Perhaps the sun was too strong today, causing the temperature on the sea surface to rise rapidly, as if summer had arrived several months early.
After all, Heiner was drenched in sweat at this moment, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
These words were like a bolt of lightning suddenly crashing down from the heavens, striking his eardrums and piercing his terrified heart.
The tiny country of Fusang has been destroyed!
Is Fusang truly a tiny, insignificant country? Admittedly, it is insignificant compared to Yan Kingdom.
It's like an old farmer working hard in the fields, when a wild mouse darts out from among the weeds.
The short-sighted creature was unaware that the person before it was an opponent it could not possibly defeat. Baring its teeth, it jumped to the old farmer's feet, intending to take a bite.
But with a single stroke of the old farmer's hoe, the audacious wild rat would surely be left bleeding from its head.
An old farmer would typically spit after bringing his hoe down and shout a curse:
"Where did this stinking rat come from, daring to bite me!"
If the old farmer were dull-witted, he might have simply kicked away the bloodied, flattened rat carcass and let it go.
However, if the old farmer had any sense, he should have looked around the field to see if he could find any rat burrows, killed any rats he found, and filled in the burrows to prevent the crops from being damaged by these rats later on.
For Yan Kingdom, destroying Fusang was like wiping out a rat's nest, but for Heiner, it was a devastating event that struck like a thunderbolt.
Even my own motherland is small.
In addition to his fear, he was also annoyed. Arriving here rashly before completely misjudging the strength of the Yan Kingdom was a foolish move.
If possible, we should return home immediately; this is definitely not a place we should be.
For such a powerful nation as Yan to gain an advantage would undoubtedly come at a huge cost.
Perhaps only powerful nations like the Sassi, Delta Federation, and Hungary have a slight chance of profiting here, and once a conflict breaks out between major powers, the smaller countries involved will certainly be wiped out.
'Oh! Dog shit!'
'We can't be cannon fodder!'
Heiner cursed inwardly with his usual catchphrase, then composed himself, bowed, and gave a fawning smile:
"That insignificant Japan dared to defy its superiors! Your Majesty led an expedition to punish them, and now you have returned victorious. This is truly a cause for celebration!"
"I was unaware that Da Gan has now been renamed Yan Kingdom. I apologize for my intrusion and hope Your Majesty will not take offense."
Qin Ze stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Heiner with a relaxed expression and a faint smile on his face.
Heiner smiled, wiping the sweat from his brow, and continued, "To encounter His Majesty's fleet here today is truly..."
“So lucky.” He swallowed hard, the flesh on his thick cheeks twitching as he continued:
"This time, we have come to pay homage to the Yan Kingdom..."
At this point, Qin Ze tilted his head and chuckled, "How did it become a pilgrimage?"
Heiner's smile remained unchanged as he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is pilgrimage."
"I brought some specialties from my Kingdom of Modenik with me this time. I originally planned to unload them after we landed, but now that we are here to meet His Majesty, it is only right that we offer them to him."
As he spoke, Heiner turned to his second-in-command, Doug, and winked, saying:
"Go, tell them to bring all the Gels from my cabin."
Upon hearing this, Doug immediately understood, and his respect for Heiner increased even further.
'The Marshal's ability to change course with the wind is just as strong as his ability to change course with the wind at sea!' Doug muttered to himself as he looked at Qin Ze.
Qin Ze smiled and nodded slightly, and Doug then turned and left.
“Well then, Heiner, since you’ve come all this way to pay homage to my Yan Kingdom, I’ll take you back with me,” Qin Ze said with a light laugh as he sat back in his chair.
Heine was distressed; going there would truly be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, fraught with danger.
But there was no room for refusal now, so he said with a forced smile, "Then... I'll have to trouble you."
Qin Ze waved his hand and said leisurely:
"Our Yan Kingdom is a land of etiquette, and we know how to treat guests."
"after all....."
He gave Heiner a deep look, then laughed and said, "You are not like those Japanese. They came to my Yan Kingdom to kill and burn, to seize my Yan Kingdom's land."
"Such an enemy must be annihilated with swift and decisive action."
"As for our guests and friends, Yan Kingdom will never let you down."
The knocking continued in waves, and Heiner felt a tingling sensation all over his body after hearing these words.
"Then... it would be impolite to refuse." He raised his somewhat stiff hand, cupped his hands, and smiled.
"Well, we'll arrive in Yan Kingdom tomorrow. Why don't you rest on our ship today? We hit it off, and I have a lot to talk about with you. What do you think?"
'Oh, damn it! He's going to imprison me!' Heiner cried out inwardly.
The next moment, he immediately nodded and smiled:
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey all your orders."
"To be honest, I've never been on such a magnificent ship before."
“These…” Heiner glanced around and then said, “So many warships, it’s truly breathtaking.”
Looking at Heiner, who was trying to appear calm, Qin Ze chuckled and said, "Well, not bad."
"Our shipyard is working hard to build more warships, and in a while, the number of our warships will increase."
Heiner's expression stiffened, and he nodded, saying, "As expected of a great power, it is truly extraordinary."
"only......"
Heiner pointed to a spot on the sea and asked cautiously, "These ships look like they belong to the Taqi Kingdom. I wonder if I'm mistaken."
Qin Ze stroked his chin, narrowed his eyes, and smiled, "You've dealt with the Taqi Kingdom before?"
Heiner immediately shook his head: "No, the Taqi Kingdom is not on the same continent as us, but their naval power is very strong, with an extremely powerful navy, and they are always sailing around, exploring unknown continents."
“They also came to our continent of Leon...and clashed with the Kingdom of Sauri on our continent, fighting a massive naval battle.” Heiner paused here.
"Go on, what was the result? Who won?" Qin Ze asked, intrigued.
"The Tajik flag country has won."
"In our continent of Leon, the Kingdom of Sa Ri is the most powerful nation, but after this battle, it had no choice but to admit defeat. Although a peace was negotiated afterward, it is said that they paid a considerable price."
“Since then, no country has dared to clash with Tajikistan.” Heiner’s tone grew increasingly serious.
"If you lose, you do have to pay compensation and save face, which is understandable," Qin Ze said casually, his gaze falling on the few Taqi Kingdom warships.
"I wonder... how did these warships end up here?" Heiner couldn't help but ask.
"These are the spoils of war we captured," Qin Ze said calmly, slightly raising his chin.
