Power and Empire Chapter 3222: Begonia City
.
The setting sun of the sunset canyon shines on the cliff wall that connects the sea, like a ball of dye that dyes everything red, dyeing everything it irradiates with a layer of red, an imperial merchant ship slowly sails into the sunset canyon The relatively narrow entrance to the pier, this is the third imperial merchant ship to arrive at Sunset Canyon today,
The merchant ship steadily anchored on the temporary pier. After a circle of water ripples, the merchant ship’s baffle was lowered from above
At the location of the dock, a middle-aged man wearing the costume of the Eero nobleman is standing there. A dozen large boxes are placed horizontally under the feet of the middle-aged man. One of the boxes has been opened and the inside is full of yellow. Looking at the imperial merchant who was impatiently disembarking in the distance, the orange-orange empire gold coin, the middle-aged nobleman of Eero flashed his eyes, took a list from the servant behind him, and compared it carefully. The corners of his mouth were cold. I glanced at it. It’s not wrong. The Anji Merchant Ship of the Deer Helmet Chamber of Commerce, and seeing that the hull has reached the limit of the waterline, you can know that the cargo on it is very heavy, except for the more than 3,000 sold to Eero. Set of imperial weapons, what else can they be? These imperial merchants really regard money as their fate. As long as they give enough benefits, they will come like moths to the fire even if they know that there is danger. It may also be the power of the empire. Because of the arrogant confidence of these imperial businessmen," Sir, is it really okay to do this? So many imperial businessmen and sailors are missing. Those chambers of commerce that have signed contracts with us will inevitably find the imperial side. At that time, we will How to explain this? "Beside the middle-aged Eero nobleman, the handsome young adjutant looked at the Imperial Merchant Ship in the distance, his face was full of worry
"Why explain? It is not us who signed the contract"
The middle-aged man glanced at the corner of his mouth with disdain. Oubaro has a saying that arrogance must pay the price. The empire believes that it is strong enough to despise the entire Obaro, but it does not mean that the imperial merchants can Going sideways anywhere, the last time I was killed by the tens of thousands of warriors due to the counterfeit ordnance incident, shouldn’t we get back this account! Don’t forget that the person who signed this contract is Nikitek, and the news of Niketek from the Eero royal family will be announced as soon as we return to Eero. In this case, it has nothing to do with us. And no one can prove that these merchant ships and cargo finally arrived at Eero." "Do you know why the pick-up location was chosen at Sunset Canyon? "The voice of the middle-aged person paused
"Because it's hidden enough here," the adjutant guessed.
"Hiddenness is only one of the reasons. Another reason you should be able to think of is where is the east side of the sunset canyon?" The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a sly luster, and he raised his hand to execute the east side of the canyon mouth. , The corner of his mouth smiled. "The scum of the Eero royal family, Prince Nikatek, colluded with the Liafa pirates in Haitang Bay, using his royal family status to defraud the imperial merchants and signing false terms. After the incident was revealed, he instructed the Liafa pirates to rob and slaughter the Imperial merchant ships. Due to the obligation of the alliance with the empire, Erot sent troops to destroy Haitang Bay, and Nikateke fled and disappeared. What do you think of this news?"
Sunset Canyon is located at the end of the eastern section of the Eero coastline. It has always been a habitat for the Liafa pirates. It was not until the Imperial Navy rectified the inland waters that the Liafa pirates were hit hard. The Sunset Canyon was recovered, but in the hearts of the Eero people, the Sunset Canyon is actually the same concept as the pirate den
"My lord means Haitang Bay!"
