Chapter 255: Compromise
"So, what's your answer?" Kamodo stood on the deck and looked at the stiff-faced Lennyrus condescendingly, "Do you want to go to war, or do you want to grant my request?"
Ranilus's face became cloudy, among the many merchant clans in the South China Sea Islands, the strength of the Peruvian family is not particularly outstanding, if you want to face several merchant clans attacking at the same time, I am afraid that there is no chance of victory at all, and the conditions put forward by Camodo are extremely harsh, if he agrees to him, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.
"Please allow me to return to my family and counsel with my father. Lanilus calmed down his panicked mood for a moment: "With such a huge amount of compensation, I'm afraid I can't make the decision myself, as you know, the financial power of the Peruvian family is in the hands of the head of the family." ”
Kamodo slowly straightened up, and he sneered: "It seems that you haven't figured out the situation until now......"
"Intercept you outside Blu-ray City today, what I want is a result. Kamodo's tone stiffened, and he pointed to the warships of the other families around him: "We dispatched hundreds of soldiers and used more than a dozen warships, and if you say a word, I will let you go?"
"Since you feel that you can't make a decision, then I'll just help you. As if he had made a decision, Kamodo waved his hand to the soldiers behind him: "Go, drag a few people out of his cabin!"
"What do you want to do!?" Rannyrus was savagely pushed away by the two soldiers, as if anticipating the other party's next thoughts, his eyes widened: "I said it, I will give you a satisfactory answer!"
"It's too slow! I can't wait!"
Two soldiers in the uniforms of the Black Star family swore and pulled a young sailor out of the cabin and pinned him to the deck, kneeling there in a very humiliating position.
Kamodo pointed to the sailor who was held to his neck with a steel knife and sighed, "He's probably not even more than sixteen years old, it's a pity." ”
The sailor shuddered, the cold, tingling sensation coming from the bare skin of his neck made him shiver, and a fierce sense of fear took over his body and mind, and he did not dare to open his eyes to look, and felt that his head was blank.
"My lord, help me!"
The mournful cries of the young sailors rang out.
The soldiers and sailors of the Peruvian family around them felt a wave of humiliating anger welling up in their hearts, and the enemy had taken their companions before their eyes, and they could only stand there and watch.
But in addition to anger, there is more fear, although the soldiers on the merchant ship of the Peruvian family are the elite of the family, but the number of the other party is too much, this gap in the base is not to rely on momentum and courage to make up, they look at the enemy who surrounded their merchant ships, a strong sense of powerlessness filled the whole body.
"What about your answer?"
"Lord Kamodo," Ranillus looked up, "what I said before is true, and the power over the large financial expenditures of the Peruvian family is not in my hands at all, and even if I agree to your request now, it may not be fulfilled when I return to the family. ”
Kamodo squinted, as if to think about the truth in Lanilus's words.
For a moment, the water fell into calm, and neither side took the initiative to speak.
"If you won't believe me, you can keep me as a hostage, and I'll let my servant return to the family and tell you the truth. Lanilus saw that Camodo's face changed slightly, and thought that his words had an effect, "With me in your custody, you don't have to worry about the Peruvian family going back on your word at all." ”
"That's a good point. Kamodo nodded.
Lanilus secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "We belong to the Shang clan in the south, so there is some misunderstanding to sit down and talk about ......"
Kamodo chuckled, a cruel smile on his lips.
His fingers moved slightly, and the two soldiers immediately understood.
The sword light is bright, cutting through the sea breeze.
Blood splattered!
Ranilus froze, feeling his bones solidify for a moment, watching the sailor fall to his knees feebly, blood pooling under the sailor's body, and a deep fear on his slightly immature face.
"Your proposal is good, I agree with the idea of keeping you as a hostage," Kamodo spread his hands, "keep all the silver coins on your merchant ship, and the rest can leave." ”
"Why kill him......" Ranilus' face was gloomy and terrifying, and he gritted his teeth.
While anger wasn't for a businessman, especially in the current situation, Ranilus still felt the anger burning in his chest.
"What did you say?" asked Kamodo with a frown.
"I ask you," Ranilus asked, his face twitching, word by word, "you have agreed to my proposal, why do you still want to attack my people!"
Kamodo finally heard Lanilus's words clearly, he raised his eyebrows, and watched Lanilus's gaze become contemptuous: "I think, in this case, it is not a rational choice to provoke me for the sake of a low-level sailor. ”
"Why? I'll tell you why," Kamodo shrugged, "We need a little blood to make people remember that breaking the rules is a terrible price, especially when you don't have the strength to bear the consequences......"
"We're going to beat some guys with evil intentions, and when we want to do things in the future, we should first consider that our own strength can carry our ambitions. Kamodo lowered his voice: "It's your luck this time, someone died for you, and next time you won't be so lucky." ”
......
"What's the catch?" Squatting in the simple port, Rand looked at the equally simple shipyard next to it, compared to the huge scale of Lindong City, the environment here was obviously a little aggrieved: "I'm buying wood to make the hull, but the progress is a little slow." ”
"Taking advantage of this time, I want to go back to Lindong City. Mo Duo pondered for a moment: "I need some large tools and instruments, and the craftsmen in your territory cannot be my assistants for the time being, I am going to select a group of people from the apprentices in Lindong City to assist me." ”
Lindong City ......
Rand had some doubts, in case Ron noticed Modo's movements......
"Don't worry, Lord Ron hasn't had time to care about the shipyard lately," Modo seemed to see Rand's concern, and explained, "And I was sent to Lindong City by Lord Duke at that time to assist Lord Ron in building the town, and now Lindong City is strong enough, even if I want to leave, I believe Ron has no reason to refuse." ”
