Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 251 The Destroyed Half of the Fleet

France, Caen Port, the station of the French Royal Fleet.

The port of Caen is a military port. In addition to the docks with giant ships moored along the coastline, there are huge docks, and neatly arranged naval barracks. Not far from the port, there is also a city of Caen. , Most of the people living in it are the families of officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy.

On this day, the city of Caen was decorated with lanterns and festoons, colorful flags fluttering, gongs and drums were loud, and the streets and alleys were carefully cleaned, making them extraordinarily bright and spotless.

The people in the city also dressed very formally. The officers put on their uniforms, and the soldiers put on their uniforms. Even the family members found out their brightest clothes and jewelry and put them on themselves.

All these solemn preparations are just for one purpose.

That is to meet the founder of the First French Empire, His Majesty the great Emperor Napoleon!

In the past two years, brand-new warships have been continuously launched into the sea in the dock outside the city, and the boys in the barracks have been practicing day and night. Today, the brand-new French Royal Fleet has begun to take shape!
And His Majesty the Emperor will also take a few days out of his busy schedule to come to Caen Port to inspect his fleet.

Finally, under the eager waiting of the soldiers and civilians in the city, the sound of horns sounded from a distance, and His Majesty's imperial chariot was about to overtake Caen!
It's getting closer, it's getting closer, it's getting closer, and amidst the sound of joyful music, His Majesty's imperial driver entered the city of Caen.

Countless people on both sides of the street waved flowers, and on the windowsills of buildings, there were also countless people cheering.

The convoy slowly moved forward on the main road of Caen, and people finally saw the figure they had been looking forward to and dreaming of for a long time, the figure who was not very tall, but full of wisdom and courage, and led them to revive France. The figure of him was standing in front of their eyes, standing on the golden carriage, smiling and waving to them.

Everyone shouted loudly, and the waves of cheering wave after wave, like the waves of the sea, turbulent in the city.

But His Majesty's royal driver did not stay in the city for a long time, but drove straight out of the city. The destination of their trip was the port where the huge fleet was stationed.

In the port, under the leadership of the officers, the navy soldiers are already ready for battle.

Outside the barracks was a neat phalanx. On the warship, there were rows of straight poles. Everyone greeted their emperor with the most brave and senseless posture.

The moment the golden royal car appeared, all the soldiers and officers began to cheer, and their voices were incomparably neat: "Long live His Majesty Napoleon! Long live France! Long live the First French Empire!"

The neat cheers resounded through the sky accompanied by their patriotic hearts.

The convoy was getting closer and closer. Finally, it stopped outside the barracks. While waving, His Majesty the Emperor got out of the carriage and started this inspection with the accompanying high-ranking officials and ministers.

Of course, there is nothing to see in the barracks. There is not much difference between the barracks of the navy and the barracks of the army. For His Majesty the emperor who was born in the army, he has long been tired of seeing it.

The naval generals who guided the inspection also clearly understood this point. After a short tour in the barracks, they brought the emperor and his party to the port, followed the stairs paved with red carpets, and boarded a brand new huge ship. warship.

His Majesty the Emperor is obviously very interested in this majestic behemoth, his eyes are full of novelty, and the smile on his face is also very bright.

As the commander of the French Royal Fleet, Marshal Louis immediately began to introduce: "This new galleon is the main battleship of our navy. It was redesigned and built after many improvements to the original Spanish galleon, with a total length of 50 meters. , with a displacement of 550 tons, the speed at full sail is 15% faster than the Spanish galleon, and it is far easier and more flexible than the Spanish galleon in terms of maneuverability. It can be said that it is currently the most advanced warship on the entire continent! "

"Well, not bad, not bad." His Majesty the Emperor nodded in satisfaction, "Then how many warships of this level do we have?"

"Report Your Majesty, we now have a total of 18 ships. The construction of new galleon sailing ships is very difficult and requires high materials and technology. At the current speed, all our shipyards are fully constructed, and at most one year can only Ten built," Marshal Louis reported.

"Oh, so, what about the other ships?" His Majesty the Emperor continued to ask, pointing to the surroundings.

