Chapter 154: Pulling the Tiger's Skin

Puffin is a branch of the Blackwater pirates, the leader of the puffin Prod was once the leader of the Blackwater pirates, one of the seven battle captains under the pirate king Sir Drake, the seven battle captains of the Blackwater pirates were called "the seven martial seas of the king", and they and the pirate king Sir Drake are the great pirates recognized by the three forces on the eternal continent.

The true identity of the Pirate King Sir Drake is the last prince of the Goddock city-state, the only remaining branch of the High Elves. The city-state of Goddock has a huge territory that includes the Blackwater Islands and Sin'an State, and in terms of its area of influence, it is no smaller than the three main powers of the Eternal Continent.

It's a pity that the Goddock city-state has been occupied by the Naga tribe who live in Yingzhou under the sea for about a hundred years, and the "seafood" living there is thousands of times more than the High Elves, if it weren't for the long life span of the High Elves, they could easily live for hundreds of years, and probably no NPC would remember the High Elves of the Goddock City-State.

It is worth mentioning that Naga and the High Elves have the same ancestor, and Yingzhou Naga is attacking the Goddock city-state under the slogan of recovering the royal family.

Lin Ling looked at the map, the puffin's nest was far away in the Black Iron Reef in the Blackwater Islands, and they had traveled thousands of miles to Canyon Village, which was located in the hinterland of the League of Legends, probably to attack the port controlled by Swan Castle.

Swan Castle is home to the headquarters of the Navy's Seventh Fleet. The Seventh Navy and the Blackwater Pirates are at hostility, and players can choose any faction to join and contribute to the Seventh Fleet's domination of the oceans or the recapture of the Goddock city-state by the Blackwater Pirates.

In Lin Ling's previous life, the number of players who joined the Seventh Fleet outnumbered the number of players who joined the Blackwater Pirates. However, even so, in the ten-year game history of Lin Ling's previous life, only three of the seven combat teams under the pirate king Sir Drake were lost, but the NPCs with names and surnames in the Seventh Fleet changed wave after wave, and finally the position of commander-in-chief of the fleet fell into the hands of the Rhine Regent, and the original independent Swan Castle was annexed into the League of Legends in disguise.

The reason for this is nothing more than the splendid appearance of the prestige equipment provided by the Seventh Fleet.

Most of the prestige equipment on the Blackwater Pirates' side is salted fish and jerky that are not on the table, and only players with a reputation reverence or above can buy a series of useful equipment.

Lin Ling didn't know why the Swan Castle rebels were going to attack the Blackwater pirates for Swan Castle, his gaze followed the direction of the mountain behind the canyon village, and stopped at an outlet to the sea.

The Seventh Fleet detachment is stationed at Flash Port, which, according to Nongtoba, is currently occupied by the Black Water pirates under the puffin.

Could it be that the Swan Castle rebels attacked the Blackwater pirates to fish in troubled waters, seize the flash port and go to sea in a boat? They also know that they can't do the great thing they dream of?

Once this thought poured out, it would be difficult for Lin Ling to suppress it again.

Combined with the hired swordsmen and highly mobile rebel riders he saw on the road leading from the abandoned mine camp to Canyon Village, it was not difficult to guess that the Hellstein Castle rebels were going to abandon the foundation of Canyon Village and the surrounding area, and sail out to sea after attacking the Flash Port.

It's a pity that the thief who triggered the Canyon Village material delivery mission in the previous life, Windwind, revealed too little information in an interview, and it was not enough to promote the real movement of the Hellenstein Castle rebels.

"We've got to help them."

However, Lin Ling still made up his mind in an instant, and his great help to Canyon Village in the past gave him a full say in many things.

"How many people have joined the resistance?" Lin Ling asked Nongtoba, "I mean the combatants. ”

"We have 142 basically trained warriors, of which 60 are armed crossbowmen, 30 pikemen, and the rest are hunters like me." One of the hunters on Nongfu Toba's left hand opened his mouth to answer Lin Ling's question, "There are seven of us veterans who have fought in the border battlefield, and the commander is Mr. Ensign, who has just retired from the Seventh Fleet, and retired due to injuries. ”

"I was pecked in the eye by a bird during internal training." A tall man wearing an eye patch stood up from the bed and introduced himself to Lin Ling, "I'm Gao Rendi, the commander of the Resistance Army. ”

"Hello."

Lin Ling had heard of the name Gao Lundi, the hero of the Seventh Fleet, a man who would trigger war wherever he went, an NPC who would often have to deal with in the future. He glanced at Farmer Toba, the strength of the resistance was more than that, even if he deliberately did not supply the energy core to Canyon Village, they still armed about half of the village's wheat field golems with elastic frames.

Those crop golems with an average level of 20+ are no worse than warriors with only basic training.

