Speaking of which, Ruolin's trip to Nanyang was indeed full of twists and turns. On the way back, she took the old priest Lao Benka from Nanyang with her. The old Benka was an experienced man and guessed that the other party might take the opportunity to draw a plot.
When the navigation map was leading the way, he deliberately took everyone to take a long detour. However, Ruolin saw through it and gave her a severe lesson before she calmed down.
In all the empire's expeditions to the South Seas, even the farthest places the fleet went to were far away from the giant Brahman Island. And because of this, the South Sea people living on Brahman Island were able to live in peace. Otherwise, if the empire knew about it,
In the far reaches of Southeast Asia, there is such a large island that is equivalent to the area of two provinces. It is almost the same as a small continent. Not to mention it is rich in products. If the empire knew about it, how could it not lead troops?
The reason for attacking?
Unfortunately, Benka's plan was discovered, and Ruolin was able to successfully draw the navigation map.
But after arriving at Brahman Island, the situation we faced was not that simple.
It turns out that since the last expedition of the Roland Empire fleet, which led to the establishment of the United Kingdom of Nanyang, the largest resistance was fought by the powerful navy of the empire. Almost the entire army was touched, making this new United Kingdom full of despair from top to bottom.
With this concept, the large tribes that united were even more divided. Many people even made up their minds to move their clans southward to the more distant southern seas.
When Ruolin arrived with her fleet, extremely fierce quarrels broke out within the United Kingdom of Nanyang. Faced with the suffocating pressure of the behemoth Roland Empire, the chiefs of the major tribes in the United Kingdom had different positions.
They are all different. Pessimism dominates the mainstream, and they believe that everyone should give up the Brahman Island where they have lived for generations and migrate to the south. Of course, there are also a few who are main battlefields and some fierce tribes who advocate gathering strength and fighting to the death against the Roland Empire.
Fight to defend your homeland.
What's even more strange is that this phenomenon actually gave rise to a strange faction, with several tribesmen even coming up with a third way: to seek peace with the Roland Empire.
But whether they are the escape faction, the war faction, or the peace-seeking faction, they all have a common understanding: they seem to have little interest in continuing to preserve this "kingdom". As for the current United Kingdom,
The temporary king is a relatively powerful tribe leader among these tribes. However, this tribe leader deeply trusts the high priest Lao Benka and insists on waiting until the high priest who went out to look for the "descendants of the Father God Tribe" comes back, and then everyone can discuss it.
Decide.
Under such circumstances, Ruolin brought a huge fleet of eighty giant ships to the huge Brahman Island.
It is conceivable that after experiencing many invasions by the Roland Empire, the Nanyang people have developed an almost instinctive fear and hatred towards the people of the Roland Empire.
Therefore, when such a huge fleet of eighty giant sea ships arrived at Brahman, it immediately caused panic. On land, what greeted Ruolin was the "United Kingdom Army" who hurriedly assembled after the panic.
Looking at these "armies" from a distance on the boat, Ruolin's group of men almost laughed out loud if this could be considered an army.
These indigenous people do not have uniform armor, or even uniforms. Many of them just wear animal skins, or even some "armor" made of rattan. The weapons in their hands are also mottled and messy, some of which are metal weapons.
Poor quality bows and arrows, and some even use sharpened wooden sticks.
Ruolin deeply understood that in order to complete Du Wei's "blackmail" mission, she must first "establish her authority"! Therefore, even though the high priest Benka begged, the female knight still made a decision: accept the challenge!
!
All the ballistae on the eighty giant ships fired a salvo!
Almost in a moment, the originally crude dock and port were bombarded into ruins, and hundreds of Tulip family guards on the ship fired volleys of bows and arrows. They were also the first to encounter them, causing heavy losses to the troops of the United Kingdom.
.
Then, those guys fled in panic.
The first person to meet them was to beat these Nanyang people until they hurt and frightened them. Later, Lao Benka was sent ashore by Ruolin to communicate with the Nanyang people. When the other party saw that the high priest had returned, they immediately convened a meeting of clan leaders.
