As soon as Tang Jie heard Babarut's words, he immediately looked like a lion who had met the enemy, his eyes instantly widened, and his black hair seemed to stand upside down: "The private soldiers of the Kelsman family?"

For Tang Jie, the woman beside him and his territory are absolutely inviolable, like a lion king, once someone violates his spouse and invades his territory, he will be furious.

But Tang Jie is not a young and immature rookie, in the process of dealing with Agatha, Angel and others, as well as in the process of dealing with various aristocratic forces, he learned to cultivate his own city, after a moment of anger, Tang Jie immediately calmed down, he took a deep breath, and then deliberately did not look at this picture of thousands of sails, just looked at Babarut carefully, and said: "Okay, you successfully attracted my attention, you can now say, who is standing behind you, what force do you represent?" If you want to gain my friendship, you must first show me your sincerity!"

Babarut smiled and said, "Of course, as you wish, Captain! I would like to express to you my sincerest and friendliest respect on behalf of Lady Margaret!"

Tang Jie was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "Margaret, you can't mean the countess of the Pound Empire, right?"

Babarut said with a smile on his face, and said in a reserved and proud voice: "There are many noble ladies with the title of Earl in this world, but there is only one noble lady who is specifically referred to as a countess!"

Tang Jie laughed: "Are you joking? Isn't the Countess the Countess the spokesperson of the Kelsman family?"

Tang Jie laughed, but his eyes became colder and colder, and he had the meaning of drawing his knife to each other without saying a word, his laughter gradually stopped, and suddenly he roared, and smashed his fist into the ground: "Are you kidding me?"

With a bang, a pit was suddenly smashed out of the flat ground, and Babalut was shocked to the point that his whole body jumped, as if someone had smashed a hammer on his feet, and it was so hot and painful.

Babarut couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, he knew that this pirate could no longer be said to be a murderer, he was a murderer! If this man wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't even blink an eyelid.

The smile on Babarut's face remained unchanged and he said, "Of course not, Captain. You don't have to be hasty with your strength, I already knew all your brilliant achievements before I came, and I, a powerless viscount, stand before you as humble as a tiny ant, and I hope you will listen patiently to what I say next, and it will not be too late to be angry. ”

Tang Jie sneered and said, "My patience is very limited, Your Excellency Babalut, you'd better pick up important things to say, otherwise, hum!"

Babarut didn't dare to make any more detours, bowed a little and said, "Captain, you must remember the Budi disaster a few days ago, right?"

Tang Jie's heart jumped: "I seem to have heard of it, what?"

Babarut raised his head slightly, his gaze quickly swept over Tang Jie's face, and said with a smile: "Since you have heard of it, then you must know what happened before and after?"

Tang Jie glanced at Babarut and said murderously: "To the point, Your Excellency Babarut, for the sake of your life!"

Babalut looked at Tang Jie's gaze, his eyelids jumped, he bent down, and continued: "As I said just now, the greater a person's power, the stronger his enemies. You are so now, and so is the Countess. Within the Kelsmann family, there has always been a part of the population that is hostile to the Countess, and this part of the population has always held opposing opinions about our Countess's policy and attitude towards certain things. ”

The corners of Tang Jie's mouth curled, and he sneered: "Some things, what do they have to do with me?"

Babarut raised his eyes to look at Tang Jie's face, and then said, "For example, when it comes to your attitude, the Countess has always taken a more moderate attitude......

Before he finished saying this, Tang Jie laughed angrily and shouted angrily: "Gentle, stuff spies into my territory, arrange a magic array in my room, and throw a demon breaker over, that's what you said, it's milder?!"

Facing Tang Jie's accountability like a raging storm, Babarut finally couldn't keep his composure anymore, sweating profusely, he gritted his teeth: "Captain, as you just saw, the Countess's enemies want to wipe out you and all your men, at least compared to them, the Countess is indeed much gentler!"

Tang Jie was furious: "Do you mean that I want to nod to this woman and bow down to thank her for her magnanimity?"

In the face of such a tyrant-like attack, Babarut felt that he was almost suffocating and fainting, and he could not imagine how he dared to take on this task in the first place.

Babarut tugged hard at his collar to breathe, and his words became more and more humble: "Of course not, honorable captain. Now, with your might, there is no rival in the Sea of Nilsia and the Sea of Sisidria that can match you head-on. But, as I said before, the stronger you are, the stronger the enemies you will encounter, and when you are strong enough, you will find that the whole world is your enemy!"

The faster Babarut spoke, he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Tang Jie more, he also had a feeling of being a little open-minded, and just said loudly to himself: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend! The pirate king Athos is invincible, he is invincible across the sea, and he is invincible, but what will happen to him? You must know better than anyone else! Why did he end up like this? The reason is very simple, it is because he is too strong, too arrogant, has no foreign aid, and has no friends!"

