Chapter 180: The Potential Threat of the South Seas (Part II)

Even the records say that when the war was lost, the other side did not rush to rout and flee, but even tried to hit the force and snatch a small imperial warship! They wanted to grab an imperial warship and go back to study!??

After reading that information, Du Wei also sighed for a while: This is clearly a signal of the rise of civilization, but the military bosses of the empire did not pay attention to it - because, after that tragic battle, the United Kingdom of the South Seas seems to be weakened again, probably because of the tragic naval battle, which caused their entire fleet to be destroyed, and their vitality was greatly damaged and collapsed.

There were even some merchant ships that had gone to the South Seas to bring news that the so-called United Kingdom had been dissolved because of the defeat in the war.

At the end of this information, Count Raymond, the former commander of the local military, wrote down a few words of his opinion with his pen, and this view, in the opinion of Du Wei, was very correct!

"It is recommended that the Empire concentrate its forces and form a large-scale expeditionary fleet, at least three times larger than the existing fleet, and transport a number of land forces with the fleet. And it is necessary to find a way to truly incorporate the waters of the South Seas into the territory of the Empire, to station troops there, to change guards regularly, and to cultivate local forces, or to directly appoint officials by the Empire to manage them, and if necessary, to force the migration from the mainland! Strive to make those South Seas regions truly become new provinces of the Empire within 30 years! This move will bring a huge burden to the Empire's finances. However, in order to prevent the situation in the South Seas from evolving into a new northwest in the future, and to prevent future disasters, It is worthwhile to eradicate the hidden threat for the Empire."

Du Wei thinks that these ideas are very correct, but it seems that although Count Raymond has this idea, it seems that the empire has not attracted attention. After all, the strength of the Rollin family is still temporarily limited to the military, and the old emperor is getting old and mediocre, and the empire's finances are tight, all of which have seriously weakened the national strength of the empire.

Du Wei quickly thought about all the information he knew in his head, and then squinted his eyes, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking, Du Wei looked at this old Benka: "The Great Sacrifice of the United Kingdom of the South Seas?"

“...... It's the ground." Old Benka seems to have completely succumbed: "In the United Kingdom, the Great Sacrificial Land exists, almost the equivalent of the Imperial Land...... Pope of the Temple."

Du Wei was really moved!

His Majesty the Pope of the Temple Land can almost be said to be on an equal footing with the Emperor in the Imperial Land! At least in terms of title, only the Emperor and the Pope can be qualified to be called "Your Majesty"!

However, compared to the unlimited authority and scenery of the papal territory within the empire...... Even if the United Kingdom is a rude or even backward and barbaric place, this great sacrifice is so miserable, it is too hard to believe, right?

"Just a few years ago...... There was a civil unrest in the United Kingdom." Benka reluctantly explained: "A few years ago, the decisive battle against your Imperial Expeditionary Fleet was a wrong decision, but the Titlers gained the upper hand in the United Kingdom, and the Settlers were sidelined, and the Titriots were eager to concentrate their forces on driving out the invaders, and were too optimistic about the situation, and the result was ...... After the war, the United Kingdom almost collapsed for a time, and the internal doubts were very strong, and the defeat was a very big blow to everyone's confidence, because almost all of our forces were gathered, and we could not defeat an expeditionary fleet in your empire. He was one of the largest landed chiefs in the land at that time, and after the war, his ground landing force was the most lost, and he had to step down in the end."

Benka said this, and glanced at Du Wei: "Unlike your empire, your emperor is hereditary, but the king of our United Kingdom is elected by many tribes, the previous king abdicated because of defeat, and then everyone lost confidence in the United Kingdom, and no one even wanted to be the king. More people wanted to go back and prepare to migrate, rather than resisting uselessly. Later, it was ...... by several high priests."

"How many?" said Du Wei.

"Yes, we don't have religious power in the hands of one person, you only have one pope here, but we have four high priests." Benka explained, and then continued: "The high priests discussed together, and finally elected a king of the new land, who was also a powerful tribal leader, but his prestige and wisdom were not enough to lead us against the invaders, so ...... We all know this, and the king has agreed with us that he will help you to take charge of the situation for the time being, but hopefully we will find a suitable person in the next few years."

Du Wei smiled, "Oh?

"And then ......" Benka said this, hesitated again, but looking at Du Wei's cold eyes, the old guy felt a chill in his heart, and said helplessly: "We sacrifices have decided to go together to find the 'Lost Race', only by finding the legendary 'Race of the Gods', relying on its influence, can our United Kingdom be reunited and cohesive."

"The Race of the Gods, the Lost Race?" Du Wei vaguely felt that this title was somewhat familiar, he vaguely heard the former Earl of Raymond's subordinate land veterans mention that there is such a legend in the South Seas, but he knew that the land was not real.

It's just that in front of this old guy, Du Wei pretended to know everything, and said with a faint smile: "The land is indeed a good way, only by finding the legendary land clan, can you use their prestige to subdue your land United Kingdom."

Sure enough, Old Benka was deceived by Du Wei's pretending appearance, and he nodded: "It's a pity that I was traveling in the South Seas while looking for a place, but I happened to meet your expeditionary force, and I was unfortunately captured."

"And you've been carefully hiding your identity?" said Du Wei.

"It's the ground." Benka nodded: "My identity is a great sacrifice, and I'm worried that the people here will know my identity...... It's going to be dangerous.I've been hiding my identity.I'm just hoping to live safely.I'm not afraid of death.But I have a lot of responsibilities on me, and I can't die easily!"

Du Wei smiled, "What about the young slaves who are with you? They seem to be different from ordinary people."

You see all the young people around me, they're all my followers, they're all trained to protect our people." A hint of regret flashed across Benka's face: "It's a pity that when I was captured, some of the fighters died in battle to protect me."

After a pause, Benka added: "They are the bravest warriors of our United Kingdom, and they have given up their lives at home to follow me, and have accompanied me across the vast expanse of the South Seas......

"There's no time to be sad." Du Wei said calmly: "You and I are at hostility, and it is normal for us to be killed or injured."

Old Ben Carmeran.

"So, the identity of that Lufik is ......" Du Wei smiled, "Could it be that he is the legendary native of that race?"

“...... It's not the ground." Old Benka shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "He...... He is not the earth, he is my son of the earth."

Son?

Du Wei smiled: "Benka, your lie is too deceitful."

"Really." Benka said: "Different from the people of your mainland temple, our great sacrifice there is a place where you can get married and have children, and our sacrifice positions are hereditary, and our children will be educated and cultivated in the sacrifice place since childhood, and when we die, the position of the sacrifice place will be inherited by them...... He is truly my son, please don't hurt him...... I can swear to our Father!!"

Looking at the sincere look of the old Benka, Du Wei was also a little uncertain.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on you, Mr. High Priest." Du Wei seemed to smile: "But, given your status, I will give you some preferential treatment, but you must not try to escape.

"Ruolin, bring that kid to me!"

Du Wei snapped, and soon, Ruolin brought the kid named Lufik to the room.

To the surprise of old Benca, there was not the slightest scar on Lufik's body......! And screaming......

Du Wei was laughing: "Ears and voices have deceived you."

In fact, in the next house just now, the two pirates just took out something to intimidate the child, and the whip sounded...... It's just the sound of a bag of leather being pumped out
