Chapter 903: Coalition

~7 min read 1,242 words

Yes, the nightmare is about to end. Luse stroked the scar on his face, left behind during that assassination attempt.

This wound constantly reminds him of his hatred for Dayan Wang.

Don't be so serious, cheer up, let us prepare to welcome the arrival of the Coalition. Bolt patted Luse on the shoulder.

Luse shook his head; only on the day Yan Wang is hanged will I be happy.

Look into my eyes, you will realize this dream. Bolt said to Luse earnestly.

He had not forgotten the death of Brook.

On the contrary, he had already settled this score in his heart.

Once they invade the territory of Dayan, they will repay this debt with the blood of the Song People.

Yes, we will certainly achieve it. Luse nodded heavily.

So, go back and prepare, and get your soldiers in high spirits. Bolt laughed.

Luse is now a major under his command.

Although the internal strife in Dayan was quelled by Yan Wang, causing their plan to fail.

But Luse also performed meritorious service.

The wealth he brought back was truly astonishing.

Even the Empress would find it hard to believe if she saw it with her own eyes.

Among this wealth, besides gold, silver, and jewelry, there were also large quantities of antique porcelain, paintings, calligraphy, and classics.

The value is immeasurable.

Precisely because of this, Luse is worth the title of major.

Very well. Luse shrugged and turned to leave.

Three days later.

At noon in Calcutta, the sunlight spilled over the azure sea.

To the Southwest of the port, a massive fleet slowly approached.

The scale of this Joint Fleet was so great that if they were the enemy, even Britain would have to respond with all its might.

Luse, this time Yan Wang is doomed. On the port, Bolt held a Telescope and watched the Joint Fleet.

Hundreds of Warships sailed in a triangular formation, obscuring a large expanse of the sea.

Behind the Warships followed numerous Troop Transport Ships.

With such a number of Warships and such a number of soldiers, they could directly wipe out a country even in the Western Lands.

In the past, no country outside the Western Lands was worthy of them sending so many troops.

Often, three or five Warships and two or three thousand soldiers were enough to occupy a country.

A smile finally appeared on Luse's face.

He had been worried that the Western Lands would not take Yan Wang seriously.

But he had overthought it.

The Empress of the British is wise, and she made a wise decision.

The two waited for a while longer.

The fleet gradually reached the port and docked one by one.

British soldiers in red uniforms, Frankish soldiers in white uniforms, Folangji soldiers in blue uniforms, Stedan soldiers in tan uniforms, and soldiers in other colored uniforms disembarked from the Warships and Troop Transport Ships.

Led by their commanders, they lined up at the port.

These soldiers were all carrying Front-loading Rifled Muskets, their Bayonets gleaming.

The Artillerymen were busy unloading Field Artillery and Cannonballs from the Warships, a scene of bustle.

Bolt! Just then, Wesley, wearing a black tricorne hat and a red military uniform, came down from a ship.

Seeing Bolt at a glance, he spread his arms and walked toward Bolt.

Oh, Admiral Wesley, the Majesty actually sent you; God, this time we will surely beat Dayan until it kneels on the ground. Bolt showed a look of surprise, also spread his arms, and embraced Wesley.

A bright light flashed in Luse's eyes.

Clearly, he was also very happy about Wesley's arrival.

Because this Admiral had defeated the Frankish and the Ross on the battlefield.

He is a famous general of Britain, one of the four great Admirals.

It seems this fly has caused you quite a bit of trouble; no matter, I will solve this problem for you. Before Christmas, Dayan will become another colony of Britain. Wesley laughed heartily.

I hope so; by then, I will definitely prepare the biggest turkey for you in Tianzhu. Bolt said.

Wesley nodded, I will remember your words.

Then he pointed to a Warship in the port and said, Now, you should go see Maluofu; this Admiral likes to put on airs, like a woman waiting for you to invite him to a manor party.

Admiral Maluofu has also arrived. Bolt was even more delighted, feeling as if he had taken a reassuring pill.

After speaking, he walked toward the largest Warship in the port.

After seeing Admiral Maluofu, he invited the highest-ranking commanders who had come from other Xitu Guo.

He had already prepared a banquet at the manor to welcome them.

In the evening, as the commanders arrived one after another.

On the mountainside of Gaode Mountain, west of Calcutta, a manor became noisy.

Tianzhu musicians played music, and commanders in various military uniforms held Wine and conversed with each other.

To help the commanders who had traveled for four months relax.

Bolt invited socialites from Calcutta as well as Tianzhu maids of good appearance.

After chatting for a while, the commanders quickly focused their attention on these women and began to flirt skillfully.

At this moment, Bolt, Wesley, Maluofu, as well as the Frank Army General and Admiral, leaned against the villa's railing, looking toward the people in the garden.

Wesley said at this time, "Bolt, this time along with the fleet came sixty-two Steam Engines, used to expand the musket and Artillery factories in Tianzhu. The Queen's intention is to build Tianzhu into a bridgehead for the Western Lands to resist Yan Wang, and in the future, let the muskets and Artillery manufactured here be sufficient to support the war against Da Song."

"This is excellent. After the banquet, I will have the factory personnel transport these Steam Engines back." Bolt was quite excited.

Tianzhu lacks no materials; it only lacks Steam Engines.

With Steam Engines, the output of the Tianzhu military factories will increase.

"Also, although I think it is a bit of an overreaction, the Queen wants us to prepare for the worst-case scenario." Wesley pondered for a moment and said sternly, "If the war fails, we must not let Yan Wang easily obtain Tianzhu. From now on, we must select local rulers loyal to us to govern various local states; if we retreat, we will leave some industry and Weaponry to them."

Bolt nodded.

He understood that this was not because the Queen was pessimistic about the war, but because they always considered all possibilities.

"Furthermore, regarding Yan Wang, we must be adept at utilizing the natives of Dongtu. In dealing with the natives, the Frank, Ross, and we are in agreement."

"Ross is utilizing the hatred between the Northern Di and Da Song, Frank is preparing to utilize the conflicts between Jiaozhi, Piaoman, and Da Song, and we must utilize Tianzhu. The people of Tianzhu have always been arrogant and stupid; having the local rulers join us in dealing with Yan Wang should be no problem," Wesley concluded.

He held the combat effectiveness of these natives in contempt.

However, using them to create some trouble for Yan Wang, or to assist them, is also not bad.

Therefore, he had no reason to oppose this matter.

"Leave it to me; this is what I am best at." Bolt was very confident in his words.

He could already see a frenzy against Da Song surging up.
