At the western entrance of Watcher Strait, aboard the Damen Battleship,
Ten minutes prior, around one-thirty, the telegraphic officer had delivered the latest battle report: all four Myogi class cruisers of the Fifth Cruiser Corps had been sunk.
Although utterly shocked, Takano did not show it.
Encountering the Liangxia Navy's Domestic Fleet here was not a surprise for Takano. It had been expected, and it would have been strange not to encounter them.
On the contrary, the reports from Takatoku and Takeo, which arrived one after another, not only surprised Takano but were also completely unbelievable.
After the battle commenced, the Rixiang first suffered severe damage, followed by the Yishi, which was focused upon by enemy fire and even had its communication center destroyed. However, the subsequent telegrams transmitted by the Fusang claimed that Takatoku had heavily damaged four enemy ships, with at least one losing its combat capabilities.
But that was not all.
