Chapter 991: Bankz Island
In the Crimson Tiger's captain's quarters, a tense military discussion is going on.
There were few attendees, and of course Leylin, the one in charge, sat at the top, flanked by Isabel and Tifa.
On Isabelle's side, in addition to her, there are Robin Hood, Ronald, and Karen and other pirate leaders.
Next to the mention is the forces that Leylin operates in the Northlands, which even includes devil believers and real devils, even if they have tried their best to hide it, the aura on their bodies still makes the other pirates feel a little uncomfortable and dangerous.
But next to those devil believers, there are a few high-ranking priests with calm faces, these priests are the seeds cultivated by Lei Lin, although they are younger, but a kind of mercy and kindness has been revealed, and they are incompatible with the devils, but they are matched together, showing a strange atmosphere.
The two groups were meeting for the first time, and they couldn't help but look at each other with curious eyes.
These are the elite forces under Lei Lin, and they are also the prototype of his future church and legion, and they are also the capital of this expedition to the Turen Empire, so Lei Lin naturally wants to integrate it well.
After the long self-introduction had passed, Leylin coughed slightly, and immediately silenced the room.
"Isabel, tell me about the situation over there!"
Officially, Leylin has always addressed Isabel by her first name, and even more so after being canonized.
For the eternal gods, a little blood in the world, and everything else is all false, and only profit is eternal!
"This time, the Turen Empire was discovered by a team of pirates under my command. They live on a large island, about the size of two or three Dembreth kingdoms...... And there are always dangerous hurricanes and currents around that big island. Only a few times a year can be successfully navigated, so there is very little communication with the outside world. My subordinates have now figured out the current patterns and made accurate routes......"
For Isabelle's pirates, discerning ocean currents and routes is just the basics.
As pirates who rely on the sky for food, their seafaring ability and ability to locate through the stars are far better than even ordinary merchant navigators and helmsmen, and Isabell, as the largest pirate leader in the open seas, certainly has many talents in this area.
As long as the specific location of the other party is determined, it takes a little time, and there are many experiments that are not afraid of sacrificing human lives, and determining the route is just a very simple matter.
"Hiss ......"
Isabell's statement. Immediately, there was a wave of gasps on Tifa's side.
"The size of two or three Danbrai kingdoms, this kind of area, is almost a small continent, okay?"
"The current inhabitants of the Kingdom of Dambrath are about one million, and the civilization of the natives is going to be discounted, but it is also very amazing, so doesn't it mean that we have to face more than two million natives?"
This simple contrast made even some pirates feel uneasy on their faces.
After all, their total number is less than 10,000 people, but they have to face hundreds of times more enemies! If it weren't for the advantage of ships and sea routes, I am afraid they would have thought about how to escape.
"Silence!" exclaimed Tifa in a deep voice, "do you want to lose face in front of your master?
This kind of stern questioning matches the other party's legendary identity. The scene immediately fell silent.
"Although there are a lot of natives, they are really nothing, and the specific things will be known when you come ashore......
Leylin waved his hand disapprerovingly.
Indeed, even in Raelin's previous life. During the Age of Western Discovery, when those colonists conquered North and South America, they often did not directly defeat any large tribes and native kingdoms with hundreds or even dozens of people. There are even guys who have directly conquered the entire continent with thousands of scum and criminal pirates, and finally become famous heroes (such as Cortez, the Aztec Empire who conquered 15 million people in just 1,000 people in 5 years).
For Leylin. The Native Empire was not much different from the Aztec Empire in the original time and space, both were full of barbarism and ignorance. And behind the times.
With the advancement of science and technology and civilization, the conquest of this seemingly huge but actually bloated backward civilization is essentially no different from slaughtering fat pigs.
No matter how dark the continent countries are now, they are still much more advanced than those natives who don't even have clothes to wear and can only use wooden spears and the like.
And, the most important thing is that there is still a 'god' like Lei Lin behind his back, are you afraid that you won't be able to win?
As a divine being, there was a powerful infectious energy in Lei Lin's body, and after seeing his confident attitude, the uneasiness of others was also calmed down.