Then they had to welcome the female knight from the Roland Empire to land in a big way.
Ruolin did not relax. She ordered all fleets to be alert and ready for battle at any time. She also ordered that no one was allowed to leave the ship, and no Nanyang boats were allowed to approach her fleet. Anyone who came within range of her fleet would be shot and killed.
.
Afterwards, Ruolin swaggered, took a few followers, took a small boat, and landed ashore.
Next, she was welcomed with solemn etiquette all the way to a "city" in Brahman Island, let's call it a "city". After listening to the statement of the chief priest Lao Benka, the meeting of chiefs of the United Kingdom learned that they had found
After finding out about the "descendants of the tribe of Father God", the crowd immediately became excited.
After all, Nanyang people's faith in God the Father is still very strong. Immediately, most people, whether they were fighting, making peace, or even the escape group, believed that little Lufic should be welcomed back.
However, there were two or three tribes that raised objections. They believed that they were going to leave anyway, and there was no need for a new king here. So, it would be a bit unreasonable to pay a huge price to welcome back a child.
Not worth it.
As a result, the argument turned into a brawl and the guys almost came to a fight.
This quarrel went on for ten days without any result, which made Ruolin extremely impatient. Finally, in front of all the clan leaders, the female knight said harshly:
"If you are not willing to pay any ransom, then I don't mind asking our Lord Duke to kill that kid immediately after I go back! Moreover, I brought a huge fleet here, but I went back empty-handed. I can't do anything to me.
The owner's explanation! Since you refuse to give me the money...then I have to take it myself!! I will return with my fleet tomorrow. Anyway, from here back to the Roland continent, we will pass through countless islands on the way. There are countless tribes of your size.
, I will kill all the way, kill all the way and rob all the way!"
These words are shocking enough!
To be honest, the eighty giant sea ships brought by Ruolin are really scary. At least, even the previous expeditionary force of the Roland Empire has never had such a large number of ships come. Not even Du Wei's father, Raymond
The count's expedition that year only brought more than thirty ships.
However, Ruolin is actually bluffing. After all, her fleet is different from the empire's navy. Although her fleet is large, there are no combat personnel on the eighty large ships, only sailors are retained. After all, these ships
We came here to transport things. If we came here with a full load of troops, where would there be room to transport things?
The fleet may appear to be huge, but its military force is actually not very strong.
But this also frightened the Nanyang people. They were not afraid of the Roland people coming ashore, but if Ruolin was allowed to go back all the way so arrogantly, burning, killing and looting all the way, although these large tribes living on Brahman Island were not afraid, after all, this time
There were also many people from the tribes on the surrounding small islands coming to the clan chief meeting. These people stopped working.
Immediately, many people succumbed to the position of the high priest Lao Benka.
On the night when Ruolin made the harsh words, large numbers of Nanyang people came to the shore, killing pigs and sheep, and sending melons, fruits and delicacies to the fleet one after another, just to appease these terrible people from the Roland Empire.
aggressor.
Those tribes that had a tough stance angrily withdrew from the clan chief meeting. Some chiefs of several tribes even went back to prepare for war!
Ruolin saw all this, but she had already made a decision in her heart.
The subsequent series of events fully demonstrated the growth of Ruolin as a female knight! Even after Du Wei listened to Ruolin's narration, he couldn't help but sigh: What a Ruolin! What a female knight!!
It turned out that Ruolin watched with cold eyes and saw clearly the internal conflicts among these Nanyang tribes. She actually took the people back to the ship without saying a word. That night, she mobilized the manpower and took all the people in the fleet this time.
The combatants mobilized 800 people, which was already the limit. They also quietly mobilized two large ships, and under the cover of night, personally took the 800 warriors and left in two large ships around Brahman Island...
According to the results of the past few days of secret investigation, Ruolin circled to the side of Brahman Island within three days, and then suddenly landed, attacking a strongly opposed tribe, five hundred elite Tulip family warriors, using superior weapons and armor, and also
With superb combat skills, he defeated the tribe almost overnight.
