Chapter 405: Meeting at Sea (2)
A gust of wind blew, and Robert's triangle cap, which had a big circle on his head, was shaking, forcing him to reach out to hold on to the hat.
At the same time, the two close warships were also pushed by waves and pressed tightly together. The oak boards on the hull squeezed each other and made a creaking sound. The thrust generated by the squeeze pushed the two ships away, but after straightening the hook and iron chains connecting the two ships, the giant ships were dragged together.
As they returned and forth, both ships shook slightly, and the swing of the warship caused the distracted Robert, who was holding the hat, to fall down unsteadily.
The Garen-class warship under Robert's feet is a newly established second-generation Garen-class. The height of the ship's side is specially built a little higher than that of the Fearless Class. Therefore, Robert's position at this time is slightly higher than that of Obi Lenn, and his almost miserable appearance of falling down should not be visible.
Grasping the railings, calming his mood slightly, Robert said:
"I think that given that the current situation has changed beyond our previous expectations, the subsequent plans should be adjusted."
"Ahem!" Robert cleared his throat and continued: "Your army does not need to land in the south anymore. The five southern cities will declare independence and leave the Principality of Castia."
Obilean immediately refuted: "This does not meet our country's expectations of war!"
"The plan cannot be unchanged. My plan can bring greater benefits to Stuart."
Obilean did not interrupt Robert's performance, and looked like you continued to say that I would not believe anything I said. His task was not to negotiate directly with Robert, but to listen to Robert's conditions. The bargaining matter should be handed over to politicians.
Robert continued to explain: "As long as I relax my suppression, the troops on the Western Front will take the initiative to provoke the battle. Then it will be time for your so-called new military performance. Of course, I will also help you and create difficulties for the Castia army. How much benefits can be seized in the future depends on your own abilities.
After the war begins, I will immediately announce that the five southern cities will leave Castia, but not joining Stuart, but directly paying allegiance to the royal family."
Allegiance to the royal family?
hehe!
Obilean sneered in his heart.
It seems that the Baptist family first obtained the title and sent navigation formations to the royal family. As the navy, Obilean is naturally very familiar with this history.
"In addition, I have the ability to delay the time when the royal family is involved in the war, at least three days..." Robert continued to increase his bargaining chips.
Leaving Castia?
The five southern cities are thousands of miles apart from the Gyeonggi region controlled by the royal family and the northern region. Even if they declare allegiance to the royal family, the royal family cannot effectively control it.
In the future, Robert's status should be like the mayor of the New World region. For Hoffa, like York City, it seems that he has greater power than the mayor, and he should be able to be hereditary.
Is this a chess piece trying to break away from the board and become a chess player?
His hand can already reach to the imperial capital? No wonder he is reluctant to be a chess piece.
Did the Grand Guild of Amon agree?
Robert increased his bargaining chips: "Three days are just the least expected, and I can let the royal family react at most five days after the war between the two countries begins. As long as you are fast enough, you can reach the city of Rand in five days. Then announce a truce before the royal family joins the war and swallow the benefits they get.
By the way, if you don’t need to land in the south, you can still transfer this part of your troops to the colonies of the New World. I heard that the Light Dog is difficult to deal with. Even the City of Tavare was occupied by them. Governor Neutra led his army to break through and retreat to the north. The colony needs support. You warships carrying artillery can restrain the Light Dog…”
Robert talked freely and described his plan quite temptingly, but Obilean knew in his heart that even if he did not need to land in southern Castia, Grand Duke Amon would no longer send troops to rescue the colonies in the New World. The news that Robert received was lagging behind, and he had no idea what kind of enemy the colonial army faced.
"I understand!" Obilean, who suddenly became irritated, interrupted Robert's deceptive words, "I will pass on your proposal to Lord Amon. Now... if there is nothing else, let's just leave."
"Uh...Okay..." Robert originally believed that he could convince Stuart's naval commander to convince Grand Duke Amon on his behalf, but now it seems that this person should only tell his proposal and keep making trouble for himself.
Is the information wrong?
The information provided by the Mithrilian Society shows that the Obilean in front of him learned that the Kingdom of Light attacked Stuart's colony in the New World, immediately asked Grand Duke Amon for his order, hoping to lead his army to the New World to recover the lost territory.
Why are you very interested in supporting the New World at this time?
There must be situations that I don’t know about. It seems that the intelligence work for Stuart still needs to be further strengthened.
Sailors began to move on the decks of the two ships. They unbuttoned the chains of hook claws, adjusted their courses and raised the sails. The warship gradually sailed away from each other.
Obilene, on the Fearless Class warship, watched Robert's ship gradually fade away, but his mood was not about the war that was about to start with Castia, but drifted to the new continent across the ocean.
The day before he left Rendynume, the Marquis of Sousa, who was sent to Tavare to negotiate with the Kingdom of Light, returned to Rendynume.
The news brought back by the beautiful woman was not exciting. Obilean attended as a senior general and listened to the Marquis' report.
There is an extraordinary person at the level of Beast King in the Kingdom of God of Light!
And more than one!
There are actually three people who are known at present!
One of them was able to beat the Beast King who destroyed Tavare thirty years ago to no avail!
Obilen had participated in the rescue of Tavare when he first entered the navy. Although the beast king had already left when the ship he was in arrived, he still saw Tavare in ruins.
Tens of thousands of people were killed by the Beast King like ants. Even the masters would be caught and torn to pieces if they ran slowly.
The army of the Kingdom of Light, which also mastered gunpowder weapons, is already very powerful. They also have the Beast King. How can this regain the colony?
It is said that in the battle outside Tavare City, the light dog riding a strange beast, wild boar, dared to charge against the military formation that used the "Square Formation" of the coordinated energy skill. Before it was about to collide with Ru Lin's spear, it took out a musket to shoot at the extraordinary person who used the coordinated energy skill.
