144 Collusion, preparation

"So, you have a total of seven captains, ten large ships, and more than 2,000 pirates?"

"If you want to, then there will only be six captains, nine large ships, and 1,700 pirates left. ”

The tone of the speaker was humble, but judging from the unnatural expression, it was obvious that it was not very suitable for this kind of style, and most of the people at sea were vulgar and unliterate, and such a scene of polite communication seemed a little far away from their world.

The mage looked at the young man who claimed to be the first mate of the Spear Squid, although through the information gathered by Frass and the identification of the secret agent, he was able to confirm the identity of this person, but he had deep doubts about the news brought by the other party.

"Okay, I can probably tell if the information you brought is true or not, but...... You said that your captain wanted to cooperate with me, how do I know that this is not your strategy, and that I will be put in a greater disadvantage if you want to cooperate with me from the outside?"

Penny looked at the face of the young pirate, he didn't have too clear a righteous position, and he was not averse to cooperating with pirates, but "My lord, I have already shown enough sincerity to be able to come." Morey frowned, and the spellcasters were as vigilant and meticulous as the rumors suggested: "Our master has seen Bloodbeard wiped out by your army and spells, and thinks it's foolish to fight you. What's more, several other captains seem to have shown bad intentions, you know, the Spear Squid has been arranged to be the vanguard of the attack on the territory of the adults, just three days later. ”

"Oh...... It's a lot of fun. Hughes raised his eyebrows: "Dear Penny, three days, two thousand pirates, more than five hundred bandits, flanked on both sides. ”

He reminded.

"And a hundred elite Mullan Temple warriors. Morey added: "This is the full strength of the captains and the men of the mountains." ”

The mage felt a burst of trouble, such a powerful force, if you attack this town, it is not so easy to deal with, suddenly laughed, and shook his head: "As you said, this chief officer, I feel that there is such a big gap in strength between the two sides, even if you are willing to turn your back on those robbers and help us, but the result is ......"

"Even if we don't help you, we will only perish. The man next to the first mate took off the headscarf that covered the small half of his face, revealing a young face with a short beard.

The mage opened his eyes, and felt a unique temperament from this young man who suddenly appeared.

It was a man who was used to giving orders, and as soon as he appeared, the first mate naturally took a step back.

"I think I should be able to show more sincerity when I come. The young man smiled and saluted the mage, and although his movements were not natural, he showed a demeanor: "If you still have doubts in your heart, my lord, the Spear Squid is anchored on the southern coast, and I can drive it over." ”

"Well, it's incredible. Penny was silent for a moment, then exhaled, looked deeply at the young man who suddenly appeared, and had already deduced the identity of the other party: "If I arrest you now, then the seven captains will be reduced by one." ”

"And you'll have one less ally. Captain Dibino smiled.

"I admire your guts. Penny also smiled back: "Well, this captain, it seems that you are very sincere, and if other people are in your situation, most of them will not obediently cooperate with those captains, but I can't figure it out, you cooperate with me, I can't think of any benefit other than revenge on them." ”

"My lord, you could think that I chose one of the two bad choices that didn't look so bad. The captain spread his hands, and such a blunt speech made the lord Penny and Hughes feel a wave of surprise at the same time, but the faces of several Searle knights around him were angry, because such words were somewhat disrespectful.

"At the very least, I'm already sure that if I do what they tell me to do, I'll be eaten to the point that I don't have even a bone left, and I think the adults seem to have a place where they can use me. The captain of the 'Gun Squid' continued.

“...... All right. Penny was persuaded by the impeccable words: "If you succeed, what do you want?"

Alliances without a basis of common interests are ultimately unreliable, and the mere principle of 'survival' is not sufficient.

"I want to be able to get the friendship of adults. Captain Spear Squid had a sly smile on his face, "If only I could help the adults." ”

"Not bad, not bad. Penny admits that he has come to appreciate the daring pirate leader somewhat.

The smile on Dibino's face was even brighter, but the first mate next to him secretly wiped a cold sweat.

"Dibby, it's too dangerous for you to jump out directly. Safely returned to his own pirate ship, the first mate grumbled.

"Peace of mind, I jumped out after seeing the situation. Dibino was still smiling.

"Optimistic about the situation?" the first mate's eyelids jumped.

"This red-robed mage is very interesting. Dibino looked at the shores of the town and looked back at Morey's face: "Don't you think he's special? ”

"Indeed, but God knows what he thinks?" Morey wiped the corners of his forehead and paused in his tone: "Dibino, I really don't agree with what you do, they don't like people like us." ”

"No political axe would like pirates. Dibino sighed, "However, you can see that the Lord is a sane man, and you can see that his men and army are loyal to him. ”

Morey thought for a moment, thought of what he had seen on the beach, and nodded.

"So I believe I made the right choice. Dibino smiled: "And there will be more benefits in the future, think, Morey, Amlau's navy has been regrouped, the heads of the two captains west of Amlau last month have been hung on their masts, and we also have to think more about the future." ”

Morey was stunned.

