"Maybe there has been some changes in the situation, which was beyond our expectations." White-headed man Owen touched his blue chin, narrowed his eyes, and his gray eyes flashed. "Is this a game?" Liu Qiqiao's eyes were full of suspicion and uneasiness. He felt more and more that he boldly followed these Western pirates here to fight Qiufeng for the reward of the Governor Luzon.

"Impossible. If that is the case, the Colonel Alfonso and his more than one thousand people will become victims. Do you think it is possible?" The white-headed man turned his head and looked at Liu Qiqiao, shrugged helplessly. The mind of this oriental man was really strange. Even the idea of ​​thinking about things was inconspicuous.

Not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of firepower, if that is true, Colonel Alfonso's three warships and all the Spanish navy will not be torn to pieces by the angry pirates.

"But I don't think it's right. When we were frustrated, the other party actually sent two people to negotiate, and kept saying that the Spanish princess was in their hands. Can't you find this strange?" Liu Qiqiao still insisted on his point of view.

"I think they should be at the end of their strength." A pirate leader expressed his opinion using an oriental idiom. "Our continuous attacks, although they suffered heavy casualties, how much can they be better? I guess they have insufficient ammunition or too much casualties, so they have to extend an olive branch to us."

"This olive branch is too strange, right? Maybe where did they find European women, pretending to be the princess of Spain, and want to use beauty to deceive our poor Colonel Alfonso." A pirate leader smiled dirtyly. His words immediately caused the pirate leaders to laugh knowingly.

"Stop guessing, wait and see what kind of answer our commander can give us later and you will know the answer. Now, we should do whatever we should do, just don't forget our own ally for the time being." Baitou Erwin looked up and saw that the sampan had arrived at the side of the flagship, and simply ended this nerve-wracking game of guessing with a word of nonsense. Anyway, the answer would definitely be clear in the order given by Alfonso.

Even if Colonel Alfonso wants to make tricks, he is not afraid. Although on the surface, their allies obey the command of this self-righteous colonel, in fact, it is really important that anyone listens to whoever listens to him.

"Looking at their arrogant ugly appearance, it's really disgusting. One day, I will make them unable to cry." Colonel Alfonso saw the ugly appearance of the pirate leaders, bent his mouth with contempt, and the blue pupils were flashing with cold murderous intent.

"I am the eldest princess Carlotta, appointed by His Majesty the King himself. Jose, the attendant of His Highness Joaquina, on behalf of His Highness the Princess, I come to submit the letter from His Highness the Princess to you." Lieutenant Colonel Jose walked to his eyes with a slanted look, looked at his own group of Spanish naval officers with a bad expression, and saluted Alfonso with the colonel's logo, respectfully handed over the letter written by Maria and stamped with a seal.

The pirate leaders, one and two, stood aside, with their eyes hanging, as if they were watching a show.

"Which fleet did you serve in before, why haven't I seen you?" Alfonso looked at Jose, and he saw from Jose's appearance and manner that Jose was an orthodox soldier.

Lieutenant Colonel Jose replied without looking at him: "I used to serve in the New World Fleet. I was seriously injured in a battle to encircle and suppress pirates. I returned to Spain to recuperate. After he recovered, I was appointed as the attendant of His Majesty the King and the Princess until now."

"I have seen His Highness the Princess, but why haven't I seen you?" Colonel Alfonso was still staring at Jose, and his handsome face was filled with suspicion and distrust.

"Yes, I have also met His Majesty the King and His Highness the Princess, why haven't I seen you before?!" Several other naval officers stood up, but their tone seemed very angry.

"I became His Highness the Princess last year, and after becoming His Highness the Princess, I followed His Highness to the Roman Catholic Court. There are indeed not many people who know that I am His Highness the Princess, but this is a fact."

"Col. Before leaving the kingdom and heading for Luzon, I heard from one of my friends that His Highness's new attendant was also called Jose." A naval officer whispered to Alfonso. "But I have never seen him, so I am not sure if he is the one next to His Highness."

"What is this? The letter of surrender?! It's ridiculous, it's a huge joke!" Alfonso temporarily put aside his doubts about Jose's identity and turned his eyes to the letter. But after he glanced at it in a hurry, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "In addition, none of us knows the princess's handwriting, who can guarantee that it is true?"

"It is not a letter of persuasion to surrender, it is the order of His Royal Highness, which contains His Royal Highness's private seal and autograph of His Royal Highness." Lieutenant Colonel Jose explained patiently.

"Do you think that if you write a few words and forge a fake seal, I will be fooled by you?" Alfonso threw the letter to another officer beside him casually, and walked to Jose, with only contempt on his cold face. "However, this letter made me confirm your identity, a traitor! The Spanish have many brave soldiers, and there are also some shameless traitors. I once had a colleague who was an excellent officer, but because of some small conflicts with his superiors, he actually betrayed the motherland, became a pirate, and committed murder and robbery... Do you know his ending? I grabbed him with my own hands and sent him to the gallows! And you..." The sneer on Colonel Alfonso's face symbolized the fate of the traitor wearing Spanish officer costume.

"Mr. Colonel, I also hate traitors, and I am definitely not that kind of person. His Highness is indeed on this island. I swear in the name of my ancestors and God." Lieutenant Colonel Jose secretly complained in his heart, wishing to cut off his heart to prove that he was so innocent, and it was definitely not the kind of rebellion that had no loyalty to the motherland.

Hearing the oath of Lieutenant Colonel Jose, the pirate leaders all laughed, their faces full of mockery, and one of the pirate leaders clamped their voices and said seriously: "I swear in the name of my grandmother and God, I have never touched a woman."

These words immediately made the pirate leaders laugh out loud. For them, the oath was like a fart released after eating mashed potatoes. It disappeared when the wind blew. Who can remember it afterwards?

"Enough!" Colonel Alfonso glanced at these allies in displeasure, turned his head, and looked down at Jose with insight into the hearts of the people, as if he had seen through the sinister intentions of this traitor of the motherland. "Ancestors and God? You people have left their ancestors and God behind their heads since the moment they betrayed the motherland." Colonel Alfonso made the final judgment like a majestic judge sitting in the presidency of the court.

"Take him down and be with that old man, don't worry, I will give you a fair judgment, right in Luzon, but there is only one traitor next time, that is, hanging!"

"You can't do this! Colonel, I am the attendant of His Highness the Princess. His Highness is on the island, and I did not deceive you!" Lieutenant Colonel Jose's efforts were exchanged for a stock of a Spanish soldier, looking at Lieutenant Colonel Jose who was dragged away.

Alfonso took a deep breath: "Everyone, it's time to see us. Please go back to your respective warships and use our powerful artillery fire to let the Qing pirates on this island understand that all their resistance is futile, and any conspiracy is useless in the face of our absolute strength!"
