Chapter 1288 (1/2)
According to the movements of the remaining ships of the Royal Fleet, Su Cheng keenly judged that the Royal Fleet wanted to retreat.
Su Cheng naturally will not let go of the Royal Fleet that has become a rout.
He ordered:
”All warships No. 3 stayed to search for survivors. Other ships, pursue the enemy. ”
There must be few people who can survive the fire attack.
But Su Cheng decided to leave a large number of people to search for survivors.
This is not only his due responsibility as commander-in-chief of the whole army.
At the same time, it is also the only way he can make to slightly calm his apology.
……
……
When the United Fleet began to chase the remnants of the Royal Fleet——
Somewhere on the shore of Lake ANGA.
”Cough! Cough! ”
He held his hands on the ground and coughed violently.
After breathing well, Doppler rubbed the drops of water on his face and complained.
”I thought the lake would be warmer after being roasted by such a fierce fire... It turned out to be so cold...”
Although it is still summer, Doppler still feels his body cold after soaking in the cold lake for so long.
But Doppler doesn't have the time to slowly take off his wet clothes and dry them.
After wiping the water off his face, Doppler immediately looked at an old man lying next to him.
”Hello! Uncle! Are you okay? ”
This old man is Gerhard, Doppler's uncle who likes to preach Doppler very much.
Doppler put his ears close to Gerhard's chest.
A fairly powerful heartbeat passed into Doppler's ears.
”Smelly boy... Don't listen...”
Gerhard, who had closed his eyes tightly, opened his eyes a little.
”I'm not dead yet...”
Doppler breathed a sigh.
”Uncle, you're not dead... Great.”
”When I was swimming in the lake with you on my back just now, I was still worried about whether you, an old man, would die because you couldn't stand the cold lake water.”
”Although I'm not dead yet, I'm so cold... Is there anything to keep out the cold...”
”Uncle, the warmest thing at present is my arms. Do you want it?”
”No, thanks. Thanks to your words, I have goose bumps on my skin now - I'm colder now. ”
”That's too much, uncle. Didn't we always cuddle together before? ”
After that, Doppler stood up and helped Gerhard up.
”Uncle, this place is not safe yet. Let's run to a safer place before we rest.”
”Wait... You guy, do you want to be a deserter?”
Doppler sighed, ”uncle, look at the lake behind us.”
”Our army is now in a rout and has been chased by the joint fleet.”
”The whole army is in flight.”
”Now we just follow the footsteps of the big forces and try our best to escape from the battlefield where there is no chance to win.”
”I don't know how long it will take to return to the Frankish empire from this ghost place...”
After being defeated by Alan and jumping out of the lake, Doppler immediately found his uncle's ship, took his uncle swimming and absconded together, and fled the one-sided battlefield.
”How could...” gehande painfully closed his eyes, ”our army... Was defeated...”
”Don't be too sad, Uncle...” Doppler comforted Gerhard. ”We... Still have the hope of turning defeat into victory...”
”Boy... Do you think I'm a fool who can't understand the war situation?”
”Do you think I don't know what this water war means to our army... No, to our country...”
”It's over... Everything's over... Our fleet... And... Nibelungen plan...”
Doppler: ”...”
