Chapter 1871 Battle of the North Sea (7)
The vortex was like a ferocious beast, opening its bloody mouth and devouring everything mercilessly.
Many marines lost their balance in the panic and fell from the warship into the sea.
They struggled desperately in the rough sea, but debris kept falling from overhead and hit them like raindrops. Some people were hit directly and died on the spot in the sea.
As the ship was about to sink, a huge vortex formed on the sea.
This vortex was like a bottomless pit, ruthlessly sucking in the marines who fell on the sea surface, and then quickly taking them into the deep sea, where they disappeared without a trace.
This sudden bombardment caught the branch navy completely off guard.
Of the five ships, one had begun to sink, and the other two were surrounded by raging fire. The marines on the ships were scrambling to put out the fire, and the scene was in chaos.
On the remaining two warships, the marines became increasingly panicked. Although someone loudly ordered the marines not to panic, these shouts seemed pale and powerless in such a critical situation.
However, this is just the beginning.
When the order for the second round of artillery fire was given, the prepared gunners pulled the bolt again without hesitation.
The next second, there was a deafening roar, and fierce artillery fire gushed out from the muzzle like a roaring beast.
The shells cut through the air like lightning, speeding away at an astonishing speed, as if to tear the entire sky apart.
In the blink of an eye, the shell accurately hit a warship, and the landing point of the shell happened to be where the warship's ammunition depot was hidden!
This is undoubtedly a devastating blow.
As the shells fell, the rumbling sound of the explosion was like a bomb exploding in the ears, instantly piercing the deck of the warship.
Below the deck, the shells piled up in the warehouse by the marines were instantly ignited like a lit powder barrel.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, and the raging flames were like a ferocious fire dragon, devouring everything with its fangs and claws.
The powerful explosion shock wave was like a tsunami, creating invisible ripples in the air and spreading in all directions.
In this violent explosion, the warship was blown into the sky in an instant like a kite with a broken string.
Many of the marines on the warship had no time to react before the shock wave shattered their internal organs and sent them flying involuntarily.
In an instant, limbs were shattered and broken arms and legs flew everywhere like raindrops. The bloody scene was unbearable to watch.
The powerful explosion shock wave not only destroyed the warship, but also caused the two nearby warships to suffer strong aftermath.
The two warships were severely tilted by the violent impact of the shock wave, and their hulls were shaking and about to sink into the sea.
On the rough sea, a huge warship is facing an unprecedented crisis.
The hundreds of marines on board were terrified. They climbed up desperately, trying to escape the impending disaster and seek a chance of survival.
However, the terrible shock wave of the explosion was like a ferocious beast, devouring everything mercilessly.
At this thrilling moment, the branch colonel who had originally planned to call for help didn't even have time to take out the Den Den Mushi before he was instantly blown to ashes by the huge power of the explosion and disappeared without a trace, as if he had never existed.
As the warship where the branch colonel was stationed was blown away, the other marines instantly lost their command and their backbone collapsed.
They were like a group of headless flies, running around in all directions, completely losing their direction and goals.
However, no matter how they ran, they looked around and saw only the endless ocean, and there was no place to escape.
At this time, these Marines had no way to go up to heaven or down to earth, and could only wait for death to come in despair.
And when the third cannon shot was fired, the whistling shell sounded like the roar of death, which made people shudder.
The Marines who heard this voice all showed despair on their faces.
Amidst desperate shouts and cries, many Marines were ruthlessly engulfed by the blazing sea of fire and the violent shock waves.
With just three gunshots, the naval force of about a thousand people and five warships was completely wiped out, and all this took only ten minutes.
The warships of the Rockefeller Kingdom were thousands of meters away and had a panoramic view of all of this.
With their powerful firepower and precise bombardment, they effortlessly destroyed the enemy, demonstrating unparalleled strength and majesty.
It was like a cat teasing a mouse, and that was indeed the case. The six powerful warships, like hunters, took turns firing their cannons, with ferocious firepower.
However, after only three rounds of shelling, the five old warships in front were completely destroyed and turned into burning ruins.
Such a record was a piece of cake for the warships of the Rockefeller Kingdom and posed no challenge at all.
They were like a group of invincible beasts, easily tearing apart those vulnerable old warships.
This crushing victory made the sailors of the Rockefeller Kingdom feel a little bored and uninterested.
The gap in strength between these warships is really too big. The local warships in the North Sea are almost 30 or 40 years behind.
For the experienced captains of the Rockefeller Kingdom, fighting against such an opponent lacked the excitement and fun of modern naval warfare.
"Huh? There are actually navy ships!"
At this moment, Esdeath, standing in the war room, suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
Her eyes passed through the glass in front of her and stared closely at the back of the warship that was burning into a sea of fire.
There, there was actually an ironclad ship and two sailing ships hidden.
As Esdeath looked over, the ironclad ship and the two sailing ships stood out against the backdrop of the raging flames.
They seemed to have survived this fierce naval battle, but they didn't know what fate would await them next.
Behind the five burning and sinking warships, three naval warships flying the flag of the North Sea Governor's Office were quietly parked in the distance.
Standing at the bow of the leading ironclad ship was Major General Sas, one of the three major generals in the North Sea.
He stood tall and majestic, but at this moment, his face revealed an expression of incredible astonishment.
Major General Sas was ordered by Lieutenant General Damon to come and check if there were any abnormalities in this sea area.
He held a telescope, his eyes fixed on the six warships approaching in the distance.
These warships had unique shapes, very different from the style of the North Sea Fleet he was familiar with, which made him wary.
