After the complete defeat of the "poor man's crusade", the death-seeking behavior of the Europa barbarians completely annoyed Li Lu, and he mobilized his army from three directions, southeast and north, to Enova, Burgundy, Ravenna and Rome, these anti-British forces concentrated in the area, although the feudal lords of Western Europe put up stubborn resistance, but they were still defeated in the Battle of Locarno, if the British army did not have any idea of the poor and dying Western Europe, the entire Europa continent would fall under the control of Li Lu.......
After the British army won the Battle of Locarno, they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, mainly because Western Europe at this time was a barren land, far from being developed in later generations, such a barren land, it was difficult for Li Lu and the British Empire to be interested.Although the British army had no intention of advancing westward, Agatto, the organizer of the Crusades of this time and space, was not discouraged, he knew the Greek texts well, and he thought that he could follow the strategy of the Greeks and Persians in the war, as long as they defeated the British at sea, they could also play a role in repelling the British, so under his tandem, a combined fleet was quickly formed in the Mediterranean, and the commander of this fleet was Downs from Mysteria.
General Carter.Early this morning, Downs.
General Carter got up.After a sleepless night, his head was dizzy, and he had just wanted to go outside, when the guards came running to him and reported: "All the ships of the Combined Fleet have been assembled. ”Carter let out an "oh", and without even bothering to wash his face, he pulled his legs and ran towards the port.The once empty harbor was packed with more than 300 warships.Today, Carter will lead this huge fleet to the Le Pando Strait to fight the British to the death.As soon as he arrived at the port, his lieutenant greeted him and shouted to him: "Here you are, here you are!"
”He reported a series of figures, "Stillria came 56 warships, 12,000 men; the 28th Burgundy, 5,000 men; Even Provence came with 41 ships, more than 3,000 people.."
Carter interrupted him and asked, "How many are there?"
”The adjutant said, "Twenty thousand, at least twenty thousand!"
”He glanced up, then pointed to a few warships in the distance that were approaching this side and said, "Look, that's the honorary soldiers organized by the Friends of several countries. ”"How many?""
3,500 people."
Carter said majestically: "As planned, set off on time!"
”When the sun leaped out of the sea, the trumpet sounded, and the huge fleet was about to pull anchor and set sail.Carter was about to board the ship when he heard someone in the crowd on the shore shouting at him, "Child, my child, wait a minute!"
”"It's Mother!
How did she come!
”Carter's mother and father were both devout Christians, and his father was involved in the previous Battle of Locarno, in which Carter Sr. was beaten into a sieve.Hearing the news, Carter did not shed tears, gritted his teeth and swore in his heart: If you don't defeat the British, you won't be born to your parents.He took his mother's hand and comforted her softly, but she stopped crying and sobbed quietly.Behind him, many Christians gathered, all of whom looked at Carter with tears in their eyes, silently praying for them and seeing them off.Carter let go of his mother's hand: "I'm gone, mother!"
”He took a few steps back and waved at everyone on the shore, "Don't worry, I'll be back, for I'm old Carter's son!"
”The mother also raised her hand and said, "Go, I am waiting for your good news!"
”The battleship slowly left the shore, and suddenly, a sweaty young man came out of the crowd, and as he ran, he shouted: "Wait, wait!"
”Before Carter could see clearly, the young man jumped onto the ship.The ship was a foot away from the shore, and without stepping a step, it fell into the water with a "bang".The boat's oarsman stretched out countless large arms to pull him up, and he thanked him repeatedly, limped up to Carter, saluted, and said, "General, let me follow you too, my brother was killed by the hateful British in the previous Battle of Locarno." ”He swallowed and continued, "I'm going to avenge him."
Kart nodded and said, "So you're here, aren't you?"
”The young man responded, "Yes, yes. ”He noticed Carter's eyes staring at his legs, and hurriedly explained, "I'm a cripple, I walk with a limp, like a snake swimming in water, and they all call me a water snake."
In the future, you can call me the water snake too!
I can swim more than 50 miles in the sea in one go, really, not to lie to you.Damn, if it weren't for the British robbers who cut my leg, I.."
Carter was touched and said, "Okay, welcome to our team." ”The sun rose, but as if covered by a thick fog, it turned into a round piece of terrazzo glass, dimmed, and the fleet sailed out of the bay, and Carter climbed the lookout and looked at the coast that was gradually moving away, and the thousands of people who saw them off on the shore had not yet left, and countless arms were waving at them, and he could not see which pair belonged to his mother, and his eyes were a little blurred, and he silently read in his heart: "Goodbye, I will not disappoint you!"
”He turned around and ordered the oarsmen to speed up and make sure they reached the Le Pando Strait at the height of the sun.The fog gradually melted, and the waves on the surface of the sea were dazzling, like mercury flattened, and it was impossible to force the eye.When the fleet entered a wide sea area, the lookout reported to him that the enemy's fleet had been spotted ahead.Carter immediately realized that the Le Pando Strait had arrived.Carter took the telescope from the lookout's hand and looked at it, and ho, there were dense ship masts in the distance when the water and sky met, it really looked like a forest on the sea.There was also a faint sound of military horns, which was the British Royal Navy saying "welcome" to him!
Carter ordered the fleet to be arranged in battle formations, with three teams on each side, in the shape of a half-moon.When everything was ready, he jumped on the podium, raised his sword and shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to defend your homeland and God, and prepare for battle!"
”The soldiers were so excited by their words that they shouted together: "Defeat!
Defeated!
”"The Combined Fleet will win!
Win!
”The wind rose, and the sea raised the fists of countless waves to shout and cheer for them.As soon as the charge was made, only the sound of oars lapping the water could be heard, and above this sound was the rhythmic shout of the oarsmen: "Victory!"
Victory!
”As soon as the fleet rushed up, a northwest wind suddenly blew on the sea, and the hot wind with a fishy wind rushed straight on the faces and bodies, and the whole body was as uncomfortable as being licked by tongues of fire, and some people began to vomit, and some even fainted on the boat, and the speed of the oars suddenly slowed down.Carter was so anxious that his heart rose to his throat, and he silently said to himself: "God, bless us, let the wind turn!"
”Strangely, after a while, the hot wind disappeared, and Carter thought to himself, could it be that his mother was still praying for him on the shore.
