Battle Summary:
The Battle of the North Ocean was a catastrophic defeat for the Britannia Kingdom and marked the beginning of Latvia's naval dominance in the region. Duke Farl's navy, once considered one of the strongest in Britannia, was completely annihilated by the overwhelming force of the Latvia Navy, which employed advanced warships and sea monsters to devastating effect.
The Engagement:
The battle began at dawn, with Duke Farl's fleet forming a defensive line to block the Latvian advance. The Britannian galleons and carracks opened fire with their cannons and ballistae, targeting the larger Latvian warships. Initially, the Britannian forces held their ground, inflicting significant damage on the Latvian fleet.
However, the tide of the battle quickly turned when the Latvian sea monsters entered the fray. Giant krakens and sea serpents tore through the Britannian ships, their massive tentacles and jaws crushing hulls and dragging vessels beneath the waves. The Latvian warships, with their reinforced hulls and superior firepower, overwhelmed the Britannian fleet, sinking ship after ship.
