The battle ended from the beginning.

With the crushing of the ranks, it is adding the advantages of sneak attack and darkness.

These elite chamber guards of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce did not last long at all, and under the attack of Naga warriors, shallow sea fishmen, pure water sea elves and many other troops, they fell one by one like wheat.

When the battle damage rate reached 50%, the whole team collapsed instantly, and the rest dropped their weapons and fell to their knees in surrender, fear completely taking over their minds.

It was clear that there were only a hundred second-order enemies, but now they saw all third-order enemies, and their combat power was extremely terrifying, and they didn't have much ability to resist at all.

In the face of bloody death and carnage, the guards surrendered with great humor.

Looking at the group of defeated soldiers in front of him whose will had collapsed, Ji Chen did not kill them all.

Just order the pirates who came later, tie them up one by one, and deal with them later.

It's important to get to the bottom of this.

In addition to ambushing in the jungle, Ji Chen also let a small group of fishmen, fishmen, and pirates go to a few ships parked on the sea, taking advantage of the emptiness of the defense to secretly seize the boats and cut off the enemy's escape route.

Willow, who had escaped in the jungle, was soon captured by his own troops who had captured the ship and escorted back.

When I saw Willow again, he had already been tied into a dumpling, and his face was depressed.

When he saw Ji Chen, he became a little frightened.

But then, as if he remembered something, his face suddenly calmed down, and he said sharply: "I advise you to loosen my ties and send me away safely, otherwise if I die here, Lord Ghassani and the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce will not let you go, and death will hang over you!" ”

Ji Chen looked at him like a fool, wondering if there was something wrong with this person.

It's so arrogant when it's dying.

Seeing that Ji Chen didn't speak, Wei Luo thought that success had scared him, so he said in a more domineering tone: "You think that if you solve the two ship chamber guards, you think you are amazing?"

I tell you, the strength of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce is far beyond your imagination, and even Lord Ghassani can pull up to ten ships like this, and even a more elite army and fleet. ”

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and extracted a key word, "You said Gasani?" ”

Like a dog hearing someone mention its master, Willow suddenly became proud and barked, "That's right, my master is Lord Gasani, and I am his most capable subordinate.

If you know each other, let me go, and give this archipelago obediently, then Lord Gasani may even give you a way out... Ahhhh ”

Before she finished speaking, Anina on the side couldn't bear to rush up, her little fists fell like raindrops, and she beat Willow wildly, "I've put up with you for a long time, and I dare to talk like this when I'm dying, I don't dare to be so arrogant."

After the beating, Anina retreated with a refreshed face, leaving only Willow, who was no longer human.

She didn't make a move in the previous battle, and her hands were itchy for a long time, so she just used this fool to vent her emotions.

"Suffocation, suffocation, I'm rubbing..."Willow curled up on the ground shivering, his face was blue and his eyes were swollen, his body was full of bruises, several teeth had been knocked out, and his speech had begun to leak.

But this is still the result of Anina's remaining hands, otherwise with the strength of a whale, he would not have been beaten into a ball of meat sauce? In a physical sense.

Seeing that this guy finally quieted down, Ji Chen squatted down in front of him, sighed and said, "If you cooperate from the beginning, then you won't have to suffer like this, why bother." ”

"Whatever I ask next, you answer, you know? It's better that I can only let her continue to take out anger on you. ”

Hearing this, Willow's head immediately lit up as a woodpecker, and he looked at Anina, who was rubbing his fists in extreme fear, and wanted to cry without tears.

Who would have thought that such a little girl, with such a terrifying power in her seemingly soft body, almost didn't beat him to death.

It can be said that instead of being beaten like this, he would rather be stabbed to death directly.

"What kind of person is Ghassani, you just said? What role did you play in this operation? ”

"Lord Ghassani is a member of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce and the main planner of this operation."

