Chapter 68: The undercurrent is turbulent
Later, Will left Becky and Luciano in the City of the Giant Shoulders to continue to deal with post-war matters and vigorously co-opt the original Outfeld members.
It is impossible for Luciano to tell the low-level members of Will's plan, and it is Luciano's strategy to transfer most of the members on the day of the decisive battle through orders + misleading.
Now, the fool also knows that something has happened to Otfi, and it will take some effort to successfully subdue this group of people.
Becky and Luciano are the perfect duo to be the perfect duo with a lot of prestige in Otafine.
Will, on the other hand, took most of the members of the Heavenly King Pirates to Horseshoe Bend Island.
Although the plan is to occupy the magpie's nest and replace it with Otfi.
But Will doesn't plan to station the Pirates in Giant Shoulder.
When the wolf leaves the steppe, it loses its wildness.
It's the same with people.
If you choose to be stationed in the city of giant shoulders, in the future, Otfi will be an affiliate of the pirates, and the ordinary members of the ship may be able to walk sideways in the city.
In the long run, those who are not strong enough will may be lost in the drunken gold.
Therefore, it is Mingzhi's choice to keep the elite troops away from the bustle.
Speaking of which, thanks to the memories in my head. In memory, in another world, both ancient and modern, the military is like a group completely independent of society.
It is extremely difficult for normal people to come into contact with real soldiers, and active duty soldiers rarely get vacation, and it is even more difficult for them to integrate into society. The purpose is precisely to keep the military wild.
Will thinks it makes sense and decides to copy it.
And with the withdrawal of the Heavenly King Pirates, the city of giant shoulders has returned to its former prosperity.
Elements of Otfi began to appear on the streets to maintain their dominance in the city. There was an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going, and everything was as if it were yesterday.
However, these are only on the surface, and the undercurrents under the table are beginning to surge.
…………
Hagbuther Kingdom, inside the royal city.
Members of the royal family, in the palace of Prince Diodori, who controls the military of the kingdom, several nobles are holding a secret meeting.
Diodori, with a gloomy face and a scar on his face, sat in the center with a golden knife in a military uniform, with a calm face.
However, the person sitting at the bottom is different.
In the past, the nobles who behaved elegantly and well-dressed were like shrews, arguing non-stop.
"This big Jim, it's useless! Isn't it claimed to be backed by a big organization? He actually said that if he was destroyed, he would be destroyed! A big fat nobleman said indignantly.
"Of course Sir Valia is in a hurry, after all, eighty percent of your income comes from the timber trade with Otfi!" The middle-aged man with a square face, even sitting on the sofa, still with a straight back, mocked.
"Yurik! Don't think I don't know you! Where did Otfi's weapons come from? It's not all you provide! "As the Duke of the Kingdom, how many people dare to mock him to his face? I was so angry that my voice was screaming.
Yurik, who has a military background, still straightened his pole and retorted with a decent face: "That's because Otfi guaranteed that the city of Giant Shoulders would not be raided by pirates, so I agreed to sell weapons to the other party." I wonder if Sir knows how much this move has saved the kingdom military expenses, and at the same time brought peace to the people! ”
"You're not making any less, are you?" Valia said.
"Okay, okay, all of you here have business dealings with Outephi, and everyone is obviously a partner, so what's there to quarrel about." An old man's voice rang out, acting as a peacemaker.
"Sir Sigrek, don't you be in a hurry when the autumn harvest is about to begin? I've heard that the winery in Otfi shows no signs of resuming work at all."
The main raw material for sake brewing is grain or fruit.
This is also the reason why there is a national ban on alcohol.
The people can't fill their stomachs, and they still use grain to make wine?
"Hehe, I believe that the prince will definitely have a way!" Siglick smiled and threw the ball to Diodori, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Since Otfi has been co-opted, not destroyed. So naturally they want to continue to run the club, but if they want to run it, can they bypass us? Diodori had been arguing with each other, and only then did he speak slowly.
"And for us, is it a difference if the collaborator is Big Jim or some pirate group?"
"Not bad, not bad! As long as there is money to be made! Vallido muttered to himself.
"Calm down, the other party will come to the door!" Diodori waved his hand and ended the messy meeting.
……
After the meeting, Sigrik and Valia walked away together.
"Sir, are we just going to wait?" Out of the Prince's Palace, Valia looked at his own people on the left and right, and whispered to Sigrik.
"Of course not! The army is fed by the king, and your lumberjacks and my peasants are all paid for by ourselves! Siglick's eyes were shining, and what he said was very different from before!
"Yes! I thought so too! Valia hastily chimed in.
"But, Sir just..."
"You! It's just too upright! Siglick looked like an earnest elder.
"When talking to our prince, you still have to keep three points! This prince is different from the two of us who just want to make a little money! Thinking... It's so deep! ”
"Anyway... Wait a few days, and if they don't come to us, we'll go find them..."
And in the prince's palace, Yurik said angrily: "My lord! Why bother working with such a villain! In our power..."
Speaking of this, Theodori, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating all the time, opened his eyes suddenly!
A flash of murder!
Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Yurik hurriedly shut his mouth.
Only then did Theodori close his eyes again, and said quietly: "Those who achieve great things are not informal." It is this kind of villain who is easy to be tempted.
When it's done, just get rid of it all!
As for now, be patient..."
"Yes..."
…………
At the same time, Dorag also brought Zhixiong's real body back to the headquarters of the revolutionary army.
“…… That's how it happened. ”
As soon as Dorag finished introducing what happened, someone immediately began to impeach!
"Dorag! You actually watched your comrades die in front of your eyes! And let the murderer go! What a sin you should be! ”
"That's right! Propose to decide that the Dorag mission has failed! ”
The Dorag is also not a soft persimmon.
In fact, he was very disgusted with Zhi Zhixiong's private engagement in human trafficking, and he never treated the other party as a comrade at all!
The current situation is exactly in line with the best result in mind!
"It doesn't seem to include the mission to bring people back 'alive', right?"
"Dorag! Just promoted to cadre! Do you feel that your wings are stiff? ”
"It's just a matter of facts..."
While talking, several people hyped up.
"Alright! It is true that it was not explicitly said that Zhi Zhixiong's life would be guaranteed! Even if there were no accidents, would he come back obediently? Don't argue about this anymore! ”
The current leader of the revolutionary army obviously loves Dorag very much, and the coffin is closed!
“…… Even if the matter of Dorag is not discussed, this Heavenly King Pirate must be defeated! Otherwise, how can the prestige of the revolutionary army be guaranteed in the future? ”
"Not bad... If you kill a dignified revolutionary army cadre, you must pay the price! ”
"I also agree, otherwise there will be more resistance to future activities!"
This proposal received a lot of support in an instant!
However, it is Will's great crisis!
