Volume 2 Angry Sea Clash Chapter 0096 The Alliance Strikes Back
Taylor did not hold out much hope, and went to the Oriental merchant ship in the harbor and met the Oriental merchants, some of whom recognized her.
"Ma'am, would you like to return to the Gold Coast, we can provide you with the most comfortable cabins. "The Oriental merchants, given Downing's connections, have a great deal of respect for Taylor.
"No, I have a reluctant request that you fund me, I want to do business. Taylor told the Oriental merchant of his idea, promising a good enough interest.
The Eastern merchant was well thought out. "No problem, ma'am, I don't want interest, but I need a share of your business, and I will provide you with all the materials and costs, and 20% of the profits will go to me. β
Couldn't be better, Taylor was just trying to settle down. "Deal. β
His dim sum shop was soon opened, and the ordinary people of the East had never seen it, because the length of the merchant ships meant that they could not bring the Gold Coast pastries here, which would have expired.
With curiosity, many people bought some, and Taylor, at Billy's suggestion, opened and released discounts, and repeat customers would enjoy more discounts, which made business very hot.
At the same time, the dreadnought fleet is about to return to sea, but Downing has encountered a little trouble, and the paladin has made it clear that he must first find Pagna and Artot, who have fled to the Eastern Continent, otherwise he will never go to sea with the dreadnought.
"We've negotiated, I'll let the Oriental merchants inquire about Pagna and Altot for you, you go to sea with me, and when I find the two of them, I'll let the Oriental merchants catch them and return to the port of Royce, and they'll hand them over to you." β
Downing stood on the deck and watched the paladins who refused to board the deck of the unviolated fleet. "And you know, I'm looking for some evil organizations, those guys blaspheme your gods, you have to go and execute them together, do you want those evil guys to get away with it?"
Cybertron wouldn't trust Downing now. "No, I will execute those evil guys, but before that I have to find Pagna and Artot to prove my innocence, and when I am recognized by the Holy See again, I don't want to carry the notoriety of betrayal, if you want me to go to sea, it's very simple, find Pagner for me first, otherwise I have to stay on the Eastern Continent to find it myself." β
The paladin is becoming less and less deceived, it seems that the good guy can't be a good guy anymore, and he is also an untrustworthy guy in the paladin's heart, so there is no need to continue this scene.
Downing stepped off the deck and stood in front of the paladin, avoiding the mud on the ground. "Well, now that our trust has been broken, I don't think there's any need to continue to hide it from you, I have to tell you that I have received news from Pagna and Artot, and I can guarantee that you will never be able to find them on your own in the vast eastern continent, so you have to listen to me, go to sea with me, complete the mission, and I will give them to you as a reward, how about it." β
Cybertron was furious and roared, "Damn it, you knew their whereabouts from the beginning, you deceived me and threatened me. "The paladin has figured out what is going on, he hates being deceived, and no one likes it.
"That's right, it was a deal from the beginning, about the transaction between you and me, either promise me, or you look for it alone, two ways, I won't force it. "Downing opted for a showdown.
"Despicable fellow, I'm not going to take your threats, I'll try my best to find the damn Pugna and Artot, and we'll see. Cybertron chose to say no and turned away.
A sailor came to inquire. "Mr. Downing, Marshal Madison asked me to tell you that the fleet is about to go to sea. β
"No problem, it went according to the original plan. "Downing underestimated the paladin's stubbornness, his deception allowed the paladin's anger to prevail over reason, in this case, then the badge fragment had to find another way to get it.
The paladin's trust was consumed, and he walked on the port of Royce. "Don't let me see you again, damn it, or I'll beat you up. β
"Cybertron, you have to dissipate, think about it, he has found Pugna and Artot, and has been deceiving you, which means that all the news we have received from him is fake, maybe Pagna and Artot did not come to the Eastern Continent at all, in this case we will waste a lot of energy to do a useless thing, calm down, and agree to his request. Elon Musk exhorted in the arms of the paladin. "Even if Pagna and Altot do go to the East, they will probably be hidden by him, and we will never find them. β
Elon Musk is right, everything is fake, he has been kept in the dark, Cybertron gradually calmed down, looking back at the dreadnought fleet in the distance, he had to return to the Holy See anyway, the notoriety of betrayal is more unacceptable than being deceived.
"Your friendship is broken, but the deal is still there. Elon Musk continues to dissuade paladins.
Cybertron eventually relented, and he turned back to the Dreadnought.
The dreadnought fleet was out to sea, and they had to go to the nearest port, where there was a pirate fleet on the sea.
