Book of Gods and Demons

　　All of Yanan’s ‘family’ were ordered by Joe to move outside for the time being. There are some things they should not know about.

　　 In the brightly lit room, Yanan confessed everything he knew in a weak tone.

　　The Kingdom of Saint Xia, a traditional power in Medland, is the papal charter of the Golden Oak Church, and the only kingdom of God blessed with the word ‘Holy’.

Once a squadron of the Saint Xia colony was able to defeat the ice and sea kingdom, which is now the first maritime power of Medland, just over 20 years ago, where the powerful Saint Xia Kingdom naval gun pointed, The heroes along the storm ocean bowed their heads, no one dared to challenge his majesty.

Twenty years ago, the Great Sea Battle in the Brad Sea, the extremely powerful local fleet of the Kingdom of Sia, the tactical mistakes of the "Wan Sail Fleet" of the world's shocking seas, and bad luck, many senior fleets were in the first wave of artillery battles. Directly killed, the local fleet was severely damaged by the Royal Navy of the Ice Kingdom.

　　 Under the mediation of the Golden Oak Church, the Kingdom of Saint Xia humiliatedly signed an armistice agreement to compensate the Ice Sea Kingdom for a huge amount of military expenses. Even the remaining seven first-tier battleships were forcibly demanded by the Ice Sea Kingdom as part of the compensation.

　　 Seventeen years ago, the homeland fleet of the Kingdom of Saint Xia, which had regained its courage and regrouped itself, cooperated with the colony united fleet that returned from the major colonies, and took the initiative to fight again in the Strait of Stormwind.

　　Fierce battle day and night, the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Ice Sea Kingdom lost to the enemy. After losing a small half of the battleship, it panicked and fled into an unnamed bay to fight stubbornly. It was the dramatic changes in the weather in the Night Storm Strait, the huge waves and the heavy losses of the Saint Xia Navy. The Royal Navy of the Ice Sea Kingdom took advantage of the situation, and the Saint Xia Navy was almost wiped out.

　　The Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Ice Sea once again blocked the coast of the Kingdom of Saint Xia, and the Golden Oak Church once again helped. After mediation, the Kingdom of Saint Xia once again compensated for huge military expenses and ceded three fertile overseas colonies.

　　The territory of every overseas colony is equivalent to the land area of ​​Saint Xia Kingdom!

　　 Ten years ago, the Kingdom of Saint Xia, which once again lay down and tried again, did not hesitate to use the Kingdom’s reserves and spent seven years of hard work to once again build a local fleet that was larger than the two previous naval battles combined.

The Royal Navy of the Ice Sea Kingdom, which has also expanded several times in strength, took the initiative to attack and learned from the lessons of the previous two defeats. The Saint Xia Navy, which chose a conservative strategy, was at its doorstep, just around the Saint Xia Sea, with the help of the islands. Gu Fort, fought a battle with the Kingdom of Ice and Sea.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, the Durham Empire entered the battlefield strongly. A surprise attack by the Durham Empire, which had a small number and backward ship models, successfully destroyed the arsenal set up by the Santa Xia Navy on an island, and the Santa Xia Navy was lost. With 70% of the logistical supplies, the ammunition of the front-line fleet can only last for three days.

　　 What caused the Kingdom of Saint Xia to collapse even more was that the 300,000 elite army of the Derren Empire took advantage of the United Kingdom of Daunis and rushed all the way to directly encircle Saint Xia’s capital. The royal family of Saint Xia and almost all the princes and ministers were captured.

　　 cessation of land, compensation, dismantling of the fleet... The navy of the Kingdom of Saint Xia suffered an extreme disaster. Fortunately, the Golden Oak Church strongly intervened, and the Navy of Saint Xia retained a small fleet that could barely fight pirates and defend the mainland.

The Ice Sea Kingdom swallowed most of the main ships of the Saint Xia navy. Relying on the superiority of the army, the Deren Empire demolished 70% of the shipyards in the Saint Xia Empire. All shipyard owners, designers, engineers, senior workers and The apprentices, along with their families, were also taken away by the Durham Empire.

