Chapter 39 : The Decline of A Superpower (Soviet-Parpaldian War 5)

Parpaldia Empire, Main Navy Forces, 3rd fleet, ship-of-the-line Addis

"The enemy has fired their cannon!!!"

Even though they were still 20 km away from the enemy ship, Soviet warship fired on them. The captain turned to the commander

Captain: They're still that far away from us but they fired their cannons... for what purpose? Is it a show of force?

Commander: I can't understand it at all. Even if their cannons have a longer range than ours, we're clearly still too far out

They felt a slight sense of foreboding. It was a feeling they had never had before on any battlefield, a gut feeling of imminent death

Captain: Hard to starboard! Just in case, we should take evasive action!

At the captain's order, the ship-of-the-line Addis languidly changed orientation. Suddenly, the ship shook violently.

There was an explosion. Various debris rained down on the captain and commander, including some human parts mixed in.

"Damage to the rear hull! There's a breach near the waterline!"

A large hole had opened up on the left side of the Addis's hull, quickly taking in water

Captain: This... This is bad!!!

The Addis began to tilt, having suddenly been flooded with water.

Captain: It can't hold! Abandon sh...

The captain's words were drowned out by a burst of light and noise. Inside the capsizing ship, a large number of explosives were set off, inducing an explosion that erased the empire's ship-of-the-line Addis from existence

Parpaldia Empire, 3rd fleet, flagship Dios

"Ship-of-the-line Addis lost! We've... analyzed the enemy ship's attack! They have a range of over 20 kilometers, and they hit us with only a single attack!!!"

Arkaon: W... wwww... what was that?! 20 kilometers?! They have a cannon range of over 20 kilometers?! That's 10 times our range...... Plus they hit one of our ships in only one shot?! If we wanted to hit a moving target, we'd have to fire a hundred times at a distance of two kilometers!!!

Officers 4: Their accuracy at 20 kilometers surpasses ours at 2 kilometers with a hundred attacks. So what happens when we're within two kilometers? In any case, we shouldn't jump to conclusions after just one attack

Arkaon: The enemy's cannon has enough power to sink a ship-of-the-line with only a single attack. They may simply have far more firepower than we can possibly imagine!

The officers were shocked at the enemy's might, and they began to feel hopeless at their far superior capabilities. While they were discussing, another three ships-of-the-line had been sunk with only a single attack each

Officers 5: Our dragon knights will arrive above the enemy ships any second now

Arkaon: We're counting on you......

Admiral Arkaon placed all his hopes on the dragon knights' assault

Parpaldia Empire, 3rd fleet, dragon knight order

Dyros: I found them!!!

Having received direction from 3rd fleet command, the 250-strong dragon knight order spotted a fleet above the horizon. Having never seen anything so big or fast, they were completely stressed out. The enemy fleet was unconcerned with the fact that they were around 20 km away from the empire's fleet and fired their cannons, sinking a friendly ship. They didn't even use that "arrow of light" that was reportedly extraordinarily fast and precise.
