Ten minutes seemed endlessly long for Erwin, but he had to wait.
During this prolonged wait, all he could do was watch helplessly as his fleet was annihilated by Rocky and his forces with devastating ease.
By the time the arduous ten minutes had finally passed and the reinforcements led by Erwin had arrived at the battlefield, the situation was even worse than he had imagined.
In just that short time, Tawa's fleet had lost more than half its strength! Over two hundred warships were sunk in this battle, a few of them by Rocky personally, but the vast majority were destroyed by Rocky's fleet.