　　 Since then, in addition to the mortal enemy Ice Sea Kingdom, the Saint Xia Kingdom has also forged a **** feud with the Deren Empire.

　　 Since then, the Kingdom of Saint Xia and the Empire of Duren have been friendly neighbors and conflicts have continued in private. In the homeland, in the colony, in the land of a neutral country, soldiers, spies, and employees of both sides, official and unofficial people of various identities, occupations, and levels of official and unofficial people of various identities, various professions, and various levels are veterans with each other, killing each other every year.

"Frango, as a kingdom nobleman, he betrayed the kingdom." Yanan looked at Joe and said his main task on the night of the Mid Autumn: "Traitor must die. If he dies, he can give the Deren Empire Bringing some trouble, this is regarded as waste utilization, as a little atonement for him."

　　 Joe suddenly realized that, as the Consul General of the Kingdom of Saint Xia in Port Tulum, Franco would appear in the pink mermaid at that sensitive moment.

　　 This is an industry jointly established by a group of great nobles in the Gaul Republic. Those great nobles hold great power in the Gaul Republic. Franco died there, and there is no doubt that it will create a discord between the Durham Empire and the Gaul Republic.

　　 For the Kingdom of Saint Xia, using Franco's death to create diplomatic friction between the Durham Empire and the Gaul Republic is really a waste of use.

　　 For this reason, Yanan arranged a team of elite and reliable personnel inside and outside the pink mermaid on the night of Mid Autumn, enough to ensure that Franco, his family, and confidant died cleanly.

　　 "So, what is Myers pursuing from you?" Joe asked Yanan, and heartily sighed the darkness and horror of this world.

　　啧, get rid of the traitor just get rid of the traitor.

　　 The Rittal family handled the traitor very simply. Put it directly into a wine barrel, fill it with volcanic ash and cement, and then throw it into the deep sea. After all, there is no trace of him in the world.

　　 Look at the courtiers of these kingdoms, these nobles of noble origin!

　　 Why are the methods so dirty?

　　 To kill, but also to use his death to squeeze the last bit of oil and water, the last bit of value!

　　 With such a dark method, Joe couldn't help but admit more and more that Yanan's tragic situation at this moment really deserved it.

Joe had no doubt that when Anan made this plan, he must have shouted in his heart-"For the benefit of the Kingdom of Saint Xia", or "For the glory of the King", or "Great Great Muci "Fu Sheng Xia" and other high-sounding slogans.

"Myers, Myers..." Yanan laughed to Joe weirdly: "He would actually ask about something other than Franco's death, and he knew clearly that it happened in Pink at the same time. Mermaid."

After sighing and taking a light cigar, Yanan puffed out a small ring of smoke. He said heavily, "It seems that the hand of the National Resources Investigation Office of the Foreign Ministry of the Durham Empire has reached in. The Saint Xia Navy Headquarters is here."

　　 Joe's eyes widened in shock.

　　 How did this matter have something to do with the San Xia Naval Headquarters again?

　　 Yanan slowly said that his consumption today was too much, his speaking speed was not fast, and he was a little stuttered. His head was shocked and his thinking was a little confused. He occasionally had to pause and think carefully about some details.

　　 After another fiasco ten years ago.

　　 In ten years, the Kingdom of Saint Xia once again lay down and tried courageously and worked hard.

　　 They emptied the last gold coins of the national treasury and the royal family's private treasury, and even borrowed huge sums from the United Kingdom of Nice, which specializes in loan sharking, and once again stubbornly formed a powerful navy.

　　The newly formed Saint Xia Navy, in terms of the number of capital ships, far surpasses the Imperial Navy of Durham, and is outrageously the second largest navy of Medland after the Kingdom of Ice and Sea.

　　 Moreover, the Kingdom of Saint Xia was founded by the navy after all. They have accumulated a lot of advanced technology in the shipbuilding industry, and many outstanding talents have extremely advanced ideas.

