Chapter 23 Surprise Attack

On this side, Germania was busy with civil war. On the other side, Torristen's palace was also quarreling. Seeing that the marriage with Prussia was about to fail, Torristen's eyes were red from the top and bottom. Without a military power like Prussia to support her, can Torristen still support her in such a dynamic situation?

At this time, the foreign note sent by Albion aristocratic government gave Toristen a hope.

Originally, the imaginary enemy of Torristen was Albion, the lawless nobles who overthrew the royal family. But unexpectedly, these nobles seemed not as unbearable as they imagined. After obtaining Albion's regime, they did not further expand their power as expected. Instead, they were willing to sign a non-aggression treaty with other countries.

If this is the case, there is no need to worry about marriage. After all, the danger has been lifted. Then why should you give your country to the barbarians in the north?

Some great nobles started to make their own abacus again. If the marriage with Prussia fell apart this time, then would their son (or simply themselves) have the opportunity to marry His Highness the Princess and then control this country? This is a country, a country!! Such interests are enough to make a person full of rationality crazy.

So, after making a rare mistake, Anlietta gained a lot of "support". The nobles shouted that marrying the barbarian in the north was to give him face. Now he would give him a face, so we don't have to worry about him. Just do what he should do.

However, after Prussia defeated the Southern Princes' coalition and took the opportunity to take the entire Central Germania into his pocket, it evaporated instantly like water droplets by the stove.

Yes, Albion may not need to worry - but who knows whether the savage, who is angry, will take advantage of the opportunity to invade Toristen? Who can guarantee this?

…Then, why not... send the princess over.

But after sending it over now, it’s still a matter of whether they want it or not.

So what should I do?

Just as Torristen was in a state of confusion, Albion unexpectedly extended an olive branch. With the super-class ship Lexington as the flagship, a large visiting fleet of fifty battleships is about to visit Torristen. His Majesty Cromwell promised that on the basis of signing a non-aggression treaty, he could also sign some covenants "further" and even formally form an alliance with Torristen.

So, Torristen cheered up and down, and called the thief as his father and pointed to the horse as his deer and held the sheep. In this way, he regarded the original imaginary enemy as a savior and leaped to wait for the arrival of the Albion fleet.

A bunch of big idiots.

On the way to Berlin, I received such news from the Intelligence Department. Later, I made such comments.

Did the Torristen's head get clamped? A visiting fleet had to dispatch so many battleships, even with hundreds of dragon knights and more than three thousand sharp Air Marines?

I don’t have to lie and make a draft - I really think those troops are used to deal with me? It’s so fresh.

"No matter what, those wastes are just going to die. Toristen's immortality has nothing to do with me. At most, it's a favor, rescue Anlietta and help her restore the country under the name of this - of course, the cost is not low. By the way, there's Lu Yis. Speaking of which, we haven't met for a while. I don't know how she has been recently. I'm a little worried..."

To be honest, Lu Yis has not lived a very good life in recent times. As Anliette's messenger, he is also one of the main responsible persons for indirectly destroying this marriage. Lu Yis has been spending this day in self-blame these days. He feels that he is sorry for the world, Princess Anliette and King Baldwin, and the people of Torristen - especially when he has had a strange feeling for King Baldwin.

Lu Yisi felt like she was so bad. She was like a shameless NV person who stole her friend’s husband.

She forced herself not to think about me anymore. But the more this happens, the less I can calm my heart down. What's more, even if she doesn't think about it, she can still hear news about me from time to time in school.

At the beginning, Lu Yis heard that I had postponed my wedding indefinitely because of opposition in Prussia. So I felt very frustrated. Later, I heard that the civil war in Germania was so worried about my safety that I was dying. During the days when I retreated, news of the defeat of Prussia was rampant. Lu Yis even hid in the quilt and cried for a few times. After a few days, as the situation took a sharp turn, Lu Yis felt extremely happy while surprised. The thought of "I deserve to be the man I chose" flashed away.

Lu Yisi seems to miss me a little.

