Chapter 252: The Decision of the Governor of Trenchland, Ye Xianggao's Rage
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Minos, you really didn't lie to me?"
The Trench Governor, Moyes, widened his eyes, looked at a junior officer in front of him, and asked again and again with an expression of disbelief.
He really couldn't believe that one of the two fleets under his command was completely gone?
"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor."
Minos, an officer of the Grand Fleet who had managed to escape back to the trench after jumping into the sea with great difficulty, said dejectedly, "The man and the eagle we met on Lingshan Island were too powerful. We couldn't stop their attack at all!"
"When the enemy launched a surprise attack, they took advantage of the opportunity and destroyed our treasure fleet. In a hurry, Colonel Nasri was not mentally prepared enough. In addition, the incident happened suddenly. When he rushed to the big dock to reinforce, he was instantly hunted down by the level 5 peak spirit bird!"
"Not only Colonel Nasri, all the Qi Refining Realm masters on our trip were quickly killed by that Level 5 Spirit Bird!"
"If everyone hadn't rushed to the beach and jumped into the sea to save their lives immediately after the collapse, none of us would have been able to come back alive to report the news."
Until now, Minos, the grassroots officer, was still pale and obviously frightened.
"Snapped!"
Moyes was so angry that he was shaking all over. He threw the magic wand in his hand and smashed a fine porcelain vase in front of him. He cursed, "Damn Nasri! Damn level 5 spirit bird!"
"Nasri died so easily, but where is my great fleet?"
"That's a large fleet with one top-grade treasure ship, six upper-grade treasure ships, and more than twenty mid-grade treasure ships!"
"In my entire Governor's Office, there are only two fleets of this level! How can they be described as priceless?"
Moyes was not sad about the loss of those soldiers, but was heartbroken about the loss of such a huge fleet!
"No!"
"There are so many magic cores of various levels on the ship! And so many psychic cannons and psychic crossbow carts!"
"This is definitely a trap! It's a trap set up by the Ye family in Fuqing, targeting everyone!"
He was roaring and raging with rage.
"Um... Your Excellency Governor, the Ye family is not much better than us. The pirate team they raised was completely wiped out, including the pirate leader, who was killed by a single blow from that level 5 spirit bird!"
"And the second young master of the Ye family would have been killed if he hadn't run fast."
"So, from what we saw with our own eyes, the Ye family is also a victim. Not only did they lose a very good island base, they also lost a fleet of treasure ships. There are nearly 20 treasure ships, including a top-grade treasure ship!"
This grassroots officer was an honest man who spoke the truth and had no intention of asking the Ye family to take the blame.
Anyway, the truth of the matter can be easily found out.
Well, except for the attacking strong enemy and the big golden eagle.
There was no way out. The opponent was too vicious and powerful. We collapsed before we even saw the opponent.
"Whoosh..."
Moyes was so angry that he was gasping for air. It took him a while to calm down. "This treasure fleet in the trench has encountered such a big problem now. How can I explain it to the king and the cabinet?"
"The lost fleet is not my personal one, but the kingdom's!"
"With such a huge loss, even if I use all my family's assets to pay off the debt, it still won't be enough to compensate!"
I will be stepping down next year and returning to my post in the kingdom. I did not expect that such a huge mistake would occur at this critical moment, during my tenure!
Moyes is really going to be pissed off!
Not only was I anxious and angry, but my heart was also in a mess.
Being in a high position, he didn't want to be sent to the gallows by the angry king.
Over the years, Portugal has been declining and has been rapidly overtaken by the Dutch and the Spanish. Even the English have surpassed them.
There are only five large fleets of this level in the whole of Portugal, but they lost one of them. Once the news gets back, it will surely cause an uproar in the country!
To put it bluntly, the lost fleet, plus the three million magic cores of various levels on board, would be enough to fight a naval battle with the aggressive Dutch!
Moreover, even if we cannot defeat the Dutch, we will not be completely wiped out!
"No!"
"I will take revenge immediately! Take back that large fleet!"
Moyes yelled hysterically, "We in Haojing are not strong enough, but don't we still have the Ye family?"
"With the Ye family's financial and military power, since they have suffered such a huge loss, there is no way they would not think of revenge!"
