Chapter 148: Competitiveness! The second more
Naturally, there are quite a few things that Sauron needs to be busy.
In fact, he had just landed on the shore when one of his men came to report it, but because Golia was next to him, he waved his hand and waited to talk about it. Later, Golia was taken to the camp by Vivien, and Sauron naturally needed to deal with the affairs of this time, although he left Vivian here to sit in charge, but after all, it was the pirate leader below who was in charge. Moreover, Sauron took a look and found that the relationship between his subordinates seemed to be a little delicate, and there was a faint posture of dividing into factions.
Among the titular pirate bosses, the highest ranking is probably Adele Isabella.
She has the most subordinates, and her own strength is also high-level or above, but after the half-elf first mate Casa was rewarded by Sauron for his ability to do things, and handed over part of the overseas voyage to him to take care of, the status of the half-elf first mate was also skyrocketing. The half-elf first mate has always been willing to compete with Adele Isabella, and the last time he successfully plundered the pirate king Asrod's fleet in the East, bringing back a large fortune and an ocean-going fleet, he has in turn surpassed Adele in strength.
On the other hand, due to the failure to contact the Alchemy Guild, not only did she not complete Sauron's task, but she was also delayed for a while, so that Sauron didn't have a chance to see him before he left for the Northlands. Therefore, the pirates below obviously have a lot less respect for her, the pirates are a group of people who respect and obey the strong, and Adele-Isabella is not good enough to complete the task of His Excellency the Throat Cutter, and the pirate leaders below will naturally despise her.
In addition, she is still a woman, so her position in the camp is more awkward at the moment!
Sauron before leaving.
The characters who built the camp were distributed to the pirate leaders below, of which the half-elf first mate was the manager, and after Adele Isabella returned to the camp, he naturally would not hand over the power in his hands to her, so that Adele is now like an empty pirate leader, although there are still a lot of people under him, but in fact, every day is quite idle. Other pirate bosses. For example, the one-eyed dragon, the butler, the giant hunter (all nicknames), etc., they were not very satisfied with a woman pressing on their heads, so when the half-elf first mate divided the faction, they also formed their own small circles, and faintly planned to isolate her.
Anyway.
It is always much more difficult for a woman to stand out as a pirate than a man, and Adele is not strong enough to significantly suppress other pirate leaders.
If she is a legendary professional, her status is naturally unshakable!
However, she is still only a high-level professional, and the other pirate leaders are not very different from her, so once she is isolated, even her subordinates will be a little shaken.
Pirates are not fools.
Although they are all for the sake of Your Excellency, the Throat Cutter. However, which pirate leader is more powerful and more reused by His Excellency the Throat Cutter, and which pirate leader has more oil and water under it, these pirate minions naturally know in their hearts.
So, at a glance, Sauron found Adele's now rather embarrassing position!
The other pirate leaders stood in a circle, with the half-elf first mate at the front, and Adele standing alone with her arms crossed, her expression a little indifferent to them.
"Your Excellency the Throat Cutter!"
"Your Excellency the Throat Cutter!"
When Sauron approached, the many pirate leaders in front of him immediately bowed their heads in respect. Adele looked at Sauron with a look of wanting to speak, and finally just stood aside with a lonely expression.
She didn't complete the task, and this failure made her feel frustrated!
"Let the stuff go down!"
Sauron glanced at the others, then fell on the Half-Elf First Officer and Adele. Said slowly: "Everyone else should stand down." Casa and Adele stayed. ”
The pirate leaders below glanced at each other and bowed back.
The half-elf first mate glanced at Adele and stood motionless, His Excellency the Throat Slither is a person who values ability. During this time, he worked desperately to build it, and even used a little cruel means to suppress the dissatisfaction and complaints of his subordinates, so that His Excellency the Throat Cutter could see his ability. The construction progress of the camp has increased by at least 30 per cent. Although there was a bit of cruelty in the process, the people below had been subdued by him, and he had completed the task perfectly in all aspects.
Therefore, the Half-Elf First Officer was very confident, and he believed that His Excellency the Throat Slitter knew who was the best person to serve him.
"Well done!"
Sauron's eyes swept over the lighthouse, the road, and the docks, and said slowly, "It seems that it was the right decision to hand this over to you!" You haven't had any trouble during this time, have you? ”
Hearing Sauron's words, Adele's expression darkened, and the half-elf first mate showed a confident smile.
He leaned down slightly to show his awe, and then said in a deep voice: "It's not a big trouble during this time, but a week ago I met the natives of other tribes, and it seems that they are on the other side of the island. We were met by indigenous scouts, and we were not attacked, but they sent men to watch over the other side of the river. ”
"Then there's the nearby Betsy Pterodactyl, where we were taken away from three slaves half a month ago."
"But then they didn't attack us again, it was probably just an accident. Also, Your Excellency Throat Cutter, we recently discovered a Darktide fish-people group on the harbor side, and there is no conflict with us at the moment, but we should be careful. ”
Sauron nodded and said, "I see." ”
"Good job. You take someone to count the cargo slaves and then settle them in the camp. ”
The half-elf first mate bowed and retired.
In front of Sauron, only Adele Isabella remained, and the red-haired female pirate looked a little gloomy, and bowed her head and said, "Your Excellency." I didn't finish what you were told! ”
Sauron glanced at her calmly and said slowly, "I know. ”
"Me! ......" Adele's face was complicated, a little lost and a little sad, and muttered: "The subordinates are incompetent!" ……”
Sauron didn't comfort her.
He is one of the three pirate kings on the south coast, not a child who has played with his family, he can rise rapidly in such a short period of time, and at the same time win over a group of pirate elites, relying on his style of rewarding and punishing clearly. Adele really didn't complete the task, and Sauron was able to make his subordinates serve so actively because he was rewarded. Therefore, if he breaks the rules on Adele's side, the prestige he has established in the past will be affected, and he must not indulge the other party just because he is a woman.
Sauron stared at the red-haired female pirate in front of him, and said slowly: "You can put aside the affairs of the camp for the time being, and I will lead the fleet for the time being." ”
"I'll send you to Drow in two days to train as a drow warrior, you have a very good talent, and your strength is much stronger than the others, I hope you can touch the edge of the legend as much as possible."
"Soon!"
"I'll have a difficult task for you."
"I hope you've learned not only the fighting skills of the Drow Elves, but also their insidious and cunning methods, as the task given to you this time is difficult, and you'll need to deal with many noble church members who are good at manipulating tricks. You'll have to learn to use intrigue and some brutal tactics, and the Drow is an expert at this. ”
Hearing Sauron's first words, Adele couldn't help but turn pale and shake her delicate body.
For Sauron was depriving her of power, and the punishment was too severe for her. However, when she heard the latter words, her eyes couldn't help but glow with a glimmer of brilliance again, and she nodded very solemnly and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry!" ”
"I won't let you down again!"
As long as there is still a chance, she can prove herself and regain her power and position.
"Good."
Sauron glanced at her, nodded slightly, and said, "Go ahead." I hope to see you enter the saga one day. ”
With that, he turned and left.
Adele Isabella stood still and took a deep breath, staring at Sauron's back with a determined expression, her hands clenched into fists.
Unwilling!
How could she be willing to be surpassed by a half-elf who was originally inferior to herself, and she had the blood of an Amazon woman flowing in her body, how could she admit defeat so lightly!
