The port of Tulum faces the stormy ocean.

The Lawrence Mountains, to which Mount St. Hilde belongs, are like a large python, winding up from the plateau for thousands of miles in the north, extending all the way to the south, and finally running out of energy, and the mountain has changed from steep and majestic to soft and smooth.

Mount St. Hilde, already the highest peak of the Lawrence Mountains at the southern end.

Further south from St. Hilde's Mountain, the Lawrence Mountains struggled with the last of their strength to form the Golden Fleece Cape and the Silver Bull's Cape, like two arms circled the stormy ocean, thus encircling the inland waters of Tulum Harbor.

The Silver Bull Point headland, just southwest of the port of Tulun, is almost the outermost circle of the port of Tulun.

Looking at the No. 1 old wharf, overlooking a beautiful bay, there is a 'kumquat hills' within a radius of several miles, surrounded by giant trees, green shade everywhere, from a distance, here at first glance it looks like a primitive jungle, there is no trace of human life.

In the middle of this towering greenery, in the Kumquat hills, mansions of considerable scale are separated from each other by metal fences entwined with flowers and vines and greenery.

Each mansion here has its own small road leading to the port of Tulum, and the intersections are far apart, putting on a posture of not disturbing each other, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.

The woods here are perennially filled with sturdy men in hunting suits and armed with firearms, and the ordinary citizens of Tulum Harbor are relentlessly admonished and expelled if they come close.

This is the consular quarter of the port of Tulum.

The Kingdom of the Ice Sea, the Republic of Gaul, the Kingdom of St. Chia...... On the mainland of Metland, there are nearly 100 countries, large and small, strong or weak, and there are consulates of more than 60 countries, which fall in the Kumquat Hills.

Next to the Kumquat Hill, almost on the seashore, a three-story mansion with white walls, red roofs, brick and tile structures, rich in the local flavor of Tulun Port, was surrounded by nearly a thousand subordinates brought by Qiao.

Among the neighbors to the left and right of this mansion, people came out one after another, standing in the courtyard, surprised and with a hint of inexplicable anger, looking at this group of armed sailors who suddenly broke in.

The 'Kumquat Block' is a large area nearby, with small independent buildings arranged along two avenues, and the living environment is a little more than the wealthy area of Tulum Port.

Residents here are basically connected to consulates of various countries, either as their related households, or as their employees, or simply as diplomats in the consulates.

For decades, Kumquat neighborhood has been extremely safe, orderly, quiet and peaceful, and there has never been any violence. Thousands of people suddenly broke in like this, heavily armed, and this was something that had never happened before.

"Great Mu! Who are you? What do you want to do? Across the street from the fenced house, a middle-aged man wearing the regular uniform of the Ice Sea Kingdom Navy and a pestle and cane in his hand walked out with an angry expression.

"The Great Mu is on top...... It's none of your business, sir. Joe stood in the middle of the road, surrounded by dozens of family guards, and when he heard the middle-aged man's scolding, he turned around, took off his heavy, stuffy helmet, raised his right hand, and saluted him casually.

"Do you know this family?" Joe quietly gave a set to the middle-aged man in the navy uniform.

"Sorry, I don't know him." The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and brought into full play the fine tradition of the gentlemen of the Ice Sea Kingdom of 'if there is no benefit, they will protect themselves'.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Qiao curiously: "However, this is a sensitive area after all, although this is not the direct territory of the consulates of various countries, but the residents here are all people with status." I hope that you will not spoil the peace and security here. ”

"Sorry, I can't guarantee that." Qiao said with a grin: "There are criminals hiding here, you and criminals are neighbors, if you are harmed in any way, I can be a witness to support you to claim compensation from criminals!" ”

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and a loud noise was heard in the compartment, and several guards of the Vetu family got a heavy oak stump from somewhere, shouting and knocking down the courtyard gate of the mansion.

"You have invaded the mansion of the good people!" In the small three-story building, there was a mixture of horror and anger, obviously with a hint of disbelief screaming.

"In the name of the law, you are doomed!" Joe squinted, he traced all the way from the docks, and those crimson trails did return here.

Moreover, two of them are now staying in the small building.

Far apart, especially through the thick brick walls, Joe could only be sure that there were two people left in the small building, but he couldn't see what they were in now.

Nearly a hundred subordinates of the Weitu family rushed into the courtyard, in groups of three or five, covering each other, and rushed towards the small building.

"One step closer, and we'll shoot!" In the small building, the man just now issued a warning voice: "The laws of the kingdom have granted us the sacred and inviolable right of self-defense. ”

"This is the territory of the Empire, which kingdom are you from? Ice Kingdom? The Kingdom of St. Sia? United Kingdom of Nice? Qiao Shun announced the names of three powerful kingdoms.

"The queen is above, they are not from the Ice Sea Kingdom." Holding a cane, a middle-aged man in a navy uniform walked briskly back to his small building, while not forgetting to turn back to Qiao and shout loudly: "The Ice Sea Kingdom has nothing to do with this conflict. ”

'Boom'.

