Black sails

Chapter 458 XCII. Yunshang Palace

Zahak was defeated in Linden City of the Principality of Bema, but the mysterious disfigured face did not kill him, leaving him a way out.

After returning home like a stray dog, he was demoted two levels, from a general to a lieutenant, and should have worked as a clerk in a small border town for the rest of his life until his death.

Although he has declined now, his family was powerful in the early years, and he squeezed through the door and gave all the gifts before he became a disciple of the Alan Sword King. He was also reluctantly accepted because of his extraordinary talent.

The relationship between the master and the apprentice for more than ten years is enough to help Zahak.

Although the Sword King is far away from the political center and has no real power, even in the continental martial arts competition in September this year, he is a person in the special seat, and the major nobles have to curry favor with him, hoping to let the newcomers in the family go there to gild themselves and learn some real skills.

Originally, Zahak encountered an opportunity. The test-operated passenger train was robbed, and the royal court needed someone familiar with the East China Sea to go and chase it.

But at that time, the East China Sea was in chaos, and the confrontation between the old overlord and the new hero caused blood to flow and corpses to float for thousands of miles.

Rather than catching the train robber to thank the world.

But more importantly, the riot in the Northern Prison ten years ago must not be exposed.

The leader of the new overlord Black Sail, who was also a train robber, was one of the masterminds of that riot.

The high-cost pursuit at the edge of the world, the royal court had made a serious mistake in the Far East, and there was a precedent, plus the protection of the dusty secret files.

Between choosing to capture the criminals in a grand manner and low-cost crisis public relations, the Alan royal court chose the latter to maximize its interests.

But the royal court would not allow a fugitive to be so arrogant.

The emperor was busy with all kinds of affairs, and these trivial matters would not be taken seriously by such people, but Black Sail had attracted the attention of some important officials in the royal court.

Recently, an informant from Alan in Golden Palm Harbor reported that the East China Sea pirates entered Alan's new vassal state, the Principality of Mulong, in a mighty force, as if they wanted to get a piece of the pie from this chaos.

The first two things can be tolerated and not a big deal, but this cross-country railway is a major event that the emperor has mentioned in person. If they dare to get involved in such a thing, then they must be treated with some eye drops.

If they don't deal with it, it will really turn the world upside down. Those who know that Li Site is the leader of the marginal areas of the world, he just killed a pirate leader in the East China Sea. Those who don't know think he killed a god.

Each military department of the royal court has its own duties.

The organization that should be in charge of Li Site in Alan is also the agency with corresponding responsibilities. It should be the Alan delegation of the Cross Alliance that specializes in killing pirates and bandits and eliminating gangs and evil.

But Li Site is no longer an ordinary thief. Catching him will poke the entire East China Sea. The Cross Alliance is really a diva this time.

So in the end, it can only be transferred to other military departments and assigned to the corresponding responsibilities to the affiliated agencies.

According to the division of responsibilities, if the reputation of Alan is affected and the laws of the country are violated, but the offender is in a vassal state or a foreign country, the matter will be handled by the military police who can arrest across borders.

According to the division of land rights, Li Site is the co-lord of the East China Sea and is a country in its own right, so it should be under the jurisdiction of the navy.

But the military police have already failed once on the east coast, so the stall naturally fell on the navy.

That's a bit scary. The army and the navy, as the sharpest swords of the emperor, the East China Sea suffered a heavy blow.

It should be like this.

However, the commander-in-chief of the navy is such a powerful figure that he can't worry about the affairs of the underworld. He has many black gloves in the narrow sea, this brother, that brother, just a group of dogs.

The orcs are a very mentally retarded race, commonly known as the stubborn ones, and they have been defeated in every attack on the northern border of Alan, but this time they have learned to be smart and have a lot of courage. They have joined forces with the Beibu Gulf people to invade. Of course, they have not reached the point of declaring war, but are just harassing and disgusting Alan, and Pedan is secretly paying money behind the scenes.

The strategic stalemate of the old powers in the narrow sea must be maintained by someone, and no bird can fly into the island chain where the troops are stationed.

The commander-in-chief has no time to care about the black society, just casually ordered the henchmen to do it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work well. This level is just a small fight for him, a game of political attitude.

