Chapter 106: Harvest (Part II)

"What! ο½žβ€

Thinking that he had misheard, YΓ‘lvis asked suspiciously, "Give them fuel?" ”

"Yes, we can't rule over 800,000 people with our current manpower, after all, in their eyes, we are outsiders, and no matter how influential Gna is, it is impossible to stabilize all the free people. And these unruly freedmen are very dangerous, and they will take the slightest chance at all. So, instead of letting them stay here, let them go. Speaking of which, Robin pointed to the dilapidated Knife frigate moored at the spaceport: "Only by removing all the destabilizing factors can we have free hands to repair that big guy with confidence." For us, it is the most important thing to bring it back to combat. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Robin's words sent Jarvis deep in thought, and the other staff officers began to discuss the topic further.

"But will they just leave when they get fuel? They lacked food and water besides fuel, and in the Ultra Nebula, the capital of chaos was the only supply point, and they had nowhere else to go. A staff officer frowned and shook his head.

"No, they can go to the mines and collect rare substances." Robin smiled mysteriously: "Don't forget, our current identity is not just mercenaries, we also control the rare material market in the entire Northern Star Domain. We must make it clear to them who we really are, and announce that we entered the Capital of Chaos in order to restore normal trading in rare substances from the Northern Realm, and we can even promise them that the ban on supplies against the Free Folk will be lifted as soon as we bring back the corpse of the Bloody Harry. And once the City of Chaos is under our control, there will be a large number of supplies waiting for them to buy. I think that's enough to convince them to leave. ”

"Buy?" Jarvis noticed Robin's use of the word 'buy' and immediately realized what he really thought: "You want to divide them? ”

"Yes, if we declare our rule as mercenaries, then all the freedmen will be hostile to us. However, if we were to come here as merchants, we would be recognized by most of the miners. And the large group of free people will be divided into two camps in an instant. Miners and pirates, clearly separate them from the freedmen, and make them two opposing groups, and it will be much easier for us to control the capital of chaos. ”

"Treating miners and pirates differently allows Garner to come to our side. As long as you can prove that you have never been involved in any attacks, and to point out the pirate gangs lurking in the chaotic capital, you will be able to obtain fuel and supplies provided by us on credit. In this way, the miners and pirates can form a fundamental conflict of interests, and even borrow the power of the miners to subdue the pirates. Following Robin's train of thought, the thoughtful Jarvis immediately added a lot of details.

"On credit?" Robin was stunned: "If you borrow on credit, won't it be too ......?"

"Nothing is free in the Commonwealth, and I think the freemen know that more than we do. They had long been accustomed to the deceitful deceitful of the merchants, so that credit was more likely to gain their trust than gifts. And...... Corresponding to the gentle tactics we use with our miners, we must be extremely tough with our pirates, and in the process establish our absolute authority in the City of Chaos. Speaking of this, Yalvis narrowed his eyes with a grim expression: "In addition, it can also make Gnar spread the theory of piracy among the free people, so that all the miners will realize that all the suffering they are experiencing is caused by the bloody Harry and the pirates." Only by pitting these two camps against each other can we put an end to all hidden dangers and make this place our base once and for all. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Robin was dumbfounded by these follow-up plans, supplemented by YΓ‘rvis. Thinking of the completely foreseeable end result after the implementation of the plan, Robin even shuddered.

"You're such a bad guy." Robin, who came back to his senses, couldn't help but say this.

"It's the staff officer's job, and it's ......" Jarvis glanced at Robin with a smirk, "And isn't that your plan?" I'm just perfecting it. ”

"You guy...... Robin stood up with a smile: "So...... Let's start implementing it, I want to get things done here as quickly as possible. I have a hunch that something big is going to happen on Othello right away, and we don't have much time to waste. ”

"Yes! ο½žβ€

…… The capital of chaos.

Witnessing the defeat of Bloody Harry has created an atmosphere of tension and unease in the 'City of Chaos'. All along, Bloody Harry appeared to them as the king of the 'City of Chaos', the protector of the freedmen. Suddenly, the Patronus fell, leaving them feeling unsupported and fearing that the victors who came in their warships would spread death further among them.

