First battle of the San Marco Class Battleships Part : 2

13th March 1657

"Your Excellency, two enemy warships have been found," an Ottoman sailor called out.

Nazaruddin Hyder Khan immediately climbed up to the viewing platform and squinted his eyes as he looked at the horizon, where he saw two Venetian warships sailing towards the entrance of the Adriatic Sea.

"So it's really only two!" There was a hint of relief in his mind.

Getting down from the platform, he could hear the sneers and jokes from his men.

"Pfff, I said that whoever informed us that there were nearly a dozen enemy warships in the fleet should be hanged instead of being put into prison. That is too much benevolence from His Majesty."

"Yeah, look at these two ships sailing into the Adriatic Sea like they own it."

"I can't wait to get aboard those ships. I heard that a lot of goods are being brought back from the subcontinent. Maybe we could make a little money this time without much effort."
