After eating and drinking with Pedro, Reggie returned to his bedroom and opened Abu's map.
According to the marks on the map, Chi Luomen is still in Tieshuan Port. He has stayed there for eight days. If it was just to collect a hundred sheepskins, this time seems to be a bit longer.
Pedro was right, he was preparing for a war, and the One-Eared Wolf King had already joined this war. According to his previous route, the Golden Wolf King was also one of his helpers.
"This guy is quite smart," Hurley said solemnly as he looked at the map. "I thought he would continue to use ranger tactics, but I didn't expect that he would choose to advance both by land and water."
"First feint at sea, and then catch me off guard on land," Reggie exclaimed in admiration. "Finally I saw some fresh tactics, but then again, how did you get into my room?"
Hurley's move made Reggie feel familiar.
"I got Modessa's permission, just like Prince Chris back then." After saying that, Hurley picked up a bunch of grapes from the table and ate them.
Reggie didn't resent Hurley's presumption. Since Chris left, he felt unbearable loneliness. He was looking forward to Hurley's next suggestions, but this time he was disappointed. Hurley was not Chris.
"What are you looking at me for?" Hurley looked stunned, "I just didn't expect him to move both by water and land, but I also didn't expect a way to deal with him."
"You just came to see the fun!" Reggie's good impression of Hurley disappeared instantly. He wanted to be alone for a while, but Hurley was in no hurry to leave.
"Actually, I'm very curious about one thing," Hurley said, "Are you sure this mark really represents the location of Chiluomen? I still firmly believe that he will burn everything related to you. Of course, he
You may also give these things to others to confuse your judgment. Maybe the one left in Tieshuan Port is just one of his servants."
Reggie shook his head and said, "He can't burn it or give it away, because Abu's totem is in his body."
"In the body?" Hurley said in surprise, "You mean you buried the fear in his heart?"
"This is not a metaphor. I asked Imma to sew Abu's totem into his wound. The totem is made of gum and will not decay within a year or two."
"What about in a year or two?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Reggie laughed, "Do you think he can survive another year or two?"
Reggie allocated part of his force to defend the coast because he was sure Chiluomon would stage a feint attack at sea.
"Why wasn't the raid carried out at sea?" Hurley couldn't figure it out. "Why didn't he put the main force on the ship? Is it just because you can't ride horses on the ship?"
Reggie was a little disappointed, Hurley and Chris were too far apart.
"We have been in Sangro Port for more than two months, and you still know nothing about this place. The wind and waves in this port are extremely strong, and the tide level changes very obviously. There are only certain times every day when ships can dock. If
He chose to raid at sea, which means he told me the time of the raid. Do you think I will give him a chance to dock?"
Reggie's explanation of the tactics was perfect, but Hurley disagreed: "Don't say I didn't remind you, things may be different from what you imagined. Don't forget your pitiful troops. If you make the slightest mistake, you may be in trouble again."
I can’t see Broken Snow City anymore either.”
Hurley's worries made Reggie feel that they were superfluous, and he made simple adjustments to the defense. Reggie began to concentrate on dealing with Tianxing Kingdom.
Alfred the Great wanted respect, so Reggie would give him the respect he deserved, of course, provided that he did not lower his status.
He wanted to draft a letter, and Hurley volunteered to write it for him. The content of the letter is as follows:
Dear Alfred the Great:
Out of respect for you, I wrote this letter as the lord of the Broken Snow Kingdom. I know that you have a deep friendship with the barbarians of the Benlang Kingdom, but you must understand one thing. I am now the real leader of the Benlang Kingdom.
Master. From today on, every business you do with Benlang Country will have to go through my hands. If you still need soft wool and delicious mutton, remember to come to Sangro Port to find me. I will treat you warmly.
You and your ministers...
Hurley confidently waited for Reggie's praise: "I think I expressed what you meant accurately!"
"You're right, it's very accurate." Reggie really didn't know how to describe this letter. "What do you think is the difference between this and a letter of challenge?"
"Just think of it as a challenge," Hurley shrugged. "You're going to fight anyway, so you're not afraid of having one more opponent."
Not afraid of having another opponent? Reggie looked at the wine glass in Hurley's hand and returned with a piece of lamb chops: "Don't just drink, you can also eat some lamb."
Hurley's letter was thrown into the waste paper pile by Reggie, and Sulit soon sent a letter as well, with the general content as follows:
The Star Kingdom is the oldest empire on Origino, and countless deeds are widely spread on the continent (he wrote three full pages of parchment to list the deeds of the Star Kingdom). Reggie admires Alfred the Great very much and is willing to
Establish an unbreakable friendship with Tianxing Kingdom...
"Who did you learn writing skills from?"
"My uncle," Hurley said with a proud smile, "he once served as a foreign affairs officer in the Lion City. He said that I am very talented and will one day become an outstanding scribe."
"He is right. You are really talented. This letter can be regarded as a model document for the Kingdom of Lane."
Su Lite smiled modestly and said: "It's a pity that this is not my ambition. I prefer to ride on a war horse and write my life with a lance and crossbow."
"I'm not complimenting you," Reggie said in embarrassment, "If possible, please forget everything your uncle taught you as soon as possible."
"Is there anything wrong with this letter?" Su Lit looked at Reggie in confusion.
"I can't say there's anything wrong with it, it's just..." Reggie licked his lips and said, "I can understand Ansley's mood to a certain extent now. She often hears you talk a lot of nonsense, but she never listens.
I understand what you mean."
Natalie also sent a draft of the letter, which suited Reggie very well.
The beginning of the letter briefly expressed Reggie's respect for the Star Kingdom, and then directly wrote Reggie's thoughts on resuming trade with the Star Kingdom.
Natalie focused on describing the rules that Reggie established at Sangro Port. He turned physical exchange into currency settlement, which was the most attractive thing to the Star Kingdom.
Tianxing Kingdom is the largest exporter of gold coins on the continent. As Pedro said, each gold coin is engraved with a star. He was referring to the unique mark left by Tianxing Kingdom on the gold coins.
The gold coins produced by all other countries are completely in accordance with the craftsmanship and standards of the Tianxing Kingdom. Even if it is on the road to decline, the Tianxing Kingdom's position on the mainland is still unshakable.
