Chapter 659: What are the Yan people doing?

Saint Easter quickly put his revenge plan against Yan Kingdom into action. He dispatched the navy in a very short time and chose the [Giant Whale Fleet] as the punitive force.

This is a huge fleet with a size one and a half times that of the Sea Lion Fleet. Its main ship, the "Giant Whale", is the highest achievement of the Hungarian navy in recent years. In terms of size, it is even slightly larger than a first-class battleship. Saint Easter calls it a super-first-class battleship.

In fact, the research and development of the "Giant Whale" began secretly five years ago. During these five years, Saint Easter allocated a huge amount of money and required shipbuilders to build the largest and most powerful battleship in the world today. The original goal was to surpass the first-class battleship of the neighboring country of Sari.

With the financial allocation, the shipbuilders lived up to expectations and successfully built this super first-class battleship. The [Giant Whale] can now carry 148 guns. When it is fully fired, the shipbuilders believe that it can easily destroy first-class battleships. As for those small and medium-sized battleships, they can be sunk to the bottom of the sea without any effort. A [Giant Whale] alone is equivalent to a fleet formed by a small country.

Although the army's expenditure had been cut in order to build such a super-class battleship, Saint Easter believed it was worth it. After all, the Sari Kingdom was the overlord of the Leon continent today, and the status of this behemoth was almost unshakable.

The vast ocean is worth fighting for, so Saint Easter attached great importance to the new continent of Yan Kingdom. After the lessons of the South China Sea War, Saint Easter did not select a marshal from his family this time, but chose Federich, who had more experience in naval battles and had made many military achievements.

After the appointment ceremony, a large amount of military supplies were transported from the arsenal to the port of Celad, where the "Giant Whale" was anchored. The giant ship had just completed its launching ceremony three months ago. In fact, this would be its first sea operation.

With a large amount of financial allocation and countless people working day and night to design and build the ship, Saint Easter is looking forward to the "Giant Whale" achieving an impressive record in the next expedition. It must not only successfully defeat the Yan Kingdom Navy, but also make a beautiful appearance in front of other countries.

Before Federici was about to leave the capital, Mishkowell, and go to Port Serrad, Saint Este solemnly warned him:

"Federici, take the Great Whale and turn the South China Sea upside down!"

"The despicable Yanguo people have deprived us Huns of our lives. We must demand our lives back from them! Fire our cannons into their warships and kill all their people!"

"Bring our wrath over there and destroy them completely!"

In addition, he warned in a deep voice: "Keep an eye on those sea cucumbers. If they try to escape during the battle this time, our anger will spread to their country!"

So, with Saint Easter's instructions, Frederick rushed to Port Serrad.

By mid-to-late July, after intensive arrangements, the fleets of Luxembourg and Hungary were finally ready. They set sail as planned and headed for the Roman Islands on the high seas, which was the agreed rendezvous point.

As the name suggests, the high seas are not part of any country's territory and are not under the sovereignty of any country. They are free seas for equal common use by all countries. However, the Roman Islands are almost the territory of the Sardars. Not only are there many Sardars living there, but several large trading ports have also been built.

In addition to these ports, there are also a large number of military supplies on the Roman Islands. They would not be used in the past, but in wartime they can continuously provide supplies to the Sari fleet.

Because of the launch of the military campaign against the Yan Kingdom, the Roman Islands have now become a base station for various countries to sail. The closest country to the Roman Islands is the Sari Kingdom, and their pre-war preparations are also the fastest, so the [Dawn Fleet] and the [Pearl Fleet] have already been waiting for orders in the Roman Islands.

Clement, whose heart was completely consumed by revenge, did not rest in Garnate. He was one of the first non-commissioned officers to arrive at the Roman Islands. After arriving at the Roman Islands, Clement was not idle either. He spent the whole day inspecting armaments and coordinating dispatches to ensure that the voyage was foolproof.

He had experienced two storms on his way back from Yan Country. Now he was going again in summer, and the weather at sea was changeable. He might encounter strong winds and heavy rains again. He had to ensure that the fleet would not suffer losses due to natural disasters during the voyage.

In the midst of this busyness, Clemento waited for the Hungarian fleet to arrive.

It was a calm evening. The giant whale fleet sailed from the port of Serrad, entered the waters where the Roman Islands were located under the command of Federici, and then gradually docked at the East Port.

Not long after, Federico met Clemento under the guidance of the Sari soldiers.

"Clemento...you...how did you become like this?" Federici was shocked when he saw Clemento. He really couldn't imagine that the man in front of him with sunken eye sockets, thin cheeks, pale face and almost bloodless face was the Clemento he knew.

In fact, he and Clemento were old acquaintances. Both were famous naval generals in their respective countries. In the past, the two had not only come into contact but also had conflicts at sea. However, as the country of Sari became increasingly powerful and its naval power became stronger, there had long been no war between the two countries. Therefore, the relationship between the two had not only been eased, but also reached the point of mutual appreciation.

“It’s been like this since I came back.”

"Please sit down, my friend." A smile appeared on Clemento's pale face. He picked up the bottle, uncorked it and started pouring the wine.

"I can imagine what you've been through." Federich took off his hat, pulled over a chair and sat down, his face looking a little heavy.

After pouring the wine, Clemento sat in the chair and pushed the glass toward him, saying, "It was a disaster."

"And I... am considered a lucky man." He picked up the wine glass and saluted Federici.

The same thing happened to Federici. After taking a big gulp of wine, he wiped the foam from his mouth and shook his head and said:

"You shouldn't have come on this voyage."

"You should get some rest."

The sweet and cold wine did not make Clemento feel cool. Instead, he felt hot. So he took off his military uniform and hung it on the back of the chair, and said in a deep voice:

"I have to come. This is my mission."

"Those damn Yan countrymen raised their knives and chopped off the heads of my soldiers one by one. They were treated like pigs and all of them died."

"Now their lost lives are on my shoulders, I need to give them an explanation!"

"I have to do this. I will go to Yan Country in person and watch those bastards die in front of me! And I must personally get that man's head back to my homeland." As he said this, his pale face gradually turned red.

Federici understood his anger. In his impression, Clemento was a proud naval marshal who was extremely responsible, but that battle almost destroyed everything he had.

So Federico nodded, silently picked up the wine on the table, and refilled his and Clemento's glasses.

The two drank again, and then Federici suddenly said:

"Clemento, I hope this incident won't affect your subsequent judgment."

“Of course not,” Clemento replied directly.

Federici looked at his face and was still a little worried, but he knew that it was useless to say more, so he changed the subject:

"It's been several months since that battle. What do you think the Yan people are doing now?"
