The Sended's
Chapter 7: They say its Reckless, I saw its a Thermopylae on the Seas



There is news coming from the East, Germanica forces were besieged by the Nonna federation forces in the city of Stratov. The city once belonged to the Nonna federation that was taken over by Germanica last year


Now they've prepared everything to avenge the Germanica attack a year ago


General Alexei Burchilov was entrusted by the Nonna federation to launch an attack on the West using enormous resources, this attack was everything to the federation


If it fails, the morale of the troops will decline drastically, their economy will also be destroyed. If successful, however, this eternal war would be resolved and the Nonna federation could have its own Germanica territory without sharing it with the Alles alliance


The Nonna federation did not belong to an alliance formed by Francia and Britain called Alles, but rather stood alone against Germanica of the East


Meanwhile I have finished with the crew business at this school, even though my departure schedule is tomorrow but has the ship arrived?


"We need a destroyer who can destroy two Battleships" this sentence was constantly remembered by me


"Captain, we've arrived,"


"Y-yeah...."


I immediately went down and inhaled the sea air that was actually polluted with bad smoke, then I coughed at it....


But I finally saw it, my new ship. The newest type of destroyer is in front of my eyes, with the old crew already welcoming in line


I've only seen such weaponry designs, to be honest, just by looking at it I've been goosebumps to grin myself


"Alright, let's take this monster to the ocean!!"


But before that...


The welcoming party, huh...?


Well, let. After all, this habit is not bad either, they are getting closer to the seniors and I hope that the gap between them disappears


Since the next mission is quite dangerous in my opinion, this time we really have to need everything profitable


"Captain Archen, your ship is the latest type that we don't want to lose in one battle,"


I was stationed on Jane Island which was actually two islands separated by a puddle of sea water that flowed like a river


The admiral said that while in the middle of the island, this island will protect our ship from enemy sight, but I still realize how vulnerable this position is


I did become invisible to the enemy, but I also could not see where the enemy was


For example, if the enemy comes from the front, then we must retreat and flee back to the Germanica range at the back, as well as if the enemy appears from behind


But if the enemy comes from both sides after knowing my location? it was a game over or a dead end for us


This is a difficult mission, perhaps our goal is indeed to test the capabilities of this Destroyer. If taken the main intent of the admiral then it might sound like this,


"Whatever your way, try to destroy as many Brits as you can with that ship,"


Because we are not allowed to leave this position on the grounds of enemy vision


There was an incident in Greece around 480 BC, where king Leonidas of Sparta led 300 troops to stop 1,000,000 Persian troops, this number does sound like an exaggeration.... let's just agree with historians, the largest possible number is 300,000


They stopped the Persians on a narrow cliff which was the only way to Greece, telling them that there was no traitor among the Spartans and that the Persians would suffer defeat at that time


But the situation is very different from now even with similar circumstances, my battleship is between two narrow islands where the enemy can come at any time


King Leonidas used that narrow space to wipe out the enemy's advantage, but it was meaningless in my situation


If only a Battleship appeared later, this ship would be impossible to survive. Especially with this narrow space, the rear cannon can also not be used as well as torpedoes which are the main weapon of the Destroyer


"Anu? The captain?"


"Y-yes? What's up, lieutenant Victoria?"


"Have the captain ever tasted defeat before? Sorry for asking this"


"It's okay.."


Come to think of it, I lost a Grand Strategy game once. Against my first friend in that game when I was good at playing it


But in the end I continued to train until our skills were balanced, even when I was pitted back with so many victims on my side, almost 99% of my troops died


That win was the best moment, even when I won against the Old World champion I wasn't as happy as that. But the previous defeat also pushed me to train further and surpass this friend of mine


"Yes I've felt it"


"Does that feel painful?"


I was silent for a moment while thinking about what my friend was now


"Pain is certainly there, but after thinking again it turns out we really need that feeling. Or we'll be like your previous arrogant noble friends,"


Wait a minute, why did I suddenly become so good at talking like this? Oh shit, but my life used to make me happy. Why did I accept God's offer back then?


