A chain of islands between Qunyu Island and Shell Island.
The two fleets are still in a state of confrontation, and no one has launched an attack, which seems to be a tacit understanding.
But at this time, the status of the two parties was completely different.
Qin Feng was lying on the recliner, his face expressionless, but his heart was always anxious.
A few days have passed, and there is still no attack from the other side, so their target must be Betty. I wonder how Betty and the others are doing now... Qin Feng looked to the opposite side, and a small boat with a blue flag was heading towards the Ming fleet.
Coming.
"Captain, they are coming to negotiate..." Zheng Zhilong came to Qin Feng to report.
"Well, it's up to you to negotiate with the other party. Let's see what they say first. If you can't make a decision, just put it off for now. We'll discuss it when you come back..." Qin Feng doesn't plan to go in person. It's really not suitable to see him like this now.
people.
"Yes..." Zheng Zhilong stepped back.
Under the guidance of the Ming Dynasty fleet, the negotiating boat passed through various ships and arrived at the fleet's flagship after twenty minutes.
There were only three people in the boat, a rower, a soldier carrying the flag, and a negotiator.
The soldiers carrying the flag and the negotiators followed the rope ladder to the Qingfeng. They saw two rows of silver-armored warriors standing on the decks, staring at them eagerly. In the center was a Taishi chair with a tall man sitting on it.
The general's face shows no anger but no authority.
The negotiators in sacrificial robes came to the center of the soldiers and stood there 15 steps away from Zheng Zhilong. They smiled slightly and did not pay attention to the intimidating looks of the soldiers around them.
He did not bow to the visitor, raised his chin slightly, and said in a high pitched voice, "Tenglong Kingdom...the previous life was the Paya Kingdom, right..."
Seeing that no one around him paid attention and just looked at him quietly, the negotiators who came were not angry and continued to smile: "We have two ways for you to go now. One is to become our vassal country. What I am talking about is our group of fish."
Do you understand that the vassal state of the island is not the Republic of Tas?"
"You should be grateful for your goods, which allow you to have the capital to become our vassal country. If you were just a poor and weak country, we would turn you all into slaves and sell them to various empires."
"Becoming our vassal country will still benefit you. At least no other country will bully you. Moreover, we have a larger market and you will make more money."
"I heard about Baron Blackstone. You had no choice but to cooperate with the traitor Wood. But as long as you surrender to us, Baron Blackstone's matter won't be a problem to us. We can even hand him over to you.
Disposal…”
"What about the second way?" Maybe the other party talked too much, and they were all about surrender. Zheng Zhilong knew that Qin Feng didn't like to hear it, so he immediately changed the subject.
"Haha, secondly..." The negotiator glanced at Zheng Zhilong and commented on him in his mind. He seemed tall and mighty, but he couldn't hold his breath...
"Of course... it's a dead end..." The person pointed in a circle with a very arrogant attitude, "You, and you, will all die..."
"Looking for death..." The soldiers stared at him with wide eyes, and drew out half of the swords in their hands, the threat was self-evident.
But the visitor still didn't care. He stretched out his hand and waved it back, "I just have a gift for you..."
The soldier carrying the flag took off the wooden box from his back and walked towards Zheng Zhilong carrying the wooden box.
On the way, a general guard under Zheng Zhilong stopped him, grabbed the wooden box with both hands and tried to take it away. Of course, the flag-carrying soldier refused, and also grabbed the wooden box tightly, so the two grabbed the box and wrestled with each other.
.
At this time, one of Qin Feng's generals strode over to the two of them. He grabbed the wrist of the flag-carrying warrior with both hands, and with a slight exertion, the other party let go of the wooden box with an ouch.
hands.
"Huh!" the flag-carrying soldier snorted angrily. Seeing that there were so many people on the other side, he didn't dare to take it by force, so he turned around and retreated.
Zheng Zhilong's generals came to Zheng Zhilong holding the box and said, "General."
"Well, good job."
After receiving praise from Zheng Zhilong, Jiang Wei smiled simply.
Zheng Zhilong was also curious about what gift the other party would give, so he lifted it with one hand, and the wooden box immediately opened. When he took a closer look, a trace of horror appeared in his eyes.
"Robert?"
What was placed in the wooden box was Robert's dead head. The blood on it had dried, and there was a strong smell of corpse.
Robert is actually dead? What about Betty? She also...
"Where's Betty?" Zheng Zhilong then raised his head and asked directly, hoping to hear a different answer from the messenger's mouth.
"Hahaha..." The negotiator laughed at first, and then shook his head pretending to be helpless, "Robert was killed by us, do you think Betty can still escape our hands?"
"Of course she is a guest on our ship. Our people are entertaining her nicely..." When the word "entertainment" was mentioned, the negotiator immediately gritted his teeth.
"Hey..." Zheng Zhilong glanced at Robert's head and sighed, reaching out to close the wooden box.
Now that Robert is dead and Betty has been captured, our Ming fleet may be unable to support itself alone. How can we resist the fleet from Qunyuzhou Island?... Zheng Zhilong showed a hesitant look on his face.
