Chapter 343 [Female Butcher, Female Executioner]

Speaking of which, Ruolin's trip to the South Seas can indeed be regarded as full of twists and turns.

At the beginning, she took the old priest from Nanyang on the way back. The old Benka man was old and jīng, guessing that the other party was only afraid of taking the opportunity to draw a navigation map, and when he led the way, he deliberately took everyone around, but was recognized by Ruolin and taught him a hard lesson, and then settled down.

The Empire's expeditions to the South Seas, even the farthest places the fleets have reached, have been far from the Great Island of Brahman. And because of this, the Nanyang people living on Brahmin Island were at peace. Otherwise, if the empire had known that there was such a large island in the far reaches of the South Seas, it would be equivalent to the area of two provinces, almost equal to a small continent. What's more, there are also abundant products, if the empire knows about it, where is the reason not to lead troops to attack?

It's a pity that Lao Benka's plan was discovered, and this navigation map still allowed Ruolin to draw it smoothly.

After arriving on Brahmin Island, the situation faced was not so simple.

It turned out that since the last expedition of the Roland Empire's fleet and the establishment of the United Kingdom of Nanyang, the largest resistance was almost touched by the powerful navy of the empire, which made this new United Kingdom almost full of desperate ideas from top to bottom, and the big tribes united were even more scattered, and many people even made up their minds to move south to the farther southern seas.

And when Ruolin arrived with the fleet, there was an extremely fierce quarrel within the United Kingdom of the South Seas. Under the suffocating pressure of the behemoth of the Roland Empire, the major tribal chiefs within the United Kingdom have different positions. Pessimism prevailed, believing that people should abandon the island of Brahman, where they had lived for generations, and migrate south. Of course, there are also a small number of main battles, some fierce tribes. He advocated gathering forces to fight to the death with the Roland Empire to defend his homeland.

And what's even more strange is that in this phenomenon, a strange faction has actually been derived. There are several tribes of people. He even came up with a third way: to sue for peace with the Roland Empire.

But whether it is the escape faction, the main battle faction, or the peace-seeking faction. But they all agreed on one thing: they all seemed to have little interest in continuing to preserve the "kingdom." As for the current interim king of the United Kingdom, he is the most powerful tribal chief of these tribes. This patriarch deeply trusts the old priest. insisted on waiting until the great priest who had gone out to visit the descendants of the Father's tribe returned from the "land sacrifice", and then everyone discussed and decided.

Under such circumstances, Ruolin came to the giant island of Brahman with a huge fleet of eighty huge sea ships.

It is conceivable that after experiencing many invasions of the Roland Empire, the Nanyang people have developed an almost instinctive fear and hatred towards the Roland Empire.

So, when eighty giant sea vessels. When such a large fleet came to the Brahmins, it immediately caused panic. On land, greet Ruolin. It was the "United Kings ** team" that was hastily assembled after panic.

From the ship, these "armies" were seen in the distance. It almost made Ruolin's men laugh - if that could be counted as an army.

These natives, there is no uniform armor. There are not even uniform uniforms, many people are just wearing animal skins, and even some rattan "armor", and the weapons in their hands are also mottled and messy, with metal weapons, inferior bows and arrows, and even sharpened wooden sticks.

Ruolin deeply understands that in order to complete Du Wei's "blackmail" mission, then she must first "stand up"! Therefore, even though the great priest Lao Benka pleaded hard, the female knight still made a decision: to fight!!

Almost instantly, all the ballistae on the eighty huge ships were in unison, and the bows and arrows of the hundreds of Tulip Family guards on board were the first to be seen, causing heavy losses to the British troops.

Then the guys fled in panic.

The first one looked at the face, and it hurt and scared these Nanyang people. Subsequently, Lao Benka was sent ashore by Ruolin to communicate with the Nanyangs, and when the other party saw that the high priest had returned, he immediately held a meeting of the patriarchs, and then he had to welcome the female knight from the Roland Empire to land.

