When Batavia was attacked by the Kyushu army fleet, the Spanish stronghold in Manila, the Spice Islands, had been surrounded by the Kyushu army for several days. The Spanish fleet was huddled in the harbor, and the Kings fleet was shelling each other with the fort and the outer fleet of Atlanta. Such shelling made the Spanish soldiers in Manila panic. They found that they were blocked by the Kyushu army and had no chance to ask for help from the outside. They could only wait for people outside to find that they were surrounded and came to rescue.

On land, the indigenous people of Luzon, led by the Overseas Chinese Manager Wang of Manila, have cut off the ties between Manila and other tribes on the island, and Manila has become an isolated city.

In Manila City, Spanish colonial soldiers holding a comb-rope gun rushed into the mansion of Manila merchant Lin Lao.

"This is a private house, you can't trespass on your private house!" Seeing the colonial soldiers coming in full force, the servants of the Lin Mansion quickly blocked the door and stopped them.

"Get out!" The colonial soldiers hit the servants of Lin's mansion with their butts, and then kicked open the door.

"What are you doing?!" Manila businessman Mr. Lin walked out and saw his servant being kicked to the ground and curled up, and his liver was furious.

"Take this old man away!" The colonial soldiers left with Mr. Lin, and the people from Lin's mansion cried and howled.

In Manila City, overseas Chinese businessmen were once again captured by colonial soldiers and detained in a yard with square walls on all sides.

"Why are we arrested again?" The overseas Chinese businessmen in Manila were frowning.

The last time they were captured by colonial soldiers, some of the merchants in Manila failed to revolt, which implicated them. Later, it was Liu Wang from the Jiuzhou Army who took action and rescued them.

Mr. Lin was weak and was carried by colonial soldiers here. His blood was surging. He sat on the ground and finally recovered: "The fleet of the Jiuzhou Army is attacking the fortress and fleet in Manila outside. It is probably because they were afraid, so they took us as hostages and brought us here."

The other merchants were very scared after hearing this: "Old Lin, do you think they will kill us? The hostages held by pirates in the past were usually killed for a lifetime, and they are likely to be torn to vote."

Some businessmen couldn't help but complain: "Why did the Jiuzhou Army attack Manila at this time? Isn't this implicating us?"

Mr. Lin waved his hand with difficulty: "Don't worry, everyone, they dare not kill us, and they dare not even treat us like last time."

"Why are you so sure, Mr. Lin?" Many businessmen surrounded him in confusion and asked.

"The reason is very simple. The reason they captured us was because they were afraid of being defeated by the Jiuzhou Army and wanted to use us as a bargaining chip for negotiations with the Jiuzhou Army. If they dare to tear the votes, how do you think the Jiuzhou Army will deal with them? With our account, the Jiuzhou Army threw them all into the sea to feed the fish, and no one would say anything." Mr. Lin said.

"It seems that this is indeed the case." Everyone nodded. If the colonial soldiers killed them, if they were defeated, the Jiuzhou Army could also deal with these defeated colonial soldiers at will.

"So we should eat what we should eat, drink as much as we should, and don't be scared by them." Mr. Lin said.

Manila Governor Akunya stood on the stone building and saw the overseas Chinese businessmen locked below, his frown still did not let go. Grasping these overseas Chinese businessmen was just an extra guarantee, but this guarantee could not guarantee their safety.

"Governor, we have two merchant ships that were severely damaged by artillery attacks with the Kyushu Army and are under repair." A Spanish colonial soldier walked over and said.

"Are the Jiuzhou Army going crazy? How could they suddenly attack us? And now the Netherlands and the Flangjimen have not come here yet!" Akuniya growled hysterically.

After being blocked for a long time, almost all of his subordinates and Spanish merchants were urging Acunia to ask when reinforcements would arrive, which would double the pressure on Acunia.

"I'm afraid the Dutch and the Flangji people are also in trouble," said the subordinate.

"What trouble can they have? Could it be that the Jiuzhou Army still has the strength to attack them at the same time?" Akunia was shocked by his words. "They really don't even clean up the Dutch people and the Flangji people, right?"

"We send a few people to negotiate with them to see if the Jiuzhou Army will withdraw its troops for the lives of these overseas Chinese businessmen." The subordinate suggested.

"I'm going to go to them for negotiations in person." Akunia made a difficult decision.

"No, the Jiuzhou Army has never acted according to common sense. If the Governor-General, you personally serve as an envoy, you might be detained by the Jiuzhou Army." said his subordinate.

"You can't get any useful news from them, but I still need to do it myself." Akunia said.

The Atlanta, which is blocking Manila, is a warship summoned by the King. Among them, the Atlanta was the sailing battleship summoned by Chu Yun when he was dealing with Zheng Zhilong, and it was built by Spain a hundred years later. The one blocked in Manila was also the Spanish warship, but the two were more than a hundred years apart.

Among the Spanish warships in Manila, a merchant ship took advantage of the temporary truce between the two sides, raised a white flag and sailed towards the Jiuzhou Army fleet. The Jiuzhou Army did not shell the ship, but sent a frigate to intercept it to prevent the Spanish fleet from using fire attacks.

"Take me to see your commander..." Akunia shouted to the Jiuzhou Army frigate coming from opposite him through the deck.

However, when he was halfway through the call, he suddenly was stunned because he saw that on the deck of the frigate of the Kyushu Army opposite, half of the soldiers were black-haired and yellow-skinned orientals, and half were blonde and blue-eyed Westerners like him.

???Why did Westerners appear on the Jiuzhou Army’s warship?

Akunia rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Man, are you going to surrender?" A Western soldier on the Jiuzhou Army warship shouted.

"My Governor of Manila, Akunia, is going to negotiate with your commander and take me to meet your commander!" Akunia was a little surprised and found that the other party's accent was actually their Spanish accent. How bad is this feeling? When was the sailors of his country helping the Jiuzhou army to beat him?

Acunia was taken to Atlanta's deck by Kyushu soldiers. When he saw that the captain was also a Spanish, he felt more like he had seen a ghost.
