Chapter 229 Spider
"Governor, although we are at home in this war, the opponent's strength is too strong. All kinds of weapons that we have never seen before are emerging one after another. Our navy is almost unable to hold on. There are only three ships left in the Royal Giant."
Listening to the stories of his subordinates in front of him, Daniel clenched his hands tightly, and the flesh on his face twitched slightly.
The moment the first gun sounded, Daniel knew that this day would come, but this day would come too quickly.
He has many good players, but the other party's machinery that can fly in the sky is really hard to defend.
When the battle situation expands to a full battlefield, unless it is strong enough to the level of Julio, the governor of Cat Island, the personal strength is compressed to the minimum.
"The guys from the Explorer Association recruited all fishing and cargo ships. They recruited young and middle-aged people on the island to board the ship. Judging from the intercepting enemy telegrams, they were also supporting them. What they fought until now was logistics."
"Governor General, there is a little noise on the island recently. They feel that they may surrender now..."
"Touch!" The wooden table was smashed directly, and Daniel's roar echoed in the room.
"Then tell those cowards that unless I die, He Fangdao will never surrender!!"
Daniel's chest was swelling rapidly. Are the good days on the island of short-sighted people dizzy? If surrender was useful, he would have surrendered long ago.
The rules of the earth and sea will always be winners, and the benefits obtained by using flattery will only be easily taken away by the winners again.
"Who?" Daniel suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door.
When he saw Margaret walking in from outside the door, the expression on his face instantly softened.
"Oh, it's my pearl. I heard from that boy Jack that you've done a very good job at sea these days."
At this time, Margaret's face was less naive and more firm. The cruel war had a huge impact on a person.
"Sir, my brother asked me to send this over." The girl handed over a document in her hand.
"Well, I understand. You are safe to defend on the east side of the island. I will definitely not let them occupy the island of Cavendish." Daniel reached out and took it.
"Well, I believe that my father is invincible!" Margaret pointed his head.
"This is my good daughter."
A trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of Margaret's eyes, "I was disobedient when I was a child and often made my father angry. Now I understand that in the world, I am truly good to me, only my family."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Daniel showed a gratified smile on his face, "The pearl of our family has finally grown up."
The relationship between father and daughter, who had quarreled when they met, finally heated up again. Just as the father and daughter were talking, a soldier ran in with a scroll.
"Governor, this is a letter sent by the enemy just now."
Daniel opened the scroll and saw the smile on his face became brighter. "Hahaha, today's good things are really one after another."
"What is it written on my father?" Margaret asked curiously.
"The boy Swan can no longer hold on. He agreed to negotiate on the offshore tomorrow morning."
In this case, whoever speaks first basically means admitting defeat.
The next morning, all the remaining warships on Ho Fang Island lined up on the sea, and the Governor Daniel of Ho Fang Island stood on the Royal Giant in the middle with his children.
On the deck, Jack was smoking a cigar leisurely. He ate the ashes on the side of the boat. "It's finally over after so long. I'll have a good rest when I go back this time."
"Don't rush to rest!! If this guy Swan can't give a satisfactory answer, this matter is not over yet!" Daniel's voice was filled with depression.
Time passed little by little, but the fleet on the British Islands was still missing, and Daniel gradually became a little impatient. "Is this kid trying to deceive me? What's the point of doing this!"
Margaret asked with some concern: "My father, will he attract my attention here? And then sneak attacks from other places?"
Jack shook his head. "It is unlikely that, the other part of the island, I have arranged a quick shuttle ship long ago."
Even though he said that, Jack still asked someone to check the situation.
The news came back soon, and within 50 kilometers of Hefang Island, no enemy ships appeared.
"Hmph! This guy is probably so scared that he doesn't even dare to negotiate. If this shameful thing is spread, I'll see how he will be in the North Sea in the future. Let's go back. Your mother hasn't seen you for a long time."
Daniel on the deck said as he walked towards the cabin. Before he could walk a few steps, he saw his daughter and son standing still without moving. They opened their eyes slightly to the sea in the distance.
When he turned around, he was surprised to find that a blurred white light appeared on the dark sea surface.
As the light slowly approached, everyone on the ship opened their mouths in surprise. It was not a searchlight for a ship, but a mechanical city with a diameter of two or three kilometers.
Thick black smoke continues to emerge from the chimneys between the tall buildings, and the unimaginable metal gear structure is spliced into the lower plate of the city.
Ten metal giant legs stretched out from both sides of the city and inserted into the dark sea water, making the whole city look like a huge spider.
Hundreds of ships followed the huge spider and slowly pressed towards Hefang Island.
In front of this spider that was trembling, the Royal Giant on Hefang Island was like a toy at this time.
"This...what is this!! Even the most advanced turbines now cannot support such a large machine!!" Jack shouted excitedly.
Daniel's neck slowly twisted over and looked at his son like a rusty bearing. Now Governor He Fang's face was filled with a deep layer of despair. "Take your sister away! Come right away!"
With a "click", a brass box with a black lens fell from the sky and fell in front of Daniel.
"Isn't this Mr. Daniel, the former overlord of the North Sea? Why does he look bad now?" The extremely proud voice of Governor Swan, the governor of the British Islands, was heard from the brass box.
Daniel reached out to pick up the box, and he spoke with difficulty. "Swan, you won, Hefang Island and the other two islands are here now."
"Hahaha!! I was so happy to hear you say this, and I almost couldn't help but let you go."
"KaKa" the camera shrank slightly and turned to Margaret next to it. "Daniel, your daughter is so beautiful. I originally wanted to keep it for use, but unfortunately, she belongs to the Cavendish family, so I can only send your family to the road together."
"Buzz~" A pipe stretched out toward the lower section of the mechanical city, and a white light appeared in the front section of the pipe, and it became brighter and brighter.
"Did you forget the agreement of the Explorer Association! I have handed over the island! You must let my family go!!"
