.    Chapter 23 Surprise Attack

    Germania is busy with civil war on this side.  On the other side, there was also a lot of noise in the court of Tristin.  Seeing that the marriage with Prussia was about to fall through, Tristin's eyes turned red from head to toe.  There was no military power like Prussia to back it up.  Can Tristine still be able to sustain himself in such a tumultuous situation?

    At this time, the diplomatic note sent by the Albi noble family government gave Tristin a hope.

    Originally, Tristin¡¯s imaginary enemy was Albion, the lawless nobles who overthrew the royal family.  But I didn't expect that these nobles were not as unbearable as they thought.  After gaining power in Albion.  There was no further expansion of power as previously expected.  Rather, it is willing to sign non-aggression pacts with other countries.

    If that¡¯s the case.  There is no need to worry about marriage.  After all, the danger has been resolved.  Then why would you give up your country to those barbarians in the North?

    Some big nobles have their own little plans again.  If this marriage with Prussia fails.  So does my own son (or simply myself) also have the opportunity to marry Her Highness the Princess?  And then take control of this country?  This is a country, a country!  !  Such benefits are enough to drive a sane person crazy.

    So, it was rare for Henrietta to receive a lot of "support" after making a mistake.  The nobles clamored that marrying the northern barbarian was to give him face.  Now that he is shameless, we don¡¯t have to worry about him.  Just do whatever you want to do.

    However, after Prussia defeated the coalition of southern princes and took the opportunity to take the entire Central Germania into its bag, such remarks evaporated instantly like water drops on the side of the stove.

    Yes, Albion may not need to worry anymore - but who knows whether the angry barbarians will take advantage of the situation to invade Torristin?  Who can guarantee this?

    ¡­Then, why not¡­send the princess over.

    "It's just that I'll send it over right now. It's up to you whether you want it or not."

    So what should we do?

    Just when Toristin was tangled up and down.  Albion unexpectedly extended an olive branch.  With the super first-class ship Lexington as its flagship, a large visiting fleet composed of fifty battleships is about to visit Torristin.  His Majesty Emperor Cromwell promised that on the basis of signing the non-aggression pact, he could also sign some "further" alliances.  Even a formal alliance with Torristin is not out of the question.

    So, Tristin cheered from top to bottom, and began to bow to the thief, recognize the thief as his father, and refer to the horse as the deer to lead the sheep - just like that, he regarded the original imaginary enemy as his savior.  Waiting excitedly for the arrival of the Albion fleet.

    A bunch of idiots.

    On the way to Berlin.  I received such news from the Intelligence Department.  Then issued this evaluation.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Has the Toristin man's head been clamped by men?  A visiting fleet would dispatch so many battleships, even with hundreds of dragon knights, and more than 3,000 elite air force marines?

    You don¡¯t even make a draft of a lie¡ªyou really think those troops are used to deal with me?  So fresh.

    "Never mind, just go to hell with those losers. Whether or not Torristine is annihilated has nothing to do with me. The most I can do is just be a favor and rescue Henrietta, and then use this as a pretext to help her regain her country."  ¡ª¡ªOf course, the fee is not low. By the way, there is also Louise. Speaking of which, we haven¡¯t seen each other for a while. I don¡¯t know how she is doing recently. I¡¯m a little worried"

    to be honest.  Louise's life has indeed not been very good recently.  As Henrietta's messenger, he was also one of the main people responsible for indirectly ruining this marriage.  Louise has spent these days in self-blame.  I feel that I have failed heaven and earth, I have failed Princess Henrietta and King Baldwin, and I have failed the people of Tristin - especially when I have developed strange feelings for King Baldwin.

    ??Lu Yisi felt that she was terrible.  Just like the shameless woman who stole her best friend's husband.

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

    At the beginning, Louise heard that I had postponed the wedding indefinitely due to opposition in Prussia.  So frustrated.  Later, when I heard about the civil war in Germania, I was worried to death for my safety.  During my retreat days.  News of Prussia's defeat spread widely.  Louise even hid in bedI secretly cried a few times.  A few days later, the war situation took a turn for the worse.  Louise was surprised but also felt extremely happy.  The thought of "As expected of the man I chose" flashed across his mind.

    Louise, it seems she misses me a little.