"Captain, is that?", asked Victoria


I wiped my mind and looked ahead


"Fucking brits,"


Two Destroyer ships began to be seen from behind the island, they were turning towards this gap


"Focus the attack on just one," wait a minute, however still we can only use one cannon So there's no such thing as focusing the attack


Cih, is there nothing I can do? I remembered something, a time when I felt like cheating on this life. Let's see if it'll work again


I immediately ran towards the weapon control room not far from the command tower, while looking at the direction of the enemy I aimed the cannon with the controls at hand


It worked back


I can see where this bullet is going and I can see it up close like I'm using binoculars


Although I can determine the direction of my shot, I cannot determine the part that will be hit by the bullet. Although the direction is the command tower, but the enemy ship also continues to move so that it is exposed to other parts


For that calculation must be done, the extent of the enemy's position, how fast they move, the waves of the sea that make their ship lift. All of these are important calculations


Then when the time was right, I shot the front cannon. The moment when the ocean waves aligned with my ship


My target is the closest cannon to the command tower, if this cannon explodes then the command tower will also collapse. One bullet for one ship.


"Foot!!"


The sound of cannons rang out throughout the originally silent sea, with this the naval battle of Britain began again. The two fleets started to approach me quickly, it only took them a while until they met


Besides, one of the destroyers was already destroyed here, even his body covered the path of the other destroyers to aim at me. The ocean currents also made his body hit the other destroyer and caused damage


"Welcome to Brits, I will use the gap that should be breaking me into your trap" I said with a smile


"Shoot," one of my officers ordered


Even with one plunder we destroyed the second destroyer, it was because they could not counterattack because they were covered by the first destroyer body


If they shoot, their bullets will hit the first destroyer body and explode in front of them. Therefore they tried to find a gap to shoot which we kept covering the gap by shooting them


It's a plan that hasn't been thought of, but it's been....


Now that we have to return to the high seas, I can reason that this position is no longer safe as the admiral said


After seeing the admiral, I returned to my ship and found the crew discussing the battle the other day. They were very happy with their victory and said as if they had won this war


I can only smile at their behavior, but nothing as long as they keep working well then anything they can do as long as they do not break the law


More importantly, shouldn't it be time for me to get a medal? Destroying two Battleships and two Destroyers is not easy, right? Are there a lot of people who can do that?


Damn that man, he sent me to a remote place so that the other captain would not see my achievements. Maybe next I can prove it directly to the entire fleet


"Captain, aren't you tired? Wasn't the battle exhausting?", it seemed Victoria was very attentive to me, just as a superior...


"No-no, I'm fine.. hmm.. You see, if you really want to ease my burden, you can make a report about the battle and send it to the command center"


"Eh? Me? But I'm not highly ranked, captain"


"Oh so, huh? Then, from now on you are an officer, I wait for the report..."


I left him in a confused state, it seems that my strength is still the same as before. Even so I ran down the aisle as fast as I could, of course I was exhausted


The captain's cabin on this ship is quite large, this room can hold a bed and a closet for my things. I laid myself on the bed with the hat I was wearing and the captain's clothes


Slowly my head dizzy and forced me to sleep for a while, after all all the things I have cleared up today are I not allowed to rest for a moment?


I woke up in a very chaotic atmosphere, many corpses were lying around. When I realized I was on the water and kept getting shot at by enemy cannons, strangely no sound was heard at all, maybe my ears could no longer be used


"Heh, this is finally yes.." The speech spontaneously came out of my mouth.


After saying that I woke up with disordered breathing, even my entire body was covered in sweat. My captain's clothes were also wet from sweat


I sat on the bed and held my head still slightly dizzy while thinking about the dream


"It was just a dream, but wait...."


The last time I dreamed of a fantasy world, I ended up being sent to this ''fantasy'' world. Will my dream come true again?!