Ruolin did not let up, she ordered all the fleets to be ready for battle at all times, and ordered that no one should leave the ship, that no Nanyang boats should be allowed to approach her fleet, and that anyone who came within the range of her fleet would be killed.

Then, Ruolin swaggered, took a few entourages, took a small boat, and went ashore.

Next, she was greeted with great ceremonies all the way to a "city" in the island of Brahman, let's call it a "city". The Assembly of Patriarchs of the United Kingdom, after listening to the statement of the High Priest Lao Benka, learned that the "descendants of the Father's tribe" had been found, and the crowd immediately boiled.

After all, the power of Nanyang people's belief in God the Father is still very strong. Immediately, whether it was the main battle or the main peace or even the escape faction, most of the people thought that Xiao Lufik should be welcomed back.

However, there were two or three tribes who objected. They thought that they were going to be ready to leave and run away anyway, and that there was no need for a new king here. Then, it is not worth spending a huge price to welcome back a small child.

As a result, the argument turned into a quarrel. These guys even almost got into a fight in the end.

This quarrel lasted for ten days without getting a result, which made Ruolin extremely impatient. Finally, in front of all the patriarchs, the female knight said cruel words:

"If you refuse to pay any ransom, then I don't mind going back and ask our Lord Duke to cut that boy down at once! Moreover, I have come here with a large fleet, and I have returned empty-handed, and I cannot give an account to my master! Since you refuse to give money...... Then I'll have to take it myself!!I'll take my fleet back tomorrow, anyway, from here back to the Roland Continent, on the way to pass through countless islands, there are countless tribes of yours, big and small, I will go all the way to kill all the way. Kill all the way and grab all the way!"

That's shocking enough!

To be honest, the eighty giant sea ships brought by Ruolin are indeed terrifying. At least, even the expeditionary force of the Roland Empire had never had such a large number of ships coming—not even Du Wei's father. Count Raymond's expedition that year. It's just more than 30 boats.

However, Ruolin is actually bluffing. After all, her fleet was not the same as the navy of the Empire. Although her fleet was huge, there were no combatants on the eighty large ships. Only the sailor establishment remained. After all, these ships are coming to transport things and land, and if they come with a full load of troops, where is there room to transport things?

It seems that the fleet is huge, but in fact the force is not strong.

But this also scared the Nanyang people. They are not afraid of the Roland people coming ashore, but if Ruolin is allowed to swagger all the way back. Burn and loot all the way, although these great tribes living on the island of Brahman are not afraid. But after all, this patriarchal meeting also had a lot of people from the tribes on the surrounding islands. These people are not doing it.

Suddenly. There are many people who have fallen to the position of the great sacrifice of the old Benka.

On the evening of Ruolin's cruel words, a large number of Nanyang people came to the shore. Slaughtering pigs and sheep, melons, fruits and delicacies were sent to the fleet one after another, just to appease these terrible invaders from the Roland Empire.

And those tribes with a tough stance withdrew from the patriarchal assembly in anger, and even the chiefs of several tribes went back to prepare for war!

Ruolin saw all this, but she had already made a decision in her heart.

The following series of events fully show the growth of Ruolin as a female knight! Even after listening to Ruolin's narration, Du Wei couldn't help but sigh: What a Ruolin! What a female knight!!

It turned out that Ruolin watched coldly and saw clearly the internal contradictions between these Nanyang tribes, and she actually quietly brought people back to the ship, and that night, she mobilized manpower and transferred 800 of the combat personnel in the fleet out - this is already a limit. He quietly dispatched two large boats, and took advantage of the night to personally take eight hundred warriors and leave around Brahman Island in two large boats......

According to the results of the previous days of covert investigation, Ruolin circled the flank of Brahmin Island within three days, and then suddenly landed and attacked a tribe that was strongly opposed, five hundred jīng Rui Tulip family warriors, using superior weapons and armor, as well as clever combat skills, almost overnight, to overwhelm that tribe.

