268 fleeing for their lives

A chaotic war presents a significant challenge for the decision-makers and commanders on both sides. It tests their abilities and challenges their understanding.

Bernard was utterly bewildered by everything unfolding before him; he truly didn't understand why the enemy would make such strange decisions.

He personally witnessed the enemy's sail warships splitting into two groups, moving in opposite directions.

Several warships turned their rudders to the left and broke away from their own fleet, fleeing without looking back. Meanwhile, most of the enemy ships were now turning their rudders to the right, seemingly intending to take a position across his path.

Following a brief moment of stupor, Bernard suddenly realized that he didn't know what to do about the current battle situation. He couldn't fathom what was going on in the mind of the enemy commander.
