, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of the Empire, Total War!

The shining sea is close to the waters of the South Valdasia Peninsula.

On the deck of Jupiter's flagship, a petite girl quietly leaned on the side of the ship, looking at the sea ahead with a lonely expression.

Her name is Elizabeth Stuart, the princess of the Holy Roman Empire. She was supposed to live a carefree childhood with her parents. However, in the attack more than ten days ago, she was forcibly forced by heavily armed Roman soldiers. Take it away and take it all the way to this huge battleship.

She never left her parents for half a step since she was a child. She was suddenly taken away. It was impossible to say that she was not afraid. After being taken away, she would have nightmares and wake up every night. After waking up, her whole body was soaked in cold sweat. Even the sheets under her body were wet, but the Romans didn't care about her. Seeing that she was soaked, they just threw a new piece of clothing to deal with it.

After she was on the battleship, her treatment improved. Although her status was still considered a prisoner, she was also a princess of a powerful empire. Not only did she change to a room with a better environment, but she also had a maid with a strong body and looking like a big five and three rough. ——The last time she saw a woman of this size was in Vienna. The wife of the court cook was such a rude rural woman. She had bad skin, and she still showed big yellow teeth all day long, but even though her image was not good, she treated her. This little princess is still very good, and often brings out some gadgets from the countryside to make her happy.

Until the last few days, her sleep quality has improved. At least she will not be awakened by nightmares every night. She often sleeps until dawn, and she can eat lunch directly after she gets up and washes.

Elizabeth is very clever, and to be precise, there are not many of the Stuarts who are not clever. She knew that the possibility of escape after boarding a battleship was about zero, so she dispelled the idea of ​​escaping. In fact, even if she did not board a battleship, she had no chance to escape, and was taken all the way from Amatlia to Lucto. The fact that Sicheng failed to escape for so many days is an obvious example.

"Your Royal Highness, you should go back."

At this moment, a rough man-like voice sounded from behind her, and Elizabeth looked back subconsciously, but what caught her eye was a wall of flesh, a wall of flesh dressed in coarse cloth.

"I see, Ingrid, I will go back now." She sighed slightly and said, then turned back to the cabin under the maid's gaze.

As she returned to the cabin, the sailor who hung on the pole of the ship suddenly opened his throat and shouted: "An unknown fleet is found approaching our army ahead!"

"Unidentified fleet?!" Elizabeth's heart was shocked. Her first thought was that the Imperial Navy had come to rescue her. With hope, she turned to look at the sea area in front of the fleet. The small fleet is coming towards them. Although it is a long distance away, she is smart enough to recognize it at a glance. It is clearly a Hawke gunship in the Imperial Navy!

"Father is here to save me!" she yelled in her heart, but before she rushed to the side of the ship, she suddenly lifted off the ground. She was shocked and found that Ingrid didn't know when to walk behind her. , Held her up with both hands.

"Ingrid, what are you doing?" Elizabeth yelled angrily, moving her limbs and trying to break free from the maid, but Ingrid's hands were like iron tongs that restrained her tightly, preventing her from leaving. .

Ingrid ignored the little princess's tone and movements, and said in an indifferent voice, "Your Royal Highness, please go back to the cabin as soon as possible."

"No! I don't!" Elizabeth struggled, but in vain, she watched as she was carried into the cabin by the strong maid.

Seeing the princess leave the deck, the Roman Adjutant Biblus sighed with relief. He looked at the Holy Roman Empire Navy that was approaching here, snorted, and immediately shouted: "Play the semaphore, the ships are ready to meet the enemy!"

After Hariand's death, Biblus took his place and became the commander of the fleet. He gave an order to line up the 25 warships of the Roman Navy and align the sides with a large number of artillery. The quasi-incoming imperial navy. Their artillery is more advanced, so the range is farther than that on the Hawke gunship. Before the Imperial Navy approached, the Roman battleships fired a dense salvo of artillery!

Boom boom boom -

From the sound of the guns to the shells falling into the imperial fleet, it was just a moment that the overwhelming shells fell from one end to the other, hitting several Hawke gunboats, and making one after another hideous holes in the solid ship. The sailors on the fore-deck tower of a Hawker gunboat were loading the heavy artillery, but were hit by several shells. The tower suddenly fell apart, and all the sailors and artillery on it fell into the sea. Smashed heavily on the deck, taking away the lives of several sailors.

This was the first time that the Imperial Navy had engaged with an enemy navy equipped with artillery, and it was also the first time to see an artillery with such a long range. At that time, it was caught off guard. After a salvo, although there was not a Hawke gunship. The ships were sunk, but the ships were scarred. A big hole was punched below the waterline of the most serious battleship. The sea water poured in. Although the sailors desperately drained the water and tried to plug the gap, they were still unable to recover and had to abandon the ship to escape.

After being bombarded ~lightnovelpub.net~ the Imperial Navy quickly responded. They changed the original denser formation, separated warships further, and increased their forward speed, in an attempt to reduce the warship before the second round of shelling. The enemy ship was within its own range, but the second round of shelling came soon. Although they adopted a loose formation to avoid a large number of shells, several battleships were sunk, and the sailors on the ship fell into the water and became food for the sharks.

Elizabeth in the cabin of the Jupiter didn't know what was going on outside, and she could only judge the progress of the battle by the sound of guns that sounded from time to time.

Rumble--

Another round of gunfire sounded, but it was also mixed with a relatively subtle gun sound from a distance. Elizabeth's eyes lit up. She knew that this must be her own battleship fired, but after her own battleship fired, the Roman battleship was very It will soon return with more fierce firepower. With the passage of time, the number of Hawke gunships ordered to stop the Roman fleet gradually decreased, and the wreckage of warships and wood fragments shattered by artillery were floating on the sea, and there were also a few corpses of sailors.

Half an hour after the start of the war, the gunfire finally stopped, and there was a burst of cheers on the deck of the Roman fleet. Hearing those cheers, Elizabeth's expression was dim. You don't need to guess or know that the Imperial Navy must have been defeated.
