Chapter 252 Rebuilding the Pirate Alliance
"Mother, don't worry. Catalina is no longer the weak little girl she used to be. She is now a powerful sequencer. And her talent is very strong. Maybe in a few years, her strength will surpass mine.
And a sequencer not only needs various extraordinary resources, but also needs experience. I know what she is doing and I will protect her." Feng Willow comforted his mother.
Speaking of which, sister Catalina has indeed not contacted him for a long time. The main reason is that he has been running around outside during this period. Even if he wants to contact him, he can't.
But Catalina is a pirate sequence, and she also likes the feeling of adventure on the sea. Feng Willow estimates that she is a pirate somewhere on the sea.
Perhaps with her power, she has already made a name in the pirate industry. It's just that Feng Willow has not paid attention to pirates during this period. Even if pirates are famous, they are really not worth his attention.
After sending his mother away, Feng Willow went to find Saiya. Saiya had been helping him prepare for the reconstruction of the Pirate Alliance, so she should know the news about the pirates. At least she should have collected information about the big pirates who were rampant.
"Professor, why did you come to see me at this time?" Saiya, who was handling government affairs, put down the documents in his hand and asked curiously.
"Just now my mother came to ask me if there was any news about Katarina. I guess that girl should go to be a pirate, so I want to ask if there are any famous female pirates now." Feng Willow asked directly.
"I really don't have any. If there were, I would have all the information. I have all the wanted pirate lists in all ports.
Pirates are different from merchants. If they do a good job, they will be wanted quickly. Pirates who are not even wanted or have a bounty are just amateurs.
No matter how small a pirate group is, as long as they have committed a crime, they will be wanted by all countries. This kind of wanted pirates is jointly agreed upon by the four empires. There are female pirates, but none of them fits Catalina's appearance.
Either she became a merchant, or she didn't become a pirate." Sai Ya analyzed.
"Forget it, if there is no news, then there is no news. It's useless for us to guess here. Why don't we complete the reconstruction of the Pirate Alliance first? By then, all the pirates on the entire ocean will become our eyes and ears.
Not to mention other benefits, this is most of the news in the world, and we should be able to get it easily." Sai Ya explained to Feng Willow in detail.
Feng Willow thought about it and it made sense. He could ask Light VI to use the intelligence of the empire, and he should be able to find it, but that would be a bit of an overreaction, and Catalina was not in any danger.
Before leaving, the second mate Dima also ran to find Feng Willow.
"Lord, there are already many pagans in our temple who have reached the peak of Sequence 8 in the Knights of the Guardian. Please help them hold the ceremony of Sequence 7." Dima asked Feng Willow.
"How many people are there in the Knights of the God Emperor now?" Feng Willow was also curious about how many extraordinary people there were in his Temple of Friendship.
"Lord, because of your reputation, we have developed very well recently. There are many talented apprentices among them. Now there are 500 sequencers in the temple's Knights of the Guard, and there are more than 100 strong people who are about to be promoted to sequence seven in our temple.
These people are almost all the sailors who followed you at the beginning. There are also a few who are real geniuses. After becoming sequencers, their promotion speed is amazing.
Among them is a little guy named Dirac. His ancestors were the subjects of your family. He also joined when our temple was first promoted. He is only 18 this year and is also on the list of promoted personnel in this period." Dima introduced the geniuses emerging in the temple to Feng Willow.
Of course, this is also a subtle way to show off to Feng Willow.
"Okay, then you call all those who are about to be promoted, and I will personally preside over the promotion ceremony for them. I also have the materials for the pagans to be promoted to sequence seven." Feng Willow said happily.
The more talents he has under his command, the happier he is. As for the resources he needs, Feng Willow is now a millionaire.
Not counting the unstable territory in the New World, he also has four counties in the Old World. Naturally, he needs more sequencers to protect his family.
The pagan promotion ceremony went smoothly. Everyone who saw Feng Willow seemed very happy, even a little fanatical.
Feng Willow also saw Dirac, who was about 17 or 18 years old, and he seemed very fanatical when he saw Feng Willow.
Feng Willow had encountered this kind of look many times. After preparing the promotion ceremony for this group of people. Feng Willow also told Dima that he could choose some suitable people to train, and the development of the temple in the future could be handed over to others. This young Dirac is good.
After dealing with the promotion ceremony, Feng Willow did not delay. He was ready to go to the New World.
The next day, Feng Willow took Saiyan and Taris, two people, and rode Moril, who had transformed into a giant dragon, to the New World.
However, his copper book space was already equipped with various steam machinery needed for the steam industry in the New World, as well as many in-demand industrial products.
After another half month of running around, we finally returned to the territory. Brak and Medusa worked well together and everything was on track.
Although there were natives coming to make trouble from time to time, they were all defeated by the army of undead led by Medusa.
"Lord, there have been many pirates in our sea area recently, which has caused a sharp drop in tax revenue in several cities in our territory. Because of the wandering of these pirates, many merchants have stopped coming to our territory.
Because our territory itself does not have any special products, what we have is also available in other port cities.
But we think that this is not the work of pirates. After all, if it is a real pirate, they will never let the news spread so much. If the merchants are scared away, who will they rob?
I guess it should be the revenge of Demetro's family. It's just that they are worried about your fighting power and dare not come to your door in public, so they want to use this little trick to make things difficult for us." Brak analyzed.
This Black was originally a minor noble of the Demetro family, and he was naturally very familiar with the Demetro family's style of doing things.
