While Adlerham was struggling with gossip, Palch was going through a political upheaval. The reason is that the sneak attack of Li Tianhao, the prince of Dils, failed, which is a rare defeat since Li Tianhao raised his army.

The reason why Li Tianhao was worshiped as a god by the soldiers was because he had not lost a battle since he raised his army. Even if they encounter strong opponents such as Ulysses, Libera, and Vultures, they only cause great problems for them, and they are not defeated once. Even if Elda defeated the Arubanian fleet with a weak victory, even if Li Tianhao easily defeated the Arubanian reinforcements, even if he succeeded in retreating in time to preserve his combat strength before the Arubanian army began to encircle, it could not erase the failure of failing to conquer the primary target Baroud Fortress, which undoubtedly had a great blow to Li Tianhao's undefeated reputation.

When they returned to the port of Arisianta, the troops who had attacked were full of frustration, and even the generals were calm. Although everyone understood that it was a timely retreat that avoided the fate of being surrounded by the overwhelmingly superior Arubanian army, it was a far cry from what they had hoped when they left the port of Arisenda, and there was no welcome, no flowers, and no honor. In fact, if people really welcome them, everyone will feel even more embarrassed, so Li Tianhao informed the port early on that the welcome ceremony should not be organized.

Unlike everyone else, Li Tianhao did not show any frustration and decadence about this failure, as if this failure had inspired his strength.

The first thing Li Tianhao did after returning to the port was to reward his merits. Although the battle was lost, the performance of the generals and soldiers should still be recognized. All soldiers who participated in the war were all promoted to the first rank of knight, and were rewarded with 100 silver coins, and those who were meritorious were given other rewards, and those who died in battle were doubled.

Among the generals who attacked, the highest reward was the original pirate leader Congille, who performed the most well in the Battle of Badru, so Li Tianhao named him the commander of the First Fleet of Palci, and included all the ships that had just been built in the port of Maranster in his First Fleet formation, and Congill's first task was to plunder the narrow sea area of Arubania, and allowed him to divide the plundered materials in half with Palchi. This was undoubtedly tantamount to giving Cornchill a great fortune, and at the same time it was also a ploy to deal a blow to the waters of Arubania, and Cornchill was able to do his old job in the name of Palci.

For Bai An and Misheva, who also made meritorious contributions in naval battles, Li Tianhao made Bai An the commander of the Third Fleet and Mishewa the commander of the Second Fleet, and received the same tasks and authority as Kang Jil. The only difference is that the Second and Third Fleets are still empty shells, so Li Tianhao ordered Bai An to go to Port Potsmo to form the Third Fleet, and Misherva went to the Jinting stronghold to form the Second Fleet. Neither of these things was easy, because these two places, unlike the port of Maranster, could hardly receive any assistance on land in Palchi, so they had to secure them first before waiting for an opportunity to attack Arubania.

After rewarding these three, Li Tianhao left Elda in the port of Arizander to take charge of forming the Fourth Fleet in Palchi. For this Fourth Fleet, Li Tianhao's requirement was to be able to fully control the waters of the Diqiel Sea, so that the Palchi army could come and go unhindered.

This is a very ambitious goal, considering that the Sea of Dichel is not only the Arubanian Navy, but also the Frankish Navy. Li Tianhao's appointment has undoubtedly taken into account Frank's possible threat, Elda's mission is to build a powerful fleet enough to defeat these two countries, which is a goal that has not been completed since the founding of the Akih Nation, and it is really not something that ordinary people can do. With Palci's current national strength, it is already very difficult to form three fleets at the same time, let alone such a powerful fleet in the Dichel Sea? Obviously, Li Tianhao's purpose in appointing Elda is to use the financial resources of the Li family's business group to complete this matter

After that, Li Tianhao rewarded the generals for this attack, and then pleaded guilty to Queen Alfrit, claiming that his attack was unfavorable and damaged Palci's military prestige, and asked Her Majesty to punish him severely to set an example. He stayed in the harbor of Arisianta to wait for Her Majesty to confess.

While waiting for the queen to fall, Li Tianhao did not rest, he actively issued orders and military orders and began to build his own strategic puzzle. The first is Feng Alina. The Marquise of Lorraine, who was also the governor of Port Maranster, entrusted Alina with the management of Port Marenster, and demanded that Alina immediately take her husband, Count of Senas and Viscount Eglius, to Port Marenster.

At the same time, Li Tianhao also issued an order for the transfer of the whole army, mobilizing all the elite forces in the Palchi army to the border area with Arubania. He divided the border area into two theaters, the first of which had Gernas as the main general, and Dara, Zaran, Tatar, and Jimda as the lieutenants, and guarded the fortress of Meolan and its environs along the coast of Diqier; The second theater of operations, with Hector as the main general, Chikelda, Wodd, and Zukar as the lieutenants, built a new fortress in the Tours area facing the narrow sea, and used it as a base to defend the safety of the port of Maranster, while maintaining a posture that could be attacked at any time. Brooks led the main force of Palchi near Port Maranster with Muller, Alam, Senas, Eglius, Agobar, and Elaine, as a strategic support for the two theaters, training troops and collecting intelligence on Arubania, waiting for an opportunity to launch a land attack on Arubania.

In addition, Li Tianhao also wrote a letter to Wei Song, who was in charge of the overall situation in Echtidon, asking him to select an envoy who could send Frank and strive to establish good relations with Frank, so that he could remain neutral in the war with Arubania in Palchi or stand on Palci's side.

It has to be said that after defeating Yaqui, Palchi only gained less than a year of peace, and then entered the war with Arubania again under the leadership of Li Tianhao. This was of course an opportunity for the soldiers to gain merit, wealth and honor again, but it was very unfavorable for the post-war revival of Palchi, for which Wei Song led the ministers to work hard and exhausted, which supported the subsequent war with Arubania, but their hard work was covered by Li Tianhao's achievements on the front, so that later generations often ignored their great exploits and only talked about Li Tianhao.
