"Cough, cough..." Hannah let out a uncomfortable cough. When she woke up, she couldn't help but spit out too much sea water in her stomach.

"You woke up?" Li Jinde rescued the person and pretended that nothing had happened.

"Am I already in heaven now?" Hannah looked at the surroundings in a daze.

"God of Heaven? Let's live well, Miss. Wipe your hair clean to avoid catching a cold. I also want to save other drowning people." Li Jinde handed over a dry towel.

"It's you, how could you be here? Are you from the Ottoman Empire?" Hannah saw Li Jinde, the only person who could communicate normally with her, and remembered that she was fighting against Turkish soldiers, and looked around in fear.

"The war has ended, the Ottoman fleet was destroyed, and we won a great victory. Now we are saving the soldiers who fell into the water, thanks to your life, so why don't you stay on Malta? Do you know that you almost lost your life?" Li Jinde, as a father whose daughter was just born, was a little sympathetic to Castella's feelings of protecting her sister.

Hanna saw that Li Jinde was teaching a lesson again, but when she thought that she really took the war for granted, she had to admit that Li Jinde was right, so she whispered: "Thank you..."

Li Jinde had already gone to rescue other drowning soldiers and did not hear Hannah's thanks.

The first aid he learned from the medical department can save many drowning people.

When Hannah saw Li Jinde performing chest compressions and artificial respiration on the drowning sailor, she couldn't help but think about whether Li Jinde did this to her when she was in a coma?

Thinking of this, Hannah looked at her untied collar again, and she couldn't help but blush.

The combined fleet ships that were chasing the Ottoman Empire returned one after another to gather. The senior officers of the Fourth Fleet, the Royal Fleet, and the Malta Fleet were all on the ironclad ships with good hulls.

"All our ships in this decisive battle were light or severely damaged. This ironclad ship suffered the most shells, but the damage was not large." The officers of the Fourth Fleet reported their losses.

"Two frigates were severely damaged. The Shu Han was hit hard by the opponent's main force as the right wing, and the cracks appeared on the right side, and more than a dozen gun doors were invalidated. They needed to be repaired before the next sea battle. Otherwise, the hull would be unable to withstand the bombardment of similar levels again in the next sea battle and ruptured." During this period, the shipmaker inspected the Shu Han sail battleship of seventy artillery and came to an unoptimistic conclusion.

"In other words, we not only have two frigates this time, but also one battleship hull was severely damaged." Sun Xu himself commanded the Shu Han.

The Shu Han battleship does not have the armor like the iron armored ship, and it is still difficult to withstand the concentrated artillery of dozens of ships of large and small.

The tragic level of the battle can be imagined. Three of the 12 warships of the Fourth Fleet were severely damaged, while the remaining nine were damaged to varying degrees.

For the Fourth Fleet, which had not participated in any decent battles since its establishment, this naval battle allowed them to experience the real battle between death.

There were two or three hundred soldiers who were injured and killed in the naval battle, and this was the Fourth Fleet trying to avoid more tragic battles.

The Royal Navy, the Knights of Malta, and the Moroccan pirates led by Yansong were killed by the Ottoman fleet in this naval battle. Their losses on personnel and ships were far greater than those of the Fourth Fleet.

Together, they lost more than 1,500 sailors, soldiers, other personnel, two hundred cannons, and more than a dozen ships.

Almost all the lost ships were pirate ships snatched from Algiers, gallops used by the Knights of the Hospital, and no ships in the Fourth Fleet were sunk, while only one frigate in the Royal Navy was sunk by pirates.

Moroccan pirates who originally wanted to make a fortune with the Fourth Fleet were encouraged to participate in this naval battle. They were deployed in the central army to become cannon fodder troops, attracting the Ottoman fleet to attack them. Only more than 100 survived out of 500 people.

The property these pirates snatched in Algiers was buried at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea and they could no longer return to Morocco.

The other 100 surviving Moroccan pirates regretted their greed, but they all came to this point and were reluctant to give up on the subsequent looting, so they had to continue to mingle with the Fourth Fleet.

Defeating the Imperial fleet, it will take some time for the Ottoman Empire to reassemble such a fleet in the Mediterranean, which means that the Mediterranean portal is wide open, and the territory of the Ottoman Empire along the Mediterranean coast is under the attack of the joint fleet! The real plunder is about to begin!

"It has been a long time since there was such a large-scale naval battle in the Mediterranean. It is hard to believe that this is the naval battle that our fleet won." Sir Pennington was quite satisfied with the results of a frigate in the Royal Fleet that was sunk and the rest of the ships were damaged to varying degrees.

This time they captured more than 20 Ottoman ships of all sizes, and captured more than 3,000 prisoners.

As for the sunken warships, the enemies they killed were not counted, and they all sank to the bottom of the Mediterranean.

"The Crown Prince battleship was even more severe than your Shu Han, and was almost on the verge of sunk. It was pierced by the impact angle of two ships of the same size, and then the King of the sea hit the other's ship, tearing the wound apart. Fortunately, God blessed His Majesty the King, and this warship built by the former king for His Majesty the King did not sink. Our shipmasters and sailors are repairing it and they are expected to be able to sail barely." Earl of Straffor said.

The Crown Prince battleship was the most tragic sailing battleship in this battle. It was hit hard by two Ottoman ships and almost caused the hull to break.

"But the biggest loss this time is the members of the Knights of the Hospital, Castella, you can pick the Ottoman ships we captured first, you don't have to be polite." Sun Xu, as the commander-in-chief of the Joint Fleet, wanted to obtain the Malta military base in the Mediterranean, and when he was dividing the spoils, he also deliberately or unintentionally favored the Knights of the Hospital.

"I want that big sailing ship, which should be a ship built by the Spanish shipmasters captured by the Turks." Castella was not polite and wanted to leave the captive Big Vizier's ship.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, the Ottoman Empire was originally disdainful of using the Spanish ships, but unexpectedly secretly built the sailboats secretly or imitated the Spanish standard. The sailboats they worked hard to make were completely destroyed by us. It is hard to imagine how angry the Ottoman emperor would be about this." Sir Pennington did not object to Castella's imitation of the Spanish sailboats. They had better designs in Britain.
