One must admit, fortune smiled upon the Imperial Navy once again.
Although usually, the Xu Sea is to the west of the Strait and the East Ocean is to the east, strictly speaking, the Watcher Strait runs from the northwest to the southeast.
When entering the battlefield, the Domestic Fleet was positioned to the northwest, while the Main Battle Corps that burst out from the strait was to the southeast.
This positioning directly determined the situation during the engagement.
Do not forget, it was deep winter, and the north wind prevailed both day and night.
To the northwest of the strait, there was a dense cloud drifting from the north; the Domestic Fleet was right underneath this cloud, untouched by the moonlight.
Conversely, the Main Battle Corps in the southeast was fully exposed under the bright moonlight.
