Chapter 541

In the fifth year of Chongning—or rather, Taiyan, as it should be called—which was the year 1825, the Shun Dynasty navy engaged in a fierce battle against the British Royal Navy in the Atlantic. In that single engagement, they annihilated 154 enemy warships and 30 assorted auxiliary vessels. Following this battle, the British Empire was left with only its domestic army. Because there were virtually no major military campaigns taking place on the Greater Western Continent, the British had once feared that Napoleon would unify the continent and then turn his sights toward the British Isles. However, that momentum had been abruptly halted by practitioners sent over by the Shun Dynasty (or, more accurately, by the Wen Dao Sect). Since then, the nations of the Greater Western Continent had fallen into several years of turmoil. Half a year ago, the British Empire had recalled all its overseas garrison troops back to the mainland to prepare for any unforeseen emergencies. Consequently, the current British army, combined with various militias, amounted to approximately 250,000 men, and this number continued to grow as time passed.
