How to distinguish between bravery and recklessness is indeed difficult, because there is only a thin line between the two, and there is too much room for ambiguity. If, with the prospect of little success, one chooses to take a risk, or forces a decisive assault when there is no hope of victory, judgment is often based on the last shred of rationality, rather than on professionalism and lessons. Zheti Hakusan's rationality could clearly tell him that the giant galleys, which had lost most of their ability to add and steer, barely managed to hold on and would only become a target for their opponents, and the Bear Goblin Commander immediately fell silent.

After a few seconds of contemplation, the Bear Goblin Commander muttered like a deflated ball:

“…… Give the signal and give the order to retreat! ”

Luo Zhengdao's luck was good, and he presciently sent Brando Scarlet Yan to bribe the Varangin pirate group to participate in this battle, offsetting the strength advantage of Zheti Baishan's fleet, seeing that they could not take advantage of the battlefield, the goblins hesitated for a while and had to withdraw from the battlefield in disgrace, and the disgraceful voluntary retreat was much better than the end of the total annihilation. At this point, the pirates repelled the goblin fleet, at least temporarily. Upon learning of this news, the grim facts poured down like a basin of cold water, dispelling the luck that the Xiangjiang business group jointly held.

The situation has become simple and clear, and the profiteers in Xiangjiang no longer have to worry about how to make a choice, and they dare not use the method of delaying time to make a false and false way with Luo Zhengdao. The masters who support their backs have been beaten, what else is there to be arrogant and domineering in the front desk lackeys? If you don't know the right way to advance and retreat, I'm afraid that the end will be to slaughter Luo Zhengdao and stew a pot of fragrant meat to eat.

Looking at these groveling business group joint negotiators, there was a faint look of disdain in his eyes, Luo Zhengdao pretended to laugh lightly, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you thought carefully about my request? When can it be executed? ”

"Of course, of course, Lord Earl, your requests will be fully met."

Having received what he wanted from the Xiangjiang Merchant Group, Luo Zhengdao would not forget the Varangin Pirate Troupe, who had been of great help, and he turned back to the tall men in the conference room, with red and blue eyes, who were focused on wiping their axes and swords:

"I agreed in advance that all the proceeds would be divided equally, and I wouldn't default on the account, but the conditions listed this time are not only money but also population, are you interested in this?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in this group of Varankin people raised his head, although he didn't look like a good person in any way, he smiled like an innocent child at this time, he waved his hand to Luo Zhengdao and said:

"What's the use of us asking for people? Those weak guys can't be warriors at all, and serfs can't use so many people. ”

If it weren't for the fact that he was a traverser, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but agree with the other party's opinion, those human refugees stranded in Xiangjiang had suffered a lot, and they were so thin that they were skinny and bone-ty, and it was not an overnight thing to raise them to the point where they could resume their work. The problem is that Luo Zhengdao, who is not here, has a different understanding of many behaviors that others seem to be quite stupid, he smiled and said:

"Oh well! We will divide the ransom fee jointly paid by the merchant groups equally, and as for the population, I will accept it all unceremoniously. ”

"Hahahaha, we are very generous to our friends, it's what you want, just take it."

Goblins have never been in the habit of trusting and hoping for human traitors who obey them, and these guys can brazenly betray their own people, and betraying the alien race does not seem to have any psychological burden, and talking about loyalty with these people is a bit more nonsense than talking about chastity with prostitutes.

Despite this, considering that these guys are still useful, the Second Goblin Empire, which is accustomed to forbearance, has no intention of eradicating them for the time being, and the goblins have a consistent fine tradition when it comes to extracting surplus value. In dealing with these gangs of rape and lackeys, the goblins have always used the idea of raising fattening pigs, not only to maximize their benefits, but also to prevent them from getting out of control. It is conceivable that the powerful Xiangjiang merchant group has been strictly controlled by the Second Goblin Empire, and their military and financial resources are really thin compared to their financial resources.

The largest tonnage warship owned by the Xiangjiang Merchant Group is only a large cruiser equipped with 36 8-pounder guns, such as a transport ship or something, the Merchant Union is not short of goods, they were originally the Merchant Federation, what else can they use to traffic goods without ships?

When the victorious pirates disembarked and landed on 6 Koe Island, Luo Zhengdao was already seated in the office of the city hall that had been temporarily requisitioned, and he immediately signed a warrant in the name of confiscating the enemy's property. It was officially announced that the 100 or so merchant ships anchored in the port area with good seaworthiness and sufficient hull space would be confiscated, and this matter was still due to the fact that the merchant group would pay special attention to the ransom fee in a timely manner, if not, according to Zola Hegel and other veteran pirates, all ships anchored in the port of Xiangjiang should be confiscated, regardless of size.