"Can you tell us about your plan? Dear Arcane Mage. Commander Grundy looked at the map spread out on the table, touched the shaggy beard on his chin, and said, "I'd love to know which side you're trying to help." ”

"It won't be a Blackwater pirate."

Lin Ling had no interest in the pirate king Sir Drake, that High Elf's lifespan had come to an end, and the Blackwater Pirates would be reduced to a leaderless group all the time, and that High Elf would only say when he was defeated: Do you want to get my treasure? I can give you all if you want, and go find it, Goddock City-State, where I left everything in the world.

"It won't be the Seventh Fleet."

Similarly, Lin Ling didn't like the Seventh Fleet in Swan Castle, and players on the League of Legends side didn't like this force.

The Seventh Fleet's uniform tithes on the towns under its control at the height of its power were no different from those imposed by the Wolfstein Castle rebels in Canyon Village.

"I think we're going to help the Hellstein Castle rebels, don't they want to disappear on the ship without being known?" Lin Ling moved his finger to the only main road leading to the outside world in Canyon Village, "Then we will do what they wish, drive their forces out of Canyon Village, cut off their back roads, and strengthen their belief in going east." ”

"Do we have this opportunity?"

Commander Gorendi is unaware that the Wolfenburg rebels no longer operate Canyon Village as a stronghold.

"If I were you, I would send Orion into the mountains to check, when I came, the road leading to the outside world in Canyon Village was full of mercenary swordsmen and rebel riders, and in the back mountains, a large number of rebel technicians were modifying steel golems, those hired swordsmen are probably just pawns hired by the rebels to hide people's eyes, what I am really worried about is their rebel riders."

Lin Ling pointed to the huge peaks on the four sides of Canyon Village, and said in a deep voice: "If I guess correctly, they have secretly dug a tunnel with steel puppets to go to the flash port, and in the next period of time, I am afraid that they will come to the village to collect a large number of building materials to strengthen the tunnel." ”

"They've already come to collect it." Nongtoba added.

"Then there will be food and water, they won't want to stay a few more days, all we have to do is to do what they commanded, collect enough supplies for them, and ask them to get out of the way and attack the Blackwater pirates as soon as possible." Lin Ling smiled mysteriously, "Then, we will pull out the nails they left in the village, block the main road, build a high wall around it and raise the banner of the Cyanius Castle rebels, and not allow anyone to enter the canyon village, creating the illusion that the rebels are still in control of the village." ”

"You mean ......"

Nongfu Toba's intelligent logic was a little higher than that of Commander Gao Lundi, and it was easy to get the secret that Lin Ling had hidden in his words.

"Tax evasion."

Lin Ling said his core idea, he just wanted to evade taxes, and he just didn't want to hand over the few money he had earned so hard to to NPCs who couldn't even protect his property for no reason.

There are only two things in a person's life that cannot be escaped.

One is death, the end of life.

The other is paying taxes.

According to the description of the second step in the chain of rebellion in Canyon Village, "Delivery of Supplies", as long as he does a good job, Farmer Toba will give him the confiscated Squire's farm or manor.

There is no need to pay taxes to accept gifts, but every aspect of running the manor needs to pay a certain amount of tax to the system, and sometimes you have to spend money to buy a peace.

Paying taxes can earn people a taxpayer's name.

But taxpayers are like sheep in captivity in the sheepfold, empty of a loud name but only mouth calling, hungry still bow their heads to eat grass, ** to come or to find the ewe to vent, this is instinct, and will not because of the large amount of wool to have a taxpayer's name to become different, become not cannibalistic, become no sex interest in the ewe.

However, as soon as the Wolfstein Castle rebels left Canyon Village, it was the equivalent of a shepherd leaving the flock.

Although the shepherd's sheepdogs, the rebel riders who hired swordsmen and legged swordsmen, would still act as thugs and spies for the shepherds, but the sheep without the shepherds naturally did not need to contribute their wool or their proteins.

Don't look at the shepherd's usual mouthful of "obedient" and "baby" screaming energetically and happily, and when it comes to difficult times, don't say "obedient" and "baby", even if it is his heart, his HONEY is also eaten alive.

The presence of sheepdogs will mislead other shepherds, this group of sheep is the owner, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and the nominal owner of Canyon Village is the Swan Castle rebels, a radical organization that even the Seventh Fleet cannot take over. It is worth stealing joy to come and steal sheep rashly, and not to be bitten off your hands.

What Lin Ling wants to do is to continue to raise the banner of the Swan Castle rebels, so that Canyon Village can be truly autonomous, truly free from the leadership of outsiders, and develop and grow in a relatively closed environment.

Only then will his wealth in the Canyon Village have enough time to ferment and settle.

To do this, of course, he needs to help the Swan Castle rebels.

Of course, the main forces of the rebels need to be sent away as soon as possible, and the farther away the better.