Thinking about the next battle, Tang Ning saw a figure and said happily: "Welcome back, my good friend, you have changed your mind." β
"No, we're just temporary allies in making deals, no longer friends, remember your promises. Cybertron stood in the doorway of Downing's cabin, his face blank as he spoke.
It didn't matter to Downing, as long as the paladin was willing to get on the deck of the dreadnought fleet and continue to swim the oceans, then it didn't matter, he never considered this devout believer to be his good friend.
"That's right, temporary allies, just like you and Font. "Downing has a clear definition of relationship. "No matter who dies, it will not make the other person feel sad and regretful. β
The paladin quickly left the hatch, and Downing's mind returned to the matter of the Pirate Alliance, which should have received new instructions and would gather to discuss countermeasures regarding the Dreadnought Fleet, and soon Downing conveyed a new order to Madison, the Vengeful Queen and the Silver Dawn to split up.
The sea where the Dreadnought fleet was going was now in a vacuum, because the pirate leader there had heard about what was happening in the Reuss Strait and received a call from the Pirate Alliance, and he had to lead the fleet to the place agreed by the Pirate Alliance to discuss the next plan.
And the place they negotiated was in the Nuren Sea, which was dotted with countless islands, large and small, called the Blonnie Islands, which the pirates controlled and were in a state of anarchy, which made it easier for them to gather, and the islands were so connected that they could take care of each other, almost a paradise.
Aldrich, the de facto controller of the Blonney Islands, was the presiding officer and initiator of the meeting, and he received a letter from Edwardditch.
However, Aldrich disagreed with the contents of the letter, believing that the Dreadnought was the terminator of the Pirate Alliance, and that it was necessary to contain and defeat the other party in order for the Pirate Alliance to survive.
The meeting is located on the main island of the Blogne Islands, Γul GΓΌell, which is Aldrich's lair, and would be a hunting ground for death without a familiar pirate guide.
In the conference room, almost all the members of the Pirate Alliance were present, and they were seated in order of rank within the Pirate Alliance.
"Edward Dic didn't attend the meeting, why?" someone saw all the members of the Pirate League present, but didn't see Edward Dic.
"I'm presiding over this meeting, folks. Aldridge soothed the crowd. "He has written to me, and my opinion is his. β
The noise stopped for a moment.
"I'm sure you've all heard that the Angry Bull and the Lightning Tree Otter have been sunk, and a fleet has appeared on the oceans, the Dreadnought Fleet, to fight against the Pirate Alliance. Aldrich spoke at the heart of the discussion. "We need to work together on how to deal with it. β
"Chiellini and Henry Morgan both failed, it's unbelievable, what kind of fleet is that. Someone asked.
"Relax, it's just a piece of garbage that got two victories by luck, and it's not worth being so cautious, two idiots Chiellini and Henry Morgan, they must have drunk too much wheat wine before the battle to end up like this. β
The pirates had their own opinions.
Aldrich, the presiding officer of the meeting, observed each of the pirate kings, and when the voice in the conference room became so noisy that it was no longer possible to hear everyone's opinions, Aldrich raised his hand to signal. "Be quiet, guys, and listen to me. β
Everyone fell silent.
"Edward TiΔ wanted us to work together and go to sea together to defeat each other, and he was obviously frightened by the sudden appearance of the fleet, so he gave these advices. Aldrich spoke eloquently. "There's no need at all, we just need a pirate king to fight, and who wants to fight on behalf of the Pirate Alliance?"
The pirate kings of the Pirate Alliance were silent, they were not willing to fight for others, even the Pirate Alliance, these pirates only cared about their own interests, and every representative in the Pirate Alliance had their own little calculations.
Aldrich had long guessed that these selfish guys would be silent, but he already had a good way to deal with it. "Whoever wants to fight, I will offer a lot of wealth as compensation, and my status in the Pirate League will be improved. β
Now that the benefits were thrown, the pirates immediately jumped up.
"I'm willing to fight, and I'm going to teach those sissies a hard lesson and prove the strength of the Pirate Alliance. β
"Come on, your Leviathan pirate ship is as old as you, and I doubt it'll be able to fight, so leave this task to me. β
"You're not much better, I've heard that you've sold a lot of your belongings to keep your fleet running, and the down-and-out guy doesn't deserve to represent the Pirate Alliance. β
Aldridge already has a candidate, the current pirate alliance is rotten, there are not many people to be trusted, he is waiting for the other party to speak, but it seems that the other party is not too interested in the conditions he proposed, and the candidate he likes is not involved in the ranks of the battle.
