Verse 38: Imperial interests and our interests
"The risk is great, and the benefits are not small. The boy looked hesitant.
If there is a golden chin and a sea snake woman, they have an advantage in terms of the strong. If you take advantage of intelligence and other advantages, take the initiative to raid, and the probability of taking down the Silver Hook Pirate Group is not low.
Of course, when estimating the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, the boy did not forget the Deep Sea Monster Fish.
This is his hole card, very powerful!
"What do you think?" the knight boy thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to the others. One of the most valuable things about him as a leader is that he is very good at listening to others.
Before the beard and mane could speak, the little bird couldn't wait to say, "Don't!"
"Silver hooks aren't scary. ”
"It's his brother Golden Hook that's scary. ”
"The two of them are brothers, and together they are called brothers of gold and silver. ”
"They occupy Treasure Island, and the elder brother Golden Hook guards the island all the year round, organizing a large number of slaves to mine the gold and silver mines on the island. The younger brother, Silver Hook, led the pirates to plunder everywhere. ”
"It is precisely because of the support of gold and silver mines that they are strong. It has no less than 50 pirate ships and is very well equipped. ”
"They also own a silver-class magic energy ship!"
The receptionist smiled: "Don't worry about the golden hook." ”
"According to the secret report of the Empire, a few years ago, he used to buy potions on the black market in an attempt to break through the gold level and become a sanctuary. ”
"But apparently, he didn't succeed. Over the years, he has been cowering on Treasure Island, and has only appeared in public a handful of times. ”
"According to the speculation of Imperial scholars: this time, Silver Hook robbed the munitions ship, most likely to kidnap a bishop of the Life Sect on board. Perhaps it was to persecute the bishop and heal his brother's wounds. ”
"Thankfully, the bishop did not board the munitions ship as planned due to some accidents. ”
The dragon boy looked moved again, but he still didn't make a decision: "We need to discuss it." ”
"Please. The receptionist smiled, "I'm just suggesting that the Imperial side is not involved in your actions, and everything is up to you, Captain Dragonsuit." ”
He bites the word "himself" very clearly, and his tone is heavier.
The dragon man looked embarrassed: "Is there any other situation that you can talk about? For example, how large was the military ship that was robbed at that time? What is the physical condition of the golden hook?"
The receptionist shook his head: "I'm sorry, Captain Longfu." I've said enough, and the details will only be available until you take the mission. Thank you for your understanding. ”
"Of course, of course. It's me who is abrupt. The dragon boy hurriedly apologized, "Let's go back and have a good discussion." ”
After the boy finished speaking, he stood up.
The receptionist said a few words, but the Righteous Pirates came and went in a hurry, not wasting time on the tea and pastries prepared in the reception room.
On the way back, both Bird and Leaky frowned and worried.
Back in the cabin, the dragon boy threw out the radio box, limiting the sound of conversation to the captain's room.
"What do you think?" the boy asked with a smile.
"No, Captain. The bird and the leak said in unison.
The dragon boy was silent and looked at the others.
Seeing the gray young man looking at him, he said, "Even if the empire's intelligence is not wrong, and the golden hook is indeed injured, he is still gold-level. The Empire also did not attack Treasure Island with much fanfare. If we attack the Silver Hook gang, then we will offend two gold-level powerhouses at the same time. It's not wise. ”
The gray words made the little bird and the flute leak breathe a sigh of relief, and they all looked at the former captain of the nezumi with appreciative eyes.
Mane reached out and pulled a chart from the pen holder on his desk. He laid the chart on the table, and moved his index finger to the location of Treasure Island.
"You see, the location of Treasure Island is delicate. ”
"It's almost right in the middle of the Shengming Continent and the Wilderness Continent. ”
"On top of it is the coconut wine route, and below it is the amber route. In the future, when the Empire launches an onslaught on the Wilderness Continent, the transportation route will definitely include these two major shipping lanes. ”
"Although there are gold and silver mines on Treasure Island, after so many years of mining, the output has already fallen to a very meager level. ”
"From an imperial point of view, Treasure Island itself is far more important than a gold mine, a silver mine, or a gold and silver brother!"
Mane Ge talked eloquently.
Dressed in gray, the birds, and the flute leak cast their eyes with sincere admiration.
They suddenly discovered that the orc in front of them was not only superb in personal strength, but also had excellent tactical and strategic vision.
"How did Captain Longfu do it, and let such an excellent talent be willing to live under him?"