"A complete navy needs a lot of various auxiliary ships. For example, those with big bellies are Karaka-type sailing ships, which are specialized troop carriers that can carry more than 500 soldiers at a time! And that The long boat on the side is a clipper-style sailboat, which is extremely fast and is usually used.” Marshal Louis introduced in detail.

Then inspected the cabin, the ballista room, the captain's room, the sailor's dormitory and other important host parts of the warship, and the group returned to the deck again.

The accompanying senior officials and generals also started more detailed inquiries.

For example, a beautiful female general next to His Majesty asked a sharp question: "I saw the ballista warehouse just now. Why are there only 16 ballistas? I remember that on the main battleships of the British, there are usually More than 20 ballistas."

Marshal Louis hurriedly explained: "Oh, that's right, because the British used old-fashioned galleons, which were larger, so they loaded more. But in this way, their warships are not flexible enough, and their speed is not as fast as ours. New warships. On the contrary, although we don’t have so many ballistas, we"

He only explained halfway, and was interrupted by a rush of horns.

And at the place where the horn sounded, on the high cliff beside the port, on the towering observation platform, violent black smoke was burning!
That's the beacon!It's a sign of enemy attack!
Who is it that dares to attack here?
Who is it that dares to attack the French Royal Fleet?

Who dares to attack the port of the French Royal Fleet at this time?

Everyone has questions in their minds, but there are no answers. Fortunately, everyone seems to be relatively calm and not too panicked. A strong sense of security.

Only Marshal Louis was furious, and he gritted his teeth and asked his subordinates: "What's the situation? Who came to attack us? Pirates? Or other countries' fleets? Hurry up and ask me!"

But before the subordinate ran far, a dark fleet appeared on the sea level far away!

The pitch-black hull and pitch-black canvas, from a distance, looks like a thick black line between the sea and the sky, which looks indescribably weird.

When he saw the black line, Marshal Louis's heart skipped a beat, and a feeling of something bad happened spontaneously.

He made a decisive decision and immediately issued an order: "Set the sails! Harness the anchor! Prepare to meet the enemy! All leave the port! Destroy those enemies who don't know how to live or die! Let His Majesty the Emperor witness your courage!"

The port of Caen is far away from commercial roads, and fishing boats seldom appear nearby. If such a large fleet suddenly arrives on the opposite side, there is only one possibility!They are here to attack the enemy!

The sailors began to rush onto the ship, frantically busy, the fixed anchors were taken up, the cables were cut, the sails were lowered, and the flag of the Royal French Navy was hoisted.

But the enemy came too fast!
When they blocked the entire estuary, only a small half of the ships left the dock.

At the same time, everyone also saw their appearance clearly.

Long clippers with dragon heads, blood-red skeletons on the canvas, skeletons all over the hull, strong men with horn helmets, axes and shields
All the distinctive features, let everyone recognize their identities.

That's Vikings!This is the fleet of Vikings!

But why are they here?Don't they generally just rob merchant ships?Even if you plan to rob the port, instead of going to those bustling commercial ports and small coastal towns with weak defenses, why come to our military port?
Questions came to Marshal Louis's mind one after another, but he couldn't find the answer.

Suddenly, blessed to the soul, he remembered the fortress of the Navy Headquarters half a year ago, the roof of which was stepped on by a foot, and a faint, bad feeling emerged in his heart.

Glancing at His Majesty the Emperor behind him with a livid complexion, Marshal Louis had no choice but to negotiate first.

Fortunately, his own strength is good. With internal strength, his voice spread far away: "The other side is Lord Rolf, the Viking pirate king? I am Louis, the commander of the French Royal Fleet! I didn't know that your department came to our port of Caen , what's the point?"

After waiting for a long time, when Marshal Louis was about to break out in cold sweat, a rough and clear voice sounded from the tallest and most terrifying battleship opposite: "Of course we are not here to be guests, we are here specially for Look for your Majesty the Emperor!"

Sure enough, it was for the Emperor!
Damn it!I don't know which bastard sold the inspection information to these Vikings!
Glancing at His Majesty the Emperor, whose complexion was turning livid and full of anger, Marshal Louis bite the bullet and said again: "I don't know why Your Majesty Rolf is looking for our Majesty?"

