Chapter 1128 personally dispatched

The old and weak body of Konia, the capital of Cyprus, was huddled in a large chair covered with bearskin. He was listening to the reply of the messenger who had just returned from Asia Minor.

The messenger roughly described his experience of mission and concluded: "Report to the Governor General, Justice Auguste... Oh, it shouldn't be the Chief Elder Augures, but there are still three conditions, and there is no more one. One is that the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet is appointed by them to designate a new commander and merge with the Black Sea Fleet. The newly established fleet is also called the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet. The second is that the security legion on the island of Cyprus is transferred to Asia Minor, and they will send a new security legion to maintain the security of the island. The third is marriage, and the daughter of the Governor General will marry Auguste. Of course, there is another condition that is not considered a condition, that is, the Governor General must recognize the new Roman emperor recognized by Auguste."

Hathurel nodded and said, "Where are the Governor of Cyprus, the government offices and officials at all levels?"

"You are the Governor General or the Governor General, and the rest of the officials remain intact. Of course, the ferry crossings from Asia Minor to Cyprus will be completely open in the future, and goods can enter and exit freely. Here is a specific agreement, please take a look at the Governor General." The envoy said while presenting the draft agreement.

Hathurel sighed and said, "Then do it like this. In this way, I just want to be quiet and I am too lazy to worry about so many troubles in the future." After that, he took the agreement and read it carefully line by line. The agreement was detailed, and even the time to marry Shirley was set.

Hathurel saw this article [the two sides handed over the command of the Eastern Mediterranean within three days from the date of the signing of the agreement] and smiled bitterly: "Augures is too anxious. Well, it's the same thing to pay early and late. Let them."

He then sat upright and ordered his servants to get the pen and seal to sign the agreement. Then he handed the agreement back to the messenger and said, "Go quickly and get this matter done." The messenger said confidently: "Don't worry, Governor, Lord Augustez said he was waiting at the ferry across the strait. I will come back to report this afternoon."

The next morning, on the northern coast of Cyprus, one mast after another suddenly rose on the sea level outside a harbor where the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet was stationed. When these ships all emerged at sea level, they were already in a scene of masts, sails as mountains, and long oars as tides. A large number of warships and warships were rushing towards the harbor in a black mass.

Someone had already reported the news to the depressed little Hathurel. He was not surprised, but there was a little more sadness on his face. After a sneer, he immediately ordered: "Everyone, come out of the camp and prepare for the handover ceremony!"

After a while, a large number of ships gathered outside the port. These were Augustus' Black Sea Fleet. According to common sense, it was enough to send a few people to hand over. There was no need to send Ruduo warships and warships to come.

In fact, this is because Augustus was afraid that the cooked duck would fly. He just signed the agreement yesterday and came to accept it today. He brought so many ships because he was afraid that the other party would temporarily regret it. In short, Augustus was prepared for the possibility of "accident" that he could think of.

However, no accident happened at the moment. The two sides successfully handed over the command of the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet at the port. Then, the fleets of both sides gathered together, or rather, Auguste's warships wrapped around about 300 ships in the port to the northern port of Asia Minor. There they would be reorganized by Auguste's newly appointed commander.

...

In the Governor's palace, Hathurel, who was huddled in a leather chair, was already drowsy, suddenly woke up by the voice of the attendant. The attendant said, "Report to the Governor, a group of people landed in a boat from the Port of Pila. They claimed to be an envoy from the Sicily Provincial Government Office and requested to visit the Governor. Our people have temporarily placed them under house arrest and waited for the Governor to be sent down."

Hearing the three words Sicily, Hatuller's drooping eyelids suddenly opened, revealing two bright eyes: "Sicily!? They had just sneaked into my military port a while ago. At this time, they sent someone to visit me. What do they want to do?" He hesitated for a moment and ordered: "Then let them come here for a while!"

The attendant asked again, "Do you need to tie them up?"

"Of course not needed, please invite them like guests."

After the attendant responded to his promise, he was about to turn around and leave. Hathurel added: "Wait, mobilize more guards in the mansion here. Their people will be at most five."

Not long after, a group of five people appeared in Hatulaer's vision. The leader was the most eye-catching, because this person was a young man with yellow skin, black hair and black pupils, and a typical oriental appearance. It was said that he was a young man, just compared to Hatulaer. This person's real age is over 40 years old, he is neither another, nor Feng Yu himself.

Feng Yu originally wanted to send a person to Cyprus, but after picking, he couldn't find a suitable candidate who could implement his intentions well. In the end, he decided to come by himself. His decision was naturally opposed by the generals under his command. Even if he pretended to be his identity, it was a very dangerous act. But he was stubborn and still had to go to Cyprus in person. The generals and subordinates had no choice but to let him go. However, in order to ensure his safety, twenty of the most elite scouts were selected to follow him. In fact, this was a psychological comforting effect. If the other party was malicious, not to mention twenty elite scouts, two hundred were useless.

When Hathulal saw Feng Yu not even asked the other party’s name, he said straight to the point: “Your troops only attacked our military port a few moments ago. What do you want to say now Feng Hu sent you here?”

Feng Yu said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Governor General, we came this time to resolve the misunderstanding. A few days ago, our people attacked your military port were indeed ours. But this was not the intention of our Governor Feng Hu. It was the self-defense counterattack that our troops stationed in the canal area were forced to launch a self-defense counterattack in order to fight pirates."

Hathurel laughed dryly and said, "Self-defense counterattack. The wise man did not say secret words. The Eastern Mediterranean fleet in Cyprus was forced to survive and pretended to be pirates and made some robbers. But they just made money and did not kill people without voluntarily. This is similar to passing tax collection. It is just to collect in public waters. This is not important. What is important is that even so, we are all maritime vendors who have violated them and did not attack you. Why do you say that you are from the defense?"