Beheading thousands of people, he killed a tribe of tens of thousands to pieces, and then burned the tribe to ashes with a fire. After that, without stopping at all, he took five hundred elites and went deep into Brahman Island for three hundred miles.
He used iron and blood to fight his way in, and defeated all the tribes in that area who opposed the high priest's proposal to welcome back King Rufik.
It was her first time to lead an army in battle, but she mastered the art of "soldiers are more valuable and are faster". She suddenly attacked all the way and was so powerful that all the tribes she reached were overwhelmed by the well-equipped and fiercely fighting Tulip family before they could even react.
The warriors were so killed that they collapsed. Just once, Ruolin wiped out two small tribes in one breath and almost crippled a medium tribe.
The heads of these three tribes, who were strongly opposed to it, were beheaded by Ruolin.
Of course, Ruolin's five hundred elites also suffered a lot. But in Ruolin's opinion, such sacrifices were worth it.
This news reached the clan leaders' meeting, and those who were still arguing were immediately shocked.
Ruolin's divine soldiers descended from the sky to launch a surprise attack, which put everyone in danger. In the end, the high priest Benka, although he was very helpless against Ruolin's bloody methods, he had to cooperate with Ruolin.
.
After Ruolin returned to the fleet with hundreds of men by boat, she no longer filed a case. Instead, she sent people to deliver the heads of the three tribal chiefs killed by Ruolin to these Nanyang people. At the same time, she also brought
The spy who went to Ruolin received an ultimatum: In three days, either you give me money, or I will take people to weigh anchor and return! Fight all the way back!
In three days, great changes took place on Brahman Island. The small and medium-sized tribes who were afraid of being killed by Ruolin immediately united tightly around the "surrender faction" headed by the high priest Lao Benka.
The two tough tribes were angered by Ruolin's actions. They went back and gathered their troops to take revenge.
"Then what?" Du Wei nodded repeatedly.
"Then..." Ruolin raised her eyebrows: "Then, of course, there will be a war."
There are more than twenty tribes living on Brahman Island, among which there are eight largest tribes. Each of these eight tribes has a population of hundreds of thousands. Because of Ruolin's actions and the "surrender" action of the high priest,
The two tribes with strong stances finally chose to use force to declare war.
But their weapons and equipment and their backward civilization made them doomed before the war began.
These guys gathered about 50,000 young warriors from the tribe, but unfortunately they were unable to attack Ruolin on the sea. Even though these tribes also had boats, those small boats could not cause any harm to Ruolin's fleet.
Moreover, Ruolin once again showed her cleverness at this time. Facing the menacing attack of tens of thousands of troops from the two tribes and the small boats of those tribes, Ruolin ordered the entire army to weigh anchor. That day, even
Without even saying hello, he led a fleet of eighty ships and left Brahman Island.
Ruolin's "escape" made the two tribes immediately become arrogant. They thought that their army had "scared away" Ruolin. But now that the war has begun, they cannot return without success. After losing
After defeating their biggest "combat enemy" Ruolin, they and their soldiers could only turn their anger towards the poor high priest Lao Benka and the "surrender faction" led by him.
As a result, 50,000 troops from the main war faction attacked the "capital city" of the United Kingdom, and the high priest Lao Benka had to go to war to protect himself. All the "surrender" tribes also united and gathered.
The armies of their respective tribes started a war.
At the beginning, the high priest Lao Benka didn't want to make the matter a big deal. He thought that as long as he could protect himself, fight off these hot-headed guys, and then find an opportunity to slowly appease them.
However, once the war started, it was no longer under his control.
After all, there have been so many tribes living in this land. Over the years, there have been conflicts and even feuds between various tribes. With such a big situation, some tribes will immediately take the opportunity to avenge themselves. Regardless of whether the high priest Benka
No matter how hard we try, we can't suppress the hatred, and the war escalates...
In the end, it almost evolved into eight major tribes on the entire Brahman Island, splitting into two factions and fighting among themselves.
