972 Z1 Type Warship Shows Its Strength (1/2)

Chapter 972 – Z1 Type Warship Shows Its Strength

The Indian Ocean Region near Java was where storms happened frequently; a storm could occur at any time.

11th month, 16th day; this day would make this ocean region special due to a carefully planned ocean battle. The Java Badong Squadron had set a trap to surround the Emperor Squadron.

200 turreted warships, 500 Mengchong Warships, and thousands of Cima boats formed up into a huge ocean fleet. They covered the ocean surface, making one look out in awe.

Above the Badong Squadron.

Java Lord Uwais stood on top of the deck; he felt really free and smiled, ”The Great Xia Squadron is not as scary as the rumors have it. They still got easily surrounded by us; let's see how they are going to run.”

When the general beside him heard these words, he agreed, ”Lord is wise and brave; the Great Xia Squadron is useless.” Those who did not know would think that the Badong Squadron had already won the war.

'Haha~'

Uwais wanted to use this battle to suppress Shantha and the others who desired peace.

...

Seeing the Badong Squadron surround them, Gan Ning was really calm and did not panic as he moved the squadron formation. 40 Z1 Type Warships spread out once more into a row, forming the standard Man O' War formation.

Each one of them opened up the cannon cabins and revealed their fangs.

'Hong! Hong! Hong!'

Along with the cannons firing, although the scene was really astonishing, the battle was not really exciting.

The two sides engaged one another. You shoot one, I shoot one; it was just like two boxers fighting one another. There were no moves or strokes, and it was just them hitting one another until one side totally fell.

This time, the might of the Z1 Type Warship was displayed. The 90 new cannons were like fire dragons that swallowed up one enemy ship after another.

Be it the might of the cannon or the cannon density, the Emperor Squadron was far superior to the Badong Squadron.

With that, in less than an hour, after the battle started, although the Java Squadron had the numerical advantage, they were slowly pushed onto the back foot.

What a miraculous sight.

At this very moment, the originally calm ocean surface was swept up by huge waves, and the sky blue sky turned gloomy and lightning instantly struck. It seemed like a huge ocean storm was about to arrive.

It was like the ocean surface was boiling. Bobbing up and down, numerous warships floated around from the huge waves; they were unable to control their own fates.

One huge wave swept across and a Cima boat was toppled, and there were even Mengchong Warships that were toppled. Only the turreted warships and Z1 Type Warships were able to avoid such a fate.

”Damn it, why are we so unlucky?”

Uwais grabbed onto the barrier for dear life as he cursed.

Getting hits by such waves, not to mention aiming at the enemy, the Badong Squadron could not even fire. Their accuracy rate greatly decreased, and they could not pose any threat toward the Emperor Squadron.

Even to say that one huge wave caused the warship to shift and the cannon that had aimed at the enemy shifted toward their own warship.

The entire Badong Squadron was in chaos.

At this very moment, the storm that was festering for long arrived, affecting the commanding of the Badong Squadron. Now, it was like the entire squadron was paralyzed.

The Emperor Squadron that was surrounded was a miraculous sight.

Being protected by Mazu, the Great Xia squadron's ability to weather storms exceeded that of anyone else. Although this storm was intense, it could not be compared to the first storm they faced during the previous voyage.
