The Evil Generation of Pirates

Time passed to the end of July. .

The mobilization of the Laika Kingdom is basically completed, which means that Xian's crossbow arrows will shoot out of the sky.Sure enough, on July [-], the Kingdom of Laika, which had previously been restraining the scale of the conflict, declared war on the Kingdom of Nubery, and took the initiative that day. The fleet headed towards the Kingdom of Nubery, and then encountered the Kingdom of Nubery's fleet in the Shipwreck Strait. check.

The two sides launched a fierce naval battle, which would shake the stable situation in the Brenno Sea for many years.

On the same day, Rock Shriver obtained first-line news through the Laika Kingdom Economic News, and then immediately rushed to the Chamber of Commerce base to find Yamos.

Along the way, Locke Shriver witnessed a commotion.Nothing more than small-scale riots, common in the context of war.Some older people who have experienced war are full of fear of the word war, and after the war broke out, some significant effects occurred in the country immediately.

At the very beginning, the Laika Kingdom used newspapers and other institutions to incite public emotions and mobilize the emotions of the people to the same node. Everyone shared the same hatred and the anger of a country.

This trick worked, but no one likes war.

No one likes war.

The impact of the outbreak of war is subtly changing everything in the two countries.The grievances between the two countries that had accumulated over decades, as well as the king's desire for the country to break out of the backwaters of the Brenno Sea, led to the war.

Ganis Fortress was affected, and both the Kingdom of Laika and the Kingdom of Nuberi began to thoroughly investigate smuggling channels to prevent businessmen from making huge war profits.The channel on Bechus Island has been closed after Yamos and the others sold the monopoly of Ganis Fortress. What was discovered this time was another pitiful place.

"The war has begun! The war has begun! Laika takes the initiative to attack Nuberi!"

On the streets of Bechus Island, there are children selling newspapers shouting out today's headlines.He yelled hard, his eyes were clear and pure, and he had no idea what the words he kept repeating meant.

As for the pedestrians who heard the fairy tale while walking, their shoulders suddenly sank, their eyes were dull, and a huge change occurred in one second, and they began to walk like a zombie.

Rock Shriver walked down the street and watched this scene.He knew that the war was still far away for Bechus Island. The battlefield was in the Shipwreck Strait. It was almost impossible to reach Bechus Island. After all, the combat power between the two countries was about the same. It would be difficult for the Nuberi Kingdom to defeat Laika in one fell swoop. The kingdom's fleet then drove straight down to Bechus Island.

But the battlefield is not far away, and the smoke of gunpowder has filled everyone's hearts the moment the fleet's artillery exploded.

At this moment, some unresolved things in his heart that had been entangled and sealed by the spider were broken by themselves.He felt a trace of sadness, and from this trace of sadness, he tasted the sweetness, bitterness, and spicyness, and these tastes made him appreciate Yamos's firm belief.

That kind of absurd, swearing, and unpopular words appeared in Rock Shriver's mind and echoed in his ears.

At this moment he took a substantial step. In addition to the so-called "I am a gambler, this time I want to bet on the whole world", he found that he had more motivation and hope.

Maybe in the future, when someone asks him why he plays for Yamos, he will still answer: Because I am a gambler. I have never bet on such a big thing, so I followed him.

But this sentence is no longer a reason for him to insist on it, but an excuse.

"No one likes war." Rock Shriver murmured, and the newsboy's shouts gradually faded away.

Chamber of Commerce Base

Rock Shriver came to the door of Yamos' office. He knocked on the door, but there was no response.He knocked again, but still no response.So he opened the door, and what came into view was the back of Yamos.

Yamos was sitting on the armrest of the sofa, hunched over, holding a newspaper in his hand.

Rock Shriver couldn't see Amos's face, but he sensed helplessness from Amos's body.He closed the door gently and walked over gently: "Have you got the news too?"

Yamos, who looked like a withered corpse, slowly raised his head. His hair was dyed golden by the sunlight projected in, but his face was sallow: "Yeah."