"A member of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce? Is it the same as Raymond's status in the Chamber of Commerce? ”

"Nominally, it's the same, but Lord Gasani has been a member of the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, and Raymond has only joined in the past two years, and his strength is slightly inferior among the many members."

Ji Chen nodded, and asked instead: "You said that Ghassani was the main planner of this operation, which means that there are other people in the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce who are directly or indirectly involved?" ”

Willow hesitated for a moment, but when he saw a wicked smile on the corner of Anina's mouth, he was immediately frightened and hurriedly said: "That's right, the use of chamber of commerce guards requires the consent of many members, so basically most of the members agreed,

However, this proposal was made by Master Gasani, and the others gave some support, and I am just a small subordinate under him, acting according to orders, so if you want revenge, go straight to them. ”

As he spoke, he showed a flattering and flattering expression, but because of his willingness to have a blue nose and swollen face, this expression seemed very funny and funny.

Alice and Anina both laughed.

Seeing this, the surrounding pirates cast disdainful glances.

Before, they saw that Willow's words and deeds were so arrogant, and they didn't leave the so-called Lord Ghassani, and they thought that they were some kind of righteous subordinates.

I didn't expect it to be such a greedy person who is afraid of death and sells his lord for glory.

This kind of people, they don't bother to be in the company of!

"Raymond is one of them?"

Willow's face was stunned, "No, he's the only one who is against it, and he's still locked up on the ship." ”

Ji Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

At this time, some of the pirates who had been searching the ship outside returned, and reported: "My lord, there is a fat man named Raymond who is being held in the cabin of the ship, saying that he knows you and wants to come to see you. ”

Good guy, this fat man is so fatal.

Ghassani and the others did not choose to kill him directly, but locked him in the cabin and brought him here.

This fat man may have some value.

Coming back to his senses, Ji Chen said in a deep voice.

"Take him to the territory!"

"Yes!" Several pirates left in a hurry.

He looked at Willow, who was kneeling on the ground, "Tell me everything you know about this matter, or you will know the consequences." ”

Seeing Ji Chen's cold gaze, Willow shuddered and nodded hurriedly.

...

Lord's Palace.

When Raymond, who was tied up with five flowers, was brought in by the Naga warrior by the collar, and when he saw Ji Chen, his fleshy face was full of excitement,

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, it's really good that you're okay, I thought you... Oops, my ass! ”

He was thrown directly to the ground by the Naga warrior, his ass hit the ground heavily, and he tried to struggle to get up, but because his hands and feet were tied, he wriggled on the ground like a meat worm.

Ji Chen sighed and asked someone to help him loosen his ties, "I already know the ins and outs of the whole thing from that person named Willow, and I can't blame you for this matter." ”

Raymond, who was let go, stood up, and originally wanted to complain that the movements of these Naga warriors were too rude, but when he heard Ji Chen's words, his face suddenly felt ashamed.

"I have a part of the responsibility for this, if I had been more cautious at that time, and didn't say anything about the situation in the stormy sea, maybe this kind of thing would not have happened.

Fortunately, Your Excellency, your strength is amazing, and you have defeated those Chamber of Commerce guards, otherwise I would have really made a big mistake. ”

Raymond lowered his posture and voluntarily admitted his faults and responsibilities.

Then he was a little angry and emotional: "I didn't expect that the other members, especially the despicable villain Ghassani, would choose to kidnap me directly and prevent me from reporting to you, so as to make their plans go smoothly.

They who call themselves businessmen never understand that there are things they can't touch! ”

Ji Chen nodded, didn't say much, just silently wrote down the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce in a small notebook.

If you have the chance, you must take revenge on them and let them know who they can't mess with.

"The matter has been settled, so what is your way from here? Is it to go back to them for revenge? ”

Raymond's face was bitter, "Since they chose to kidnap me, it means that there is a tear between me and them, and it is estimated that my assets should have been almost swallowed up by them.

Except for a dozen or so surviving cronies, I have nothing left, and the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce has a lot of power in the Western Continent, and it is estimated that I will not be able to go back..."

