Broad World

"Master, Waylon's current situation is a bit embarrassing, especially in terms of infrastructure construction. Mulan is always stuck in our necks upstream. Whether it is living supplies or relocated population, passing by them will always make things difficult for us, even in recent weeks. There have also been many conflicts at sea, do you think it is possible to reciprocate?"

As soon as he got into the carriage, Su Li began to frown and pour out his bitterness. The grinning look seemed as if Mu Lan had a sworn enemy, and he wished to send troops to wipe him out immediately.

"Isn't there civil turmoil in Amn? Why does Mulan still want to trouble you? Could it be that you allowed those pirates to plunder merchant ships and be discovered by the other party?" Henry felt that this matter was a bit strange, and asked with a puzzled face. road.

Normally, although there will be some competition and filth in the two neighboring cities, most of the time they will not tear their skins apart, because there are too many dangers in this world, and God knows when they will need each other's help, so there is no need at all. It is impossible to really kill, the most is to hit the economy, and now it has obviously exceeded this limit.

He even wondered if the pirates in the kingdom's navy at sea had gone too far and were accidentally discovered by the other party, otherwise why would Mulan react so violently.

Su Li rubbed his eyebrows, recalled for a few minutes, and then shook his head very solemnly: "Absolutely impossible! I have strictly stipulated that no looting activities are allowed when flying the navy flag, and after each looting, All the captives will be sent to the Nelanthir Islands for resettlement, and the stolen merchant ships will also be reformed there. The last important point is that our pirate ships have never approached Mulan's control range, so they will never find out. "

"Then how do you explain this abnormal behavior? Did they come to trouble you when they were full? Or did some of your policies annoy the other party? Recall all the things that happened in the past few months, maybe You left out some important details." After speaking, Henry leaned on the backrest and waited without saying a word.

There is no love without a reason in the world. There is also no gratuitous hatred and hostility.

In his eyes, Mu Lan's actions were absolutely rushed, otherwise, it would be impossible to show his strength and influence with all his might and claws like a cat with its hair blown up.

You must know that since the end of the Battle of the Floating Void City in the North, countless countries have developed a certain degree of fear of the new Kingdom of West Hartland. Even the Kingdom of Cormyr, which has always regarded itself highly, has sent envoys, not to mention a mere port. City.

Henry believed that if he went to war with Mulan, the Council of Six would never have the courage to send troops to rescue. They will only choose to reduce major issues to minor ones, and finally resolve disputes at the negotiating table, so something particularly important must have happened, and it must be clarified.

After thinking about it, Su Li didn't think of anything suspicious. Just when he was at a loss, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "My God! Could it be that the pirates robbed the gold transported from the Amn colony?" , silver and jeweled ships..."

Hearing this sentence, Henry's expression changed immediately, and he shouted in surprise, "What?!! Your people robbed Amn's gold ship?!!!"

At this moment, his heart is like ten thousand alpacas galloping past. I don't know how to describe this feeling at all.

Because this is like a group of children attacking an adult with a machete with toothpicks, and finally the adult was stabbed to death by a group of children with toothpicks.

Amn's gold ship is famous all over the world, relying on frantic looting in the Maztec continent. Every year, a huge ship loaded with gold, silver and precious stones crosses the vast sea, transporting goods worth millions of gold coins to Askatra or Mulan.

In order to prevent pirates from robbing, their routes and destinations will only be secretly handed over to the captain by the governor of the colony when they leave. The captain will not open it until halfway through the voyage. A core guard composed of fighters, paladins and thieves above level ten, and four masked mages. It can be said that it is armed to the teeth, even if it fights with a dozen pirate ships at the same time, it will be no problem.

Henry couldn't imagine how it was possible for the pirates of the Nelanthal Islands to capture such a sea fortress. The hull of the ship, which was ten or even twenty times larger than itself, had already caused great difficulty in attacking. The fighting power, have these guys taken the wrong medicine? !

Now he seemed to understand why the other party reacted in such a way, because the destination of the gold ship this year was Mulan, and the masked mage on the gold ship must have seen something. Casting teleportation magic to escape and reporting the matter to Mulan, all the threatening actions they are making now are just to get back their goods.

Su Li, who realized that the situation was not good, did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly lowered his voice to explain: "Master, the matter is like this. A few days ago, we received a report that a ship full of expensive goods was passing through Amn. Neilanser Islands. It not only gives detailed information and ship information, but also the exact departure time."

