Chapter 1879 Battle of the North Sea (25)

When the Rockefeller Kingdom fleet gradually approached the Navy Branch, the Navy Branch finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

Faced with the aggressive enemy, they felt like they were facing a great enemy. Although they were a little scared, they still decided to rise up and resist.

As a result, some old cannons were urgently pushed onto the artillery platform. Although these cannons were very old, they were still the only defensive weapons of the naval branch.

The gunners hurriedly took their positions, ready to fire at the Rockefeller Kingdom fleet on the sea.

With an order, the cannons roared deafeningly and shells rained down on the Rockefeller Kingdom fleet.

Frustratingly, this round of shelling was not very effective.

All the shells fell in front of the Rockefeller Kingdom fleet, hundreds of meters away from the target, and could not pose any threat to the enemy at all.

A lieutenant colonel standing on the command platform watched this scene with his face flushed with anger.

He roared angrily at the artillery in front of him: "What's wrong with your artillery!"

The gunners operating the cannons looked desperate. They looked at the lieutenant colonel helplessly and explained, "Lieutenant colonel, our cannons have a limited range and can't reach them at all!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, making the marines in the surrounding artillery batteries look despair.

At this desperate moment, a dramatic scene happened.

The artillery on the Rockefeller Kingdom's warship was like being cast by magic, and quickly locked onto the artillery of the Navy branch.

"fire!"

Following the roars of the captains of each fleet, the artillery batteries that had been on high alert for an instant erupted with dazzling flames.

One shell after another streaked across the night sky like meteors, shooting towards the naval branch's artillery positions at an astonishing speed.

In an instant, the sound of cannons roared, the earth shook, and the entire sea was shrouded in this shocking scene.

The shells hit the target accurately, and flames suddenly shot up into the sky from the naval branch's artillery position. The shock wave of the explosion blew the naval soldiers on the artillery position high up like kites with broken strings.

Flames engulfed the naval branch's gun turrets, and thick smoke rose up, as if the whole world was on fire at this moment.

"Ashore!"

On the Ice Queen, Esdeath's face was as gloomy as water, and her voice was like frost in the cold night, cold and decisive.

This order was quickly transmitted to all fleets via radio waves, and the captains of each fleet executed the order without hesitation.

"Ashore!"

With shouts, the Rockefeller Kingdom's fleet quickly approached the shore of the naval branch like a group of hungry sharks.

At this tense moment, the Rockefeller Kingdom showed their well-trained side. The fleet's docking movements were uniform and there was no chaos at all.

A round of accurate shooting from the Rockefeller Kingdom directly destroyed the resistance of the Navy branch.

The naval branch's artillery position was reduced to ruins in the explosion, and the once solid defense collapsed in an instant.

The Rockefeller Kingdom's fleet easily docked at the naval branch without encountering any resistance.

"Attack and take down the Marine branch!"

The captains of each fleet stood at the bow of the ship with their swords in hand, looking heroic. Their eyes were like burning flames, fixed firmly on the direction of the naval branch.

Following this loud shout, the soldiers of the Rockefeller Kingdom launched a final charge towards the Navy branch with great momentum like a surging torrent.

"Kill!"

Accompanied by deafening shouts of killing, thousands of Rockefeller Kingdom Marines, who were on high alert, rushed towards the Navy Branch like a surging tide.

In an instant, gunshots rang out, as dense as popping beans, and the sound of swords clashing also rang out one after another in the port.

Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, the remaining sailors of the naval branch were panicked, but they reacted quickly, picked up their swords and guns, and fought desperately to resist the invasion of the Rockefeller Kingdom army.

The gap in strength between the two sides was too great. Although these navies fought bravely, their resistance seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the powerful military force of the Rockefeller Kingdom.

In just a moment, the remaining sailors of the naval branch were defeated and in a mess.

Their defenses quickly collapsed under the fierce attack of the Rockefeller Kingdom's army, and the soldiers fled in all directions, completely losing their organization and fighting spirit.

At this time, Esdeath just stood quietly at the bow, watching the fierce battle on the island coldly.

Her eyes were cold and sharp, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

When her eyes swept across the gun barrel that was blown across the harbor, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile.

"It's actually a muzzle-loading cannon! The North Sea Navy is truly weak!"

Esdeath's voice was filled with disdain and ridicule.

She looked at the outdated weapons in the hands of the navy branch's navy and couldn't help feeling a sense of superiority.

These weapons were simply vulnerable and had no power to fight back when faced with the sophisticated equipment in the hands of the Rockefeller Kingdom.

"Is this what Dad always said, that falling behind will lead to a beating?"

Esdeath murmured to herself, her eyes gradually becoming deeper.

She began to think about the meaning behind this war and the importance of strength to a country and a nation.

A naval branch that could accommodate thousands of naval soldiers was quickly captured by the Rockefeller Kingdom in just one hour.

This once impregnable naval base is now occupied by the Rockefeller Kingdom, with its flag flying high on the highest point of the island, as if announcing their victory to the world.

"General, the Marine branch has been successfully captured!"

The deputy excitedly reported to Esdeath.

Esdeath nodded expressionlessly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

He looked around at the conquered naval branch and felt a sense of accomplishment.

"very good."

Esdeath's voice was deep and powerful.

"Leave a thousand sailors stationed on this island to restore and upgrade its defenses. From today on, this island will become the Rockefeller Kingdom's first naval base in the North Sea!"

The surrounding generals responded in unison: "Yes!"

Their voices were in unison, full of obedience and respect for Esdeath's orders.

Capturing this first naval branch island entering the North Sea is of great significance to the navy of the Rockefeller Kingdom.

This was not only a military victory, but also a test of the North Sea Navy's strength.

Through this battle, the Rockefeller Kingdom's navy deeply realized the huge gap between the North Sea Navy and the Grand Line Navy.
