From Propulsion City To Multiverse

Chapter 44: Sky Island Raiders

   Sky Island, Bika.

   Haiyuan Calendar, February 7, 1500.

   An air fleet consisting of 12 airships suddenly appeared not far from Bikar.

   Bika’s God Kahn, after hearing the report from the priest, brought a group of guards and appeared on the edge of the island cloud on the west side of Bika.

   The fleet of 12 airships hovered about 800 meters away. The sense of oppression that was hidden from the sky made many people on the island very worried.

   In fact, Sky Island is not a paradise. There are many pirates from the Qinghai Sea.

   For example, the Golden Lion who was arrested just last year, his flying pirate group had visited the sky islands such as Bikar and Angel Island before.

   The rising ocean currents of Gaya Island, which has been dead for a lifetime, and the air route to the top of the western sky, every year many people from Qinghai enter the islands.

   Kahn stared at the fleet nervously, feeling like facing the flying pirate group, he hurriedly dispatched priests to negotiate with him.

   Just without waiting for the priest to pass, a team appeared on the airship, Mamen holding a dark scepter, appeared in front of Kahn and others.

   "I am the God Kahn of Bikar, who is your excellency? This is the territory of the Flying Pirates." Kahn tentatively said, while taking out a banner of the Flying Pirates.

   Apparently Kahn also knew that foxes were fake.

   Of course, Bika is a subsidiary force of the Flying Pirates, which is actually not a secret, even Angel Island.

   It’s just that the Golden Lion looks down on the empty island with scarce resources. As a reserve territory, the core area of ​​the flying pirate group was mainly the empty island above the New World and the New World.

   The sky island above the paradise is just a dispensable nominal possession.

  Especially after the Golden Lion escaped from prison, he directly abandoned the New World and most of the sky island, and has been hiding in the windless zone between the paradise and the East China Sea, planning the so-called "big plan."

   "Flying Pirates? Haha..." Mammon said shiftingly: "The Golden Lion was captured by the Navy last year. It is estimated that there is no way to manage the sky island."

   "What?!" Kahn was shocked.

   Mamen didn't explain anything, and directly touched the island cloud lightly with the scepter. In an instant, a large piece of ice crystals formed, and then dense ice thorns emerged from the ground.

  All the people of Sky Island are surrounded by ice thorns, and Kahn's face is pale: "Naturally... Department..."

   Ainilu, who was secretly hidden in the bushes, was also surrounded by sharp ice thorns. He didn't dare to move at all now. If he dared to move now, he would definitely be pierced by the ice thorns.

   Mamen knocked on the ground again with the scepter, and suddenly all the ice thorns turned into water vapor again.

   "Mr. Kahn, I am Mamen from the Tianyun Federation. I am very glad to meet you." After speaking Mamen knocked on the ground again with his scepter.

   A long marble table and two marble chairs were formed in front of him. After sitting down, he smiled and said, "Mr. Kahn, please sit down."

   Gulu! Kahn forcibly calmed down, sat on the opposite chair, and then asked: "Your Excellency Mammon, if there is anything you need to do for you, the old man will do his best."

   Regarding Kahn’s low profile and wit, Mamen smiled more broadly, and said with a smile: "I hope that Bika can establish friendly relations with our Tianyun Federation. This is a specific treaty for establishing diplomatic relations. Mr. Kahn can take a look."

   After speaking, Mamen handed a document to the other party.

   establish friendly relations? Kahn seemed to have ten thousand grass and mud horses rushing past. In the previous battle, he thought that this so-called Tianyun Federation was here to destroy Bika.

   But Kahn quickly put away his inner complaints and opened the treaty for establishing diplomatic relations.

   This treaty contains a lot of content. When summed up, the two sides have an equal relationship, free trade, mutual recognition of each other’s currency, legal exchanges between the people, approval of tariffs, extradition, and mutual assistance.

   involves a total of 15 aspects, which looks very friendly on the surface. For example, one of them is that citizens who allow Bicards to apply for naturalization in the Tianyun Federation, on the premise of voluntariness.

