"Very favorable conditions..." Qin Feng kept smiling on the surface, but kept complaining in his heart.
Have you reached such a precarious point?
To actually give all such huge profits to others?
Even mercenaries don't have such high profits!
Qin Feng already had a yardstick in his mind regarding the current poor state of Shell State Island.
"We can formally form an alliance now, and let us create glory together in the future." Qin Feng made the final conclusion.
"Do you need to stay for the dinner? We held a rare banquet today." Qin Feng added in his heart, this was held to celebrate the victory of the capital city of Doherty...
"No, Lord Governor, I just hope that you can come to our Shell Island as soon as possible and sign an alliance contract with our Admiral Wood."
Dennis stood up at this time and saluted: "We have prepared a banquet for you in Robe City. I hope you can arrive early."
"Mr. Messenger, when do you think it's best for me to set off?" Qin Feng asked tentatively.
Dennis hesitated for a while and then answered cautiously, "How about going today?"
Qin Feng's expression remained unchanged but he was startled in his heart. Is he already so impatient?
Is the current situation actually a little bad?
When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?
It seems that I have to leave as soon as possible...
"Okay, let's set off now." Qin Feng made a quick decision and prepared to go to Shell Island.
If the two forces want to fully cooperate, the leaders of the forces must sit down and have a discussion. Especially in the current crisis, in order to show friendship, either General Wood will come over or Qin Feng will go to see him.
In terms of the current power, Qin Feng is indeed on the weaker side, and the other party's loose alliance conditions do convey the meaning of friendship.
In addition, Shell Island is on the front line, and Admiral Wood needs to command the fleet at any time, so only Qin Feng went to see him.
"Let's go." Qin Feng stepped down from the throne.
Dennis was also confused, so he just left. What about the preparations before the army set off? What about the subsequent arrangements for the territory?
"You stay here, there are so many prisoners who need you." Qin Feng stopped Taoist Liu Yun from following him. With his current strength, he can influence more prisoners, and maybe he can become a master-level strongman with this.
Master-level warriors are the most important weapon of the country, and they can frighten the enemy and inspire the army.
As a big country, a master-level strong person is indispensable. Without a master-level strong person, it can only be regarded as a weak country, no matter how big the country's territory is.
There are many master-level experts in the Republic of Tas. Admiral Wood from Shell State Island is also a strong man at this level. This is why Shell State Island and the other three islands have been fighting for many years but have not been destroyed.
.
"Abel, you are responsible for continuing to manage the army in the royal capital." Qin Feng then said.
"Yes, Commander." Abel's face suddenly showed a proud expression.
"Let's go." Qin Feng patted Dennis on the shoulder, who was in a daze.
"Oh, oh, let's go... let's go..." Dennis then came back to his senses and followed Qin Feng out of the hall.
In order to maintain the strong military strength of the royal capital, Qin Feng left all the Ming troops behind, but he had to bring some troops to protect him when he wanted to go to Shellzhou Island. Now Shellzhou Island seems to be in some crisis. Now it is just a barrel of explosives. There is no danger.
Everywhere.
After much selection, Qin Feng finally took away only more than 2,000 members of the death camp. If there is a real crisis, they will be the best blocking and rearguard force.
Qin Feng didn't feel sorry for the loss of these death camps composed of bandits and prisoners.
Two days later, Qin Feng took the messenger Dennis aboard the fleet at the port of Bainiao Town.
Since all the Marines were moved to the Mouse Mountain area, the vacant position was just suitable for more than 2,000 members of the death battalion to be stationed.
The fleet on this mission is mainly Ming Dynasty warships. Their combat power is still very powerful. Once a situation arises, there will be no problem in protecting Qin Feng's return.
After four days of uneventful sailing, we successfully arrived at the port of Robei City in the north of Shell Island.
The port platform made of blue and white stone extends to dozens of miles. It is larger than the ports Qin Feng has seen before, but the goods on it are less than one-tenth, making it look extremely depressed.
This is due to the continuous wars for years, which has kept the economy of Shell State Island in a sluggish state, and also because of their other ally, a group of ferocious and greedy pirates.
Free and undisciplined guys cannot be restrained by military orders, so many pirates directly robbed the caravans that came to Shell Island for trade, causing the port's economy to become even more depressed.
Qin Feng jumped off the ship and stood on the port platform. He glanced around and saw that there was only a few people in the empty place to greet them. There were only 13 people in total.
A woman wearing black leather armor, with a cloak of the same color hanging behind her.
She has black hair, blue eyes, and a pretty face. From the exposed corner of her cloak, you can see a long whip as thick as a finger.
The others were obviously guards, all wearing blue armor, carrying square shields, and daggers hanging on their backs.
This appearance reminded Qin Feng of the Roman legions in Blue Star history.
"Lord Governor, this is Lord Betty, the lord of Zhubei City."
