Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 373 The Will to Power

Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan met the envoy sent by the enemy at the headquarters.

Surprisingly, the messenger turned out to be an elf—at least, it looked like an elf from the outside, with tall facial features and pointed ears, but the rare black hair color.

"Your safety," the envoy put his hands on his chest and put his hands on his back, bowed and saluted, "I am here to convey the message of the Governor of the Western Sea Region, the warrior of the Nattatin Empire, the second Viscount of Freeland, Lord Tural Nat I don’t know who can make the decision on your side?”

"Ahem." Xia Fan cleared his throat and said solemnly, "The lady in front of you is Birth of Flame, Suzaku Breaker, True Dragon Bloodline, Ruler of Shenzhou Realm, Three Princesses of the Royal Family, Ning Wanjun. Your Highness. She rules over everything here."

Staff Officer He, Eunuch Li and the others were stunned when they heard this. Even Ning Wanjun himself was a little distracted, and subconsciously touched his cheek with one hand.

But fortunately, she interrupted her actions halfway, "Jinxia City welcomes your arrival. But can you please explain why your ship not only did not dock at the port, but also opened the gun door on one side?"

"Sorry, Your Royal Highness. That's not the army of the Nattatin Kingdom, but a pirate ship." The messenger pretended, "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 They were brought back by the fleet. These alien monsters are the property of the kingdom, and they were able to escape only because of some accidents. I don't think Her Royal Highness wants the monster race to run amok in your territory, right?"

"I see." Ning Wanjun nodded, "So those opened gun doors are a threat?"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness." The envoy showed a embarrassed look, "Because it is property, it also has a share of pirates. They are extremely sensitive and irritable when losing money. If Lord Tural did not intervene, this group of people would not be able to bear it." Now. But I promise, 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, then nodded, "I have heard about the rudeness and arrogance of the Xiji people for a long time, and now I see that it is true. But this matter is really inappropriate, and it is also wrong to let the elves enter the city." I don’t want to see long-eared monsters everywhere in the city due to the dereliction of duty of the garrison officer, but there is only one troublesome place.”

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"The Shenzhou garrison is a hundred miles away from here. It will take ten days and half a month for Jinxia City to rely on government officials. If you are willing to wait—"

"This can be done by the fleet." The messenger immediately answered without waiting for her to finish speaking, "As long as you cooperate to close the city gate."

"But if you hunt them 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 rule?"

The envoy took out a gold coin and put it on the table, "What do you think of using money as a guarantee? Your lord can provide a guarantee, and if a household is damaged, a gold coin will be compensated."

He has seen this kind of situation many times, how can anyone in high position really care about the life and death of the people in the city? These are just excuses for bargaining.

Sure enough, the princess changed her attitude, "If that's the case...then send someone over."

"Thank you for your understanding and support. I will inform you about the results of the negotiation." The envoy stood up and planned to leave the tent.

"Wait," Ning Wanjun suddenly stopped him, "You should be an elf too? Doesn't it matter to you that the Nattatin Kingdom treats your fellow clan as goods?"

"Your Highness was joking." He said indifferently, "The goods represent that these people still have value, and they can live if they have value. For the weak, it is a blessing to be able to live. Could it be that the servants in your country's manor, Aren't the serfs in the farmland the same clan? Their fate is often worse than that of goods, right?"

"What's more, the empire has not blocked the ascending channel. As long as you make contributions to Nattatin, elves or their descendants can also become imperial people." The envoy paused, "I am the best example."

...

Invincible, on the poop deck.

Although it is not as warm as in the captain's cabin, and the morning breeze is still chilly, the Lord prefers to come to the deck to give orders before battles. The field of vision here is wide, not only can you have a panoramic view of the overall situation of the fleet, but it is also convenient for the crew to see themselves on the front line.

The small dining table behind the steering wheel is the watching position carefully prepared for him by the captain.

Tural read the note in his hand and threw it to Captain Ferring, "It seems that the result of the negotiation is good."

The latter took a look, "My lord, this deposit..."

"Then you have to confirm that the death of the local people was indeed caused by pirates, not by the elves." He slowly picked up the black tea cup on the table, "Of course, we should also restrain those idiots more and stop making trouble for us." Something big is going to happen."

"My lord," the captain hesitated, "Do you think... that the elves were able to enter the city in large numbers because of the defender's negligence?"

"Mr. Ferring, what do you want to say?"

"Is there a possibility that Shuzhou and Jinxia City have colluded for a long time?"

"You mean...they are also planning on us?" Tural chuckled, "Ha, then the other party must have this ability. There are neither forts nor warships that can go to sea by the sea, and the protection elves Clearly a loss-making business."

"You're right," said the captain flatteringly.

"However, if the fugitives from World Island offer the seeds, the short-sighted lord may be blinded by greed for a while." Tural took a sip of black tea, "As the saying goes, if things go bad, it will be a trouble for both parties, so stop it in advance It's not a bad thing either."

He quickly made a decision, "In this way...all the ships will not call at the port, let the pirates maintain their formation, and send people to Jinxia to land in small boats. In addition, they will mainly arrest people. We only Just need to send an inspection team."

As long as the warship floats on the sea, the initiative is firmly in your own hands.

Even if the other party has some unrealistic delusions, seeing the dark cannons on the ship, they should give up their thoughts.

"Yes!" The captain quickly passed on the Lord's instructions.

...

More than 30 small boats washed up on the beach outside Jinxia City under the vigorous rowing of the sailors.

Each small boat carries between ten and sixteen people, 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.

Naturally, the impatient imperial army could not wait for all the people to arrive before taking action. The first batch of about 400 vanguard troops marched into the city in such a mighty manner.

Among the four hundred 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 on capturing the elves... and the city of this continent.

Normally, just robbing a cargo ship can make everyone squander for a long time, let alone a city that has never been reclaimed?

George, the captain of the Black Crow, is one of them.
