Chapter 1182: Eastern Expedition!

Battle of Lake Anga——The world's largest naval battle in the Middle Ages. The fate of the Britannian Empire and the Frankish Empire all depended on this battle.

——Comments on the "Battle of Lake Anga" in later history books

On the banks of the Chavell River——

Ilsa was wearing a luxurious formal dress and looked solemn. The important central officials such as Enli and Bankro standing behind her, as well as Ilsa's father, the regent Gale, who had just returned to Pendragon, were also solemn like Ilsa, quietly looking at Su Cheng and others standing in front of them in helmets and armor.

Ilsa put her left hand behind her, clenched her right hand into a fist, and pressed the fist heavily against her left chest——This time, Ilsa did not say too many sensational or exciting words to Su Cheng, but just gave Su Cheng and others a standard military salute.

Although she did not say much, Ilsa's salute had already incorporated everything she wanted to say.

The moment Ilsa's right fist touched her left chest, Enli, Bankro, Gale and others standing behind her followed closely and solemnly saluted the generals standing in front of them who were about to go to the East.

Snap, snap, snap, snap...

The sound of the fist hitting the chest sounded like rain.

And Su Cheng and others hurriedly returned the salute.

Su Cheng, as well as Mud, Blaise, Willy, Alyssa, Raymond and others who stood behind him in order of status in the army, raised their right fists and hit their left chests heavily with the fist.

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

Because Su Cheng and others were wearing armor, the sound of their fists hitting their chests was not a dull sound of flesh, but a crisp sound of iron colliding.

…

…

"Michael Knights! Drive all the Frankish Empire's bandits back to the east bank of the Rhine without a single one left!"

"Come on! Don't lose to the Franks!"

"Drive the Franks back!"

"Win! Must win!"

"Captain Cheng! Come on! Come on!"

…

Even though he had already boarded the deck of the fleet's flagship, the Hyperion,

Su Cheng could still hear the shouts of the people on the shore clearly.

The joint forces of the Michael Knights and the Navy will march east to the Rhineland on this day-this is no secret, and everyone in Pendragon knows it.

Because the date of the expedition was not concealed, many citizens of Pendragon rushed to the shore of the Chavel River before dawn, intending to see off the Michael Knights and the Navy.

Because Su Cheng had now boarded the deck of the fleet's largest ship, the flagship Hyperion, his vision was very wide, and he could clearly see that there were about 3,000 people gathered on the shore at the moment.

Considering that it would take a long time to walk the entire distance between Pendragon and the Chavel River, it was amazing that more than 3,000 civilians came to see them off.

"I didn't expect it..." Su Cheng, standing on the deck, looked at the people on the shore and whispered softly, "So many people are willing to see us off..."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, someone standing behind him suddenly puffed up his cheeks and said in a slightly unhappy tone:

"Some people are not here to see us off, but to see you off."

The person who spoke was Elisa.

Although Elisa also participated in the defense of Pendragon, her injuries were not serious, and she was more than enough to participate in another war.

Therefore, under Elisa's repeated insistence, she also became one of the generals participating in the Eastern Expedition.

Elisa continued with an unhappy tone.

"I heard it very clearly. There were many people shouting, 'Come on, Captain Cheng,' 'Captain Cheng, drive the Franks back,' and so on. And the voices of these words were basically those of young girls."

"It's an honor to be liked by so many people." Su Cheng raised his hand and touched Alyssa's head behind him, "It's a pity that they can't stand beside me and live in my heart like you do."

"Hmph..." Alyssa pouted and slapped away the hand that was touching her hair with a look of being tired of Su Cheng's sweet words.

However, her slightly red cheeks and the faint smile on her face still exposed her mood at the moment.

Su Cheng didn't tease Alyssa anymore, nor did he look at the people on the shore. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the place in front of him where the water and sky met, reflecting silver waves under the light of dawn.

"The Knights of Michael heading south have only 110,000 soldiers, the total strength of the navy is 20,000, and the total strength is 130,000."

Su Cheng murmured.

"With 130,000 men, we are facing the Frankish Empire's hundreds of thousands of naval and land forces... Haha, it seems that unless a miracle happens, there is no chance of winning..."

After saying these words that sounded like he was giving up on himself, Su Cheng suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, Su Cheng finally spoke again.

This time, Su Cheng was no longer talking to himself, but asked Alyssa who was standing behind him:

"Alyssa, do you believe in miracles?"

"No." As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Alyssa immediately said, "I don't believe in miracles. Su Cheng, I only believe in you."

At this point, Alyssa paused.

Then she added:

"It's not just me. Alan, Willy, Deng Jiaer, Mu De... I don't know if they believe in miracles. But I'm sure - they all believe in you just like me."

Su Cheng looked at the place where the water and the sky met, his eyes shining with dazzling light.
