Chang Yuchun stood up, raised his head slightly, and looked at him with oppressive eyes.
"Did we come all the way here just to give you gold coins? You should have considered this situation last time when you went to war without declaring it."
"Now I give you two ways. One is to surrender immediately and pay tribute every year. The other is, we will start a war now and fight until you surrender or perish."
"Hahaha..." Baron Coker laughed so hard that he almost couldn't straighten up.
After a while, he said: "Do you know that our Sanfors Federation has assembled an army of 200,000 people? If you dare to threaten us with force, I guarantee that the dark forest you previously occupied will change hands."
"I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, our Sanfors Federation's 700-ship fleet is not just for viewing."
With that said, Baron Kirk turned around and pointed around, and said with a smile: "Look at your battleships, big ones, small ones. I'm afraid there are only about 50 of them that can be used as main battleships, and almost all of our Sanfors's are main battleships.
, it’s not too easy to eliminate you.”
"It seems that you still haven't come up with conditions that satisfy me." Chang Yuchun sat down again.
Then he said calmly to the guards around him: "Throw them all off the boat and let the fish in the sea take care of them."
Dozens of Ming soldiers strode over and surrounded them in a circle, leaving them with no way to escape.
"What are you doing? What are you going to do?" Only then did Kirk begin to panic.
"You barbarians, do you know that you cannot kill the envoy when two armies are fighting? I am the envoy. If you kill me, we, Sanfors, will fight to the death with you, and our 200,000-strong army will flatten your territory.
.”
Chang Yuchun snorted coldly, "Messenger? Did you send an envoy when you suddenly attacked us last time? You are even more barbaric. I don't want to talk nonsense to you. When my army destroys your Sanfors Federation, I will
Your master will ask you to accompany you to the underworld, and let you continue to serve them."
"Ah, no, we can talk more..."
Chang Yuchun did not say stop, and the surrounding soldiers continued to faithfully carry out the orders, subduing all the envoys present, the Tas nobles and the soldiers behind them.
They were tied up with ropes and then all thrown into the sea. No matter how they begged for mercy, the sea still swallowed them mercilessly.
"Keep moving forward. We cannot disappoint the governor's orders and vow to capture Coconut Island." Chang Yuchun shouted.
They are summoned soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who can be upgraded through war. If there is no war, what is the meaning of their existence?
"Vow to capture Coconut Island." Many officers and soldiers shouted.
Then nearly a thousand ships headed towards the Coconut Island of the Silver Principality.
At the shooting range of the Singing City Fortress, Heleus was training in archery. Compared to his swordsmanship, his bow and arrow skills were really poor, but he still worked hard to improve and strive to have no shortcomings.
At this time, the news reached Heleus's ears, and he looked at the intelligence officer Warren who reported to him in disbelief.
"They killed the envoys I sent?"
"Yes, General, they don't seem to want to compromise. We need to report to Archduke Simons quickly, otherwise it will be difficult for us to compete with them with the military strength on Coconut Island."
Heleus lowered his head in thought and handed the bow and arrow in his hand to the waiter behind him, "What you said makes sense, but this alliance must be participated by the Five Principalities. Even if my father knew that someone was coming to attack Coconut Island, he would not
We will bring back the elite soldiers from the alliance."
"We can only use our fleet to hold them back at the moment. If that doesn't work, we can ask other principalities for help."
"Our Sanfors Federation is different from other places. Our five principalities can fight and compete within themselves, but as long as other external forces appear, other principalities must stand on the same front as us, because only in this way can our five principalities last long.
existence."
Warren nodded and said: "It's the general. I will arrange envoys to go to the other four principalities to request their fleet support."
"However, the Tenglong Kingdom's fleet has entered our waters. We need to let our fleet attack to stop them and provide time for the fleets of other principalities to assemble."
Heleus pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "Never face a head-on collision with the Tenglong Kingdom's fleet. Their artillery is far away. In a large-scale battle, we will not be able to gain any advantage."
"Let the fleet disperse in small groups, use dragnet tactics to lure the Tenglong Kingdom's troops to disperse, and then defeat them one by one."
The last time he fought against the Tenglong Kingdom's fleet, Heleus was deeply impressed by the opponent's ferocious firepower and extremely long range. He knew that if there was a large-scale naval battle, his fleet would probably be completely wiped out.
It may not necessarily cause serious damage to the other party.
Coconut Island is shaped like a round island. The island is also rich in coconuts, which is an important source of income for the island residents.
There are coconut groves everywhere on the island, and in each coconut grove there are many residents harvesting mature coconuts, which will be preserved and then sent to the tables of various nobles in the Sanfors Federation.
The residents were working happily, when a large number of soldiers came running over. They were fully armed, holding bows, arrows and spears.
The residents were trembling with fear, and the movements of their hands stopped unconsciously.
