"Master, Willen's current situation is a bit embarrassing, especially in terms of infrastructure, Mu Lan is always stuck in our necks upstream, whether it is living materials or migrating people, they will always be troubled in every way, and there have even been many conflicts at sea in recent weeks, do you think you can return the color?"

As soon as he got into the carriage, Su Li began to frown and pour bitter water, and his grinning appearance was almost as if Mu Lan had an enmity with him, and he was eager to send an army to raze the other party immediately.

"Isn't there civil strife in Am? Why does Mu Lan still have the heart to trouble you? Could it be that you connived at those pirates to loot merchant ships and be discovered by the other party? Henry felt that this matter was a little strange, and asked with a puzzled face.

Normally, although there will be some competition and dirtiness between the two neighboring cities, most of the time they will not tear their faces, because there are too many dangers in this world, and God knows when they will need each other's help, so it is impossible to really kill them, at most it is to hit the economy, and now it is obviously beyond this limit.

He even wondered if the pirates at sea dressed in the skin of the kingdom's navy had gone too far and were accidentally discovered by the other party, otherwise Mu Lan would have reacted so violently.

Su Li rubbed his eyebrows, recalled for a few minutes, and then shook his head very solemnly: "Absolutely impossible!" It was strictly forbidden for me to do any looting ∴ while flying the naval flag, and that after each looting, all captives were sent to the Närainsel Islands for resettlement, where the looted merchant ships were to be reformed. Ultimately, the most important thing is that our pirate ship has never come close to the range of Moulins. So they will never find out. ”

"So how do you explain this anomaly? Could it be that they are full of food and have come to you for trouble? Or is it that some of your policies annoy the other side? Think back to everything that happened in the past few months. Maybe you're missing some important details. With that, Henry snuggled up to the backrest. Silent waiting.

There is no love without a reason in the world, and there is no hatred and hostility without a reason.

In his eyes, Mu Lan's actions were definitely forced, otherwise it would definitely be impossible to show his strength and influence like a fried cat.

You must know that since the end of the Battle of the Northern Floating City, countless countries have developed a certain fear of the nascent Kingdom of West Hartland, and even the Cormir Kingdom, which has always regarded itself very highly, has sent envoys, not to mention a port city.

Henry believed. If he goes to war with Mu Lan, then the six-member council will definitely not have the courage to send troops to the rescue, and will only choose to make the big things small and the small things small, and finally settle the dispute at the negotiating table, so there must be something particularly serious in it, and it must be clarified.

After thinking about it, Su Li didn't come up with anything suspicious, and just when he was at a loss, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "Oh my God! Probably because the pirates hijacked the ships that shipped gold, silver, and precious stones from Am's colony......"

Hear this. Henry's face suddenly changed, and he shouted in surprise, "What?!! Your men have robbed Am's gold ship?!!! ”

At this moment, his heart was like 10,000 alpacas galloping by. I don't know how to describe it.

It's like a group of children attacking an adult with a toothpick and a machete, and the adults are stabbed to death with a toothpick by a group of children.

Am's gold-carrying ships are world-famous, and every year a giant ship laden with gold, silver, and precious stones crosses the vast seas to transport millions of gold worth of goods to Ascatra or Moulins.

In order to prevent pirates from robbing, their routes and destinations will only be secretly handed over to the captain by the colonial governor himself when they are leaving, and the captain will only open and check when he is halfway through the voyage, and there are at least three hundred elite soldiers on the ship, five core guards composed of warriors, holy warriors and thieves above level ten, and there are also four masked mages, which can be said to be armed to the teeth, even if they fight with more than a dozen pirate ships at the same time.

Henry couldn't imagine how the pirates of the Nelanter Islands could have captured such a sea fortress, just the hull ten times or even twenty times larger than himself had already caused a huge difficulty in attacking, coupled with such a strong combat power, did this group of guys take the wrong medicine?!

He now seemed to understand why the other party reacted like this, because the destination of the gold ship this year was Mu Lan, and the masked mage on the gold ship must have seen something, and used teleportation magic to escape, reporting the matter to Mu Lan, and the various threatening actions they are making now are just to get their goods back.