Messenger Dennis came to Qin Feng, and when the two waves of people met, he immediately introduced them.
"This is Lord Qin Feng, the lord of Doherty City..."
The woman named Betty glanced at Qin Feng up and down without any expression. She just said lightly, "Admiral Wood is waiting for you in Robe City."
After saying that, Betty turned around and left, mounted the horse on the side, flicked the reins and ran away without a trace.
Qin Feng, "..."
"Well... Lord Betty is like this to others, don't mind." Dennis smiled awkwardly at the side.
"Okay, I won't mind, considering she is a woman." Qin Feng shrugged, but felt a little unhappy.
More than 2,000 members of the death camp disembarked one after another, turning one side of the port platform red.
"Lord Governor, you are not going to send the troops in, are you..." Dennis looked at the members of the death camp gathering on the side with a worried look on his face.
"Isn't it possible? There aren't many people there?" Qin Feng turned to look at him calmly.
"Okay." Dennis wanted to open his mouth to say something, but in the end there was only a sigh.
"Let's go." Qin Feng said.
Proceeding along the port avenue, the guards here allowed him to pass smoothly under Dennis's explanation, and then passed through the streets and outer city walls and entered the island.
Passing several towns and villages, Qin Feng and others did not go in to disturb them, and only stayed in the wild.
On the way, Qin Feng kept making insinuations about the current situation of Shell Island, but the messenger Dennis always changed the topic and refused to say more.
"It seems that we still have to rely on ourselves."
In the middle of the journey, Qin Feng avoided Dennis and summoned three spies to leave, asking them to find out some information for Qin Feng.
However, after one day's march, Qin Feng and others arrived at the gate of Robei City.
Luobei City is famous for its shell meat. There is a kind of shell called Luobei that thrives in the nearby sea. Fishermen often go out to sea to catch them. They are both food and can be sold in exchange for other supplies.
In Robe City, almost all taverns and hotels will cook this kind of food. It once became one of the delicacies of the Republic of Tas. Because of it, Robe City was once very prosperous. But until the war began, this prosperity finally came to an end.
At the same time, Robei City is also the territory of Admiral Wood, commanding the other three cities on Shell State Island, namely Zhubei City, Fengbei City and Jiabei City.
At this time, the city gate opened wide, and a group of armored cavalry ran out of the gate.
Qin Feng looked around and saw that all the cavalry were wearing scale armor, holding spears in their hands, shields on their backs, and short swords on their waists.
The leading cavalry commander came to Daniel and shouted condescendingly: "Let them all station under the slope three miles away, and only let the lord enter alone."
"And you, go to the punishment center and accept the corresponding punishment yourself."
After finishing speaking, he stood aside and looked at Qin Feng and his party without dismounting.
The cavalry behind him separated Qin Feng's army from Luobei City with eager eyes, and also blocked the way for Qin Feng and others.
Qin Feng turned to look at Dennis...
He just sighed at this time, as if he didn't care anymore, and weakly called Qin Feng: "Master Governor, come with me."
Qin Feng nodded, then looked back at the armored cavalry of about 1,000 people, and understood clearly.
"Is this a demonstration against me or a dissatisfaction with me?"
"Did I misjudge the shape of Shell Island? They are not at the end of their rope yet, so they still have time to mess with me?"
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll take a good rest for a few days and wait until you can't wait any longer."
Qin Feng then led the death camp to the foot of a slope and set up camp.
The soil slope is only ten meters high, with a few green pines growing tenaciously on it, and the rest of the land is covered with earth and rocks.
On the left side of the slope is a forest, on the right is a plain, and you can vaguely see the outline of mountains in the distance.
In less than half a day, the camp was completed.
Standing at the entrance of the camp and looking at the pretty decent camp, Qin Feng muttered, "It's not bad, at least it can accommodate people."
Dennis, who had never left, came to Qin Feng at this time and said, "Master Governor, come with me to the city now. There will be food and wine prepared there for you to have a good rest in the evening. You can see Admiral Wood tomorrow.
.”
"Oh, should you let me go alone?" Qin Feng looked at him lightly.
"Yes, yes..." Dennis replied bravely.
"Then you go back first. I will stay here for a few days. When you have an attitude towards allies, come and invite me again." Qin Feng said the word 'ally' very seriously.
His ignorance made him feel a little unhappy.
Since I came to form an alliance as an ally, I was ignored several times and even vaguely threatened. It seemed that I was dissatisfied with the alliance and wanted me to retreat...
"It is really difficult to be a small and weak country. As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy..." Qin Feng had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and this time he experienced the sorrow of a weak country again.
"But even though I am a man of tens of thousands, I am not a vegetarian, but I will perish together."
Qin Feng came to the largest tent and slept peacefully, "Since they are not in a hurry, then I don't have to be in a hurry."
