บท 268: The formation of 264 is in disarray.

The Tang Group Navy soldier within the turret calmly slid a new round into the cannon's breech after pulling open the new-style gunlock, then proceeded to push in the propellant charge as well.

Once the breech was closed, he raised his arm, and within a few seconds, the cannon abruptly jolted backward, recoiling over two feet before quickly returning to its original position.

The not-so-thick armor plate of the turret muffled the noise of the cannon firing, and the soldiers inside only heard a dull thud before continuing with the reloading process.

Since they couldn't see the results of their own fire, they could only listen to the noncommissioned officer responsible for aiming loudly reporting the outcomes of the shots.

For these sailors, naval battles were almost no different from playing a game; they just needed to repeat their tasks, and victory would soon follow.
