When those bigwigs who don't have any great power themselves sit on the stage, they certainly seem to have an aura, and they seem to be able to call the wind and rain and command their strength. However, they rely on the power of the organization, and once their individual actions are contrary to the fundamental interests of the organization, all the help will be reversed into resistance.

Now, the merchant group urgently needs to sacrifice a group of people to offset this huge disaster that may destroy the organization, and the old high-ranking bosses have been thrown out by the organization as scapegoats, and the so-called sacrifice is nothing more than that.

Anger, fear, pleading, insulting, cursing, none of this qiē can change the destined tragic ending. Whether it was the bigwigs of the business group union or their hardcore henchmen, they were soon happily arrested and accused by others, and the next thing was even simpler, and the business group union, which had replaced a large part of the upper echelons, did not even have time to consider the nominal procedural justice, and hurriedly issued the death sentence documents. The lamppoles that temporarily served as gallows were covered with corpses, as if in the old world every household loved to hang red lanterns during the New Year.

Although it is not known whether there is such a rhetoric as "kill the whole family after democracy" in the new world, as a cool sea breeze blows through the streets, the nooses made of white linen make a strange "squeak" sound, and sway from side to side with the heavy dead objects hanging below.

After resolving the internal differences of opinion, the merchant group and the alliance came to explain the reason to the pirate coalition non-stop, and the newly elected representatives said with a smile:

"We are willing to fulfill the armistice agreement and ask you to stop military operations."

Hearing this, the cold sweat on his forehead was not wiped off, and he had a black face, and scolded in a rough voice:

"It's impossible to stop the military operation, it's not your waste self-defense forces that we have to deal with, the goblin army may arrive at any time, you profiteers don't want to deliberately trap us, right?"

"Don't dare! Can't! Can you stop the offensive against Xiangjiang? ”

The sporadic artillery fire fired by the pirate coalition on Xiangjiang alone had already frightened the merchant group who were not familiar with the battle formation, and the coastal fort they relied on to protect their own safety had been pulled out in the earlier targeted removal air raids of the pirate warfare maneuver, and now they were not confident even if they wanted to resist stubbornly.

Knowing that he could no longer play any decent cards in his hand, the negotiators could only try to make a friendly gesture, hoping to win some sympathy points. But no one is a fool, this kind of performative negotiation strategy did not work, Gao De's face was still as black as the bottom of a pot, and he said in a slightly soothing tone:

"Well, this requires us to consider, but the fulfillment must be carried out immediately, and the promised supplies will be sent over first, and then other things."

Instigated by the strong call for democratic reform within the Merchant Alliance, the former bigwigs were reluctantly hung up with street lamps, and the new bosses groveled to promise to pay the pirates a ransom immediately, but this solution was really not good news for the pirate coalition, and the Merchant Coalition succumbed too late, and the window of time was no longer on their side.

The goblin air cavalry, which operates according to the size of the brigade, is cruising the surrounding airspace, and they do not attack, which seems to prove that the goblins have a deadly backhand, and the pirate coalition that has not yet received all the extortion proceeds cannot be walked away.

If you ask how long the stalemate between the two sides will last, Luo Zhengdao personally feels that it will not drag on for too long, Xiangjiang Port is a fat pig raised by the Second Goblin Empire, and now seeing that the merchant group is united by pirates to eat meat, wouldn't the goblins end up happy? In other words, if it were Luo Zhengdao himself, he would definitely not do the loss-making business of making wedding clothes for others, and Luo Zhengdao, who was accustomed to treating others by himself, vaguely noticed that the air began to fill the air with the burning smell of stone pine powder, is this just an illusion? I'm afraid it may not be!

"The ransom is all paid, do you see if it's ......"

The pirates have always paid attention to practical interests, and the problem of not saving face is a trivial matter, Gao De looked at the ransom sent by the merchant group, and he was not polite at the moment, waved his hand and said:

"Guys, let's go! Signal, hoist the sails and anchor! ”

At this time, as the pirate fleet completed sailing from the coastal waters of the Xiangjiang River to the open sea, Luo Zhengdao did not forget to pay attention to the unhurried monitoring activities of the goblin air cavalry, he frowned tightly and muttered:

"That's not right! Will it be that simple? Goblins just watching us leave? ”

A dhow sailing dinghy headed towards the Avenger, and boatswain Zola Hegel gasped as he climbed the rope ladder, looking at his excitement as if he was tired but unable to contain his mood swings. As soon as he climbed over the bulwark and saw Luo Zhengdao from afar, Zora waved and shouted:

"Your Excellency, have you heard?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao was completely confused, and couldn't help but ask with a stunned expression:

"What did you hear?"