Beheaded thousands, slaughtered a tribe of tens of thousands of people, and then burned that tribe to ashes with a fire. After that, he did not stop at all, and took 500 jīng rui, went deep into Brahmin Island for 300 miles, and killed all the tribes in that area who opposed the great sacrifice and advocated welcoming back King Lufik to the ground.

The first time she led the troops to fight, but she won the essentials of "soldier and god speed", and suddenly attacked all the way in, like a bamboo, and all the tribes she arrived at were killed by these warriors of the Tulip family, who were equipped with jīng liang and fought fiercely. Just this time, Ruolin wiped out two small tribes in one go, and almost crippled a medium tribe. And the patriarchs of these three tribes, who were originally strongly opposed, were beheaded by Ruolin.

Of course, Ruolin's own five hundred jīng rui also lost a lot. However, in Ruolin's view, such a sacrifice is worth it.

The news reached the Patriarch Conference, and those guys who were still arguing were immediately shocked.

Ruolin's divine soldiers descended from the sky to send away, leaving those guys in danger. And in the end, the great priest Lao Benka, although he was very helpless about Ruolin's bloody practice in his heart, he also had to cooperate with Ruolin.

After Ruolin returned to the fleet by boat with hundreds of his subordinates, he no longer took the case, but sent someone to send the heads of the three tribal patriarchs killed by Ruolin to these Nanyangs, and also brought Ruolin's ultimatum: In three days, either give money, or, I will take someone to anchor and return to the sea!

In three days, great changes took place on Brahmin Island, and those small and medium-sized tribes who were scared by Ruolin immediately rallied around the "surrender faction" led by the great priest Lao Benka.

And the two tough big tribes were angered by Ruolin's actions, and went back to gather an army to take revenge. Du Wei nodded repeatedly.

"Then ......" Ruolin raised her eyebrows: "Then." Naturally, it was a war. "There are more than 20 tribes in existence, the largest of which has eight tribes, each of which has a population of several hundred thousand. Because of Ruolin's approach, coupled with the "surrender" of the Great Sacrifice Place. Make two hard-line tribes. In the end, the use of force was chosen to declare war.

However, the backwardness of weapons and civilization made them doomed to perdition from before the war.

These guys gathered about fifty thousand or so young warriors of the tribe, but unfortunately they couldn't attack Ruolin on the sea - even if these tribes had boats, but those small boats. It can't do any damage to the Wakarindi fleet yet.

Moreover, Ruolin once again showed her cleverness at this time. In the face of the fierce killing of tens of thousands of troops of the two tribes, as well as the small boats of those tribes, Ruolin ordered the whole army to lift anchor, and on the same day, without even saying hello, he led a fleet of eighty large ships. Leaving Brahmin Island.

Ruolin's "escape" made the two tribes immediately become arrogant, and they thought that their army had "scared away" Ruolin. And now that the war has begun. But they can't go back in vain. After losing their biggest "combat enemy" Ruolin, they and their soldiers. He could only turn his anger on the poor high priest Old Benka and the "surrender faction" he led.

Outcome. The 50,000 troops of the main battle faction attacked the "capital city" of the United Kingdom. And the great priest Lao Benka had to go to war for self-preservation, and all the "surrendered" tribes also united, gathered the armies of their respective tribes, and started a big war.

At the beginning, the Great Priest Lao Benka didn't want to make a big deal out of it, thinking that as long as he could protect himself, he would repel these hot-headed guys, and then find an opportunity to slowly pacify him.

However, once the war began, it was no longer under his control.

After all, there were so many tribes living in this land, and over the years, there have been contradictions and even feuds between the various tribes. With such a big deal, there were tribes who immediately took the opportunity to take revenge. No matter how hard the Great Priest Benka tried, he couldn't suppress the hatred, and the war escalated......

In the end, it almost evolved into the eight tribes in the upper part of the entire Brahmin island, which split into two factions and fought with each other.

