The Great Tang Empire's plan to land on Ben Island was postponed, giving Shan Lu a sigh of relief. He also believed Ben Island would be difficult to attack and required more preparation time.
The Tang Navy Fleet's two battleships had exhausted the lifespan of their gun barrels and depleted their ammunition reserves during the naval battle at New Island.
Now, both warships had returned to Dragon Island to replace their gun barrels and replenish large-caliber shells.
Although Beiyuan City also housed a dedicated ammunition depot for these two battleships, a stockpile of 1,000 shells was no small number. The reserves on Dragon Island were relatively more abundant, so the two battleships returned there under the protection of other warships.
