Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 469 Contact with New Forces
The Qiandao sea area, the sea area [-] kilometers east of the Qiandao Road, is where the Qinghe Kingdom's fleet is confronting a force.

On the side of the Qinghe Kingdom, a third-generation warship and a small fleet of three first-generation warships, at this time, all the artillery on the battleship were fully loaded with ammunition, waiting to be fired.

All close-in defense guns were also aimed at the opposite fleet.

And the fleet on the opposite side is a wooden fleet, but there are mysterious runes on the wood, it is not a simple sailing warship at first glance.

This sailing battleship fleet has a very large number of ships, with thirty two-masted sailing ships and ten three-masted sailing ships. The leader is a huge battleship with a volume of 200 meters. There are many kinds of magic artillery on the battleship. There is also a team Teams of knights in battle armor stood on the deck.

But at this time, looking at the steel warships of the Qinghe Kingdom opposite, this fleet was also shocked by this waste of steel to build warships. Without knowing the Qinghe Kingdom, they did not dare to advance easily.

After all, a huge battleship that can use the steel that armed a legion to build such a huge warship is unusual. Without knowing the forces on the opposite side, the alliance of this fleet stopped.

"Listen to the fleet on the opposite side, this is the territorial waters of the Qinghe Kingdom, you stop advancing, otherwise we have the right to open fire on you."

On this flagship, the broadcast was played over and over again. Although I don't know if the other side can understand such words, but seeing that the opposite fleet stopped advancing, the captain secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Report to the captain." At this time, in the command room of the third-generation warship, a signal soldier walked into the command room and reported.

"The news of encountering the enemy has been sent out. The rear headquarters ordered us to contact the opponent as much as possible to avoid war. But if the opponent fights face to face, it is better to fight while retreating if the enemy is lost. It is better than sending the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet. The fleet came to support.

The nearest is a squadron of the Fifth Fleet, which is expected to arrive in our waters in an hour. "

"It's good to have support." The captain secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Then delay here and see what the other side is going to do."

Just as the captain was about to delay the time, a radio broadcast suddenly sounded from the opposite fleet. This broadcast sound was the language used by the Qinghe Kingdom.

The fleet on the opposite side listened to Qinghe Kingdom's broadcast. Although they couldn't understand the words, they saw that the opposite warship did not launch an attack immediately, and there were people with black hair and black eyes on the deck.

Although it is not a human race, as long as it is a human race, it will be easy to handle. On the opposite battleship, an archmage uses a common language spell on himself.

After understanding the language of Qinghe Kingdom, then they can communicate.With a sound amplification spell, this fleet sent a message to the fleet of Qinghe Kingdom.

"We are the Western Exploration Fleet of the Seven Nations Alliance. Now that we have come to your waters, I hope you can give us a port of call for us to rest. We are not hostile. Maybe we can talk."

"Seven Nations."

Regarding the words of this fleet, the captain thought about it and replied through the radio.

"Please wait a moment."

After that, they quickly communicated with the rear and got a reply from the headquarters that they could park on a temporary island nearby.

That island is located in the easternmost part of Qiandao Road, about [-] kilometers away from the main island. The island itself is only ten square kilometers, but the entire island is in a ring shape, and the terrain of the island is still a mountain.

Just as a harbor, the Qinghe Kingdom engineering team built dozens of berths in the harbor on the island, and built observation posts and camps on the surrounding mountains.

This fleet is the garrison fleet of this island outpost, which is responsible for patrolling the large sea area in the east.I didn't expect to encounter such a fleet not long after setting sail.

"There is an island in our Qinghe Kingdom nearby, we can negotiate with you there, and you can rest there."

After receiving the approval from the rear, the captain replied to the Seven Nations Alliance on the opposite side, and the Seven Nations Alliance fleet immediately responded.

"We submit to your arrangement and we look forward to the follow-up negotiations."

Under the leadership of the fleet, they soon saw the crescent-like island.The deep-water piers on the island, as well as an improvised airport, and high watchtowers, it can be seen at a glance that this is a small fortress.

"Is this the level of the Qinghe Kingdom? It seems to be a powerful country." On the flagship of the Seven Nations Alliance fleet, a handsome blond young man in a gorgeous brocade robe sighed.

