บท 221: I swear to sink with the enemy ship.

"Zhiyuan" charged toward "Yoshino" with an unstoppable resolve, ramming hard into its starboard side!

As the collision was imminent, chaos erupted among the crew aboard "Yoshino".

Captain Kawahara Youichi rallied his sailors, instructing them to arm themselves with rifles, readying for the seldom-seen boarding combat of this age.

He could never have imagined that as captain of one of the most advanced warships of his era, he would resort to a naval combat method of the age of sailing vessels.

Meanwhile, aboard "Zhiyuan", flames had spread across the deck.

In the thick, rolling smoke, out of the original two hundred crew members, less than ten survivors remained, all gathered around Captain Deng.

"Today, we vow to sink with the enemy ship!"

The female Grandmaster crouched on the ground, slightly leaning forward, her left hand gripping the hilt of her sword, her cold eyes glistening through her hair.
