   "Your Majesty, after this battle, the French will no longer summon a fleet to harass us in a short time. The crisis in England has been resolved!"

  Major James had a pleasant smile on his plump face, bent slightly, and explained.

   "Yes! I think, even if Henry II summons ships to deal with us again, he won't have so much money in his pocket!" Edward sneered a few times, with a gloating expression on his face.

  This news is indeed very happy, but Edward's sense of crisis has not been completely relieved.

You know, the current ruler of Spain is not only the leader of the Habsburg family, the Holy Roman Emperor, who rules Austria and the lowlands (Belgium, the Netherlands, northern France), but also the leader of Spain and Iberia. The monarch of the Asian Peninsula, the whole of Western Europe, basically prostrate at his feet.

  Although the relationship between England and Spain is not bad at present, this is because the two have the same enemy-France.

  The annihilation of the French fleet this time will definitely reduce the strength of France, and the Spaniards may have the upper hand again.

   "Your Excellency, Major, how many intact ships are there in the navy?" Edward rolled his eyes and asked immediately.

   "This..." Major James was a little confused, "The capital ship 'Sovereign of the Sea' is intact, and there are about 30 other ships!"

   After Major James finished speaking, he puffed up his chest and was very proud. After all, given the disparity in strength, it is not bad to be able to fight like this.

  After hearing this, Edward felt blood dripping from his heart. He resisted the discomfort and said, "You did a good job, Mr. Major!"

"Now, you let the sailors rest for a day. Tomorrow, you take these intact ships and go to the French port of Francisco for a walk, and Calais by the way. I think the garrison may It’s also quite frightening!”

  Edward moved his lips easily, and sat on the chair with a mocking tone. Obviously, he had already thought in his heart that King Henry II of France might turn pale with fright at the news!

   "You have to know that Port Francisco is located at the mouth of the Seine River, if you have the ability, you can take it.

  If the French army comes to support again later, you will rob the city government. Recently, I have spent a lot of money. "

  Edward twisted his neck and said to the surprised Major James.

   "Yes, Your Majesty!" Although he couldn't figure out what this meant, James still nodded in agreement.

   "Your order is the purpose of my actions!" Bending 30 degrees, Major James responded respectfully with his right hand touching his chest.

   "Da, da, da!" Major James is a man of action, and by the way, he showed it in front of Edward, his moccasin boots thumped on the golden floor, he turned around cleanly, and walked outside.

  Edward had a cold look in his eyes, his expression was no longer relaxed, and his small face with some pimples instantly tensed up.

   "Lucy, go and invite His Excellency Kyle Lance to come down, and by the way, invite the one from the Dark Blade, the person who has made meritorious service in this raid."

  Edward couldn't remember the Dark Blade's subordinate for a moment, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, and then he calmly gave instructions to Lucy who was full of work.

  Lucy agreed pretty bluntly, then twisted her buttocks and went out.

  Edward thought about it for a while, and in a blink of an eye, Lucy walked in with a middle-aged gentleman with crutches, eyes shining, and hair combed shiny, with a hint of joy on his face.

  Following the two of them was a tall young man with thin cheeks and shy eyes. With his head lowered and his waist bent, he walked in slowly.

  Edward coughed and acknowledged their salute, then looked back and forth between the two of them, and then said: "I think you all know by now that the French expeditionary fleet has been wiped out!"

  Hearing Edward's words, the faces of the two of them jumped with joy, and when they were about to flatter Edward, they were stopped by him.

   "Okay, don't say any good words now, I have a task for you now!"

  As soon as he heard that he was valued by the king and handed over the task, he was overjoyed, and quickly bent his already slanted waist, almost at ninety degrees.

   "Your Majesty, it is my honor to serve you!" Lance, the Minister of the Privy Council, sounded magnetically.

   "Your Majesty, please order!" Cooper's somewhat hoarse voice sounded afterward.

   "Mr. Lance, just now I have ordered Major James to prepare to go to the French port tomorrow, so prepare now and go together!"

   "Your Majesty, this—" Lance's rosy face suddenly turned pale. He is a literati, how can he go to war!

   "Go and meet Henry II of France and tell him the news of our victory!"

   "Of course, by the way, negotiate with him to make up for our losses. The price should be as high as possible. By the way, we will not allow those sailors and ships to be redeemed!"

  Edward saw the privy council minister's eyes, and immediately understood his thoughts, smiled, and said directly.

   "Yes, for the glory of England, I will definitely do my best." When he heard that he was not going to war, Lance patted his chest hastily and assured with a magnetic voice.

   "Well! Then go and get ready!" Edward waved his hand and bid farewell to the Privy Councilor. He was not worried that the minister would annoy Henry II, after all, he still had a noble status, and Henry II was not that stupid.

   "Okay, it's your turn!" Edward had some cassette tapes for a moment, and then Lucy reminded in his ear, "Mr. Cooper, I remember your contribution clearly. When I return to England, I will reward you based on merit."

  Hearing the king's promise, as well as the upcoming reward, Cooper's dizzy eyes suddenly became active with excitement.

   "A few days ago, although Earl Wellington cleaned up a few big tigers, the little mice are also quite annoying!"

  Edward's mouth curled up, and he said in disgust, his face became serious.

   "Now you immediately bring someone to clean up Edinburgh for me. These annoying garbage are often swaying around, and it makes me upset."

  Cooper stared at His Majesty the King with a look of disgust on his face with beady eyeballs, his expression changed, and he knelt on one knee.

   "Your Majesty, this is the mission I should complete, please rest assured, I promise to catch those annoying mice! It's just—"

  Looking at Cooper who was making a guarantee there, he hesitated in his tone, and after thinking about it, he immediately understood.

   "Don't be afraid, if someone stops you, just tell them, this is my order!"

   "If anyone dares to resist..." Edward dragged out the last word, with a ruthless look on his face, "Shoot to kill—"

"clear-"
