It is August, and Miluo Island, located in the tropical region, is still so hot. Fortunately, the island environment is filled with sea breezes around it, sootheing people's hot mood.

Dean Barrow stood at the bow of the ship, as the personal secretary of Nord's ambassador to the Empire, he was assigned to the rebellious Miluo Island to negotiate.

It was said to be a negotiation, but in Dean's eyes, the bottom line of negotiation given to him by the ambassador was completely a request for peace.

"It's so humiliating. My kingdom of Nord actually demanded a ceasefire with an overseas island!"

Dean thought in a complicated mood about the ambassador's instructions to him before leaving.

First, you must redeem the Valkyrie Knight Master Morina without any harm. This is the top priority of this negotiation.

The Valkyrie family was furious at the expeditionary force's performance, expressed great disappointment with Duke Louis, and put pressure on the king and the duke to end the war as soon as possible.

Second, the middle-level officers in this expeditionary force were redeemed by Duke Louis, and they must ensure their personal safety.

Behind these middle-level officers are all noble forces with famous surnames and noble forces, and they are intricately related to the Nord noble circle. Behind each officer is a large group of noble forces to protect them, and Duke Louis has to care about their opinions.

Third, Miluo Island requires that it continue to provide sugarcane, and the price must be fixed on time and the price is referenced to the market price in the mainland.

This was a request made by the Duke. Under the pressure of the King and the Knights, Duke Louis agreed to make a regression, but proposed that the supply of raw materials for the Duke's sugar industry must be guaranteed.

Because the raw material base of Miluo Island was out of stock, the price of raw sugar in mainland China controlled by the Duke was on the verge of collapse, and various small workshops emerged one after another.

In the face of interests, the nobles of the countries behind them would not care about the threat of Duke Louis.

If the problem of raw material supply is not solved as soon as possible, the Duke's leader worked hard for several years, and the mainland sugar industry, which had just formed a monopoly, would collapse.

For this reason, the Duke swallowed his anger and used the market price to exchange for raw materials supply, which was used to stabilize the vacuum period of re-expanding the raw material base during this period.

Finally, there were ransom slips from some grassroots officers and soldiers. Although Ambassador Nord immediately passed the message with a carrier pigeon and briefly transmitted the war situation and subsequent events back to the country, the Knights and the Duke's reaction was still too urgent.

Therefore, it is only two days left to raise ransom for the families of ordinary soldiers and grassroots officers.

In such a short time, most people cannot get enough ransom, but the pigeons waiting to fly cannot wait.

So the ransom list that appeared in Dean's hands was only two short pages.

Thinking that thousands of Nord soldiers would be left on Miluo Island forever, Dean, who had a sense of patriotic honor, felt uncomfortable.

.

Turning his head and looking aside, an island that appeared in his sight caught his attention.

"Who are those?"

Dean pointed to the figures that appeared on the island, and the ships anchored near the island asked Ashley who was traveling with him.

Ashley, who also went to Miluo Island to conduct holy water transactions, explained:

"These are people from Miluo Island. They occupied all the nearby islands, and the islands were all nobles and gang members who were enfeoffed by Miluo Island."

Ashley only learned about Link’s plan not long ago.

I discussed with my father and found that this was really a perfect strategy in the analysis of the think tank.

First, it can satisfy the desire of Link's subordinates for status, which is exactly the ultimate goal of most people giving up farming and doing business, choosing to lick blood from the edge of a knife, joining mercenaries and working for others.

Secondly, we can better grasp the surrounding areas and add guarantees to the security situation of Miluo Island. Arranging troops on these surrounding islands can prevent the enemy's raid on Miluo Island in advance. When the island is not cleaned up, the troops on the island will threaten the rear of the invading enemy, making the other party lose sight of the other.

Due to the limitations of the times, they failed to see the third point, which is also the true meaning of Link's arrangement.

The surrounding islands were scattered and colonized, providing industrial raw materials for Miluo Island, and accelerating the industrialization and development of Miluo Island.

This is the top priority of Link's plan.

.

The ship Dean was riding in was under the command of the Ashley Independence Fleet and was an old friend of the Miluo Island Fleet, so it was not blocked.

Dean stared at the passing islands and the busy construction scene above, and felt even more irritable.

"It seems that this Miluo Island is not a brainless pirate force. It will be more and more difficult for Nord to find the place here again in the future."

The Duke led thousands of elite troops and a whole fleet of Nord Navy, but failed to successfully wipe out the rebels.

After a period of development, the Miluo Island power will only become more and more solid.

Looking at the busy Miluo Island fleet and the working leaders in front of him, Dean thought about the island fortresses that would be formed in the future, scattered around Miluo Island, and he really couldn't imagine any possibility of winning.

.

Finally arrived at Miluo Island. After getting off the boat, Dean was led by a native of a fluent and vernacular language to the manor for a detailed discussion.

Link stayed and discussed the Holy Water deal with Ashley.

"That person is Ambassador Nord's personal secretary. Don't you have to negotiate with him in person?"

Ashley looked at Dean who was taken away by Carl in the distance and asked Link with confusion.

"What is my current identity? Do I need to take a secretary so seriously?"

Link answered arrogantly with a stinky face.

Of course this is not the case. He stayed because he had something to discuss with Ashley.

"After a while, I will take people to the northern border, and you will have to help take care of Miluo Island."

"Oh? Isn't Vigia invading the savage army of Omen Wolf? Why are you going there?"

"It's a private matter."

"I don't want to tell me the reason, and I still want me to take care of Miluo Island? Humph."

Link glanced at Ashley from head to toe with surprise until she blushed.

"You took the wrong medicine? Why are you still learning to be a pig and humming?"

Ashley looked embarrassed when she heard this and glared at Link with hatred.

"Did you hear what Victor Mare has released? Are you scared?"

"Victor Marre? What did he say?"

Listening to Ashley's words, Link felt a little confused.

"He said he wanted to show you something nice, probably because you got the same title as his Viscount, and felt that you were not qualified and lowered the weight of his Viscount."

Ashley shrugged Link and explained to Link gloatingly.

'It shouldn't have been discovered by the Whale Bone Island, otherwise I would have brought people here to cause trouble for me long ago.'

Link thought to himself that he was not afraid of Victor, the pirate king, but was about to leave and did not want to delay his trip because of some troubles.

"These pirates in the south are not very smart. I will settle the score with them when I come back from the north."

Link looked arrogant and arrogant, and Ashley did not doubt that Miluo Island had this strength. After fighting with the Nord Expeditionary Force, she became more and more aware of Link's power.
