The purpose of the fishing had been achieved, and Bai Qi ordered the sailors to lower the flag of a small city-state that was flying on the cargo ship, and raised the flag of the city-state of Leoni and his own family on all three boats at the same time.

The sight of two pirate warships flying the flag of the Leoni city-state was not uncommon on the Soro River behind a Leony aristocratic merchant ship, which undoubtedly showed that there was another unsightly water thief who wanted to rob the merchant ship of the Leoni city-state, but the other party seized the ship.

Many lone merchant ships unescorted by warships even approached and followed the strange fleet from a distance.

When Bai Qi entered the port of Leoni City with this strange fleet, the port guard seemed to have become accustomed to the fact that the fleet with this kind of family crest always did some strange things, and did not face the enemy like the previous two times, and the reaction was obviously much slower than the last time, and the two warships approached the fleet slowly, got on the ship and checked it hastily, and then waved it away.

After the fleet docked, Bai Qi asked Adrian to deal with the two captured pirate ships. Let Barian and Bode return to the Merchant Castle first.

He himself, with Roundup and a few sailors, called a few wagons, and pulled two large boxes towards the temple in the center of the city.

Rounda looked at Bai Qi dressed as a woman, and couldn't help frowning, although Bai Qi told him that the reason why he did this was to avoid a powerful enemy, Rounda still didn't think so.

Coming to the temple, Bai Qi first visited the consuls.

The archon, who was lazily sitting in a wide chair, glanced at the large wooden box full of treasures in front of Bai Qi, and his eyes quickly turned to Bai Qi's face.

He touched his chin and smiled playfully. Said lightly: "What a rich gift!" What reason do I have to refuse? But before accepting the gift, will our Elder Sylvester satisfy my little curiosity? ”

The Archon's words sounded strange. But Bai Qi seemed to understand what he meant, and he didn't find it strange at all.

Bai Qi bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency the Wise Archon." I never thought I would be able to deceive your eyes like a torch, my real identity is Lucas of Yasuo City, because I offended the archon family and the Great Warrior of Yasuo City, so I had to appear under a false guise. Odina and Morin also had to change their faces because they offended the Great Warrior of Winster in Mawson City. ”

Borg is the name of the tiger in this world, and Winster is the name of the team leader of the Knights Hospitaller in this world, and after such a long time, a large number of powerful space soldiers have been drawn out and not only have gained high positions in various city-states. It has also spread a great reputation among the human city-states.

After speaking, Bai Qi did not hesitate to reach out and remove the disguise on his face.

The archon looked at Bai Qi, rubbed his chin, and muttered, "Lucas? Well...... I've heard your name, as if a of the Bahraini family has waged a family blood war against you? Borg? Winster? You guys have a lot of trouble, and it's strange that many previously unknown samurai have suddenly emerged recently. ”

With that, the archon raised his head and glanced at Bai Qi and Nonda behind him. With a playful smile on his face, he asked, "For the sake of your sumptuous gifts, I accept your reasons for the time being, then." What do you want to get? ”

Bai Qi said: "Your Excellency, I want to get the qualification to form a private army and form a private fleet. Grab more feats in the near future. ”

Without waiting for the Archon to say anything, Bai Qi continued, "I have another piece of information that may be very important to share with Your Excellency the Archon. ”

Archon: "Oh? ”

"Your Excellency. In the process of sweeping the fishmen, I came across a strange golden-scaled fishmen. Their leader was fluent in human language, and from the mouth of this fish, I learned that there had been a coup d'état among the Golden Scale Clan on the shores of Blackwater Lake, and that the source of the coup was a group of trolls who had crossed the Greystone Mountains. ”

Hearing this, the archon's face gradually became solemn, and he made a gesture to Bai Qi to continue.

Bai Qi continued: "I went to Blackwater City once some time ago......"

The Archon interrupted him, "You still have a relationship with the water thieves in Blackwater City? ”

Bai Qi hurriedly explained: "No, Your Excellency, do you know that I have a first mate named Gunde, and his father is the former fleet commander of the city-state of Stya, Drake? General Horsen, whose father found a new passage through the Blackwater Swamp that even the water thieves didn't know was able to pass through the Blackwater Swamp. Your Excellency, you know, it is difficult for me to get a battleship by normal means, so I hit the idea on the pirates, and the new battleship I got some time ago was tricked from Blackwater City......"

After listening to Bai Qi's brief account of the process of deceiving the battleship, the archon showed a funny look and said, "Elder Lucas, I have to say that you are a bold guy. ”

Bai Qi bowed and saluted, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

The archon waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, tell me what you found in Blackwater City?" ”

Bai Qi said: "We heard in Blackwater City that the fishmen actually learned simple shipbuilding techniques, and with the boat, the fishmen who did not dare to enter the deep water area before greatly increased their range of activities, often going deep into the lake, attacking the fishermen of Blackwater City, and the water thieves also had several conflicts, and the two sides won and lost each other. ”

The archon rubbed his chin and asked, "Do you think the change in the fish-people was caused by the trolls?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Yes, Your Excellency, the leader of the Golden Scale Fish People I met is the prince of the Golden Scale Clan of Blackwater City who was forced into exile because of the coup, and he knows the inside story of the coup very well. ”

"So what do you think we should do?"

"Your Excellency, I think that the enemy of our enemies is our friend, and if the trolls are also going to get involved in the war between humans and orcs, and use the golden-scaled fishmen to cause trouble for me, then why don't we use the exiled fish-man prince to trouble them? We can fully support the Golden Scale Prince to reclaim his throne, whether the Golden Scale Prince succeeds or not, at least the Golden Scale Clan can be plunged into civil strife, and we can solve this big problem with very little effort. ”

Listening to Bai Qi's words, the archon fell silent. He tapped lightly on the chair's deputy, and thought quietly.

