Off the coast of the Sahara,
A European lookout was routinely inspecting the horizon, as always, carefully watching for a possible attack from the Bharatiya Empire.
The attack launched by the Bharatiya Navy on the English Isles had been devastating, and England had only recently started to recover. It had not been long since all the shipyards and ports were brought back to full order, and England did not want to be caught off guard a second time, and more importantly, Europe did not want to be caught off guard as well.
As a result, while the number of warships patrolling the Atlantic Ocean had been drastically reduced in order to conserve forces and accumulate strength for a decisive battle, the number of scouting vessels and small, fast boats had increased dramatically.
The lookout was only one among several thousand, routinely patrolling the waters, constantly searching for any sign of the enemy.
