Chapter 688

Raymond knew that King Fran wanted to use the convenience and efficiency of his brother's domain to find De Niro's whereabouts, but his younger brother had now returned, but he indicated that he would observe the movements of all parties in secret, and as the eldest brother, he naturally agreed to his younger brother's request, which was not too much.

Except for Raymond and Shiva, even Daphne didn't know the news of Sorjes's presence on Rainbow Island, but Laxiline had not made any moves during this time, neither sending his subordinates to publicize it at this time, nor sending people to find De Niro's whereabouts, no one knew her true thoughts, but Raymond felt that this terrible woman seemed to have guessed the news that her brother had returned, otherwise she was still involved in the defense of the empire when the French Empire was attacked, but before the navy of the St. Quentin Empire was completely defeated, Laxiline actually stopped suddenly, judging from the time, this and the younger brother's killing of Augustus is almost a matter of front and back feet.

Laxiline's reaction was confusing to everyone, but in general, it was a good thing that she didn't move, and if she did something at this juncture, it would make the already chaotic situation even more uncontrollable.

As the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, De Niro's side launched a rebellion, and within two days, the king of France because of this incident, his illness accumulated over the years suddenly worsened, and the top priests and doctors in the country tried their best to save his life temporarily, but how long it could be delayed, it is difficult to say, if the king of France is lucky, he may survive, but if he is unlucky, or he will die of illness the next day.

The king was seriously ill, and the regent became Laxiline, which seems to be a signal of some kind of news, because Laxiline's temporary throne was also through the orders read by the king's auxiliaries himself, and these auxiliaries only obeyed the king's orders in their lives, and without the king's instructions, they could not have done this kind of thing privately, that is to say, now that the king of France is seriously ill, and the second prince De Niro has done such a rebellious thing, Laxiline's succession is basically a sure thing.

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. ”

At home, Sojes received this news from Raymond, at this time he could no longer discern who this matter was related to, when he was in Tiandu Mountain, Freya and Loberut had said that Laxiline had discussed some private matters with important people in the two countries, and the Winter Country had the news of Danby's assassination because of this, and now he could not judge who was loyal or traitor.

"So your decision to order the establishment of a branch base in the Chaos Sea seems quite right now. "As a merchant, Lockhan often travels to and from various provinces of the French Empire, so he is also well-informed, and now the French Empire is full of dark currents, no one knows who is doing this, whether it is De Niro or Laxiline, there is a possibility of doing this kind of thing.

"Yes, the tsunami generated by the Fran Empire, even if it is just aftermath, is enough to make our pirate group suffer a lot of impact, if you want to reduce the loss, you have to stay away from this circle of right and wrong. Sojes sighed, the Francois Empire, his hometown, has finally reached such a point.

"Jack, to be honest, do you have any ideas for replacing it?" Lockhan looked at him with a straight face, Sojes's face remained unchanged when he heard it, but the rest of the people were frightened, being a pirate leader is not the same thing as being the king of the empire, just think about the final fate of the strongest emperor back then.

The people present were all close friends of Sojas, so they naturally didn't want him to do such a stupid thing.

"Why do you ask?" Sojers, unlike the rest of his brothers and friends who were all pale with fright, looked at Rock Khan with interest.

"If you are the king, although you are not that material, but Mr. Raymond has the qualifications to become the emperor, with the strength of your Jack and Lord Shiva, plus the influence of the Brustein family in the French Empire and even the whole world, and finally the quality of Mr. Raymond himself, if you really want to replace it, in the end it may not be impossible to do it, no, it should be said that the possibility of success is 100%!"

Although he said such words that were easy to excite people, Klok Khan's tone was very flat, and it was not clear what kind of attitude he had towards such things.

There is nothing wrong with what Lockhan said, the Brustein family is the largest family in the French Empire, and they have a lot of influence in both military and political affairs, don't think that Bagas or Raymond, these two people have chosen to become the commander of the navy, but don't forget, the Brustein family is not only so many people, and a considerable number of the children of the side families also hold a lot of positions in the empire.

It is conceivable that if Raymond or Sojes chooses to rebel at this time, then the entire Brustein family will rise up, and after the matter is completed, even if Raymond and Sojes do not give them any benefits, it is enough, because after that, they have also changed from family members to members of the royal family, and this alone gives them enough reasons to act, not to mention that their descendants will have the opportunity to become kings of the empire in the future!

Even if it's just for this one opportunity, it's enough to make 99.99% of the world's people crazy, think about De Niro is obviously already a prince, only one step away from that position but still chooses to take risks, you can also see how crazy this position is!

"Don't think too much about it, our Dragon Tooth Pirate Regiment is now the world's leading pirate group, enough to be on an equal footing with the Empire's naval commander, if there is one more Imperial Royal Family background behind it, the rest of the Empire will be uneasy. Sojes shook his head, it is not difficult to become an empire, with the family background of the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Group and the accumulation of the Brustein family for so many years, if you work hard step by step, then it is not impossible to unite the forces of the two sides, but if you replace the royal family of an empire, this is not as easy as it seems on paper, first of all, you must first clean up a group of officials and families, which will make the strength of the empire decline, and secondly, you have to kill all the members of the royal family, and the strength will further decline, and finally you need to re-cultivate talents who are only loyal to yourself, which takes a lot of time, and when it is completely mature, maybe there will be turmoil in this empire as well.

