On the edge of a promontory, Colonel Demps and Bart stood opposite each other. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The rolling waves were close to them, crashing against the nearby rocks, and the occasional splash was scattered on the two of them.

Farther away, their respective guards stood nervously apart.

On the sea, several warships were cruising back and forth.

Bart patted his sleeve casually, his movements were so graceful that Demps sometimes even thought that it was a nobleman and not a pirate in front of him.

"Honorable Colonel, your injuries are serious, you shouldn't stay in a place like this for long!"

"Tell me your purpose, I suppose you dirty pirates will have a purpose for everything!" Colonel Demps's attitude did not change at the smile of the other man.

He was now talking to the pirate leader, and it was already making him uncomfortable.

The etiquette of the nobility?For these vicious pirates, Temples never paid attention to this.

Bart didn't like to be called a pirate, and his eyes flashed, "No one is born a pirate, and no one wants to do such a thing!"

"But you have made a choice, and your actions are spurned by everyone on the mainland!" said Colonel Demps bluntly.

Although there was still a hint of a smile on Bart's face, the serious chill was already obvious, "What do you know, you are just a dog raised by those nobles in the south, and your honor is not bullshit in my eyes!"

"You—" Demps heard this, anger welling up on his face, he scolded loudly, but he didn't want to touch the wound, and the next words were unspoken because his breath was suddenly disturbed by the sharp pain.

Seeing this, Bart on the other side frowned, in fact, like Demps, he was also trying his best to restrain his emotions, because his father died in the raid launched by Colonel Demps a few years ago.

"Stomp!"

A clear sound of footsteps suddenly sounded.

But I saw that Kelly and the others, who had already discovered that something was wrong on the side, hurriedly rushed up, and a group of pirates on the other side saw this and also rushed towards their own leader.

But both sides were restrained, and none of them showed their weapons.

"Go back!!"

The two commanders drank at the same time to stop their subordinates.

The people who were running subconsciously stopped, and then slowly returned to the same place.

Looking at the reluctant eyes of their subordinates, the two fell silent at the same time.

The hatred between them is obviously not so easy to dissolve.

"I'm sorry Colonel, I didn't mean to offend you!" Bart shrugged, trying to make the conversation as easy as possible, "You should be a nobleman of more integrity. ”

There was a hint of sadness on Bart's face, as if he was caught in a memory, "I didn't have a choice, and they didn't have a choice..."

He said as he pointed to his nearby subordinates.

"I don't know if you've heard of 'Sea Pioneers'?" Bart didn't pick up on the topic as he suddenly asked Demps across the street.

"Sea Pioneer?" Colonel Demps was stunned, he didn't understand why the notorious pirate had suddenly brought it up, but he patiently followed his topic.

So, he thought for a moment, and then said: "I have heard some, about a few hundred years ago, the discovery of the Hoko Islands, and the wealth and status it brought to the Ella family, many great nobles have fantasies! For this reason, the human kingdom has mobilized a large number of manpower and material resources to open up a second Hoko Island!"

Demps could imagine the crowd of adventurers going to sea, and when he learned about this history, he even imagined that he was one of those adventurers.

Bart smiled.

His smile was a little weird, terrifying with sadness, sadness with a slight mockery.

"Do you really believe that those great nobles are willing to spend countless amounts of money to make an unknown gamble?" asked Bart, "You know, no one knows if there is a possibility of recovering their capital!"

Hearing Bart say this, Colonel Demps was slightly startled, but did not speak.

"Naturally, they don't want to!"

Bart asked himself.

"So, they instigated the king to issue the so-called 'sea reclamation order'!"

"That's a good idea!"

Bart smiled silently as he spoke: "This royal decree can be regarded as extremely tempting, and the decree even stipulates that as long as someone discovers a new island, after reporting to the Middle Kingdom for registration, the island will automatically become the family's territory, and if it is not a noble, it will be canonized directly by the Central King as a noble!"

"This is indeed tempting!" Colonel Demps nodded unconsciously.

'Hehe' smiled, and Bart continued: "With just such a decree, the great nobles have obtained countless pioneering teams, and they don't even need to invest a single copper coin..."

"However, the low-level nobles and merchants are not stupid, and they soon found out that this decree was a conspiracy at all, so they began to resist!"

"And this 'Pioneer Order' was also abandoned by what they called the rebels, because those so-called rebels were entrenched in this archipelago, and they quickly assembled a powerful naval force! These people, at their strongest, even blocked the southern seas of the entire continent!"

"Over the years, they've even built their own cities and trade!"

The archipelago in Barth's mouth should be the current Camila Islands.

"Trade?" Demps apparently unconsciously fell into Bart's story.

"Yes, trade, in fact, we were the first to trade with the earth, because of the blockade of the human kingdom at that time, we could only look for other trade objects, goblins were the first to be discovered by us, and later we even traded with orcs!"

"Hmm!" Colonel Demps frowned.

"This archipelago is rich in resources, even the purple gold mine! In the deep sea area nearby, there is also a silver vein that rivals the purple gold mine, but it is extremely difficult to mine!"

Bart told Demps the secrets of the archipelago without reservation.

Because, these circumstances, in the upper echelons of the human kingdom, are not secret at all.

"This went on for nearly a hundred years, and then, a traitor among us took refuge in the De Looneys! Our navy was wiped out unsuspectingly, they razed our city to the ground, and they even used the power of magic to tear the main island apart!"

There was a sudden look of madness on Bart's face, and it took him a long time to calm down, and then he continued: "In the end, we had to hide in the jungle! ”

Demps nodded, and the nobles had opened up the route to the southern seas, and they had made contact with the goblins, and they had several important routes now.

On the other hand, after the destruction of their homeland, the group of people, perhaps in revenge or survival, began to plunder the cargo ships on these routes and became the current pirates.

"There's no way to verify what you're saying, and I'm entitled to a story!" said Colonel Demps after a long silence.

Bart smiled indifferently.

Then Demps said, "I will now recruit you, and you may state your terms!"

"You can't meet my conditions!" Bart smiled slightly, he stopped Demps who was about to speak again, "I'll help you, conditions, it's not too late to talk when you see someone who can call the shots!"
