Chapter 979: Battle of the Rhineland (Part 3)

"Father, is it really okay for us not to leave here?"

"Ah, do you think I don't want to leave here?" Bernie sighed and continued to his son, "We can't leave. We don't have dry food. If we leave the village, we will starve to death. Since we will definitely die if we leave here, it is better to stay here. If we stay here, we may have a chance to survive."

This middle-aged man named Bernie is the head of the fishing family who has not evacuated the whole village.

Their village is an unknown village near the Isu River, and Bernie and his son and wife mainly make a living by fishing in the Isu River.

Although life is very hard, they can still make ends meet.

Because of their poor family background, there is not enough dry food to escape, so their family of three became the only family in the village who did not flee here.

Not only can they not escape, but in order to make a living, they have to go to the Isu River to fish as usual.

At dawn, Bernie took his only son to the Isu River and prepared to start today's work.

Before reaching the Isu River, the only son, who was very worried about the current dangerous situation, could not help but suggest to Bernie to escape from here.

So there was the conversation just now.

Bernie was not a fool, and he also knew that it was very dangerous to stay here.

But he knew even more clearly that if he left the village, he and his family would be in greater danger. There was no dry food at home, so where could they escape to?

So Bernie had to bite the bullet and continue to stay here with his family.

After arriving at the bank of the Isu River, the father and son walked quickly to the place where their fishing boat was hidden.

Their fishing boat was hidden in a dense grassy area somewhere on the bank of the Isu River.

The father and son worked together to lift the fishing boat and throw it into the river, then got on their small broken boat and officially started today's work.

Just as Bernie skillfully cast the fishing net into the river, he suddenly heard some strange noises.

"Hmm?" Bernie frowned, "Son, did you hear a strange sound?"

After hearing what his father said,

the son pricked up his ears and began to listen carefully to the movements around him.

After listening carefully to the movements around him, the son also discovered this strange sound.

"Hmm! Father, I heard it too, what is this sound..."

It was the first time for both father and son to hear such a strange sound.

And this strange sound was getting louder and louder...

The two looked around, trying to find the source of this strange sound.

At this moment, the son suddenly screamed, pointed to the river surface in the east, and shouted:

"Father! Look!"

Bernie immediately looked in the direction pointed by his son.

The Isu River is a quiet river with no waves.

However, the Isu River showed its hideous and fierce side at this time.

The sky was a little cloudy today.

Under the gloomy sky, the previous calmness of the water surface in the east of the Isu River has gradually disappeared, and waves of waves higher than one wave have risen one after another.

Bernie and his son could see clearly that large black spots had gradually emerged where the water and the sky met.

After these large black spots gradually revealed their shapes, Bernie and his son opened their mouths gradually.

If there were others here at this time, they would definitely worry that Bernie and his son's jaws would be dislocated because they opened too wide.

These large black spots were large ships one after another!

Large ships as big as small mountains!

This was the first time Bernie and his son saw such huge ships.

Bernie felt that people on such huge ships might be able to run horses on them.

The largest ship the father and son had ever seen in their lives was their fishing boat.

Compared with these large ships, their small broken boat was like a mouse and a big dog...

The size difference between the two was at least dozens of times.

The huge waves caused by these large ships when they were moving might have sunk their fishing boats.

Both the father and son were shocked by the sudden appearance of this large fleet.

Fortunately, Bernie came back to his senses first.

Bernie, with an anxious look on his face, hurriedly woke up his son and said in a hurry:

"Run! Run back to the shore!"

The fleet was coming towards them.

And they and their fishing boat were docked in the middle of the Isu River. If they didn't escape quickly, they would be knocked over by the big ships of the fleet.

The son, who was woken up by his father, finally came to his senses and grabbed the wooden paddle next to him, intending to row the fishing boat back to the shore.

However, when he just took the wooden paddle, Bernie slapped his head in annoyance:

"Don't worry about the boat! It's too late! Swim back quickly!"

After that, Bernie pulled his son's clothes and pulled his son into the river, and then jumped into the river himself.

The fleet was very fast, and Bernie saw that they had no time to take the small fishing boat back to the shore.

So they had to abandon the fishing boat and swim back to the shore.

The father and son made a living by fishing, so they were naturally very good at swimming.

The two of them swam back to the shore quickly like two nimble fish.

As soon as they swam back to the shore, the large fleet arrived right in front of their small fishing boat.

As expected, their small fishing boat sank.

But it was not sunk by these large ships.

Instead, they were overturned by the huge waves that these big ships raised when they were moving.

Any wave raised by these big ships could overturn these small fishing boats.

The father and son had no time to feel sad about the sinking of their fishing boats.

The two of them just stared at the "hills" moving on the Issu River in amazement.

…

…

Issu River, the Royal Fleet of the Frankish Empire, the flagship Helles.

"Commander."

A soldier said respectfully to a burly man in front of him.

"Just now, a fishing boat and two fishermen were found in the middle of the river."

"At present, the fishing boat has been overturned. Do we need to kill the two fishermen?"

This burly man is not only very burly, but he also has a very conspicuous feature, that is, his nose is particularly large.
