Chapter 951

“Eric.”

The warm sunlight shone on the beach. Eric recovered from his thoughts and found Liu Chen staring at him.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Eric forced a smile and continued to wait for Liu Chen’s next words.

“We just caught a Spanish officer. It is said that you and the Spanish often interact. Perhaps you would recognize him,” Liu Chen gestured with his mouth.

The unconscious Miguel was now trapped against a coconut tree on the beach.

“Miguel!” Eric was startled. He recognized the de facto ruler of Bohol Island at a glance.

Yue Yun and Liu Chen noticed Eric’s expression. Clearly, this person was indeed an important Spanish figure.

“Men, wake him up,” Liu Chen said seriously.

Soon after, a soldier brought a bucket of seawater and poured it directly over Miguel’s head.

Instantly, Miguel completely sobered up. Looking up, he saw one familiar face and two unfamiliar Eastern faces.

“Miguel, long time no see. I never expected our second meeting to be here, in this manner,” Eric’s face was filled with mockery.

In terms of history, both the Netherlands and Spain had once been maritime hegemons. Both countries basically reached Asia one after another.

Originally, the Netherlands had the ability to control all the islands here, but unexpectedly, Spain also intervened, carving away a portion of what was originally their sphere of influence.

Later, Britain and France followed closely. Coupled with the decline of the Netherlands, their influence here grew smaller and smaller.

Therefore, he agreed to the joint operation this time. This way, they could drive out the Spanish with the Great Yu Empire’s help.

After all, while Spain feared them, they also feared Spain. Both sides feared the other would seize their colonies.

But cooperating with the Great Yu Empire was different. Now, by treaty, they were allies. Moreover, the Great Yu Empire’s rubber trade was firmly controlled by them. In his opinion, the Great Yu Empire would not turn hostile after driving out the Spanish.

“Eric, you son of a bitch! So it was you colluding with the Great Yu Empire to attack us Spanish! Remember, this means you Dutch are at war with us Spanish! In Europe, we’ll make you pay dearly!” Miguel cursed.

Eric remained unconcerned. “Then you can try. Now, our Netherlands has an army equipped with new firearms. They will utterly defeat them.”

After purchasing a large quantity of firearms from the Great Yu Empire, the Dutch Parliament immediately decided to arm the Netherlands with this equipment.

Miguel grew even angrier upon hearing this. He opened his mouth to curse again, when a gleaming longsword was suddenly thrust into the ground in front of him.

Yue Yun said sternly to Emile, “You are mistaken. This time, our Great Yu Empire allied with the Netherlands to attack you. It is not the Netherlands allied with us to attack.”

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Miguel’s forehead. At this moment, he felt a faint unease.

“Your Majesty is very angry about your Spanish massacre of my Great Yu Empire citizens. Today’s battle is our retaliation against you. Remember, the Great Yu Empire always believes in an eye for an eye, and blood for blood when dealing with enemies!” Yue Yun continued, speaking coldly.

Miguel’s heart was dead. He had guessed correctly. The Great Yu Empire had come precisely for his massacre of the Hwayeon Kingdom. Now, he began to regret it. If not for his greed, if not for his sense of luck, he would not have brought about the current disaster.

However, his fierce nature made this thought of Miguel’s flash by. He sneered, “Your occupation of the Spanish royal city will soon spread to Europe. Spain will not let you off. In Europe, you will gain another mortal enemy! You will soon understand our might.”

“We Great Yu Empire people never worry about having a few enemies. Now, you’d better worry more about your own life.”

Yue Yun sneered repeatedly.

With that, he said to Liu Chen, “Take him to the highest spire in the royal city. Let him see how we destroy the Spanish royal city.”

Liu Chen grinned mischievously. They knew very well that the Spanish royal city was Spain’s pride. Destroying this royal city in front of them would be the greatest humiliation for them.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The roar of cannons continued. The royal city was in utter chaos. Great Yu Empire soldiers had already entered the city. They killed resisting soldiers and searched for Spanish in the city, holding them captive.

In the midst of the chaos, the entire city was in disarray.

Miguel was escorted by soldiers into the city. Looking at the ruined streets, his expression changed. This was Spain’s hundred years of management here, and now everything was reduced to ashes.

Soon, Miguel was escorted to a white tall tower in the city. Soldiers took him to the rooftop.

At this point, he looked towards his Governor-General’s mansion. Great Yu Empire soldiers were tearing down the Spanish flag from the flagpole and throwing it into the flames. The yellow dragon flag was slowly rising.

This scene made Miguel painfully close his eyes. If he was the last Governor-General of the royal city, he would be reviled by the Spanish.

“Great Yu Empire, just you wait! Our combined fleet will arrive in Dengzhou, and you will pay the price!” Miguel said with a vicious smile.

Governor-General’s Mansion.

Yue Yun and Liu Chen had just arrived. The venomous curses coming from the high tower did not stir any ripples in their hearts. Soon, Miguel and his soldiers would face the judgment of the Great Yu Empire.

These executioners who committed massacres would not escape. So, they would not quarrel with the dead.

“General Yue Yun, this is the Spanish royal city’s Governor-General’s Mansion,” Eric introduced. He had been here before.

Yue Yun nodded. Now, the soldiers were gathering intelligence in the Governor-General’s Mansion. Translators continuously identified the importance of the documents the soldiers found there.

“From now on, this is no longer what it was. In the future, this will be the Great Yu Empire’s Governor-General’s Mansion,” Yue Yun said calmly.

“That is natural. As agreed upon previously, we Dutch only want the spice trading rights,” Eric said with a smile.

Bohol Island and its surrounding islands were Spain’s most important spice supply points. Eric had always coveted them. Now that Spain was defeated, they naturally wanted to monopolize the spice trade here.

As the two were speaking, a translator suddenly walked over and handed Yue Yun a letter.

“General, this is a letter from Spain. The content of the letter is a request for Miguel to cooperate with British and French warships to launch a surprise attack on Dengzhou military port.”

“Surprise attack on Dengzhou military port!” Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Yue Yun’s back. He hastily asked, “When was this letter written?”

“A month ago,” the translator said.

Eric’s face immediately turned pale. “Oh no! No wonder the number of Spanish warships in the military port was wrong! This is trouble!”
