In order not to lose touch with the trend, the Owari clan also rushed to build some coastal defenses.

Needless to say, considering their long-term treasury deficit, it would be crazy if they could do something famous.

The coastal defense established by the Owari Domain was nothing more than setting up a few symbolic sentries along the coast to monitor the sea surface at all times and report immediately if an unknown ship was sighted.

There is not even a trace of real coastal defense equipment such as shore guns and battleships.

To say that it is "just an appearance" is to praise the Owari Clan.

Tonight, the vassal soldiers at the "Coastal Defense Post" were fishing as usual.

Eat, drink, chat, and have a great time.

There won’t be any unidentified ships on the sea anyway, so why bother working hard?

If the Western powers came, their first target would definitely be Edo, and they would not pay any attention to this place.

Just when the sentries were enjoying themselves, someone suddenly spotted a strange shadow appearing on the sea out of the corner of his eye.

"Eh...? Hey! Look! Is there a boat there?"

"Ship? Are you drunk? It's already this time, how can there be a ship coming?"

"Did you mistake the whale for a boat?"

Although the others were laughing at the man, they still stopped eating, drinking and playing, took out their binoculars and looked towards the sea.

The dark sea surface...they found nothing but deep darkness.

"Where is the boat... You must have drunk too much..."

Wuwuwu——!

In an instant...the unique sharp whistling sound of flying cannonballs dominated the entire coast!

Boom!!

A terrifying explosion sounded immediately.

"What, what's going on!"

"Bombardment! It's shelling!"

"Artillery, shelling...? Why is there shelling?"

"Fool! Do you even need to ask? An enemy is coming!"

"Report to the superiors quickly!"

The sentry post built on the seaside suddenly became chaotic.

"Hey! Look! It's a boat! I saw that right! It really is a boat!"

The first person who noticed something strange pointed toward the sea - and saw that the sea, which had been calm just now, became extremely noisy.

The three steamships cut through the waves and sailed straight to the coast of Owari Domain!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Along with the dull sound, orange-red light repeatedly appeared on the sides of the three warships.

The next breath, raindrops of cannonballs fell towards the coast!

In an instant, the sentry on the shore was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire...