"Are you afraid of war?" Rockschriver did not analyze the impact of this war and their subsequent response strategies with Yamos as he originally thought, but asked a confused question.

Yamos did not respond.

"I seem to have discovered your weakness, Yamos." Rock Shriver put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood behind Yamos, also illuminated by the light.

"I have experienced too much." Yamos made a hoarse voice, "So even though I know that I will face more of this kind of thing in the future, I am still quite afraid of the word war. People who have not experienced it will not understand it at all. ...I can’t understand the heaviness of these two words. I have seen it, I have seen countless families broken up, and Brenno was stained with pain.”

"I can feel it." Locke Shriver responded with understanding. In fact, it is not easy for a person like Yamos to say what he often experiences but is still afraid of. Such a man dares to challenge the entire world, but he clearly expected it. When war is about to break out, even when you are fully prepared mentally, you still feel lonely, "This is you."

Yamos' grip on the newspaper tightened: "I have never been an enemy of thousands of people, I have never had a superior mind, I have never had a domineering air, and I have never been ruthless."

"That's why you want to change the world, isn't it?" Rock Shriver leaned on the back of the sofa and turned his head to look at Amos, "At least you have changed me now. I am such a careless person and don't take everything seriously. People, suddenly seemed to be affected by the war today. On the way to the base, I heard the newsboy saying that Laika had declared war. I saw a lot of bad things from the faces of passers-by at that time. What I saw most was that gamblers were in disbelief. expression, because I always win them without leaving even a pair of underwear. I once thought that the expressions of gamblers when they lose bets are the ugliest expressions in the world. Unexpectedly, when I saw the faces of passers-by today, I discovered that they are gamblers. It was ten thousand times uglier. And then...unknowingly, huh...you know, I also showed this expression."

Yamos's head moved slightly.

"It feels like the perspective is different." Rock Shriver has never lamented like this. He has always behaved impeccably. "I used to be in a high position. I can use my power to influence many things, and I am not among the common people. In a world, they are just a number in my eyes, a number of materials consumed for food every day, a number of wealth that can bring us profits. However, we are actually civilians, and we are also included in that number. "

"Locke, there is a feeling that you may never realize. I know the direction of the world in the next ten years. I know who will die and who will suffer in the next moment. I am used to that kind of thing. Ugly things, so people who cherish beauty very much. In the endless wasteland, rare and fragile flowers are dying. I can see their painful death expressions, but I have no ability to save everything." Yamos is still bent. Waist, white shirt seems like a lonely flower swaying in the black soil, "I have never been a perpetrator, but when you can't care for the only remaining flowers, the facts have pushed you towards the perpetrator."

"But we have really changed, Yamos. To be honest, I have never felt that the responsibility we shoulder is so important and glorious." Rock Shriver said, "I am full of energy. What I am doing now is not some bullshit rescue." In the world, we are not that kind of saint, and there will never be that kind of saint. We are just redeeming ourselves. We are just like those guys who are noisy and want to turn the world upside down. They can't stand the world we like. We can’t stand the world they like either. Let’s have a fight. Whoever wins will have to listen to whoever the world is and what it will become.”

Yamos smiled, and Rock Shriver's suddenly childish words made his helplessness ease a little.

"Now is not the time for us to lament, Yamos." Rock Shriver put a hand on Yamos's shoulder, "If we want to defeat those guys, we must become stronger."

"Tell me your analysis." Yamos turned around, picked up the wine bottle from the wine table, and poured two glasses of wine.

Rock Shriver smiled, knowing that Yamos had quickly recovered his condition. He felt Yamos's confidence. That kind of confidence was what could lead them to break away the fog and move towards the end: "Okay. Now the war has begun. After all, our layout has not changed in a hurry, so my idea is to continue to watch the battle situation and at the same time strengthen the development of our military strength. When the battle situation has a certain degree of clear direction, we will respond based on this direction."

