The Unsullied had just fixed the bronze door when a whistle suddenly sounded in the distance.

Everyone looked up and saw a burst of black clouds rising from the horizon in the distance.

After looking carefully, I realized that it was not a black cloud at all, but billowing black smoke.

Under the black clouds formed by black smoke is a huge steel fleet.

All the warships are painted in pitch black and are arranged in a row, as dark as mountains.

"So many steel battleships? A fleet of the Imperial Royal Navy? What are they here for?"

Zhang Tuohai stared at the huge fleet.

He is no longer worried about seeing a fleet of this level.

With 12 flying warships as trump cards, he is really not afraid of these ironclads.

Whether it is precision guided bombs or rockets, they are the nemesis of this ironclad ship.

Even one thermobaric bomb can destroy an entire fleet.

Therefore, he is not worried about meeting the armored fleet, but is looking forward to it.

"Catch a few tongues and ask about the empire's recent trends. The commander of such a fleet should be able to contact the top brass of the empire, right?"

Analysis by Zhang Tuohai.

Zhang Tuohai adjusted the direction of the White Bird and rushed towards the armored fleet.

……

As an imperial earl and an admiral of the Royal Navy, Vincent could have just stayed in the officers' club every day, drank tea and played cards.

What pulled him out from the warm fireplace was the emperor's handwriting.

"When the empire is at peace, why do we still need to send a fleet to patrol? It is really unnecessary."

Vincent was very dissatisfied with this job.

If it weren't for the emperor's order, who would be willing to break away from the stripper's arms and run to the sea to be beaten by wind and rain?

Moreover, Mr. Vincent, who is used to sailing battleships, hates the smell of soot from ironclad ships.

The thick soot reminded him of the bad air in the imperial capital.

What he wants to do most now is to find a port to stop, and then take a good bath to get rid of the smell.

"What's ahead?" Vincent asked, raising his telescope.

"Mr. Earl, ahead is the Golden Oak Island." An adjutant said.

"Golden Oak Island? I remember there was a tall golden oak tree somewhere, right? Why can't I see it?" Vincent looked at the telescope for a long time, but he couldn't find the tall golden oak tree in his memory.

"Did we get lost?" the adjutant guessed.

"No, I have been walking this road for decades, and I will never go wrong. I can swear on my life." The navigator said quickly.

"But why can't I see the golden oak tree?"

Vincent asked coldly.

"There is a ship there, how about we arrest the captain and ask what's going on?"

The adjutant's eyes lit up and he pointed to a three-masted sailboat not far away.

"Well, send a ship over." Vincent nodded.

"Yes!" The adjutant took the order and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the navigator shouted: "Look, what is that?"

Several people looked in the direction of his finger, and twelve steel ships slowly flew toward them from the sky.

"What is that thing? How can there be a ship flying in the sky?"

The navigator asked in shock.

"Mirage, isn't this a common sight at sea? What's the fuss about?"

The adjutant said nonchalantly.

"But, mirages have never appeared here."

The navigator argued.

"It has never happened before, will it never happen again?"

The adjutant retorted.

"Why is there no royal emblem on this ship?"

Vincent frowned as he looked at the ships.

The empire's newly built ironclads are very particular, and will have the royal emblem hanging on the bow of the ship.

This is the rule of the Imperial Navy.

However, these battleships do not have badges.

This is definitely not an Imperial ship.

"Is it possible that a certain force can also build ironclads? It's impossible. No city-state in the empire can build enough steel plants. It's also impossible to coordinate 100 industrial departments and coordinate tens of thousands of experienced and technical construction workers.

."

"Whose warships belong to them?"

"It seems that the empire should really patrol its borders. In recent years, the empire has been too peaceful, making these barbarians forget the majesty of the empire."

Vincent frowned and decided that when he arrived at Golden Oak Island, he would send someone to find out who had the technology to build an ironclad ship.

This is the foundation of the empire.

He will never allow this to happen!

At this moment, those flying battleships arrived above the armored ship, and then the bomb bay slowly opened, revealing the dark-painted bombs inside.

"Something doesn't seem right. This doesn't seem to be a mirage."

The more Vincent looked at it, the more real it felt. His back gradually became cold, and an unpleasant feeling arose in his heart.

"This can't be true, right?"

Whoosh——whoosh——whoosh——

The precision-guided bomb removed the whistle installed on the iron bomb. When it was dropped, there was no sharp whistling sound, only the sound of friction with the air.

The momentum is much lower than that of the iron bomb, but the accuracy has been qualitatively improved.

The first precision-guided bomb accurately hit the open turret of the ironclad ship.

Boom!

An orange-red fireball rose from the turret.

Then, the turret flew out, and a large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters was torn out on the deck.

Immediately afterwards, the second precision-guided bomb was thrown down the big hole and fell into the magazine under the turret.

Boom!

A cloud of mushrooms rose from the cabin, and the huge explosion directly destroyed the bow of the ship. A large amount of seawater poured into the hull, and the stern of the ship was pressed up, and the hull began to capsize.

"The flagship is under attack!"

Only then did the people on the ship realize that the invincible armored fleet, the great Royal Navy, had actually been attacked.

Moreover, it is an attack from the sky.

During their two-year training, they started by cleaning the officers' shoes and learned all the skills on the ship, but they did not learn how to deal with the enemies in the sky.

The worst part is that the ship is now starting to sink and everyone is in a mess.

Some people want to return to their jobs, some want to escape, some want to jump into the sea, some want to rescue the lifeboat, and some want to save Vincent. Come and save him.

With the power of driving, you will be able to achieve great success when you return to land.

Everyone is running around like headless flies.

The low-level commander's whistle no longer works, and the ship is a mess.

The ironclads surrounding the flagship want to come to the rescue.

But they were also attacked by flying battleships.

After having the attack example of the first flying battleship, the remaining flying battleships followed suit and launched attacks on those open turrets.

Groups of orange-red fireballs rose in the armored fleet.