"I didn't expect that we would discover such a country after crossing more than 2000 kilometers of sea area along the way."

At this time, a red-haired young man also stepped forward beside the blond young man, and said curiously as he watched the outpost built by the Qinghe Kingdom on the island.

"I hope to be able to travel around this country."

The third-generation capital ship of the outpost is moored in the port, but the three first-generation warships are moored on the edge of the island.The seven-nation alliance fleet also only has the flagship and a few frigates moored in the port, and other warships are also anchored near the island.

After all, it is a contact between two unknown forces, and no one knows the situation on the other side. It is impossible for the two parties to guarantee absolute trust from the beginning.

At the port, the two young men disembarked with a guard of more than ten people and servants of more than ten people.

As the person in charge of this outpost, it can also be said that a captain of the base came forward with several subordinates.

"Welcome friends from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance to Qinghe Kingdom. I hope you will stay here for the next two days. Our kingdom's diplomats are coming and it will take some time.
At that time, the diplomats will negotiate with you. I am the base commander of this base, Du Wei, the captain of the navy. "

"Hello Colonel Du Wei."

The leading blond youth also said with a smile.

"I am the second prince of the Seven Kingdoms, the kingdom of knights, and the marshal of this fleet, Ramones."

"I am the deputy marshal of this fleet, the third prince of the Yansha Kingdom of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, Julian."

"I have seen Prince Ramones and Prince Julian. In these two days, we have prepared a lounge for you, and there is plenty of fresh water on the island to replenish."

"Trouble Colonel Du Wei."

The two princes of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance have good personalities and polite manners.

In fact, in the eastern part of the Qiandao sea area obtained by the Qinghe Kingdom, unknown forces broke into the sea area, and immediately mobilized the main warships to prepare for support.

However, seeing that the opposite side seems to be the kind of extremely aggressive country that can be negotiated, then one of the two fleets originally supported returned, and only the Fifth Fleet sent ten warships to support it.

The other warships of the Fifth Fleet were moored at the eastern port of the main island of Qiandao, two hundred kilometers away, and they were guaranteed to provide support at any time, and they would not arouse the vigilance of the other side, thinking that the Qinghe Kingdom was going to war with the other side.

Half a day later, the reinforcements arrived. Seeing the arrival of more than a dozen steel warships from the Qinghe Kingdom, although the fleet of the Seven Nations Alliance was vigilant, they also knew that with so many ships on their side, it was impossible for the kingdom on the other side to be unprepared.

Seeing these warships moored on the water on the other side of the island, the Seven Nations Alliance fleet didn't ask too much.

The next day, the diplomatic personnel took off from Qinghe City by transport plane and stopped at the airport in Haizhou Daocheng along the way.Departed early the next morning and arrived at the island airport at noon after flying thousands of kilometers.

Looking at a strange iron bird flying by, the Seven Nations Alliance was surprised to find that the air force on the opposite side was not the kind of air cavalry that controlled beasts, but mechanical creations.

The iron bumps made by humans can actually fly. Such a miraculous thing surprised the two princes and the scholars and mages following the fleet, and their evaluation of Qinghe Kingdom in their hearts went up to a higher level.

When the diplomats of the Qinghe Kingdom stepped off the transport plane and contacted the two princes, the two sides began a negotiation to get to know each other.

The two sides sat at the negotiating table and first introduced the basic situation of their respective national powers to each other. After a certain understanding, the diplomats of the Qinghe Kingdom asked the reason why the Seven-Nation Alliance fleet came here, and then the two sides learned about their respective situations and goals. .

In the final week of negotiations, the Alliance of Seven Nations and the Kingdom of Qinghe demarcated the sea area where their respective forces joined. The Kingdom of Qinghe used the current sea area as the basis, and the Alliance of the Seven Kingdoms demarcated territorial waters based on the islands discovered in previous explorations to determine the sphere of influence of the kingdom.

Afterwards, the two sides allowed a certain amount of ocean trade. The Qinghe Kingdom opened up the main island of Qiandao Road as a trade zone, and the Seven Nations Alliance opened up more than ten port cities as a trade zone, and the two sides could conduct trade.

As for the specific details, after the commercial department personnel of the two forces are released, they will decide to negotiate the specific details of tariffs and trade.

