"- Shadow of an enemy ship in the direction of 1 o'clock ahead. Number two, approaching."

"... No, that's not a 'ship'. Ship."

Grand Duchy Navy Admiral Froti threw up like that when he saw a ship that looked miserable.

Because he's right, the enemy is a freighter, not a warship.

"There's no way a ship like that can fight properly. Continue on course, all ships prepare to attack!

"Copy that. All units, battle position, battle deck ready. Hurry!

A specialized battleship, albeit small. A patrol ship with 28 artillery gates on both sides retraces the river for even Torn Town. Stuck there is a crude ship.

But there is a problem with the cruiser.

Battleships of this era are terribly aggressive against both left and right sides, but terribly defenseless and defenseless against front and rear.

In this situation where each other is approaching each other by showing each other their nose tips, we cannot make effective use of the cruiser's artillery gates.

"Captain, can we turn the ship back 90 degrees when we get close to the warring range?

"... you can't, I can only answer that. Anyway, we're against the currents."

To the admiral's words, the captain answered honestly.

Says it depends on the wind and luck whether the speed of the Vistula river flow is not enough to stop the ship from moving forward, turn around and fight, turn around and welcome him back to Torn again.

If we can't look back, the Grand Duke will give us the most disgraceful rating of being flushed into the worst river and "an admiral who just used the river stream to return to his home port without making enemies present and having any effect".

But moving forward without looking back here is also dangerous.

Because the river width is to the extent of "wide for a river," it is natural but narrow compared to a wide sea. Under the circumstances, evasive action is inconsistent, and close combat can do a lot of damage to allies. Even though it exceeds both quality and quantity, there is no need for this.

There was a corresponding risk to both, and Admiral Froti was therefore troubled.

But either way, the Grand Duchy Navy's numerical and qualitative advantage is unwavering and there are no losing elements. The question was how to win.

"Communicate to all ships. Keep going straight, set up an anti-navigation battle against the enemy fleet and head straight into Torn City!

Froti didn't choose an ambush.

Because Froti's mission is to break into Tron Street to cover the Grand Duchy Army. It's not about beating a miserable enemy ship.

"Which way do you want to start the attack?

"... right. From the shape of the river, the flow would be more relaxed on the north shore side at the expected point of contact with the enemy. Let's move on there."

"Ha. Stay on course, ready for right anti-navigation. Open the starboard gun door!

20 minutes from that order.

The five Grand Duchy Navy battleships were finally about to reach the outer edge of Torn City with a beautiful single longitudinal formation.

The Princess Navy, which leaves it to the river stream to go straight ahead, is in the 12 o'clock direction of the Grand Duchy Navy Battleship. Already at the end of his eyes and nose, he is close enough to recognize the enemy's face as well. It is the fastest beating moment for anyone who is a man of the sea.

But something was wrong.

"... 12 o'clock?

12 o'clock direction, directly in front.

It's odd that we're directly in front of them, even though we're trying to fight them in a different way than they are in the Princess Navy. Before the diagonal, if you're not in the 1: 30 direction at most, it sucks...

"Shit, that idiot's coming!

So Froti realized the sincerity of the enemy, the princess.

"My lord, what is it?"

"I am willing to go into our fleet. In a literal sense!

While the Grand Duchy was in the favor of both the quality and quantity of the fleet, Froti had not imagined that the princess could not have requisitioned a freighter to play a serious fleet battle.

"Captain, evade!

"Yes! Evasive action, rudder 40!

The cruiser "Marlbork" takes a rudder to the right to a large extent by the hand of the captain of the voyage who received the captain's life. The hull tilts to the left under the stream of the Vistula River, breaking the balance. An unfixed object in the ship slips off by inclination.

But the crisis does not leave. Not to mention that I was waiting for that action, but a freighter at the head of the Princess Navy cut the rudder to the left.

The rudder of a freighter on a river stream should be less handy than that of a Grand Duchy Navy cruiser. Compared to patrol ships, however, smaller freighters have a better turnaround.

