Chapter 120 Time to walk a tightrope

"His Excellency Commander, the will of the merchant group to resist has been shaken, and those cowardly and incompetent guys may raise the flag to Will Nidham at any time."

Hearing his adjutant's words, the bear goblin commander who could stand on his fist and run on his arm smiled maliciously. While pulling the thick hair on the back of his hand itched, he said in a rough voice:

"It's better if that group of trash scum dies. Without them, the Empire can replace a group of more obedient hairless monkeys to undertake special trade. Our mission is to eradicate the wanted criminals of the Empire and kill those monkeys and nobles in exile."

If you can't see your immediate boss, you are really sure, or you are pretending, the adjutant of the big goblin continued to ask quietly and said:

"So, Your Excellency Commander, are we going to prepare for the attack? The time is right now."

The old enemy Modo Heishui encountered the Mana Storm. That time he was defeated extremely miserably. In the end, it ran back to the main continent with only a few shrimps. This miserable virtue of a betrayal dog was naturally a joke to the commander of the bear goblin. Although Modo Heishui's miserable defeat seemed to be explained by too bad luck, the heroes have always been judged by success or failure on the battlefield. If you lose, you lose. No matter what reasons or excuses you find, you will be useless. For soldiers, the outcome is everything.

Seeing Modo Hei Shui's embarrassment, Zheti Baishan didn't want to repeat the opponent's mistakes. Anyway, the cards it held were much stronger than the Pirates' Fleet. Instead of hoping for a surprise attack to succeed, it would be better to steadily push the horizon over. As long as the plan was not omitted, it was inevitable to win the final victory.

Thinking of this, Zheti Baishan, full of confidence, grinned and said:

"You can't be anxious about war! Let's continue and order the soldiers to stay ready. When the hairless monkeys feel that they are about to succeed, their vigilance is the weakest."

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander."

Indeed, the current battlefield situation is very good for the pirates. The poor armed forces under the Merchant Group and its merciless armed forces were still insisting on resisting in the face of the violent invasion of the privateer fleet, but their struggle and counterattack were obviously getting weaker and weaker. In this optimistic prospect, Luo Zhengdao, who had always been intuition, began to pace back and forth on the flagship deck. This strange feeling like a thorn in his throat made him unable to sit and stand still. At what point did it go wrong? Luo Zhengdao, who was frightened, vaguely felt that he had missed some very important things and was unwilling to be seen by his subordinates. Soon he found an excuse to avoid everyone's eyes and returned to the captain's room, staring alone at the map of the main continent and the starry sea.

If the bystander saw Luo Zhengdao's meticulous and focused expression, he would definitely feel that he was planning to see a flower from this picture. Luo Zhengdao looked at the chart very seriously. At this moment, his heart suddenly moved, and suddenly realized and slapped the back of his head, exclaimed:

"No! The goblins decided to move to the boundary and ban the sea. They must be prepared to bear the losses. The plundering losses of ordinary pirates can be ignored. Their real goals, is it that... what a big show layout, to lead me to the bait, sacrifice a prosperous commercial city, and it's a big deal!"

I suddenly realized that he, the exiled noble leader, was the confidant in the eyes of the Goblin Second Empire. The eradication of Will Nidham was far more important for the Goblins than to save Xiangjiang.

Thinking about what his misunderstanding was, Luo Zhengdao immediately knew how bad the situation was. He quickly ran to the podium. As soon as he saw Brando Feiyan, he asked in a scattered manner:

"Brando, which pirates are the closest to us?"

Suddenly when asked this question, I didn't know why the Count asked himself so anxiously. Brando Feiyan lowered his head and thought for a moment, and replied:

"The nearest one... should be the Valanjin Pirates."

"Then how strong are they?"

Captain Brando Feiyan, who wandered through the seven seas, was killed by the pursuer who had a talent for running away, obviously had more leisurely days in the Ether Sea in the past. The various characters he came into contact with were also much more complicated. The interface said:

"There are very strong. All the red-haired barbarians are born pirates. If they weren't for their surprisingly poor artillery skills, the regular naval fleet might not have been able to beat them."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao was immediately delighted. He stretched out his hands and pulled Brando, and said earnestly.

"Okay, now put down all the work you have at hand, I will give you the fastest ship, and immediately contact the Valanjin Pirates, tell them that the Hong Kong River may be defeated at any time, and if they are willing to help in the battle, I can share all the spoils with them."

Upon hearing this, Brando Feiyan's eyes immediately widened and said with a stammering voice:

"Sir, what do you mean by...?"

The matter has come to this moment. Luo Zhengdao, who was conscious of his own anger, had no intention of explaining the whole story to him slowly, so he simply put on his face and said in a deep voice:

"Don't ask too much, execute the commands! Remember, be sure to tell them."

"Yes, I will try my best to convince them."

Watching Brando Feiyan climb onto a cruise ship and go away, Luo Zhengdao turned his head and felt worried, so he called a small leader and told him:

"Send a signal to inform each ship to slow down the attack speed, and the main ships should not disperse their actions and are ready to deal with the raids of the goblin fleet at any time."

"Yes, Lord Earl."