Two sailors dropped two dropping bombs at the door of the building, and the bombs smashed the gate directly.

'Boom, boom', there was a gunshot immediately, and the subordinates of the Weitu family quickly dispersed left and right, avoiding the bullets from the small building, and then opened fire one after another, and fought back strongly towards the building.

On the second floor of the small building, a window was smashed by a high-backed chair, and a flintlock pistol held in one arm just stretched out.

A terrible howl rang out, and the arrow pierced the elbow of the arm, pinning it tightly to the window frame.

"Damn, shit, you damn bastards! You are attacking the diplomats of the kingdom, and you are blatantly trampling on the Public Foreign Law...... Ah, this is an encroachment on the kingdom, and your actions are tantamount to war! ”

The man with his arm pinned to the window frame let out an angry roar as he pulled out the Public Foreign Law to act as a talisman.

The Public Foreign Affairs Law, jointly issued by the major powers of Medland, generally overrides the national codes and has a special priority. Among them, there are numerous legal provisions that highlight the protection of the personal safety of diplomats.

Generally speaking, diplomats have 'immunity', and even if they commit murder, they can only be extradited to their home country and tried under the laws of their own country.

Joe spat on the ground.

Public Foreign Law? What's that?

Although he is an excellent graduate of the Judicial College of Port Tulum, he is sorry to study police as a major.

Don't say that there is no course in Public Diplomacy at all in the police major, even if there is, he Young Master Qiao skips classes and fights all day long, where does he have time to learn these things that may not be used in his life?

"The cannon is coming, the cannon is coming!" The subordinates of the Weitu family, who surrounded the small courtyard, suddenly cheered, and with the sound of messy footsteps, two thirty-five-millimeter field guns placed on the gun carriage were pushed over.

The middle-aged man holding a cane and wearing a navy uniform had not yet entered his house, when he heard the noise on the street, he subconsciously glanced back, and then his eyes widened suddenly: "The queen is on top...... May the Ice Sea Monsters eat their heads! ”

With two loud bangs, two 35-millimeter solid lead bullets whistled out, one left and one right, accurately hitting the walls on the left and right sides of the gate of the target small building.

A hole the size of a basin was broken in the wall, and the terrible howl of a man after being injured could be heard in the hall on the first floor.

Suddenly, some of the subordinates of the Weitu family, who went around to the back of the small courtyard and surrounded the small courtyard from the rear, shouted loudly: "There is a secret passage, there is a dark passage, the secret passage leads to the sea, they have a small speedboat, they are preparing to escape!" ”

One of the leaders of the guards of the Vetto family roared loudly: "Can't run away, they can't run away!" ”

Several of the leaders of the Rittal sailors rushed to the back of the small courtyard, stood on the seashore, raised their hands high, and waved vigorously the blood-colored signal flag embroidered with golden roses on their hands.

Not far away, near the middle of the Silver Bull Point headland, behind a few reefs jutting out of the sea, four fast frigates with long and narrow bodies and full of sails were like four vicious sharks, tearing a long white wake on the surface of the sea and quickly rushing towards this side.

A small speedboat more than ten feet long and could only accommodate three or five people also raised its spinnaker, and just rushed out of a pile of rocks on the beach, when he suddenly saw the frigate flying several miles away, and several men on the speedboat suddenly became a mess.

"Dock, dock! Otherwise, shoot on the spot! The leader of the sailors with the blood-colored signal flag shouted loudly.

In the distance, the bow guns of the four frigates let out a low roar.

From a distance, I saw four clouds of smoke rising up, and after a while, accompanied by the sharp sound of cannonballs skimming the air, four shells fell in the nearby sea, blowing up a column of water more than ten meters high.

The nearest shell was less than a hundred feet from the runabout.

A few minutes later, the building was conquered, and the armed sailors of the Wittu family occupied the entire building and began a reckless, digging-deep search.

Four ocean-going frigates of the Rita Rose Chamber of Commerce crossed the hull and lined up in the bay of the Kumquat hills. On each frigate, twenty-five large-caliber naval guns on one side, a total of 100 naval guns poked out the swarthy muzzles, silently shocking everyone in the Kumquat neighborhood.

Farther away, two third-class battleships of the Tulun Port Navy, like two giant whales, were slowly heading towards this direction.

Several men in the runabout were brought to Joe.

An inconspicuous middle-aged man in a black coat smiled bitterly at Joe and raised his hands: "I am Yanan Don St. Frando, the envoy of the Kingdom of Saint Chia. ”

"I won't say a word until I see our Minister Plenipotentiary in the Delun Empire!"

Joe pulled out the baton from his waist and slammed it into Yanan's lower abdomen.

"I know you...... You cunning fellow. Joe looked at Yanan, who fell to the ground and convulsed, and suddenly remembered who this guy was.
