Facing the encirclent by the Imperial Army, Wilton made a decisive decision to deploy his last remaining troop into the battlefield, having this group of escort ships rge with the patrol cruiser fleet to form a superior force against the Imperial Army.
However, this move left Wilton's own battleship fleet, which he personally commanded, at a nurical disadvantage against the encircling forces of the Imperial Army.
The battleship fleet he commanded, although comprised of a thousand warships with seven hundred being primary battleships, still faced a formidable opponent as the enemy had two troops.
Although a single troop of the Imperial Army might be smaller in size compared to the Alliance Army, together the two troops had at least fifteen hundred warships! More importantly, among these fifteen hundred warships were four hundred heavy armored ships!
Under such circumstances, the enemy Wilton faced was not only larger in number but also comparable in quality, and the danger he faced was imaginable.
But as the saying goes, when masters contend, it's not just about intelligence but also about courage! Whoever could commit fully at the critical mont could possibly win the battle!
At this mont, both sides had played their hands, and their fleets had already begun moving according to their tactical intentions, leaving no room for maneuvering!
Not long after, Wilton's battleship fleet approached the still-engaged Void Magic Corps, and the Imperial Army's Armored Ship Troops also arrived at the rear of the Void Magic Corps, followed by both massive fleets initiating the most intense bombardnt!
Facing the Imperial heavy armored ships, the Alliance's battleships began unleashing their firepower the mont the enemy ca within range. This ti, it wasn't just the main cannons firing, but also the secondary guns engaging in a fierce bombardnt.
"Fire the cannons! Keep firing fiercely! No one stops without my order!"
"Shoot! Hit them hard!"
"Fire the cannons!"
"Fire the cannons!"
When the enemy ca within range, captains of various battleships imdiately issued orders to fire, and the gunners, as if driven mad, aid their cannons at the enemy and blasted mana cannonballs instantly.
Similarly, when the Alliance's warships entered the range, the Imperial heavy armored ships also started their fierce retaliation!
The notorious heavy armored ships are renowned not just for their formidable defensive power but also for firepower that matches any battleship. Thus, when the Alliance's warships entered the range, Imperial soldiers didn't remain idle either, retaliating in the most ferocious manner possible!
The intense and deafening sound of bombardnt echoed through the skies at this mont.
However, to be fair, in this desperate exchange of fire, the Imperial heavy armored ships were at a disadvantage, simply because the nurical gap was sowhat too large.
The Imperial Army's heavy armored ships, numbering just over four hundred, had been continuously subjected to long-range strikes from the Alliance Army as they advanced. Despite their strong defensive power, which prevented significant losses, dozens had been sunk. Therefore, by the ti both sides began to engage in full-fledged shooting, the number of Imperial heavy armored ships had already fallen below four hundred.
This nurical disadvantage ant that on average, each Imperial heavy armored ship had to face attacks from two Alliance ships, and not just main cannon attacks, but a full barrage from both the main and secondary cannons of two battleships!
In such a scenario, even the strong defensive strength of the heavy armored ships was not enough.
Therefore, in the first round of engagent, it could be said that the Alliance Army had the upper hand.
anwhile, the high-speed patrol space ships flanking the enemy had also begun to exchange fire with the Imperial Army. From the start of the skirmish, the patrol cruiser fleet clearly held the advantage, not only in the number of ships but also in terms of quality.
The Imperial Army's flanking formation primarily comprised ordinary battleships, patrol cruisers, and escort ships—it was a fairly standard, or rather, diocre mixed troop.
This type of troop composition was common on the battlefield because ordinarily, fighting parties couldn't afford to field an army composed solely of battleships or patrol cruisers. Such single-type troop formations were too costly, and generally, only the Sky Alliance and the Kafka Empire had the strength to assemble such top-level fleets.
So, these mixed troops might seem like different warships could coordinate well together, but against a formidable enemy, such as the current all-patrol-cruiser Alliance fleet, they were at a disadvantage, especially since the Alliance Army also had a nurical lead, making the situation even worse.
The situation on the battlefield beca very clear in an instant; when both sides began engaging in close-range bombardnt, the Alliance Army quickly gained the upper hand and imdiately achieved a considerable victory.
If the battle had simply continued in this manner without any changes, the Alliance Army would undoubtedly have won. However, the actual situation was not so, as the Alliance's advantage did not last long; soon enough, the encirclent by the Imperial Army was completed!
Not long after the Alliance Army gained an advantage on the battlefield, just as Wilton had predicted, the third detachnt that had previously separated from the main force changed its direction and encircled from behind the battleship fleet led by Wilton.
Similarly, the destroyer fleet that had co at the fastest speed from the main formation also finally entered the fray, appearing on the flanks of the high-speed patrol space ships.
In this way, the Imperial Army's encirclent was completed!
Once the encirclent was completed, the battlefield situation imdiately experienced a new shift: with the arrival of their reinforcents, the two surrounded Imperial troop divisions felt significantly less pressure. Correspondingly, the Alliance Army not only lost its advantage of outnumbering the enemy but also suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
The cruiser fleet was sowhat better off because they soon awaited the arrival of the last large detachnt of the Alliance Army, the escort ship fleet. Once these two joined forces, they matched the opposing side in all aspects, nearly breaking even with the enemy.
However, the battleship fleet led by Wilton found itself in a significant disadvantage at this mont, as they had no reinforcents!
Initially, against the heavy armored ship division, Wilton's forces had a two-to-one advantage. But now, with the Imperial Army's encirclent complete, the situation had completely reversed. Not only did the number of ships beco fewer than the enemy's, but the battlefield dynamic also shifted to the enemies encircling and attacking the battleship fleet from both front and rear—this was quite a dire situation!
