"No way!" Before Xu Mo could finish speaking, Camille immediately shouted angrily, "Lilu will never be a hostage to you!" ”

"Yes, if we can't even protect our own president, we might as well die here!" Fernand and Emilio looked at each other and agreed in unison.

"Maybe I didn't express it clearly, I didn't discuss it with you, I just told you briefly." Xu Mo slowly restrained his smile and said lightly, "Of course, you can also refuse!" In that case, I'll kill you first, and then sink the Flanders merchant ship on the sea. At most, when I get back to Stockholm, I'll have to say a word of humility to Hedlam! ”

As he spoke, Xu Mo peeked at Lilu. The Dutch girl remained silent after he made his intentions known. To be honest, Xu Mo didn't pay attention to the agency agreement between the Argot Chamber of Commerce and Hedram at all. If the person on the other side was not Lilu, he would have ordered the murder and burning of the ship, and the entire Dutch merchant ship would have been wiped out.

Xu Mo didn't immediately choose to kill these people from the Agotic Chamber of Commerce, but it wasn't because of the conscience of the old K head that he found out. Instead, after meeting Lilu, a new plan was born in his mind.

Although due to the particularity of this world, the two teams are all over the world, and it is not even clear where the other party is now, but the members of the old K group believe that they will definitely encounter the Temple of the Gods on their next adventure.

Now the old K regiment already has a strong ship and a cannon, and at the same time, with the help of Tie Lilie, Christina and others, in terms of using the power of the plot, it is one step ahead of the temples of the gods.

However, this advantage does not yet determine the final victory of the team battle, the battleship can be grabbed, and if the Temple of the Gods is lucky, the plot navigator is not necessarily impossible to recruit. After all, this world is a navigator's paradise, and in the port taverns of various European powers, there are still some depressed navigators for them to recruit.

The most important thing that determines the victory or defeat of the sea is who can grasp the information of the other side. Knowing the performance of the opponent's ships, it is possible to choose the mode of combat in a targeted manner. Got the opponent's route and can raid along the way. To win a naval battle, this intelligence is crucial, and in some cases can even reverse a huge gap in the performance of the battleship.

At present, the two teams are still at the same starting line in terms of intelligence, but the sources of intelligence of the two teams are not the same. The intelligence sources of the Temple of God in the era of sea power were other teams in the Y space, while the intelligence sources of the old K-group were plot forces, such as: Count Larsen's connections, Sweden's naval intelligence agency.

Seriously, the former of these two modes of intelligence is more reliable. The reason is that the information of the reincarnation is more targeted, and they can find out which naval battles are carried out by the reincarnation in the rare rumors of naval battles. After all, the combat methods of reincarnators are very different from the characters in the plot, and it is not difficult to distinguish which naval battles involve reincarnators.

In fact, this is also the most important reason why Xu Mo stopped the members of the old K group from making a move just now, and he didn't use the two golden plot weapons, he hopes to let the Vasa hide among the many plot warships as much as possible, delaying the time locked by the Temple of the Gods.

The name of the Visteros Triumvirate is indeed very loud, but there are very few reincarnators who know that Xu Mo is Alfred and thus lock the Vasa, and these people are almost unlikely to help the Temple of the Gods.

The old K-group can hide itself in the plot forces like chameleons, but the Temple of Gods can't do that. If they wanted to snipe the old K-Regiment in the era of sea power, they had to get a warship that was completely under their control, and they had to recruit some experienced navigators.

In this way, they will not be able to keep a low profile, and it is likely that they will need to seize the ships by force and quickly make some prestige at sea in order to recruit outstanding navigators.

However, even if the Temple of the Gods couldn't keep a low profile, it would be difficult for the old K-group to get this information without the help of other teams. Count Larson can't help much, after all, the Larson family basically serves in the army, and they are really powerless about the ocean. Although Sweden has risen rapidly in the past few years, because of its short time and geographical remoteness, the intelligence agencies established around the world are not perfect, and they are basically in the initial stage.

Perhaps these intelligence agencies can provide some help from the fleet movements and combat intelligence of the navies of the hostile countries. But it was too much for them to ask them to help find clues to the Temple of the Gods.

Unlike the Netherlands, Amsterdam was the largest financial and trade center of the Age of Discovery, with regular navies, pirates, merchants, and adventurers all living here. As long as it is about navigation, large and small, you can find various versions here, and almost all the business information, naval warfare intelligence and adventure stories in the world are concentrated.

Lilu and Camille are the head snakes of Amsterdam, although the scale of the Argotic Chamber of Commerce is not large, but in the last experience, Xu Mo has clearly understood the skills of this Dutch beautiful girl. Being able to start from scratch and take your place among the many great chambers of commerce in Amsterdam is a remarkable thing in itself.