An officer stepped forward and shouted: "This place has been expropriated. You go to the tax office to get your compensation."
All the residents looked at each other in shock and did not dare to resist the officer's order. They could only regretfully put down the coconuts they had collected and hurriedly moved towards the inner island.
When they turned around, they saw dozens of magic crystal cannons being pushed over. It was obvious that there was going to be a war now or in the future.
Haileus and the others thought that the Tenglong Kingdom would be scared away by their 200,000-strong army and would stay on their island trembling.
Because of the barbarian invasion, the Sanfors Federation once again united to form a coalition. Originally, it would be disbanded as long as the barbarians were eliminated.
But if another force invades, and it's from the civilized world, the nobles of Sanforth will be eager to use this as an excuse to march towards the Tenglong Kingdom.
Then all the fragmented Tas Republic will be included in the territory of the Sanvers Federation.
But before the Sanfors Federation can deal with the barbarians, the Silver Principality must fight to protect their territory.
The soldiers of the Silver Principality used coconut groves as cover and placed most of the magic crystal cannons in them.
They will cooperate with the attacking and harassing fleet to destroy the invading enemy.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the Tenglong Kingdom fleet.
On the sea, the Ming fleet moved unimpeded, and soon the outline of Coconut Island was seen.
It was not until this time that Chang Yuchun and others saw the fleet of the Baiyin Principality.
Zheng Zhilong stood next to Chang Yuchun and analyzed: "Your Excellency, according to our intelligence, we know that those priests who can summon sirens have been called by Archduke Simons to participate in the alliance."
"The remaining Silver Principality warships are no match for us at all. They will definitely have new tactics to block or defeat us."
He pointed at the fleet that was dispersed to the edge of Coconut Island, "If they disperse, they must be trying to lure us up. When the time comes to pursue them, we will also disperse our forces. At that time, they will concentrate their forces to destroy our ships. I
If they think they want to increase their firepower, they must also have defensive measures on the shore."
"Yeah." Chang Yuchun nodded, "What you said makes sense."
"We can send flying speedboats to conduct a reconnaissance first. Your defenses will be invisible under our detection."
"Yes, Governor." Zheng Zhilong slid the light screen in front of him and immediately arranged for a flying speedboat to take off.
A flying speedboat carried a Taoist priest and two border soldiers.
The role of the Taoist priest is to control the flying speedboat and use the Netherland for reconnaissance. Fire crow flying arrows are placed on the flying speedboat, and it can also conduct bombing operations against large targets.
The two frontier soldiers were the three-eyed gunmen in the fortress, but what they had in their hands now was no longer the three-eyed gunman, but a weapon that copied the Rat Man Gatling.
The Gatling ammunition of the Skaven is made of warpstone energy. Although the amount of ammunition is large, it is due to the Skaven's technology.
Their Gatling quality is poorer, the accuracy is not very high, especially if the barrel overheats, it can easily cause an explosion.
But after improvements made by the institute, such problems will no longer be a problem.
The Gatling style produced by the institute is similar to that of the Skaven, except that the ammunition is replaced by copper bullets. As for the energy ammunition, it is still under research, but good news will come soon.
Moreover, there are a large number of magic runes drawn on Gatling, which not only makes Gatling's shooting range longer, but also has higher stability. Even if it shoots continuously for three days and three nights, there will be no problem.
A heavily armed flying speedboat quickly came to the sky above Coconut Island and shuttled back and forth around the edge of the coast.
This situation soon became known to the Baiyin officers.
They responded quickly and sent out the Flying Eagle Knights.
The Eagle Knights are the most mainstream air force in the Sanforth Federation.
The specially trained flying eagle is huge in size, but can only ride one fully armed soldier.
Soldiers are equipped with hand crossbows and scimitars. They mainly perform long-range shooting and assist in flying eagle combat.
The main means of melee combat rely on the eagle's beak, sharp claws and wings.
Some highly talented flying eagles can also master the wind blade technique and whirlwind technique, becoming the aces of Sanforth's air force.
But in the Principality of Silver, due to the relationship between the Sirens, there are not many delicate soldiers like the Flying Eagle, and their mission is only reconnaissance.
This time the siren priests left, and Heleus had to rely on the few flying eagle troops.
Besides, the Tenglong Kingdom only sent one spaceship, right?
Under the general's order, 20 flying eagle knights quickly approached the reconnaissance flying speedboat.
Although this is just a simple mission for everyone, for every Eagle Warrior it is an action that reflects their collective honor.
They have been idle for too long. Although they are still held in high esteem, everyone thinks that they have actually lost their combat effectiveness and are just putting on a show and assisting in the Siren's investigation.
This time, they want to prove to everyone that they are not a vase, they are also the sharpest scimitars like other principalities.
