Yamato Empire Chronicle – TS Girl, Conquering the Fantasy World With the Strongest Modern Nation Made in a Game - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: The Battle of Lycanvania Part 2

Boom, boom, boom, a rhymical drum sound reverberating across the sea.

The Beastvania Navy galley ships moves its oars following the beat of the sound.

Their destination is the 1st Fleet of the Imperial Navy, led by the battleship Fuji.

“Y-your Majesty… the enemy ship is even bigger than the one we saw before…”

“Don’t be intimidated! We have the invincible Beastkin spirit! Look, the enemy ship is exposed on the port side! If we launch a concentrated attack there, we will have a chance to win!”

2 dreadnought battleships and 4 armored cruisers.

The sight of a massive ship that was several times bigger than the protected cruiser Chiyoda, which had previously come to Lycanvania, became a source of terror to everyone on board the flagship of Beastvania fleet, Mighty Lycan II.

But only one man, Lycan II, was completely unfazed.

No, he couldn’t afford to be intimidated.

Having already suffered a defeat at the Battle of Tigervania by the Yamato Imperial Army, he had no choice but to win this naval battle at all costs.

This battle is not only to protect the Royal Capital but also because the Lion tribe chief is the Royal Family of the Beastvania Beastkin Nation.

If he loses here, no, he will lose his legitimacy as royalty if he doesn’t fight here.

It is the very definition of a sinking ship.

There is absolutely no backing down.

That’s why he asked, “No, it’s impossible to ram a giant steel behemoth like that, isn’t it?” He urged Sir Cavaar, the naval lord who was on the verge of running away.

“Charge! Charge to the enemy!”

The 1st Fleet of the Yamato Empire, making a large rotation to secure a T-crossing vantage point and exposing the port side of the fleet.

This position allowed them to open fire on Beastvania’s fleet at any time. In 20th-century naval fleet warfare, the T-crossing formation held an overwhelming advantage. That probably is common knowledge to all.

However, such common sense does not apply in this world. In this world where most galley ships are used for ramming attacks, hence the port side is the biggest weakest point.

On the contrary, the T-crossing formation shows that weakness in full display.

“Sir Cavaar! The enemy fleet has gone insane! That’s why they did such a foolish thing as exposing their flanks! Nevertheless, charge, charge, charge!”

This is a one in a thousand opportunity.

After making this decision, Lycan II threw himself into the battle expressing his gratitude to God.

However, this of course is not God-given luck, and that option is not a pathway to victory for him.

“Enemy galleys approaching. 23 in number, the enemy flagship has been identified as the lead ship and the King on board confirmed.”

“Roger that. The flagship is removed from the target, start firing.”

Yamato Empire’s 1st Fleet Flagship Fuji.

Orders fly out from the ship command center, then hundreds of crew members and a 20,000-ton behemoth move in accordance with those orders.

With four batteries each fitted with a pair of 31-cm main guns, it moves to aim and intercept the Beastvania fleet ships that are charging toward them.

“Target, enemy galleys, distance 1,200. Commence firing.”

Then, the gunner fired at the command, “Commence firing.”

A 31-centimeter shell weighing nearly 400 kg is shot out with the explosive flame.

“…Enemy ship exploded!”

“Self-destruct!?”

The firings of the 31-cm cannon. The Beastvania fleet was cheering at the sight of the blazing flames.

That would be the case. Beastvania’s navy which is generally stationed in the Royal Capital has never seen Yamato Empire’s shelling before.

Therefore, they have no idea what the Yamato empire has done.

But that’s not the case with Lycan II.

“Sir Cavaar! The enemy’s magic attack is incoming! Watch out, it’s a massive explosive magic!”

“At once! Each fleet moves to evade as we charge! Messengers, send the signal quickly!”

Having understood ‘Artillery Fire’ during the previous battle of Tigervania, he realized that it was extremely dangerous as soon as the shots were fired.

But just because you understand it doesn’t mean you can do anything about it.

At this time, the distance between the Imperial First Fleet and the Beastvania Fleet was only 1,2 km.

The reason for engaging in long-range artillery fire was to thin out the enemy’s ships and to ascertain which ship had Lycan II on board…

And the rest doesn’t matter.

The problem is that at this very close range, the time to impact is extremely short and the accuracy of the cannons is extremely high.

Flames of explosion accompanied by thunderous sounds.

The Beautiful Swan a ship that was sailing a few hundred meters next to the flagship Mighty Lycan II was struck by a direct hit from a 31-cm shell and mercilessly blown to pieces.

“H-Hieek! It can’t be…, with a single hit!?”