Hearing this, Ji Chen's heart moved, "Since you have nowhere to go, why don't you work for me?" ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, "Work for Your Excellency?" ”

"That's right, as long as you choose to be loyal to me, then I will appoint you to become the chief trade officer of the crown of the sea, and help me take care of the import and export of goods and resources in the territory?"

"As long as you are loyal enough, then I can delegate power to you, except for some troops and resources, the rest of the resources in the territory can be open to you, and it is not impossible to personally help you take revenge."

Raymond's face was deep in thought, as a good businessman, all decisions must be well thought out.

But soon he shook his head bitterly, for there seemed to be no way back for him to go.

Relying on himself and a dozen or so cronies, he doesn't know when and how long it will take to return to the way it was before.

And most of his business and contacts are in the Western Continent, and the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce must have done a lot of obstruction and assassination against him outside of this, and it is difficult for him to turn over with his own strength.

But if you have the support of His Excellency Ji Chen, then maybe you can take revenge this time.

"Are all these things true?"

Ji Chen's tone was decisive: "Of course, it is difficult to chase after a horse, and I, Ji Someone, have always been good at talking." ”

Hearing this, Raymond also threw away the last trace of hesitation and knelt down on one knee, "My lord, I am willing to be loyal to you for you to drive." ”

"Ding~ Raymond is loyal to you."

His panel information came to mind.

【Raymond】

[Race]: Human

[Level]: 10

[Skill]: Trade Smell (Blue Skill, with a very keen business sense, find any opportunity to make money)

Persuasion (blue skill, able to speak well, able to persuade others with clever language)

Lucky (blue skill, sometimes able to survive the death)

[Note]: The consul of the Chamber of Commerce, who has good business talents, has a hatred for the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce

Boy.

The last time I saw it, the level of the Lucky skill was only white, but now it's blue.

Could this be why Raymond has survived every time?

After a sigh, Ji Chen said.

"You go and rest first, and then I'll tell you the work."

Raymond nodded, feeling tired at such a late hour.

The next day at noon.

Last night's results and gains were counted.

A total of 400 chamber guards came to attack, about half of them were killed last night, and the rest were held in captivity.

In addition to these guards, there were more than two hundred sailors, craftsmen, etc., who remained on several ships.

After Willow was asked to identify a few stubborn and hostile individuals, the remaining hundred and fifty people were absorbed into the crown of the ocean to replenish the population of the realm.

The fifty or so people who were identified and the two hundred or so chamber of commerce guards were all sent to various resource points to serve as coolies.

Ji Chen thought that he was already merciful, and did not kill them, allowing them to mine to atone for their sins.

Until all their sins have been atoned for, they can be allowed to go back.

Although it is up to him to atone for his sins and how much to redeem.

The four ships sent by the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce, two of which were three-masted warships, were loaded with artillery and crossbows, but they did not work in the sneak attack last night.

The other two were two-masted merchant ships, both stuffed with boxes of cargo.

The Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce felt that this operation was a safe operation, so it brought in various resources and supplies at the same time, and wanted to start construction as soon as the Crescent Islands were captured.

So all these resources are cheap for him.

After some counting, the two merchant ships had more than 700 slaves, many of whom were skilled.

There are hundreds of tons of various daily necessities, including more than 100,000 units of food, all of which are dried meat and dry food that can be preserved for a long time, and there is no need to worry about spoilage.

There are also many iron utensils of all kinds, such as shovels, axes, pickaxes, etc., which can be used for a long time.

Maybe it's because it's thinking that it's going to be cleared, so there's no luxury.

However, this amount of material is enough to make a qualitative change in the quality of life of the territory.

In addition, Ji Chen also found several architectural drawings purchased by the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce at a large price.

The Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce probably didn't expect that the blueprints they bought to speed up the construction of the island would be given to Ji Chen in vain.

On it together
