Law of the Devil

"Say." Du Wei narrowed his eyes: "You'd better speak quickly and tell the truth, don't expect me to be deceived by you! Otherwise, that little Lufik can't bear many whips!"

Old Benka sighed, and he looked at Du Wei helplessly: "Who the hell are you, and how do you know Nanyang so well!"

Du Wei smiled: "Don't you know my identity? My name is Du Wei! Oh, of course, you may not know my name, but you must know my father's name...his name It's called Raymond! Earl Raymond, once the supreme commander of the Empire's Nanyang Expeditionary Fleet!"

Raymond?

As soon as this name was said, Lao Benka was terrified, and all thoughts were lost! !

Because, in Nanyang, Lei Meng from the Roland Empire... this name is too resounding!

robber! Butcher! Executioner! ...His hands were stained with the blood of the natives. He was a notorious invader in the hearts of the native clans and tribes, a demon who burned down their homes and enslaved them. It can be said that in Nanyang, Earl Raymond's name can even reach children's land cry.

This noble boy with a sneer on his face is actually the son of that terrifying butcher devil? !

Old Benka didn't have time to think too much, because Lufik's screams were still coming one by one! No one understands the importance of this teenager's identity better than him! No one understands the identity of this young man better than him, and what kind of profound significance it has for Nanyang!

"I say! I can say anything! I just ask you to stop your people first!" Old Benka swayed, as if he couldn't stand anymore, his face was pale, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

"Yes." Du Wei gave Ruolin a wink, and Ruolin went out immediately. After a while, the screams stopped.

Only then did Benka heave a sigh of relief, but the muscles on his face kept beating:

"My real name is Benka. I am not lying about this name. In Nanyang, there are many people named Benka. This is a common name. And my identity is not a priest of the Sunlun Tribe... ...I..." Lao Benka gritted his teeth forcefully: "My true identity is the Great Priest Elder of the United Kingdom!"

United Kingdom?

Du Wei didn't express much on his face, but he sighed secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

In fact, as early as the time when Du Wei’s father, Earl Raymond, led several expeditions, some large tribes on the vast seas of the South Seas had resisted very tenaciously, unwilling to be wiped out by the invaders from afar. However, at that time Because the disparity in power is too huge, both civilization and force are far behind the huge imperial fleet, such resistance cannot cause substantial damage to the empire's expedition.

However, with the transitional exploitation of Nanyang resources, those Nanyang tribes who had only blindly retreated had to break out a kind of desperate and tenacious resistance in order to survive. The continuous wars for decades are also extremely It greatly stimulated the development of the civilization of the Nanyang tribes. The development of the original natives in terms of force has almost reached the point of deformity. Even Du Wei's father, Earl Raymond, was concerned about the future of the Nanyang situation. A little bit of worry.

And this so-called United Kingdom, Du Wei also vaguely heard about it.

Long before the time when Earl Raymond commanded the navy, in the far south, where the empire's expeditionary force could not reach, some large tribes with relatively advanced civilizations had united countless small tribes to establish a war against the empire. And the existing "kingdom". It is said that the kingdom has hundreds of tribes of various sizes, covering more than a hundred islands, and the largest island is even as large as a province of the empire.

Ever since the rumored "United Kingdom" was established, the pressure faced by the empire's expeditionary fleet began to increase. At the beginning, because of the huge gap in force between the two sides, the pressure was not obvious, but in recent years, the Nanyang In that United Kingdom, the resistance to the Empire has begun to show some fruitful results.

They took advantage of their familiarity with the geography of the South Seas, and even learned some harassment tactics. They did not know where to steal some of the empire's shipbuilding technology, and built a batch of simple, but already quite fast warships. Watching those warships and the empire strike on the vast sea, they often even set up traps to lead the empire's naval sword to some "dead seas" full of whirlpools and hidden reefs, causing some damage to the empire.

The biggest change occurred three years ago. Three years ago, an expedition to the South Seas by the empire brought a very obvious danger signal to the empire.

Because, during an expedition three years ago, a glorious record kept by the empire was broken: zero damage to warships in frontal battles!

For a long time, in the frontal battle with those Nanyang barbarians, the imperial army has always been invincible.

The warships of the Empire have never been sunk by those Nanyang barbarians!

The huge gap in force made the imperial army hardly get any real threat on the frontal battlefield of Nanyang. For them, it is better to worry about those Nanyang tribes than the laughably crude "army" Hurricanes and whirlpools, hidden reefs, terrible weather at sea... Some generals proudly declared: We are not fighting people in the South China Sea, but fighting against the sky. As long as the weather is good, we can even launch the fleet without hindrance. To the end of the world!

But a battle three years ago finally broke the glorious record of the empire!

Under the leadership and influence of the rumored "United Kingdom", the Nanyang tribes have established a large-scale "fleet", although by the standards of the empire, the so-called "fleet" is too simple to face , the opponent's best so-called "warship" is not even half as good as an ordinary merchant ship of the empire.

However, the number of the "fleet" of the United Kingdom is too terrifying. In that battle, it is said that the opponent gathered dozens of times the number of ships of the expedition fleet. After a decisive battle at sea, the imperial fleet still gained Victory, but after that battle, the imperial warship had zero damage and was broken!

During the battle, the empire lost two sea soul-class warships, and one sea king-class warship was almost seriously injured.

This change should undoubtedly sound the alarm for the empire's military, but it seems that the empire's military did not care, after all, the previous record is too brilliant. And the enemy's too large "fleet" also gave the justification grounds.

Even an elephant, facing endless ants, may occasionally be bitten a few times.

But Du Wei learned the truth of the matter through some "channels"!

Just a few days ago, after Earl Raymond left the imperial capital, Du Wei cleaned up the study left by Earl Raymond, and found some documents that Earl Raymond put in the cabinet when he was in power... Those things were originally military documents , but after the coup d'état, during the change of regime, the management inevitably became chaotic, and the military did not recover some of the materials held by Earl Raymond—or they felt that such things were not important.

Indeed, for the military, Nanyang is still a fat sheep that can be slaughtered by itself.

But Du Wei read those materials a few days ago, learned about the battle that broke the zero casualties of the Imperial Expeditionary Force three years ago, and found many differences!

First of all, the United Kingdom of Nanyang seems to have mastered some basic tactics. Although it is a bit simpler, it has indeed entered the category of "tactics".

The opponent led the empire's fleet to a very favorable sea area for a decisive battle! It was a long and narrow sea area between two small islands. On the small islands on both sides, those Nanyang natives actually set up a group of catapults!

Those crude catapults have an extremely low hit rate, but they have a long range. On the islands on both sides, they can just cover the narrow sea area between the islands! And the low hit rate is not a problem, because those Nanyang natives are simply fighting the empire with heroic and decisive ideas! The catapults on both sides are being launched. They are almost indiscriminately "covering and attacking" the two sides fighting in the melee above the sea! Among them, the sea soul-class warship lost by the empire was hit by the catapult.

Even on the data, there are some indications that the opponent has also learned simple tactics such as "outflank the rear" and "detour on both sides"!

These people are no longer the natives who can only use earthen canoes, spears and knives! Nearly a hundred years of oppression has made them build their own civilization with a strong military nature! .
