章 551: From Candia To The Bottom Of The Ocean

The sea sunk back into its usual silence, for only temporary of course, forming a strong contrast with the surrounding environment of Abraham's fleet which is filled with sinking ships, bloating bodies, scattered planks and spilt fuels.

The first glimpse of the day has emerged above the horizon, showing that this epic battle has been ongoing for around five hours counting since the first encounter between the two fleet.

Abraham knows that when it comes to warfare, it is always the first all out offence, or the first charge by the troopers that determines the fate of the war. If a troop did not manage to crash their opponents in their first offensive, the troopers' strength, determination, strive, shall diminish bit by bit until it is being worn out, and then this troop shall forever lose the ability to put up another offensive turning into a desperate defence.
