Ouyang Shuo's words made the atmosphere among the Spanish Squadron rather weird.
The Spanish Lords had also noticed that their troops were looking at them with weird expressions. If they made them charge to fight the enemy now, it would instantly cause an uproar.
Even the adventure gamemode players were feeling uneasy.
After all, in the prior galleon retreating operation, the players and sailors had an intense conflict. Their relationship was like a rubber band pulled tight; a little more exertion, and it would break.
Now, with Shanhai City supporting them, who knows what these natives would do.
”Cough, guys let's quickly pay the money and leave. I do not want to stay at this stupid place for any longer.” Pepe looked at the Lord players; his glance contained a hint of warning.
”Forget it; let's end it like this!”
Observing the situation, the Lord players had no choice but to compromise; however, bitterness filled their eyes.
At this moment, a majestic scene occurred.
The voyage squadron set up a payment station to the north. Any boat that wanted to pass, regardless of their identity as player or NPC, would have to pay 200 gold per person.
However, when the turn of navy general Alvaro arrived, he was stopped.
”What is it? Do you all want to go back on your words?”
The following Lord's face sunk as he spoke in an unhappy tone.
During this country war, the ones that had lost the most were these Lord gamemode players. Not only did they lose the cannons and warships they had spent so much on; they even had to leave behind troops based on their monetary situation; they could only bring away their elites.
This pent-up anger was too hard to swallow. However, in this situation, they had no choice but to bow their heads. If they truly fought, the first to disagree would be the adventure gamemode players.
The Lord who had spoken was Casillas, the second-best Lord in Spain and also the strongest Lord along the coast. Alvaro was a general under him.
”Other people can pass but this old general cannot,” said the guard as he pointed at Alvaro.
”Why?”
”The Lord said to invite the old general to the voyage squadron as a guest.”
”Do not go too far!”
Casillas felt furious when he heard these words. Even a fool would not believe such a stupid reason like 'inviting him as a guest'. Shanhai City obviously wanted to keep Alvaro.
”These are the instructions from the Lord; we are just following them.” The soldiers did not budge.
”You!” Casillas's rage turned into laughter, ”Good! Ask the Lianzhou Lord to speak to me.”
”The Lord is temporarily not seeing guests.” The guard stuck to his instructions.
The situation dragged on like this.
The guards did not let them go, but he did not forcefully snatch the man either. Facing the shouts of Casillas, they acted like they heard none of it. They were like iron guards, not budging no matter what.
With that, the people queuing behind could only wait.
As the matter dragged on, they were naturally unhappy too.
Since they could not see Ouyang Shuo, the other players could only try to persuade him to take a step back, ”Forget it, since it has already reached this stage, why are you still doing this? He will just be a guest and will return in a few days.”
”That's right. People are inviting you so nicely; do not reject it.”
In truth, these words were incredibly fake. The Spanish actions were just like the phrase, 'You dying is better than I dying.'
The players only cared about escaping from this place. As for the loses of others, how would they bother? They would only grumble about Casillas being incorrigible and wasting their time.
Casilla's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth. Even with his upbringing, he was on the verge of exploding. Alvaro was the best general in Spain, the trump card of trump cards, so how would he give this general up so easily?
The longer this dragged on, the more annoyed and triggered the other players grew. At the later stages, it was not only the normal players; even the guild leaders stepped out to try and convince him.
”Forget it. We have lost this time; we are under their mercy.”
”That's right. China has an old phrase, 'If we do not bear the small things, it'll mess up the big plans. Since they want to keep him, your actions will not make a difference.”
”What if their patience runs dry, and they decide to forcefully keep us here? We would be in trouble then.”
Each attempt at persuading him was like knives stabbing into his chest, making him spit blood, ”Shameless, really shameless!”
Casillas's hatred toward his brothers even exceeded his hatred toward Ouyang Shuo.
What kind of people in the world were hated the most? They do not know what you have been through and how much stick you have eaten, just trying to convince you to, 'Be more magnanimous.'
