The Battle of Lake Anga - the largest water war in the world in the medieval period. The national destiny of the Britannian Empire and the Frank Empire were all related to this battle.

On the banks of the Chaveer River—
Ilsa was wearing luxurious formal clothes and looked solemn. Enli, Bancro, and other central officials standing behind her, as well as Ilsa's father, Regent Gail, who had just returned to Pandragon, all looked as solemnly as Ilsa, looking quietly at Su Cheng and others standing in front of them, wearing armor.
Ilsa put her left hand behind her, clenched her right hand into a fist, and pressed her fist eyes heavily on her left chest. This time, Ilsa did not say too much sensational or exciting words to Su Cheng, but just gave a very standard military salute to Su Cheng and others.
Although I didn't say much, Ilsa's salute had already incorporated everything she wanted to say.
The moment Ilsa's right fist touched her left chest, Enli, Bancro, Gale and others who were standing behind him also followed closely and solemnly saluted their Britannian Empire to the generals standing in front of them and about to rush to the east.
Pa, pa, pa, pa...
The sound of the fist eyes hitting the chest sounded like rain.
Su Cheng and others hurriedly returned the gift.
Su Cheng, and Mude, Blaise, Willy, Alisa, Raymond and others who stood behind him in the order of military status, raised their right fists and hit their left chest with their fists.
Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang...
Because Su Cheng and the others were all wearing armor, the sound of the fists hitting their chests was not the dull sound of flesh, but the crisp sound of iron collision.
...
...
"Knights of Michael! Drive all the thieves from the Frank Empire back to the east bank of the Rhine!"
"Come on! Don't lose to the Franks!"
"Turn the Franks back!"
"To win! Must win!"
"Captain Cheng! Come on! Come on!"
...
Even though he had already boarded the deck of the fleet's flagship, the Shiperian, and Su Cheng could still hear the shouts of the people on the shore.
The joint forces of the Knights of Michael and the Navy will conquer the Rhineland on this day - this is no secret, and it is known to everyone in Pandragon.
Because the date of sending troops was not concealed, many Pandragon citizens rushed to the shore of the Chaveer River before dawn, intending to see off the Knights of Michael and the Navy.
Because Su Cheng has now boarded the deck of the flagship Shiperian, the largest ship in the fleet, so his vision is very wide and you can clearly see it. At this moment, there are about 3,000 people gathered on the shore.
Considering the complete journey between Pandragon and the Chaveer River, it still takes a lot of time to get more than 3,000 civilians to see them off - this is already something that is amazing.
"I really didn't expect it..." Su Cheng, who was standing on the deck, looked at the people on the shore, and murmured softly, "There are so many people who are willing to see us off..."
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, someone standing behind him suddenly bulged his cheeks and said in a slightly unhappy tone:
"Some people are not here to see us off at all, but to see you off at all."
The person who speaks is Alisa.
Although Alisa also participated in the Battle of Pandragorn, her injuries were not serious, and she was more than enough to participate in another battle.
Therefore, with Alisha's repeated insistence, she also became one of the generals who participated in the Eastern Expedition.
Alisa continued in an unpleasant tone.
"I heard it very clearly. There were many people shouting "Come on, Captain Cheng," "Chief Cheng, drive the Franks back," and so on. And the tones of these words are basically the tones of young girls."
"What an honor, I can be loved 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 by me and live in my heart like you."
"Hmph..." Alisa curled her lips and patted the hand that Su Cheng was touching her hair with a sweet voice.
However, her slightly red cheeks and the faint smile on her face still revealed her mood at the moment.
Su Cheng did not tease Alisa anymore, nor did he look at the people on the shore. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the place where the water and sky were connected in front of him, which reflected silver waves under the light of dawn.
"The Knights of Michael who went south had only 110,000 soldiers, and the total strength of the navy was 20,000, and the total strength of the total strength was 130,000."
Su Cheng murmured.
"Terminating the hundreds of thousands of land and armies of the Frank Empire with 130,000 people... Haha, I feel that unless a miracle happens, there is no possibility of winning..."
After saying these words that seemed to be giving up, Su Cheng suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, Su Cheng finally spoke up again.
This time, Su Cheng no longer talked to himself, but asked Alyssa who was standing behind him:
"Alisa, do you believe in miracles?"
"No." As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Alisa immediately said, "I don't believe in any miracles. Su Cheng, I only believe in you."
Speaking of this, Alisa paused.
Then immediately added:
"It's not just me. Alan, Willy, Dungar, Mude... They don't believe in miracles, I don't know. But I'm sure--they all believe in you like me."
Su Cheng, who was looking at the distance at the intersection of water and sky, had dazzling brilliance in his eyes at this time.
"Since I believe me, follow me."
After saying that, Su Cheng shouted to the generals waiting not far behind him, waiting for him to order:
"Rise up! Go to Rhineland!"
...
...
Hulalalalalalalala...
Huge anchors were pulled up from the river.
Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh hu
Sails broke free from the constraints and unfolded in the wind.
The fleet with the flagship Shiperian as the core, under the gaze of everyone on the shore headed by Ilsa, ships slowly sailed off the river bank and then integrated into a narrow and long marching formation.
This narrow and long marching formation, like a black "big snake", lying on the surface of the Chavel River.
Its snake head aims at the east.
Its final destination is the Rhineland Plain.
Its opponent is a larger and more vicious giant python.
Even though the giant python was far above them, the black snake was still driven eastward firmly and vigorously under Su Cheng's command along the Chavel River channel.
Everything is just for going to the Rhineland Plain.
Everything is just to defeat the Frank army...