On the morning of May 14th, Albion's fleet appeared on Torristen's land. The officers of Torristen were murmured: It was just a group of nouveau riche, so what was so arrogant. While looking at the other party's flagship Lexington with an envious expression of jealousy and hatred, it was a super-class battleship equipped with a 122 mén cannon. The well-deserved air overlord.

"What a arrogant guy, so far, these Albion's eggs are almost a little late." The admiral of the fleet, whom Toristen was in charge of greeting, complained.

"Do you want to report to your superiors and issue an external note to condemn their behavior?" asked the first lieutenant next to the admiral.

"Forget it, what's the use of saying this now? The nobles are still counting on these nouveau riche to protect them." Admiral Toristen, who was in charge of the welcoming work, said: "Let's salute."

"Twenty-three sounds?" asked the first mate. This is the highest etiquette for the visitors.

"No need, those nouveau riche will probably not care about this - seventeen sounds are enough." The captain replied.

So the first mate walked out with a smile and ordered the gunner to release the empty bag and go there.

But soon they couldn't laugh - after Toristen's side fired an empty bag bomb, a battleship on Albion's side suddenly exploded violently.

"What's going on?!" asked the admiral of the Torristen fleet loudly. The others also looked inexplicably.

"Can it be a malfunction?" someone explained.

"Really, do you not even remember the battleships of Albion?" Admiral Toristen said contemptuously. After that, the second deputy in the captain's room, the two messengers and the staff officers, echoed and laughed.

Albion's side answered him in a round of sideways and: "In view of your unreasonable attack on our fleet, we are forced to fight back firmly in self-defense." The announcement of the declaration of war through a magic amplification.

The thirty-two-pound cannon at the bottom, the second and first levels, and the twenty-four-pound cannons on the deck, whistling out the projectiles and shattering the hull of the Torristen's battleship opposite. Then the Albion fleet quickly turned around, and the cannons on the other side fired high-explosion shells, and entered the hull of the Torristen's battleship along the huge gap made by solid lead bullets before. And a violent explosion occurred.

With just one meeting, in less than five minutes, Torristen lost eight warships of various types. The other twelve warships were also injured. After that, the admiral of the Torristen fleet felt a severe pain in his ears and eyes, and he stretched out his hand and was covered in blood - he was probably deafened by the shelling just now.

"Damn it! This group of dogs and bastards are not at all kind! Their cannons must have been loaded long ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fire the bullet so quickly!!" In the shaking uneasy cabin, the fleet admiral suddenly woke up and then let out a crazy howl like a wounded beast.

"These bastards are just here to hit us! Fight back! Fight back! Kill them!!!"

However, not everyone can reflect it like him. Most of the sailors and crew of the Torristen fleet are still swaying between inexplicable and panic. What's more sadly, in the round of artillery bombardment just now, the artillery position of the Torristen fleet has been lost a lot. In this case, it is almost a delusion to make a powerful counterattack.

"Counterattack! Did you hear it!! I am the Fleet Admiral!! Messenger! Tell them to fight back!! Correspondent, send the Dragon Knight to report the message! Call reinforcements!!!"

The Fleet Admiral yelled, but no one could respond to him. Through the light that had just been shot, the Admiral found that the two messengers in the captain's room were all lying on the ground. One of them seemed to be fainted by artillery. The other was even worse, and half of his head was cut off by shrapnel.

"Damn!" the admiral cursed, then limped down the corridor to various artillery positions under the deck. After some effort, he finally found a gun that had not been destroyed. Only a few cào gunners were also missing.

"It's enough to use it!" A frenzy flame flashed in the admiral's eyes, and then he lifted a solid lead bullet alone, and stuffed the black fire that exceeded the dose into the barrel.

"Albion's dog bastard! Take me a shot!" The admiral shouted like this, then ignited the fuse behind the gun barrel. Then, with a "boom", the cannon that was stuffed into too many fires exploded. As well as the somewhat neurotic admiral and his flagship ignited into a fireball, they fell from the sky in a swaying manner.

From beginning to end, Torristen's fleet failed to launch a shell.
