The panicked Philip II arrived at the safety of the area with the help of the troops from the north, and with his personality, everyone thought that a counterattack on the spot was coming, but the truth was shocking!

Philip II ordered to retreat north! Overnight and back to Madrid at full speed!

Is this a confession? Louis thought to himself, it seems that this blow has hurt Philip II very deeply, if it were not for this reason, there is really no other reason for the king, who has always been above the top, to leave without saying a word and with his tail between his legs!

But for the current situation, this is a good thing - it is better than His Majesty's reckless search for a counterattack. In the uncertain situation, forbearance may be what a wise man should do.

Soon, however, Luis discovered that Philip II, who had suffered a setback in Seville and returned to Madrid, was on the move to find his place.

First of all, he reorganized the army and carried out a more vigorous purge of the Protestants within his reach, so as to prevent the recurrence of this situation.

Secondly, in consideration of the deteriorating maritime environment, the three detachments of the Armada located on the new continent were transferred back to the mainland to two, in order to search for and deal with those who dared to challenge the sacred Spanish crown, such guys, not a single one could be left!

Third, intensify the encirclement and suppression of the Portuguese opposition, and deal a fatal blow to these restless fellows economically, physically, and spiritually!

Fourth, increase the pressure on Britain and the Netherlands to force them to be more honest and not to try to take advantage of loopholes.

Fifth......

Sixth......

One decree after another was issued, demonstrating the determination of the strongest king of the European continent. Sitting on the throne, Philip II gently stroked the wound on his leg that was still aching, and gritted his teeth secretly. These rats hiding in the shadows, if I let me dig you out......

However, it is impossible for him to dig us up, and these decrees he has issued are of good interest to me - the garrison of the new continent is becoming more and more empty, and it seems that it is time to solve the problems of the Queen's sweetheart!

Palace of Westminster, in the side hall.

"Count Percival, your plan seems to have been successful! Congratulations! Elizabeth I, sitting on a carved seat, said elegantly, her tone and expression perfectly suited the status and mood of a queen, and it was evident that she was in a good mood.

I'm quite unimpressed by the title of Percival, because I can't remember...... Every time she called me by a title, it took me a while to react before I knew she was calling me.

I bowed slightly to the queen and said lightly: "The carving insect is a small skill, not enough to worry about, Your Majesty, I am about to go to the new continent to completely solve the problem of Virginia." ”

Elizabeth I smiled and said, "I have confidence in you, Count!" When are you going to go? ”

I bowed and said, "Within two days, Your Majesty!"

Elizabeth I nodded: "Then go early and return early!" Looking forward to your success! As he spoke, he glanced at the few people around me and smiled, "The knights around you are excellent, you should reward them, Earl."

I saluted again and said, "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty!" Perhaps it would be more appropriate for them to grant them a knighthood after they have brought enough benefit to the British. ”

To be honest, I'm a bit of a lion opening my mouth, and if I were to reward the knights myself, then all my expenses, including all the expenses of the knights, would be borne by myself.

It was the nobility who asked the queen to be canonized, and it was the queen and the British treasury who paid for it. In fact, when Elizabeth I said this, it was just a personal favor, but I unexpectedly beat the snake with a stick, which would be embarrassing if I wanted to admit it.

So after clearing her throat slightly, the queen said vaguely: "When you return with honors, it's not too late for us to discuss rewards!"

I bowed again and said, "Then thank Her Majesty for her kindness, and I will not disgrace my life!"

On the day of departure, the port of London was bustling with people, and people from all walks of life came to see them off. Of course, in order to make it less obvious where we are going, the queen has the queen announce that this fleet will rush to the Far East in search of the legendary gold!

The farewell ceremony was very grand, and the queen also took the opportunity to give an impassioned speech to the citizens of London, which was really an opportunity to win the hearts of the people.

In order to avoid the Spanish interception, I decided to start from London, make a little repair to Bristol, and then head west to Portland in North America and then south to Virginia.

It was by far the fastest and safest route, the shortest, the most singular, and the easiest to avoid the Spanish sphere of influence in Central America.

Now the most worrying thing for me is the kite that stays in London for treatment. Even though Arashi was with her, and ten female ninjas were arranged to accompany her day and night, I still felt uneasy.

But what can be done? This silly girl still shows no signs of awakening, and I can't wait any longer. So before leaving, I could only ask the queen to take more care of the kite again, and then I was reluctant to embark on the journey to the new continent.

Set sail! It was my first voyage to the Americas. Unlike the prosperity and richness of the Americas in the previous life, the current continent of America is still a desolate scene. Disease, indigenous, environmental, all of them are major challenges to the landing!

So before I went, I procured a lot of medicines and supplies. The last thing left now is to use tomorrow's time to take a final look at the five hundred death row inmates selected by Adicon, Nine Ghost Masataka and others from the Queen's Royal Prison!

These men will follow me to the new continent, and they will serve as the main laborers, combatants, and cannon fodder along the way, including there, and that is their fate.

But before I go, I'll have to try to get rid of some of the hidden dangers - even though we have more sailors than these death row inmates, it's easier to wreak havoc than to maintain order, isn't it?

Therefore, in terms of the principle of personnel, Adicon and the Nine Ghosts Masataka completely agreed, and according to my request, they mainly selected the death row prisoners of the two camps.

One is the prisoners of war, including prisoners of war captured from Spain and France in recent years and official pirates captured in Northern Europe, numbering about 300 people. These people are highly organized, have combat effectiveness, and can be used at any time.

The other is a real sinner. The total number of sinners is less than 300 are selected people with skills, and the choice is that there is another requirement, that is, those who commit violent crimes do not - it is easy to relapse if you have a criminal record, isn't it?

At half past four in the morning, in the cold morning breeze of England, a total of 600 death row inmates were assembled in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city.