To this end, the anticipated route of the freighter and the anticipated route of the cruiser will overlap.

"They're insane! Change orders, port magic cannon ready! We're gonna intercept that ship coming in!

"Ha! As soon as all ships are ready and ready for the Port Magic Artillery Battle, fire on each!

The captain ordered aggressive shooting, not simultaneous shooting, out of haste.

There is no choice in this situation, but it is also a sparse shooting that is out of control, and many hit bullets cannot be expected.

"Avoid. Avoid. Avoid!

As the distance decreases, the number of hits increases.

But the ship never stops. No guns, no decorations, no armor. Just a freighter just barged in.

"Prepare for the White Soldier War!

The captain screams, and the Marines return to me to prepare for the White Soldier War.

If the flagship forcibly docks here and even occupies the lashes, the fleet could lose control.

When approaching the distance of a few decades to the collision, the cruiser "Marlbork" 's navigator turned the steering wheel to the left in a glass.

"- You have to make it!

The chief sailor screams. The ship's rudder is very slow to respond.

And whether his prayers had passed, Marlbork, by the aggressive judgment of the chief sailor, began to turn off the steering wheel, and the cruiser, who was supposed to have been on the collision course, only had to rub the stern.

"... Phew"

"Thank you..."

At that moment, everyone on Marlbork must have relieved themselves along with a cold sweat. The sailor's face on the enemy ship was close enough to recognize the color of his eyes, so it is a natural reaction.

What kind of man would take such brave action? As a man of the sea, I really want to know the face of those who did that while they were enemies. Major General Froti, who stepped out of the fringe of the ship and saw the freighter...

"Nah -!?"

Stunned.

Naturally, no one is on board.

No, to be precise, I have the minimum number of people I need. There were just sailing personnel to adjust the sails and manipulate the rudder wheels, and there were no other combat personnel or marines to fight the White Soldiers.

That wasn't the only meaning of Froti's astonishment.

I just noticed the presence of another freighter behind the freighter.

He was distracted by a leading ship approaching abnormally and was unable to detect the presence of a successor ship.

"Shit-"

By the time he sensed what it meant, it was all too late.

"- All hands, prepare for impact!

On the port side of the cruiser Marlbork, the princess naval extraordinary battleship Tiana was forcibly grounded.

Marlbork's port side is heavily shredded and many passengers are injured when fragments jump onto the ship from the gungate. Along with that, with the voice of a powerful woman, princess combatants came aboard like avalanches.

"It's the White Soldier War! I'm taking over this ship!

This will be the second time this year that Sarah Marinovska, a woman with crimson hair, forcibly docks on an enemy ship for a white soldier battle. But the difference from the first time...

"Don't worry about the mutton fish! Commander and Captain, if we can capture all the officers, that's fine!

It means that a mad warrior named Maya Krakowska is standing next to him.

---

"Deputy Commander, Marlbork has been grounded! The White Soldier War is on!

"Do you want to head to the rescue!?

I watched everything from Grand Duchy Navy Fleet No. 2 onwards until the flagship was forcibly grounded. I watched everything, but I couldn't do anything.

Even as it was stopped, the river width was too narrow, because the water flow was too fast, so that the return for interception could not be made in time. And I can't tell you that there's a freighter marching towards Malvolk.

At the time the flagship Malvolk was grounded, command of the fleet was entrusted to Brigadier General Macea, Deputy Commander, who was aboard the small cruiser Gdynia.

"- Hit the enemy freighter that failed to catch the port first. I don't know what to do."

"Roger, Starboard Magic Artillery Battle is underway. Target, enemy one!

Below Gdynia, the four fleets launched simultaneous attacks. There can be no such thing as a freighter that can take it, and Natalia, a temporary battleship named after the daughter of a certain supply officer, is instantly engulfed in fire and rendered incapable of combat.

"The problem is' Malvolk '... our aim is to attack Torn"

"So, are you going to abandon it!?

