify your magic and expand your range of countermagic (dispelmagic)."

"No, although the interfering area of countermagic (dispelmagic) itself cannot be extended any further no matter how magical it is. I'll actually do it and put it in for you to see, so watch."

Chancellors Nicola and the Sorcery Division began to encircle the demonic gems from the six directions and perform the magic of dispelmagic while marking them with their hands.

Demonic gems that increase radiance and emit strong light in seven colors.

"The properties of the giant demon gem have been fixed to countermagic (dispelmagic). You pack this in the main cannon, you go over there and shoot it in!

"I see, you've thought about it! If you shoot magic into a magic stone, can you hit the field with more powerful countermagic (Dispel Magic)?"

Chancellor Nicolas nods in his complacency. Offensively unleashes the disabling magic that is originally used for defense, this is an innovative idea.

Should it also be named as a dispelmagic cannon?

"All right, Drake, please. Shoot this demon jewel in with the main cannon. I don't know where we're going."

"Oops, that's the heart of that fucking song!

A demonic gem filled with dispelmagic magic radiated toward the Galeon ship that Celestina would be aboard.

Magic Armstrong, the main cannon of the Black Cedar Army ship, fired heavenly gems, bursting over the enemy fleet.

Fragments of scattered demonic gems scattered sparkling and seven-colored light to enclose the enchantment (funnation) magic of the Enemy's Magic Division and Celestina. The enchanting confusion that struck the Silesier Second Fleet converges at short notice.

The second fleet, which regained control with a single hairline of total annihilation, resumes shelling at an imminent enemy in front of him when he rebuilds the fleet.

"But you've come up with such a bold approach"

Shelley thought of that.

As if in his own way, Chancellor Nicolas gave him a favorable smile as he hand-rubbed his brown beard.

I see, I can understand Shelley's thoughts.

Even if she doesn't have magic herself, Shelley is a "Hear One and Know Ten" minuscule genius (cheat).

I guess it's easy to combine modern knowledge learned from me with magical knowledge learned from Chancellor Nicolas to devise new weapons.

But I would never think of the boldness, the asshole, of disposing of a precious chunk of demon jewellery equal to a thousand gold coins at all costs. It can be described as sherry-like grandeur, a leading speculator.

Awesome idea... but more than that, the waste of gold is tremendous. Wouldn't that girl really be too much and bankrupt one day?
