The emissary sent by the Sultanate of Sulu to the Sultanate of Maguindanao was named Ibn and was a favorite of Sultan Suleiman of the Sultanate of Sulu and was also a high-minded figure in the Sultanate of Sulu. He saw this mission to the Sultanate of Maguindanao as an opportunity to gain political capital. In Ibn view, the timid Chinese had no choice but to submit to the powerful Sultanate of Sulu.

The clipper ship that Ibn was riding weighed only a few dozen tons. Such a small ship on the sea, naturally, will not be much better seaworthiness. Compared with the 'Shark-class' cruiser of the Xinhua Navy, this clipper is even more of a difference between ants and elephants!

"Hell! Can those Chinese actually build such a large warship? However, what is the use of their warships no matter how big they are, the navy of the Sultanate of Sulu has hundreds of warships, and if there is a war with Xinhua, we will be the last to win! Ibn looked at the 'Shark-class' cruiser of the Xinhua Navy with a jealous expression, but said unconvincedly. Although the shipbuilding skills of the Sulu Sultanate were not good, most of the warships were small ships of 100 tons or tens of tons. But there were so many that even the Western powers were reluctant to provoke them, which made the Sulu Sultanate feel good about itself. If they knew that the Western powers were preparing to gradually erode them, it is estimated that they would not have such an idea!

The clipper of the Sultanate of Sulu was discovered by the navy of the new country! Long Yufei and fleet commander Luo Sangu also got the news as soon as possible.

"Which country's ship is that?" Long Yufei put down the telescope in his hand and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's the Sultanate of Sulu! This is supposed to be the clipper of the Sultanate of Sulu, focusing on speed, but not equipped with artillery, and its combat power is almost zero! Luo Sangu said. As a pirate leader who was once active in the Nanyang region, and now the first fleet commander of the Xinhua Navy, Luo Sangu is very familiar with the distribution of power in the entire Nanyang region.

"The Sultanate of Sulu? Are they ready to intervene in the war between us and the Maguindanao Sultanate? Very good! That's exactly what I want! A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Long Yufei's mouth. Although the strength of the Sulu Sultanate is not weak, and it has dominated the Sulu Sea for hundreds of years, Long Yufei has never regarded them as the same thing! Since the Sultanate of Sulu dares to intervene, then he doesn't mind killing the Sultanate of Sulu together!

"Let them stop the boat at once and ask them what they are here for! Otherwise, we will attack! "Luo Sangu gave the order!

The flag-bearer on the cruiser 'Xinhua' immediately waved the flag and contacted the clippers of the Sultanate of Sulu.

On the clipper, an officer of the Sultanate of Sulu reported to Ibn: "My lord, the Chinese demand that we stop the ship and inform us of our intentions, otherwise they will see us as enemies and attack!" ”

"Damn! This sea is the territory of our Sulu Sultanate! Ignore the Chinese! They don't dare to do anything to us! Ibn snapped. He didn't pay attention to the warning of the Xinhua Navy at all.

The naval officers of the Sultanate of Sulu opened their mouths, but still did not say anything, and obeyed Ibn's orders. In front of the Xinhua Navy, their clipper ship is no different from ants, and the other party can easily sink them!

"Boom! "Seeing that the clippers of the Sultanate of Sulu did not stop, two 105-mm naval guns on the foredeck of the cruiser 'Xinhua' opened fire! The shell exploded more than two hundred meters in front of the clipper ship of the Sultanate of Sulu, splashing two columns of water that soared into the sky!

Although these two shells did not hit the clippers of the Sultanate of Sulu, the warning was very clear, and if they continued to advance, the shells might fall on their heads the next moment. Without waiting for Ibn to give the order, the speedboats of the Sultanate of Sulu began to turn and lowered their sails at the same time. They don't dare to take any more risks!

"Those damn Chinese, they actually dare to really shoot! I won't let them go! Ibn yelled angrily. This time, he is representing the Sultanate of Sulu, but these Chinese are inevitably too faceless to him!

The clipper stopped, and informed the Xinhua Navy of its intentions. Subsequently, the navy of the new country allowed them to get closer.

Ten minutes later, Ibn boarded the cruiser 'Xinhua'. For Xinhuaguo's 'Shark-class' cruiser, he was very disdainful on the surface, but the shock in his eyes really couldn't be hidden.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? After seeing Iben, Long Yufei asked directly. The interpreter on the side translated his words! However, this way of talking straight to the point and without a little greeting made Ibn a little uncomfortable!

"I am the emissary of the Sultanate of Sulu, sent by His Majesty our great Sultan to meet your leader!" Ibn said solemnly.

"I am the king of Xinhua, if there is anything to say to me, you can say it directly!" Long Yufei said.

