Chapter 180 Invader Thoughts
Isaiah frowned.
In fact, he chose to be a missionary not because of how firm his faith was, but because it was one of the few ways for ordinary people like him to rise.
He was originally the second son of a minor noble family.
European aristocrats have a complete primogeniture system, which means that all the family property belongs to the eldest son. When the family is divided, his second son will receive nothing.
Generally speaking, for the sake of their children, parents will also give their second son some opportunities, such as marrying a girl with a rich dowry, or sending him to become a doctor, lawyer, or pastor.
Among pastors, those who have gone abroad to preach will be more likely to be promoted after returning home.
It is for this that Isaiah came to the East.
When he was suffering from vomiting and diarrhea due to acclimatization, he thought his life was at risk, but unexpectedly, he was saved by a mysterious potion from the East.
Fortunately, he and his teacher had learned some Eastern languages, and the most important language was the language of Daqian, the largest country in the East.
Otherwise, he would really be doomed now.
Under such circumstances, his brain started spinning rapidly.
"Dear Your Excellency, I have been ill and don't know what happened. I may not be able to answer your questions. But as you can see, I am one of the few people who can speak two languages. Please let me be your translate."
Isaiah bowed again.
"Now, could you please allow me to communicate with our Earl, learn from him what happened, and then relay the story to you?"
Liu Bohong and others exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and signaled for someone to bring that "count" up.
These foreigners have a long list of full names. For convenience, in most cases they are only called by their first and last names. Unless there are special circumstances, the middle name is used.
The Count Carlyle Jean was cursed and pulled up by two soldiers. He was tied up in all kinds of ways, and his original exquisite clothes were dirty and wrinkled beyond recognition.
Seeing Isaiah, Count Carlyle Jean's eyes clearly lit up, and a long string of words burst out from his mouth.
"Oh my God! I finally see you my friend! I remember you can speak Eastern dialect, right? Let these damn yellow-skinned monkeys let me go! They are so rude!"
Isaiah was simply speechless.
This Earl is so used to being praised that he doesn't even know what the situation is now!
They are prisoners, prisoners!
So many soldiers have been chopped up by these Oriental people like melons and vegetables, and you have become a prisoner. How dare you call them "yellow-skinned monkeys"?
Isaiah was only fortunate that among the Easterners present, no one could understand what Count Carlyle Jean was saying.
Otherwise, their heads might have to move.
"Your Excellency, we have been captured."
Isaiah smiled bitterly.
"Now that we are all prisoners of these Easterners, I want to ask, what happened?"
Who would have thought that Count Carlyle Jean would be even more shocked than Isaiah.
"What? You became a prisoner too? Our ship..."
"...all were sunk by them."
"You were not sent by the fleet to negotiate with them to save me?"
"...No, I am just a prisoner, Your Excellency."
"Why, how could this be..."
This news was a huge blow to Count Carlyle Jean. His eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed twice, and he suddenly burst into tears.
"That's all my family property!!!"
An old man with a lot of hair and a beard looked extremely funny when he cried like this.
Isaiah turned to Liu Bohong helplessly and said: "Dear General, Mr. Count now knows that you have defeated the entire fleet, and he feels very sad."
The general below sneered.
"Then let him recover quickly and answer the questions!"
Isaiah quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes."
At the same time, he was muttering in his stomach, Count Carlyle Jean is simply a model who wants money rather than his life!
The question now is is he going bankrupt?
Isn't it a matter of their life safety?
If your life is still there, you may still have money; if your life is gone, what's the use of money!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
"……Um?"
"Now, we are prisoners of these Easterners, and their general needs us to answer some questions."
Isaiah whispered.
Hearing this, the familiar arrogance appeared on Count Carlyle Jean's face again.
"Tell them! I am a count! Please treat me with noble etiquette!"
Encountering such a pig teammate, Isaiah was really drunk.
"Your Excellency, now we are under the control of others, or..."
"No need to say any more! Tell them that even if I lose the battle, I am still a noble! I need to receive the respect I deserve! Instead of being stuffed into a dirty tent by them like a pig!"
"...Your Majesty the Earl! They are not Annan's army, but soldiers from Dongfang Daqian!"
Isaiah couldn't bear to interrupt Count Carlyle Jean's complaint.
"What did you say?"
A lieutenant asked curiously when he saw Count Carlyle Jean's blushing face.
Isaiah quickly apologized and smiled.
"Your Majesty the Earl has not yet figured out the situation. He does not know that the generals are Daqian soldiers. I am explaining to him."
Count Carlyle Jean's face turned from red to white: "I am clearly attacking the land of Annan, why do Daqian soldiers come to attack me? Why do they have it?"
Isaiah euphemistically expressed what Count Carlyle Jean meant.
King Annan couldn't stand it anymore and jumped up and shouted: "Because my country is a vassal state of Daqian! If you attack my country with troops, I will naturally ask the suzerain country for help!"
Isaiah quickly translated what King Annan said to Count Carlyle Jean.
Count Carlyle Jean was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Is Annan already a colony of Daqian? Then why were there no troops from Daqian stationed before?"
——This involves cultural differences.
In their eyes, the distinction between "subject countries" and "colonies" is very blurry, but no country can allow other countries' troops to enter its own land. This situation can only be a colony.
There is another point that led the earl to have this idea - compared with the Annan army that was about to collapse, Daqian's army was completely like a tiger and wolf army.
How could a tiger let go of the meat that was brought to its mouth?
There is no doubt that Annan must be a colony of Daqian!
When Count Carlyle Jean's words were stammered by Isaiah, King Annan almost burst into tears.
"Xiao Wang requested Da Qian to station troops in Annan to defend against bandits from the sea!"
"It turns out that it was because there was no garrison in Daqian this time that the bandits from the sea were able to act unscrupulously and burn, kill and loot in Annan!"
"I beg the general to submit a letter to His Majesty to allow Daqian's army to be permanently stationed in Annan!"
