Season 3: Chapter 253. Rolling Waves (3)
While some romance existed, players directly steering the ships clearly had limitations. Naval battles required precise formations. A ship directly controlled by a commander from above had distinct advantages over one that moved based on relayed commands and rough estimates.
The need for simultaneous maneuvers could lead to discrepancies and there would inevitably be formation errors. Given these numerous disadvantages, Sa-Rang had abandoned the idea of winning naval battles from the start. Even on a sea map, they needed to avoid naval engagements as much as possible.
‘We'll use the shape of this long island to move as much on land as possible...’
Then, Sa-Rang discovered the long narrow island to the east. Building at the southern tip of this island made it seem close to Joseon's base at six o'clock. However, traveling north along the land would bring them very close to Japan's base at twelve o'clock.
Although various islands blocked the way, this route was far more efficient than moving by sea. Transporting troops from there using transport ships would be quite effective. The challenge was keeping the existence of this multi-base hidden until then.
'We managed to hold them off for now.'
They had rammed the scouting Sekibune with a swift ship to stop it. Then, a Hwaseon ship was dispatched to chase off the Sekibune.
Thud.