The moment he saw the Dutch girl, Xu Mo's heart was full of surprise. If the Agotic Chamber of Commerce could continue to provide him with information, he was confident that he would be able to find out the movements of the Temple of the Gods from the vast sea of rumors.

However, this Dutch beautiful girl is too shrewd, and it is not easy to take advantage of her. Then the only way is to start with the friends she values.

"I agree to take you hostage, but you must first send the three of them back to the merchant ship!" When Xu Mo was paying attention to Lilu, the Dutch girl was also secretly observing the newly released Swedish Navy Admiral, and realized that there was really no room for resistance on her side, and the beautiful girl president of the Argotic Chamber of Commerce sighed and finally chose to compromise.

"No, Lilu, you are the president of the Argotic Chamber of Commerce, and you can't be kept as a hostage!" At this time, Camille and the others finally calmed down, and Camille looked up helplessly and said to Xu Mo, "Admiral Alfred, since you need a hostage to ensure that we don't reveal the movements of the battleship, then let me be a hostage for you!" ”

“…… Yes, but you are not on par with President Argoth. In addition to you, the remaining two people have to keep one! Oh, just the big one, and if your president doesn't keep his word, at least this big man can help us block a few more buckshots. Xu Mo stretched out his finger and nodded at Emilio, "Also, in addition to the hostages, you must hand over the gold coins on the merchant ship as a deposit......

"What? You're robbing~ robbing! Camille blushed and said angrily.

"Admiral Alfred, can I speak to you alone?" Lilu suddenly smiled and looked up and said.

"Huh? Of course! Xu Mo's eyes flashed, and he stepped off the bridge and opened the hatch of the captain's room, "Please come in, President Argot!" ”

"Your battle area this time is the Mediterranean, right?" As soon as she entered the captain's cabin, Lilu let go of her tense little face and asked with a grin.

"Don't beat around the bush to inquire about my course, I won't tell you!" Xu Mo raised his eyebrows and glanced at the Dutch girl vigilantly, "Do you want something to drink?" ”

"Hee-hee, no need! With this formidable warship at your feet, there are few other seas that can threaten its existence. Only in the Mediterranean, where there are many strong players, can you have an opponent. Did you forcibly leave my crew behind, did you want the Argotic Chamber of Commerce to provide you with information on the fleets of hostile countries? A hint of sly gaze flashed in Lilu's turquoise pupils.

"Smack!" The wine glass in Xu Mo's hand cracked, and the young man was silent for a while, put the broken wine glass on the table, and looked back at Lilu deeply. This Dutch girl has too keen senses, and as a prisoner, she can still have such a clear mind, no wonder she can establish a chamber of commerce in Amsterdam and mix well.

"You have a good mind and great intuition, but that doesn't change my decision!" Xu Mo's eyes flashed and he said cautiously.

"Of course, the strong on the sea are respected, you have controlled the scene, I don't expect you to be merciful and let us go unconditionally!" Lilu waved her hand and said with a smile, "I just want to talk to you about investment......

"Investment?" Xu Mo blinked his eyes and looked at the girl a little stunned.

"yes, invest!" Seeing Xu Mo's stunned appearance, Lilu finally narrowed her eyes happily.

……

"Admiral Alfred, then Lilu will take her leave! Camille and Emilio, please bother! Soon, the door to the captain's room was reopened, and Lilu smiled at the skirt of her skirt and gave a half-bow to the Swedish admiral behind her, then walked back to her companion and whispered an injunction.

"......" Compared with Lilu's relaxed expression, Xu Mo's face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water.

"Boss, what did Lilu say to you in the captain's room, you don't seem to be very happy!" Dinah asked curiously in the team channel.

"Hehe, is it that obvious?" A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Mo's mouth, "If you look at it from the perspective of business negotiation, I am a failure." The Dutch Maiden President was indeed shrewd, and she took advantage of my desperate need for information to basically avoid naval losses.

In addition to the hostages, she promised to give me information on a regular basis, and gave me 20,000 gold coins from the merchant ships. However, it is not our trophy, but similar to an investment. We'll need to give them the privateers we get when we return to sell on our behalf. If the Vasa's cabin could be filled with privateer cargo, she would not only be able to retrieve 20,000 gold coins, but she should also make a considerable profit. ”

The Vasa then lowered a dinghy, and Serna, with a few Viking sailors, followed Lilu aboard a Flemish merchant ship and retrieved the 20,000 gold coins from the ship.

"Hooray!" Looking at several large boxes of gold coins, the Vasa erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

"BOSS, there's something you must see!" While Xu Mo was smiling and accepting the attention of the sailors, Serna's slightly strange voice came from the team channel.
