Without too much politeness, both of them were well-versed people, and after a series of orders, the five ships began to move towards the outer "turtle speed", and at the same time, the flotilla that was originally in an array also began to separate, and the ship that separated also exchanged fire with the remaining four ships.

Although the passage of the strait is relatively long, the pirate side is vertically above the merchant group, and as a result, their actions are also seen by the merchant group, who see it as nothing more than a group of pirate groups looting an unlucky merchant ship.

"Mr. Rust, it seems that a drama is being staged in front of you that you can't usually enjoy!"

In the merchant group, on a pure white magic weapon ship, two middle-aged men with elegant appearances were holding goblets and watching the performance of the Ghost Flame Pirate Group with a high-ranking posture.

As businessmen from the richest countries, they have always thought that they are superior to others, and people from outside countries seem to them to be just a bunch of monkeys playing tricks.

Rust, the other merchant, pushed his glasses, seemingly unconcerned, but all his attention was on the Ghostflame Pirates, "Oh, dear Mr. Forde, you have a point, but I don't like the ending of this play!"

Forde could certainly guess what he meant, but he still deliberately shouted stupidly, "What? Does Mr. Rust have a better idea?"

The voice of this sentence was very loud, attracting the attention of some nearby merchants, and soon, a somewhat short and fat guy staggered to the side of the two of them, with a slight flattery on his face, "Two gentlemen, I have never seen this battle between pirates and pirates, such a wonderful show, why doesn't Mr. Rust seem to like it very much? Could it be that you don't like killing, sir?" You are so kind that you can have compassion for those lowly pirates. ”

Rust: "......"

Forder: "......"

Although the two of them did not speak, a thought popped up in their hearts at the same time: Is this person sick?

Humpty Dumpty's words are indeed a little confusing, it looks like he is praising Rust's kindness, but this sentence gives people the feeling that he is praising and disparagement, and when he says it from his mouth, it seems to be satirizing Rust, but I don't know if he is satirizing his hypocrisy or other aspects.

As the upper person in this business group, Rust is naturally surrounded by flatterers, seeing that his face is a little unhappy, a dogleg flashed next to him to help play the round: "Haha! Mr. Rust is naturally a benevolent and good person, but these pirates are obviously willing to fall, such people are naturally not worthy of Mr. Rust's tolerance, I think, Mr. Rust is afraid that he wants to uphold the wishes of the Holy Lord and eliminate this group of pirates who are the cause of trouble!"

Count on you kid who can speak!" Rust glanced at him with satisfaction, then coughed lightly twice, and said in a deep voice with the same momentum as he used to lecture his subordinates: "Yes! This group of pirates has always done evil, although no one in my Holy Constantin Empire dares to attack under the majesty of the Holy Lord's divine light, but since we have seen these thugs, then we can't sit idly by!"

When he said this, Rust's face was full of "the glory of justice" Although the people around him applauded, but in their hearts they had already vomited, what kind of person is Rust, who of them does not know? It was unwise to offend Rust just because of such a thing, so his shamelessness was selectively ignored, and only Forde, who reacted a little faster, said another sentence in the crowd, and his words really made the atmosphere reach a fever pitch.

"Everyone, although the pirates are not benevolent, but their wealth is also in our eyes, it is rare that the Holy Lord can give us this opportunity to punish the evil and promote the good, anyway, the voyage for almost two months is too boring, and there is nothing to do, why don't we try to see whose merchant group defeats more pirates, of course, the spoils are also owned by the people who robbed them, do you have any opinions?"

After going around in such a big circle, they finally found a reasonable excuse to say that black eats black is so lofty, but after Forder finished speaking, Rust added in a demagogic tone: "In this pirate group, there are magic ships, whoever has the ability to grab them, this magic ship is theirs!"

Hearing this, every businessman was a little excited, a magic ship, even if it was only the lowest C-class, was worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and this kind of thing sometimes even if it was rich, it may not be able to buy, it can be said that this is a symbol of status, take Nathan of the War Scorpion Pirate Group as an example, he almost went bankrupt before he became a gold medal pirate to buy the Rattlesnake, this is still the Fiana Empire to win him over to be driven by the empire as a condition to let him have the qualification to buy the magic ship, otherwise, his identity is still not enough for the official to sell the magic ship to him at a low price。

Although these merchants are already rich in the eyes of outsiders, but in St. Quentin, Rust and Forder, the highest status among them, are at most a middle class, and the rest are still in the middle and lower reaches, don't look at the scale of these fifty or so ships, but these are basically the entire armed forces of these merchant families, except for the families of Rust and Forder, the rest of them are not qualified to buy magic ships, they want to get magic ships There are three ways: one is to work hard to improve their status, the second is to buy them from others at a high price, and the third is to loot, and this is the most labor-saving way to some extent。

Every merchant knows that even if he succeeds in snatching the magic ship, he will probably be forced to hand it over by Rust and Forde in various ways, but they are not the kind of people who are the most upper-class, even if they are persecuted, they will be forced to buy and sell at most, if they don't agree, they will be punished, but if they agree, they will not only get a sum of money, but also gain a favor.

This is beneficial and harmless for businessmen!

Therefore, every merchant began to give orders for the fleet he led, and everyone was thinking in their hearts, even if they couldn't get it, they couldn't let others get it, their idea was very easy to guess, it was nothing more than that the magic ship they had the opportunity to get was snatched by others, then the person who snatched him would have a qualitative improvement in strength, for anyone, financial resources and ship capacity are the standard for measuring strength, the stronger the strength, the faster the development, this is the eternal truth.

The world is balanced, and some people have accelerated their development speed due to their strength, and naturally some people will be compressed by their development space because of their strength, so for the merchants on this ship, these people are both allies and opponents!

You don't necessarily need to be honest with your allies, but you must go all out and even do whatever it takes to treat your opponents!

This is the way for profiteers to survive!
