Chapter 1002: Operation Purifying the Sea
Initial contacts went more smoothly than the two sides initially envisioned.
What the Eternal Night Warlord seeks in the East African Islands is a safe and equal right to trade, and there is not much demand for the territory of the East African Islands at present, so naturally it will not threaten the dominance of the Bronze Dragon.
The turmoil in the East African Islands was not caused by the fleet of the Eternal Night, but by the pirates of the defeated East China Sea State and the Third Fleet of the Cummins Family, which absorbed the rogue pirates from the mainland.
Although there is the instigation and acquiescence of the Eternal Night Commander behind this.
When it came to the negotiation table, the Eternal Night Army Leader did not admit that he had the slightest involvement with them, but complained that the situation on the mainland in the past few years was too chaotic and he didn't have the energy to take care of this side, and now he barely took out a little energy to figure out the situation here.
In order to prove his innocence, the Eternal Night Warlord did not hesitate to promise to cooperate with the Bronze Dragons to uproot these pirates from the East China Sea.
It's not a verbal promise, it's a practical act on the spot.
Sean, the lord of the Eternal Night Army, had just reached a consensus with the emissary team of the Golden Continent led by the Great Elder of the Bronze Dragon, Hobert, and put it into action three days later.
At Sean's command, the ships belonging to the Eternal Night Army, whether armed merchant ships or warships, all converged towards his designated location.
The situation in the East China Sea has been unstable, and the officials and merchants of the Eternal Night Army have not been completely separated.
When not using force, warships also act as frigates for merchant ships.
When force is used, even those merchant ships that transport goods can charge into battle for naval battles.
Usually they are distributed in the vast sea, and they don't feel much yet, but when most of them are gathered, people feel the weight of it.
In just three days, there were more than 3,000 warships and warships in response to Sean's call, and it was not difficult for merchant warships to arrive in a steady stream every day, breaking through more than 5,000.
"The young lord of the Eternal Night is really generous, just this order can show his determination, he is preparing to launch a real sea purification operation in the surrounding waters, and wipe out all the warships and warships that do not belong to them here!" Bradlick sighed heartily, sitting on the back of a two-legged wyvern.
Bradlik is a pure-blooded Sun Elf, with the most typical Sun Elf appearance, blonde hair as dazzling as the sun, skin as white as winter snow, tall and tall, but slender, with a slender elf stabbing sword around his waist, which is known to be an ornament at a glance.
But the powerful magic fluctuations emanating from his body were impossible to take lightly.
The Sun Elves have never been known for being warriors, and the powerful elementals of the Elves are often made of them.
He was personally appointed by the Elven King and represented the Elven envoy.
"They already have such ability, but they have been slow to take action, do you still think they are innocent? They are doing this in front of us, even fools can see that they are showing off their strength!" "Grand Elder Hobart squirted a heavy dragon breath, and said in a strange way.
"Trouble the Great Elder to control his dragon power, if this continues, these mounts of ours will have to be scared to death by you!" Bradlik urged the elemental power, calming the restless bipedal Wyvern mount, while saying to the angry Great Elder Hobert, "The Great Elder's words have an obvious paranoid flavor, if it weren't for the Great Elder coming in person, would they dare to make such a big move here casually?"
If that's the case, the children in your breeding area are afraid that they will blow up the pot first and have a full deal with them.
The element of showing off force cannot be ruled out, but this is an inevitable process of contact between two forces that do not know the root and the bottom.
Don't tell me, Great Elder, on the way here, didn't you go straight to the Ashan Continent, meet with Lord Sean, and make a special trip to the breeding area, gather most of the young bronze dragons, and come with them, not to show off your strength?
Sometimes, the relationship of equality between the two sides is based on the strong armed forces of both sides.
If there is a disparity in strength between the two sides, even if there is a cooperative relationship, it is deformed, out of the pity of the strong side.
In my opinion, this kind of relationship is difficult to last, and most of them will end up with the powerful invading the weak.
In this situation, His Excellency the Great Elder should not taboo the other party to show off his strength, but hope that the other party will work harder to show off his strength.
The stronger they are, the more thorough the operation will be.
And the more thorough the operation is to clean the sea, the less likely it will be for them to engage in small actions in private in the name of pirates in the future.
Whether you are a human or a dragon, the principle is the same, don't dwell too much on what has happened in the past, but focus on the future.
I can't say for sure that Lord Sean has a dirty deal with the pirates of the East China Sea.
But I can conclude that from this moment on, there will be absolutely no possibility of compromise between the two forces in the future. ”
Bradlik was able to be chosen by the Elven King to serve as the envoy to the continent of Ashan, and it was not enough to have force, but also to have enough wisdom - political wisdom.
His remarks made Great Elder Hobart snort, and he couldn't reply for a while.
Because the Elven envoy Bradlick's argument is very fair, neither overly biased towards the Bronze Dragons, nor is it simply speaking for the Eternal Night Leader.
Compared with him, his previous words were full of prejudice and resentment.
This prejudice and resentment is more or less influenced by what is seen and heard in the breeding area.
Although the turmoil in the East China Sea was mainly caused by the pirates, the casualties of the younger generation of the bronze dragon were mainly caused by the fleet led by the Eternal Night, and most of the pirates took a detour to the dragons.
Only the fleets led by the Eternal Night have the power to stand up to the dragons.
Fortunately, the Eternal Night Leader's previous actions were very restrained, and the whole was in a passive defensive state, even if he had the upper hand, he only drove away those young bronze dragons who were fighting with them, and did not chase them all down.
Otherwise, it's not as simple as resentment.
