The "Blue Sword Anti-Tank Missile" slung under the drone was actually far from powerful enough to take on a warship.
If an Anti-Tank Missile's damage is 200, then these towering steel fortresses on the sea would have at least 20,000 hit points!
But the target Lu Yao aid at, the "Sai Kyomaru," looked formidable but was in fact a rchant ship converted from the Izumo fleet.
It had been commandeered before the war and retrofitted with ship cannons to serve as a makeshift cruiser.
One could imagine its defensive capabilities, but it was just right as the first target for practice.
Lu Yao pressed the lock button on the joystick and then started making fine adjustnts using the other two small buttons.
The locking system of the "Rainbow-5" drone first locked onto the general target, then through fine-tuning, decided which part to strike.
He targeted the midsection of the ship and pressed the launch button.
With a sharp whoosh, a "Blue Sword Anti-Tank Missile" fired at a subsonic speed of 300 ters per second, hitting its target with precision.
The rchant ship's defenses were simply too weak. The Anti-Tank Missile pierced through the deck and penetrated the ammunition store!
The missile's warhead emitted a violent, high-temperature, high-pressure jet of tal, resulting in a blinding, deafening sympathetic detonation!
Amidst the massive flas soaring into the sky, the "Sai Kyomaru" was like a ham bitten in the middle, its hull with a big hole, slowly sinking into the sea bottom with thick smoke billowing from it.
Countless tiny figures scread in panic, like ants desperately howling, then were sucked into the seabed by the whirlpool created by the sinking ship.
~~~~~~~~~~
After a successful opening move, Lu Yao was quite satisfied and continued to look for the next target.
At this mont, he was unaware that on the "Sai Kyomaru" he used for practice, there was a very important person:
The Chief of Naval Operations of the Izumo—Kigayama Ziki.
It was this man who had masterminded this naval battle, aiming to annihilate the living forces of the Shun Dynasty navy and seize control of the seas.
To demonstrate his samurai spirit, he boarded the "Sai Kyomaru" to supervise the battle. However, he was imdiately forced to flee in a panic, frantically calling for reinforcents from allied ships.
In Blue Star, this man managed to escape by a fluke, but in the Otherworld, he wasn't so lucky and ended up in the belly of the fish.
~~~~~~~~~
At this mont, both fleets poured their firepower into each other's flagships, the "Dingyuan" and "Matsushima."
Sinking the enemy's flagship would not just eliminate a huge threat, but also cause the enemy to lose command.
But flagships, often the ships with the greatest tonnage and strongest defenses, are not so easily sunk, making the battle fierce.
However, the Izumo fleet had gradually completed the encirclent, and the Zhenhai's decline beca evident.
Lu Yao had his sights set on the "Itsukushima."
This warship was one of the "Three Scenic Battleships" designed by the Frandi designer Bai Lao Yi for the Izumo Navy to counter the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" of the Zhenhai Naval Brigade.
It was equipped with a 320mm main cannon for taking on the 356mm thick iron armor of "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan."
The mouth of the main cannon was so large that a person could crawl inside. When fired, its roar was imnse, and it vomited flas and thick smoke that covered much of the ship's body.
At this mont, the "Itsukushima" was furiously unleashing its firepower, having been hit by 8 cannonballs with over 30 casualties. Since vital parts were not damaged, it looked wretched but could still fight.
So, Lu Yao went in for the kill.
~~~~~~~~~
His drone's attack, while limited in damage and ammunition capacity, was a top-down assault that was extrely precise.
```
So Lu Yao had set his strategy early in the morning—using precise top-attack missiles to disable the enemy warship's main guns.
Turning them all into toothless snakes, he would then slowly simr them to submission.
At that mont, Lu Yao locked onto the "Itsukushima" and its 320mm main gun turret, firing a missile.
An anti-tank missile, trailing flas, hit the turret with unerring accuracy. The turret armor was a hefty 300mm, but the anti-tank missile from Xia Country could penetrate 1400mm!
A high-temperature, high-pressure jet of tal instantly burned through the turret, and, along with glowing hot shrapnel, sprayed into the interior of the turret.
Not only were the people inside burned alive with agonizing screams, but the stacked cannonballs also exploded!
So Bone Tempering Realm loaders liked to keep cannonballs nearby for convenience, a habit that led to dire consequences.
A dazzling explosion was first seen, followed by a deafening roar.
This 320mm main gun, which could fit a grown man and was over ten ters long, was lifted into the air by the violent shockwave, and then smashed back down with its 36-ton weight into the deck!
The boiler room below the deck was suddenly pierced by the falling massive barrel, and twenty crew mbers including the chief engineer were instantly crushed into a pulp.
As the collapsed boiler caused a fire within the ship, the second officer hurriedly led people to make repairs.
Lu Yao, operating a drone, aid at the breach caused by the main gun's impact, and fired another missile.
This act of twisting the knife in the wound yielded splendid results; a muffled explosion was heard as the "Itsukushima's" main steam engine was destroyed!
From there, the fire inside the ship grew larger, and all able-bodied sailors rushed to put it out, because the flas were threatening to reach the torpedo chamber!
At this ti, the "Dingyuan" noticed sothing was amiss with its little brother, and its twin 305mm cannons swiveled to aim their muzzles in that direction.
The Spirit Refining Gunners entered a calm state, firing in unison!
Two 400-kilogram cannonballs slamd into the "Itsukushima," becoming the final straw that broke the cal's back!
The "Itsukushima" suffered a sequence of internal explosions after the hits, each blast tearing several large holes in the vessel from the inside out, and the sea water poured in imdiately.
This flagship of the Izumo Navy, one of the "Three Scenic Battleships", slowly sank amidst cries of panic and horror.
The survivors on the ship revealed their Divine Skills as they fled toward friendly warships. A figure sprinted over the sea, covering a distance of 5 kiloters at high speed, and boarded the "Yoshino".
This was a middle-aged man wearing feathers on his back and carrying a katana. His thod of sword carrying marked him as a ninja, and the technique of "gliding over water" was undoubtedly of the Innate Realm.
Those who couldn't be rescued in ti could only struggle desperately in the water, where large, exaggerated fins approached—it was the galodons.
Stimulated by the bloody scent of the castaways, they overca their aversion to the loud noise of the guns and rushed in for a feast.
~~~~~~~~~
Although a friendly had stolen his kill, Lu Yao didn't mind at all and continued to operate the drone, looking for the next target.
But soon after, the "Dingyuan," which had stolen the kill, suffered a disaster.
A Spirit Refining Gunner from the Izumo flagship "Yoshino" took this opportunity to strike the "Dingyuan" beneath its hull plating with a 203mm main gun, igniting a large fire inside the ship.
The explosive incendiary shells from Izumo were extrely fierce once they caught fire, spreading rapidly.
In no ti, the whole warship was engulfed in flas.
The warships of Izumo, overjoyed, all fiercely attacked together, hoping to sink the "Dingyuan."
As the flagship of our forces, the sinking of the "Dingyuan" would be an unimaginable loss!
At the critical mont, the "Zhiyuan" sailed forward, positioning itself in front of the flagship to shield it from the bombardnt! It also bought ti for the fire on the "Dingyuan" to be extinguished!