After all, he once lived in the information age, Luo Zhengdao has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs run, his vision is not so short-sighted, as a traverser, he doesn't know that fishing is not a good way to sustain the exhibition, it can only prove that his social practice course is with the physical education teacher.

In the final analysis, flies and mosquitoes are also part of the natural ecological balance, and it is impossible for shameless brokers such as the business group to withdraw from the stage of history, as long as there is a demand for this kind of people in the real world, even if Luo Zhengdao kills these bastards, it is nothing more than prompting another group of new speculative brokers to emerge and replace them. In view of this, instead of dealing with it harshly in vain, it is better to extract the value of the merchant union as much as possible, and in this regard, he has very similar values to the Second Goblin Empire.

After processing these routine official articles in the temporary requisitioned office, Luo Zhengdao had time to go out for a walk, and the Xiangjiang River, which had been revisited, had changed its appearance, and the port area was burned to rubble by a fire united by the merchant group, but in the city center, it was still a luxurious scene of singing and dancing.

Even when the pirates start to wander the streets with their arms crossed, and the taverns and inns all over the river are open as usual, this purely consumer city will not refuse customers, as long as they are willing to pay, everything is negotiable.

Luo Zhengdao has strict requirements for discipline, and before getting off the ship, he affirmed that it is strictly forbidden to loot without permission, and the violators are regarded as embezzlement of public property, not to mention that the pirates themselves are reluctant to destroy the Xiangjiang River, and the sailors are floating on the Aether Sea for at least half of the year, and it is rare to have a chance to leak **, and most of the women found are old and ugly third-rate pheasants, and what is even more sad is that many times the money cannot be spent. Normally, the pirates would sit in the kind of turtle place on Wake Reef where they looked up and saw the wind and sand, and looked down on the dirt, with a lot of gold coins in their pockets. This trip was sure that the goblin fleet was defeated, except for the sailors who were designated to stay on duty at the battleship post, everyone else couldn't wait to plunge into the world of flowers and flowers in Xiangjiang, enjoying the wonderful life of drunken dreams and death.

"Vina, do you remember the last time we were here?"

Looking around at the bustling streetscape, Luo Zhengdao suddenly remembered the last time he came to Xiangjiang to sell stolen goods, when he didn't stay for a long time, but he was also deeply impressed. It's just that after going through so many twists and turns, it was obviously born not long ago, but when I look back, it feels like an extremely distant memory.

Hearing this, the half-elf beauty smiled, and she shook her green jade fingers and said:

"Of course, you bought me a bouquet of flowers. Uh, where did the little girl who sold flowers go? With so many people today, it's a good time to sell flowers! ”

Looking through the cracks in the streets and alleys, Luo Zhengdao and Vina Dubov saw the scorched earth and broken ruins adjacent to the port area at the same time, not only did the half-elf beauty instinctively sense a trace of unease, Luo Zhengdao's face also sank, he turned his head and ordered the attaché beside him and said:

"Go and inquire, who knows that there is a little girl who often sells flowers around here, find her."

In addition to the armed guards, the people who followed Luo Zhengdao out also sent a few cronies to accompany them, they were afraid that an eyeless ball would appear in the local area and anger this pirate earl who couldn't be provoked at all. At this moment, when they heard Luo Zhengdao's request, these people were all busy, asking shops and pedestrians from house to house.

After a while, a pirate leader approached Luo Zhengdao's side and said in a low voice:

"Earl, we ...... We ......"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao's heart sank, his eyes narrowed with displeasure, and he said:

"If you have something to say, say it."

The reprimanded pirate leader grinned with bared teeth, but his smile looked worse than crying, and he said in a slur manner:

"That...... The person you want has been found, and we can't bring her. ”

With a sigh, Luo Zhengdao had actually guessed the answer in his heart, he took a deep breath, decided to take a look with his own eyes, waved his hand and said:

"Okay, take me to see it."

After a few minutes, all the way through the streets and alleys, Luo Zhengdao and his party stopped at the door of a shack that was blackened by smoke. Standing silently at the door, through the open broken wooden door, Luo Zhengdao's face was ugly, and he spoke for a long time before he spoke:

"It's ...... How so? Were they burned? ”

Although he had already been mentally prepared, Luo Zhengdao still did not expect that the outcome of the matter would be more cruel than he had expected, and the pirate leader in charge of finding out the news explained with a bitter face:

"Lord Earl, when the fire spread in Minato, these children were already dead, and I heard that the little girl who sold flowers was sick and could not go out to make money. In the past few days when we have joined forces with the merchant group, the price of food in the market has skyrocketed more than ten times, so ...... The family starved to death before the fire broke out in Minato. ”
