Pedru bowed and stood in front of him. In front of him were King Alfonso V of Portugal, as well as the Portuguese Minister of Finance, Ministers and other senior officials. Pedru did not tell any stories or his experience in the East.

He only said one sentence: "Your Majesty, our oceans have violated the majesty of a lion."

After saying this, Pedru said again: "I was wrong. We should have violated the majesty of a giant dragon. Going east of Africa, that land and sea area belong to a powerful empire. How should we Portugal face it next? A thought difference will make our entire Portugal disappear from the map, and it will only exist in history books in the future!"

That fleet is not a phantom, and many people have seen it.

At this time, while speaking in the Portuguese royal palace, there were still some ships not entering the Strait of Gibraltar.

"How much do you know?" Alfonso V frowned.

He was called the magnanimous Alfonso in later generations, also known as the Alfonso in Africa. The former was when he burned out the list of all opponents and conspirators before he inherited the throne. In other words, he leniently exempted his enemies, so he was called the magnanimous Alfonso.

Another reason for the title is that he led Portugal to fight against Africa.

Not to mention so many ports on the coast of Africa, but only Morocco, it brought large areas of land, a lot of wealth to Portugal, and important ports that control the Strait of Gibraltar.

The reason for Portugal's maritime overlord is also because of Africa and the coast of Gibraltar.

"You know, five years ago, a fleet of ships crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and left the Mediterranean under the night. At that time, a thirteen-year-old girl was seeking protection, but our magical vassal refused. The servants of the Lord, all the servants were not given protection to them."

Everyone here knows the person Pedru talks about.

That was the last princess of the escaped Byzantine and the last bloodline of the royal family.

The reason is very simple, it is the conflict between the old and new believers. Byzantine represents the old religion and the pope represents the Protestant religion.

"His princess left, and the whole of Africa had no place to stand. He was pursued by the Arabs in the east, and then in the east they were defeated and captured by the Ottoman merchants. This is the beginning of the story, and just three days later, a powerful army killed all the Ottomans before the blink of an eye."

"Because of her beauty!"

"No, because the Ottomans ignored the pride of the dragon, they appeared in the sea that should not have appeared, and there was an emperor who declared that the sea would need to be followed by their rules."

Very domineering. But a powerful empire is qualified to say this.

"What's next?" Alfonso V asked again.

"Next, His Highness the Princess was taken to the Eastern Empire, and she and her entourage entered the Eastern Empire as a shipwreck. Here, the princess met a man who used an oriental beast, a crane as a badge. He liked to communicate science with Byzantines, like the research of Byzantine alchemists, and liked to let the scientists around him discuss science with the alchemists. This man is a contradictory person with cruel and kind personality to be inclusive."

Alfonso is confused. How can cruelty and kindness be tolerant?

Some of what Pedru knew when he learned Chinese with the Ming people, and some of it was observed by him.

"This man has enemies in the Eastern Empire. People who also have great power and prestige do not get along well with him. Some people even slapped him in the face in public, but he never cared about these things. He even asked these people for advice in academic and knowledge. But..."

When Pedru stopped, he even admired these people from the Eastern Empire.

"Your Majesty, the people of the Eastern Empire are very united. Today they attack each other for different opinions and scold each other. But when they meet people outside the empire, the enemies of this man will let go of all contradictions and help him with people outside the empire, including us Portugal."

Alfonso sighed heavily. This is a very great country, and a united country is never conquered.

"This man declared that the people he followed in this world whom His Majesty recognized were nobles, or who was a noble, who was a civilian, and who was a slave. In his eyes, only his Majesty's Emperor was qualified to define. Without his Emperor's approval, anyone was inferior."

"So domineering, does he want to be enemies with the world?" Alfonso didn't believe that anyone dared to be enemies with the whole world.

"My Majesty, you are wrong. It's not that he is an enemy of the world, but that the world needs his approval." Pedru emphasized that he believed that no one dared to be an enemy of such a fleet.

"Okay, you keep going!"

"Your Majesty, what I know is that His Highness met the real princess of the Eastern Empire. This princess is known as the most noble of the entire Eastern Empire and is also the most beloved sister of the Emperor of the Eastern Empire. Then the Byzantine princess and the Princess of the Eastern Empire married a man named Baiming Crane together. On this day, the Emperor of the Eastern Empire got angry."