And after the war lasted fifteen days, Ruolin, who had already led the fleet away, suddenly took her huge fleet and killed a horse pistol!

It turned out that Ruolin had never left, and after she had calculated all this, she left Brahmin Island with the fleet, made a big circle around the surrounding seas, stopped on a nearby island to recuperate, and wiped out two small tribes. Wait until the two sides are almost finished. Wakabayashi led the fleet to kill it back.

The huge fleet did not directly participate in the war between the two sides, but Ruolin repeated the old trick and transferred all the combatants in the fleet, leaving only the sailors who could barely maintain the fleet, and then took advantage of the weakness of the opponent's maritime defense to bypass the back of Brahmin Island and directly raid the hometowns of the two "main battle faction" tribes!

Eighty big ships, Ruolin gathered a total of 1,000 subordinates who could go into battle to fight, relying on the innate advantage of sneak attack, plus strong combat strength, superior weapons and equipment. Moreover, most of the young and strong soldiers of the two main war tribes were mobilized to fight the civil war in the capital of the United Kingdom, and the remaining forces were inevitably weakened. Ruolin made full use of these advantages, and as a result, a thousand people defeated the opponent's tens of thousands of left-behind soldiers, and then successfully took their hometown. Ruolin didn't want to kill more people, so she still followed the old method and wantonly set fires, burning the base camps of the two tribes to a scorched earth. Then let the old, weak, sick and disabled escape, and Ruolin did not chase after him.

As a result, the news from the rear reached the front, and the soldiers of the main battle faction got the news that their hometown had been copied, and immediately their morale fell to the bottom, and then they collapsed without a fight, and were defeated by the surrender army of the great sacrifice Lao Benka, and the two chiefs were also killed in battle and their heads were cut off.

In this battle, Ruolin skillfully provoked a civil war between the two sides, and eliminated the "hard-line main battle faction" in the United Kingdom of Nanyang, so that there was no longer a voice in the patriarchal assembly that dared to object. And. After the extermination of the two tribes, the land and population of the two tribes were also divided among the other tribes, and with the benefits, there was naturally no opposition. Even though there are some tribes who still have a whisper in their hearts. But see what happens to the naysayers. I didn't dare to speak.

In the end, the High Priest passed a decision at the meeting of chiefs to pay a ransom and welcome back to Lufik (their future king).

Next, it's time to negotiate the ransom amount. Ruolin had the upper hand. is even more unallowed, so that the Nanyang people are ruthlessly bloody. Eighty large ships, first emptied all the treasury of the United Kingdom! Then followed by the apportionment of one tribe after another, and finally, Ruolin searched for three months, squeezing out the last drop of oil and water from the Nanyang people on Brahmin Island! But he was not reconciled, and sent people to bring ships to the surrounding islands, and plundered one tribe after another.

At last. A huge fleet of eighty seagoing ships, fully loaded.

This back and forth. It lasted a year!

And on the South Sea Brahmin Island, those Nanyang people who were scraped by Ruolin miserably. then to this female knight from the Roland Continent. A series of nicknames: butcher, executioner...... How much money do we have now?" said Du Wei laughed.

Ruolin thought for a moment: "My lord, the South Seas are rich in gold and precious stones, as well as ivory and spices. These things are all scarce and valuable things on our continent. I brought back eighty large ships, I did some calculations on the way, and if I sold them all, I would get the numbers......"

Ruolin seemed to groan for a moment: "Based on the figure that the annual financial income of our Roland Empire is 60 million gold coins, this windfall of our land this time is probably worth the total financial income of the empire for five or six years!"

Even though Du Wei had already made psychological preparations in his heart for the total financial revenue of the empire in five or six years, he couldn't help but gasp when he heard this figure: "So much?!"