"Minos, go contact the Ye family's representative in the trench and tell them that if the Ye family can help me eliminate the enemies on Lingshan Island and let us take back the fleet, I will agree to their request and use the fleet to transport a thousand Arabian dragon horses to them!"
"No! Two thousand!"
In order to take back the large fleet, Moyes was almost driven crazy. He raised the price on his own and increased the number of Arabian Dragon Horses that the Ye family requested to trade to two thousand!
Of course, these dragon horses used for trading are all foals.
This is normal. An adult magic dragon horse is at least a level 4 early stage spirit beast warhorse and is difficult to tame.
Moreover, with so many adult dragon horses, they would be a powerful fighting force wherever they were placed, and no family would be so extravagant as to use them to trade with outsiders.
Throughout the vast Arabian region, although dragon horses are relatively common, there are not many of them.
It is estimated that the total number of all the Arabian dragon horses in the world would not exceed 100,000.
More than half of them were controlled by the East India Company.
As for Europe, there is also a high-quality spiritual beast mount that is no worse than the magic dragon horse.
A unicorn horse of light that is said to be a representative of holiness.
That is a spiritual beast warhorse that is no inferior to the dragon scale horse or the magic dragon horse.
Moreover, the Unicorn Horse of Light has an excellent appearance and is extremely precious. It is even known as the official warhorse of the three major knightly orders of the Holy See of Light.
In today's world, the most powerful force in the Western world does not belong to any one country, but to the Holy See of Light.
The Holy See of Light has three major knight legions: the Legion of Light Judgment, the Legion of Light Judgement, and the Legion of the Holy Maiden of Light.
The soldiers of each legion are formed by the Holy See of Light, which selects talented young men and women from all the white and barbarian countries in the West every year and trains them vigorously.
Even the Knight of Light with the worst cultivation level has reached the peak of the Body Refining Realm, accounting for about 70% of the soldiers in each knightly order. The remaining 30% of the Knights of Light are all masters of the Qi Refining Realm!
The three major knightly orders of the Holy See of Light do not have many people, and each order always maintains a strength of 10,000 people.
Of course, this does not include the large number of reserve knights of light. After all, the Holy See of Light selects talented young men and women from various Western countries every year to train them vigorously. There are at least 100,000 reserve knights in reserve all year round.
This is the power structure of the Western world, which is the biggest difference from Li Dingguo’s previous life.
In this big world, the Pope of Light is the true ruler of Western white people, the real emperor, and his power is limitless!
Moreover, the Western family is not only a top force, but also a dark church.
This dark church is composed of vampires.
They are the sworn enemies of the Holy See of Light, with completely opposite doctrines. Although their strength is not as strong as that of the Holy See of Light, it is not much different.
In this big world, although Western countries often wage war against each other, the pattern of war is within the framework set by the two major churches.
With these rules and regulations in place, no Western white barbarian country was truly destroyed. Surrender was very popular among the defeated side, and prisoners would be treated preferentially and would not be killed.
At most, after being defeated in a war, the country would have to cede territory and pay compensation, and prisoners could also be redeemed with money and supplies.
Therefore, the wars among countries in the Western world seem like playing house to the various forces in the Eastern world. After the war, a compensation treaty is signed, and everyone is happy again, and they do not take it seriously at all.
There are several bright unicorn war horses in Moyes's governor's palace. They are so precious that he usually doesn't even let others touch them.
Moyes agreed to the deal with the Ye family for so many magic dragon horses, which actually violated the unspoken rules of the West.
After all, unless they are stupid, Westerners will not trade such strategic resources to Orientals on a large scale.
This is greatly detrimental to the development plan of the white Hu people in the West.
Normally, trading dozens or hundreds of Arabian magic dragon horses in small quantities is not a big deal, as long as the other party is not allowed to form a large-scale magic dragon horse cavalry corps.
After all, in the Western world, money is everything, and people are willing to sell their souls to the devil for the sake of profit.
However, if so many magic dragon horses were sold to the Orientals, it would not be in the long-term interests of the white and barbarian countries, and would create many variables for their plans to colonize the world.
Especially the Ming Empire, which was too large, with a total population almost comparable to that of the entire Europe. Once a wise monarch came to power and stimulated the country's development potential, it would undoubtedly be bad news for the entire Western world.
In addition, the unique cultivation system within the Ming Dynasty is even more complete than that in Europe. If it is truly developed steadily, it will be enough to crush all the white barbarians in Europe.
