Chapter 231 New Plague
As for why these originally free natives were taken away as slaves, Feng Willow had his own considerations. The natives of the New World who were able to gain freedom here were all lackeys of the Dmytro family.
Whether they were natives in gangs or those who worked for various nobles, these people were either the white gloves of the Dmytro family, helping the Dmytro family to do all kinds of bad things. Or they were the contacts who helped their family to contact the native tribes, because these people were the basis for their stable rule on this land.
Basically, these natives who were able to gain freedom were all lackeys of the Dmytro family and traitors on the New World side.
Whether it was to obtain slaves later or to sell various industrial products to various tribes, these natives were needed as middlemen, that is, second dogs. Taking all these people away would just be a good way to severely hit the Dmytro family's rule over this land.
Even if their rule could not be shaken because of these things, at least it could add countless troubles to the Dmytro family. Then Feng Willow's goal would be achieved.
Secondly, after conquering a city, most of the nobles surrendered, and the wealth that Feng Willow could harvest was somewhat reduced. In fact, these second dogs and the natives of the gangs had a lot of wealth. If it weren't for the huge benefits, how could they be willing to be second dogs here?
And turning these second dogs into slaves, by the way, they can turn their property into their own spoils. Feng Willow rented so many large ships this time, the cost was still very high, and there was some pressure on the funds. It was just right to use this group of people to make a wave of blood. It was simply a good thing to kill several birds with one stone.
Feng Willow didn't trust all of these newly surrendered nobles. It was just right to take this opportunity to see who could be used and who surrendered only because of the situation.
This time, it was not only to mobilize the people to follow Feng Willow, but also to be responsible for the house search, the house search of those diehards of the Demetro family, as well as those second dogs, and the houses of the native gangs. This would involve a lot of property, which was also an opportunity for Feng Willow to see these people clearly.
What no one knew was that after Feng Willow, who had come to the city center, transformed into an eye demon, his mental power could radiate to the entire port, and the entire city had no secrets for him.
Feng Willow knew everything clearly, whether it was something hidden during the house search or something said behind his back. It was as if he was watching a farce. Who was willing to surrender and follow him sincerely, and who was the one who was forced to fish in troubled waters under the situation, in this situation, it was clear at a glance.
——
"Hahaha, I'm rich. Load all these magic crystals into our family's transport fleet and don't let anyone see them." An elderly noble whispered to his trusted nephew.
In front of him was the outer house of the former governor of the port, and it was also the place where the governor stored his property. Few people knew about this, and he, as the former governor's confidant, was naturally one of them.
This time, in the name of mobilizing civilians to go to Feng Willow's territory together, he happened to bring the real confidants of the family here to take back all the precious items he had sent over the years, and by the way, he also attached several times the interest.
That's right, he just wanted to get his things back, what's wrong with that? At least the old noble didn't think he did anything wrong, anyway, this matter was done secretly, no one would know.
But he didn't know that his every move was already under the spiritual cover of Feng Willow.
Feng Willow silently made a note in his heart, and when they packed up all the family's wealth and brought it on board, they would just clean up their whole family.
Some nobles felt that they were about to leave, so they simply robbed a wave when they left. He felt that Feng Willow would not redress the injustice of the civilians under the rule of the Demetro family. And he felt that he was robbing the Demetro family. He worked diligently for the Demetro family for so many years, and before he left, the Demetro family should give him compensation.
The entire port city fell into chaos because of the chaos of these nobles. Many civilians who had just recovered from the plague were still very weak and had no ability to resist, so they were robbed of all their wealth. Even some of the wives and daughters in the family were beautiful, and they were directly robbed by those nobles or their men.
In the midst of so much unrest, there were people who were seriously carrying out Feng Willow's orders, which surprised Feng Willow. It was Baron Black, who first proposed to join him.
At this moment, Baron Black was leading his family guards to attack the lair of an indigenous gang. The strength of the indigenous gangs should not be underestimated.
These natives are tall and strong. Although their brains are not very good, at least they are stronger than ordinary people in combat.
Especially the gang leader, who has the inheritance of the sequencer, has transformed into a werewolf more than two meters tall. Whether it is strength, agility, or recovery ability, it is far beyond the limit of ordinary people.
"Shoot!" Facing the fiercely rushing werewolf gang leader, Black looked contemptuous. Behind him were a hundred fully armed musketeers.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of gunshots rang out, and the werewolf's body was beaten. However, the werewolf's eyes were red, and saliva was still flowing from his huge wolf head. Although there were several bloody holes on his body, these wounds were not fatal to the werewolf.
The indigenous gang leader knew that if he didn't fight hard at this time, he would die, and he still rushed forward fiercely. He also knew a lot about muskets, and knew that the disadvantage of this weapon was that the attack interval was a bit long.
However, what he didn't expect was that Baron Black commanded very calmly, and the musketeers were divided into three sections and took turns shooting. He didn't give the werewolf a chance to rush up at all.
When the indigenous werewolf realized that it was not good and wanted to escape, he was shot twice, and his whole body was full of bullet holes. When he wanted to escape again, it was too late. The continuous attacks made the werewolf lose his life quickly.
Feng Willow watched Black pack all the extraordinary resources, money, beauties, and slaves found in the gang's lair in different categories. Although some soldiers secretly put some money on their bodies during the period, they did not dare to be blatant.