After seeing that the situation had turned out like this, Leylin nodded and continued to let Isabel introduce the situation about the Native Empire.
"As is customary on our side, I call this newly discovered large island 'Bankz Island', and it is known that in the center of this large island there is an indigenous empire, which they themselves call ' 'Sakatekaz', which means the eternal sun, occupies most of the plains on the island, with a population of about one and a half million, and around this Sakatekaz Empire, there are other tribes, most of whom submit to the Sakatekaz Empire, and there are also wars between them, adding up to about five or six hundred thousand people......
It can be seen that Isabel attaches great importance to this intelligence work, and can even get the specific information about the Zacatekaz Empire, which is very good.
Although they were mentally prepared, when they heard that they were going to fight more than two million natives, the others still gasped.
"Hey...... What is this? You blind things! Those are not more than two million enemies, but in my opinion, more than two million sturdy slaves! And countless gold and silver, and even fertile land!"
Isabel looked at her subordinates and said with a sneer, her tone full of disdain.
The other pirates remembered the weak natives and reacted.
They were originally engaged in the work of plundering the natives as slaves, of course, they knew that those natives were very docile as long as they were scared with knives, even if you whipped them, they would not resist, and sometimes only one overseer was needed to take care of hundreds of native slaves.
After ignoring the numbers, the pirates finally reacted, and the sense of superiority over the natives came to their minds.
"That's right, those natives are so weak, what's there to be afraid of? And we don't want to start a war with all the natives in one go, we can start with the surrounding tribes, and even subdue a few natives as servant armies, and let them kill themselves......"
Ronald also said in a deep voice: "And once such a large island is conquered, no! even if it is only a tenth! all of you here can obtain untold wealth, and even become nobles with fiefdoms......
The pirates were doing the work of licking blood from the knife edge, and when they heard this great temptation, their breathing couldn't help but become heavy, and their eyes were bloodshot.
"That's right...... As a marquis, my family has the power to canonize vassal nobles...... I'm sure I'll not be stingy when the time comes......"
Leylin also made a promise at this time, which immediately caused the other pirates to cheer.
To be able to go from the most humble pirate to the aristocracy? is enough of the attraction for pirates to work hard for it.
On Tifa's side, the crowd also stirred slightly, after all, even the gods needed to eat and drink, and they needed a safe and comfortable life.
"Occupy the territory of the Empire, provide faith for our lord, this is also an oracle!"
Tifa declared with a solemn face.
"For my lord!"
The other gods prayed devoutly.
After unifying their understanding, everyone left the room in turn, except for Tifa and Isabelle.
"In the face of those natives, even if there are ten times more people, I don't have to worry at all, but...... Has the master ever thought about the possibility that the other party has the protection of the gods?"
Tifa mentioned a question with a solemn face, which was also what Lei Lin had deliberately avoided before.
"Well, I also wanted to remind you that there were faith totems among several native tribes in the open seas before, and some of them were not inferior to legends and demigods......
Isabel also said with a solemn face.
According to their opinion, the number of people has gone up, and no matter how poor those natives are, one or two true gods can still make up for it.
And that's pretty damning.
After all, Lei Lin is only a divine now! The cruelty of the divine war can be deeply experienced in many epics and poems.
"You don't have to worry about this question at all, there are indeed some indigenous beliefs and divine creatures on Bankz Island, but at most they are only demigods, not a single true god...... Moreover, the gods and goddesses on the continent have no interest in the beliefs of the natives......"
Leylin reassured.
When it came to the gods, of course, he was the one who had the most say, and Isabel and Tifa immediately relaxed a lot when they heard this.
True gods are a chasm, but the gap between the divine and the demigods is not so big, as long as the difference is not too much, they still have the courage to fight hard.
Both Isabel and Tifa wisely didn't ask much about how Leylin knew about this, as gods always have their own secrets.
Thunderlin had no intention of sharing anything with them, and when they were all gone, Leylin went straight down to the bottom of the cabin and watched the cowering group of native slaves.
In preparation for the expedition, these natives would act as interpreters and communicators to alleviate the natives' ill-fliché towards their invading colonists. (To be continued.) )
