Chapter 232: Loss of Hope

The year 1513 of the sea round calendar.

The influence of the Evil Dragon Pirates is getting bigger and bigger, in order to redeem the manpower and speed up the robbery of property, the people of the Evil Dragon Pirates occupy more and more villages and towns, and a month ago, a Navy Colonel named Brynbrin was suddenly attacked by them, and the warship was completely wiped out, and even the Colonel himself was killed, which made people talk about the Dragon Pirates and their group.

The "Tokai Shimbun" published a series of news about the evil dragon pirates, and the civilians of the kingdom of Navia were both disgusted and terrified of this vicious group of pirates, fearing that they would be attacked because of their proximity.

There is also a precedent to follow, last year, when White Pine Town was attacked, they still remember, no one knows if this group of fish people will go crazy again.

It was under these circumstances that a merchant ship from the kingdom of Falaise arrived in Kalmar City and brought a bomb that caused ripples in the city.

Located in the West village of Cocoa in the territory of the Kingdom of Falais, and the town of Housha, which is also located on the same island, the consul of the neighboring Kingdom of Navia, Morgan Murphy. Stolt. William signed a letter requesting to be incorporated into the Kingdom of Navia in order to obtain the protection of the Kingdom of Navia from continuing to be oppressed by the Dragon Pirates.

They had passing merchant ships bring news and requests to Kalmar, causing an uproar among the populace when the news spread throughout the city.

Influenced by the "East Sea News" and other William newspapers in the territory, most of the civilians of the Kingdom of Navia knew that the Dragon Pirates came from the Great Voyage and were involved in one of the current Seven Martial Seas, although the Archon William and his Morgan Pirates have well protected the security of the country and the sea over the years, but people still do not think that William and his armed forces are enough to compete with the Dragon Pirates who have been exaggerated many times in the newspapers.

The civilians knew that the town of White Pine in the country had been attacked by fish-man pirates and the banks had been destroyed, but they didn't know that half of the members of the Dragon Pirates had been captured by William, and Aaron had been extorted more than a billion Baileys.

The Dragon Pirates in the newspapers are savage, cruel, and powerful, and the distrust of strange races, coupled with the demonization of the news, it is understandable that most of the people of the Kingdom of Navia are afraid and afraid of the Dragon Pirates.

It is said that after receiving the news, the Archon began to discuss with the high-level how to deal with it, but so far there has been no result, but many people in the city actually do not want William to accept the request of Cocoa West Village and Housha Town, and start a war with the Evil Dragon Pirates for no reason, and the merger of Cocoa West Village and Housha Town into the territory may also lead to friction with the Falais Kingdom.

The people of this country have just lived in peace for two years and do not want to be destroyed by the war.

With various moods, people looked worriedly in the direction of the aristocratic district, and at this time, a meeting was being held in the aristocratic district, the consul's mansion, and the meeting was talking about the affairs of Kekeyaxi Village and Housha Town, but unlike what people imagined, the tone was set at the beginning of the meeting.

How to maximize the benefits of this whole thing.

The annexation of Cocoa West Village and Housha Town is a certainty, as this matter was planned by William from the beginning.

Although the villages and seas under the control of the Dragon Pirates have opened up trade routes, in fact, they still strictly restrict the communication between the villages and towns and the outside world, and the trade with the Dragon Pirates is actually monopolized by William's Four Seas Trading Company.

In this case, obviously, the merchant ship that came to Kalmar City and helped the village of Cocoa West and Housha to bring the news was arranged by William's people, and it was a ship under the Four Seas Trading Company, how could he refuse this request?

As for why the residents of Kekeyaxi Village and Housha Town jointly signed the letter, it is also related to William.

After the first direct contact with Aaron, William became attentive to his forbearance and paid more attention to gathering information about him.

Naturally, William quickly noticed Nami's information and the 100 million promise that the outsider could see through at a glance was a hoax.

However, although William found out about it, he concluded that this agreement was a hoax almost without thinking, but from the mouth of Zangao lurking in Cocoa West Village, it can be seen that not only the little girl Nami, but also the villagers of Cocoa West Village, have now put their hopes on this agreement.

And when Zangao returned to the village several times, Nami always traced the clues with scars on her body and found that in order to gather 100 million Bailey as soon as possible and redeem her village from Aaron, Nami even took risks to steal the treasure of the pirates.

In view of this situation, William, a philanthropic man, decided to help Nami and the villagers of Cocoa West Village.

Because Nami knew that Nami was proficient in navigation and knew the charts very well, under William's arrangement, Nami obtained a treasure map from a group of pirates in a theft job, and obtained a treasure close to 100 million Bailey's wealth.

William estimated that the villagers of Nami and Cocoa West Village were extremely happy when they got the news, and the information from Zangao also confirmed his suspicions.

It's just that immediately after, Ke Ya Xi Village and Nami know what reality is, and the reality is that when Ah Long and his gang can force the villagers of Ke Ya Xi Village to spend money to buy their lives once a month, then they will naturally be able to take away Nami's 100 million savings.

In front of Aaron, they can't even save their own lives, how can they keep such a large sum of money as 100 million Bailey?

Because of the need for Nami's navigation, Aaron didn't want to do too much, hoping to give both sides a step, so he contacted the Navy Rat's Colonel who knew William under the needle, hoping that the rat would come forward to forcibly collect the property, and divide the account afterwards.

Colonel Rat agreed, but then when he searched for the stolen money in the village of Cocoasi, he pretended to tell the truth in front of the villagers and Nami.

At that moment, the villagers, who were struggling to hold on to a lie, cut down on food and clothing every day, and were terrified that they might not be able to pay the money for their lives next month, were completely desperate.

The most cruel thing about Aaron is that he gives Kokoya Nishimura and Nami a hope of freedom, but in the end he destroys that hope with his own hands.

In the end, the villagers of Kekeyasi Village found that their endurance and humiliation were so ridiculous, that they had never had a choice, and that there were only two ways in front of them, like other villages and towns under Aaron's rule: die now, or continue to live like slaves, running and working hard every day to make enough money to buy their lives, until they can no longer earn money.
