Capítulo 685: 644 circling on the sea

On the sea between the distant Beiyuan City and the Shen Hai Kingdom, the clouds of war were gathering as well.

Finally, with both sides willing to engage in battle, and one not wanting to retreat while the other eager to advance, the long-brewing battle of the Northern Sea finally erupted.

The participating forces were evenly matched, with the Shen Hai Kingdom putting forth nearly its entire naval assets, and the Tang Imperial Navy deploying its main fleet.

Bernard had a total of three Dongwan-class battleships, 45 cruisers and destroyers, making up a total naval force of 48 warships.

The Shen Hai Kingdom fleet, commanded by Shenhai Yinan, possessed four battleships and 51 cruisers and destroyers, totaling 55 warships.