"Now the Kelsman family is divided into two factions, one faction believes that you are the mastermind of the Budi disaster, and advocates severe suppression and attack on you, while the countess chooses the opposite attitude in order to suppress her enemies, which is why you can successfully lead the army to the west!"

"Moreover, it was you who led the army to the west and achieved the great victory of the Battle of Cameroga, so the political enemies of the Countess have an excuse to attack, and now the Countess's position is in jeopardy, once she loses control of this huge family, then you will find that not only the behemoth of the Kelsman family will blatantly look westward, but you will also find that the entire Pound Empire, such a huge war machine, will follow closely because of the actions of this family!"

Every word of Babarut made Tang Jie very harsh in his ears, but every word he said made Tang Jie more and more calm and clear, he knew: None of what this man said was false, and every word was reasonable!

Babalut didn't see Tang Jie's darkening face, and he quickly finished his last words: "As you just saw, now the Kelsman family has become a wild horse, when the Countess was here, she was still able to control this wild horse, but once she is gone, can you imagine the consequences? Together we can defeat all enemies, once we are enemies of each other, then we will only cheapen our enemies!"

Tang Jie was silent, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, looking majestic and solemn.

To say yes or not to say yes? This is a question worth considering.

It is true that the stronger the strength, the more confident Tang Jie will be to speak, and the more he will be able to speak loudly in front of weighty people.

But the more this is the case, the more Tang Jie feels the pressure and threat of constant pressure from all directions, if the whole world is an invisible net, and he is an animal that is constantly growing, when he is small, the less pressure and restraint he naturally feels, but the bigger he is, the bigger the wire net that binds him, and the greater the strength.

Although it looks wonderful to cooperate with the countess, this is really a matter of seeking skin with the tiger, not to mention whether this is a scam or not, it is a fraud, just assume that all this is true, and cooperate with the countess, in terms of the countess's resourcefulness, Tang Jie feels that there is a feeling of being on the edge of the abyss and walking on thin ice.

Margaret, this woman is recognized all over the world as a top powerhouse who plays with power, and the edification she received in her mother's womb is intrigue and deceit!

If you cooperate with this kind of person, in the end, you will not have a single bone left for fear of being eaten!

But if he doesn't cooperate, once what Babarut said is true, then even if Tang Jie helps Angel pacify Otrentia, then once his old nest Alcatraz is captured, it will be a bamboo basket for nothing, and his foundation will be shaken.

And once the news of the fall of Alcatraz Island reaches Otreencia, and Angel is not able to grasp the overall situation at this time, the morale of the entire Alcatraz fleet will collapse in an instant!

Once this fleet is lost, Angel will also lose the biggest battle for imperial power, and then Queen Camilla can easily and without any scruples to clean up Angel.

Tang Jie's dream of turning the entire east coast of Noah's continent into his back garden will also be completely ruined!

In the meantime, without waiting for the countess to devour him, Tang Jie himself will face the death of the former wolf and the tiger!

Thinking of this, Tang Jie suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, he had never understood those who were ruined in the political struggle: why couldn't they retreat bravely and save their lives?

Now Tang Jie understands that sometimes, when a person climbs to a certain position, whether he retreats or not, he can't help but say it himself.

In order to ensure his safety and life, in order to ensure the safety and life of the people around him, he can only keep wielding the knife in his hand, slashing all the way through, or let the enemy kill himself, or kill all his enemies.

After Babarut on the side finished speaking, his heart was beating and waiting for Tang Jie's decision.

Although in his opinion, it was inevitable to convince this wise and brave pirate with deep scheming, but when he faced Tang Jie, he always had a sense of powerlessness that the situation was out of his control.

After a while, Tang Jie raised his head, stared at Babarut with blazing eyes, and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, but can you tell me how long this kind of friend can be?"

Seeing that Tang Jie had the intention of agreeing, Babalut was immediately overjoyed, straightened his chest, and was about to speak, but saw Tang Jie's hand: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, Your Excellency Babarut, although the Countess sent you to show her trust in you, but this matter is too important, so I have to meet with the Countess in person before I can make a formal decision!"

When Babarut heard this, he immediately lost his voice and said: "Captain, this one comes and goes, ......"

Tang Jie didn't wait for him to finish, he raised his hand again, and stopped him again: "She is a countess, she will have a way! Moreover, don't you want to show me your sincerity? Hmph, now is the time for you to show your sincerity!"

Babarut was about to speak again, but seeing that Tang Jie had already turned his back, he had no choice but to swallow back the words behind him, bowed, and then walked through the corridor and walked out of the mansion under the leadership of his entourage.

After leaving the mansion, he boarded his carriage, hesitated before lowering the curtains, then sighed heavily, and shook his head: "My lady, this is a cunning and icy shark in the sea...... Do you really want to work with someone like that?"
