The 28th Fleet of the Indiana Empire broke formation first.
From the Bernard command bridge, it was like watching a tide twist itself into a spear. Two hundred and twenty warships shifted into a wide V-shape, the fastest ships—sleek Fire Galleys and enchanted Frigates—rushing to the front. Behind them came Arcane Galleons and thick-hulled Ships of the Line, cannons loaded, sails glowing with arcane propulsion. At the very rear, towering above all, was the monstrous Nagaratha-class carrier, Vosha, its magic tower dormant—for now.
Hundreds of flying beasts darkened the sky above the fleet—Thunderbirds crackling with storm energy, winged serpents with steel-like scales, and griffin riders forming arrowhead squadrons.