So, just as Robin thought, the current 'chaotic capital' seems to have become a powder keg that can explode at any moment, and a single spark can completely ignite the rebellion of the free people. And 800,000 outlaws, even if they only have a few small weapons such as pistols, are enough to wipe out an army in an instant.

However, just as countless secret gatherings and rumors were spreading more and more frequently in the 'City of Chaos', the Caron mercenaries, who were the victors, suddenly issued a public message in the 'City of Chaos', claiming that their true identities were Roche Logistics Company, and that they had appointed Charon mercenaries to settle in the 'City of Chaos' in order to restore the normal trade of rare substances in the Northern Star Domain.

An army and a company, although it is actually only a name difference, in the minds of the free people, suddenly have a different meaning.

In the 'City of Chaos' and the entire Ultra Nebula mine, Bloody Harry is recognized by everyone as the uncrowned king, but his crown is more obtained by his immense power and the slogan of building a kingdom.

It was with this slogan that the Bloody Harry gained the support of the Freemen and successfully transformed the status of the Conqueror into the true master of the 'City of Chaos'.

However, after Bloody Harry began to rule in earnest, the freedmen who wandered in the mines soon discovered that not all freedmen would be able to enjoy the wonderful future he had promised under Bloody Harry's rule.

During these hellish months, the mob and pirates became the most favored group of the freedmen, looting like locusts and dividing up the loot at will. Such a life is indeed much better than the hard work life of the past, but not all free people are outlaws. In the face of the violent rule of Bloody Harry, those peaceful freedmen became the biggest victims.

Out of personal hatred, the Bloody Harry Decree forbade any miner from trading rare substances with the Byron Heavy Metals Trading Company, depriving all miners of a source of income. After the Othello Autonomous Council issued a material blockade decree, Harry the Bloody would only help the pirates under his protection, with no regard for the lives of the miners. Therefore, the hatred of the Bloody Harry has long been brewing among the freedmen, and it is only because of the strength of the pirate gang and the bloody mercenaries that this hatred has not broken out for a long time.

And now, the arrival of Robin and the Caron mercenaries, and the revelation of his true identity, immediately gave the miners a place to rely on. After all, compared to the miserable life now, the life that used to pay off after work is beginning to become as wonderful as heaven. All the miners began to miss the old life of Wen Xin, and the idea of establishing a kingdom ignited by the bloody Harry had long been forgotten by them in the face of an existential crisis.

The desire to resume his former life was increasingly recognized by Gnah's secret instigation, and the staff under the command of Jarvis began to create public opinion in official terms, making the Free Folk realize that Robin and Martina had a monopoly on the rare material market in the entire Northern Star Domain, and greatly exaggerated Robin's influence in the Northern Star Domain's political circles, promising that all policies that were unfavorable to the Free People would be lifted soon.

A new, more wonderful future than ever before began to be built in the minds of the freedmen. While constructing this wonderful future, the freedmen of the Republic led by Griffa began to spread the theory of piracy, guiding the miners' minds and completely venting their hidden hatred for Bloody Harry.

The more than 800,000 freedmen who were originally huddled together were split into two factions under Robin's planning just two days later. And in terms of quantity, miners definitely occupy an overwhelming advantage.

Gradually, conflicts between miners and pirates began to emerge. At this critical time, Robin immediately announced that he could owe fuel and food to the miners, saying that as long as he could prove that he had never participated in any pirate attacks, identify the pirates lurking in the chaotic capital, and sign a long-term trading agreement with Roche Logistics, then he could get fuel and food on credit and start a new life.

After Gerner took the lead and received the fuel promised by Robin, the entire 'City of Chaos' immediately fell into an unprecedented state of boiling. Countless miners swarmed in, scrambling to lead the landing team to the pirate's lair, and even when the marines were too busy, some of the brave miners even attacked the pirate gang themselves, escorting the captured pirates directly to Robin.

Just as the freedmen had feared, the 'City of Chaos' did unfold an unprecedented bloodbath after the defeat of Bloody Harry. However, in this bloodbath, it was the freedmen themselves who played the most important role.

A different meaning allows freedmen to ignore the same rivers of blood. The human heart is more terrible than guns......