Then Black took these valuables and went straight to the Governor's Mansion where Feng Willow was. Instead of putting most of the wealth into their own moving team like some nobles did.
In this port, many noble families have large ships. With the contributions of these nobles and those whose property was confiscated, Feng Willow's fleet has doubled in size.
When they returned, there were more than 80 ships of all sizes, all filled with slaves and wealth. There were also many civilians whose property was robbed, who were also forced to join this returning team.
In order to show that they were doing their job seriously, some nobles pulled all the civilians whose property was robbed onto the ship, saying that they had found a bright future for them.
For this port caught in the flames of war, Feng Willow did not take action to maintain order. After all, this was not his territory. When he left, what would happen to the remaining people in this port was none of his business. When he tried to release the plague to attack this port city, Feng Willow already knew that he had no chance to win the hearts of the people.
Anyway, no matter what, the survivors of this city would hate him. Even if he stood up and behaved fairly, these people were still the subjects of the Demetro family. They will not go with him just because he behaves fairly.
On the contrary, the actions of these unscrupulous nobles can take away more people. Now these people are so angry and desperate. After returning to the territory, Feng Willow will help them to take revenge, eliminate those unscrupulous nobles, and show his fairness to the people under his rule. Then he will distribute a wave of land, and he will be the most supported lord by all the people.
These unscrupulous nobles are the chickens that Feng Willow has prepared to win the hearts of the people in the territory. However, among this group of surrendered nobles, there are still a few nobles who performed well, all of whom are young people, represented by Baron Brack, and those young nobles who stood up to support him.
Feng Willow found that Baron Brack was vicious, decisive, capable, and good at training. Perhaps the other party had guessed Feng Willow's next move. From beginning to end, he showed great respect to Feng Willow, and even when talking to friends behind his back, he showed great admiration for Feng Willow.
Even this Baron Black is a powerful Sequencer, although he did not show his Sequencer secrets during the entire battle.
But judging from his resistance to the plague, this Baron Black is at least a Sequence 7 strongman. As for being stronger, it should not be the case. After all, a Sequence 6 can become the governor who suppresses a city.
Feng Willow is now short of people. At least for now, this Baron Black has entered his eyes. As long as the subsequent performance is not so bad, Feng Willow still intends to reuse him.
A day later, the entire port was engulfed in fire, but not many people chose to put out the fire. Most of the natives had become slaves and were loaded onto the ship like cargo.
There were also a small number of civilians who chose to leave with Feng Willow. After all, their current homes had been completely destroyed. They could only follow Feng Willow to fight for their luck.
These people were treated much better after boarding the ship. After all, they were free people. They were treated similarly to the sailors on the ship, living in four-person or eight-person rooms, with a certain amount of space for activities.
Finally, there were the nobles. They were all from several friendly families, and they brought their armies and slaves together to board a ship. Some families even boarded a large ship alone to help Feng Willow transport a group of native slaves.
According to Feng Willow's original plan, he would deal with these termites here, but considering that these termites still had value and could at least win over a group of people, he generously let them live for a while longer.
Blake also boarded a warship with some small nobles who got along well. These nobles who were willing to sincerely surrender to Feng Willow were all small nobles. Originally, they were small families that were not successful in the official system of the Demetro family. This was one of the reasons why they were really willing to surrender to Feng Willow.
When they came, Feng Willow had many large ships, but they were empty. When they returned, they were full. Not counting the wealth embezzled by those unscrupulous nobles, the wealth and extraordinary resources that Feng Willow himself gained this time alone filled his copper book space.
Although this port is not large, it is also a large port with 80,000 people. Among them, 60,000 are indigenous slaves, and there are some forces such as chambers of commerce. Even in times of turmoil, no one would be stupid enough to touch these forces.
In the New World, many places cannot do without merchants. After all, the New World lacks everything, and the industrial system is not perfect. Many things need to be transported from the four empires to this side. And some sophisticated steam machinery, the four empires simply do not allow transportation to the New World.
Feng Willow's harvest this time is already very large, and naturally he will not touch these large and small chambers of commerce again.
More than 80 large ships, as well as dozens of small and medium-sized ships, formed a huge caravan, and began to return in a mighty manner.
The speed of the fleet was not fast, but the attack that Feng Willow expected did not come. It is not known whether the Demetro family did not get the news, or because they were already scared and dared not provoke Feng Willow again.
The island that everyone was afraid of encountering on weekdays when running rampant in the sea, this time, not even a single stalker was seen.
In order to transport more than 60,000 slaves back, although Feng Weiluo had many ships, it was quite crowded to carry more than 60,000 slaves, so he had to sacrifice the living space of the slaves and make them suffer.
Although these natives of the New World were strong and had strong resistance, unfortunately, under such a dense population, the plague broke out after all.
This plague will cause the patient to have a fever, vomiting and diarrhea, and within two or three days, they will die of dehydration.
"Captain, it's not good. Because there are too many slaves in prison, they eat, drink, defecate and urinate in a very small space, which leads to the plague. This plague is quite terrible, and many slaves have died." First mate Anthony came to report.
Feng Weiluo nodded. Because the population density was too high, many people would die. Feng Weiluo had expected it, but in order to transport most of the slaves back, he could only let the slaves suffer. (End of this chapter)
