There are always disputes of interest in the world, and the characters involved in it are the navy, pirates and the comptoirs, most of the time, the comptoirs are the crushed party, although the ocean business has brought them unimaginable benefits, but also brought them a reminder that may take effect at any time!

Unfortunately, the White Wood Trading House was taken as prey by this group of hungry wolves of the Dragon's Tooth Pirates, who had not enjoyed such a delicious dinner for a long time, and the murderous aura that came out of their bodies could be said to be unprecedentedly strong.

Lockhan has been restless lately.

As a fourth-level deacon of the White Wood Trading Company, he has always been the object of admiration, envy, and even jealousy of his peers at a young age.

However, the more power he held in his hands, the more empty his heart became, and the more he felt that the people around him were looking at him with strange colors.

The reason is not difficult to explain, he is not from Fiana, he is actually a person from a small country that has been destroyed.

Although he has a high enough status and power, he can always see the discrimination in the eyes of those around him who envy him, and he does not hide it at all.

Even if these people's status and ability are not as good as their own, just by virtue of their background in a small country, this is enough to be a reason for these people to discriminate, not to mention that although he has status, he is still just a commoner.

The commoners of the kingdom, especially those of the kingdom who were destroyed by the Fiana Empire, cannot become nobles no matter how hard they try, this is the law of Fiana.

Therefore, how could the arrogant Lockhan be willing? Even if he was extremely poor all his life, even if he had a lot of wealth, as long as those nobles with real power gave an order, his efforts could come to naught at any time, how could he be satisfied with this?

So, he tried to get rid of the shackles of this status, but the higher he climbed, the more he gained, the more afraid he became, and every time he saw those nobles, he always felt that their eyes were full of banter, as if they were expecting him to climb to a high position in the merchant, and then use the power in their hands to seize everything he had by legal means.

Just like now, the son of the president of the Baimu Trading Bank has always been very dissatisfied with himself, even if he has the president as the backstage, but the rank in the trading bank can only rely on his own ability to improve step by step, he is now just a first-level deacon, the position is not as good as Rock Khan, and his ability is not as good, only the age is above Rock Khan, and his father often compares him with Rock Khan, which has long made him hold a grudge against Rock Khan, so he put forward a proposal to let Rock Khan open up the trade route of the Winter Country in this operation。

This is an offer, but it is more of a persecution.

As smart as Lockhan, he naturally knows what the son of the cheating father thinks, but if he wants to keep his position, he must accept it, otherwise, with the identity of the president's son, and there are also many people in the business house who look at him unpleasantly, once he does not agree, in the future, troublesome tasks like this will fall on him one after another, and in the end, even if the president likes himself, he can only deal with this matter according to the rules.

Thinking of what the governor's son had said to him before leaving, Lockhan clenched his fists so hard that his fingernails pierced the flesh of his palm.

"Little bastard of the kingdom, no matter how hard you try, you can't compete with me, Baimu Comptoir Golden Libra? Phew! Only I am the best new star in the business world!"

Lockhan had long been surprised by the arrogance of the governor's son, and the main reason why he was angry was because the other party insulted his own perished homeland.

"Shelidan...... My Motherland...... Please bless the people who are not angry......"

Lockhan's mind seemed to fly with his ruined homeland, and although his eyes were looking at the sea in the distance, his eyes had no focus at all.

"Lord Deacon......! Discover the pirate ship!"

Just when Lockhan's mind was drifting away, the watchman's fearful voice pulled him back to reality from the memory of his homeland, he had just come back to his senses, and the lookout who shouted this voice was so frightened that he fell headlong from the lookout on the deck, and fell headfirst down from the lookout platform more than ten meters high.

The sailors who saw this scene were shocked, and the people who could hold the position of lookouts were all psychologically qualified, but now, as a lookout, they were scared like this just because they saw a pirate group, so how strong is this pirate group?

For a while, the people on the ship barely made any movements, and in the end, it was Lockhan who gritted his teeth, took the telescope that had not been broken from the dead lookout, and personally climbed the lookout to survey the front.

Black background, dragon head.

That's the banner of the Dragon's Tooth Pirates!

How did the Dragontooth Pirates end up in the Dream Sea? Didn't they only have five ships? How did they become seven so quickly?

These three thoughts came to his mind in the same second, in no particular order, but he also knew that even if he figured out these things, it would be useless, and his four ironclad ships were not enough to see compared to the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment.

It's over!

These three words popped into his mind in an instant, but he was not as panicked as the lookout, he was thinking about how to withdraw more ships from this group of wolf-like pirates!

Thank you, Governor, for being so kind to me, a civilian who has lost my country......

Thinking of the kind face of the president of the White Wood Trading Bank, Lockhan already had a plan in his heart, and he quickly climbed down from the lookout, and at this time, the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment was only less than a thousand meters away from them! What's more, the other three ships also discovered the pirate ship in front of them, and now each ship was in chaos, as if the end was coming.

"Lord Deacon, let's run away!"

The merchants who had learned from the cabin that the pirates were coming rushed to the deck, and at the sight of their panicked faces, the fear in Lockhan's heart disappeared, and was replaced by a burst of happiness.

Hehe, that's the expression, don't you often discriminate against the commoners of my kingdom on the grounds that you are citizens of Fiana?Where is your prestige now?Where is your superiority?Nobles?Citizens of the Empire?Bah!

Although his heart was happy, he did not forget his duty and began to command in an orderly manner, but even so, the panicked attitude of the sailors and merchants still greatly reduced the effect of his proper countermeasures, and the sailors were okay, and those merchants were the main culprits affecting the efficiency of the operation.

"Lockhan, what kind of commander are you, why did you let ships three and four escape first, why didn't you let those two ships contain the pirates, and did you want us nobles to be buried with you?"

"That's right! What kind of deacon are you! Hurry up and hand over the command!"

"That's right, that's right, don't listen to him! Use those three ships as cannon fodder, let's run for our lives first!"

Looking at these merchants who showed their ugly nature, Locke Khan gritted his teeth in anger, he was for the benefit of the trading house, so he let the two ships at the back of the team turn around and flee, his own ship and another ship to buy time for them, originally these sailors loyal to the White Wood Trading House have already played the flag, and even are ready to fight to the death, these merchants once enjoyed the wealth brought to them by the trading house, but at the critical moment not only did not contribute, but began to disturb the morale of the army.

"Bang!"

Unable to bear it, Lockhan pulled out the musket on his waist, and with one shot, it hit the merchant who was the most arrogant in the head, and the merchant showed an expression of disbelief on his face at the moment of death, as if he didn't expect that this commoner of the kingdom who had always been discriminated against by himself would really dare to shoot himself!

Death is always the best means to deter cowards, Lockhan's face showed a fierce light that can only appear on the face of a pirate, and suddenly, the businessman who was still shouting before instantly lost his voice, looking at Lockhan who was approaching step by step, they were frightened into a cold sweat, and every time Lockhan took a step closer, they followed and took a step back.

"Everyone, it is forbidden to disturb the morale of the army, whoever dares to say a word of nonsense, even if the pirates don't kill you, I will kill you!"
