Call of the Pirates

Chapter 207 Akishima's Winning

As time goes by, the war is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere on the four islands is highly tense, and bloody incidents occur every day on the coastlines closest to each other.

The situation in the country is not optimistic either. The Kingdom's army has extended its hand to the west coast. Lanka, as the second most populous town on Xia Island, is an important recruitment site.

Conflicts occurred from time to time, and the anti-war sentiment among civilians was rising day by day, more intense than ever before.

They recognized the reality. The so-called Battle of Glory took place every ten years and took away countless lives. There was no such thing as the glory advertised by the king!

While losing their husbands, fathers, children, and relatives time after time, they also lost their trust in the kingdom.

"Lord Bai Yang, a battle broke out in the eastern village. More than a dozen conscripted kingdom soldiers were killed. Their bodies were hung on the arch bridge, and the words "Do not approach" were written in blood. It seemed that they were warning the kingdom's army."

The head of the guard, Edlan, knelt on one knee and reported the information collected. During this period of time, she led more than half of the female warriors to disperse all over the kingdom to collect abnormal situations.

"Thank you for your hard work. Continue to monitor. The eastern mountain village is the focus."

Bai Yang looked out of the window with his hands behind his back. It was clearly daytime, but the streets were empty. Since the arrival of the conscription army, the residents of the west coast had all been hiding in their homes, and only dared to come out for a little activity in the early morning before dawn.

Judging from the current tense situation, it is very likely that there will be a civil strife before the war.

At night, thunder rolled, and the entire sea area of ​​Four Seasons Island ushered in a storm. It seemed that even God felt this unusual atmosphere.

In the middle of the night, the maid Thelma trotted to Bai Yang's room and said softly, "Master Bai Yang, there is a guest downstairs who wants to see you."

"guest?"

Bai Yang frowned slightly, it was almost past 12 o'clock, and he came to the door so late, I don't know which side it is.

Downstairs in the hall, a man in a poncho and several subordinates stood in a corner, covering his face with a hood. The wet skirt kept dripping water, which gathered on the ground to form a pool of water. Behind them, there was another With a pitch-black box.

As Bai Yang went downstairs, the people in the corner were visibly shocked, subconsciously took half a step back, it was caused by an emotion called fear.

Bai Yang took into account the states and movements of several people, and had a rough guess in his heart.

"Thelma, go make some hot soup, and prepare some clean clothes."

Bai Yang gave orders, and did not rush forward to talk to the guests. He waited until the broth and new clothes were placed on the table before coming to the guests, and said calmly, "Clean up, I'll wait for you upstairs."

A few people obviously didn't expect this to happen, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

After 15 minutes, they changed into clean clothes and their stomachs were full. They came to the tea room on the second floor, and their mental state was obviously much better.

There were three men and one woman in total, and the leading man bowed deeply to Bai Yang: "Thank you Lord Yanlong."

"Little things, sit down."

Bai Yang stretched out his hand to signal, and asked with a faint smile: "Aren't you from this island?"

Looking at the poor condition of a few people just now, they obviously stayed in the storm for a long time, and they don't look like they came from the royal city, so there is a high probability that they are people from other islands.

"Master Yanlong is right, we are from Akishima."

The leading man rubbed his hands nervously, with a miserable smile on his face: "My name is Kunk, and I used to be the commander of the Autumn Kingdom's ocean fleet, but the fleet was destroyed half a month ago, and I have also become a sinner of the kingdom."

Bai Yang almost spewed out the tea, and managed to hold back, feeling that this guy was the commander of the fleet he burned, this is really an embarrassing scene.

Kunke failed to notice what was wrong with Bai Yang, he lowered his head slightly, and said bitterly: "Thank you Lord Yanlong for being merciful that day, for sparing the lives of me and my subordinates."

"Um, I don't want to kill someone."

Bai Yang waved his hand in embarrassment, it is normal to guess his identity, his name is Yanlong, and he is also an outsider, with his ass, everyone knows that he did it.

With a light cough, Bai Yang tried his best to maintain a calm posture, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"We are here to convey His Majesty's goodwill."

Kunke stepped aside, and the only woman among the four stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "I am the Minister of Finance of the Autumn Kingdom, Lilica, and I sneaked here by taking advantage of the storm, just to express the goodwill of the Autumn Kingdom."

After the words fell, the other two opened the treasure chest they were carrying, which was full of gold and silver treasures, which were of great value.

Bai Yang was already prepared in his heart, so he wasn't too surprised.

The kingdom's fleet was destroyed, how could Akishima remain indifferent, but with his strength and Huihui's daily explosive warnings, Akishima could not choose to head-on, so the only way left was to win over.

Bai Yang's eyes signaled: "Go on, you risked your life to come here, shouldn't you just come here to give money?"

Lilica smiled slightly, pointed to the treasure box and said, "These are just greeting gifts. Your Majesty wants to ask the Akatsuki Pirates to help Akishima to win this Glory War."

"I see. It's a pity that you came a step late. I have already promised to help Xia Dao."

Bai Yang shrugged, looking helpless.

Lilica was very calm, she naturally knew this information, not only that, she also got the conditions promised by Xia Dao.

"Your Excellency Yanlong, the king of Xia Island is an incompetent person who is greedy for pleasure, and the chaotic situation here is proof that under his rule, the four islands will only gradually decline and become poor!
From a long-term perspective, the benefits he promised to you will gradually decrease, and eventually he will not be able to provide any help to the Akatsuki Pirates. "

Lilica's face was full of confidence: "Our king of Akishima is different. Under his diligent rule, the people of Akishima are united as one, and the national power is also the strongest among the four islands.

What Xia Dao can give, we Qiu Dao can also provide, and can bring more, more stable and lasting benefits to Xiao Pirates! "

Bai Yang nodded in agreement: "What you said is very reasonable. At present, Xia Island is indeed the most unstable existence. It is not as comfortable as Winter Island, which has the least population."

Lilica looked surprised: "Then you agree?"

"No, I refuse!"

Bai Yang narrowed his eyes: "We, Xiao, have promised the king of Xiadao that we will win this war, and this will not change."

"As for how shrewd your king is, I'm really sorry. Xiao Pirates don't need such a powerful ruler. You should go back and tell your king to bring as many soldiers as possible. Maybe there is still a chance of victory!"

Bai Yang smiled and leaned on the sofa, jokingly, the more stupid the king, the easier it is to cooperate, he doesn't want to argue with smart people.
