Chapter 159 The precursor to the storm in the city

"Hahaha, then please be prepared! Goodbye!"

Watching the mysterious man in black robe disappear from his own vision, the military chief couldn't help but shiver and murmured:

"This guy..."

Indeed, during the short few minutes of spending with this black-robed guest, the feeling was like a cold and sticky slug that crawled down from his forehead through his eyelids. The strange taste of mixed disgust, fear and unknown is really hard to express in words. If the situation allows, the Chief Executive hopes that he will never have to see this guy again in his life. Of course, it actually understands in his heart that this small wish is unlikely to be fulfilled. Regardless of the success or failure of the assassination action plan, the two sides will inevitably meet again. When they recalled the scene just now, they couldn't help but get goosebumps.

After leaving the meeting place, the man in black robe appeared in a dark basement, strangely, he could not hear the sound of footsteps at all. Only the water droplets leaking from the ceiling hit the ground and made a slight sound, breaking the silence like death.

When the man in black robe stopped, a smooth and flat stone wall appeared in front of him. He stretched out his staff and knocked on the stone wall. The man in black robe said in a mute and vague voice:

"Asha! The action is about to begin."

The pleasant laughter like a silver bell echoed in the empty basement. Yasha, who looks like a beautiful and elegant beauty, has a graceful figure from the stone wall. It can be seen that the back is revealed behind the other party. The scenery is a vast Gobi sea with scorching sun like fire and yellow sand. Yasha still looks smiling and said coquettishly:

"It's great. I've been lurking for so long and I've been dried up by the sun. Remember to compensate me for a few spells. Your Secretariat is too stingy to do things."

The man in black robe who was as proud as gold seemed to have no interest in Yasha's pretentious behavior, and said in a bland tone:

"I will set off to Wick Reef immediately, get there and contact you, and this operation will not fail again."

As the words came to the ground, a strange and inexplicable green light appeared in the eyes of the man in the black robe, just like a bloodthirsty beast looking for the smell of prey in the dark night.

....................................................................................................................................

"Bang!"

Luo Zhengdao's office door was kicked open. The panting Brando Feiyan looked very inappropriate. He looked like he could fall to the ground and die suddenly at any time. He struggled and said:

"Master Earl, the Mage Tower has detected arcane fluctuations of unknown origin. It is suspected that someone used some strange object, and it is likely that a spy had sneaked in."

While drinking afternoon tea leisurely, when he heard this bad news, Luo Zhengdao almost sprayed his tea all over his body. He immediately didn't care about tidying up his face. He jumped up from the chair and asked:

"It's impossible! The island is full of people. Who else has magical objects except me? That must be done by the spy. Quickly, organize a man to search."

It was originally just a barren island reef that no one cares about, and the natural environment was extremely harsh. It was like a piece of white paper now housed a large number of human refugees from the main continent and the sea of ​​stars. The population size has expanded rapidly, and this once barren land has already had a bit of prosperity.

Most of these new immigrants were taken in from Qiongzhou and other places through the channels of the Pirate Alliance and Luo Zhengdao himself. They were the main victims of the goblin's migration policy to ban the sea. Later, the human fugitives who had been scattered on the sea of ​​stars a few years ago also received news. They migrated to Wick Reef, seeking shelter under Luo Zhengdao's wings. After all, whether the supreme ruler is of the same race is an important factor worth considering for most civilians in the New World.

According to incomplete statistics, the population on Wick Reef has exceeded 100,000. It is not enough to find time to clarify the clues, whether it is 110,000, 150,000 or 190,000. Luo Zhengdao could only accept this rough number vaguely.

No matter how good the idea is, it must be supported by the execution ability. Luo Zhengdao's subordinates have severely lacked qualified civilians, and there is no hope for the job of registering all populations in the short term. The current extensive management model is not completely unacceptable. Luo Zhengdao cannot expect that those rude men who control sail cables will leave their jobs and transform into a group of experienced and steady bureaucrats. This is no longer a demanding task, but just fantasizing out of thin air. Alright! In short, there are too few competent clerks who are familiar with documentary work on Wick Reef. The former Earl family retainers who were born in Qiongzhou worked as much as possible. However, compared with the workload of hundreds of times, their hard work can only be attributed to a drop in the bucket. All related document transcription and document filing work are in a severe disorder.

At first, Luo Zhengdao also tried to establish a complete and detailed resident identity archive system in the old world, but naturally it was because of the lack of civilian staff that repeatedly delayed and failed.