"The goblins can't take care of us anymore, I received news that the Royal Praetorian Guard, who fled to the main 6 mountains, has attacked a provincial city, and the goblins have dispatched the main force to encircle and suppress them."

Hearing this, he nodded suddenly, and Luo Zhengdao muttered:

"No wonder...... What did these people do earlier? ”

Zola Hegel had little interest in militaristic affairs, and if it weren't for the movements of the goblins, he probably wouldn't have had any interest in even asking a word, and said:

"I learned about some of my friends, but the other party didn't go into details, but I know so much so at present."

Inheriting the mantle of the human dynasties, the Bright Dynasty did not gradually decline until it was completely annihilated by a newly rising enemy. In fact, the Guangming Dynasty lost most of the main force of the Central Army in that seemingly incredible battle, and the old emperor, who thought that he was in a position to win, died in a hurry. After his death, more than a dozen adult princes vied with each other for succession, and assassination plots and side storms turned the country into chaos. The Human Empire lost its ability to unify command and coordination, and the Goblin Alliance took the opportunity to expand its strength by attacking cities and plundering land, and in just a few years, the entire Main 6 became the world of the Second Goblin Empire.

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die, and the human nobles who are dying to the point of death have not forgotten to fight and harm each other, and it is not surprising that the goblin has made a profit for the fisherman. Let's ask, in such a chaotic political situation, who still remembers the remnants of the army that were cut off in the 6 areas of the main big 6 after the defeat of the general battle?

After the initial stunned, Luo Zhengdao sighed in a regretful tone and said:

"Well, even if we wanted to help them, the situation was ...... right now"

The boatswain didn't understand why Luo Zhengdao said this, but he still had it, and said:

"It's not that there is no way to intervene, we can stop by to say hello to the goblins, there are no human inhabitants in the coastal areas, there are always goblin garrisons, those green skins are busy right now, we can make them busier."

"Well, you have a point, I'll make a motion when the leaders meet."

Focusing too much on immediate practical gains, the pirates don't really have much long-term vision and strategic planning, and the goal of each attack is limited to getting more money, and then returning to the safety of the area to live happily and happily, squandering the large sums of money that have already been spent, and then earning it when it is spent.

In terms of consciousness, the traditional pirates are no better than those Chinese peasants in the old world who look forward to an ideal life of 30 acres of land and a cow and a hot kang head with their wives and children. For this reason, the coastal states of the New World, although generally found the problem of piracy troublesome, were seldom willing to spend military money on the slaughter of these endless lumpenproletarians, and everyone knew that pirates plundered for money, and that it was a problem for the country. The actual danger posed by pirates is much smaller than that of the ambitious nobles, big and small, who lurk in the dark corners to incite the poor to revolt.

The traverser Luo Zhengdao himself is not willing to be in the limelight, and the pirates are also taboo to entangle too deeply with the official, after the construction of the base of Wake Reef, his title of earl is full of gold, so Luo Zhengdao told Gao De the plan on the way out of Xiangjiang, hoping to influence the decision of the pirate leaders from the side.

Contrary to his wishes, Gauder Needham's motion did not win the majority support, and it was no problem for the pirates to shed their blood for the gold, which was notoriously difficult for pirates to earn money, and if they were to escape, they would fight their way to the death. Pirates are afraid of death, but they are even more afraid of poverty, and the key is to persuade a group of pirates to fight a war with an uncertain future for strangers they have never met thousands of miles away.

"I'm so sorry, I tried to convince them, alas!"

Failure will not surprise Luo Zhengdao, he just has a speculative mentality that it is okay to try, he turned to comfort Gao De and said:

"Don't be sad, you're teaming up with me to keep the goblins busy for a while, and hopefully help those who resist."

led the team back to Wake Reef, and before Luo Zhengdao could even out his breath, he was now in trouble again, saying that it was really an eventful time at the moment!

"What? Got a mess on the island? ”

At first hearing the news, Luo Zhengdao's head was a little confused, what he couldn't understand was what kind of style the civilians of Wake Reef were smoking, and they wanted to make trouble on the streets, could it be really something big? After a deep groan, Luo Zhengdao raised his head and asked:

"And what do they want to do?"

Realizing that he had failed to live up to the trust of the Earl and failed to complete the task of stabilizing the rear, the old retainer Faure Chopin bowed his head in frustration and said:

"They are demanding the restoration of the Estates-General."

The New World is multicultural and multi-ethnic, but as the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and when there are many birds, all kinds of strange species will emerge.