Ibn glanced at Long Yufei in surprise, but he didn't expect that this young man was actually the king of Xinhua. A country that was able to exterminate the indigenous people of Mindanao, and to destroy the Sultanate of Buayan, and to scare the Sultanate of Maguindanao to the point of peeing its pants, is clearly not a weak country either. It is naturally not easy for people to be able to build such a country.

"The King of the Chinese, His Majesty the Sultan of our country demands that the troops of your country withdraw from this sea area at once! Here is the sphere of power of our Sulu Sultanate! Your country's attacks on the Sultanate of Maguindanao and the Sultanate of Buayan have undermined peace around the Sulu Sea. His Majesty the Sultan of our country demands that your army withdraw to northern Mindanao, release all the arrested Moros, and pay us two thousand pounds of gold as compensation to the Moros! If your country does not agree, the Sultanate of Sulu will declare war on your country! When the time comes, the armies of the mighty Sultanate of Sulu will set foot on your country! Your people will be enslaved by us! His Majesty the Merciful Suleiman does not want to see the lives destroyed, so he has sent me to warn you! I advise you not to provoke the powerful Sultanate of Sulu, but to agree to our conditions right away! After Ibn finished speaking, he looked at Long Yufei with a haughty face, waiting for his answer.

After listening to Iben's words, the translator standing next to Long Yufei had an ugly and terrifying face.

"What did he say? Translate it truthfully, not a single word is allowed to be changed! After Long Yufei saw the translator's expression, he said sternly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The interpreter had to tremble and translate Ibn's words truthfully.

The arrogance of the Sulu Sultanate greatly surprised Long Yufei. Was the Sultan of the Sultanate of Sulu kicked in the head by a donkey? How dare you warn him like this! Do they really think that they are still the overlords of the Sulu Sea?

The other officers and men of the Xinhua State on the cruiser 'Xinhua' also looked at Ibn with unkind faces. In particular, Niu Meng, the commander of the First Brigade of the Army, stared at Ibn even more fiercely, making Ibn feel furious!

"What do you want to do? I am the messenger of His Majesty Suleiman, and you must not harm me! Otherwise, Your Majesty will not let you go! Ibn said quickly, but, perhaps because he was frightened, his voice trembled a little, and even his legs began to tremble!

"Your Majesty! The Sultanate of Sulu is simply too deceitful! Please give the order of Your Majesty, set foot on the Sultanate of Sulu, and kill that guy Suleiman alive! The commander of the First Brigade of the Army, Niu Meng, asked for his life violently.

"Your Majesty! Although the Sultanate of Sulu is not weak, the First Fleet of the Navy is confident that it will destroy their navy! Send the army to Holo Island safely! Luo Sangu also said. The Sultanate of Sulu had many naval warships, but they were all small ships. In front of Xinhua's 'shark-class' cruisers, they are simply vulnerable! Luo Sangu believed that only 12 'Shark-class' cruisers would be enough to wipe out the navy of the Sulu Sultanate. Once the army of the Xinhua Kingdom lands on the island of Holo, the army of the Sultanate of Sulu is even less of an opponent of the Xinhua Army! After all, judging from the strength of the army of the New China Kingdom, there is no one in the entire Nanyang region who can compare with them!

Long Yufei's face was dark and terrifying, the current Xinhuaguo is no longer the time when the Flying Fish Company was just established, and it needs to be endured in every possible way. Even in the face of Western powers, as long as the other side does not attack with the strength of the country, Xinhua will dare to fight with it. Moreover, after the follow-up warships are put into service one after another, the strength of Xinhuaguo will become stronger and stronger. When the time comes, Xinhuaguo will completely gain a firm foothold and dominate the South Seas! This gave Long Yufei great confidence. Now, the emissary of a small Sulu Sultanate dared to swagger in front of him, and it almost defrauded his lungs!

"Huzi! Cut him off for me! Long Yufei ordered directly!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Huzi answered.

A cold light flashed, and Ibn fell to the ground in the midst of screams. The steel knife in Li Hu's hand had already cut off his head. Blood spurted from the cut in Ibn's neck, staining the deck of the cruiser 'Xinhua' red.

"Huzi! You've got the deck dirty, and you'll be in charge of cleaning it later! Long Yufei said with a frown.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Hu nodded and didn't say anything more.

The officers of the Sultanate of Sulu, who had accompanied Ibn, were already frightened, and they fell to their knees on the deck, shivering, and begging Long Yufei to forgive them. Long Yufei even dared to order Ibn to kill them directly, obviously he wouldn't take them seriously!

"Take his body away! Also, go back and tell your Sultan! Let him wash his neck and wait! After we have destroyed the Sultanate of Maguindanao, our army will attack the island of Holo and completely destroy the Sultanate of Sulu! Long Yufei said coldly.

After the interpreter translated Long Yufei's words, the officers of the Sulu Sultanate nodded again and again, picked up Ibn's body and left!