In fact, such unearthed and bizarre ideas are destined to be the fate of castles in the air early in the morning. You don’t see how high the illiteracy rate in the new world is. Without decades of literacy work, who can time travelers expect to popularize compulsory education in advance!

The personnel responsible for managing the civil affairs are busy and try to reduce the statistical error of the number of civilians under their control to three digits. This is already a very impressive achievement.

You should know that in order to evade the cap tax that the lord may have been entrusted by the lord, or taxes and military service of similar nature, it is a normal method of self-protection to conceal the population.

At present, he is raising hopes for others. Luo Zhengdao definitely does not want to be criticized for being too strict, or cause trouble that cannot be solved. After all, he does not have the legal qualifications of a supreme ruler of mankind. These refugees are just free people who come to join him, an exiled nobleman, and are neither serfs nor slaves. If everyone gets into a completely stalemate and these people start to rebel, Luo Zhengdao will also be unable to hold on. Moreover, his hands do not have strong grassroots organizations, and the detailed management of all nonsense is nonsense, and there is no capable subordinate to implement plans. This matter makes no matter how powerful time travelers come to do it, they can only stare at them!

He smelled a dangerous atmosphere of storm that was about to come and the wind filled the building. With Luo Zhengdao's order, all the people on Wick Reef immediately spread out and searched for suspicious people on the island, searching for the slums hiding foreign populations.

After three days of hard work, Luo Zhengdao did not forget to ask about this matter specifically at the regular meeting. He crossed his hands and said frowningly:

"Have the investigation been found?"

"Sadly, Lord Earl, we have not found any valuable clues."

The final answer given by Brando Feiyan is that he must not satisfy Luo Zhengdao. He knows what the pirates under his command are, just a group of rough men. If you ask them to carry swords to chop people, or rob a certain port, there is absolutely no problem at all. If you order them to use their brains to analyze who is suspected of having a big IQ test, it would be a matter of driving the ducks to put them on the shelves.

In fact, Luo Zhengdao did not have much expectations for the reconnaissance result that was unfavorable to the army. He could not be disappointed when the news of the failure came. Then, Luo Zhengdao touched his chin and said:

"Well, do I need to think of another way to do that?"

Since these subordinates were unable to rely on their own, Luo Zhengdao simply used his brain to find out this time bomb that was buried deep. Is it better to seek for himself than to ask for others? After thinking about it, he felt that fishing should be a good way, but the premise for this move was that it required good bait. If it was not a real bait, those cunning fish would not easily swallow the hook. On this wild and barren Wick Reef, an important goal worthy of others' painstaking calculations. Apart from Luo Zhengdao, an exiled nobleman, probably no other suitable person can be found. If he wanted to catch a big fish, he could only use himself as bait to lead the snake out of the hole.

In the Wick Reef, which has strict and comprehensive defense measures against external threats and extremely harsh internal living environment, it has used countless blood flowing from the goblin army to establish the reputation of being easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is necessary to challenge this extremely difficult task that can be called the hell level from a front, which is enough to eliminate the dark attempts of most enemies, so you cannot choose to fish on the Wick Reef Island, as the enemy is not stupid to come and die.

The New Caledonian Islands, which Luo Zhengdao often visits, is one of the central areas of pirate activity. There are too many unplanned interference factors there, and those who are interested will not like this place.

After counting it, I needed to take action as Luo Zhengdao himself. There was only one place where reinforcements were not easy to attract, the Shahua Yumen Kingdom, which was also in the eastern sea of ​​the Star Sea.

Although his appearance has changed a lot, as of now, the Shahua Yuman is still a wise race with a very backward and ignorant culture. Just as a human being who has not received a good education, he will act like a beast and act under instinct, neither being morally bound nor feeling guilty. In Luo Zhengdao's view, the Shahua Yuman cannot be said to be born evil, but it still lacks sufficient civilization accumulation. Perhaps for a few hundred years, the Shahua Yuman Kingdom can become a true civilization!

These thoughts scattered in Luo Zhengdao's mind. Soon his eyes gradually became firmer. He couldn't bear to let the child go to trap the wolf, so he had to take a risk and give it a try. After a moment of pause, he stood up and said to everyone:

"I'm going out recently and discussing food procurement and wood input with the fishman Wang Yakuru. If everything goes well, I will come back in half a month. Okay, everyone will go back to work!"

He deliberately announced his recent itinerary in advance, and Luo Zhengdao delayed the departure for another two days. He only brought three pirate warships when traveling, and the accompanying guards were not as strong as before.
Chapter completed!