Grand Elder Hobert was typically unconvinced, and said coldly: "The envoy's judgment is too arbitrary! How can you conclude that the Eternal Night Leader will sever all relations with those pirates?"
"Isn't this an obvious thing? they used to acquiesce to the existence of pirates, just to attract your attention, but now they have completely lost their use value, if they want to start a full-scale trade, there must be a stable environment, I suggest that Your Excellency, give your young people a trade teacher afterwards, give them a trade lesson, increase their trade knowledge, even if they don't want to become excellent dragon merchants, at least they must do it, if they are sold, they have to give the number of money!" Bradlick said meaningfully.
"They dare!" The dragon power on Grand Elder Hobert's body once again uncontrollable and wanton surge, causing a wave of uneasiness on the Dragonborn mount.
"Look at it, look at it, the Great Elder's own thinking is not correct, it is still your dragon's hegemonic thinking, your hegemonic thinking is easy to use when your strength has the upper hand, you look at the sea strength displayed by the Eternal Night Commander, not to mention the young people in the breeding area, even if you withdraw all the adult warriors on your front line and start an all-out war with them, it will not be pleased.
You should know that the assumption I just mentioned is unrealistic, and your dragon warriors on the front line can't be withdrawn at all, and if you can pull out a third of it, you can only do it with the help of other races.
Since it is impossible to get the other party to act according to his own will, he has to do it according to the other party's method.
The other side's purpose is very clear, that is, free trade.
What is free trade?
I don't think I need to explain this concept to the Great Elder, right?
If your people, coveting the benefits of the Eternal Night, they make a pact with them and sell themselves.
You elders can't interfere!
If you choose to use force at that time, even our allies will not be able to stand on your side!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" the Grand Elder Hobart roared in a low voice, not thinking about it.
"Hey......" Bradlick let out a sneer.
"What do you mean by that?" this sneer made Grand Elder Hobart feel a great insult, and forcibly pressed his anger and asked.
"The Great Elder underestimated the power of free trade, and overestimated the resistance of the young people in his clan to foreign temptations, and there was really no way for them to make a decision to sell themselves with a box or two of gold coins, but what about a mountain of gold, or two or three mountains of gold? If they are not interested in wealth, what about food? What about other novelties? As long as they still have desires, there will be an opportunity for them to give in. Bradlick recounted the temptations of this world.
If you don't count it, Great Elder Hobert's expression will be embarrassed.
Dragons' obsession with treasure is well known.
It's not unfounded, it's that they do have a stronger greed than any other creature.
The older dragon is better, has accumulated a part of his own wealth, has a stronger will, and can control himself well.
Young dragons don't make it, they are often blinded by the wealth in front of them, and make wrong judgments and decisions.
"After initial contact, that young lord is definitely a master in this area, there will be more means than you and I can imagine, what should be said and what should not be said, I have already said it, the Great Elder himself should weigh it!" Bradlik nodded below, " The performance has already ended, and now it is the turn of the young clan led by the Great Elder to take the stage, I hope that your next performance can suppress the momentum of the other party, you now represent not only your Bronze Dragon Clan, but also our Golden Continent, and our entire Rebel Alliance. ”
It was during the time when Bradrick and Grand Elder Hobart exchanged their opinions.
The Eternal Night Commander has completed the reorganization of the more than 3,000 merchant warships that have been assembled.
After the reorganization, it was divided into a total of 30 maritime wings, each of which was divided into 10 small fleets.
The two sides have their own belongings and are closely related to each other.
They will form a large sea net, which will be pulled from east to west, and will not give the pirates a chance to break up and escape at sea.
In the process of reorganization, the Eternal Night Army led the team of emissaries from the Golden Continent and showed a terrifying ability to cooperate.
Except for a slight disturbance at the beginning, after having their own belongings, it is like a whole, and the cooperation between the wings dozens of nautical miles apart can be accurate to the minute.
It's kind of scary.
Being able to do this is no longer a matter of tacit understanding, but a real-time call between the two wings.
So far, Bradlik and the others have not figured out how the Eternal Night Leader did this.
At first, they thought it was the work of the magic ship that had the effect of a mage tower, but they quickly dismissed the possibility.
It is undeniable that the magic battleship is indeed powerful, even if it is placed in the Golden Continent, there are not many warships that can compare with it.
But it has no problem acting as the flagship of one or two wings, but if it wants to include all the more than 3,000 warships and warships, it is obviously lacking in ability, beyond the scope of its magic radiation.
After the official launch of Operation Clean Sea, it is believed that their battle line will be stretched longer.
Judging by the practices of the Eternal Night Lords, they definitely have other methods of remote instant communication.
This method of communication also aroused the strong interest of the Golden Continent envoy team, and it was included in the ranks of the inevitable success of this trip.
With this instant messaging method, it will greatly reduce the pressure on their defenses, and they can even use this method to launch a wave of targeted military strikes against the Fallen Elves, reversing the decline of recent years.
It's just that this matter is just a long way to go.
The lord of the Eternal Night Army, though young, was an out-and-out old fox, and if he wanted to deduct any benefit from him, he had to pay a corresponding price.
"Go!" Grand Elder Hobert nodded at the three bronze dragons behind him.
These three bronze dragons were all elites carefully selected by Grand Elder Hobert who personally went to the front line.
They not only have rich combat experience, but also have served on the front line for many years and have rich training experience.
The first thing they did when they arrived in the East African Islands was to gather the young bronze dragons, beat them one by one, convince them of the beatings, and then train them according to their requirements.
Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light.
After their emergency training, the combat effectiveness of these young bronze dragons has not been significantly improved, at least on the surface, it seems to be the same.
The flight formation in the air is very neat.
People who don't know their details are easily suppressed by their grandeur.
