Chapter 738: Turning against each other is not an enemy
"Did the Ragner pirates defeat so quickly?"
Looking at the document from Christine in his hand, Jian Chen smacked his lips, feeling that he had always overestimated the land combat power of the Rigner pirates, and originally he was counting on the Rigner pirates to make the elves suffer a little more under the command of the pirate princess.
Now that things have backfired, Jian Chen couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"This time, Christine is going to be even more tired, and I don't know when those elves will fight back against the Tulaone Forest, but the elves are now isolated, and the rebellions in various parts of Eli are also rising one after another, so it should be able to fight for a while, right? And that pirate princess immediately led the army to retreat to the Tulaleone forest, presumably not dead set on Erry, still want to fight with the elves again, and help them appropriately, although I can't expect them to do anything to the elves, but they can also disgust those elves, and buy a little more time, so that I can solve the matter on Hammondal's side without worry."
Thinking like this, Jian Chen was thinking about how to communicate with the pirate princess, but found that what Christine reported to him was mainly another matter.
It's still one thing related to the Ragner pirates.
Under Catarina's strict orders, the pirates who invaded the coastal areas of the Elven Kingdom began to revert to their old ways after a period of time, setting off a new round of raids in various places.
Since the elves had long since left the forests of Tulalione, the pirates could not make much money in the already empty elven cities and elven villages, so they extended their claws to other races in the forest.
After looting some non-elven villages, the pirates' evil deeds successfully aroused the wrath of the various forest races, and these races, who now even dare to rebel against the elves, not only spontaneously organized themselves to fight a few vicious battles with the pirates, but also sued Christine, demanding justice from the Ntagri army.
Although it was not publicly declared, as long as the relationship between the Entagri Empire and the Rigner pirates was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye, the two sides joined forces to attack the Elven Kingdom, and no one would believe it if it was not an alliance.
Therefore, the Ragner pirates made such a fuss, and even the Entagri Empire was burdened by them, and was angered by various forest races, and the pacification and integration work that had been carried out quite smoothly was also affected.
Christine had the intention to teach these pirates a lesson, but she was worried that it would disrupt Jian Chen's overall layout, so she had to ask Orison to gather his men and horses to be ready to go out at any time, and at the same time urgently asked Chen Jian for instructions.
"Dogs can't change their eating"
After reading Christine's report, Jian Chen was greatly annoyed.
He didn't have a good impression of the pirates, and it was expedient to cooperate with the other party, and when he saw Katarina restraining his subordinates before, he also felt that these pirates were a little different, and his opinion of them had changed slightly, but now the other party behaved like this, but it was a big taboo for him.
In Jian Chen's opinion, the Turalone Forest is already in the pocket of the Entagre Empire at this time, and it is only a matter of time before the forest races in it join the Entagre Empire.
Without saying a word, Jian Chen immediately gave Christine an order to let him go.
"Teach them a good lesson, let them understand who has the final say in the current Tula Leone Forest"
At the same time, he also asked Christine to send the big-eared monster Orison to lead a group of men to intercept the road where the Rigner pirates retreated, just in case.
He then wrote a sternly worded letter to Catarina, asking her to restrain her men and allow the pirates who had completed their mission to withdraw from the Tulaone forest to the sea.
"If your country's behavior continues to be like this, there will be no need to continue to maintain the alliance between your two countries."
Jian Chen directly gave Katarina an ultimatum.
Although this is suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but Chen Jian can't care about these at this time, he doesn't allow anyone to sabotage his operation to take over Turalion, let alone allow the evil deeds of the pirates to destroy the image of the Entagri Empire in the minds of the forest dwellers, not to mention that this time he still has a reason, which can be said to be justified.
And the pirates have been staying in the forests of Tulaone without moving their nests, it is not a thing, Chen Jian has long seen that the Rigner pirates dispatched this time, except for the main force led by Katarina herself, the rest of the three-way pirate army is simply a rabble, not a regular army, and there is a chance that pirates from all over the sea are temporarily assembled.
If these guys stay in the forest, they will have no other effect except bad things, and Chen Jian believes that with Katarina's ambition and scheming, he will not fail to see the existence of these guys, which is not a good thing for both parties.
So he wasn't worried at all that he would anger the other party if he stacked up harsh words.
Chen Jian clearly conveyed a meaning to the other party, if you want to continue to cooperate, you can, but you have to follow the way of the Entagri Empire.
And in order to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys, and let the forest dwellers understand the attitude of the Entagri Empire on this matter, the letter written by Jian Chen to Katarina was deliberately sent one day late.
The next day, the pirate princess Catarina, who was in a hurry to lead the army to retreat, received Chen Jian's letter, and she fainted on the spot.
