Following Zhang Huansheng to the sea, it was Mo Da who led the three giant ships.

He sat on the flagship Chixuanhuang, and sixty percent of the generals under his command, including the captains of the other two warships, were all surviving officers from the Howling Wind Army of the Asahi Kingdom.

Although the soldiers under their command are not elite, with the excellent ships and the rich experience of the commanders on the Weihe Sea for many years, they rode the wind and waves all the way, sailed carefully, and finally crossed the ocean without panic in only ten days and came to the boundary of Xizhou.

On this day, the sky was blue and the sun was shining, standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the foreign continent, Zhang Huansheng saw that in the half-fan-shaped harbor in the distance, thousands of ships of all kinds were docked in the half-fan-shaped harbor in the distance;

On the dock on the shore, although there are still some ruins destroyed in the war, it has been restored to the prosperous scene, countless people with yellow skin and black hair in Dongzhou are completely different, with snow-white skin, deep facial features, and gold, silver, red, and brown hair, men, women and children are running around, and can't help but say: "It's really a party of water and soil to support a person."

Obviously, everyone had the same root and the same origin before ancient times, but because they were scattered on different continents later, the appearance of Dongzhou and Xizhou people became so different, which is really amazing. ”

Hearing this, Mo Da, who was standing beside him, answered clumsily: "Junju, although they are different from ours in appearance, they are all red blood, white bones, and have hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys, but the inner flesh is the same. ”

The two talked but didn't know that on the harbor tower, two people with the same lion's mane, thick golden hair, aged between middle-aged and old people, a square nose and a wide mouth, a sculptural and handsome man, was holding a lookout glass, and his eyes looked at the three Zhang Guoxuan Huang giant ships on the sea without blinking, revealing a dignified look.

After a few moments, the square-nosed man said to his companion. "What do you think it means to see those three ships of the size of the Carthaginian 'Conqueror' class, the firearms and the runic skills used, and even more sophisticated ships coming towards us, Arecio?"

"Although they look big and have strong firepower, there are no supply ships to follow, and there are no auxiliary ships to escort them, and the boats seem to be driven by yellow-skinned, black-eyed, and haired Dongzhou people, not like they are here to find trouble, Amideo." The handsome man on the side replied softly when he heard this.

Amidio frowned, "But it's even more unlikely that these three giant ships are merchant ships, so it's better to be cautious before figuring out where they came from."

After all, the Republic had just destroyed Carthage, and the terrible Hannibal was said to be alive. ”

"Oh, poor Armedeon, are you suffering from a fever, how many times have I said that Hannibal is dead, that devil is dead," Arecio suddenly became angry when he heard this, and shouted impatiently: "After winning the Battle of Lake Trasimeno, he died of serious injuries from the thunderbolt of Scipio, the great priest of the Temple of Zeus. ”

"You didn't see his corpse with your own eyes, but you just read the often flawed war reports of the Republic, how can you be sure that the demon is really dead?" said Armedeon, unconvinced, tugging at his beard.

Hearing this, Arecio shouted angrily: "Because he is alive, we will not be able to conquer Carthage so easily. After that, he paused, suppressed the anger in his chest, and looked at the Zhang Guo battleship that was getting closer and closer, and muttered for a moment, "But there is one thing you said right, Amideo, we have to be careful now."

Herald, pass my order, put all the ballista batteries and throwers on the shore into combat readiness, and at the same time send patrol boats to stop the three black giant boats on the sea, and ask them where they came from? ”

"Yes, Master Thousand." Standing behind Arecio, a young Xizhou officer in half-armor and a cockscomb helmet immediately stood solemnly with his fists crossed his heart and answered loudly.

After turning around, he jumped directly off the tower, and with a loud bang, his feet stepped out of a half-inch shallow pit on the ground, and a puff of dust was raised.

After a dozen or so breaths, there were several ships on the dock with alchemy cannons on the bows, and the Western Qin Eagle Flag fluttering on the sails, and the small ships operated by more than a dozen people set sail towards the Zhang Guo giant boat.

Zhang Huansheng, who was standing on the red yellow deck, saw them rushing straight towards him, as if he had already prepared for an order: "There is a golden eagle flag floating on the mast, it seems that it should be the ship of the Western Qin Mansion, and eighty percent of it is because we see that our ship is full of firearms, and it really doesn't look like a businessman, and I am afraid of any entanglement, so I will block it in the sea first, ask for the way, and then make a plan."

We are guests from afar, so we will stop the ship first, and make our words clear before entering the port. ”

"Yes." Mo Da responded respectfully, and passed Zhang Huansheng's will to the other giant ships through the flag.

Soon, all three warships stopped in the offshore waters, waiting for the Western Qin cruiser to slowly approach.

And when the cruisers stopped close to the giant boat, one of the battleships strode out of the helm room, raised his head, looked at Zhang Huansheng, who happened to be probing downward, and said: "Who are you, why do you drive a warship to invade my Western Qin territorial waters for no reason?" ”

"We are from the overseas states of the Yanhuang Great Chu Imperial Court, Zhang." Zhang Huansheng hurriedly replied: "I came to Xiqin to do business, but because of the unpredictable risk of crossing the wild ocean, I took a battleship, and I didn't want to offend Xiqin." ”

Captain Na Xiqin tilted his head in disbelief when he heard this, pointed to the giant boat in front of him and said: "I am afraid that such a warship can only be built with a silver mountain of the same size, but it can't carry much goods, and I am afraid that it will be lost to death if it is used for trade, and that merchant will build this kind of ship because he is afraid of the risks of navigation..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Huansheng had already harnessed the wind, jumped over, and fell from the deck of the giant boat to the cruising ship, looking at the stunned Captain Xiqin and said: "Maritime is just one of my identities, in addition, I am also the baron of Dongzhou Dachu, so my life is particularly valuable."

If you don't believe me, take me to the officer at the control dock and let me explain it to him personally. ”

Seeing that Zhang Huansheng abandoned the big boat and got on his own boat alone, the captain had actually believed his words, but it was related to the safety of the entire harbor, and he didn't dare to take risks, so after being stunned for a while, he saluted Zhang Huansheng with his fists crossed: "It turns out that Your Excellency is actually a nobleman from Dongzhou, which is really rude."

You are of a noble position, and I am only a small dock ranger from a municipal and middle-class civil family, so it is a good note that you propose to meet Captain Amidio, who is in charge of the docks of Aetius.

Let's go. ”