With the new Governor of Anlaur and Commander of the Navy firmly in power, the signs of a purge of the seas are already in sight.

This is also the reason why those pirates are united, and if they fight separately, they will only be swallowed up by the Serre Navy in one gulp.

Only this time it was told to Dibino that no alliance was reliable.

In the end, everything can only be done on its own.

"Be careful lately, you must not let out any rumors. Debino looked at the busy sailors on board, and though they were his carefully selected cronies, he told them again and again.

Morey nodded, taking Dibino's instructions to heart.

"I'd like to see if these hungry wolves who want to eat me have such hard teeth. Dibino gritted his teeth as he sneered, his eyes like a night owl, and his face looked very hideous.

...... "Do you really believe in that pirate?" In the town, Hughes asked the silent Penny as he drank fresh coconut water, his tone full of distrust.

"It's too early to give this pirate trust. Penny shook his head, and suddenly sighed: "Two thousand six hundred, so many people, the top of a medium-sized legion." ”

Hughes fell silent.

A town with only more than 200 warriors could not stand a good chance of winning against such a large army on both sides, even if it was well-equipped.

The enemy can fill the town with people.

What's more, the other party has Mu Lan's temple priests, mages, and elite warriors.

In this case, a small giant soldier is probably not enough.

Penny was well aware that his treasure was originally just a sample, and the workmanship was very poor, and it only took a few mid-level spells with a surname to turn it into a pile of scrap metal.

If he had a thousand men, he could have relied on elite weapons, rigorous training, and well-laid out fortifications, but he had only two hundred.

Even if more than 300 pirates came to their aid, there were only 500 of them, and Penny didn't think the captain's words were entirely credible.

Pirates were unreliable fellows, and he was sure that if he fell into the middle of the battle, the cunning pirate would run away.

Maybe it's just a gamble now.

But he's not the crazy gambler.

"Assistance must be sought. Penny stood up.

"Assistance, by the way, Penny. Hughes's eyes lit up and he remembered something: "The current naval commander Romanion is from our family, and he may be able to provide some assistance." ”

"Really?" the mage was a little surprised, if he could get the help of the Serge Navy, then he wouldn't have to worry.

The Serre Navy has a total of more than 30 large warships and nearly 10,000 sailors, as long as they can ask for some assistance, it is very easy to defend against pirates.

However, Hughes's next words disappointed him a little: "But...... Penny, Lord Romanion is still in the west to clear out the pirates on the other side, and it will not be easy to contact him, and I am not sure that he will be able to come in three days......"

"Far ......," the mage frowned.

This is indeed a very fatal factor.

Time, it takes time for a sea vessel to sail.

"I'll think again. He frowned and smiled reluctantly at Hughes, "It would be better if I could ask for help." ”

"Of course, Penny, I'll go and inform them right away. Hughes nodded and stood up, "I think they'll come over as soon as possible, considering my factors." ”

"That's right. Penny also smiled: "But it's hard for you." ”

"It's not difficult, dear friend. Hughes shook his head: "I've been with you for a while, and I've learned some things, and it's useless to escape some things, so it's better to accept and use them." ”

Friend...... Probably a friend, Penny looked up at the ceiling for a while, thinking about the definition of a friend, and felt that the communication with Hughes was still pleasant, and there was no more conflict of interest, and the concepts of each other were not far from each other, and it was probably all possible to say that they were friends.

He shook his head, walked home, lit incense, summoned the mirror image of his mentor, and told him of the predicament he was facing.

Listening to the student's narration, Zhan Huashi's expression became more and more solemn: "I will provide you with assistance immediately." ”

"That's great. Penny breathed a sigh of relief: "Mentor, with your words, I am relieved." ”

"However, the assistance we can provide may not be as sufficient as you think, because we can't send much in such a short period of time. Zhan Huashi shook his head: "Ordinary red-robed mages, I'm afraid they won't be willing to go to your place." ”

Penny frowned.

"That's okay, I'll get ready and go over in person. The mentor thought about it for a moment and made a decision.

"You're alone?" Penny was stunned, what role could a Ring Mentor do?

In the face of more than 2,000 troops and a few fifth-order spells, it is no longer possible to dominate the outcome of a war.

He was hesitating, but a smile appeared on his face when he saw the image of Jhanhuas:

"I'll bring your work with me. ”

"Works?" the mage's heart throbbed, a little incredulous at Zhan Huashi's words.

His work, then it can only be that thing.

But...... Is this possible?

The giant god soldier has been classified as a high secret by the military department, and the sample at the time of the competition was quickly requisitioned by the relevant departments, and the family high-level also limited the manufacture of the giant god soldier, even if he himself, he can only use a shrunken version of the small giant soldier...... Doubts suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Master Castilee admires your design so much that he spends a lot of time making one himself, and the craftsmen in the workshop have made many changes, I believe it...... will make you find interesting. Zhan Huashi smiled secretly: "I think she is happy to help you." ”