   For another example, in terms of tariffs, the two sides recognize each other as the most-favored-nation treatment.

   For a relatively primitive small society like Bika, they can't even notice some of the hidden pitfalls.

   Bika is still half-farming and half-hunting. Its economic system is extremely fragile, and Kahn can’t understand the terrible suppression of agricultural countries by industrial countries.

   After reading a series of clauses, the only part that made Kahn a little hesitant was the clause regarding the lease of Bika Southwest White Sea.

   The Tianyun Federation requested the lease of the barren white sea in the southwest of Bikka Island, with an annual rent of 500,000 gold (about 500,000 Baileys).

  Thinking about it again and again, Kahn thought of Mamen's dismissal just now, and didn't dare to offend the other party too much. After all, in his opinion, this treaty was not excessive.

   "Your Excellency Mammon, I agree to sign a treaty of friendship."

   Mamen said with a smile: "My friend, I wish the friendship between us, like the sun and the moon in the sky, will last forever."

   The two sides signed the "Tianyun-Bika Friendship Treaty" in duplicate, using Chinese and monthly scripts, and formally established the relationship.

   That night, Kahn held a special banquet for Mamen and others in the temple.

   The next day, at the White Sea in the southwest about 3 kilometers from Bikar Island, Mamen informed Lucifer that after the shadow channel was opened, a large amount of water vapor was transported here.

   Then release high-concentration hydrogen N particles to quickly build an island cloud belonging to the Sky Cloud Federation.

   Soon an island cloud with an area slightly larger than Bikkah appeared on the southwest side of Bikkah Island. The distance between the two was less than two kilometers, and a cloud road connected the two places.

   This island is named "Sunset Island" because it will appear orange-yellow when the sun shines, just like a sunset.

The residents of    Bikar Island have also seen the emergence of Sunset Island these days, and there is a large number of soil that the people of the sky island dream of. If it were not for the deterrence of the Mamen before, it is estimated that they would have taken a shot.

   Ainilu has also been secretly observing this group of mysterious people these days, especially since the other party also has no wings, which gives him a feeling of finding the same kind.

   In fact, the wings of the people from Sky Island are nothing more than decorations. The reason why Anilu has no wings is because he is an orphan.

On the main street of    Pika, five ghost soldiers in combat uniforms ~www.novelmt.com~ inside a shop, they posted a job advertisement at the door.

   This shop is also one of the official businesses of Tianyun Federation in Bikka. It mainly sells grain, vegetables, fruits and meat, as well as clothes and some daily necessities.

   For the aboriginal people of Bika with poor resources, their food sources are mainly hunting wild empty fish and empty beasts in the White Sea, or collecting some wild vegetables and fruits.

  The market here is also dominated by small-scale farmers. The people will take the excess of the empty fish caught in the small market for sale.

   The entire population of Bika is only about 3,764. Resources determine the upper limit of population development here.

   Although the mall of Tianyun Trading Company has been open for almost a week, very few locals come to consume it. It's not that they don't want to buy, but that they are shy in their pockets.

   As Mamen, who is in charge of the People's Revolutionary Federation's economy, knows the reason. People don't have money and naturally won't buy things. What's more, Tianyun Trading Company's products are all traded in gold.

   What needs to be done now is to use the method of labor exchange to make the residents of Bika rich, so that the products of Tianyun Federation can be sold.

  As soon as the job advertisement was printed, many people in the skyland passing by saw it.

   [Recruiting sailors, requires young and strong, no bad habits, can bear hardships and stand hard work, monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, 5 days off each month, successful applicants, 2,000 gold yuan for the settlement...

   Recruiting farm workers, requesting...]

   There are always 12 kinds of positions in the advertisement, and the number of recruits is planned to reach about 500 people.

   For Bika, which has a small population, if so many young labors are sucked away, it will be directly hollowed out.
