Chapter 889
"In the name of the Lord of Dream Soldiers! Drive out evil!"
Donald immediately fell on his knees and begged the grace of the God he believed in.
Zizi!
Behind him, the eerie symbol of the drowned person suddenly seemed to come alive, the lines turned blood red, and the vertical eyes in the middle blinked.
Gulu Gulu!
An unknown number of bubbles emerged, and Donald even felt a big opening in his back, as if a faucet connected to the sea.
A large amount of liquid came out at once.
"Strengthen your faith. When you are confused, don't listen to the voice from the deep sea. I will protect my believers..."
Fang Yuan's voice came out from the teaching emblem, with an ethereal taste.
Boom!
The space shook violently.
It was as if two giant beasts met on a narrow road and fought fiercely.
Donald screamed and almost passed out.
When he reacted, he immediately looked at the imprint on his back.
But at this time, as far as the eye can see, where is the half shadow of that mark?
Only a thin pool of seawater on the ground and a large herring with a white belly rolled over made Donald know that what happened just now was definitely not an illusion.
"Thank you, my lord, you saved me again!"
Donald, who understood all the causes and consequences, immediately prayed more devoutly than usual.
"Mr. Donald!"
At this time, there was a hasty knock on the door.
"What's going on, didn't I tell you not to let anyone disturb me?"
Donald frowned, but still went over and opened the door.
"Sorry! Sir, there is an envoy from the Duke of Ham who must see you immediately... This is..."
Undoubtedly, the scene inside the house immediately caused the butler to exclaim.
"It's nothing... It's just that I'm conducting a small experiment. Also, if the news here gets out, I think you will go to Birch Street tomorrow to find a new job."
Donald straightened his clothes: "Take me to meet this guest!"
"no problem."
The housekeeper shuddered, his back straightened a bit more than usual.
"Dear Mr. Donald!"
The envoy from the Duke of Ham is a servant who often serves the Duke of Ham. As soon as he saw Donald, he felt as if he had seen a savior: "My lord Duke wants to see you, immediately! Immediately!"
"I see... it seems that something happened... something extraordinary!"
Donald nodded, took the coat from the butler, and got into the carriage.
In the manor of the Duke of Ham.
At this time, the noble old man no longer had the leisure he had before. Instead, he stared at a battle report in his hand, like a sculpture, stagnating there for a long time.
"Your Excellency the Duke?"
Donald called tentatively.
"Ah...Donald, here you are..."
The Duke of Ham frowned, and let out a mournful cry like a dying person: "Tomorrow I will take the first ship to leave the port and go to Sissel, and you will go with me as my personal advisor! "
"A mission?" Donald frowned: "Could it be... something went wrong in the previous naval battle?"
"how do you know?"
The Duke of Ham subconsciously hid the battle report in his hand, and fixed his eagle-like eyes on Donald.
"Because there is no second thing that can make Insman show favor to Sissel, the second most powerful country on the sea... and the recent major events in the kingdom seem to be related to the sea. If my guess is correct, it should be the one just received Is it the battle report? Could it be that our Admiral Feli suffered a disastrous defeat?"
Donald answered quietly.
"No! More serious than that!"
Duke Ham closed his eyes in pain: "It's gone...our steel armada!"
"..."
Donald returned silence: "This is really sad and unfortunate news!"
"That's right... Our Minister of the Navy passed out the moment he got the news... The sinking of more than forty steam and steel ships is an unbearable loss for our country... Of course, there are tens of thousands Insman Navy lads, and their families in need of appeasement..."
Duke Ham said sadly.
"Why on earth, did we encounter a storm? Or some kind of irresistible factor?" Donald asked quickly.
"No, this is a complete failure. The main force of the navy led by Admiral Feili lost to Pirate King Roach in a head-to-head confrontation... This is a shame for all of us Insman!"
Duke Ham gritted his teeth.
"It looks like... many of our colonies in the open sea, as well as many interests, are about to be lost..." Donald's eyes rolled quickly: "So, we need allies, and there is no doubt that Sissel is the most suitable, because It is the only powerful country that can catch up to us in the navy... How many benefits and colonies does the kingdom plan to cede to it?"
"It depends on the result of my mission, so I need your help..." Duke Ham looked at Donald sincerely.