"It is wrong for one person to marry two princesses."

"Your Majesty, you are wrong again. The reason why the emperor of the Eastern Empire got angry was that as a man, your wife's hometown was destroyed and her parents were killed. Marriage was not allowed before worshiping his wife and parents. Therefore, he brought his troops to the Mediterranean and came to Constantinople. According to the soldiers of the Eastern Empire on the ship, killing the Ottoman Empire and then taking it back to his homeland is what a man should do!"

Well, Alfonso was speechless.

This reason was too speechless. He started a war for profit and for the land. Of course, there were wars for women, but every war for women was without exception, a tragedy.

For example, the Battle of Troy was for the woman Helen.

"Then, they came."

"Yes, my Majesty. When leaving the Eastern Empire, another fleet escorted him across the strait. The scene at that time was the same as in our Gibraltar. All ships were avoiding each port and pier were closed." Pedru's eyes changed. Thinking of such a scene, it was a pity that it was not the Portuguese fleet.

Alfonso stood up: "A very critical question, how big is the Eastern Empire? How many ships does it have?"

"My Majesty. The whole of Europe is not as great as the Eastern Empire. According to the soldiers of the Eastern Empire, if their country is used, it will take three months to go from south to north alone on land, and four months to go from east to west. As for their fleet, I have only heard a few names!"

The Royal Guard Navy of Ming Dynasty.

When he heard this name, Alfonso could imagine how huge the imperial guards of His Majesty the Eastern Empire were. As an emperor, he would never let a squadron be stronger than his Royal Guards in terms of quantity, quality, and equipment.

"In addition to the Royal Guard Navy, there are four fleets. This time I only know that the commander of their third fleet led the fleet. The one who escorted the Ming Empire's South China Sea Fleet."

A huge empire, how should Portugal face it?

"Your Majesty, all our African ports have been attacked. All..."

"All..." Alfonso repeated.

"Your Majesty. The fleet once stopped war between two countries on a large island. At that time, I was on another ship. I only saw this scene from afar. They asked the war to stop, and then the peace talks. The fleet left. There was no attack there. The first real attack was to attack a small island occupied by the Arabs. The reason was that the Arabs had attacked the fleet of His Highness the Byzantine Princess here."

This is understandable, retaliatory attack.

"The second battle was in the port of Durban, where eight ships from Portugal attacked a small team of six ships in the Eastern Empire. The next reason. I guess it was because a captain declared that the Pope had appointed us Portugal as the overlord of the sea, and the rules on the sea were formulated by us Portugal!"

Alfonso didn't quite understand: "So, why didn't they attack our local area?"

"When leaving the Eastern Empire fleet, the Lord Bai met me. He asked me to tell His Majesty that you would make a choice, but he did not tell me what kind of choice it was."

Choose. How to choose.

Alfonso V hoped that Portugal would rise. He was not afraid of war, but he did not know how to face an invincible enemy.

The meeting could not continue, and the more you understand, the more you feel it is terrible. Unless Portugal can gather the power of the entire Europe, even the fleet in front of him will not be able to face it.

If we could talk about it, then how much would Portugal sacrifice?

More importantly, Morocco, the entire Africa, and Portugal were once again trapped in the Mediterranean, and Portugal's future became dark and dull.

The entire kingdom of Portugal was silent, both in the army and in the merchants.

Ten days later, the fleet stopped again. This time, it was not for war, but for peace.

The Greek Patriarch stood at the port and watched the Queen Oliviare, who was flying the Byzantine Empire flag, slowly approaching the port. He was gray-haired and cried. Constantinople fell two years ago. Half of the four Orthodox Patriarchs died, and he was the only one who lived, as well as the Chief Executive of Alexander.

The once powerful empire is constantly being attacked by the Ottomans.

The united Greece killed many bureaucrats and merchants who defected to the Ottomans and organized resistance. The Port of Athens was the last line of defense. They had no more ships and could only organize resistance in the port.

No one knows how long it can resist, but no one is willing to give up. Until a fleet suddenly appeared on the sea, the Lord's grace once again shines on the earth. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
