Chapter 105: Surrender within a time limit

"Boom boom boom boom~" A series of artillery bombarded the newly repaired port of London, which resulted in the port that had just recovered a little vitality again fell into a sea of ​​fire and chaos. Many ships that had just started the water were burned down one after another, and the people on the dock were also seriously injured and injured!

"Damn Song, I and you all!" On a high ground not far from the pier, the short and strong Henry jumped straight into his foot in anger, but he didn't dare to approach the pier because he was afraid that those thunderous cannons would hurt him too.

"Henry, don't be too angry. These Song people clearly want to use this method to anger us. Don't be fooled by them!" At this time, the little Henry standing next to him spoke out.

"How can I not be angry? This is the third time! The third time! Every time we just built the Port of London, these damn Song people would use those artillery to destroy the port. This not only caused serious losses to us, but also made my soldiers panic. If this continues, I am afraid that if they do not need to attack, my soldiers will escape collectively!" Henry I roared in anger at this time.

In fact, it is not a reason for Henry I to be so angry. Since the last time the Port of London was shelled, the Song army retreated and did not come again for a long time. England needed to contact the European continent, so he asked someone to rebuild the port. However, half of the port was built, the Song Dynasty warships came over again and burned the port.

After experiencing the second blow, Henry I was angry and did not want to build London Port in a short time. He also felt that the Song Dynasty should send people to contact him, but he did not expect that he had been waiting for many days, but there was still no news on the Song Dynasty. However, many people in England thought that the Song Dynasty would not come again. So they all clamored to build the London Port. After all, there was a lack of a port for communication with Europe, and their losses were also great. In the end, Henry I could not withstand the pressure in the country and could only build the port again. As a result, this time it was even worse. Seeing that the port was about to be built, the Song Dynasty warships came again. This was the third time the port had been destroyed.

Seeing Henry I's angry look, Little Henry was also helpless. In fact, he could also feel that many people in England were very dissatisfied with him during this period, including several sons of Henry I. Because they believed that it was the arrival of Little Henry that attracted such powerful enemies to England, they were already secretly discussing to hand him over. Although Henry I did not agree, his attitude towards him had also changed, otherwise he would not have yelled at him just now.

Looking at the harbor with a blazing fire, Henry I yelled angrily to vent his anger, but unfortunately it had no effect. In the end, he could only watch the London Port being burned to white. What annoyed him even more was that the Song army's warships did not leave immediately after bombarding the port, but stayed in the port for a long time. He could even see some Song soldiers on the ship pointing at the port and laughing, which made him even more angry.

However, to Henry I's surprise, he thought that after the Song army bombarded the port, they would go away like the previous two times and would not give them a chance to negotiate. However, this time it was a little different. The Song people's warships stayed at the port and did not leave until the fire at the port naturally went out. A small boat suddenly drove out of the group of Song army's warships. Then he found a place to dock in a messy port to stop, and several soldiers in armor escorted an official to the shore. Looking at their appearance, they seemed to want to contact them.

"Henry. These Song people actually sent people here. Do we want to meet them?" Little Henry also saw the other person who came ashore at this time. He turned his head and asked Henry I, but he was very nervous, because he knew that if Henry I planned to meet him, it would mean that he would probably give up on himself.

Henry I hesitated for a moment, and soon nodded under the disappointed gaze of little Henry, saying, "Send someone to invite the other party, these Song people have destroyed our port several times, and it is time to talk to them!"

After Henry I said these words, he did not look at Little Henry again, but instead ordered people to bring the Song people who came ashore, and he did not dare to approach the dock, after all, it was within the range of the Song people's artillery.

After a while, the Song people came to Henry I. What he didn't expect was that the officials led by the other party were not the yellow-skinned Song people, but a white-skinned European. The other person bowed to him and said, "His Excellency Henry I, on behalf of the Holy Roman Empire, I will issue an ultimatum to your country, and you will be allowed to surrender unconditionally within ten days, otherwise the army of our empire will land on the battlefield. I hope you will consider the serious consequences of this situation!"

"What, do you want me to surrender?" Henry I didn't expect that the first sentence of the envoy sent by the other party was to make him surrender, and he threatened him to send a large army to land on the battlefield. This made Henry I, who was in a hot temper, immediately wanted to turn against him, but considering the powerful strength behind the other party, especially the other party's warships were parked outside the port, he could only suppress the anger in his heart in the end.

"Hissing King, I think I have said clearly what I just said, and you have already seen the strength of our empire's army, so I think we don't need so much nonsense anymore. Ten days are only ten days. If you don't surrender, then we can only express regret!" The envoy said again and emphasized time.

Although the messenger was very polite on the surface and spoke very calmly, the content of the words was aggressive and did not give Henry I any chance to negotiate. However, he also had the confidence. After all, the entire Holy Roman Empire had been unified now, and the Song army was the main force of the empire. This strength was not something that a small England could compete with.
