Reincarnated with the Country System-Chapter 126: Burning Skies, Drowning Fleet

Date: 18—11—1560 WC

Time: 1515 Hours

Location: 100 km North of the Bernard Empire’s Second Fleet.

The battle for naval supremacy raged on as Britannia’s warships clashed against Latvia’s formidable navy, consisting of massive galleons and warships, accompanied by monstrous sea creatures. The ocean was a battlefield of fire, steel, and sorcery. The Latvian fleet, bolstered by dragons and sea monsters, had pushed Britannia’s forces to the brink.

But salvation had arrived.

From the skies, the Bernard Empire’s warplanes soared in formation, their engines roaring like thunder as they descended upon the battlefield.

"It’s the birds of the Bernard Empire! They sent help!" a Britannian officer shouted, his voice barely audible over the chaos of war.

Admiral Nicholas, standing on the deck of his flagship, removed his soaked cape and looked up. A squadron of torpedo bombers and fighter aircraft flew past, their fuselages marked with the Bernard Empire’s golden eagle emblem.

The tide of battle was about to shift.

.........

Aboard his A6M Zero fighter, Commander Takeshi Arata of the Imperial Air Squadron assessed the battlefield from above. The sight below was chaotic—Latvia’s massive war galleons, black-flagged and adorned with dragon-head figureheads, engaged in brutal combat with Britannia’s battered fleet. Enormous sea monsters, some the size of entire ships, thrashed through the waves, dragging Britannian vessels into the abyss.

Gripping his radio, Takeshi issued his orders with the precision of a seasoned commander.

"All fighter squadrons, engage enemy wyverns and dragons immediately! Aim for their eyes and wing joints to bring them down swiftly. Dive bombers, target the enemy warships—focus on the deck and ammunition stores. Also, focus on enemy sea monsters. Torpedo bombers Strike the enemy ships’ keels to ensure they sink. Watch for enemy spellcasters on deck! Do not get reckless! Maintain formation and execute with precision!"

The response was immediate.

"Roger that, Commander! Moving into attack formation!"

...........

The first wave of Zero fighters dived toward the enemy, engaging in a fierce aerial battle against the Latvian dragons. These creatures, used as aerial cavalry by Latvia, were swift and agile. Their thick scales repelled weaker projectiles, making them difficult to take down with conventional weapons.

But Takeshi and his pilots knew their weaknesses.

He lined up his sights and squeezed the trigger. **Tak-tak-tak-tak!** His Zero’s Type 99 20mm cannons tore through a wyvern’s left wing. The beast screeched in agony, spiralling downward before crashing into the ocean.

"Remember, their eyes and wings are vulnerable! Do not waste ammo on their armoured scales!" Takeshi reminded his squad.

Explosions and gunfire filled the sky as the dogfight intensified. Latvian dragon riders retaliated with crossbows enchanted with explosive magic, forcing the Zero pilots to manoeuvre skillfully. Some enemy warlocks, standing on their warships, conjured fireballs and lightning, launching them at the incoming planes.

"Watch out for enemy spellcasters!" Takeshi warned.

His wingman, Lieutenant Masaru, fired his machine guns at a Latvian sorcerer on a ship’s deck, riddling him with bullets before he could complete his spell. Read exclusive adventures at novelbuddy

Below, the torpedo bombers began their deadly assault.

The Bernardian D4Y Suisei dive bombers climbed to attack altitude. Their targets: Latvia’s massive warships and their monstrous allies in the ocean.

Payload: Type 99 No.25 Armor-Piercing Bombs

One by one, the Suiseis nosed down, entering steep dives toward their targets. The pilots gritted their teeth as they fought against the G-forces pressing against their bodies.

"Bombs away!"

The Type 99 No.25 bombs detached, screaming through the air before slamming into the enemy warships.

**BOOM!**

Explosions erupted across the fleet. One of Latvia’s three-deck galleons was hit squarely on its main deck, igniting a chain reaction that tore through its gunpowder storage. The ship was instantly engulfed in flames.

Meanwhile, the B6N Tenzan torpedo bombers had positioned themselves just above the ocean, moving in for their attack runs.

Payload: Type 91 Mod 3 Aerial Torpedoes

Each torpedo was released with precision, cutting through the waves before striking the hulls of Latvian warships. Some detonated beneath the keels, causing catastrophic damage. The LNS Black Talon, one of Latvia’s largest galleons, suffered two direct hits—one at the stern and another at midship. It began to sink rapidly, water flooding its lower decks.

Latvia’s monstrous allies, massive sea creatures summoned by dark magic, were wreaking havoc on Britannia’s fleet. Some resembled Krakens, their tentacles wrapping around Britannian warships, dragging them into the abyss. Others were titanic, scaled leviathans with armoured hides.

But the Bernardian bombers had come prepared.

Payload: Type 3 Anti-Submarine Depth Bombs & Napalm Bombs

The first wave of Type 3 depth bombs was dropped, detonating underwater. The concussive force ruptured the insides of the submerged creatures, causing them to writhe in agony before floating lifelessly to the surface.

For the more resilient monsters, napalm bombs were deployed. The incendiary weapons burst upon impact, covering the beasts in liquid fire. Their roars of pain echoed across the battlefield as flames engulfed them.

The waters turned crimson with the blood of the fallen.

.........

Aboard the LNS Colossal, Admiral Vladislav stood motionless, his eyes wide with shock. His once-mighty fleet was being annihilated.

"Admiral, give your orders!" one of his officers pleaded.

But Vladislav said nothing. His gaze remained locked on the sky, watching helplessly as the Bernardian warplanes destroyed his forces.

A torpedo struck the Colossal, sending a violent tremor through the ship. Water began rushing into the lower decks.

"Admiral, we need orders!"

Seeing his commander unresponsive, the officer clenched his fists and made the call himself.

"Everyone abandon ship immediately!"

Latvian sailors and soldiers scrambled to escape, lowering lifeboats into the bloodstained waters.

But the Bernardian pilots weren’t done yet.

From the cockpit of his Zero, Commander Takeshi Arata watched the LNS Colossal—Latvia’s dragon carrier—listing dangerously. He picked up his radio.

"All bombers, focus fire on the enemy flagship. We must ensure its complete destruction. Torpedo squadrons hit it again. Execute the final strike and return to the aircraft carrier. Tenno Heika Banzai!"

A few torpedo bombers closed in.

Payload: Type 91 Mod 3 Torpedoes

The first torpedo struck the ship’s stern. Another hit the forward section. The final torpedo landed a devastating blow amidships.

**BOOM!**

The Colossal split apart, fire and water consuming it simultaneously. Within minutes, the once-mighty warship disappeared beneath the waves.

Admiral Nicholas of Britannia watched in astonishment.

"They saved us..." he whispered.

The Bernard Empire had arrived.

And Latvia was not ready.