"Since they dare not attack, then simply don't provoke them, or directly express submission and come to give gifts. What other effect can they play by doing this, except to provoke the professor to retaliate against them?
This means of revenge is as childish as a child." Saiya said mockingly.
Feng Willow also smiled and shook his head. The head of the Demetro family was indeed a little confused.
Black did not expect that the old boss could be so stupid. It was indeed stupid and childish.
"Okay, since there is nothing going on in the territory, then we are going to go out to sea and go to Dragon Turtle Island to see what they are preparing, and by the way, we will clean up those troublemakers in the outer sea." Feng Willow said.
Saiya has been preparing for the reconstruction of the Pirate Alliance for a long time, and has sent people to spread the news in various ports. There are many people who support this matter. But there are also many people who oppose it. They are not against rebuilding the Pirate Alliance, but they are against this matter, which should be established by Feng Willow.
After all, the original Pirate Alliance can be said to be completely destroyed in Feng Willow's hands, but it has cut off the financial resources of many people. These people, including many nobles in the four empires, are also struggling to contact each other and try to rebuild the Pirate Alliance.
Feng Willow released the ghost ship and headed straight to the open sea. In the vast ocean, it is not an easy task to find people or ships.
Feng Willow wanted to find the pirates who threatened the open sea in a short time, so he could only rely on the ghost ship to search on the sea. The ghost ship can sense the location of living beings in a large range.
Now there are few merchants coming to the sea outside their territory. The ships that are sensed by the ghost ship can only be pirates.
"Only a small boat was sensed. Is it a reconnaissance ship sent by pirates?" Feng Willow controlled the ghost ship and quickly moved towards the direction where the person was sensed, but he didn't expect that it was just a small sea ship with dozens of people.
After seeing Feng Willow's ghost ship, the pirates on this ship surrendered directly.
"Which pirate group are you from? Why are you staying in the sea outside my territory?" Feng Willow asked fiercely.
"Dear Lord, we are not members of the pirate group, we are just hired adventurers, and our mission is to keep an eye on the changes in your territory every day.
When someone tries to trade here, the real pirates will naturally take action to clear out the guys who are in the way." Although the monitors don't know who Feng Willow is, since they have surrendered, they are not ready to work for their employers.
"Tell me, how did you contact the pirates and how did you contact them?" Feng Willow asked.
"We use a kind of magic to directly pass the information we see to our comrades in the nearby port." The surrendered captain answered every question without hiding anything.
"Then did you spread the news you just saw?" Feng Willow asked.
"It has been spread." The captain was not in a hurry and said whatever he had to say. He felt that he was just selling information, and his crime was not punishable by death, so he showed great cooperation.
"I know where the nearby port is." Feng Willow sensed it through the ghost ship and found the small port.
"It seems that the pirates usually hide in that port." Feng Willow said.
"No, Lord, they come from all directions, and they don't have big ships. They are all small boats like ours. They have special communication secrets. It seems that they are keeping something.
The reason why we are here to watch is to see how many people there are on the other side. If the target caravan is small, then it is possible that they will only come with a small sea ship. If it is a large caravan, then they may come with hundreds of small pirate ships." The captured captain said very cooperatively.
Feng Willow didn't understand it when he heard this. This was clearly aimed at him, fearing that he would use the plague to catch all the pirates.
But Feng Willow really didn't have a good way to deal with this kind of wolf-type pirate group. If he couldn't wipe out all the pirates, it would be useless.
He can't just stare at these little pirate ships on the sea every day, right?
"Professor, I think that since these surveillance people are hired adventurers, why can't the people who rob merchant ships be hired adventurers? Even if we clear out some of them, as long as the mastermind is still there, they can continue to send people to mess with us.
This is not what you guessed before, it's just a means to disgust us." Sai Ya analyzed.
"Do you have any solution?" Feng Wei Luo asked.
"It's very simple. We are just going to rebuild the Pirate Alliance. We can also issue tasks in the Pirate Alliance and let the pirates clear out these pirates. Anyway, we have enough extraordinary resources and money. Are you still afraid that we can't drive those pirates?
After the Pirate Alliance is rebuilt, even if it is just a loose alliance, as long as we are willing to pay, it can become a powerful tool in our hands." Sai Ya analyzed.
"What should we do with these surveillance people?" First mate Anthony asked.
"Push them back. Since they are still cooperative, we won't kill them. We will demote them to slaves and send them to open up wasteland and cultivate land!" Feng Wei Luo said.
"Professor, Dragon Turtle Island has reached the designated sea area. Now there is still half a month before the Pirate Alliance is rebuilt. I think there is one more thing that must be done." Sai Ya said.
Feng Wei Luo smiled and said: "You and I are thinking the same thing. How can the reconstruction of a big power not have an object to establish its authority?
I think the Demytro family is a very good chicken. Just before the establishment of the Pirate Alliance, they were destroyed."
"Uh! Professor, it's not that exaggerated. I just think that the Demytro family should be severely retaliated and used to establish their authority.
But I didn't think of destroying them in one battle. After all, their family's territory is not small. Half a month should not be enough to exterminate them." Sai Ya underestimated Feng Wei Luo's murderous intention.
"Half a month is indeed a bit tight, but it doesn't matter. We can directly raid the core city of their territory, Draica. To carry out the decapitation operation, as long as the main trunk is cleared, the remaining branches and leaves can be cleared slowly."
