Of course, when Luo Zhengdao said all the people, he didn't mean calling thousands of people from the entire pirate fleet to a meeting, and don't forget the principle that numbers are inversely proportional to efficiency, and it would be good to call people who are qualified to participate in decision-making.

About two hours later, the meeting began as Drake King, who was furthest away from the venue, hurried back as the 6 overseers built the fort. Sitting behind the round table, glancing at the participants with different expressions, Luo Zhengdao coughed to remind everyone to pay attention, and said in the opening chapter:
"I don't have time to go into details, are any of you more familiar with the situation in Blood Coral Harbor?"
Putting on the boss's pretense, Luo Zhengdao had a rare stern expression, and the pirates didn't mind exchanging words in private. After waiting for a while, seeing that the others did not mean anything, Brando Scarlet got up and said:
"Lord Earl, I've been in Blood Coral Harbor for a while, and if no one knows anything more about it than I am, let me say a few words! Blood Coral Harbor was once a colony of the Elven Federation, and the harbor fortresses there are extremely strong, and it will be very difficult to attack them from the front, and the cost of casualties will be too great for us to bear. ”
As soon as he heard this, Luo Zhengdao held his chin in his hand and asked rhetorically:
"So you're saying that we can't take this port with our current military strength, right?"
"Lord Earl, it's not that it's impossible to attack, but it's very difficult, and then our gains will not be worth the terrible price we have to pay."
When he heard this, Luo Zhengdao fully understood the subtext of Brando Scarlet, he said that the casualty number must not be small, and this kind of hard bone that could break his teeth at any time is not worth the risk. So, Luo Zhengdao lowered his head and thought for a moment, he suddenly smiled, nodded and said:
"Well, then let's talk about how to solve these practical difficulties!"
The decision to attack Blood Coral Harbor was of special significance to Luo Zhengdao, and it was not just a routine pirate raid. Rescuing the human exiles who were about to be slaughtered by the goblins meant nothing more than anything else to him personally. Since crossing into the new world, Luo Zhengdao has been burdened with the curse of the desolate god and the remnants of the Bright Dynasty at the same time, the former has not yet come up with any way to resolve the crisis, even if the legendary evidence of the Seven Seas Overlord who can fulfill a qiē wish is really effective, it is a distant thing to get together, and there is no need to think too much about it for the time being, so the latter has become a difficult choice that Luo Zhengdao has to face.
Influenced by that ancient prophecy, the Goblin Second Empire was determined to hunt down all the exiled nobles of humanity rather than kill a thousand by mistake rather than spare. Luo Zhengdao can't escape their pursuit even if he hides to the ends of the earth, so the only way out is to face the difficulties and crush the Second Goblin Empire, since he doesn't want to die, he has to fight, this is Luo Zhengdao's fate!
There are many accidental factors in the rise of the Goblin Second Empire, but the decay of the Bright Dynasty itself is undoubtedly the inevitable reason inside, if Luo Zhengdao wants to take a group of pig teammates to force the Goblin Second Empire, then he must first put himself on a moral high ground, which is crucial.
Needless to say, the significance of a revered good name to a political figure is a point that cannot be overestimated. Just as Mark Twain, the famous novelist of the Old World, hugged his legs together on stage with seven or eight children of different colors on stage and shouted the spicy sarcasm of his father's article, and how ridiculously despicable the tricks used by rivals to ruin the reputation of political figures, the later incident of Kahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, and the peach-colored waitress, seems to be a remake of this story no matter how you look at it.
If it is possible to use such a pediatric trick to affect someone's reputation for a while, it is extremely difficult to discredit a certain object for a long time.
There is a saying in the old world that you can deceive everyone for a while, or you can deceive someone for a lifetime, but don't expect to deceive everyone for a lifetime, the truth will be exposed sooner or later. With the passage of time, even the most clever methods of operation will be revealed, and what is false will never become true. A typical example of this is Michael Jackson, the king of pop music, who was slandered and abused by countless tabloids during his lifetime, and it was not until after his death that many people learned that Michael Jackson was a shy and good man who was enthusiastic about public welfare and donated countless donations in his life.
The liar father, who had always been at the forefront of the opposition to Michael Jackson and accused him of child molestation, inexplicably followed Michael Jackson a few months after the sudden death of Michael Jackson, and it can be said that he died an unknown death.