"Hehehe. "Maybe we can guess that." ”
"The Empire has long wanted to take control of Treasure Island. This time the action is finally getting started. They deliberately sent the quartermaster ship to the eyes of the Silver Hook Pirates, and released the news that there was a bishop of the Living Sect on board, triggering the plundering of the Silver Hook Pirates. ”
"The Empire therefore has a name, first using the secret spy mission, calling on the pirates to attack the Silver Hook gang. "Yoyo Book League
"If things go well, there will be a situation where many pirates are besieging Treasure Island. ”
"If the pirates succeed in attacking the island, the Empire will secretly take control of Treasure Island without wasting a single soldier. At the same time, it has not left a moral flaw, nor has it caused a huge movement that will make the pirates of the seven seas wary or disgusted. ”
"But at the same time, the empire has shown its strength. On the one hand, let the pirates besieging Treasure Island create a gap with other pirates, and put them on the chariots of the Empire. On the other hand, it also let other pirates know that so many pirates have defected to the empire, so that the implementation of the next secret spy mission will be smoother. ”
Little Bird and Flute Leak were stunned.
Gray is thoughtful.
Cang Xu's eyes flickered, and he continued: "If you make a bold guess, perhaps, there is something wrong with the potion that Golden Hook bought on the black market in the first place. ”
"Rumors have spread from the Imperial side that there is a bishop of the Living Sect on board the quartermaster's ship. It's a huge bait. The Jin Yin brothers have a deep affection, and the elder brother Jin Hook has been injured for many years, and the treatment has had little effect. The bishop of the Sect of Life is one of the remaining hopes. ”
"Recently, because of the appearance of the Pirate Throne, the activities of pirates in the seven seas have become more and more rampant. However, no matter what, no pirates have robbed the Shengming Empire's military ships. ”
But Silver Hook did just that. ”
"If this is a false intelligence deliberately released by the Empire, then the Empire's spy department has clearly achieved a perfect spy. The Golden Hook's injuries should be quite severe. ”
The little bird and the flute couldn't help but open their mouths wide when they heard it, and there was a feeling that the window was open and they could see a new world.
Cangsu smiled humbly: "The above is just my guess. It was also based on the information leaked by the receptionist.,Random guessing.。 ”
"It's thanks to the captain. ”
"Without the captain to whet the receptionist's appetite, he wouldn't have so many flaws. ”
The dragon boy smiled slightly.
That's true.
The receptionist thought that the dragon man was interested in this task, but in fact, it was just the dragon man who made him think so.
When Little Bird and Flute Leak heard this, their eyes widened, and they once again saw a large number of dragon men in front of them.
They finally heard that the three core members of the Righteous Pirates were all acting. Stimulate the receptionist and get him to take the initiative to leak more information.
It's ridiculous that they still think that the dragon boy gang has just gone to sea and doesn't know the actual situation of the gold and silver brothers.
In fact, in the past ten days of sailing, the knight boy, Mango and others have all made up the information of various pirates in the Seven Seas.
"Insidious!" the little bird looked at the smiling dragon boy and a word came to his mind.
"Cunning!" Di Leak scolded in his heart, he was worried in vain.
Then the bird complimented, "I see." Captain, you are really wise and powerful!"
"I took it. Flute Leak gave a thumbs up to the dragon man and the other three.
They're on the ship of the Righteous Pirates.
The magic contract has been redeemed, and the next step is for the dragon boy to sign the contract with the two of them.
However, after this incident, both Leaky and Little Bird have more confidence in their new collective.
The dragon boy pointed to the chart, "Our next goal is here." ”
"Magnet Islands?" the bird was surprised.
"We have the Greedy God Bones. This time, he also purchased a number of treasure maps from the Empire, and obtained information on many treasures. Digging up the treasure can also gain the favor of the pirate divinity, so as to achieve the purpose of interfering with the selection of the pirate king on the part of the empire. The same is contributing. The dragon boy said.
Speaking of which, the name on the holy monument in ashes has fallen out of the top five.
In order to compete for divine favor, piracy became more frequent and rampant.
Perhaps the property they robbed could not be compared to the artifact green jade golden coffin in terms of value. But the act of burning, killing and looting itself is more in line with the divinity of pirates, and it is not surprising that it has gained more favor.
Finally, the dragon boy said to the bird, the gray and the flute, "Although we accept the secret spy mission of the Empire, we are still free. There is a distinction between the interests of the empire and ours. Just like this Silver Hook crusade, there is no need to act as a pawn for the Empire. ”
Flute Leak, Little Bird and others are all bright-eyed.
The words of the dragon man boy were very much to their liking. After this incident, they thought that they knew more about the captain in front of them.
"Well, according to the plan, we will set sail the day after tomorrow. ”
"During this time, you can move around and relax. ”
The boy waved his hand, and everyone withdrew from the captain's room.
The door closed shut, blocking the dragonman boy's view, but the sound of a bird and a flute still talking.
"What's the best place in Crescent Harbor where we can have fun?"
"I don't know, it's a small port, it's not remarkable. I'm also here for the first time. ”
"There is a tavern in town called the Mermaid Tavern. Mane said.
"Oh, then we'll go there in the evening. The bird's and flute's laughter were tinged with a little excitement.
