1909: Surrender

Gaisen sat on the bridge of the warship, staring sadly at the sailors busy at the stern of the ship. They were working hard to repair the rudder. It was certain that the underwater part of the rudder was intact, but the part on the deck had turned into pieces. It was not easy to repair it. But as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they did not want to give up. If they did not repair the rudder, they would be unable to move forward. Fortunately, the other party chased the two escaped warships, which gave him a certain amount of time.

I hope they can escape a little further. Gaisen can only think like this now. They escape further, and it will take longer for the other party to catch up with them, and then he will have more time. The bright sunshine is gradually losing its warmth and slowly falling towards the west. He is now extremely looking forward to the arrival of the night. The night is the best amulet. When the night falls and he repairs the rudder, the master cannot easily escape from the other party's pursuit.

Night is not a suitable time for naval battles.

It shouldn't be like this. Gaisen watched the sailors on the deck throw the dead into the sea one by one. Even those who were still breathless but seriously injured but had no value for treatment were thrown into the sea amid their begging or howlings. Seeing this, he closed his eyes in pain. These people were his confidants, but now, he could not abandon them. There were not enough medicines or doctors on the ship to treat these people. The bodies could not be left on the ship. In such a narrow environment, once a plague or disease occurred, it would be a catastrophe for the entire warship.

Unlike Marshall, Geisen came from a city-state aristocratic family named Venice, who was subordinate to the Tiger Dynasty. He knew some high-level insider information that Marshall didn't know. This large-scale western expedition of the Tiger Dynasty did indeed covet the huge wealth of the countries in the East, and the other hand, it was because a person with extraordinary identities came from that land. The news he brought was the reason why His Majesty the King of the Tiger Dynasty decided to fight the east.

On that continent, the two largest countries were preparing to engage in a battle to unify the continent, and the weak side sent this person to the Tiger Dynasty for assistance.

The Tiger Dynasty did not unify the entire Western Continent for too long. Naturally, I knew the intensity of such a war of hegemony. How could King Dansi, who is nearly twilight, let it go in the face of such a good opportunity?

King Dance was already very old. His powerful generals divided the four directions, and each of them had strong strength. These people were all powerful generals who had followed King Dance to fight for the rest of their lives. Compared with them, the crown prince chosen by King Dance was like a docile kitten. Once King Dance died, the new king would not be able to control those powerful generals and great nobles at all.

Going eastward to obtain more wealth is certainly the main purpose of this Eastern Expedition, but King Dansi is well aware of the power of his former subordinates by taking advantage of this battle. He ordered to take away almost all the elite troops of those powerful generals, and the power to stay in the local area was already very weak. If the crown prince who was responsible for staying in the local supervision could not effectively integrate the country and take the opportunity to gain absolute power under such a good opportunity, King Dansi could only give up on him.

Gaisen is the concubine's son in the family, and his title is naturally not destined to be with him. He can only obtain his title through military achievements. Otherwise, he will have to run around for the family and earn wealth forever like in the past, but he can only get a small share of it.

He actually had the opportunity to stay in the local area because he had a good personal relationship with the crown prince. Over the years, he had been running a business and did not lack wealth in his hands. He also used this wealth to successfully make friends with His Royal Highness the crown prince.

But it is precisely because his performance is too outstanding that his reputation in the family has surpassed that of his legitimate son, so he has become one of the candidates who must follow His Majesty to fight.

Gaisen smiled bitterly, or this was a cocoon. He could not disobey the family's orders, and their family was one of the members who had to follow His Majesty the King to go to war this time.

Gaisen brought his own warship. Everyone on it was carefully trained and selected by him. Since the war was inevitable, he simply chose the most dangerous pioneer of exploring the way. He seeks wealth and honor in danger. Since this is the case, why not try a big one? Success and gain more rewards. Following the crowd has never been the pursuit of the adventurer Gaisen, just like the path he has taken over the years.

Unlike other people who knew nothing about the Ming Dynasty, he knew more or less about the news about the Eastern power with the sun and moon as the banner, because he originally operated maritime trade. From the transactions of merchants from afar, he heard praise and even fear of this country, which should be a powerful country.