If you ask what is strange about the death of this liar's father, I am afraid that there is only one fundamental reason, and he knows too much. If Michael Jackson is still alive, this contemptible liar is useful to some guys with ulterior motives, since the target is dead, then the use value of this-stirring stick will also end, what will happen next, I believe everyone can guess the answer, his death is just a means of killing the donkey behind the scenes.
In order to gather the hearts of human exiles and accumulate popularity, Luo Zhengdao is ready to create a glorious image of a human savior for himself, and this beautiful aura can undoubtedly attract countless cannon fodder to spill blood for him.
Too often, there is only the thickness of a piece of paper between the real and the unreal, and Luo Zhengdao wants to make a big noise to promote himself, and it is not known what the result will be if he can save all mankind, but this trick is more than enough to save himself.
After a fierce internal discussion, the participants of all parties fully exchanged their opinions, and Luo Zhengdao really couldn't afford to spend it with them, so he simply said with a black face:
"That's enough, I've decided to send scouts immediately, target Blood Coral Harbor, find out the situation there, and then dismiss the meeting!"
Whether genuinely believing or deliberately making people think that they were indeed worried about the bloody prophecy that the descendants of the Emperor of Light would eventually destroy the Goblin Empire, the Second Goblin Empire has spared no effort in the pursuit of human exiles, and has even sent a large number of pursuing troops to the best of its ability.
For those small groups suspected of being mixed with the children of the nobility, the goblins were determined to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots even if they were chased to the ends of the earth. Previously, Luo Zhengdao's repeated attacks were only a few of the larger ones among the countless similar incidents on the Seven Seas, and he always gathered a group of strong pirates around him, and the goblins couldn't gnaw at his hard bones without gathering strong military strength, so the frequency of their attacks on Luo Zhengdao was relatively small. The goblins will have a lot easier to clean up the human exiles who have no fists and no courage, and who will only run away in front of predators like rabbits.
The usual solution to the Goblin Second Empire is one word, kill! On the contrary, this time, the circumstances of their decision to return the captives to the Lord 6 for execution were particularly peculiar.
Luo Zhengdao, who was based on Wake Reef, listened to the reports of successive waves of scouts, entrusted the task of supervising the construction of the Wick Reef fortress to Faul Chopin, and himself commanded a large group of pirates to pull anchor and sail to Blood Coral Harbor.
After playing the cat-and-mouse death game with the goblins over and over again for such a long time, Luo Zhengdao is actually not very afraid of prophecy spells, and this method has many limitations. For example, if you want to know if something will happen, it's hard to know exactly when it will happen, and it's easy to tell when and where someone will appear, so the prophecy time limit will be shortened, say two days later. In this limited time, it is another matter to summon forces to block him in time.
Luo Zhengdao stood on the spacious deck of the Avenger in a leisurely and relaxed posture, enjoying the warm sunshine and fresh sea breeze of the starry sea, which was much more comfortable than staying at Wake Reef, which was unbearably hot during the day and excessively cold at night.
In the eyes of Luo Zhengdao, the new world is full of indescribable natural landscapes, and the red sun hanging high above the sky is considered by the mages to be a disembodied projection. The New World itself is a cascading ring structure that is almost completely flat, but the sun here also obeys the daily habits of the inhabitants of the planets of the Old World, rising in one direction and setting again every day. There are all kinds of coincidences between the two completely different worlds, which can't help but make Luo Zhengdao have inexplicable doubts, in the underworld, is there a pair of invisible hands controlling the operation of the world, and is there a power higher than the gods in this world?
Of course, for those natives who have long been accustomed to the miracle of the birth of qiē around them, they will not feel that there is anything surprising in the fact that in a flat world, why the sun can rise from one place and why it must set from another. Just as the inhabitants of the Old World did not realize that the earth revolved around the sun, it was only natural that the inhabitants believed that the earth was the center of the universe
The sea of stars, the blood coral port pier
The enchanting beauty of the golden sunset shining on the pale green waters off the shores of Blood Coral Island, and the sparkling warm waters resembling a brilliant sea of gold, is a magical scene that can only be counted as the last supper for the human captives who are nearing the end of their lives. Under the threat of the goblins wielding sharp knives and guns, the human captives walked apathically from the trestle onto the narrow wooden gangplank, and the goblin guards on the deck of the sailing ship brutally shoved the humans into the already crowded cabin of a sardine-like can. At this moment, in addition to the faint sound of the waves below, there was also the faint cry of the babies in the cabin.
