While in charge of the vast organization of the Dark Cloak on behalf of His Majesty, Count Stinch was also a court nobleman of Lordaeron. As a staunch supporter of the royal party, he had long seen Stratholme, a group of local nobles who wanted to break away from the control of the kingdom, not please.

Therefore, in order to cooperate with this operation of the Second Legion, he invested unprecedented energy, and almost half of the members of the Dark Cloak were photographed by him in the city. As soon as the time comes, he will directly take down that group of nobles and judge this group of guys in front of all the commoners.

Of course, all the incriminating evidence has been done seamlessly, and with the support of the indignant residents of Stratholme, Lordaeron will easily hold the city that wants to get out of control. And His Majesty the King, who has dealt with the moths, will still maintain the image of mercy and forgiveness in the hearts of the people. After all, public opinion has always been a tool in the hands of those in power, hasn't it?

"That goblin merchant is a North Sea pirate?"

Looking at the respectful subordinates in front of him, Stinch pondered for a moment and replied, "Send a team of people to the dock area to check!" Also, inform Captain Garisus of the Second Legion to keep an eye out for the North Sea pirates who should be thrown away to feed the fish! ”

"Also, keep an eye out for the scum of the nobility, I fear they won't surrender so easily. We want an obedient and stable Stratholme, not a chaotic ruin. ”

"For Lordaeron!"

The dockland area was as lively as usual at night, and luckily there were no more irritating sounds next door today. The goblin pirate, who was terrified because he learned of a "big plan", looked like he was asleep early, and his mind was spinning rapidly: This human thief and Jonah? What exactly does Captain Sterling want to do? Do they really want to plunge into this unprofitable battle with well-trained pirates and precious warships?

In this day and age, it is not easy to become a qualified pirate. In order to be able to control the sails proficiently, an ordinary sailor needs to know hundreds of knots, not to mention that in addition to some precious technical trades, almost all pirates must have a certain combat effectiveness.

In addition, although the pirate ship is just a large pile of wood put together, it is really not cheap. An ordinary three-masted galleon would cost at least four or five hundred gold coins, not to mention the associated renovations and the cost of daily wear and tear and repairs.

Looking at all the human kingdoms, even the most wealthy Lordaeron Kingdom has less than 100,000 gold coins a year, which shows how bottomless the ship is to burn money.

Therefore, with the exception of the High Elves who are not bad for money and the goblins who have the means to make money, in human society, the precious things such as sea ships are not at all affordable for ordinary thieves. Naturally, most of those famous pirate ships were originally merchant ships in the name of a certain kingdom or nobleman, but for various reasons, the captain led the crew to devote themselves to the cause of piracy.

The earliest human pirates only plundered passing merchant ships in the waters near the continent of Lordaeron, but with the passage of time and the accumulation of strength, as well as years of bitter hatred with the navies of the major human kingdoms, they established a base in Northrend and formed a pirate alliance, and since then they have become feared pirates of the North Sea.

It was then that this group of sea men who pursued freedom and money really became murderous villains. In a sense, they are no longer pirates, but a violent group that uses plundering as a means of revenue, and has truly become a force.

As a member of the Pirates of the North Sea, an elegant goblin with ideals and discipline, Gryzx has always lived in the ancient tradition of pirates, never going out of his own way to do anything that would ruin his reputation. But if someone holds a dagger around his neck, he will still be "forced" to submit.

Even if he is a famous master of disguise in Rogue Harbor, but Jonah? Sterling isn't the traditional pirate who cares about so many things, he's a thug through and through! It is impossible for any normal person to come up with such a plan and attack the second largest city in the kingdom of Lordaeron? That's just throwing their good bunch of pirates into the wolves!

What's more, as a shrewd merchant, the goblin pirate could not see the benefits of it, and the reason why the pirate robbed the merchant ship was because the merchant ship concentrated all kinds of valuable goods, and the pirate could make a lot of money from it, which is why few pirates went ashore to plunder - in a word, it was not worth it!

Disembarking not only meant that the pirates lost their home advantage, but at the same time the valuable things were scattered, unlike merchant ships that were just a simple target. This, combined with the possible presence of defenses and a large number of soldiers, led to the consequence that pirates would not rob the towns on the shore unless they were revenge for killing.

But now, the boss of the fleet was going to take them to the trouble of a big city sheltered by tall walls, and although he knew that there must be some reason that he did not know, the cautious goblins had already retreated in their hearts.

He didn't have the ambition to become the king of the pirates and spread his fame all over the world, and the reason why he became a pirate was only because he was eyeing the gold mine of the pirates of the North Sea. So, he already had a good idea in his mind: he was going to sell this bunch of muscular guys for a good price before he ended his pirate career.

It was late at night, and in the dark room, the goblin who had been lying on the bed and pretending to be asleep opened his eyes carefully. He leaned sideways, glancing at the human thief on the other bed through his squinted eyes. The man's chest and abdomen moved rhythmically with his breathing, apparently asleep.

At this moment, Gryzx seemed to return to his early days as a thief when he wandered around the world, and he gently rolled out of bed and landed firmly on the ground. His feet were on the old plank, but he didn't make a sound. The goblin took a careful look at the human thief who had turned over, stood on tiptoe, and quietly opened the door, and slipped through the small gap.

The closed door blocked the light from the hallway again, and in the darkness, Segaard Brisboes opened his eyes, black pupils like bottomless black holes. He stared at the closed door for a long time, then turned over and began to fall asleep.

The curtain has opened.