After a long time. He looked up at Bai Qi and said, "Your opinion is good, but it's not good enough. Since you've been to Blackwater, I think you've heard about the fact that the ruler of Blackwater, the leader of the Blackwater Bandits, Lord Sasen, wants to turn Blackwater into a new human city-state, right? ”

Bai Qi said: "Yes, Your Excellency, I have heard this kind of rumor, and Your Excellency Sasen has taken advantage of the crisis brought by the fish-people to start building a castle on the southern plains of Blackwater City and reclaiming the land. ”

The Archon nodded. Clapping his hands, a Senator walked in and fell to one knee before the archon.

The archon said, "Go and bring in President Holmen of the Rogge Chamber of Commerce." ”

The guard saluted, then turned and walked out.

After the guards left, the archons fell silent, and Bai Qi and Nonda could only wait in silence.

About half an hour later, the guard walked in with a burly, bald man.

After the guards left the main hall, the archon pointed to the bald man and said, "Holmon is the representative of His Excellency Tharson of Blackwater City in Leoni City. ”

Bai Qi suddenly realized that Blackwater City and Leoni City-State had been in contact for a long time. It seems that Captain Blackwater has long had plans to whitewash Blackwater City.

After introducing the bald man, the archon said to Holmen: "The reason for the change in the Clans of the Golden Scaled Fishmen in the Blackwater Lake, our Elder Lucas has found out, and the trolls on the other side of the Limestone Mountain are involved in the internal affairs of the Golden Scale Clan. Plotted the overthrow of Chief Karn, who was interested in cooperating with Blackwater, and taught the Fishmen how to build ships. I suspect that the Trolls will also be involved in the upcoming orc invasion, and they may well intend to develop the Golden Scale Clan into a nail hiding behind us. This will never be tolerated, and you go back and sue Lord Sù Sassen. The threat of the Golden Scale Kingdom must be eliminated if Blackwater plays a sufficient role in the future war against the orc invasion. I don't mind having another human city-state on the banks of the Salo. ”

Holmen bowed and said, "Your Excellency the Great Consul, the Golden Scale Kingdom is a huge fish-man tribe with a population of nearly 30,000 people, and it is impossible to defeat the Golden Scale Kingdom with the strength of our Blackwater City alone. ”

The archon waved his hand and said, "There is no need to defeat the Kingdom of the Golden Scales, our enemies are not the Fishmen, but those Troll Emissaries, all we have to do is to make the Fishmen fall to us, not the trolls." ”

Speaking of this, he pointed at Bai Qi and said, "Elder Lucas has found Prince Kaka, the heir of Karn, the old chief of the Golden Scale Clan, what we have to do is to use the prestige left over from the centuries of the Aka family's rule to help Prince Kaka return to the throne, as long as we do this, I think Prince Kaka will kill those trolls for us." Even if we can't get Prince Kaka back on the throne, as long as we plunge the Fish-Man Peninsula into the quagmire of war, we will succeed. ”

After listening to the Archon's words, Holmen was about to say something, but the Archon waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "I will appoint Elder Lucas as the secret envoy to Blackwater City, and have full authority to handle this matter on my behalf, you can go down and discuss the details, and now you can step down." ”

Holmen didn't dare to say more, and after bowing respectfully to the archon, he nodded to Bai Qi and withdrew from the main hall.

After Holmen left, the archon said to Bai Qi: "I can allow you to set up a private army in wartime, but after the war, the Senate will take back the command of the private army, do you still want to form a private army?" ”

After saying this, the archon's eyes staring at him became a little stern.

Bai Qi said without hesitation: "Your Excellency, the reason why I want to set up a private army is just to grab more merits in future wars, and I am willing to hand over the command of the private army after the war is over." ”

The consul nodded and said: "Very good, from today onwards, you can restore your original face, in order to escape from the enemy, you disguised yourself as a woman, it is really a shame for the Leoni people, hum!" If it weren't for your past merits, I would have deprived you of your citizenship of Leony. ”

Pointing to the chest on the ground, the Archon said, "For the sake of your abundant gifts, I will cover your foolish deeds for you, and declare that your former disguise is for the secret mission I have given you. ”

Bai Qi sighed in his heart, maybe the identity of the patriarch of Leoni City can block the pursuit and killing from the Balin family of the city-state of Thorin, but it definitely can't stop the pursuit from the space soldiers, this order of the archon can be said to completely disrupt Bai Qi's plan, but at this time he has no room for opposition, so he can only agree to it.

In fact, Bai Qi had long thought that he and Adrian would be discovered by Leoni City in disguise, especially after he obtained the identity of the Senate of Leoni City, Leoni City would definitely investigate their origins, and the sailors they recruited later must have Leony City spies.

Bai Qi's true colors have long been exposed in front of Gunde and a few people, and they can't give up these powerful subordinates, and it is only a matter of time before their identities are exposed.

Fortunately, they have a last resort reason for disguising their identities, and there is no misconduct towards Leoni City, Bai Qi judged that with the relatively relaxed political environment of the city-state system, even if the disguise is exposed, there should not be much danger, Bai Qi brought such a heavy gift this time, in fact, he intends to solve this matter.

What Bai Qi didn't expect was that the consuls would be so disgusted with their male and female disguises, and even directly ordered them to give up their disguises, which was undoubtedly the last thing he wanted to see. (To be continued......) R1292
