I Have A Martial Dao World

"Bearing 14, deviation 39, fire!"

The "Zhiyuan" shielded their flagship, the "Dingyuan," taking all the attacks while also constantly retaliating.

At that moment, Yu Yanmei stood on the trembling deck, with various calibers of cannonballs constantly flying past her.

These were all naval artillery shells, even the lightest weighing nearly a hundred kilograms.

Compared to naval guns, army artillery was like comparing fingers to bananas in size, not to mention the power difference.

The crew, including Captain Deng, were all soaked with seawater, and these shells, plunging into the sea, would raise waves tens of meters high.

Some were struck by cannonballs while walking and burst into a mist of blood; others exploded on the deck, the violent shockwaves reducing countless parts and bodies to indistinguishable fragments.

But the people on this ship were still fighting desperately! Some were hauling cannonballs, others were putting out the fires that had started on the ship, in a panicked yet orderly fashion.

Because the commander of the battleship—Captain Deng—stood there calmly, unshakably in place.

Just then, a shell exploded not far away. Yu Yanmei moved swiftly, brandishing her sword, and a stream of sparks rang out as countless fragments were deflected.

Yu Yanmei sheathed her sword, her tone indifferent as she asked, "Aren't you afraid of death? And these ordinary people... aren't they afraid of dying either?"

Captain Deng replied calmly, "Who does not die? I only wish to die a worthy death."

No sooner had he spoken than several shells hit the ship, tearing huge gaps in the hull with a grating, shrill noise.

Water quickly flooded in, tilting the entire battleship.

The "Zhiyuan" was surrounded and attacked by a group of ships, and it was already reaching its limits!

Meanwhile, Commander Chen Jinkui, with a horrible expression on his face, reported, "We've run out of cannonballs!"

At this moment, with their flagship "Dingyuan" too busy putting out its own fires to help, the Izumo fleet had completed its encirclement, achieving its tactical objective.

The Zhenhai fleet, without coordination and each fighting on their own, was even more embarrassingly close to running out of cannonballs!

~~~~~~~

From high above, Lu Yao watched everything with crystal clarity and decided to prioritize attacking the most impressive ship of the Izumo fleet—the "Yoshino."

It was the latest model battleship, just launched, with a very fast firing rate, singlehandedly responsible for almost 40% of the enemy's firepower, and it was the core C position on the enemy side.

Lu Yao targeted the midsection's gun turret of the ship and fired a missile!

The "Blue Sword Anti-Tank Missile" used by the drone was highly accurate, powerful, and had an impressive range of up to 8 kilometers.

This allowed the drone to strike from high altitude, letting Lu Yao stay comfortably shrouded in the clouds like a sly old fox, unnoticed until now~

But there was a huge drawback to anti-tank missiles—they were slow! With a speed of only 300 meters per second. After all, they were designed for targeting tanks, not aircraft.

From appearing to hitting the target, high-level martial artists had at least three seconds to react!

On the "Yoshino," an Innate Expert noticed something was amiss.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He wore a feathered garment and carried a katana, and was none other than Munekata Kotaro, who had fled over the water after the sinking of the "Itsukushima."

It was he who had discovered the Zhenhai fleet's departure, allowing the Izumo fleet to deploy preemptively in a favorable position, waiting at ease!

At that moment, Munekata Kotaro looked up at the sky, confused, "What the hell is that!"

As he spoke, he dodged and drew his sword, becoming a dark shadow that swept past the missile, causing it to disintegrate in mid-air!

Fortunately, the distance was too far, and he didn't notice the drone hidden in the high clouds, but from then on, he remained alert to the skies.

Lu Yao's expression tightened, "Subsonic weapons... they're too slow for high-level martial artists!"

There were only 16 missiles left. Although there were more in the car, a round trip would take over half an hour, and the situation was already tricky; who knew what might happen before he could return.

If the Zhenhai fleet fell, his drone would soon be discovered, and in this extraordinary world, that would certainly lead to unpleasant consequences.

And just at that moment, Lu Yao suddenly discovered— there was a friendly warship, billowing thick smoke and listing due to flooding, breaking away from the formation and charging towards the "Yoshino"!

"This is... the Zhiyuan Ship!!!"

Witnessing this most heroic moment in modern naval history, Lu Yao gritted his teeth and locked onto the "Yoshino" again!

But this time he set up a simultaneous launch of 4 missiles, each targeting the main guns at the bow and stern.

These cannons were the latest rapid-fire types, and were even equipped with "Automatic Cannon Aiming Devices," the biggest threat on the "Yoshino".

After taking careful aim in the Spirit Refinement Realm, he pressed the launch button, and 4 missiles shot out with their tails ablaze!

~~~~~~~~~~

At this point, the Zhiyuan Ship was out of ammunition and food and severely damaged.

Its hull was riddled with holes from enemy fire, leaking and listing, while big flames and billowing smoke arose from it.

"We've run out of cannonballs and torpedoes..." Captain Deng, his face blackened with soot, looked at the loyal subordinates who had followed him for many years and shouted:

"We, who serve in the military to protect our country, have long disregarded life and death. Now, all that is left is to die!"

Then he pointed at the "Yoshino" and screamed, "The enemy relies on the Yoshino heavily. If we sink this ship, it will be enough to break their spirit and turn the tide!"

With that said, he resolutely steered the ship at full speed towards the right side of the "Yoshino," determined to take the enemy down with him!

Captain Deng had already cast aside his own life and death, only giving Yu Yanmei a look filled with an apology.

Yu Yanmei, however, showed no sign of fear on her face, her gaze fixated on the "Yoshino," especially on the Innate Expert capable of slashing down missiles—Munekata Kotaro!

~~~~~~~~

Seeing the adversary full throttle ahead for a collision, the captain of the "Yoshino," Kawahara Youichi, instantly paled with fright, "Quick! Fire the cannons! Sink it!"

The crew immediately concentrated their fire on the Zhiyuan Ship!

These crewmen's faces were covered with soot, and their heads were tied with bands inscribed with "Certain Victory".

Their will to live and will to win fully unleashed their potential, and they furiously loaded and fired the cannons at the fastest speed they could manage!

The already heavily damaged Zhiyuan Ship was hit repeatedly, and as seawater poured in, the ship listed nearly 30 degrees to the side.

At this rate, it would soon be sunk and unable to accomplish its mission of mutual destruction with the enemy.

Munekata Kotaro, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief and began to be vigilant of attacks from high above.

At that moment, the 4 anti-tank missiles Lu Yao had launched came crashing down!

"Did Jiade sell new weapons to the Shun Dynasty again!?"

Munekata Kotaro was about to intercept, but suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and turned to meet a cold gaze!

"It's the Grandmaster from the Zhenhai Fleet sitting in fortification—Yu Yanmei!"

The Genyo Society, having bribed someone in the military affairs of the Shun Dynasty, naturally knew about Yu Yanmei.

In the Otherworld, the battles between martial artists were life and death in an instant. Munekata Kotaro immediately focused all his energy on the formidable enemy and could no longer care about the missiles.

The 4 missiles accurately hit their targets, and the high-temperature, high-pressure metal jets penetrated the turrets, along with the red-hot, broken metal fragments, spraying into the insides of the turrets.

Like pouring molten iron into an ant nest, the people inside screamed in agony, and an Organ Refining Realm officer, his body aflame, jumped into the sea.

However, this most advanced warship was equipped with the latest "ammunition racks," which protected the ammunition well and prevented it from exploding. The same was true for the other three targets.

But all four main cannons were now inoperable, and that was enough!

Without the obstruction of cannon fire, the Zhiyuan Ship had already charged close!
