The waves on the sea rolled, the dry cold northwest wind that blew from the dry land caused the winter sea to become violent. The seawater that was once azure darkened, and the endless sea waves with unpredictable power recklessly lifted and suppressed anything on the sea surface...
Among the raging waves, a fleet of twelve warships sailed stubbornly against the wind in rows of two, toward the dry land in a zigzag pattern. On the ninth day of the eleventh lunar month, this fleet completed the last sea patrol for this winter season and was on its way back to the harbor.
The huge lead ship for this fleet was the flagship of the Great Han Empire's Southeastern Navy — the Black Dragon Warship. It was nearly the height of a three-story building, more than twenty zhang in length, and the bow of the warship was extremely sharp with its metal enclosure. All of this contributed to the black giant ship's imposing aura.
