The future "Breaking Off Engagement Battle" might become one of the main forms of naval warfare.

The main goal is to sever or obstruct the transport of enemy combat supplies and reinforcements, limit their naval force mobility, and weaken the combat capabilities of a country.

By attacking enemy transport ships and convoy escort teams, destroying enemy loading ports, and blocking enemy ship passages, strategic objectives can be achieved.

During World War I, Hans Cat implemented unrestricted submarine warfare, adopting single-boat attack tactics, disrupting the Covenant Nations’ maritime transport lines, sinking roughly 11 million tons of ships.

In World War II, the scale of naval interdiction battles expanded. Hans Cat once again implemented unrestricted submarine warfare and developed the use of submarines, surface ships, and air forces in groups, sinking approximately 21 million tons of Allied Nations’ ships.

With this precedent, the current heavy cruisers bear a striking resemblance to them.

Even if the Bayfolk Nations of Hightins and the North Sea Circle consecutively fall, Byron loses territory, and finally, the triangular trade in the Echidna Triangular Circulation emerges, it is not completely unsolvable.

As long as he controls the maritime Great Wall on major trade routes, he can manipulate international markets and even influence the political inclinations of various factions’ interest groups, thereby dominating the rise and fall of a nation or multiple nations in a "non-violent" form.

Control maritime gateways!

Control world trade!

Achieve world hegemony!

Crown the Maritime Hegemon!

By that time, Byron would be the Uncrowned King over the entire [Echidna Triangle], not a Pirate Emperor, but the King of the Seven Seas, even a Sea King!

The interdiction fleet has regrouped completely.

Including the Sacred Relics prototype ship [The Golden Deer], this Heavy Cruiser Fleet totals fifty-two ships, surpassing the battleship count of Hightins’ seven fleets.

Previously, due to the principle of "too advanced to display," even in actual combat training at sea, they would annihilate the enemy without leaving any eyewitnesses.

This time, appearing as the finale, they finally make their public debut before the entire world.

The law network from [Royal Iron Rule - Great Charter] covers the entire fleet, constructing branch command systems with each warship as a unit, instantly integrating the fleet into a whole.

Byron gives an order:

"Interdiction fleet, with [The Golden Deer] as the lead ship, form a single column, and deploy the battle line!"

Whoosh——!

Facing the northeast wind, more than fifty warships move upon receiving the order, with no slightest hesitation, precise as if jointly using the same brain.

The sails filled, they quickly accelerate collectively to a speed of 13 knots.

The interdiction fleet, opening the collective battle mode, charges toward the opposite Phantom Fleet like a galloping Heavy Knight regiment.

On the Phantom Fleet flagship, quasi-legendary warship [Mary Joa Theatre Ship], a blood-red tentacle shoots out early and grasped the ecstatic Duke of Clarence George, pulling him onto its ship.

With a "thud" he falls onto the deck.

Looking up, he sees [Demon Lord], [Death Pianist] Lorraina sitting at a piano, surrounded by a crowd of devils, kin, undead sailors, revered like stars surrounding the moon.

Wearing a crown, with hair red as fire, skin white as snow, draped in a black evening gown, noble and beautiful, as dazzling as the sun.

It seems she is not here to fight a nation-ending colonial war but to attend a grand concert, showing her immense arrogance.

Just as never daring to oppose his father-in-law [The Kingmaker] Warwick, George also dares not show any dissatisfaction toward his new patron.

Disregarding his body already weakened like Edward IV, he immediately scrambles to his feet, face plastered with a flattering smile, nodding and bowing to the Demon Lord, saying:

"Oh great Her Majesty Lorraine.

Your will shall be the command for the Kingdom of Hightins in the future, and I, along with 7 million citizens, will be your most loyal servants."

Due to making such a large movement, he can’t help but clutch his back:

"Ah... hiss, ha... hiss, ha..."

Seeing his comical appearance, the Demon Lord, lived for unknown years, remains unmoved, but those surrounding devils and undead sailors burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, he looks like a dog."

George’s face twitches, wanting to scold these damn savages, but seeing the "noble" black skin of some, he loses his courage and continues to smile humbly:

"Laugh all you want, laugh all you want, this laughter is truly... exuberant, hahaha..."

Secretly fuming inside:

"You all won’t last much longer as kin than a few days and dare to look down on people? Sooner or later, I’ll find a way to please Her Majesty Lorraine and ride on all of you!"

At this time, no one understands better than me how to act as a brother, a son-in-law, a grandson, and a puppet to the strong!"

[Demon Lord] couldn’t bother to glance at this "opinion leader" used to dismantle power from within the indigenous.

She merely stared at Byron, who unexpectedly seized the throne at lightning speed and successfully promoted to Fifth Order [Night Demon Monarch], her red lips slightly curling:

"Interesting."

Raising her hand, she presses a piano key beside her.

The entire fleet immediately, under the control of the musical notes, similarly forms a very orderly battle line, facing the charging interdiction fleet head-on.

Through the eyes of the lower order vassals, she has already seen the opponent’s ship maneuvering tactics to disassemble the battle line, yet is not at all worried about losing to this maneuver.

The ship spirits in the Phantom Fleet receive her Death Sonata commands unequivocally, daring to play maneuvering tactics will surely lead them to lose instead of gain.