　　 A series of new battleships launched by them. The data of each battleship, whether in terms of speed, defense, gun position, endurance, survivability, etc., far surpassed the battleships of the Durham Empire that have been launched successively in the past few years.

　　 Regardless of quantity or quality, the Saint Xia Navy once again crushed the Royal Navy of the Durham Empire.

The new generation of naval officers of the Saint Xia Kingdom have also grown up. With hatred of the Durham Empire, they bear the blood and blood of the predecessors of the Saint Xia Navy, and shoulder the ardent entrustment of the Saint Xia royal family, they have begun to deliberately create friction at sea. .

　　 Although the number one enemy of the Saint Xia Kingdom is the Ice Sea Kingdom, the Saint Xia Kingdom is not stupid. The Ice Sea Kingdom now has a naval power far surpassing them. Of course, persimmon must choose a soft one!

　　The naval strength of the Dren Empire is just right for it to be tall, short, fat and thin. Who should not bully him?

　　 Relying on bullying the Royal Navy of the Durham Empire, and taking training and training with them, turning a rookie and sailor into a senior veteran, you can kill two birds with one stone and enjoy the boundless happiness!

　　 "Nine months ago, the Second Squadron of the Black Continent of the Navy of the Kingdom of Saint Xia, in the fury sea of ​​the southernmost part of the Black Continent, discovered an investigation fleet directly under the Overseas Hydrographic Survey Bureau of the Durham Imperial Navy."

　　 Yanan curled his lips and whispered: "An extremely weak fleet equipped with only two fast frigates."

　　 "In only a quarter of an hour, the Royal Navy wiped out the reconnaissance fleet and captured thousands of prisoners."

Yanan took a breath and looked at Joe with a weird look: "The Durham Imperial Army is worthy of the Durham Imperial Army. Whether it is a traditional army or a new navy, the'hungry wolf cubs' are fierce and resemble Dedicated to loyalty like a dog. Of the hundreds of captured Navy officers and soldiers, none of them confided a word."

　　 "Their affiliation, their mission, their destination, all the news about the survey fleet, the Saint Xia Navy exhausted all means and could not get even a word from them."

　　 "But ~www.ltnovel.com~ there are a lot of technicians in that fleet. It's not difficult to open their mouths."

　　 "What did you find?" Joe asked quickly.

Yanan closed his eyes vigorously, and he said solemnly: "South of the Black Continent, across the Furious Sea, three small land masses connected by peninsulas and land bridges, the total area of ​​the three land masses is roughly equivalent to 1.5. The mainland of the Durham Empire, the size of the five kingdoms of Saint Xia."

　　 "The route map to the three continents, the hydrological data along the way, the island channels where fresh water is supplied everywhere, and even the distribution maps and initial survey maps of strategic mineral deposits along the coast of the three continents."

"All the data has been made into a detailed survey report, which was escorted by a second-tier battleship, three third-tier battleships, and twelve fast frigates. It returned to Tulum Port one and a half months ago and was escorted by the Durham Imperial Navy’s overseas hydrographic survey. The elite secrets of the Data Investigation Bureau were carried and sent to the Imperial Capital of Durham."

　　 Yanan's expression became even more weird.

"According to the "Public Law for the Development of Overseas Colonies in the Medland Countries" enacted ten years ago, the newly discovered overseas territories will benefit from the prospecting country automatically for fifty years. In addition, there are There are more complex rights clauses, representing astronomical wealth and power!"

　　 "The only remaining survey report in the world is the pass to that new land of wealth."

　　 "On the night of mid-autumn, the special commissioner of the Saint Xia Naval Headquarters, with a huge amount of money, purchased this survey report from the Pink Mermaid."

　　 "That stupid woman, Hai Niwei, is here to wipe her butt."

　　 "The survey report was lost halfway through her escort."

　　 Yanan slowly said, "The survey report is in my hands. Myers is right, in my hands!"