And after the war lasted for fifteen days, Ruolin, who had already led the fleet to leave, suddenly led her huge fleet to kill a carbine!
It turned out that Ruolin had never left. After she calculated all this, she left Brahman Island with her fleet, circled the surrounding sea area, stopped at a nearby island to recuperate, and killed two people.
They were a small tribe. When the two sides were almost fighting, Wakabayashi led his fleet to fight back.
The huge fleet did not directly participate in the war between the two sides. Instead, Ruolin repeated her old tricks and mobilized all the combat personnel in the fleet, leaving only the sailors who could barely maintain the fleet, and then took advantage of the weakness of the opponent's maritime defenses.
, bypassed to the back of Brahman Island, and directly raided the hometowns of the two "main war faction" tribes!
With eighty ships, Ruolin gathered a total of one thousand subordinates who could go into battle, relying on the innate advantage of sneak attacks, coupled with strong combat strength, superior weapons and equipment. Moreover, the tribes of the two main war factions
, most of the young and strong soldiers were mobilized to the capital of the United Kingdom to fight the civil war, and the remaining strength was inevitably weakened. Ruolin made full use of these advantages, and in the end, she was defeated in one battle!!
A thousand people defeated the tens of thousands of soldiers left behind on the other side, and then successfully captured their hometown. Ruolin didn't want to kill more people, so she still followed the old method and set fire arbitrarily, burning the base camps of the two tribes into a scorched earth.
.Then the old, weak, sick and disabled were allowed to escape without Ruolin pursuing them.
As a result, the news from the rear reached the front, and the soldiers of the main war faction got the news that their hometown had been raided. Their morale suddenly fell to the bottom, and then they collapsed without fighting and were defeated by the capitulation troops of the great priest Lao Benka.
Two chiefs also died in the battle and had their heads chopped off.
In this battle, Ruolin cleverly provoked a civil war between the two sides, purging the "hard-line war faction" in the United Kingdom of Nanyang. As a result, no one dared to oppose the voice in the clan chief meeting. Moreover, after annihilating the two tribes,
, the land and population of those two tribes were also divided up by other tribes. With the benefits, there was naturally no opposition. Even though some tribes still had complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to speak when they saw the opponents on the stage.
.
Finally, the high priest Lao Benka passed the decision at the clan meeting to pay a ransom and welcome back Xiao Lufik (their future king).
Next, there was a negotiation about the ransom amount. Ruolin had the upper hand and refused to give in at all, causing the Nanyang people to bleed fiercely.
Eighty big ships, first they emptied the entire treasury of the United Kingdom! Then they divided it among tribes. Finally, Ruolin searched for three months and emptied every last drop of oil and water from the Nanyang people on Brahman Island.
They squeezed them all dry! But they were still unwilling to give in. They sent people to take boats to the surrounding islands to plunder one tribe after another.
Finally, the huge fleet of eighty ships returned home fully loaded.
This comes and goes over a year!
On the Nanyang Brahman Island, those Nanyang people who were badly beaten by Ruolin gave this female knight from the Roland Continent a series of nicknames: female butcher, female executioner...
"So, how much money do we have now?" Du Wei laughed.
Ruolin thought for a while: "Sir, Nanyang is rich in gold and gems, as well as ivory and spices. These are valuable and scarce things on our continent. I carefully counted the eighty ships I brought back.
After a while. If you sell all these things and get the numbers..."
Ruolin seemed to ponder for a moment: "Based on the figure that our Roland Empire's annual fiscal revenue is 60 million gold coins, the windfall we made this time is probably worth the empire's total fiscal revenue for five or six years!
"
The total fiscal revenue of the empire in 1956??!!
Even though Du Wei had already made psychological preparations, when he heard this number, he couldn't help but take a breath: "So many?!"
Ruolin nodded, but then the female knight smiled: "But, the matter is not over yet. Sir, in the fleet I brought back this time, I also brought a few from the United Kingdom of Nanyang.
Messenger, they asked to see you. Well. When I was on Brahman Island, the high priest Benka introduced my background in order to convince these people. The master behind me is you, the Tulip Duke of the Empire.
