Communication has been suppressed, leading to poor communication affecting the entire Fleet of the Laines Empire. If they could receive telegrams, they would probably have already heard the news that the joint Fleet of Dorne and the Great Qin Empire has been heavily damaged.
Of course, Dorne and Qin Country have ill intentions, as they did not inform Laines of their Fleet's heavy damage, or even their complete annihilation, and they even kept it confidential.
At least they did not send the news to the Laines Empire's embassy immediately, as they were busy rescuing the soldiers who fell into the water.
The Fleet of the Laines Empire is extraordinarily massive and also too dispersed. Dozens or even hundreds of sub Fleets form a Single Line Serpentine Formation, stretching for hundreds of nautical miles, completely relying on light signals and telegrams for coordination.
