Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 236

“General Stewart, it is a great honor to work with you. I am Perrin Sandy, who just graduated from the National Military Academy. I have been transferred from the Admiralty to temporarily serve as your adjutant.”

On the main road leaving Ankerton City, Perrin Sandy in casual clothes took the initiative to introduce himself to Vitaligue who was sitting in the carriage.

“Colonel Sandy, I have received an order from the Admiralty. Before leaving for the province of Provence, I must remind you that after heading to the south, we will face severe waves and a ferocious enemy fleet. , all this is something you have to overcome, are you ready?” Vitaligue said in a serious tone.

The one-eyed captain, who was retired due to injury, did not wear the same uniform as Perrin, but his old captain’s uniform with several medals on his chest, and his right eye that had to be gouged out by a stray bullet. Covered by the black leather blindfold, it gave a sense of incompleteness. Coupled with the serious expression on his face, the first impression he gave Perrin was that of an old man who was not easy to get along with.

As early as when he was studying in the academy, Perrin had already understood the cruelty of naval battles. Marine battles are no better than land battles. There are many uncertainties in the vast sea, and the fickle weather may bring a lot of trouble to the warring parties at any time. , which means that commanders on both sides must learn more about the waters before fighting breaks out.

Not only that, although the sea is endless, the sailors can only squeeze into the limited space of the warship they are in. Once they are defeated in the battle, the loser will have no way to escape, or be salvaged by the victor and become a prisoner. Or be swallowed by the sharks who heard the news as a delicacy.

“Yes, General Stewart, I’m ready.” Perrin only hesitated for a few seconds, then agreed.

Vitalig didn’t speak. He took a deep look at Perrin, and then motioned him to get in the carriage. The latter did not hesitate at all. He stood on the outer edge of the carriage, got into the carriage, and sat in Vitalig. opposite.

When he sat down, he found that there was a large rucksack that looked bulging next to Vitalig. The objects in the rucksack seemed to be somewhat square, like books.

Perhaps he sensed Pera’s sight, and Vitalig didn’t avoid it. He opened the rucksack in front of Perrin, and generously took out the thick stack of books inside. When he came out, Perrin saw the name of the book on the top at first glance – it was a pair of large gilded letters, which seemed to read “Marnes Navigation History”.

Then, Vitaligue handed these books to Perrin and said, “You take these books and read them on the road. I hope you can read these books before arriving in the province of Provence, especially the bottom one.”

Saying that, after Perrin took the book, he pulled out the bottom book with all his might. After the book was pulled out, the stack of books in Perrin’s hand almost fell off, and then he saw Vitaligue taking the book out. The book with the black back casing was displayed in front of him.

“Haven records?”

Perrin read the letters above and asked.

“Yes, here is the record of the sea weather in the waters around the Marnes Continent, which will be of great help to your next naval journey.” Vitalig said, opening the book to reveal the inside folder The map on the page said: “This is the Haiwen map of the Proden Sea. I ask you to memorize it and keep it in your mind. Do you understand?”

The words fell, and before Perrin replied, he continued: “If you can’t do it, then I can only regretfully apply to the Admiralty to transfer you and let you go back to Ankerton to serve as your official honestly. “

Hearing this, Perrin’s expression became more serious, and he said, “General, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task you have deployed, and will not give you the opportunity to transfer me away.”

“Hehe, I hope so.” Vitalig was noncommittal, then closed the book in his hand and threw it back on top of the stack of books in Perrin’s hand, then retracted his hands, wrapped his arms around his chest, and leaned against the soft cushions Come on, close your eyes and meditate.

Pei Lan’s attention was all on the books he was holding. He knew that the one-eyed man in front of him was indeed capable of getting him back. He was the commander of the naval fleet appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. It is suitable for serving as an adjutant, and it only takes one sentence to make him clean up and get out.

At that time, even if he has Leonard Sandy, a cousin who is a close friend of the emperor, there is no way to change all this.

What Perrin didn’t know was that although Vitalig seemed to close his eyes, in fact, his only eye was not completely closed, but a slit was exposed, observing Perrin calmly.

Looking at Perrin’s serious appearance, Vitalig’s eyes unconsciously flashed memories of the past. At that time, he was still a high-spirited teenager, and his right eye under the black blindfold was still intact. Cooperate with the left eye to observe the flower world outside.

At that time, his mind was full of brainwashing by the glorious deeds of his ancestors, and he dreamed that one day he would be able to board a warship like his ancestors and become a majestic fleet commander. They went into and out of the book showrooms of the various libraries and military academies in Ankerton together, thirsty and greedy to absorb the knowledge about navigation and fleet command in the books.

That period of time can be said to be the brightest moment in his life. After many years, relying on family connections, he and his brother joined the navy one after another and were gradually promoted to the captain of a warship~www.mtlnovel.com~ became the captain He can be said to be a proud horseshoe, and he is also the most important step on the road to becoming a fleet commander.

But it didn’t take long for a nightmare to come to him.

In a fierce battle, the warships he commanded engaged with enemy ships at close range, and sailors from both sides were even able to use muskets to shoot each other on deck. In the battle where muskets and artillery were thrown together, he was hit by a stray bullet in the right eye. , almost fainted, but still relied on tenacious willpower to support the friendly ship reinforcements.

After he was sent to a land hospital for treatment and rescue, although his life was saved by luck, his right eye was completely festered and had to be dug out, leaving only a dark eye socket – which also prevented him from returning The battleship eventually retired due to injury, and sadly returned to his hometown with his dream that could never be realized.

However, his older brother Gekay finally succeeded in climbing up the position of fleet commander and fulfilling the common wish of the two brothers, which made Vitalig both gratified and a little sad. He was thinking, if it wasn’t for the damned In the case of stray bullets, the person who will become the fleet commander will probably be himself.

Moreover, he died under the surprise attack of the Enkelans that day, and he would also be buried in the belly of the fish with the fleet.