    May 14th.  morning.  Albion's fleet appeared mightily on the land of Toristin.  The officer on Tristin's side muttered to himself: They are just a group of upstarts, they don't have any airs.  While looking at the opponent's flagship Lexington with an expression of envy and hatred - it was a super first-class battleship equipped with a 122-meter cannon.  The undisputed king of the air.

    "What arrogant guys, these Albion bastards have been delayed for almost an hour so far." The fleet admiral who was in charge of welcoming Torristin complained.

    "Do you want to report it to your superiors and issue a diplomatic note to condemn their behavior?" the first mate next to the admiral asked.

    "Forget it, what's the use of talking about this now. The nobles are still counting on these upstarts to protect them." Admiral Toristin, who was in charge of the reception, said: "Let's fire off the salute."

    "Twenty-three rings?" the first mate asked.  This is the highest courtesy for visitors.

    "No need, those upstarts won't care about this - seventeen rings are enough." The captain replied.

    So the first mate walked out with a smile and ordered the artillery gunner to discharge the empty shells.

    But soon they stopped laughing - after Torristin fired blank bombs, a warship on the Albion side suddenly exploded violently.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± Fleet Admiral Torristin asked loudly.  The others also looked baffled.

    "Is there a malfunction?" someone explained.

    "Really, these Albion dogs don't even remember how to operate a battleship?" Admiral Toristin said contemptuously.  After this, the second officer, two messengers and the staff officer in the captain's room laughed in agreement.

    "Albion answered him with a broadside salvo."  And: "In view of your unprovoked attack on our fleet, we are forced to resolutely fight back in self-defense.", a declaration of war amplified by magic.

    The huge 32-pound cannon on the bottom floor, the second and first tiers, and the 24-pound cannon on the deck roared together, shooting out the projectiles, hitting the hull of the battleship opposite Toristin.  of fragmentation.  Immediately afterwards, the Albion fleet quickly turned around, and the artillery on the other side fired shells loaded with high-explosive ammunition, which followed the huge gap made by the previous solid lead bullet and entered the hull of the Toristin battleship.  And there was a violent explosion.

    In just one encounter, in less than five minutes, Toristin lost eight warships of various types.  The remaining twelve battleships were also injured.  After that, Admiral Toristin felt severe pain in his ears and eyes, and when he stretched out his hand, it was filled with blood - he was probably deafened by the shelling just now.

    "Damn it! These bastards have no good intentions at all! Their artillery must have been loaded a long time ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fire the projectiles so quickly!!" In the shaking cabin, the fleet admiral suddenly woke up.  He came over and let out a wild howl like a wounded beast.

    ¡°These bastards are here to fight us! Fight back! Fight back!! Kill them!!!¡±

    However, not everyone can reflect like him.  Most of the sailors and crew of the Toristin fleet.  Still wavering between bafflement and panic.  What's even more tragic is that during the round of shelling just now.  The Torristin fleet's gun emplacements have lost many.  It is almost wishful thinking to make a powerful counterattack under such circumstances.

    "Counterattack! Did you hear that!! I am the admiral of the fleet!! Herald! Signal signal!! Tell them to counterattack!! Correspondent, send the dragon knight to report the news! Call for reinforcements!!!"

    The fleet admiral shouted, but no one could respond to him.  Through the light coming from the newly dug cave, the admiral found that the two messengers in the entire captain's room had fallen to the ground.  One of them looked like he'd been knocked out by the cannon.  The other one was even worse, with half of his head cut off by shrapnel.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± the admiral cursed, and then limped along the corridor to the various gun emplacements below the deck.  After some hard work, I finally found a cannon that had not been destroyed.  But a few artillery gunners were also missing.

    "As long as it works!" The admiral's eyes flashed with fanatical flames, and then he alone picked up the solid lead bullets and stuffed them into the barrel along with an excessive amount of black fire elixir.

    "You bastard of Albion! Eat me!"gun!  !  "The admiral yelled like this, and then lit the fuse behind the barrel - and then, with a "boom", the cannon exploded with too much gunfire. Along with the somewhat nervous admiral,  And his flagship burned into a fireball and fell from the sky.

    From beginning to end, Toristin's fleet failed to fire a single cannonball.