That old Benka also said that you are one of the most powerful figures in the empire. Below one person and above ten thousand people, you are the only person who can influence the emperor the most. These Nanyang people were frightened out of their courage by us.
The waiters sent this time are here to sue for peace and surrender. They request the Roland Empire to stop its aggression against them. In exchange, they are willing to pay a certain amount of wealth every year in exchange for peace."
Du Wei's eyes lit up and he glanced at Ruolin: "Have you promised them?"
Ruolin immediately shook her head solemnly: "Of course not! Sir, I am just your subordinate. How can I be qualified to make the decision on such a big matter? Ruolin will only obey the orders of your Lord. Of course, you have to do these important things."
It's up to us to decide." After a pause, Ruolin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the satisfied smile on Du Wei's face, and then said: "But I think I might as well agree to them. After all... speaking of it, I did a lot of searching this time.
That’s too cruel. I’m afraid there really isn’t much oil left for the Nanyang people now. A conservative estimate is that they won’t be able to recover within ten years. Even if the empire launches another expedition, I’m afraid they won’t be able to squeeze anything out of them.”
Du Wei's face was solemn, he closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, and then made a decision in his heart.
He stood up, looked at Ruolin, and said solemnly: "Ruolin, you did a great job this time, very well, I'm very satisfied! In the future, you don't have to stay at sea anymore. After this time, you
Follow me back to the northwest and serve in the Tulip family's army! Hehe! I didn't expect that you are very talented in leading troops. Since you have made great contributions this time, I will not treat you badly. I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief first.
Bring a few thousand soldiers first... Don't be too low-key, a war is about to begin, as long as you do a good job, you will be the first female general under my command from now on!"
Ruolin immediately took two steps back and knelt on the ground with one knee, a solemn gesture of knight etiquette.
Du Wei glanced at her and continued: "Also, for the warriors who died with you in Nanyang this time, you also make a list for me, and the pensions for their families... will all be paid ten times!
At this point, everything has been reported. Ruolin looked tired after a long journey. Du Wei was about to let her go down to rest, but Ruolin suddenly remembered something: "Sir, I came back from Nanyang this time, and I still
I brought something. It is said that this thing was left by the gods in the ancient temple. After the temple was destroyed by wildfire, the descendants of those gods lived in the world and brought this thing with them. There is still an original version preserved at the earliest.
In the treasury of the United Kingdom, the noble chiefs later thought that these were auspicious things left by the gods, and they also made a set of them for themselves. However... no one knew what these things were used for.
My lord, you told me to pay more attention to some strange things when I go there this time. So after I found out about the existence of this thing, those clan stations saw that I was interested, so they came up with a set and asked me to bring it with me.
Come back."
After saying that, Ruolin immediately went out. After a while, she came in with a long wooden box from her luggage. She solemnly placed it in front of Du Wei.
"Oh? Left by the gods?" Du Wei muttered in his heart. Could it be another thing left by Aragorn?
He took a deep breath, opened the box with a solemn expression, took a look inside, and his face immediately changed, as if someone had suddenly stuffed seven or eight eggs into Du Wei's mouth.
Du Wei stared at the contents in the box with his mouth open, and he didn't know whether the expression on his face was crying or laughing.
"This...is this thing?" He choked out this sentence.
Ruolin was curious: "This is it... Yi? Sir, you seem to recognize it?"
Du Wei reached out and touched the neatly arranged rows of things in the box.
Ten thousand, ninety thousand, eight handles, two...the wind from southeast to northwest...
Damn, this... this...
Isn’t this fucking mahjong!!
Suddenly, a picture seemed to flash in my mind: Thousands of years ago, in the temple of the Holy Mountain on Brahman Island, countless natives at the foot of the mountain prostrated and worshiped in the direction of the temple. In the temple, Aragorn had a cigarette in his mouth, and
His disciples of the gods sat at a table, and after touching a card, they yelled: "I touched it myself! What a fool!!"