Speaking of this, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva: "I didn't think much about it at the time, and I just dispatched about half of the pirate ships to encircle it. As a result, the battle was more tragic than expected. Although we won in the end, we also lost Ten large warships, twelve small and medium-sized warships, more than 700 sailors died in the battle, and less than 100 pirates who survived were in a trance. In the end, I arranged all of them to the secret base. Including that golden ship."

"More than 800 pirates won the standard configuration of Amn's golden ship!! To be more specific, how did your men win?"

Although the losses of the pirates have been too heavy to be added, in Henry's view, this victory is really not normal, because the combination of mages and advanced melee professionals is not an enemy that can be defeated by numbers alone, let alone three The elite soldiers of Amn who are staring at each other, even if they are all blessed with magic and divine arts, they can't win.

The professional level of most Nelanthir pirates is about three levels, and they can reach level five if they are proficient. Only a few sturdy captains have a combat effectiveness of around seven to eight. Warriors in heavy armor pose too much of a threat, so in theory. This battle should be a one-sided massacre, and the winner should undoubtedly belong to the Amkin Ship.

"This matter is a bit strange to say. According to the descriptions of those mentally disturbed pirates, when the siege was launched, a blood-red light suddenly appeared on the target ship, covering a few kilometers of sea directly. They have forgotten since then Everything, the magic of the mage and the magic of the priest seemed to have failed. After waking up, there were mutilated corpses all over the place. I think this thing is a bit weird, so I haven't touched anything on the ship until now. "

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Su Li's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of fear. He felt it must be a curse or the effect of some evil magic, that perhaps the gold and gems in the hold had been polluted.

"Blood-red light?" Henry suddenly became interested. "Is this batch of gold, silver and precious stones just mined, or some gold and silver vessels, statues and the like?"

Su Li probably thought about it, and immediately replied: "Most of them are newly mined gold and silver ingots, but there are also a small part of handicrafts, as for the gemstones, they seem to have been polished to a certain extent, and some of them are still stained with blood. If I'm not mistaken, it should be snatched from the local native Buluo."

As an Amnian, he knew exactly what a so-called colony was. Although it looks orderly on the surface, almost everyone, including the mercenary group, abides by the law and order, but when they enter the wild land, they will immediately turn into robbers and villains, looting weak and weak tribes everywhere, Loot their valuables, kill men, old people and children, rape young women. Otherwise, how could such a huge amount of wealth be transported back in just one year.

The plunder of lower civilizations by higher civilizations is always full of blood and cruelty. Sometimes the governor of the colony will even order the garrison to participate. Back then, the church of Heim, the God of Guardians, massacred the Maztec continent. It was also approved by the Council of Six, otherwise they would not be so courageous.

You must know that since DR1361, as the first country to discover the Maztec continent, Amn has occupied the most fertile land on that land, and at the same time has the most powerful power. All countries have to rely on their noses to barely gain a foothold in the New World, otherwise a group of unknown mercenaries will immediately appear to kill and burn all the buildings.

Regarding the attitude towards the colony, the Council of Six completely let go of all pretense. Directly issued an order to scrape the ground three feet, the governor was forced to do nothing. We can only plunder and plunder, and then capture those poor aborigines and throw them into the mines, let them pan for gold and dig gems around the clock, and catch a batch after they are exhausted, and so on.

"Well, I think it should be that there is a very powerful magic item in this batch of treasures, and it may be a cursed item. I will check it myself before I leave. In addition, Mulan should know about this item. That’s why their attitude changed drastically. But don’t worry, as long as you continue to cut off the sea connection between them and Askatla, don’t worry about the rest.” Henry gave instructions immediately after a little consideration.

After finding out the cause of the incident, he was no longer so nervous, and he relaxed completely, not worried about being known by outsiders.

After all, the situation in Amn has been corrupted to such an extent, and it won't be long before Mulan will be breached by the monster army. At that time, no matter what evidence there is, it will be completely forgotten. Now he is more concerned about what can make both magic and divine arts possible. doesn't work.

Su Li obviously didn't understand this kind of thinking, and asked cautiously: "Are you sure? If this matter spreads, it may be bad for your reputation."

"Fame?" Henry curled his lips in disdain. "This thing can indeed have a good effect when you use it, but remember, you must not be dragged down by it. Do what you should do, and don't pay attention to those gossips at all, let alone this time. Something must happen."

After speaking, an inscrutable smile appeared on his face... (To be continued~^~)
