Chapter 2331 Despairing Bad News (Thanks to the Book Friend: ‘Mr.袏’ for Becoming the New Leader of This Book)

The king and Henry mounted their horses together, and then turned around and headed towards the crowd.

The crowd was silent and gradually numb.

More than 20 tattered warships gradually approached the dock. After the depressed crew members and soldiers went ashore, most of them sat down on the spot, and some even lay down.

The depressed atmosphere could no longer be concealed, and there was no need to spread. Those people had guessed something.

The generals of the three countries could not sit anywhere. Smith wanted to return to Plantagenet immediately, but he was worried about the reaction of the country after receiving the news.

He looked at the gradually panicked Lisbon people and murmured: "I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of not being understood."

The Lisbon generals and Frank generals around him lowered their heads and had no desire to speak.

The king and others in front rode their horses through the gap made by the crowd. The crowd was very quiet, and even coughing could not be heard.

Strange silence!

Smith walked to the front of the crowd, looked up, and saw numb faces.

Under great disappointment, regardless of men and women, they all became zombies.

Smith sighed in his heart, and then walked in first.

The eyes of the crowd gradually followed them, and their eyes gradually became more angry and uneasy.

"The Ming people will take revenge on us!"

A woman suddenly shouted, which immediately caused a large-scale panic.

"We failed, no, they failed, and they failed shamefully!"

A strong man shouted: "The Ming people will come here, just like last time, the port will be blocked, yes, Plantagenet and Frank don't have to worry about these, but we are by the sea!"

His words caused panic, and a woman shouted: "Let's move, go over there, let's go over there."

The so-called over there is the country of Lisbon's feud.

The two countries are adjacent, but there are constant disputes.

There was a spy in the crowd, he grabbed the woman and said: "Who taught you to say that? Come on, follow me."

The woman was grabbed by his arm, and she panicked and shouted: "Someone is touching me..."

The woman was very beautiful, and her figure was also bulging. When she came down just now, she was touched by people because of the crowd.

At this moment, the crowd was angry. When they heard the words and saw that the spy looked wretched, but pretended to be serious, they were immediately angry.

A strong man pushed through the crowd and came over. The spy let go of the woman and warned: "Be careful next time."

The situation in Lisbon is not very good. The people complain that their lives are getting worse and worse, and gradually they have become more violent.

In response to this situation, the king sent some spies to infiltrate, specifically to get information, and once they found someone inciting, they would arrest them.

In the past, they arrested people easily, and no one dared to resist.

But today the whole city is angry, even the king can only go back quickly, what are you, a spy, showing off?

The spy was about to get into the crowd, but was blocked by the crowd.

He said with a stern face: "The king is in front..."

The crowd was silent, but their eyes were red, and their breath was hissing...

When people are afraid, they will do things that will make their normal selves dumbfounded, and sometimes they will feel that they have released a devil.

The spy felt that the atmosphere was not right. He turned around slowly and saw that the strong man gradually grinned, and then grabbed his collar with his hands.

"Kill him!"

The king had already left the crowd. Seeing the commotion behind him, he reined in his horse and looked back.

"Your Majesty, the people are disappointed and terrified. They are afraid that the Ming people will come."

The king certainly knew this truth. He watched the crowd swarming to the middle and began to stamp his feet...

The generals of the three countries were walking in the middle at this moment, and the crowds on both sides gradually looked at them unkindly.

"Back off!"

At this time, the soldiers behind them were holding weapons to threaten the people, and the hostility in their eyes made people dare not approach.

It is human instinct to bully the weak and fear the strong. Those people all retreated obediently, but the anger in their eyes did not diminish at all, but became even more intense.

"You are idiots!"

It was still the women who started it.

The women of Lisbon showed their anger and courage today.

"What did you lose?"

Someone shouted: "You lost Lisbon, how dare you come back?"

"You should jump into the sea and commit suicide, what are you doing here?"

"Shameless!"

"Such a huge fleet was lost, and you boasted that you would find the country of gold and kill all enemies that blocked us. What about now? Tell us, what about now?"

The soldiers were angry, and someone retorted: "The Ming people's firearms are like the devil in hell. We are fighting bravely and fearless. But we only have bows and arrows, and the warships were sunk by the Ming people's firearms outside the range. Come on, go and try, go and see how powerful the Ming people are!"

Another soldier was also angry. He tore open his clothes and pointed to a scar on his chest and said: "The Ming people's firearms are indestructible. See, this is the wood chips that flew out when the hull was knocked open. Just a little bit, it almost killed me!"

The people were afraid. They were afraid of the Ming people in the mouths of these soldiers.

"This will affect morale."

After Smith asked the interpreter, he said to General Lisbon: "If you want to surrender to the Ming people, then go ahead."

He led his men to chase after them. General Lisbon sighed and called the soldiers.

"We were ambushed this time, a shameful ambush!"

Someone on the slope ahead was shouting loudly, and the people seemed to have found their backbone and rushed over.

Henry stood there, and many soldiers were trying their best to maintain order.

"We are going to explore the way, to explore this world, and we have a friendly attitude towards the Ming people, so we neglected our defense, and I have been on the Ming people's ship. I know the Ming people clearly, and I know that the demon god is planning to attack our fleet, and he succeeded!"

Henry said in grief and anger: "At that moment I witnessed their attack, I wanted to shout, but my mouth was blocked, I wanted to resist, but my hands were tied, those despicable Ming people..."

Henry seemed too sad, and the people gradually became more sympathetic, and then there were more cries.

"What about them? Your Highness, what about them?"

A pair of expectant eyes looked at Henry, waiting for his answer.

Many people here have relatives who are members of the long-distance fleet. Now they are defeated, so what about their relatives?

The atmosphere of sadness gradually became thicker.

Henry looked up and said: "Many people were captured, and not many died."

This is good news.

"But we can't redeem them. The Ming people won't allow it!"

Henry gradually became more resolute. "The Ming people's navy doesn't have much advantage. We can still attack again."

He turned and left, leaving the people crying.

He went straight into the castle, where the king was waiting for them.

The king was very tired, and he looked like he wanted to go to bed immediately.

"Henry, my son, tell me what happened."

Henry knelt on one knee and said, "They went too far, all the way to the edge of the Ming people's sea area, and then they were met by the Ming people's fleet preparing to go out to sea for trade..."

"Really?"

The king leaned back in his chair and tilted his head with difficulty and said, "I said not to go too far, right?"

He asked those ministers, and the answer he got was of course affirmative.

The king's face was more red, and he asked, "How did they win?"

At this time, the generals of the three countries came, but the king and the ministers didn't look at them more.

Henry said: "After the Ming people learned the news, they rushed to the decisive battle at full speed. We were trapped below the deck, so we have to ask them for detailed information."