I had Adicon announce the order - stand still, for an hour. No action or sound is allowed in addition to that, violators, I will take the place of the Queen's law enforcement team and deprive him of his right to live!

The prisoners stood a meter apart from each other, behaving in a well-behaved manner under the gaze of the two hundred musketeers and one hundred executioners around them.

However, it is clear that there are also people who don't care about my requests, and they are smart, intentional or unintentional, and do all kinds of disdainful, provocative, and unruly actions that do not follow my rules.

For such actions, I looked at them one by one, signaled to write them down, and someone responded.

The hour was up, the sun was rising, the first rays of sunlight were shining on everyone's faces, and my smile was exceptionally cold.

Slowly walking up to the high platform erected in front of the crowd, I glanced indifferently at the death row inmates below, and was silent for a minute before I spoke. My voice is mixed with inner strength, so that everyone who hears it feels that the voice is not loud, but it goes deep into the soul!

"Damned prisoners, you should know who I am, but I want to reiterate that I am your master, the Queen of England personally bestowed upon Sun Qilan, Earl of Percival! From this day forward, your lives are mine. "My voice, accompanied by the cold wind, penetrated into everyone's ears.

"You all deserve to die, and I, merciful, have asked the Queen to give you another chance—maybe a chance to live. It's not because God has mercy, it's because I've given you the possibility of life! ”

After listening to my words, most of the people did not react, but there were also a few people who muttered in private, and this scene was hidden under my wolf style, but I still did not say anything.

This made more people want to move, and some people seemed to think that I was just blowing the air and didn't dare to really do anything to them. There has been occasional laughter in the crowd.

I glanced back at the Nine Ghosts Masataka, and he nodded. I turned my head and continued, "I need five hundred, but there are nearly six hundred here, do you know why?"

A bald head smiled angrily: "Because you don't know how to count!" Ha ha! ”

Before the words fell, I heard the sound of "bang bang bang" gunshots! Immediately, dozens of people in the crowd were accurately shot in the head! Fall down with a bang!

There was a commotion in the crowd, and the panicked death row inmates didn't know what was going on and wanted to squeeze out! I shouted, "Death to those who move again!"

The energetic voice suddenly shook their eardrums and they stood on the spot. My voice continued: "Get back to where you are, within three sounds!" Otherwise, die! ”

Then, I lowered my voice and said:

"One!"

The crowd moved! Under the muzzle aiming of the black hole, no one dared to make superfluous movements.

"Two!"

Most of them have returned to their positions and are in a hurry to find their footing.

"Three!"

Except for the two random people who were still on the way to the standing point, the rest of the people were already in place.

Listening to the two gunshots "bang", the two of them will never reach their standing point!

This time, all the living people stood extremely straight, and even if the sweat ran into their eyes, they did not dare to make any movements to deal with it.

I continued: "You see, I am merciful, and I will give you the right to live as long as you act according to the rules!"

A cold wind blew, but the death row inmates below were like wooden stakes, not moving at all.

I nodded, "Good!" I'm starting to like you guys a little bit! I know your past. Some of you used to be soldiers, and some of you were outstanding people from all walks of life, but if you commit a capital crime, you are death row inmates! From now on, my will is the only test of whether you can survive or not, you know? ”

The vast majority of people opened their mouths and replied, "Understood!" "Although the language is different, the meaning is the same.

I sneered and said, "Just now, there were two people who didn't speak. You! That's right, guys with tattoos on their necks. And you, yes, that's you. Answer me, do you understand? ”

When the person with the tattoo on his neck saw this, he knew that his arm couldn't twist his thigh, but the anger of the rivers and lakes all over his body made him get used to it, and he could only reply weakly due to the situation: "I understand." ”

I looked at the other person with a blank face and asked, "What about you?" ”

The obviously thin guy trembled a little and said, "Uncle...... I understand, Lord Count! But I'm innocent! It was Phil who stole the royal jewels, and I was wronged! ”

I retracted my gaze, raised my head slightly, looked at the white clouds in the sky in the distance, and said lightly: "Maybe you are right, you are innocent, but I am not a judge, but your god!" After speaking, I looked at the guy with the tattoo before and said indifferently: "So, because of your attitude, I am guilty of rebellion!" ”

As soon as the word "sin" came out, two gunshots rang out......

"Now you should understand what I mean and what I ask. Does anyone else not understand? Again, my voice reached the ear drums of the death row inmate.

"Understood!"

This time, the sound was loud and neat. So I asked again, "Which of you was an officer in the first place?" Dequeue! ”

Twelve people walked out and stood in a neat row. I asked again, "Anything else?" ”

No one agreed.

I condescended and asked the officer standing first, "Are there any officers in the ranks?" ”

The man looked at me and replied, "No! Lord Earl! ”

As soon as I raised my hand, a shot from the musketeers rang out, and he had an extra hole in his head, and he was dead!

I asked the second one, "Is there anything else?" The guy trembled and replied, "Yes! Some! Mike is an officer! He didn't come out of the ranks! ”

I raised my head and said lightly, "Who is Mike?" Come out. ”

A silver-haired man trembled out of the queue and stood aside. I said to the remaining officers, "Find the remaining officers in the queue." You know what I mean! ”

A manhunt has begun! In front of acquaintances, anyone who wants to hide himself has nothing to hide, and is pulled out and stands aside.

Then, I raised my hand, and they fell.

Then I appointed the first eleven men to come out and confess that they were officers—one of whom had fallen to the ground, and his body was all hard—as captains of the present ranks, and fifty men each. After counting the number of people, four hundred and ninety-nine!

Damn, kill one more! Forget it, it's perfect!

So, I commanded everyone, "Go!" Target, New Big * Land! ”