Ruolin nodded, but then the female knight smiled: "But it's not over yet. Your Excellency, I have brought back a fleet of ships and several envoys from the United Kingdom of the South Seas, who have asked to see you. Well, when I was on Brahmin Island, the big priest Lao Benka, in order to convince these people, introduced my background, and the master behind me is you, the Duke of Tulip in the Empire, and the old Benka also said that you are the current first-class magnate in the Empire, under one person, above ten thousand, the only person who can influence the emperor the most. These Nanyang people were frightened by our beatings, and the attendants sent this time came to sue for peace and surrender, and they begged the Roland Empire to stop its aggression against them, and in exchange, they were willing to pay a certain amount of wealth every year in exchange for peace. ”

Du Wei's eyes lit up and he glanced at Ruolin: "You promised them?"

Ruolin immediately shook her head solemnly: "Of course not, my lord, I am just your subordinate, how can I be qualified to be the master of such a big matter?" Ruolin will only listen to the orders of the adult, these important matters, of course, you have to decide. After a pause, seeing the satisfied smile on Du Wei's face, Ruolin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "However, I think I might as well agree to them." After all...... Speaking of which, I went a little too hard this time. Now the Nanyang people, I'm afraid there is really not much oil and water. It is conservatively estimated that within ten years, they will not want to recover. Even if the empire makes any more expeditions, I'm afraid it won't be able to extract anything from them. ”

Du Wei's face was solemn, he closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, and then made a decision in his heart.

He stood up, looked at Ruolin, and said solemnly: "Ruolin, you have done a good job in this matter, and I am very satisfied! In the future, you don't have to stay at sea, after this time, you go back to the northwest with me and serve in the tulip family's army! Hehe! I didn't expect you to have a great talent for leading troops, since you have made great contributions this time, I will not treat you badly, I will appoint you as the commander of the army first, and bring thousands of soldiers first...... Don't be too low, there will be a big war about to start, as long as you do a good job, in the future, you will be the first female general under my command

Ruolin immediately took two steps back and knelt on one knee, a solemn knightly courtesy.

Du Wei glanced at her and continued: "Also, for the warriors who died in Nanyang with you this time, you also made a list for me, their families' pensions...... All distributed tenfold!

When the matter came here, it was all reported, Ruolin had traveled a long way, and she looked quite tired, Du Wei was about to let her go down to rest, but Ruolin suddenly remembered another thing: "My lord, I came back from Nanyang this time, and I brought something with me." This thing is said to be left by those gods in the ancient temple, after the temple was destroyed by a mountain fire, the descendants of those gods wandered into the world, brought this thing down, and there was an original version of the first to be kept in the treasury of the United Kingdom, and later those noble chiefs, who thought that these were auspicious things left by the gods, also copied a set of their own preservation. But...... No one knows what these things are used for. Your Excellency, you instructed me to pay more attention to some strange things when I went this time, so after I knew that this thing existed, those clan stations saw that I was interested, so they took out a set and asked me to bring it back. ”

After saying that, Ruolin immediately went out, and after a while, she came in with a long wooden box from her bag. It was solemnly placed in front of Du Wei.

"Oh, left by the gods?" Du Wei muttered inwardly. Could it be that Aragonese is left behind?

He took a deep breath, opened the box with a solemn face, glanced inside, and immediately made a face, as if someone had suddenly stuffed seven or eight eggs into Du Wei's mouth.

Du Wei looked at the contents of the box dumbfounded, and the expression on his face didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"This ...... Is this the thing?" he squeezed out a sentence in his throat.

Ruolin was curious: "This is it...... Lord, you seem to recognize me?"

Du Wei reached out and stroked the neatly stacked rows of things in the box.

10,000, 90,000, 8 handles, 2 ...... South-east-northwest wind ......

Damn, this ...... This......

Isn't this *** mahjong!!

In my mind, a picture suddenly flashed out: thousands of years ago, in the temple of the sacred mountain on Brahmin Island, countless natives under the mountain prostrate in the direction of the temple, and in the temple, Aragorn sat at a table with his disciples of the gods with a cigarette in his mouth, and after touching a card, he yelled: "Draw yourself!

Du Wei: "......