"I think so too." Yamos took a sip of wine and handed the other glass to Rock Shriver, "Now we can't do anything, we should act as if nothing happened and step up our training. By the way, Dora How are Te and Drake doing on Francis Island?"

Rock Shriver took the wine glass: "With Drake's help, Dolat's pressure has been reduced a lot. The training of new recruits is also proceeding at a fast pace. In a month or two, they can try to enter the battlefield to practice."

"We can also take advantage of the chaos to prepare to encroach on nearby islands. The resources of one Bechus Island are not enough for us." Yamos said.

"We are considering this. The reef is in contact with the chief executives of several surrounding islands, but it will take time to break into them and achieve the same power control as Bechus Island." Rock Shriver emphasized, "There is obviously not enough time now. .”

"Ah, I have a headache." Yamos rubbed his temples, "Let's do this for now. There's nothing else to say. Both sides in this war are evenly matched, but they must defeat each other in order to lead the country out of Breno. In this poor place, the sea area is probably going to be a protracted tug of war.”

Rock Shriver seemed to be tired, so he walked to the sofa opposite Yamos and smashed it: "Indeed, it is not easy to decide the winner. If they fight for a few years, both countries will be dragged down. This morning King They all called the city hall and asked various newspapers to assist the government and conduct publicity in the near future to arouse public opinion. Prepare for the new policy of increasing taxation in a week."

"Bechus Island is our land. We can't control other places. Our people can still protect it. Our chamber of commerce will pay for the tax we have to impose. There is no need to impose taxes." Yamos suggested, "If we pay tax for everyone in the name of our chamber of commerce, the public's moral support will also increase greatly."

"Okay." Locke Shriver had no objection. "The city hall can actually contribute some money. It's not a problem to convince Carl Radin to let the city hall pay."

"Of course the city hall can share some of the financial pressure for us, but our chamber of commerce must be the protagonist in the publicity at that time," Yamos said.

Rock Shriver laughed loudly: "Of course."

The two clinked a glass. Yamos swung the glass and stared at the liquid with bright eyes: "How is the matter with Luo? It's been a month."

"Our reef has not yet developed to the point where it can radiate the entire North Sea. Now we have just captured the Kingdom of Laika and Nuberi, and we have begun to gradually establish an intelligence system to assist us in a series of subsequent plans. As for greater expansion, we need at least About half a year." Rock Shriver shook his head.

Yamos didn't care. After all, the North Sea was so big, and he didn't think that the reef, which had just been established for a month, could find Luo.

"But this matter has to be delayed, right? We can't do it ourselves at the moment, and it's not like we can't ask others to do it. I've posted a high reward in the dark world, and I guess there will be news soon." Locke Shriver gave up. Then he told the good news.

"You always have a way!" Yamos was very satisfied.

Rock Shriver felt a little awkward when Amos, who was seven or eight years younger than him, called him "you kid": "No more kidding. Depending on your age, you have to call me brother."

Yamos glanced at Rock Shriver and pursed his lips with a smile.

Rock Shriver was offended and about to have a fit.Yamos poured him wine directly, forcing him to suppress his anger.

"Here, have a drink." Yamos raised his glass, "Say something."

"Well... hope the war ends soon?" Rock Shriver raised his glass.

"Then may there be peace in the world." Yamos grinned.

"Okay, I wish there would be peace in the world." Rock Shriver also grinned.

"Snapped."

There was a crisp sound of clinking glasses, and both of them raised their heads and drank all the wine in the glasses.

They drank happily, as if there was really a magic power in the wine that could eliminate everyone's worries and make the world the way they liked.

After drinking, the two of them smashed their wine glasses on the table. Yamos looked at Rock Shriver: "Okay, we have woken up from the dream, and it's time for us to move towards reality."

"That was not necessarily a dream just now." Rock Shriver solemnly said, "As long as we are willing, we can make the future what we want."
