At the same time, Malan also began to prepare for the battle. His men had gathered a group of dock workers and sailors. Their business has been sluggish recently, and the dock brotherhood has been frantically squeezing them for a while, they basically can't survive, many of them have joined the resistance group in Malan, of course, there are also their own people to organize riots, but unfortunately they have all failed, in recent days, the ground in the dock area has been sprinkled with blood, there are sailors and workers, and of course, there are gangsters and thugs of the dock brotherhood.

Although the Dock Brotherhood is nominally a mutual aid organization for the sailors and workers on the dock, it is not in fact a long time ago, and the sailors and workers have become one of the main members of the oppression of the Dock Brotherhood - after all, although the dock is in Midtown, and the city hall has a relatively tight control over the dock in the previous days, this group of sailors and workers live in the lower city, which is the territory of the dock brotherhood!

And the ruler of Ward Harbor, the city lord Miles, is also a little worried about this, after all, if a large-scale civil strife breaks out in the city, it will be extremely unfavorable to the war. Miles summoned Desmond, the director of the town hall, to discuss the situation in the city.

"Desmond, what's going on on the docks lately?" Miles asked Desmond.

Desmond stood with his head bowed and said with some grievances: "Lord of the city, the sailors and workers on the docks are not satisfied with our collection of war taxes, and now it is a small riot every three days, and a big riot every five days!" Lord of the city, you said that these Diao people, why don't they have the slightest idea of loyalty and patriotism! Now the Empire needs their contribution! ”

Miles rolled his eyes and said, "Loyal and patriotic? Do you tell this mob that you are loyal and patriotic? Which king is you loyal to, and which country do you love? Most of them aren't even Roe, and you let them support us? It's pure fart! They don't care whether you live or die in the Roe Empire, they know that the Cécians are here, and their lives are still comfortable, does it matter to them who wins and who loses this war? It doesn't matter at all! Whoever wins, they listen! This group of immigrants came here when Ward Port was prosperous, and turned around and left when Ward Port was suffering, this is not some betrayal of the Empire, but human beings, the instinct of all intelligent beings is to ensure that they are alive first, and everyone is dead, what kind of loyal and patriotic kings and eight calves? The reason why we call ourselves soldiers and enjoy the glory of soldiers is because we have left life and death behind, for His Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the empire to shed our last drop of blood, this is the glory of our Roe soldiers, these mobs will not have, nor deserve it! ”

Desmond wept and said, "Lord of the city, I'm not a soldier either!" ”

Miles rolled his eyes and glared at him, and said, "Yes, you are not a soldier, but Your Majesty gave you a bite to eat, and you fucking eat the country every day, what, you have to pack up your things and run away as soon as possible?" ”

Desmond was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Lord of the City, I didn't mean that! I mean, how can't this mob learn from a loyal and patriotic man like me! ”

Miles spat him and said, "Okay, don't put gold on your face, let me tell you, once the logistics supply of Ward Port has an accident, Ward Port will not be saved, and don't wait for me to remove you from your post at that time, you can pray that you can save your life, I tell you, Desmond, I'm not afraid, even if I lose, I can return to the imperial capital, it's a big deal that I will retire from now on." You? Pray that Kostana will spare you a dog's life, and of course, you know that Kostana is not a soft man. ”

Desmond smiled wryly and said, "I know, I know." Lord of the city, what ...... What about the riots on the docks? ”

Miles raised his eyebrows and said, "What should I do?" Nonsense! Let the Dock Brotherhood crack down! Didn't you hand over Midtown to them, then they have to take responsibility for me! Go ahead and inform the sneaky big brother in charge and tell him to hurry up and quell all the riots in the city. ”

Desmond's face straightened and he replied, "Yes!" ”

Desmond saluted, turned and walked away, and Miles began to think on his own again.

At the same time, Snorlan also came to Maran's house. Snolan, Theresa, Leslie, Malan, and Falina sit together to discuss the specifics of the upcoming battle.

"First of all, on behalf of the Segou Army and the Port Ward Anti-Dock Brotherhood Alliance, I would like to welcome Snorlan, Theresa, and ...... Leslie: Right? Sitting at the table, Malan greeted the Snowlands with a pair of big, innocent-looking eyes.

"Well, there is no need to say polite words," Snorlan waved his hand, "You and I both know our relationship, and I hope we don't have any more crossroads after this time, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to control my anger." ”

Listening to Snowland's words, Malan smiled and said, "I hope so, too." But all in all, I'm sorry for what happened to Arturius, but I'm a Segou soldier, and my identity determines my behavior, and there are some things that I won't change even if I do it again, I hope you can understand. ”

Of course, Snorlan understands, he knows very well that the butt decides the head, but understanding does not mean that he will accept it, people will inevitably turn to his own people, Arturius is in turmoil, and it is true that he rebelled against the Segou Empire, but this also has to be seen dialectically, in the eyes of the Cégu people, Arturius is a heinous thug, and it is not enough to die ten times; But in the eyes of the enemies of the Cécites, such as the Roe, Arturius was a fighter for freedom, a hero against tyranny. Malan's status as a Segou soldier determines that he is the former, while Snorlan, as the person entrusted to him by Arturius to Trisa, is naturally the latter.

"Okay, don't mention the past today, since you and I can't make a conclusion to the past, then in today's cooperation, we don't mention the past, and when the cooperation is over, it's not too late for us to make a conclusion." Snorlan said.

Ma Lan nodded, he agreed with Snolan's idea: "Yes, come, let's take a look at the map of the big brother's house." ”

Snorlan nodded, and Malan took out a drawing, which had the floor plan of the big brother's house and the floor plan of the yard. Malan laid the drawing flat on the table, and Malan and Falina had studied it many times, and Snorlan, Theresa, and Leslie looked at it intently.
