Three messengers came to William Wallace's camp, all of them on tall horses, well-dressed, and full of arrogance...... They were messengers sent by Duke Robert the Bruce to summon William Wallace and his principal assistants to meet the Duke.

Receiving a few peasants as a duke was simply a face-saving gesture, so of course the envoy would be extremely proud.

Little Walker was still looking through William Wallace's belongings, and at this time, he was holding up a small square notebook and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is a citizenship certificate that proves that I am a citizen of exile......"

"What do you mean by a citizen?"

“…… I live there, I pay my taxes, and the tax collectors protect my rights...... For example, security, full French income, and so on. ”

"Then why not call it a residence permit or a tax certificate?"

"Maybe the residence permit just proves that you can live here, but you don't have any rights...... The tax certificate just shows that you paid your taxes......"

Little Walker suddenly became sad and indignant: "Then why are we still being oppressed and bullied by them after paying so many taxes?!" Why is there no one to protect us?! ”

"That's why I'm going to resist...... If they don't give it, we'll take it back......"

At this time, someone came to report that a messenger from Duke Robert the Bruce had arrived, and asked William Wallace to meet them at the door.

Little Walker was furious and said, "Let them come by themselves...... Bullshit dukes, where were they when we were oppressed by the English?! ”

William Wallace said, "...... Go out and meet them, and we will unite all the Scots......"

The gates of Yorktown.

Bands of shiny infantry and cavalry marched through the gates.

Countless citizens of England cheered enthusiastically at them......

An English general waved his arm to the crowd and said triumphantly to his assistants: "The great citizens of England will always support our ......"

His assistant said: "Yes, we bring them pride!" ”

Quelling the peasant rebellion in Scotland was an easy military feat...... In the face of peasants who have no standard weapons in their hands and have not undergone military training, they are simply a red-hot dagger!

And those ragged peasants are butter!

So, whoever leads the team will go from one victory to another.

A bay off the coast of Scotland.

A three-masted ship was moored there, gently rising and falling with the black and blue waves.

In the cabin, the arms merchant Li Ao said to a Scottish merchant through a Hui translator: "I know that you Scots hate the English from top to bottom...... It's just that your military capabilities are really no match for them, so you are enslaved by them...... I sympathize with the Scots from the standpoint of a businessman...... Of course, that doesn't mean I hate the English...... I just hope that everyone can keep the peace and that both sides can get the justice they deserve! ”

The Scottish merchant bowed and said:

"Only dead England can give peace and justice to others!

…… We Scots and most of the princes of France think so! ”

Arms merchant Li Ao smiled after hearing this, this is really an undying feud.

He went on to say, "It's just a business for me...... But in good conscience, I prefer to win the friendship of the Scots by selling these three hundred muskets and their ammunition to the Scots...... I've shown you the power of a skullpistol, and you'll use it, and I hope you'll find the right buyer in the Scottish region and live up to my sympathy. ”

The Scottish merchant bowed again and said:

"I'll go to Duke Robert the Bruce myself...... Only his leadership will free the Scots from the rule of the English! ”

"Ah, I'm not very familiar with the affairs of the Scottish region...... But I have a friend, he is a citizen of the Federal Empire, his name is William Wallace, if you can meet him, tell him that the Empire is always with him, and his friend Li Ao is with him......"

The Scottish merchant thought for a long time and said, "I have never heard of a Scottish nobleman with this name......"

"He was certainly not a nobleman, but he fought with me against the Tatar bandits...... If you see him, please say hello to him on my behalf...... Tell him that I used to think that businessmen had no homeland, only business...... Hehe, that's a bit wrong......"

The Scottish merchant was a little inexplicable.

Of course, there was no need for Li Ao, an arms dealer, to explain to him, and then he said, "You know, I only want a symbolic price for this batch of arms...... If the funds are still insufficient, you can also ...... in installments I believe in the integrity of the Scottish people! ”

The Scotsman was so touched that he said, "Thank you for your generosity...... The Scots will remember your help! ”

Li Ao, an arms merchant, waved his hand carelessly, and asked his men to help him pick up the goods from the cabin, and then hoisted down the three sampan boats and slowly began to unload the goods.

He held the side of the boat with both hands and watched as the three sampans slowly rowed towards the Scottish coast.

He couldn't help but sigh, a real businessman is not only about profit, but also about social responsibility...... There is also a national responsibility.

Thinking of his children sitting in the classroom with the children of the Imperial King, he almost wanted to fly back to his home on the island of Liuqiu!

The fate of his family may be tied to the fate of the king's family!

William Wallace galloped with Walker Jr. and Olibi Populan on their horses.

They followed closely the three messengers.

It was clear that he had accepted the call of Duke Robert the Bruce and hurried to Castle Bruce.

Little Walker looked at the three brightly dressed messengers with disdain, and it was obvious that he was disdainful of the so-called nobles...... But he had to obey William Wallace's arrangement, and had to go with him to meet the nobles.

In the conference room of Bruce Castle.

Duke Robert the Bruce loudly discussed the battle with the other nobles, big and small.

They also drew together on a rudimentary map, arguing about which family contributed how many troops and how many supplies.

They really decided to fight a positional battle with the regular army of England, the 3rd Infantry Regiment, known as the elite regiment.

Perhaps only Duke Robert the Bruce knew what was behind this battle...... Win or lose, he wants to get the most out of it!

He was always in a trance, listening to the arguing of the nobles over the number and supplies of the troops.

At this time, one of his guards walked into the conference room and whispered something in his ear.

Duke Robert Bruce's eyes lit up suddenly, and he shouted to everyone, "Friends! William Wallace, known as the hero of Scotland, has come to our castle in person! ”

Hearing the word hero, many nobles laughed presumptuously.

"Haha, the death squad that charged first for us is here......"
