Chapter 1213 Raymond Vs. Doppler
Doppler's battleship did not rush straight forward.
Instead, it walks in a winding snake shape.
Doppler's battleship numbers are No. 34, No. 35, and No. 36.
Among them, the battleship Doppler and his uncle Gehande were on was ship No. 35.
Therefore - Ship No. 35 is regarded as the flagship of this "Doppler Squadron" with only three warships.
Ship No. 35 rushed to the front, while Ship No. 34 and Ship No. 36 followed closely behind.
Doppler stood at the bow of the No. 35 ship, directing the advancement of the No. 35 ship.
Ship No. 35 turns right, and Ships No. 34 and 36 also have to turn right.
Ship No. 35 turns left, and Ships No. 34 and 36, which are following closely behind, have to turn left together.
…
…
"Turn left! Turn left!"
Doppler, who was standing on the bow of ship No. 35, was keeping a close eye on the combined fleet formation in front of him and observing its changes, while he was shouting orders to the messengers waiting behind him.
"Turn left and continue forward!"
"Yes!" A messenger shouted in agreement, then hurried back to the cabin to inform the sailors responsible for controlling the ship of the new order.
In order to more conveniently convey the military order to "change the ship's direction" to the soldiers in charge of the ship, Doppler equipped himself with 20 messengers.
These 20 messengers lined up in a long queue, taking turns to receive Doppler's new orders about the ship's redirection, and then passing the new orders to the soldiers in charge of the ship.
"Hey! Doppler!"
Gehande covered his head and shouted angrily at Doppler:
"What are you doing when you change directions so frequently?!"
"My instinct tells me - if you go in this direction, you will suffer the least damage."
After saying that, Doppler stretched out his right index finger and nodded his head.
"Before you rush to the ship of the Hyperian... I might die of seasickness..."
After saying this with an extremely ugly face, he supported his dizzy head with his hands and tried to stay awake.
Gerhand was quite disgusted with Doppler's behavior of relying heavily on his own intuition.
But Gerhand had to admit - Doppler's intuition was really accurate!
Just like now - Doppler relied on his own intuition to constantly change the ship's route.
Although the ship did not take a straight path, but a winding and serpentine path, Doppler's behavior of frequently changing the ship's route actually achieved good results.
First of all - the timing of their attack was clever.
It happened to be in the early morning when the sun was just rising.
Both the combined fleet and the royal fleet were busy arranging their formations at this time.
In short - the timing of Doppler's attack happened to be at the moment when the combined fleet was busy setting up its formation and the formation was at its most chaotic.
Along the way,
Doppler relied on his intuition to accurately find the weakest defense and most suitable position for breakthrough in the combined fleet's formation every time.
As a result, they have not suffered much damage so far. After all, the place they passed through has always been the most convenient weak spot in the military formation to break through.
It's just that Doppler can avoid the tough guys in the coalition formation by turning the ship.
But if the tough guy comes looking for him, Doppler still has nowhere to hide.
…
…
boom--!
Suddenly there was a loud noise.
Ship No. 35, where Doppler was located, shook violently several times at the same time as the loud noise was heard.
"what happened?"
After frowning and muttering like this, Doppler turned his head and shouted to the messenger closest to him:
"You go see what's going on!"
After the messenger responded, he immediately took off his feet and ran following the loud noise just now.
After a while, he returned to Doppler's side:
"Commander! An enemy ship is approaching our ship!"
"The loud noise just now was the sound made by the enemy ship accidentally hitting the hull of our ship when it was approaching our ship!"
"Although the enemy ship is not as fast as our ship, our ship has successfully thrown this enemy ship away."
"But in the short period of time when the enemy ship approached and came into contact with our ship, there were still many enemy soldiers entering our ship through the drawbridge!"
"Currently, the generals on our ship have begun to expel the enemy soldiers who invaded the ship!"
"The number of generals on our ship is far greater than that of the invading enemy!"
"Therefore - it won't take too long, we should be able to drive out all the enemy soldiers in the ship..."
Bang!
The messenger's report was not finished yet.
An unknown object suddenly broke into the field of vision of Doppler and the messenger.
A beautiful parabola drew in the field of vision of Doppler and the messenger, and hit the deck between Doppler and the messenger, making a low muffled sound.
It wasn't until the unknown object landed that Doppler finally saw what it was.
It's a human head.
To be precise - it was a human head still wearing the iconic pointed helmet of their Frank army.
There was a strong look of shock in the still wide-open eyes of this human head.
"Hey——!" The messenger who was reporting the situation to Doppler just now screamed, and then fell to the ground out of fear and surprise.
The rest of the messengers who had been following Doppler closely and waiting for orders, as well as Gehand, who had been standing beside Doppler and whose seasickness had eased a little, all cried out in low or high voices.
Only Doppler did not react.
But his expression became much more solemn.
"Hey! Judging from the armor you are wearing, you should be the commander of this warship, right?"
At this moment, a muffled male voice sounded.
Doppler followed the voice and slowly turned his head.
The person who spoke was a very strong man with short brown hair, blue eyes, a bloody axe in his hand, and a very strong figure.
After Doppler cast his eyes on the blue-eyed man, the blue-eyed man continued:
"Hey! Do you understand Britannia?"
As soon as the blue-eyed man finished speaking, Doppler smiled slightly.
Then he said in fluent Britannic:
"Of course I can understand it. You should also know that every senior general of the Frankish Empire can understand and speak Britannic."
The Britannic Empire is the old enemy of the Frankish Empire.
In order to fight against its old enemy, the Frankish Empire set a rule that all senior civil servants and military officers must be proficient in Britannic.
It is precisely because of this rule that the senior civil servants and military officers of the Frankish Empire are all proficient in Britannic.
It is also because of this rule that the senior military officers in the Frankish army can read all intercepted letters from the Britannic Empire without any obstacles.
Can use fluent Britannic to interrogate the spies and agents sent by the Britannic Empire.
Can use fluent Britannic to persuade the captured civil servants or generals of the Britannic Empire to surrender.
