"Your Majesty, they seem to have raised the flag of surrender."

On the main ship [Dinghai] of the Yan State Fleet, Qin Ze, who was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and resting, said "hmm" after hearing the soldiers' report.

He did not open his eyes, but just pursed his lips and said, "Know the current situation."

"But they came here with such fanfare. If they can't win, they will just surrender. That would be too easy for them."

"Do not care."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a while.

"Your Majesty, not only did they raise the flag of surrender, they also sent a warship."

Hearing this, Qin Ze pondered for a few breaths and then opened his eyes. He stretched out his hand, and the soldier beside him respectfully handed him a telescope.

"Are those cannons on the bow deck?" Qin Ze, who was looking ahead through a telescope, asked uncertainly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that is a disassembled artillery piece."

Qin Ze put down the telescope and asked, "How many warships were driven to Coral Island by us before?"

"It's hard to count the exact number, but including the initial federal fleet, there were at least 200 warships. However, the enemy warships were severely damaged. Most of the large warships ran aground on the way to the coral island coast. We sank those that looked intact."

"Then there should be quite a few people landing, right?"

"Well... there are thousands of them, from various countries. They were all driven to the coral island according to your Majesty's orders."

Qin Ze nodded: "Speaking of which, this surrendered fleet is the one that escaped in the last South China Sea War, but this time they seem to have a lot more warships."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The number of fleets from various countries that came this time has increased significantly. These guys are still so evil that they have formed an alliance to invade our country... Damn it."

"Alliance....ha." Qin Ze touched his face, chuckled, and then he said:

"Don't attack the enemy ship that's coming. Extradite the person in charge on that ship to the Dinghai."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although he had already imagined the power of the Yan Kingdom's warships in his mind, seeing Lucat with his own eyes at such a close distance was still so terrifying that his heart was pounding.

The shiny outer armor, the huge central turret, and the strange machine that was spewing white smoke, the sails on the masts were also fully drawn, but these heavy ironclad ships could have a speed far exceeding that of their own warships. Lucat could not see the oars sticking out of the cabin, but only the dark sea water rising and falling.

He even had a vague feeling that there was some unknown sea monster in the sea that was dragging these ironclad ships.

These things made Lucat even more terrified. He was glad that he did not attack the Yan Kingdom fleet together with other nations before. Now he was also glad that the Yan Kingdom people did not attack the Lightning directly, but wanted to extradite him.

For now, this is good news.

A moment later, under the command of the Yan State warship that came to tow, Lucat entered the fleet alone with a nervous mood and boarded the Dinghai.

When his feet landed on the hard deck, Lucat realized that even the deck of this warship was paved with iron plates, which made him even more shocked. Looking at all the countries in the Leon continent, there has never been such a warship, and such an ironclad warship has the strength to dominate the entire ocean.

He raised his head, only glanced at the angry Yan Bing on the decks on both sides, and then quickly lowered his head. Soon someone around him shouted:

"Hurry up and pay your respects to our Majesty!"

Lucat was shocked. It turned out that the Emperor of Yan was in this fleet. He thought for a moment, but did not look up at the upper deck. Instead, he knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said respectfully:

"Marshal Lucart of the Rose Fleet of Shenglu Kingdom comes to pay his respects to His Majesty."

"Do you want to surrender?" a cold voice came.

Lucat said hurriedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, we surrender. We do not want to engage in any battle with your fleet. I hope Your Majesty can..."

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"You know you're wrong?"

"Well... yes." Lucat's face gradually became hot, but he still said it obediently.

"Are you scared?"

Hearing this, Lucat raised his head and saw a young man sitting in a chair on the upper deck. He had his hands crossed and no expression on his face, but his knife-like eyes were fixed on him.

Lukat's heart tightened, and he said, "I'm scared, and I know I'm wrong."

Hearing this, Qin Ze pursed his lips, squinted his eyes and said: "Last time in the South China Sea, you ran very fast."

"Were you the commander that time?"

Lukat nodded and replied nervously, "It's me."

"Oh, it's you too... um... you guys ran pretty fast this time."

"But why do you want to run away before the fight even starts? Aren't you here to attack our country?" Qin Ze crossed his legs and said calmly.

Lucat took a deep breath and shook his head, "Sorry, Your Majesty, this was our wrong decision."

"We shouldn't have been involved in this war."

After saying this, Qin Ze said coldly: "You are smart. You judged that you can't beat us, so you escape without fighting. You can escape unscathed in the South China Sea, but this time... you can't escape."

Lucat was startled and said hurriedly:

"Your Majesty! We don't want to participate in this war at all. We were forced into it!"

"Forced?" Qin Ze raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.

"Yes! We were forced to do this!" Lukat immediately explained: "You should know that the Sari country is the strongest in our Leon continent. They have been strong for hundreds of years. My country is right next to them and is controlled by them everywhere."

"Ever since Isabella ascended the throne, this ambitious woman has used us many times to gain benefits for the Sa Ri Kingdom. This time... it was her idea to attack the Yan Kingdom!"

"That's what happened." Qin Ze said calmly, and then added: "So you escaped twice?"

"Yes! This is an ignominious war, so I don't want to fight it!" Although still kneeling on the ground, Lucat had straightened his back and spoke in a voice full of justice.
