From Propulsion City To Multiverse

Chapter 44: Sky Island Raiders

Sky Island, Bika.

February 7, 1500 on the Haiyuan calendar.

An air fleet consisting of 12 airships suddenly appeared not far from Bika.

After hearing the priest's report, Pika's god Kahn, with a group of guards, appeared at the edge of the island cloud on the west side of Pika.

The fleet of 12 airships was suspended about 800 meters away, and the oppressive feeling of hiding the sky and the sun made the air islanders very worried.

In fact, the empty island is not a paradise, and there are not a few pirates from the Qinghai Sea.

For example, the Golden Lion who was just arrested last year, his Air Pirates have visited Pika, Angel Island and other air islands before.

The upwelling current of Gaya Island, which is a near-death situation, and the air route of the top of the West Sky, many Qinghai people enter each air island every year.

Kahn stared nervously at the fleet, feeling like he was facing the Air Pirates. He hurriedly dispatched the priest to negotiate with the other side.

Just before the priest passed, a team appeared on the airship, and Mamen appeared in front of Kahn and others with a dark scepter.

"I'm Kahn, the god of Bika, who is your Excellency? This is the territory of the Flying Sky Pirates." Kahn tentatively said, and took out a flag of the Flying Sky Pirates.

Obviously Kahn also knows the power of foxes and tigers.

Of course, it's no secret that Bika is an affiliate of the Flying Sky Pirates, even Angel Island.

It's just that the golden lion doesn't look down on the empty island that lacks resources. It is only a backup territory. The core area of ​​​​the Flying Sky Pirates was mainly in the new world and the empty island above the new world.

The empty island above the paradise is just a dispensable nominal territory.

Especially after the golden lion escaped from prison, he directly abandoned the new world and most of the empty islands, and has been hiding in the windless belt between Paradise and the East China Sea, planning the so-called "big plan".

"Flying Sky Pirates? Haha..." Mammon said in a shifted voice, "The Golden Lion was arrested by the Navy last year, and it is estimated that there is no way to come and manage the sky island."

"What?!" Kahn was shocked.

Mammon didn't explain anything, and directly touched Daoyun with the scepter, a large ice crystal formed in an instant, and then dense ice thorns emerged from the ground.

All the sky islanders were surrounded by ice thorns, and Kahn's face was pale: "Nature...is..."

And Anilu, who was secretly hiding in the bushes, was also surrounded by sharp ice thorns at this time. He didn't dare to move at all. If he dared to move now, he would definitely be pierced by the ice thorns.

Mammon tapped the ground with the scepter again, and all the ice thorns suddenly turned into water vapor again.

"Mr. Kahn, I'm Mamen, the consul of the Sky Cloud Federation. I'm very happy to meet you." After speaking, Mamen tapped the ground again with the scepter.

There was a long marble table and two marble chairs in front of him. After he sat down, he said with a smile, "Mr. Kahn, please take a seat."

Gollum! Kahn forcibly calmed down, sat on the opposite chair, and then asked, "Your Excellency Mamen, if there is anything that needs to be done for you, this old man will do his best."

Regarding Kahn's low profile and sense of interest, Mamen smiled even more, and said with a smile: "I hope Bika can establish friendly relations with our Tianyun Federation. This is a specific treaty for establishing diplomatic relations. Mr. Kahn can take a look."

After speaking, Mamen handed a document to the other party.

Build friendly relationships? Kahn seemed to have 10,000 grass and mud horses rushing past in his heart. In the battle just now, he had to think that the so-called Tianyun Federation was here to destroy Bika.

However, Kahn quickly put away his inner complaints and opened the treaty of establishing diplomatic relations.

This treaty has a lot of content. When summed up, it is equal relations between the two sides, free trade, mutual recognition of each other's currencies, legal exchanges between the people, approval of tariffs, extradition, and mutual assistance.

A total of 15 aspects are involved, which seem to be very friendly on the surface. For example, one of them allows citizens of Bika to apply for naturalization of the Tianyun Federation, provided that the principle is voluntary.

For another example, in terms of tariffs, the two sides recognize each other as most-favored-nation treatment.

For a relatively primitive society like Bika, they couldn't even notice the hidden traps.

Bika, who is still half-farming and half-hunting, has an extremely fragile economic system, and Kahn cannot understand the terrible suppression of the agricultural country by the industrial country.

After reading a series of terms, the only part that makes Kahn a little undecided is the terms of renting Bika Southwest Baibaihai.

The Tianyun Federation requested to lease the barren white and white sea to the southwest of Bika Island, with an annual rent of 500,000 gold yuan (approximately equal to 500,000 Baileys).

After thinking about it again and again, Kahn thought of Mamen's dismounting just now, and he didn't dare to offend the other party too much. After all, in his opinion, there was nothing too much about this treaty.

"Your Excellency Mammon, I agree to sign the friendship treaty."

Mammon said with a smile: "My friend, I wish our friendship, like the sun and moon in the sky, will last forever."

The two sides signed the "Tianyun-Bika Friendship Treaty" in Chinese and Yuewen in duplicate, formally establishing the relationship.

That night, Kahn held a special banquet for Mamen and others in the temple.

The next day, on the southwest Baibaihai Sea, about 3 kilometers away from Bika Island, Mamen informed Lucifer that after opening the shadow channel, a large amount of water vapor was transported here.

Then release a high concentration of N hydrogen particles to quickly build an island cloud belonging to the Sky Cloud Federation.

Soon an island cloud that was slightly larger than Bika Island appeared on the southwest side of Bika Island. The distance between the two was less than two kilometers, and a cloud road connected the two places.

The island is named "Sunset Island" because the island will appear orange-yellow when the sun shines, just like a sunset.

The residents of Bika Island have also seen the appearance of Sunset Island these days, and there is still a lot of soil that Sky Islanders dream of. If it wasn't for the deterrence of Mamen before, it is estimated that they would all have to snatch it.

These days, Anilu has also been secretly observing this group of mysterious people, especially since the other party also has no wings, which makes him feel like he has found the same kind.

In fact, Sky Islander's wings are just decorations. The reason why Anilu has no wings is because he is an orphan.

On the main street of Bika, five ghost soldiers in combat uniforms, in a shop, posted a job advertisement at the door.

This store is also one of the official industries of Tianyun Federation in Bika. It mainly sells grain, vegetables, fruits and meat, as well as clothes and some daily necessities.

For the resource-poor Bika aborigines, their food sources are mainly to hunt wild empty fish and empty beasts in the White Sea, or to collect some wild vegetables and fruits.

The market here is also dominated by small farmers, and the public will sell the excess part of the empty fish caught in the small market.

The population of the entire Bika is only about 3,764 people, and resources determine the upper limit of population development here.

Although the shopping mall of Tianyun Trading Company has been open for almost a week, few local people come to consume it.

Mamen, who is in charge of the economy of the Revolutionary Federation, knows the reason. People have no money, so naturally they will not buy things, not to mention that the goods of Tianyun Trading Company are all traded in gold and dollars.

What needs to be done now is to use the method of labor exchange to make the residents of Bika rich, so that the products of Tianyun Federation can be sold.

As soon as the job advertisement came out, many people passing by Sky Island saw it.

[Recruiting sailors requires young and strong people, no bad habits, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, monthly salary of 5,000 gold yuan, 5 days off each month, successful applicants, 2,000 gold yuan of settlement allowance...

Recruiting farm workers, asking for…]

There are 12 kinds of advertised positions, and the number of recruits is planned to reach about 500 people.

For Bika, which has a small population, if so many young laborers are sucked out, it will be hollowed out directly.