After another long wait, a tall figure slowly rose from the terrifying giant ship opposite, stopped directly in mid-air, condescending, his voice was still rough, but threatening: "We hope he can release a People! And don’t trouble that person in the future!”

free someone?

Marshal Louis thought for a while, and then explained: "Your Excellency Rolf! You made a mistake, your brother is no longer with us in France. He left us more than half a year ago, and now he is missing. We I also spent a lot of energy looking for it, but we don't know where he is now!"

The aura of the Martial Saint-level powerhouse overwhelmed the audience, and the royal guards stood firmly in front of His Majesty the Emperor, while some important officials tried to persuade His Majesty to take refuge first.

But the Emperor Napoleon did not leave the deck, but remained standing there, facing the current tense atmosphere.

The other side did not answer for a long time, but under the astonished eyes of everyone, another figure slowly rose from the terrifying giant ship, standing side by side with the famous Viking pirate king.

And the sharp-eyed people at the scene discovered that this figure was indeed the long-lost Arnold!But now, he has both arms, and he is even taller!

I only heard him speak slowly, with a firm voice: "Is Miss Sophie there? I don't care if it's your own intention or His Majesty's intention, I hope you can release Baron Leon immediately! Give him freedom! And don't look for him again in the future." he!"

Baron Leon?Who is that?

Marshal Louis couldn't figure it out, so he had to turn around and look behind him.

His Majesty the Emperor was frowning tightly, while the general Sophie who asked him a question just now had a pale complexion and clenched silver teeth.

Seeing that her face changed a few times, she took a step forward, mobilized her internal strength, and said loudly: "Arnuo! Your young master is not in my hands now! He has already escaped! I don't know where he went !"

There was another silence on the other side, and he didn't speak for a long time, but the faint coercion in the midair seemed to be stronger, and the almost oppressive person couldn't breathe.

Suddenly, the two people in mid-air moved. Although they didn't speak, one of them raised the hammer on his waist, while the other pulled out the mace behind his back.

That's a sign of offense!
Then, they go straight down!

It was as if two swift bolts of lightning, with the violent power of the Nine Heavens Thunder, hit the port all at once!Hit the port of stop yes, those battleships!
"Boom!" With a loud noise, a huge gap was broken in a battleship, and endless sea water began to pour in.
"Boom!" There was another loud noise, and the deck of a warship was interrupted by the middle, quickly split in two, and sank into the sea in two directions.
"Boom!" Another battleship capsized.
"Boom!" Another battleship was scrapped.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!".
The two frantically began to destroy the fleet in the port as if they were tireless.

Countless sailors cried and howled, and fell into the water with a plop; some slashed with knife energy, some punched with strength, but for the martial arts saint, these weak attacks were useless; , but the huge arrows and boulders shot out couldn't touch them at all.
Seeing the increasingly miserable scene in front of him, and seeing those two terrifying powerful men raging everywhere, His Majesty the Emperor pursed his lips, but he didn't speak, and he didn't give any order.

Marshal Louis wanted to order the fleet to attack the Viking fleet not far away several times, but he opened his mouth but didn't speak.

Without the containment of the Martial Saint level, he can only be beaten when he goes up!

He didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor didn't send experts to stop those two villains.

Isn't there those three "Goddesses of the Night", isn't that Captain D'Artagnan also broke through to the Martial Saint level not long ago?Why not send them out?And let those two pirates destroy this precious fleet built with painstaking efforts?

Finally, I don't know if they were tired or they had vented enough, the two terrifying strongmen slowly lifted into the air again and stopped in mid-air.

Looking down at the mess on the sea, the terrifying strong man with a mace said: "I will verify what you said! But if you deceive me, we will come back and destroy this place." The other half!"

After all, the two giants flew back to the terrifying giant ship again, and drove away with the huge fleet. After a while, they disappeared on the far sea level.

Marshal Louis sighed, and began to issue orders to organize rescue and salvage. He was also preparing to meet the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor.

But as expected, the anger did not come. After standing blankly on the deck for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor disembarked the battleship with a group of senior officials and generals with gloomy faces who hesitated to speak.

The group of people returned to the car, without stopping or leaving a word, they left Caen straight away and drove away.