However, Moyes now only wants to recover his losses and avoid punishment from the king and parliament, and he doesn't care about so much.
With the network of relationships he had built up over the years, it would not be difficult for him to secretly obtain two thousand dragon horse foals.
Moreover, he could earn a large sum of money through this big deal with the Ye family in Fuqing, and then return to China to enjoy his life after his term is over next year.
As for the mess left to his successor?
Well, all officials in the entire Western world are corrupt, and his successor is probably even greedier than him. How could he bother to get to the bottom of it?
"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor."
Although this Minos officer was not a master of the Qi Refining Realm, he was Moyes' most trusted and trusted subordinate. Upon hearing this, his eyes lit up and he quickly saluted respectfully and accepted the order.
Minos knew very well that as long as this big deal was completed, not only would the Governor make a fortune, but he would also benefit a lot.
He swept away his previous dejection, excitedly took his leave from the Governor, quickly left the Governor's Mansion, and strode towards the office set up by the Ye family in Haojing not far away.
……
"Snapped!"
"You loser!"
Ye Xianggao, who was unemployed at home, became furious after hearing the report from his second grandson Ye Guodong who had fled back to his hometown in Fuqing in a panic. He stood up and slapped his obedient grandson in the face, knocking him to the ground.
Although Ye Xianggao looks old and frail, he is a great master who is in the middle fifth level of martial arts and his fighting ability is quite good.
He is not yet eighty years old this year and can be said to be still in good health.
After all, under normal circumstances, a master of the Qi Refining Realm can live to be 180 years old, so Ye Xianggao is not very old now.
"You are so lucky to be called the pride of our Ye family. This time you have completely disgraced me!"
"Wouldn't you be more vigilant, arrange for good guards, respond as soon as possible, organize the servants and guards, and form a formation to meet the enemy?"
He pointed at his most beloved grandson Ye Guodong and cursed him, "Our Ye family's servants and guards have all practiced military formations. Even if we can't arrange a qualified military killing formation, we have no shortage of ordinary military formations. With you, a master of the early fifth level of martial arts, as the commander, you can completely block the attack of a peak fifth level spirit bird!"
"Jia Shuisheng is a waste, unworthy of being reused, and the culprit of this great change. Are you, Ye Guodong, also a waste?"
"call……"
"I'm so angry!"
He was so angry that his old face turned red and he was gasping for air.
Over the past few decades, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty dared to disrespect Ye Xianggao, and everything had been going smoothly for him.
Who would have thought that not only would they be severely slapped in the face, but they would also lose a large family fleet and a very important sea base.
Although this loss is nothing to the huge Ye family, let alone any serious damage.
But he was not happy at all. How could he endure such a great humiliation?
Once some of his sworn enemies get to know this funny-sounding incident, who knows what they will say about Ye Xianggao behind his back!
Where can I put my old face?
The manpower, materials and money lost this time are not a big deal, but it is a big matter of face.
This was also the main reason why he was so angry.
Ye Guodong, one of the family heirs whom he had spent a lot of effort to train and who was known as one of the two geniuses of the family, has now made such a big mistake, which has disappointed him greatly.
"grandfather!"
Ye Guodong said unconvincedly, "It was mainly because of that mysterious enemy, who was too insidious and cunning. Even the Later Jin soldiers led by Yue Tuo, who had so much experience in war, collapsed and fled in an instant! And such a huge white Hu fleet also suffered a great loss. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but the remaining people were still forced to jump into the sea to escape!"
"This time it was not our fault. It was mainly because the enemy chose the right time to launch a surprise attack. It was completely beyond the expectations of our three forces."
This unexpected turn of events really caught me off guard. Is it all my fault?
Could it be that Yuetuo, leader of the Red Banner of the Later Jin, and that large fleet of white Hu people are also vegetarians?
It's still the same situation.
Under the circumstances at that time, no one could do anything.
If Ye Xianggao himself were present, he would suffer the same loss.
To be honest, it’s really not Ye Guodong’s fault this time.
Under the circumstances at that time, anyone who encountered this would suffer a great loss unless there was a strong man with the peak level five cultivation on the scene.
Therefore, Ye Guodong felt that his tragic experience this time was even more unfair than that of Dou E.
