Chapter 168: Diplomacy
The nearest airship dock on Remilet Island is starting to fill up, and there used to be only three airships from the Kingdom of Novaya Zemlya, which departed from the village of Dama and the Deep Sea Harbor to travel between the island of Remirete and the Deep Island, but now there are large airships coming directly from the mainland of the Kingdom of Novaya Zemlya. And just a few days ago, for the first time, large airships from other countries arrived, which forced the unnamed port to send additional personnel to start building a new airship dock - fortunately, it was quick and easy to set up.
The people of other countries who came down from the airship were quite arrogant, completely treating the inhabitants of Remirete as hillbillies, and without saying a word, they regarded the inhabitants of Remirete as nothing, and directly ignored the fact that Remirete Island was also considered to have a master, and went deeper in this way. Of course, none of the guys who did this made it back to the docks, and the inhabitants of the docks were not angry at all, speaking of which, most of the inhabitants of the docks were humans and humanoids, and there were a few centaurs, all of whom had lived on this island for many years, and some of them were born on this island at all, and they watched with mockery as the group of foreigners went to die, and they didn't want to advise them at all.
The visitors of the kingdom of Novaya Zemlya are still polite, they have just been educated by the monsters of this island. The people who stayed on board the airship felt that something was wrong, and immediately said that they would hold the people of Remiret accountable - as if they had been robbed and killed by the inhabitants. Of course no one paid any attention to them, but then it seemed that the gang was about to use force - all the men of the dock were ordered to leave quickly, leaving the foreigners there. When they returned to the dock village after a week, they found the wreckage of a broken airship all over the ground. "Oops. Doesn't it look like a fierce fight?" sighed as if gloating. Of course, soon someone shouted: "There are at least four wrecks of airships here, and the others should have left in time - of course, it is difficult to say that they were destroyed in the open sea, but at the moment there is not a single surviving person in this place." ”
Indeed, the remnants of the dock now have scorched marks everywhere, as well as huge claw marks all over the ground, and several unlucky dead ones can be seen, who are either scorched or torn to shreds. By this time, the seasoned hunters had basically figured out what had happened—they had indeed escaped the monster attack after receiving the order from the Black Tower, "Look at the guy who came to attack like this, it's not small! This paw print is that of a male fire dragon! But this is the first time I've seen such a big paw print!"
But the paw prints that people recognize are only male fire dragons. They hadn't even seen the other paw prints - it was normal, it was not only the fire dragon that attacked the docks, but also the sea dragon and the ancient dragon species, and there was even a beast dragon species whose power was not below the ancient dragon species, Zhou Zhongmou, but as a (suspected) ancient dragon species of the tooth beast species, he watched this qiē happen in the sky. The attack came very quickly, and those guys from the other kingdoms had no idea how powerful these things were, and they were almost done in the blink of an eye. Some people saw the opportunity very quickly, and quickly drove the airship away - but behind them it was a silver fire dragon that attacked the dock, although Zhou Zhongmou didn't see the end, but looked at the silver fire dragon chasing away, "These guys are not good at all!"
None of the visitors from the Kingdom of Novaya Zemlya are fine. Even their airships were fine—they knew what to do when they had suffered, and when they saw the inhabitants of Remiret Island on the docks running away. They quickly drove away in the airship. This first expedition to Remilet Island was a failure - for the mainland countries. The news of the defeat came from the merchants of the Novaya Zemlya Kingdom, and of course a small number of them were told by the emissaries who had escaped by chance. From now on, the mainland countries will have to look at Remirete Island with great importance - those powerful monsters have exceeded their imagination, but fortunately, even the relatively close kingdom of Novaya Zemlya has not been attacked by these monsters - except for the Sea Kings, it seems that these monsters will only survive on Remirete Island. The kingdom of Novaya Zemlya did try to catch shield crabs and sickle crabs from Remirete Island and raise them on the sandy beaches and rocky shores of Novaya Zemlya, but without exception they could not breed them, and finally failed - such an experiment was done by the Kingdom of Novaya Zemlya for more than 100 years, and finally they had no choice but to import high-grade crab carapaces from Remirete Island - of course, now that they have Deep Island, it is estimated that this problem can be solved.
The allure of the chaffinite was immense, and the envoys of the second time figured out their status and identity, and they handed in their credentials in a serious manner, and then waited for the inhabitants of the island to take them on the road and enter the legendary capital of the black tower. In their opinion, the black tower is a small and medium-sized city on the mainland, but the exaggerated and magnificent black tower that merges with the mountain is a rare magical sight on the continent - there are similar buildings on the continent, which are also left over from the distant magical era, such as the imperial capital of the old Berken Empire, and the main body of Sanssouci Palace is also a huge palace complex formed as a single body, like a mountain. Under the majestic black tower, these envoys finally paid a little respect to the dictator of the city - or rather, the dictator of the "country", Zhou Zhongmou. That's right, the first thing that countries do when they come to Remirete is to recognize Remiret as an independent "state".
This is not only out of disgust with the kingdom of Novaya Zemlya, but also because no one wants to see this huge rich island become the "private property" of a certain country, and since no one can do it, it is most appropriate to recognize this island as a country. Of course, a bunch of titles were also given to Zhou Zhongmou in various state letters, and Zhou Zhongmou suddenly found that he now had several titles such as dukes, earls and marquises. Of course, without exception, the letter of state also put forward a request for trade, and Zhou Zhongmou agreed to it with a stroke of his pen as usual. It also agreed to the elevation of diplomatic relations to the level of ambassadors in the letters of state, and also allowed the countries to send exploration teams to explore the islands, in which the envoys of these countries unanimously demanded that the interests be treated equally.
Of course, the envoys also saw the magic mechs who seemed to be standing on duty outside the super council hall of a savage tribe, and they could also see the magic mechs flying around in the sky in formation, of course, these guys were very interested - since the appearance of the floating battleship, all the countries on the mainland felt that the sky would become very important, and the airship in the past was equivalent to withdrawing from the front line of the army after the floating battleship appeared, and it was no longer suitable for the front-line operations in the future. At present, except for Belken, which already has a practical floating battleship, other countries are at different distances from floating battleships, and now that they see another weapon that can fly, and the agility and speed seem to be above that of airships, it is natural that they immediately try to obtain further information.
Zhou Zhongmou was not a secret about this, although the envoys could not enter the barracks to take a closer look at the weapon-of course, there were no alchemists and military researchers accompanying the visit, but this did not prevent them from taking the opportunity to carefully observe the details of the magic machine soldiers on duty at the door when entering and leaving Zhou Zhongmou's "palace".
