“…This is the whole story of how I encountered Doppler and fought him.”
The story of Samuel and Doppler fighting each other 13 years ago is quite long.
It took Samuel half an hour to finish the story.
However, although it took a long time, Su Cheng listened quietly.
He did not interrupt Samuel and listened quietly to Samuel's story.
Only after Samuel finished speaking did Su Cheng sigh:
“I didn’t expect it… Samuel, you actually fought against that war ghost…”
“For me, this is a past that I can’t bear to look back on…”
Samuel murmured softly with a slightly disappointed look on his face.
"13 years ago, Doppler had not yet been called the Ghost of War, and was just an unknown general."
"However, he was already so strong even though he was just an unknown general..."
"That was the worst defeat I've ever suffered since I was born..."
"I had no power to fight back..."
"My attacks couldn't hit that Doppler at all."
"But that Doppler could easily get close to me and knock me down."
"In that duel 13 years ago, Doppler could have killed me instantly without any power to fight back."
"But he spared my life."
"Thinking back now, that Doppler was really a weird person."
"In order to see a rare fighting technique, he casually challenged me."
"After defeating the enemy general, he didn't kill him, but just walked away..."
"Capable people like him often have weird personalities." Su Cheng smiled bitterly, "This is normal."
"Ah..."
After sighing lightly, Samuel took a deep breath.
Then he said to Su Cheng again in a serious tone:
"Captain, I have told you so much for only one purpose."
"Pass the order down: When you see someone holding a huge flail, you must not underestimate the enemy, let alone fight him alone."
"If Doppler is in the enemy camp opposite, then zombies are undoubtedly a great threat to us."
"So we must not be careless. No matter how cautious we are, it is not too much."
"...I understand."
Since listening to Samuel's explanation of his past, Su Cheng, who has been looking solemn, finally nodded gently...
...
...
At the same time-
Royal Fleet, flagship Helles, somewhere in the cabin-
A general shouted in a sincere tone to Otto, who was sitting at the head of the long table with a sullen face:
"Commander! Please let me go! I will definitely take back Admiral Judit's head!"
Admiral Judit-that is, Geunser.
Geunser's full name is Geunser von Judit.
As soon as the general finished speaking, the other generals sitting at the long table shouted:
"Commander! Let me go!"
"No! Please let me go!"
"Commander! I..."
...
The generals shouted.
Almost everyone asked to go out and take back Ge Yunser's head.
Otto seemed to be annoyed by the chattering subordinates. He clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table.
"Be quiet!"
Otto's roar directly overwhelmed the voices of all the generals present.
For a moment, everyone present was silent.
The generals looked at Otto with all kinds of emotions.
"Ge Yunser is my right-hand man!"
Otto, with many veins on his forehead, growled with gritted teeth.
"He was killed by the Britannians and his head was taken away. Do you think I don't want to avenge him and take back his head?!"
When the vanguard troops who went out to fight today came back, Otto learned the bad news that his adjutant, his right-hand man, was killed and his head was cut off by the enemy.
At first, Otto didn't believe it.
It should be said that he was still unwilling to believe it.
He didn't want to believe that his right-hand man died like this.
Until the scouts brought back a new message, Otto finally faced the reality that his adjutant was dead.
The message was that a human head was hanging on the bow of the warship at the front of the combined fleet.
According to the scouts' description of the appearance of the human head, the owner of the head was undoubtedly Ge Yunser.
The head of a senior general of the army was taken away by the enemy and hung in such a conspicuous place-this kind of thing is extremely shameful for the army of any country.
That is why Otto's subordinates were so excited and asked for battle, vowing to take back Ge Yunser's head.
However, Otto ignored his subordinates' request for battle.
After shouting in an angry tone, "Do you think I don't want to take back his head?!", Otto took a few deep breaths, adjusted his breathing, and then roared:
"Didn't you watch the battle today carefully?"
"The combat power of the combined fleet of the Britannia Empire far exceeded our expectations!"
"They cleverly used the greatest advantage of their warships - flexibility!"
"One of the reasons why the battle today was lost is that the combined fleet used the flexibility of their warships."
"On the other hand, and also the main reason, it is because the idiot Ge Yunser underestimated the enemy!"
"If he had been a little more cautious and clear-headed, he would not have rushed into the ambush circle of the combined fleet so confusedly, and he would not have died so confusedly!"
"The Britannia Empire Combined Fleet on the opposite side is much more difficult to deal with than we imagined!"
"So from now on, I hope everyone present! I also hope that I will put away the arrogance in my heart!"
"Don't underestimate the enemy in this battle!"
Speaking of this, Otto couldn't help but recall the face of his capable adjutant who would never return to his side, and the nagging voice that he would never have the chance to hear again.
His naturally hanging hands slowly clenched.
The force was so great that it seemed as if he was going to tear the skin off his palms.
"Today's battle has taught us a bloody lesson - what will happen if we underestimate our opponents in this battle!"
"The reason why Su Cheng hung Ge Yunser's head in such a conspicuous place may be to lure us to take back his head!"
"Set up an ambush. When our army approaches the warship with Ge Yunser's head hanging, we will tighten the ambush and catch all the troops coming to take back Ge Yunser's head in one fell swoop - this kind of thing is not impossible!"
"I have sworn to my soul - in this battle, I will use troops carefully and will never underestimate the enemy again!"
"So for the sake of caution, I will not agree to your request to go into battle now."
"When I confirm that the time is ripe and the best opportunity to take back Ge Yunser's head has come, I will order the head to be taken back."
"And now - you, including myself, please be patient!"
"As long as we put away our arrogance, the final victory of this war will definitely belong to us!"