Of course, conquering one strong man is the pleasure of another strong man, and Gaisen naturally has this kind of pleasure. As a great nobleman, even if he is a concubine's son, he certainly would not directly contact those merchants from afar, but his subordinates had direct dealing with them, and he also indirectly learned about some things. He knew that it was a country that had only been rising for more than ten years, but had strong strength. More importantly, the emperor of the Ming Empire was actually the same year as him.

Thinking of this, he was a little discouraged. At the same age, this man was already qualified to be an opponent of King Dance, but he was still just a pawn of the Tiger Dynasty.

The damn man from the Great Qi Empire didn't tell the truth. In his mouth, although the Ming Dynasty's navy was very strong, it was just a small loach and could not stir up any storms. But as soon as he fought, he fought against three, and the Tiger Dynasty's fleet was defeated.

The magical battleship that did not require sails, he couldn't even see where the other party's oar was. There were no weapons that looked terrifying on the battleship, but they could spray out evil fire from hell. Looking at the scene on the deck that was still messy, Gaisen couldn't help but feel sad.

He couldn't imagine how many such warships the other party had, ten, one hundred, or more.

Half of the sun in the distance was below the sea level. He stood up anxiously and shouted at the bottom: "Has it been repaired?"

A gray-haired veteran raised a vicissitudes of life that had been baptized by the sea breeze and shouted: "Young Master, it's almost gone, it's almost gone. We can definitely repair it before dark."

This was his most loyal old servant Mark. After hearing his words, Gaisen felt a little relieved. But when he turned around and looked into the distance again, the smile that had just appeared on his face condensed on the corner of his mouth.

Where the sun set, a black dot appeared before the sun, blocking the red sun almost halfway. The black dot was moving quickly in the direction where he was.

It was the big bird flying in the sky. Gaisen was shocked. They were back, and Marshall and the others were finished.

"Discover the enemy, discover the enemy." The sentry on the ship who was responsible for looking at the boat roared at the top of his lungs, and the alarm bell on the ship suddenly rang.

"Prepare to fight, prepare to fight" Mark, who was in charge of the battle of the ship, put on his helmet and yelled loudly, "Clean the rudder quickly, God, otherwise we will all die here."

Gaisen was not as hysterical as Mark. He was cold all over and could not say a word. Is it useful to fight? When they had three intact battleships, they were not opponents of such enemies, not to mention that now he only had one battleship that could not move.

Although Gaisen didn't speak, the loyal Mark was still preparing for battle. Gaisen ignored Mark and stared at the distant god of death slowly approaching him.

The big bird flew very quickly and could see his figure very clearly. In the rear, the battleship from hell also revealed his figure. The rolling black smoke from the strange chimney completely obscured the sun.

Gaisen sighed, dragged his sword to the lower deck, grabbed Mark, who was still in charge of combat missions, and said sadly: "There is no need to fight against the other party, that is to die. I don't want to die, and I don't want you to die. So, lower the sails, raise the white flag, and we surrender."

The muscles on Mark's face twitched, and he naturally knew that he was not the opponent's opponent at all, but he would have completely unpredictable what the consequences would be if he surrendered to an opponent who had no idea.

In the Tiger Dynasty, if one side fails to surrender to the other side, it will be treated the same as its identity. But this is the rule of the Western continent. In the East, does this rule apply?

"What if we surrender, they still want to kill us?" he said tremblingly.

"Is there any difference?" Gaisen replied twilightly: "Surrender, at least there is still a glimmer of vitality. If you fight, you will not even have this glimmer of vitality."

Mark finally gave the order. Gaisen could clearly feel his soldiers were all relieved.

Yang Tiexin, who was rushing back all the way, looked at the enemy warship that was still drifting with the waves on the sea, was overjoyed. All the artillery was ready to shoot, but when he saw the signal from the airship in the distance, his face was quite brilliant.

"Surrendered"

The Changyang lowered the ship's speed and slowly approached. The enemy ship in the distance lowered all the sails, and a huge white flag fluttered in the wind on the top of the mast.
