Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan met the envoys sent by the enemy at the headquarters.
Surprisingly, the messenger was actually an elf—at least, it looked like an
elf from the outside, with tall features and pointed ears, but the hair color
was the rare black.
"Gui'an," the messenger stroked his chest and put his back on his back, bowing
in salute, "I am here to convey the words of the Governor of the Western Seas,
the Warrior of the Natatine Empire, the second Viscount of Fuliland, and Lord
Tural Nat. News. I wonder who on your side can be the master?"
"Cough cough." Xia Fan cleared his throat and said solemnly, "The lady in
front of you is the born of flames, the Suzaku smasher, the true dragon
bloodline, the head of the Shenzhou state, the third princess of the royal
family, Ning Wanjun Your Highness. She rules everything here."
Staff He, Grandpa Li and others were stunned to hear, even Ning Wanjun herself
was a little distracted, one hand subconsciously touched her cheek.
Fortunately, she interrupted this move halfway, "Jinxia City welcomes you. But
can you please explain why your ship not only does not call at the port, but
also opened the gun door on one side?"
"Sorry, Your Royal Highness. That's not the troops of the Kingdom of Natatium,
but the pirate ship." The messenger pretended to be a pirate ship. "This is
exactly what the Lord wants to convey-he hopes that you can cooperate with the
kingdom to capture and gather the elves, and Brought back by the fleet. These
strange monsters are the property of the kingdom, and it was only because of
some accidents that they were able to escape. I don't think Her Royal Highness
wants the monster race to run wild on your territory, right?"
"So that's it." Ning Wanjun nodded, "So those open gun doors are a threat?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me." The messenger looked embarrassed. "Because
it is property, there is also a share of pirates. They are extremely sensitive
and irritable to the loss of money. If it were not for Lord Tural to
intervene, these people would not be able to bear it. Now. But I promise that
as long as you catch the elves as soon as possible, they will never act
rashly."
Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan looked at each other, and then nodded, "I have heard
about the rudeness and arrogance of the Xiji people, and now it is true at
first sight. But this is indeed out of order, and it is also true to let the
elves enter the city. The dereliction of the garrison officer, I don't want to
see the long-eared monsters everywhere in the city, but there is a problem."
"His Royal Highness, please speak."
"The Shenzhou garrison is a hundred miles away. Jinxia City only depends on
the government officials and it will take ten and a half months. If you are
willing to wait--"
"This can be done by the fleet." The messenger answered without waiting for
her to finish speaking, "As long as you cooperate to close the city gate."
"But if you are hunting down, you will bring weapons into the city, right?"
Ning Wanjun frowned, "How can I guarantee that the pirates will not harm the
people under my control?"
The messenger took out a gold Kern and placed it on the table, "Using money as
a guarantee, what do you think? Lord Lord can provide a security deposit, and
if a household is damaged, a gold coin will be compensated."
He has seen this situation many times, so how can anyone in the upper rank
really care about the lives of the people in the city? These are just excuses
for bargaining.
Sure enough, the princess changed her attitude, "In that case... then you send
someone over."
"Thank you for your understanding and support. I will inform the adults of the
negotiation results." The messenger got up and planned to leave the camp.
"Wait," Ning Wanjun suddenly stopped him, "you should be an elf too, right?
The Natattin Kingdom treats your clan as goods, does it matter to you?"
"His Royal Highness joked." He said calmly, "The goods represent that these
people have value and they can live if they are valuable. For the weak, it is
a blessing to be alive. Could it be that the servants in your country's manor,
Are the serfs in the farmland not the same people? Their fate is often worse
than the goods, right?"
"What's more, the empire didn't block the ascending channel. As long as you
make contributions to Natantium, the elves or the descendants of elves can
also become empires." The messenger paused, "I, is the best example."
...
Invincible, on the stern deck.
Although it is not as warm here as in the captain's room, and the morning
breeze still carries a hint of chill, the Lord prefers to come to the deck to
give orders before battle. The vision here is wide, which not only allows you
to have a panoramic view of the overall situation of the fleet, but also
allows the crew to see themselves in the front line.
The small dining table placed behind the steering wheel is the watch position
carefully prepared for him by the captain.
Tural read the note in his hand and threw it to Captain Film. "It seems that
the outcome of the negotiation is good."
The latter took a look, "My lord, this deposit..."
"Then it must be confirmed that the death of the locals was indeed the work of
the pirates, not the hands of the elves." He slowly picked up the red tea cup
on the table, "Of course, we should also restrain those idiots a lot, don't
really make trouble for us. Something big has happened."
"Lord Lord," the captain hesitated, "do you think... the elves can enter the
city in large numbers because of the negligence of the garrison officer?"
"Mr. Film, what do you want to say?"
"Is there such a possibility that Shuzhou and Jinxia City have long been in
collusion?"
"You mean... they are also hitting our idea?" Tural chuckled lightly, "Ha,
then the other party must have this ability. There is neither a fort on the
beach, nor a battleship that can go to sea, sheltering the elves. Obviously it
was a loss-making business."
"You are right." The captain flattered.
"However, if the refugees of the World Island offer their seeds, the short-
sighted lord may be blinded by greed for a while." Tural lightly sipped black
tea. "As the saying goes, if things go bad, it will be troublesome for both
parties. Stop it in advance. It’s not a bad thing either."
He quickly made a decision, "In this way... all the ships do not call at the
port, so that the pirates will stay in battle formation, and the people sent
to Jinxia will land in small boats. In addition, they will mainly capture the
personnel. We only Just send an inspection team."
As long as the warship floats on the sea, the initiative is firmly in his
hands.
Even if the other party has any unrealistic delusions, seeing the dark
artillery on the ship should dispel the idea.
"Yes!" The captain quickly passed the Lord's instructions
down~www.mtlnovel.com~ More than thirty small boats washed up on the beach
outside Jinxia City under the strenuous stroke of the sailors.
The number of people carried by each small boat is between ten and sixteen,
which means that the small boat has to go back and forth between the fleet and
the coast many times to send enough people to land.
The impatient emperor naturally couldn't wait for the people to arrive before
taking action. The first batch of about 400 people from the first group
marched into the city in such a mighty force.
Among these 400 people, more than 90% are pirates.
They come from different ships and even factions are different, but this does
not prevent them from temporarily cooperating with each other and focusing
their energy on capturing elves... and this city on the continent.
Usually, a cargo ship is robbed and everyone can spend a long time, let alone
a city that has never been cultivated before?
George, the captain of the Black Crow, is one of them.