"A bunch of waste"
After calming down, Katarina's pretty face was covered with frost, but her heart was full of bitterness.
She had long known that the pirates who had gathered from all over the country had not succeeded enough and had more than enough defeat, but the main force of pirates directly under the Rigner Islands was limited, and many times, even if she didn't want to, she could only rely on these guys with the name of the Endless Sea Empire to do something.
Fortunately, the deterrent effect of the Rigner Islands is still very good, although these guys have not been so easy to use, and they have to be a little troublesome from time to time, but there has never been any major problems, this time in order to prevent these lawless guys from doing anything stupid, she has repeatedly ordered and restrained the pirates very tightly.
Originally, she planned to wait until she arrived in the Tulaone Forest to reorganize these guys, but she didn't expect that at this critical moment, she only relaxed her guard on these guys slightly, and these greedy guys had already caused her such a big disaster before she arrived.
At this moment, Katarina even had the heart to get rid of these guys with her own hands.
In Katarina's opinion, the Entagre Empire's side must not be offended, the current balance of power between the two sides is not at the same level at all, it really wants to provoke Chen Jian, the Rigner pirates are going to be unlucky, not to mention things on land, just on the sea, as soon as the first fleet of the Entagri Empire moves, the pirates will not be able to bear it.
Katarina knows very well, don't look at the thousands of Rigna pirates' warships, full of majesty, if you really want to fight, in front of the opponent's dragon army and advanced warships, the fate of the pirates is definitely not much better than the original Bracada Kingdom Navy and Erathia Imperial Navy, it is nothing more than relying on the large number of people and ships, holding on for a little longer, sooner or later it will be eaten up by the other party, when the time comes, whether the fleet is destroyed or escaped, these pirates who went with Catarina this time, In the case of a retreat, there is only one way to bury the corpse forest.
What's more, the elves chose to abandon the Tulaone Forest and make every effort to ensure that the Erimi Forest did not lose their strategy, so that the elves retained their relatively intact strength, which greatly surprised Katarina, not only did her original intention to take advantage of the fisherman's profit not be achieved, but also lost her troops, but invisibly became the weakest side of the three warring parties.
Therefore, Katarina is now absolutely unwilling to offend the Entagri Empire, and she still wants to use the power of the Entagri Empire to reopen the situation in Ere.
With this decision, Catarina immediately ordered the pirates who were doing evil in the forests of Tulaone to stop plundering immediately, and to retreat to the sea at once, not to enter the forests of Tulaone again, and to strictly order the pirates everywhere not to act arbitrarily again.
However, because Jian Chen sent the letter a day late, Katarina's orders were a little too late, and her orders had not yet been issued, and the letters of distress and grievances from pirates from all over the country flew over like snowflakes first, these guys had already been beaten miserably by the Entagre Army and the forest dwellers everywhere, and Christine's reputation for being good at blitzkrieg was not blown out of his mouth.
After receiving Chen Jian's clear order, Christine, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately dispatched a large number of flying troops to launch a lightning attack against those Richner pirates who dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head.
The pirates from all over the world, who were unprepared for this, and whose own strength was far inferior to the Entagre army, were caught off guard, and the situation could only be described as a one-touch collapse, either killed on the spot, or scattered.
It is worth mentioning that in this operation, the forest dragons became the vanguard of the Entagre army, and after the elves abandoned the Tulaglion forest, the forest dragons made it clear that the chariots and horses were out of contact with the elven kingdom, and then the clan moved out of the Elryon Cliff and moved to a certain place in the Tulaglian forest, and openly joined the Ntagri Empire.
The Golden Dragon Queen is also quite scheming, she knows that in the Ntagari Empire, which has the three strong races of the Negan Dragon, the Angel Clan and the Krrigan Demon Clan, and has also obtained the allegiance of the Fairy Dragon and the Crystal Dragon, the Forest Dragon Clan can no longer be as strong as it was in the Elven Kingdom, the competition is fierce, and she understands that if she is determined to join, she must show some sincerity and perform well, so that the future life will be better.
Therefore, although the Entagri Empire has repeatedly emphasized that it will not force the Forest Dragon Clan to join the Entagrui Army, the Golden Dragon Queen, who knows the meaning of the song after hearing the strings, still orders a large number of clansmen to join the Entagrui Army in the name of voluntarily.
"The war is fierce right now, and it is the time to employ people, how can the Forest Dragon Clan, as a member of the Entagri Empire, stay out of the matter?"
In a letter to Jian Chen, the Golden Dragon Queen wrote.
Of course, Jian Chen understood what the Golden Dragon Queen was thinking, and at this time, he really needed the combat power of the Forest Dragon Clan, and let the forest dragons experience the unique atmosphere in the Entagri army, which was also very beneficial to the enveloping the Forest Dragon Clan, so he didn't act coyly, and simply incorporated these forest dragons into the Entagri army, and told the Golden Dragon Queen that after the war calmed down, these forest dragons who joined the Entagri army could freely choose to stay.
