C421 The sudden arrival of the fleet (1/2)
Ever since Xiao Letian teleported, he had learnt his lesson. He swayed in the wind as if he was drunk, the Dragon Lord on the deck frantically rushed up, wanting to grab hold of him. However, they did not expect Xiao Letian to grab onto a rope three or four times, making him safe again.
Phew... Xiao Letian let out a long breath. His back was already drenched from this, and he swore that he wouldn't be playing at such heights for the rest of his life. But before the sweat on his back could evaporate, he looked up and broke out in a cold sweat.
”Holy sh * t, how can he let us live …” Xiao Letian started crying as he said this, he pointed towards the distance and said, ”Look, another fleet is here, looks like they are even warships …”
At this time, the position of the merchant ship was located in the gap between the two warships. People could finally see the situation on the starboard side of the French army.
Previously, Xiao Letian had personally experienced the difference in volume between a warship and a commoner ship. Once the heavy cruiser sails were opened, the entire surface of the sea would cast a huge shadow, shrouding Xiao Letian and the others within.
Tall poop buildings lay like a mountain over the heads of the people, and the huge sails shaded the sun from the small hearts of the people. At that time, there was a feeling that the whole world was covered by battleships.
It was under this psychological pressure that everyone's attention hit right in front of them. Not one of them was paying attention to the entire sea area.
Although Xiao Letian almost went into an accident, he was able to jump out of his emotions due to the stimulation. It was due to his scattered emotions, as well as the gap that appeared when the French warships were dislocated that caused him to notice something strange.
From the northwest of the ocean, a faint black line was moving towards here. Although Xiao Letian had never been a sailor or sailor, he knew that it was impossible for them to be travelling in groups of whales.
Is it not enough for the French to send three battleships after me?
Hearing Xiao Letian's shout, the sailors all started to climb up the mast. However, the sail of the cruiser was simply too high, even if lookout hand was standing at the top, they still could not see through him.
And now that the third cruiser had been moved to the starboard side of the battleship, the two ships had only been able to observe for three to four minutes.
At this time, the people stopped shouting and the war of words had stopped. Even if Xiao Letian did not shout, everyone could feel the strange atmosphere in the French Fleet.
”The French are breaking away from us? What was going on? Do you think that fifty meters is too close, and that firing a cannon won't be a martial arts victory? Do you really want to take turns firing from a few hundred meters away, using us as targets for practice? ”
”Shut your crow's beak. Look up and take a good look. Even a fool would know that the French are on the starboard side and aren't targeting us at all …” ”I was in the navy before, so I'm very sensitive to the murderous aura on the battlefield …”
Time passed minute by minute, and in this strange atmosphere, the third cruiser also passed the merchant ship. Everyone's eyes suddenly opened as the situation on the sea became clear.
”Oh, God! It's a fleet... There's a fleet from the northwest... Too far away for me to see... But the scale must be quite large... ”This is too shocking, to be able to pull out such a black shadow even from so far away …”
Portugal's merchant ships and fishing boats were in a state of ecstasy. ”Long live...” ”Thank God …” Everyone could see that even if the French were so hostile and murderous, these ships would not be allied with them.
Xiao Letian held the rope tightly in his hands. He could already guess the answer just by thinking about it, this was the Northern Sea of Europe, this was the gateway to the North Atlantic. There was only one fleet that was as arrogant as a ruler here.
”Brothers, tidy up your uniforms and take out your best postures …” The one who came from the opposite side was the British Navy, the strongest weapon in this era for the human world … ”
”We... A group of weaklings from East Asia who had just started out were going to experience the might of the world's strongest today … All of you, straighten your chests, so that I won't lose face … ”
”Oh …” An Englishman! Royal Navy... ” Everyone on the deck shouted as they all stood up, each and every one of them looked towards the west with their eyes lit up. Everyone became excited, even Xiao Hexin who had his legs injured had also struggled and stood up with his crutches.
Soldiers were always sensitive to power. As the most elite among the Chinese Army in this era, Xiao Letian's new army were all filled with curiosity towards the strongest warrior in the world. They had all kinds of questions in their hearts, but in the end, they all came to a conclusion.
”What does this fleet that can fight all over the world and establish a strong British Empire look like?”
Yes, even Xiao Letian was very curious, the lead ink in the history books, and the old drawings, simply could not support Xiao Letian in constructing a strong fleet in his mind.