"It's good that you don't have that idea. Lockhan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just tried to explore Jace, but he didn't mention the exact situation, so no one knew if what he said on this day was a temptation or if it was true.

"What's the size of the branch base now?" Sojers shifted the conversation to the base itself, and it was better to forget about those words as much as possible.

"It's already able to operate independently, and the three islands are now a little too big for us to be able to, so I was going to build a new one after you came back, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon. "Things related to money are basically Lockhan's job, and although the recent expenses of the entire Dragon Tooth Pirate Regiment are not small, there is no pressure to continue to build a few islands.

"What's the situation?" asked Sorges.

"Because the forces that have the courage to pass through the chaotic sea area are basically impossible to be that kind of miscellaneous fish, so the branch base can also play the role of a transit station, preliminary statistics, if it develops according to the current trend, it can also bring us about 50,000 gold coins every year, if this scale expands again, the benefits will be correspondingly more, as for the armed forces, a single island can not be compared with Rainbow Island, but if the three are added together, without considering the fleet group, the total armed forces of the island itself have exceeded Rainbow Island, and what is lacking there is actually only the shipyard side, the current pageOnly here on Rainbow Island has the ability to build ships independently. ”

The benefit of 50,000 gold coins is like a salt frost falling into the water for the current Dragon Tooth Pirate Group, except for adding a faint and indistinguishable taste, it can't even stir up half a ripple, but although this benefit is not very huge in their eyes now, if it is accumulated over the years, its amount can still make the vast majority of people and even forces in the world blush.

"Why can't the shipyard be built yet, because it can't recruit shipbuilders?" Sojes frowned, if he wants to always maintain the status of the king of pirates in this world, then he must have the ability to continue to develop, only one shipyard is not an advantage for a force of their level, such as the dead Brian's Soul Assassin Pirate Group, they control three shipyards, even if they can't make magic ships, but the battleships produced every year alone, their total displacement is more than twice that of the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Group, even if it is a white-bladed pirate group, A force like the Ash Pirate Group, they also have a shipyard, although the annual displacement cannot be compared with the Dragon Tooth Pirate Group, but their power level is also a level lower than that of the Dragon Tooth Pirate Group, as for the Pirate City, it is not at all comparable to the rest of the pirate forces, in a sense, the Pirate City is equivalent to the eighth largest empire in the world.

"It's okay if it's just to recruit shipbuilders, but Jack you should also know that the shipbuilders who are generally recruited are to be able to learn new techniques and finally become magic costume technicians, with Dirk's level, he is there, so it's not difficult to recruit shipbuilders here on Rainbow Island, but if it's over the Chaos Sea, even if the gold coins are doubled, they still have a grinding attitude. Lockhan was also a little speechless when he talked about this, the shipwright can easily recruit a large number, but the shipbuilder is only one step away from the magic costume technician, and he has a high-spirited attitude wherever he goes, although the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Group also has a great reputation in the world, but they just don't buy it, and as a craftsman, they are not short of money, and finally when recruiting craftsmen on the side of the Fiana Empire, a craftsman has a bad attitude, and he actually named Lucien, who went with him to see the world, to sleep with him, so angry that Grudave chopped off his head with an axe at that time, and finally killed those apprentices completely。

"Since we can't recruit it, then with Dirk's level, it's a big deal that we can cultivate it ourselves, so that we can still know the roots, it's better than those outsiders whose loyalty is still unknown, right?"

It's better to buy or recruit from the outside world than to have oneself, and as Sorgers said, the craftsmen he has trained can still guarantee loyalty, and those from outside are either easy to be lazy or unable to confirm whether they are loyal, and if this is a fine work arranged by a certain force, then they will be in big trouble.

Thinking back to the fiasco of the first battle of Rainbow Island a few years ago, this is the reason why he was mixed in, since he has already suffered a loss, where does Sojes dare to act carelessly?

Unexpectedly, it was okay for Sojes to say this, as soon as he said this, Rock Khan had a speechless and powerless expression, "Do you think I don't want to do this?" The point is that that Dirk kid claims that he doesn't have the spare time to train craftsmen, he said, there is time to train them, it is better for him to continue to do research himself......

Hearing Lockhan say this, Sojes was speechless, although Dirk is not a combatant, but his contribution to the team is indelible, the value of those two magic warships alone is enough for him to enjoy all the privileges in the team, even if he said this irresponsibly, .cm also has to admit that if it weren't for his attitude, his magic skills would not have improved so quickly, not to mention that people have not trained craftsmen, but the value generated by cultivating craftsmen is obviously greater than the latter compared to allowing him to improve his magic skill level.

Although Dirk has an almost fanatical pursuit of magic, he is not completely disregarding the interests of the team, but he has also trained some people in the team, but it took several years to train them to become craftsmen, and this can only be regarded as the one with a lower level among the craftsmen, this is not that Dirk does not have to guide, nor is he not enough, but because this kind of thing also needs to look at talent, at least half of the pirates are forced by life to be desperate to go to sea, and the rest are also those who have been idle, if these two types of people really have a skill, how can it be so easy to reach that point of desperation?

Therefore, there are too few pirates who really have this talent, and even if they do, their quality is not very high, and basically this group of guys has no special skills except for fighting, killing and arson, and playing money and gambling.

"How many qualified craftsmen are there now?" Sojes can be regarded as giving up the training plan for craftsmen, anyway, their current strength is not bad, and it can even be said that they are very strong, even if they can't keep up in production for a while, it's not bad. The pirate flag that never falls