Su Li, who realized that the situation was not good, did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly lowered his voice to explain: "Master, this is the case. A few days ago, we received information that a ship full of expensive cargo was passing through the Nrainthor Islands, which not only gave detailed information and ship information, but also an accurate departure time. ”

Speaking of this, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva: "I didn't think much about it at the time, and directly let about half of the pirate ships be dispatched to surround it, and the result of the battle was more tragic than expected, and in the end, although we won, we also lost ten large warships, twelve small and medium-sized warships, and more than 700 sailors were killed in the battle, and less than 100 pirates who survived were in a trance, and finally all of them were arranged by me in a secret base, including the golden ship, of course." ”

"More than 800 pirates have won the standard configuration of Am's gold ship!! In more detail, how did your men win? ”

Although the pirates' losses had been so heavy that they could not be repeated, in Henry's opinion, this victory was really not normal, because the combination of mages and high-level melee professionals was not an enemy that could be defeated by numbers alone, not to mention the three hundred Am's elite soldiers, even if they were all blessed with magic and divine skills, they would not be able to win.

Most of the Nerancer pirates have a class level of around level 3 and can be skilled enough to reach level 5, with only a few fierce captains possessing a level of 7 or 8 combat power. The weapons in the hands were mostly made of steel. Unable to pose much of a threat to heavily armored warriors. So in theory, the battle should have been a one-sided massacre, and the winner should undoubtedly belong to the Amkin ship.

"It's a bit strange to say, according to the description of the insane pirates, during the siege, a blood-red light suddenly appeared on the target ship, directly covering the sea surface for several kilometers, and they have forgotten about it since then. The mage's magic and the priest's magic seemed to have failed, and when he woke up, he was surrounded by mutilated corpses. I thought it was a bit weird, so I haven't touched anything on that ship until now. ”

As soon as he talked about this, Su Li's body began to tremble a little uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of fear. He thought it must have been a curse or some kind of evil magic, maybe the gold and gems in the cabin had been contaminated.

"A blood-red glow?" Henry instantly became a little interested. "Is this gold, silver, and gemstones freshly mined, or is it some kind of gold and silver vessel, statue, or something?"

Su Li thought about it for a moment and immediately replied, "Most of them are freshly mined gold and silver ingots, but a small part is handicrafts. As for the gemstones, they seem to have been polished for a certain period of time, and some of them are still stained with blood. If I'm not mistaken, it should have been snatched from the local aborigines. ”

As an Am, he knows very well what the so-called colony is, although on the surface it seems to be orderly, almost all people, including the mercenary group, abide by the law and order, but when he enters the wilderness, he will immediately turn into a robber and a villain, looting the weak tribes that are not strong, robbing their valuable goods, killing men, old people and children, and forcing young women, otherwise how could it be possible to transport back such a huge amount of wealth in just one year.

The plundering of lower civilizations by higher civilizations is always full of blood and cruelty, and sometimes the colonial governor will even order the garrison to participate in it, and the church of the god of guards, Haim, killed them in the Aztec continent, and that was also allowed by the Council of Six, otherwise they would not be so bold.

You must know that since DR 1361, as the first country to discover the continent of Aztec, Amm occupies the richest land in that land, and also has the most powerful power, all countries must rely on their snort to barely gain a foothold in the New World, otherwise a group of mercenaries of unknown origin will immediately kill and burn all the buildings.

In the attitude towards the colonies, the Council of Six completely put down all pretenses, and directly issued an order to scrape the ground, and the governor was forced to have no choice but to plunder the army, and then take those poor natives and throw them into the mines, and let them pan for gold and dig for gems day and night, and after they were exhausted, they were catching a batch, and so on.

"Well, I think there's a pretty powerful magic item in this batch of treasures, and maybe it's a curse item, so I'll check it out for myself when I leave. In addition, Mu Lan should have known about this matter, so his attitude changed greatly. But don't worry, just continue to cut off their maritime connection with Askatra, and leave nothing else. After a little consideration, Henry immediately gave instructions.

After finding the reason for the incident, he was no longer so nervous, and his whole person relaxed, not worried about being known by outsiders at all.

After all, Am's situation has eroded to this point, and it won't be long before Mu Lan will be defeated by the monster army, and no matter what evidence there is, it will be completely forgotten, and he is now more concerned about what it is that can make magic and magic not work.

Su Li obviously didn't understand this thought, and asked cautiously, "Are you sure?" If this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to your reputation. ”

"Reputation?" Henry pursed his lips disdainfully. "It's a great thing when you use it, but remember, don't let it hold you down. Do what needs to be done, and as for those gossips, you don't need to pay attention to them, not to mention that nothing will necessarily happen this time. ”

An unfathomable smile appeared on his face...... (To be continued......)
