The interrogation of the pirates did not go well. But after Chen Tianci used some means, he let them reveal the truth.

Just as Chen Tianci originally imagined, there were spies mixed in with the mercenary group.

These spies were sent in by the mercenary groups that had been taught by Chen Tianci before.

Knowing that they could not fight Chen Tianci head-on, those mercenary groups planned to use the method of borrowing knives to kill people, and outside the city, the pirates would come out to solve the problem.

But obviously, they didn't expect that Chen Tianci's strength had reached such an astonishing level.

Repentance is the common voice of the pirates.

And the origin of those broken yuan guns made Chen Tianci a little surprised.

All of those firearms were made by the Wang family. The Wang family secretly found the Water Scorpion Pirates, and on the condition of helping them expand their strength, they were asked to secretly form an alliance with the Wang family.

"What is their purpose?" Chen Tianci hurriedly asked.

The Wang family of Zijin City has always been out of their duty. Although they have been driven out of Zijin City, they have not been wiped out, and the remnants of the royal family have never given up their plans to return to Zijin City and regain their former glory.

Therefore, Chen Tianci secretly guessed in his heart whether they wanted to make a big move in secret.

The pirates couldn't give Chen Tianci an answer. Because even they don't know what the other person really wants and what the ultimate goal is.

All they knew was that they had provided them with weapons for free and encouraged them to plunder the supplies of the various city-states, but they never mentioned what their goals were.

This made Chen Tianci very puzzled.

The mermaid head and several others who participated in the interrogation on the side were already a little dumbfounded.

Purple City, Purple City Wang Family, and other forces are not comparable to them. What is the identity of this person in front of you? The same question flashed through the minds of everyone present.

Chen Tianci's mind moved slightly, and he had already sensed the doubts in everyone's hearts.

But at this time, he had no way to hide it anymore. Because of this matter, it involved Zijin City, the traitor of Zijin City, the remnants of the Wang family.

He had to inform Ye Feng and the others of this matter as soon as possible. Because of the appearance of the Yuan-breaking weapon, it is very likely to threaten the safety of his united city-state.

This area of the sea is not far from the United City-States, although their trading fleet does not open routes in this area, but with the development of the United City-States, the trade routes in this area will be opened sooner or later.

At that point, you might encounter other pirates with elemental weapons.

When the time comes, it will inevitably be another vicious battle.

"Commander, can your communication equipment connect to the communication channels of other city-states?" Chen Tianci turned his head sideways and asked the head of the mermaid.

The mermaid leader nodded and said, "No problem. However, if you want to connect to other city-states, you need to access the key, and I don't have it in my hand, so I'm afraid I won't be able to connect it. ”

Chen Tianci smiled slightly and said, "Then you don't have to bother, you just need to lend me the equipment." ”

A look of clarity flashed in the eyes of the mermaid leader, and he did not hesitate to give Chen Tianci the right to use the equipment.

Chen Tianci thanked the other party, and then interrogated all the captives, and after confirming that there was no missing information, he handed over all the captives to the mermaid head for processing.

He didn't bother to ask about the prisoners anymore, because it was already a matter between the mercenary group and the pirates, and it wasn't something he should meddle in.

After interrogating the captives, Chen Tianci cooperated with the mermaid leader to launch a clean-up operation against the entire mercenary group.

The rats, which were confirmed to be sent in by other mercenary groups, were pulled out one by one and then executed in public. Chen Tianci watched coldly, and only after all the spies had been completely eliminated did he turn around and leave.

Soon after, he connected to the United City-State through a communicator.

The United City-State was anxious about Chen Tianci's disappearance, but at this time, he actually received a communication claiming to be the Lord of the United City-State himself.

The correspondent who received the communication immediately judged that Chen Tianci was playing a prank, and immediately reprimanded Chen Tianci and hung up the communication.

Chen Tianci helplessly looked at the communication equipment that was hung up in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

On weekdays, he informed Ye Feng and other high-ranking officials of the United City-State that they all communicated through dedicated channels, but now, because they borrowed third-party communication equipment, they could not connect to those private communication channels.

But he didn't expect that the habits he had developed on weekdays would bring him such trouble. The correspondents apparently had no impression of his voice.

In desperation, Chen Tianci could only connect the communicator again, and then asked the other party to connect to the communication channel of Ye Feng and others with an anonymous messenger who transmitted information.

This time, Chen Tianci got his wish and talked to Ye Feng.

After some surprise and inquiry, Ye Feng wanted to leave the coordinates of Chen Tianci's location.

At the same time, Chen Tianci also learned of a very unfavorable situation.

There have been a number of attacks and damage to merchant ships in the vicinity of the United City-States.

"What?" Chen Tianci was shocked, "How serious is it?" ”

Attacks on merchant ships were rare in the United City-States, as the entire United City-States were extremely protective of merchant ships that were out of trade. There are not only the security personnel accompanying the ship, but also the escort ship, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

However, in this case, there will be attacks and damage to merchant ships, which shows that the situation is not ordinary.

"The exact losses are still being counted. But what is known is that the battleships we sent out to protect lost a tenth. Ye Feng reported.

"How can there be so many?" Except for Tianci's frowning slightly.

Although the warships sent out are not the most advanced warships, they are also improved models, and in terms of protection, they can completely resist the attacks of heavy warships. But why suffer such serious losses?

"According to what we have learned, the attacks on our merchant ships and convoys were carried out by pirate gangs active in the vicinity of the area. Many of them are equipped with weapons designed to break through the protective shields, and it is precisely because of this that our fleet has suffered such great losses. Ye Feng said.

"What about Longtu's fleet?" Chen Tianci asked.

Ye Feng sighed slightly and said, "You are missing, and Long Tu was sent by the two sisters-in-law to find you." Now we still have to face sneak attacks from the Ferris Cult from time to time, and the entire city-state can be said to be full of wolves, and a lot of troops need to be invested everywhere to deal with it. The attack on the merchant ship at this time, I personally feel that someone deliberately arranged it. ”

Chen Tianci's eyes narrowed slightly.

He also felt the smell of intrigue and trickery.

The United City-State was in such a predicament, something he had never expected.

It seems that the matter here must be resolved as soon as possible and return to the base camp.