He sent someone to call back the sailor Zora from the outer cruise fleet, and the messenger sent out had not yet explained the reason. As soon as he met, Luo Zhengdao grabbed Zora Hegel and said anxiously:

"Green skin is coming, you can prepare it, this is a big battle."

Hearing the sound, Zora Hegel was dizzy by this sudden words. In the comics, he must have a funny look with a black line. He immediately looked at Luo Zhengdao with a laugh and crying expression, and asked:

"What raid? Where is the goblin fleet? Have we received the information?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhengdao shook his head repeatedly and sighed:

"There is no intelligence, and time is tight now. I don't have time to explain the reasons, so let's do it!"

In terms of the strength of the military, the Goblin Empire, which has been accelerating the construction of the naval in recent years, does not worry about not being able to deal with Luo Zhengdao's privateer fleet at will. The poor quality of the troops can be filled by quantity. No matter how strong the quality of the pirate fleet is, there are only three or two big cats and kittens. What a tiger can't stand a group of wolves!

The key question is not whether to defeat the pirates, but the goblins are worried that the big fish Luo Zhengdao will slip away easily from their noses again. This has happened more than once or twice. Those purebred idiots who only have pig straits in their minds should also learn to be smarter. For this reason, the goblin military headquarters, which racked their brains, designed an extremely complex action plan. Simply put, they were preparing to wait for the pirate fleet to fall into the urban street fighting vortex of Xiangjiang and be unable to withdraw, and then the Zheti Baishan fleet attacked from the back. At the same time, another fleet cooperated to block the periphery of the port, striving to break the pirate fleet in one fell swoop and catch the turtle in the jar.

Waiting for the completion of the layout, the goblin fleet would not act rashly before being convinced that the big fish would bite the hook. However, once they realized that Luo Zhengdao had the possibility of escaping, they would not care about the original plan. This was the wishful thinking of the goblins.

Luo Zhengdao is also facing a dilemma of riding a tiger. The Second Goblin Empire, which is about to begin moving to the boundary and forbidden sea, will continue to strengthen its armed blockade against the coastline in the future. The pirates' lives will definitely be more and more sad. They must take advantage of the current opportunity to consolidate the foundation and save precious resources for winter.

Compared to the rich source and channel money, Luo Zhengdao attaches more importance to the population. Without sufficient manpower, it is difficult to maintain the normal operation of a fleet. Because of this, even though he knew that Xiangjiang, the fat piece of meat that was about to come to his mouth, was probably the poisonous bait put down by the enemy, he was reluctant to spit it out. The population resources here were his goal that he was determined to win.

So, they vaguely realized what the other party wanted to do. The goblin and the pirate each sharpened their swords and prepared for a big battle. The moment they revealed their trump card will come soon.

Time passed by minute by minute. Luo Zhengdao ordered the pirate fleet to preserve its strength and did not use all its combat power to attack. The powerful power and ultra-long range of the giant cannon still completely destroyed the fighting will of the Xiangjiang Fort garrison as expected. Seeing the enemy bombarding his companions one by one outside of their own fire range, this cold fighting method that is like a gun is not the ultimate pressure that can be carried by normal people. It is normal for the merchant regiments to defeat the army. Even if Luo Zhengdao is placed in this position, he dare not guarantee that his subordinates will not collapse.

"Sir Earl, the Marines have seized Pier 3."

Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao, who was frowning, rubbed the part between his eyebrows with his hands and said absent-mindedly:

"Okay, control the dock and clear the remaining enemy troops in the surrounding areas. No one is allowed to go deep into the city without my order."

"Yes, Lord Earl."

The initial motivation for most pirates in the new world to venture out of the sea is nothing more than pursuing wealth, honor and status. Compared to money, the latter two are obviously more difficult to obtain. In fact, only a very small number of pirate captains with outstanding talents and luck can win honor and status, and even be favored by a certain country to be incorporated into a regular navy. This ending of life can be considered a perfect result for pirates.

Those ordinary pirates who know that they have no hope of reaching the top of the industry spend all their energy on making money. They have to earn all the money that can live comfortably in the rest of their lives, so they have great enthusiasm for activities such as robbing cities.

Commercial metropolis such as Xiangjiang have accumulated a huge amount of wealth. Raising the city is a shortcut to make pirates get rich overnight. It has to be said that Luo Zhengdao issued this vague order, which really disappointed the pirates under his command. If it weren't for the fact that a large proportion of sailors and grassroots officers were loyal fans of the Earl Fulu family, the existence of these hard-core direct lines partially offset the dissatisfaction of other pirates with Luo Zhengdao, otherwise these lawless guys would dare to abandon Luo Zhengdao, the incompetent pirate leader, and now, due to the despicable guys around him, the deeply dissatisfied radicals had to endure the unwilling orders for the time being, and could not stop cursing a bastard who was blocking his wealth.

You can also know by thinking with your butt. Telling a group of greedy foxes to guard the door of the chicken coop is not allowed to speak. This matter itself violates the laws of nature. Luo Zhengdao knew it well that the pirates' patience is limited. He had to give a reasonable explanation before the negative emotions of these guys accumulate to the point of breaking up the internal strife, otherwise no one will be out of the way.
