Two and a half days later.
At sunset, Qin Ze arrived at Nangang with a small number of troops. Most of the previous troops had been stationed in Nanze City.
Although Nanze City is now under our control, we need to leave troops to oversee it. In addition, the breached city defenses cannot be left unattended. There are many captured defeated soldiers, so they will be used as laborers to repair the city defenses. But this is only the beginning. Once the people sent by Zhang Li arrive in Nanze, we will make more detailed arrangements for these people.
The captured members of the Jin family, escorted by soldiers, departed from Nanze City and were first transported to Jinling. Once the matter in Nangang was resolved, Qin Ze planned to return to Jinling.
As for now, the most important thing is naturally those foreign enemies entrenched on the high seas, eyeing us covetously.
Upon arriving at Nangang City, Zheng He, who was in charge of the entire navy, requested an audience with Qin Ze.
"How did it go?" Qin Ze asked, sitting in his chair and looking at Zheng He, who was bowing low.
Zheng He replied with a relaxed expression:
"Your Majesty, just as those foreigners said, they have indeed sent a fleet."
"Our ships stationed in the coastal waters patrol day and night. As it stands, they have sent quite a few warships, but we do not know their exact number."
Qin Ze nodded slightly.
Zheng He continued, "However, they do not dare to approach now, but instead remain at sea."
Qin Ze said, "That's right. With more defenses deployed at sea, it's normal that they don't know the details and haven't come rashly. However, these people are all ambitious and will not leave easily after coming all this way."
“Then Merri said that a multinational fleet was coming, which means there are still fleets that have not yet arrived, so they dare not test the waters easily, which is why they are so hesitant.”
"They're waiting, huh," Qin Ze chuckled.
Qin Ze didn't care about their waiting. The longer the time passed, the more points they would accumulate. Their waiting was to make themselves stronger, but that was only one aspect.
These "powerful nations" have crossed oceans to plot a "major event." In their eyes, Yan Kingdom is now the "prey," while they are the "hunters."
And what about myself? The only difference is that the Yan Kingdom is the "hunter".
Therefore, Qin Ze naturally hoped to capture more "prey" in this "hunting activity".
The countries that came, their warships, weapons, people, and everything on board were all prey.
The balance of power has shifted. Today, Da Gan is the Yan Kingdom, with a powerful army and weapons, and abundant firepower. Naturally, they want to capture and capture as many prey as possible.
Therefore, the more people who call themselves "hunters" but are essentially "prey," the better.
Before leaving Nangang, the navy already had a thousand warships. Although some warships had been assigned to guard other ports, there were still quite a few warships left in Nangang. Moreover, he could continue to exchange for more, since he had already accumulated quite a few points.
The hunters who came from afar had no idea of these things; their restless desires were not leading them toward delicious prey, but toward a trap.
At this moment, Zheng He pursed his lips and said:
"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, they sent a ship to negotiate, and we detained it."
Hearing this, Qin Ze's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled:
"We're here to find out the truth."
Zheng He nodded and said, "Yes, that foreigner named 'Luwang' said a lot of high-sounding things, which were nothing more than that they came here to pay a visit."
"However, this person is being clever. He only said he was visiting the owner of this land, but didn't say he was visiting the Jin family. It seems they have sensed that something has changed, so they came to probe and ask."
"However, this person should just be an insignificant nobody, playing the role of a dispensable 'discarded pawn'."
Qin Ze stroked his chin and said:
"So what did you get out of him?"
Zheng He replied, "The main countries that have come on this trip are the Kingdom of Nassan, the Kingdom of Hun, and the Delta Federation. However, there is one fleet that has not yet arrived; it is the Kingdom of Nassan."
"This country is the most powerful and the overlord of the Leon continent."
Qin Ze nodded: "Yes, I do know that. The Mordnik man already told me about it."
"It was the people of Nasari who organized this plunder."
Zheng He continued, "They sent this foreigner named Lu Wang over, yet they weren't afraid to reveal their true strength. It seems they were relying on the confidence of these great powers, and it also served as a form of intimidation."
"It forces us to befriend them."
"If we really can't reach an agreement, we'll have to just set sail and take matters into our own hands."
Qin Ze chuckled, "That's right."
"These countries are used to bullying others on their continents and always act like superiors. This reminds me of that three-star general from Taqi Kingdom, haha."
Zheng He chuckled and then asked:
"Your Majesty, should we let them grow impatient and approach us on their own, or should we launch the first attack?"
After thinking for a moment, Qin Ze said:
"Release Luwang and his group and let them go back."
"Send them back?" Zheng He asked, but immediately realized what was going on. "His Majesty wants to 'invite' them here."
Qin Ze stood up and said with a smile:
"Um."
"Just say that we welcome them to visit."
"However, bringing such a large fleet still makes our 'small country' somewhat apprehensive. Since it is truly a visit, let's send a few ships and let those important figures come."
"Anyway, they are a major power. Are they worried that we will cause trouble?"
Zheng He pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "The fact that they dare not come over rashly already shows that they are wary. I'm afraid they may not believe this statement."
Qin Ze spread his hands, his smile growing even brighter:
"Then there's no other way. They'll have to drop their disguise and attack us directly."
“Rwanda will tell them about our naval strength, and they will be full of confidence and ready to attack.”
"But will the intelligence that Rwandan obtained today still be considered intelligence tomorrow?" He looked at Zheng He with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zheng He replied.
"Go, take that ship to the nearshore area and let them go back on their own. Then we'll just wait and see. No matter what they do, we can handle it."
"Once that ship leaves, hmm... we should expand our military capabilities."
"It all depends on how they want to fall into their trap."
Qin Ze chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and walked out the door, intending to see Jin Changge, the last pillar of the Jin family. Now he was all alone, and he deserved to be treated seriously.
