Chapter 74: Two Towns in Hand

"Wait! I have something to say! As a slightly jerky English voice came out of the mouth of the old man in the crowd, all the members of the Purple Rose family, who had been slightly disturbed, fell silent. This also includes the decadent-looking middle-aged fat man, who is the Duke of Purple Rose of this generation.

"You......... Can you understand Chinese? Sun Lin, who was interrupted, not only did not get angry, but looked at the old man in the crowd with a surprised face, his expression full of shock. That's right, in terms of national language, the language used in the Sun Never Sets Empire is pure British English, the reason for this decision is not only because English is the mother tongue of the Sun Never Set Empire, and English is very similar to the lingua franca used by all ethnic groups in the King Continent, which will help trade diplomacy and other aspects to a certain extent, but this does not mean that English is the only language in the Sun Never Set Empire, on the contrary, in order to ensure that there will be no "disaster from the mouth", in the sun does not set high-level, They usually use Chinese to converse, but they also use Chinese when necessary for other directives, internal policies, spy conversations, etc., although Chinese is relatively difficult for the British to learn, but it has to be done for the sake of secrecy. But since Sun Lin decided to use Chinese for confidential conversations at the top level, this also means that it is reasonable in this world; There should be no such language and pronunciation as Chinese, which is why Sun Lin was so shocked when he found out that this old man in the armor could understand Chinese.

"Hehe, this ............ Since most of my body is engaged in maritime trade, and I have met merchants from all over the King Continent, I have practiced the skill of listening to voices and discerning meanings over time, and I can roughly tell what you mean from the gestures and tones you bring when you pronounce them. The old man said unhurriedly, as if he had not been arrested at this time, but was talking to his trading partner in the meeting room.

"Oh? Listen to the sound? That's a great trick! So can you tell who I am by now with this little trick of yours? If what you say is close to the answer, I might consider not killing you. Speaking fluent Chinese from his mouth, Sun Lin looked at the old man in front of him with a playful look on his hand on crutches and slowly walked out of the members of the Purple Rose family step by step, although his temples had already turned white, and his face had left countless traces of time, but the unique purple pupils became brighter and brighter with time.

"Hehehehe............... This is really stumping the old man! I don't know what you're talking about, but it seems that you want me to answer a question, since you want to ask me............ Young ruler of the Empire, I think you should speak in the English spoken in your country, although I have not established diplomatic relations with you for more than a year, I am still very interested in the language of a mysterious and powerful empire. ”

"......................Okay, then I'll use English. Tell me, how did you tell that these people who attacked the city of Maradoga were the Empire on which the sun never sets, you must know that in this battle, you and the members of the Purple Rose family behind you have only seen the Naga Foreign Legion soldiers, but not the soldiers of the Empire, and now neither I nor the generals and soldiers behind me are wearing robes or armor printed with the representative patterns of the Empire on which the sun never sets, nor are they conversing in English in front of you, let alone raising the Three Lions Banner of the Empire. Sun Lin asked suspiciously.

"The main battle in the northwest continent is mountain infantry and elite spearmen, even if it is the other empires around the Lancester Empire, and the more than 10 elite knights in front of you will not be cultivated by the empires, and it is rumored that only the rich and oily London city on the other side of the sea, because it is located in a flat plain, can form a knight force like this, this is one of them; Second, I have lived in the Northwest Continent for so many years, and I still know the situation of various countries, and there is no empire in the Northwest Continent that has developed a navy, and those kingdoms that live on the sea have extremely poor naval strength, so it is impossible for any human imperial kingdom in the Northwest Continent to command the army composed of sea monsters, and it is difficult to say that the mysterious empire that is located on the other side of the sea is not set. ”

“…………… Well, although your answer is far-fetched, the credibility is okay, so ............. believe what you say, so change the subject, what do you have a heart-warming proposal that will make me not kill you. ”

"I can make the other two central towns in my realm surrender to the sun at once! I can also guarantee that after surrendering, there will be no riots or anything like that. ”

"Great proposal, but a bit outdated. Think about how far the city of Maradoga is from those two central cities; And think about it again, since my troops can directly take the city of Maradoga in just about two hours, how much time will my other two troops spend to take down two towns whose defense is less than one-tenth of the city of Maradoga? And as you just said, since the great empire on which the sun never sets can form cavalry, how much time will it take to clear the rogues around Maradoga with the movement speed of the cavalry troops? ”

............At this moment, a commercial horseback militia suddenly ran out of the corner of a street in the distance, and quickly rushed to Sun Lin's body, saluted and handed a roll of paper to Sun Lin's hand and said: "Your Majesty Sun Lin, the two troops assigned have arrived in Sak Town and Portorodo Town to alternate with cavalry troops, and now they have begun to implement the siege, it is expected that in 2 to 3 hours, the two towns will be captured, and the cavalry troops led by the Captain of the Leo Guard have also begun to enter the forest area, Wipe out the bandits that have incorporated its inhabitants from all over the country, and this is the war report that Captain Leo Guard asked me to bring to you. ”

"Hmmm! If you do a good job, then you can go down and rest for a while. After seeing the commercial horseback militia leading the horse and leaving his sight, Sun Lin turned around and said to the old man in front of him with a smile: "Look, I'm right, so do you have anything else to say now?" If not, prepare and go to Alcatraz Island for the rest of the day. ”

“……………… If you win, then if I hand over all the treasures that the Purple Rose family has collected over the past hundred years to you, will you be able to spare us? ”

"Who are you?"

"The 11th Duke of Purple Rose - Ansdor. Madeira. ”