The adjutant seemed to have thought of something, his body trembled slightly, and his voice could not help but forgot that Haitang Bay was once the Liafa pirate base camp
In this case, it is quite clever to set the pick-up location at Sunset Canyon. It is no wonder that Lord Marquis is not at all worried about the reaction of the empire. It turned out to have been prepared long ago. The Imperial Chamber of Commerce has killed so many people and disappeared this time. There are more than a dozen merchant ships, as well as valuable cargo on the merchant ships, which can logically be planted on the Liafa people in Haitang Bay
"Don't forget, there are 8,000 people from the Third Army who came with us this time. What do you think they are here for?" The middle-aged nobleman snorted, "The entire Inland Sea area knows Pirates are rampant in Liafa, and even Grand Duke Liafa himself is one of the largest pirates in the inland waters. He doesn’t know how much he has robbed and how many people have been killed. These dozens of merchant ships and thousands of lives can be counted. , I think that the most sensational time in the inland sea by the Leafa was when it intercepted a navy transport fleet of the Fei Shan Navy, not only looted more than 30 naval transport ships, but also killed more than 2,000 Fei Shan sailors. It even led to the death of a member of the Feshan royal family, and eventually led Feshan’s navy to storm Haitang Bay. Instead, the Liafa pirates used tactics to lure the enemy into deep, which severely damaged Feshan’s navy flagship. In the end, during that battle, the Liafa pirates were well-known throughout the inland waters. When the Liafa pirates were at their peak, they once had 8,000 sailors and more than 60 large and small warships. They were like the embryonic form of a small sea country." Liafa people Seeing the imperial merchant ship's desire for wealth, he killed the sailors on more than a dozen imperial merchant ships and ransacked all his belongings. After that, Eero dispatched a large army to wipe out Haitang Bay. With a little arrangement, he can completely take the blame for attacking the imperial merchant ship. Pushed to the head of Liafa, such a meticulous plan, I don't know whose handwriting came from? "The adjutant has already admired the five bodies in his heart for the person who made the plan. If you want to ask who made the plan, the middle-aged people avoided it. The adjutant would never have thought that the person who made the plan was already dead. Nikiteke himself has been a pirate for so many years, and the merchant ship cargo intercepted is innumerable. The Liafarian dragged all these properties into Haitang Bay. Since the country is so short of money, there is a Haitang Bay not to be hit. Isn’t it a pity? Anyway, this time they have to be in the wrong hands. Fortunately, they have been thoroughly used once. Haitang Bay, as the base camp of Liafa pirates, has rapidly developed from a dilapidated small fishing village to a prosperous small town, as well as the inland sea area. It’s notorious that even if we sent troops to wipe out Haitang Bay, no one would say anything. "What's more, according to the conservative estimate of the people we mingled in, the wealth of the Liafa people in Haitang Bay is at least two points." It’s not good, Eero. An army of people is coming towards Haitang City. "Are you sure you are not mistaken! The Erotians actually came to attack Haitang City?"
Grand Duke Liafaye looked shocked, scouts the cavalry like a boulder hitting the water, immediately rippling countless waves, because of the relationship between the Erotians and the war of the sect, they are already overwhelmed, if Not so many people have heard it, and Grand Duke Ryafaye must wonder if he heard it wrong." It’s okay. The Erot Army dispatched light cavalry this time, as well as a large number of heavy infantry. The assembled siege equipment came directly in the direction of Haitang City. Please prepare quickly!" The scout cavalry said with a pale face, and the surroundings have completely calmed down. Only countless torches are making noises in the night wind, such as The wind shocked everyone's hearts. "What the **** do you want to do!" Liafaye punched the wooden pole with angrily, and screamed at the Liafa warrior below. "Have you heard it, Egypt? The Luo people want to attack Haitang Bay and attack your home. You said, what should we do? "Kill them all!
"Kill them all!" Voices one after another, countless weapons were raised high
The long horn of "Woo" pierced the darkness of the night sky, just like the unyielding cry of the whole Haitang City
"What's the matter? How could there be a mass horn in Haitang City?" In the darkness, a general Eero in armor stopped the horse abruptly, his eyebrows slightly raised his head to look forward and he could see The outline of Haitang City. Behind him, countless Erot soldiers have filled the land behind him. The light cavalry team quickly passed by from the flanks, rushing to the front where the horns sounded, only seeing patches of iron helmets undulating. The long tail on the iron helmet is surging, and the rows of spears are like forests,
The sound of the horn of Haitang City changed again, three times. The empty city wall was already full of people at this moment. Rows of bows were opened. By the light on the top of the city, Leah could be seen vaguely. The style of corporate armor, one on the front, one on the back, better with patches on the top of the leather ~ IndoMTL.com~ Most of them are hard leather armor, and there is no skirt and leg armor on the lower body.
At this moment, the forefront cavalry of the two sides have come into contact. After discovering that they can no longer hide the effect of a surprise attack, the Erot army saw that it was no longer evasive, and saw the light cavalry behind.
The Eero infantry of the brigade is in a forward formation. There are about two hundred people in each team. They come from the mountains and forests in the distance. The sound of footsteps is like a roar of layers and pounces on Haitang City. , The unclear number, there are only flaming torches, coming in clusters, "The Eero people are really moving!" "The Eero people are going to destroy Haitang City!" "Fight, fight with them!" Above Haitang City, the voices of Liafa people came and went one after another. Liafa people were good at fighting, but the nature of the pirates was extremely poor in military discipline. I couldn’t see it before, but now it’s clear at a glance. It’s completely disobedient. Dignified, fingers tightly holding the handle of the long knife, generations of fishermen in Leafa, good at naval warfare but not good at land warfare, and Haitang City was built as a coastal defense city when it was built, and the Erot Empire was a land. A powerful country, all arms are equipped for land warfare. This time it is even more prepared. Compared with the two, my own side is rushed to fight, and the equipment, training, courage, and tactics are quite insufficient. The most serious thing that made Liafaye felt was that when the Erotians were trapped in the capital, they even deployed such a force to attack Haitang City. What is it for! Except for those imperial merchant ships that disappeared, I'm afraid it's not that simple!