Lycan II wet himself at the sight of their overwhelming power. The explosions shook the Mighty Lycan II.

The impact of the artillery shells created water columns causing waves that shook the ship he was riding in.

The shaking was so intense, “Uh-uwhoaa…” Lycan II spreading around his filth.

But there is no time to feel dirty about it.

Fuji is not the only battleship under the Yamato Empire.

The same type of ship, Yashima, and the cruisers all opened fire at once, sinking the galleys one after the other.

They desperately tried to avoid it, but with only a mere kilometer away, not to mention that they were on board a slow-moving galley ship.

There was no escape, he just said, “W-why did you put me on this ship!” And complaining to his gods, saying “Oh, God!  Please help this poor little cat!” The only thing he can do is ask God for help.

Countless columns of water rise up, fragments of ships are blown away by the artillery fire, and pieces of flesh rain down from the sky.

We knew from the beginning what would happen if a small wooden ship was subjected to shelling from a battleship.

The battle is now decided.

A mere few shots later, most of the ships had sunk, and the only one left in the Beastvania fleet was the ship Lycan II on board, the Mighty Lycan II.

The Yamato Imperial Fleet, on the other hand, was not even damaged except for expendable ammunition.

“B-Beastvania is still… Lion Tribe is… the Beastkin is…”

Defeated, Lycan II escapes from reality and repeats incoherent words.

This is the end of a miserable king whose dreams have been crushed.

Meanwhile, on the victorious Yamato Empire side …They were not that happy with their victory.

If you bring a battleship to a battle against a galley ship, it’s obvious you’re going to win, it’s not something to rejoice about.

……Except for one person.

“S-so wonderful! Uncle Todo! Keep up the good work and defeat the elves too!”

“That’s an impossible proposition. We military personnel only follow Führer’s orders. As for the battle against the elves, we will have to consult with Her Excellency.”

The bridge of the battleship Fuji.

There, Saint Roshana was overjoyed and hugged the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, Todo.

……While pressing her own breasts to him.

Well, the so-called honey trap for the guy. The cooperation of the Yamato Empire is essential for the liberation of her homeland, the Celestial Kingdom.

That is why the Saint is doing her best, even though it is disgraceful.

But it doesn’t seem to be working.

The Yamato Empire prohibits the worship of big breasts in its state religion and constitution. To protect the absoluteness of the Führer, whose breasts are small, they are not allowed to be fond of big breasts.

For this reason, many high-ranking officials in the empire are fond of small breasts, and even if they like big breasts, they will never talk about it.

No matter how hard the Saint tries to press her ample breasts against them, it will not move the hearts of the imperial soldiers.

“…Tch, as expected it doesn’t seem to work. There seems to be no other way but to appeal to Führer Eryutheia herself.”

“Oh, Lady Saint, were you saying something?”

“No! Nothing at all.”

The Saint smiled and waved her hand as if to deceive.

But then, that flat chested yandere maid is in the way… While thinking in her mind.

Now, at this point, the only remaining of the Beastvania fleet is the Mighty Lycan II.

Once the Imperial Navy captures it, they will have accomplished their mission.

“I would have preferred to entrust this mission to Samejima.”

“Because his Chiyoda belongs to the 2nd Fleet.”

“He’s not here. Unfortunately.”

On the bridge of the protected cruiser Izumi, Captain Wakabayashi gave an order, “Close in for capture of the enemy ship,” as he quickly put his hat back on.

Because large and heavy ships such as battleships and armored cruisers require more time and effort to capture a ship, the smaller Izumi was given the task.

Lycan II completely loses his path to victory and descends into despair.

He was easily caught without showing much resistance.

Then, as an example, his ship, the Mighty Lycan II, was blown up by a single shot from the main guns of two battleships, the Fuji and the Yashima.

This shelling brought the Battle of Lycanvania to an end.

With an outcome of the destruction of the Beastvania fleet.

A Brief Explanation of “The Navy of This World” edition.

On the eastern continent, the concept of artillery fire is practically nonexistent, as “firearms” do not exist, and boarding and fighting from close quarters is the basic method of combat.

For this reason, galley ships continue to play a leading role in naval battles and are not limited to Beastvania.

Furthermore, due to the geopolitical convenience of having a land border with different races, no budget has been allocated for a navy, resulting in a poor quality navy in every other country.

In any case, the elves of the western continent are using advanced magical technology to develop new weapons, but can they fight against a dreadnought-class battleship?… As you can see.

Not only the battleships but even protected cruisers are overpowered. Considering the decline in economic power after the transition, the Imperial Navy may need to disarm.

……However, Führer is a big fan of the Navy. Disarmament would be impossible.
