“…………… So, you and the members of the general's guard were unwittingly in the Mermaid's Tears Bar, and then drunk with barrels by a large crowd of enthusiastic crew members, so that you didn't return to the councillor's hall until now, at 8 p.m.? In the office illuminated by the oil lamp, Sun Lin, who was holding a small red flag, looked at the captain of the Leo guard behind him with a strange face and said

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, I, I know that I am wrong! I promise that this will not happen next time, and I hope that His Excellency the General will give me a chance to atone for my sins, and I .......... that I will meet the messengers from the Duke of Purple Rose now, and I promise that I will not disgrace you once, I .................."

"Alright, alright! That's it, it seems that it is really necessary to recruit a diplomat................ hey, is it necessary for you to become like this as a big man? Like a crying one, like a defeated rooster, I didn't say you did anything wrong. ”

"But, but I'm not ............... you because I didn't go to meet the messenger of the Duke of Purple Rose."

"Me? What's wrong with me? Do you think that if I hadn't sent someone to meet the messenger of the Duke of Purple Rose, I would have lost my prestige? ”

"Uh............... Isn't it? Leo asked, standing on the side of the sand table.

"...................Well, if you had seen how the messenger begged me at my side the night, I guess you wouldn't have said that..............." Sun Lin pouted and said.

It turned out that although the envoy of the so-called Duke of Purple Rose before got off the ship and waited for half an hour, he found that there was not a person who would come to receive him as Blackbeard said before, and the angry Duke of Purple Rose's envoy did want to return to the ship and lead the fleet of the Duke of Purple Rose out of Port Royal, but because of the previous time when he got on the ship, the Duke of Purple Rose had asked him to find out how strong the specific strength of this mysterious force was when discussing trade issues with this mysterious force from the sea. So the messenger walked out of the port with a sigh of anger to check on the city of London, and in the course of the ensuing inquiry, the mood in the messenger's heart changed from anger to surprise, then from surprise to shock, and then to awe.

In later generations, there is a wild history that records the words of the envoy of the Duke of the Purple Rose after returning home: "When I thought that this unfamous kingdom could not become the trading partners of the great Duke of the Purple Rose, with the help of reason, I went into the main city of this kingdom by myself, and thanked the God in which I had recently come to faith!" I swear perhaps only the main city of the Ranster Empire can match it, with its wide streets without a trace of dust and looking exceptionally beautiful inside and out; Countless oil lamps are erected on both sides of the street, which shine like the sun in the evening, and the colorful roofs not only make the city look disorganized, but have an indescribable abstract beauty. What surprised me the most was that the inhabitants of this city were equipped with weapons, and the quality of those weapons was definitely as good as that of the average army of the Lancester Empire. If you add these weapons, as well as the light chain mail that can be bought for only 10 silver coins in the blacksmith shops that can be found everywhere on the streets, this kind of city will be able to instantly get more than 5,000 semi-professional troops, and its combat effectiveness will definitely not be lower than the first line within the empire, no! It should be said that it is the level of the 4th line troops, and I estimate that even if half of the troops on hand of the Duke are gathered, it will be equal to its number! It's just crazy! ”

(Here is a brief explanation of the front standard of the troops, the 1st line troops are the first troops to contact the enemy army, stronger than cannon fodder, but worse than regular troops, equivalent to militia troops, mercenary troops; 2nd line troops, generally in the 1st line of troops after the enemy will join the battlefield, these troops generally have a number, equivalent to professional troops, the most outstanding representative is the medieval 2 total war in the foot feudal knights; The 3rd line is the last line, which is generally the position of the elite troops and commanders of various countries, just like the Swiss Guard, the Sultan Janissaries, and the Sherwood Archers in the Total War of the Middle Ages 2; The 4th line troops are reserve corps, which are generally composed of militia units and semi-professional troops; The 5th line is a logistics unit, which generally does not participate in the war)

Of course, there were many more things that could really make this envoy conquer the city, such as the ubiquitous luxury shops, a huge granary located in the city of London, and the facilities in the city walls that were developed for outsiders to visit for free. The combination of what he had seen and heard made the envoy determined to trade with this mysterious force, because the resources possessed by these mysterious forces were all materials that the Duke of Purple Rose urgently needed at the moment. As a result, it happened that the envoy cried and shouted in the councillor's hall and hoped that Sun Lin would trade with them, and then after signing a lot of agreements, the envoy left Sun Lin's office with a spring breeze on his face, it is estimated that the envoy will wake up with a smile after falling asleep tonight, of course, Sun Lin doesn't care about this kind of thing now, because there is a more important matter that he needs to solve.

"Through the mouth of the envoy, we learned that the current force we are in contact with is an empire called Lancet, of course, it is not so much an empire, but a garbage empire composed of several dukes and counts, which is so much that I want to .......... with the HRE Well, after the feedback of this envoy, we have been convinced that the islands between the King Continent and the New Delhi Peninsula are not occupied, so I think our next goal is to consolidate the construction of the New Delhi Peninsula first, Then use the castle to plan all those islands under the banner of the Sunset Empire, nominally we will maintain trade with the Lancester Empire first, but secretly we will break the intelligence network into the interior of this empire, and if necessary, I think we can send a few priests to the Lancester Empire to preach, this is what we will do in the next half a year, Bobby, do you definitely have anything to add? After comforting Leo and sending Leo away, Sun Lin asked Bobby who came in later while planting the flag on the positions of the islands in the sand table.

"I agree with this plan, but ............ What about those orcs deep in the desert? It's not winter yet, and I guess the orcs are coming. ”

“………………… Let's say, it's a big deal to use those merchants when the time comes. ”