"It really should be like this, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!" Donald murmured, "The power of this group of pirates is beyond our expectations, and once pirates prevail, think about what terrible things will happen The thing? Ocean trade will be cut off by half, and no ship will dare to go to sea, unless it is a pirate ship flying the skull and skull flag! I think...we can publicize the dangers of pirates, and at the same time not only win over the Sissel family, but should win over All the countries on the continent of Ofar, build an anti-pirate alliance!"
Insman is just an island country. Although the previous navy was great, the army really didn't have much power on the mainland.
What's more, although it had a huge invincible fleet before, it was only compared to other countries.
If all other countries united, the ships, tonnage, and number of crews would be beyond Insman's reach.
"Anti-piracy alliance? Is this possible?"
There was a gleam in Duke Ham's eyes.
"Of course it is possible. As long as we exaggerate the evil deeds of pirates a little, those ship owners will not want to see pirates completely monopolizing this source of income...Trade and profits. In terms of pursuing this goal, we and Ofar Other countries on the continent share a common language, and this world is very big... The strength of the Insman family may not be able to monopolize the trade needs of the entire world. Therefore, we need exchanges and cooperation, and the integration of the entire Ofal region will become a trend in the future... I will discuss this in my new book..."
Donald talked eloquently.
"Very well, I think it is definitely the most appropriate decision to invite you to be my advisor."
The Duke of Ham almost clapped: "Excellent insight!"
In fact, he also understood the unfinished meaning in Donald's words.
Even if Sissel can be won over, the Royal Navy, which does not have much strength at this time, will become a vassal.
But if an alliance is formed, everyone is an ally, which is a little different.
After all, the previous Insman couldn't compare with the total navy of the entire Ofal continent, and Sissel was even more so.
...
"Very well, it seems that Insman's defeat has actually promoted the emergence of the alliance!"
In the sea of nightmares.
With the howling of the pirates, Insman's fortifications on a large island were completely reduced.
A navy captain with a gray face came out leading other soldiers who were still able to move, and offered his saber to the complacent pirate.
This scene was staged one after another in the sea of nightmares.
What it represents is that the pirates have regained all the territories that Blackbeard of the Nightmare Sea had originally held with an easy attack like a parade.
"In this way, the golden route full of wealth is completely under my control!"
Fang Yuan smiled and looked at the direct line behind him.
In the sea of nightmares, a pirate governor is needed, and of course he can only be promoted from his direct line.
Therefore, these subordinates have been working very hard recently.
"But... our future actions also need to be changed. Just like those pirate governors, we need to change our way of thinking. We can only obtain temporary wealth through plundering, but we will kill the hen that lays golden eggs... ..."
"Also, the world is too big. With our strength, it is impossible to fully develop it. Therefore, we cannot do without the participation of the Ofar continent."
"So, if we control this route, we have to collect protection fees like Insman's Solomon Strait, and sink all ships that dare to oppose us... At the same time, to attract more capital, you can't count on a group of pirates Go do business! In the end, I hope you will become protectors of maritime trade, not destroyers!"
The promulgation of the Piracy Code is only the first step in regulating piracy.
And the next thing is to directly interfere with the 'free' nature of pirates.
Forcibly changing the nature of a profession, what consequences will it bring?
The details of the reforms that Fang Yuan wants to carry out can completely refer to those emperors who wanted to mobilize the interests of the officials, gentry and bureaucrats in ancient times.
He could have fully anticipated the ensuing backlash.
If you support the past, you can truly grasp the lifeline of the ocean like Insman, and build an extremely brilliant maritime empire.
As for the fate of not being able to support it, naturally there is no need to talk about it.
"During this backlash, those evil gods will definitely not be able to help but make a move, right? I'm really looking forward to it..."
Fang Yuan licked the corner of his mouth.
In Donald's body, he has already felt the essence of that deep-sea periscope.
Although the opponent is very strong, he is still not as good as him, the heart demon who masters two great ways.
Ordinary people who want to reform naturally have to face backlash. The simplest and crudest thing is physical erasure.
But Fang Yuan is different.
His own extraordinary power is enough for him to block many assassinations and push them forward.
In the end, there will be a torrent that affects the world.
"Everything will be revealed at that time!"
Fang Yuan glanced at these subordinates with some inexplicable meaning.