With the help of the forest dragons, Christine greatly increased the power available to him, and he was even more merciless in his actions against the pirates, who could not resist it, suffered many casualties, and the remnants fled back to sea, but even so, before they were far enough from the coastline, they were inevitably destroyed by the dragons' air raids.
After escaping, the pirates who came to their senses immediately complained to Catarina, saying that the Ntagrean army had killed the allies in disregard of their allies, hoping that Catarina would help them recover the scene.
Katarina almost didn't give the shameless guys so much that they vomited blood.
"Ignoring my orders, you have ruined my plan, not only are you unrepentant, but you have suffered a great loss, but you have asked me to help them out?"
After finishing the fire, Catarina, who calmed down, realized that she had been calculated by Chen Jian again, and the Ntagri Army started to act yesterday, but she only received a letter from Chen Jian today.
"Damn the guy who actually played such a trick with me"
Thinking of this, Katarina burst into a rage again, and the feeling of being pressed by people everywhere was really unbearable for her.
She was in a fit of rage when another piece of news came back from the scouts.
"An army of Entagre has moved in the direction of our army's advance, with unknown intentions"
This news made most of the staff officers around Katarina jump like a frying pan, they had never been treated like this after being rampant at sea for so long.
"It's too much to do this"
"Even if we don't do it right, the Ntagrean Army will be too deceitful to do this."
Everyone was indignant, but Katarina, who had calmed down again, smiled bitterly.
Of course, she was also very annoyed by Chen Jian's hand, but she also understood that it was understandable for the other party to do this, the two sides were called allies, but in private they were wary of each other.
"Shut it up"
After drinking to silence everyone, Katarina walked a few steps back and forth in distraught, and finally made up her mind.
"Anyway, the elves didn't chase us, you guys and horses will be stationed here first, I'll go see Jian Chen, don't meet with him in person to talk about it, I'm afraid it won't solve the damn thing, how did those guys provoke such a thing for me, I have to teach them a good lesson afterwards"
Katarina's decision worried some pirates, and one of the veteran pirates even objected: "Your Highness, isn't this too dangerous?" The Entagri Empire is now crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, obviously with ill intentions towards us, if you go to see Jian Chen, what if anything......"
"No, things aren't that bad," Katarina interrupted the pirate, unimpressed by his concerns, "The Ntagrean Empire is so tough this time, it's just because those guys are making too much trouble this time, making it difficult for the Entagri Empire to do it, and they are using this toughness to show their stance to the forest races who want to cling to them, and at the same time, they are using this toughness to force us to take a stand"
"Forcing us to take a stand?" The pirate staff were a little confused.
"Not bad" Catarina nodded, and said confidently: "It's just a statement, don't look at the appearance of the Entagre Empire going to war with us, but in fact, they want to continue to cooperate with us, they need us to help them contain the Elven Kingdom, so that they can take over the Turalone Forest more calmly, and focus on the war in the Hammondale region, if we are not there, then they must directly face the counterattack of the Elven Kingdom, this empire is expanding too fast, and it takes time to digest"
"And even after the fall of the Elven Kingdom, they still need us to be a buffer between them and the Diya region for a long time, they all need us as allies, so as long as they handle it properly, not only will they not be angry with us because of what happened, but they will also help us, of course, in the future, things like this will definitely not happen again, the Entagri Empire has always played the card of benevolence and righteousness, and pays attention to the image, if we repeatedly contradict them, This cooperation will definitely not last long, and in the future, we must restrain our subordinates even more, so that we can use the power of the Ntagri Empire to firmly control Eri in our hands, and then use the various resources in the local area that are far greater than the Rigner Islands, to strengthen our own power."
"So now, we must not only make a clear statement, but also show enough sincerity, so I decided to talk to Jian Chen in person, and this is also a great opportunity to find out the true strength of the other party, the battle of Hammondale is very important to the overall strategy of the Entagre Empire in the future, of course Chen Jian will do his best, want to find out their strength, this is definitely a great opportunity, the other party wants to refuse, and this time the tactics used by the Entagre army really make me curious, I will go to Hammondal, It is just a good time to see with our own eyes the use of this tactic, which will be of great help to us in the future in organizing our flight units and formulating corresponding air tactics."
Convincing everyone, Katarina immediately wrote a letter to Jian Chen, first admitting that she had no way to discipline her, and then saying that she would personally go to meet with her and agree on a suitable way to deal with the incident, hoping that the Ntagri army would temporarily stop the excesses.
"I'm looking forward to meeting you"
Finally, Katarina wrote.