This happened to be seen by the negotiator, so he took a step forward and said loudly: "I advise you to surrender quickly. If it weren't for that woman Betty, I don't think you can deal with the 'Sea Beast Legion' and 'Empty Bird Legion'.
And the backup reserves of these two legions are already on their way, accompanied by more fleets."
"As soon as they arrive, all you will end up with is feeding the fish."
"Besides, I am afraid that part of our fleet has now reached the rear of the Pirate Alliance. I think you should know what the result is. Shell Island is at the end of its rope. You don't have to go to destruction with them. Whether you live or die, it all depends on you.
Chosen."
Zheng Zhilong frowned, and his face became more and more hesitant. In the end, he really couldn't decide, so he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Messenger, please go back first. I need to think for a while."
"Okay, we need to think carefully, how long do you want?" The negotiator showed a proud smile on his face. He believed that Zheng Zhilong would definitely give in, because the general trend is now clear, and Shellzhou Island will soon be over.
"Three days..."
Watching the negotiator leave with satisfaction, Zheng Zhilong stood up from his seat and pushed open the cabin behind him, looking worriedly at Qin Feng on the recliner, "Captain, you have heard it, what should we do now?"
I didn't expect the changes to be so fast. Now we are like walking on a tightrope. If we don't pay attention, we will fall into the abyss... Qin Feng's eyes are dark, thinking about the next journey.
"How about...surrender?"
Qin Feng's eyes looked at him, gradually becoming sharper, and he felt like he could stab someone blind in a second.
"I'm just talking casually, I don't take it seriously, I don't take it seriously..." Zheng Zhilong stretched out his hand to wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead. He just had the illusion that he was about to be enrolled in a death camp.
"The words of these nobles are no better than farts. Our destiny should be in our own hands..."
In fact, that's what Qin Feng just thought. Regarding surrender, maybe it didn't matter to him alone in the past, but when he was surrounded by tough Ming men, how could he bear to let them grovel to others? Besides, as long as he gave
With a little more time, the future of the Ming Dynasty soldiers will be brighter.
"At night, retreat towards the Tenglong Kingdom and ask Chang Yuchun and Hua Rong to come over. I want to hold a meeting."
Qin Feng's face turned dark. Zheng Zhilong looked through the window and saw that it was getting close to night.
Alas! There is no point in continuing the fight. The Pirate Alliance will definitely run away, Admiral Wood will definitely fail, and the Ming fleet will only suffer heavy losses here and gain nothing. These are all the results of being weak.
If the Ming Dynasty had more fleets... Qin Feng knocked hard on the armrest of the recliner, causing the entire recliner to fall apart.
When the general guard outside the door heard the commotion, he immediately changed Qin Feng to a new recliner.
When the negotiator returned to the flagship of the Qunyuzhou Island fleet, a figure suddenly appeared and stopped him.
"Jeff, what did they say?"
The negotiator looked up and saw that it was the seventh high priest Will, a guy who likes to make trouble for others.
"They were a little hesitant, but I could see that they had no resistance to surrendering to us. He asked me for three days to think about it."
"And I... agreed to their request..." Jeff said with certainty, "They will definitely surrender in three days. They have no other choice, right?"
"Yes, they have no choice. It just so happens that our reinforcements will arrive in three days." Will smiled and said: "You did a good job this time. You will soon be the seventh high priest."
"Hmph! The seventh high priest? When the Bald Eagle sent Robert's head, he also sent the news that the fourth and fifth high priests were killed. We will all increase the number of two people, and I will be the sixth high priest.
"Jeff was indignant. Except for the first high priest who has a higher status, the other high priests actually have similar rights, but they like to compare with each other in terms of ranking.
"No, I recommended the position of the Sixth High Priest to one of my nephews..." Will suddenly showed his white teeth, both to show off and to threaten, "He is also the pinnacle of expert level..."
"You... hum..." Jeff understood the principle that a good man should not suffer the immediate consequences, so he turned and left. The other party had two expert-level peak combat powers. If he dared to disagree, he would be the one to suffer in the end.
The next day, the eighth high priest Jeff yawned and walked out of the cabin, and suddenly felt the ship's hull shaking.
Is this a warship in motion? What happened?... Jeff wiped his eyes and looked around, only to see Will wearing a white sacrificial robe walking toward him. From a distance, he could feel the emotion on his face.
A chill.
"What's wrong? Will, what happened?" Jeff asked casually, not knowing the situation yet.
"Oh, the Tamron people you thought would surrender escaped last night..." Will showed his white teeth, which looked like sharp teeth in a shark's mouth in Jeff's eyes, "Your attempt to persuade them to surrender failed. It seems that you were originally sent
It would be a mistake to be a messenger."
"Useless guy..."
"What did you say? You arrogant crab..." Jeff immediately pushed back, but in the face of the other party's mocking eyes, he angrily put down his harsh words, "I will make them pay the price."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving one footprint after another on the deck...