Afterwards, after thinking twice about the Seven Nations Alliance wanting to visit the Qinghe Kingdom, Di Feng approved the other party's request for a visit.

However, only cities can be visited, and some important areas, industrial centers, and military bases cannot be visited.And the fleet of the two princes can only berth in Qiandao Road, the two princes can only bring ten armed men and ten servants, and the others can only operate in the port of Qiandao Road.

And the Qinghe Kingdom does not provide fleet supplies, and all needs need to be purchased at the expense of the fleet.

Regarding this situation, the two princes agreed. After all, neither of the two princes is an important prince of the Seven Nations Alliance, and even if there is a problem, it will not be a big deal.

Moreover, since you are a kingdom after all, the kingdom on the opposite side is equivalent to entering the core of the opposite force, so it is reasonable for the opposite side to take some precautions.

Therefore, after passing the news of the encounter here to the rear kingdom through magic communication, the two princes let two-thirds of the fleet return.

Going to the border area of ​​the coastline of Qinghe Kingdom, which is about 100 kilometers away, there is an island explored by the Alliance of Seven Nations.

This island has an area of ​​more than 50 square kilometers and has fresh water and wild animals. It is no problem as a temporary port of anchorage.

Most of the fleet retreated to the island to station, and took advantage of this period of time to build a camp and port to prepare for the subsequent stationing of troops and exploration.

The remaining ten warships went to Qiandao Road to be stationed as frigates to receive the two princes.As for the prince's flagship, it can go to Haizhou Dao Port of Qinghe Kingdom under the escort of Qinghe Kingdom.

After landing there, the special reception staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be in charge of reception to ensure the safety of the journey along the way and other issues.

After learning about the general situation of the Qinghe Kingdom, the two princes wanted to take a look at the villages, towns, and cities of the Qinghe Kingdom. It would be even better if they could visit the different regions of the Qinghe Kingdom.

For this request, Di Feng did not refuse, but under the same conditions, Qinghe Kingdom will send diplomats to the Seven Kingdoms Alliance to investigate after the two princes return to the voyage.

As the battleship returned, two third-generation warships escorted the flagship of the two princes and arrived at the eastern port of the main island of Qiandao.

Because the eastern part of Qiandao Road has just been annexed, there is only a simple camp here as a port, and the city is still a large area of ​​planning, most of which are wasteland.

"This is Haiyang Port, Qiandao Road, Qinghe Kingdom, but because it has just been captured by our Qinghe Kingdom, this port is still in the development stage, and the follow-up development will take some time.

Several escort fleets are anchored here, and we will provide you with follow-up materials at the basic price to ensure the supply of fresh water and food. "

The frigate was moored at Haiyang Port, and the two princes did not stay much, and continued to set off with the guides.

After sailing hundreds of kilometers around the main island, the fleet arrived at the port of Haeju Road about a day later.

The wasteland in Haiyang Port prevented the two princes from seeing the real situation of the Qinghe Kingdom, but this time they arrived at a port city on Haizhou Road.

Because of its important geographical location, it is the eastern end of a newly planned railway line, and the already built east-west coastal railway also passes here.

As an important material distribution center and an important port city, it has been upgraded from a county to a county and has several districts under it.

After several years of construction, coupled with the frequent flow of people, the entire city is still well built.

There are hundreds of berths on the tidy wharf. On the side of the port, there are forklifts and truck drivers. The dispatcher is in charge of commanding on the tower in the center of the port.

At the freight port, Qinghe Kingdom's newly developed gantry crane is busy, loading or unloading containers full of goods.

On the edge of the port area, there are patches of large warehouses, the bustling port, the piles of goods are neat and orderly, and the huge gantry cranes, which make people feel a majestic mechanical feeling.

Standing at the port and looking far away, outside the large warehouse area, there are tall buildings of [-] to [-] floors. Because of wars, alien beast attacks, disasters, etc., the Qinghe Kingdom does not allow the construction of particularly tall buildings.

However, high-rise buildings with [-] or [-] floors are already very common in the Qinghe Kingdom. There are [-]-story high-rise buildings, and the scene of high-rise buildings makes the two princes and their followers a little shocked when they see such a situation for the first time. .

And the numerous transportation of materials also reflected how rich the Qinghe Kingdom was.