"No, that would be a problem too.... pass it on to vessel 3, 'Valsar'." Walther "turns to cover" Malbork ". The other ships are going straight ahead and attacking Torn."

"Copy that!"

By order of the Deputy Commander, the fleet is bisected.

The flagship "Malbork" and the small cruiser "Walther" attempt a torn entry by going straight down the river.

Brigadier General Macea laughs at this battle where he sees a win, saying it doesn't make sense that the chain of command is just inherited where he lost his flagship.

But before him awaited a double triple trap prepared by a certain belly-black officer.

- Instead of saying, a double triple trap came in.

"What the hell, that one!

What was ahead of Brigadier General Macea's gaze. It's like a self-propelled lodging ship moored on the Vistula River and used as a quarters is slowly and reliably approaching here using the river flow.

Moreover, more than five ships form side-by-side lines, somehow bursting into their own ships aiming at them while burning bright red. Nothing but fear.

The unmanned accommodation ship, fixed and connected by a rugged rope, becomes a Lotus of Trustees and specializes while burning its own hull and many loaded flammables.

Before that, Brigadier General Masea was wolfed.

"Or head back! Magic Artillery Battle Prepared, Bullet Species' Sea God Piercing Bullet (Eggir) '!

He managed to make his way by sinking a ship of fire that stormed.

But it was not so if we could respond calmly in the midst of the flaming masses storming, and Brigadier General Macea's confusion contaminated the fleet under him, whose formation was greatly disturbed.

The retrospective retrospective retrospective of the ship also causes Captain Malvolk to do as he expected. That it can't go against the river flow and will be flushed as it is.

It doesn't make sense if a ship of fire collides there, even if it manages to stay down with an anchor.

Although Brigadier General Macea's small cruiser, Gdynia, managed to sink an approaching accommodation ship and escape the difficulties, it is not all lucky.

One of the three ships that tried to break into Torn could not avoid clashing with the accommodation ship, and the impact at that time caused it to flow downstream.

In such confusion, it is impossible to make the earliest torn entry. It seemed best to re-establish our attitude and try to get another chance to storm.

"... if we retreat here, we can minimize our losses. The enemy should have no leeway either.... once we get back to Stalitlung's line!

Brigadier General Macea begins his retreat to prevent the spread of damage on his allies.

While covering one of the damaged ships, he overtook it while eliminating the boarding vessel and attempted to rendezvous with the forcibly grounded flagship "Malbork" and the "Valsar" who headed for its cover.

"- Confirm 'Malbork' forward. The port side is badly damaged."

"... I was grounded. I have no choice. But once you get back, you'll be able to deploy again. No problem."

That was supposed to happen.

…… Hey, isn't that weird?

"What?

Someone noticed something strange.

Whatever the flagship "Malbork" was, because he could not see the figure of the other ally, the ship shadow of "Valsar".

The answer is simple and clear.

"Marlbork is attacking!

"What!? What do you mean, we're on our side! Send the signal!

"Roger! - No, there's a magically activated light from the second simultaneous projectile!

"No way -"

That was no way.

The flagship Malvolk is no longer an ally.

"This ship has been named 'Tiana Natalia' since today! I will avenge the freighter!

"Uh, Sarah. Whatever your name is, don't be too unscrupulous, because it's damaged one-on-three."

"Should we rob that ship then?

"What's Maya saying too..."

19 Mar, 18: 40.

The Grand Duchy Navy has completely lost its will to war in front of its former flagship, Malbork. It was a great damage to lose the small cruiser "Valsar" as well, but the three remaining ships succeeded in escaping under Brigadier General Macea's command, although damaged.

The Princess Navy, on the other hand, captured the Grand Duchy Navy's patrol vessel Malbork, although it lost "Tiana" and "Natalia" of the temporary battleship (freighter), as well as six accommodation vessels. Marlbork inherited the name of the sunken temporary battleship and was named "Tiana Natalia", making it a new force for the Princess Army, the sailors who pledged allegiance to the princess, to stop at Torn.