He just let it go in one ear and out the other, and it is one of the least important items on the list of tasks.

So, it's time to give gifts again.

In the political atmosphere of Alan, battles that can be easily won are not handed over to people who can easily win, and people must be sent to gild them.

So, there is a dinner party tonight, the place is Du Geli, and the location is naturally the most upscale place, the Sky Hotel, Yunshang Palace.

Zahak and his follower Jin Mier will also participate in this dinner party.

The face of the Sword King cannot be ignored.

The newly promoted vice admiral of the navy is a direct relative of a certain important official of the royal court. The target of this time is very clear, that is, the Black Sail gang, and the sword king is selling face. In addition, Zahak, who has been to the East Coast for work, is also a capable subordinate.

So a big shot rescued Zahak, and nominally transferred him to the navy lieutenant.

In the Yalan military rank system, big shots can demote you at will, but to be promoted, you must have military merits. The foundation of the military government cannot be easily shaken, unless it is the will of the emperor himself.

If Zahak performs well this time, he can be promoted two major levels by punishing the most vicious organization of the lawless lunatics in the East Sea.

An open square in the center of Duguli City, the ground is quite neat.

It is unbelievable that in Duguli, where every inch of land is valuable, there is such an open area covering an area of ​​120 acres.

This is the lifting place of Yunshang Palace.

From 2 to 6 in the afternoon, fuel is replenished and overhauled. This suspended spacecraft consumes a lot of energy and can only fly for a maximum of eighteen hours. It also moves very slowly and cannot float out of Dugli. Not only is its strategic value extremely limited, it is also Not at all, just for fun.

Waiting for guests from 6 to 8 p.m., taking off at 8 p.m. and landing at 2 p.m. the next day. You can experience the night view of Dugli in the sky and watch the sunrise. There are also many world-class ladies to accompany you for a dreamy night.

Zahak, Jin Mi'er, and their current boss, Vice Admiral Quentin Bartland, and two of Bartland's entourages.

Because you are inviting others to dinner.

It's polite to arrive before others, so they waited early.

"The person I want to invite later is an officer in the navy. He has the right to organize this matter. To put it bluntly, it means giving gifts. Whoever gives more gifts will be the commander. Now the navy is counting on getting rid of Li Si. There are many people who are special. Li Site is a regional lord. According to the military merit system, the person responsible for this can be promoted to the rank of general, and you can also become a general. "

Bartlan said to Zahak.

He himself is not a well-connected person. There are many related people in Yalan, but more importantly, he must have excellent skills. Otherwise, he will be demoted in two days after being promoted.

As a Vice Admiral, Bartram is naturally a ruthless character. He has killed more people in the Narrow Sea than the fish traders have handled. He also has a ferocious face, a powerful figure, and is powerful without anger.

Zahak was nominally his follower, but Bartland did not look down on him. He was once a military police lieutenant general and the swordsman's apprentice. Although he was a lieutenant, he would make a comeback sooner or later, and he only regarded him as a friend.

"I see."

The military police had the most wine bureaus. Zahak didn't know much about these things. He just sighed about the battle of Linden City. If there were fewer people involved, would it be a different situation? He entered the imperial guard and killed his enemy, the black sword Mingyan.

There are no what-ifs.

There are also deep-hidden anti-imperialists in the royal court, and it is not known whether the emperor has heard about the dragon or whether it has been concealed.

Regarding that dragon, there were not many people in Wang Tingzhong who knew about it. Otherwise, Zahak would not be as simple as being demoted and would be able to apologize with his head.

Looking at the gorgeous celestial palace built by magic industry, the panoramic windows mixed with special glass allow the people inside to have a panoramic view of the Dugeli scenery. The interior decoration must be extremely beautiful.

This was Zahak’s first time coming to Dugli for business.

Before entering the square, there is a VIP waiting room with a huge oil painting of a rockery indoor waterfall.

Yunshang Palace requires capital verification.

Butland showed his card. At this moment, his power was demonstrated. He could definitely afford it.

There will be a waiter dedicated to distinguished users who will lead the group to the reserved room.

And at the same time.

The loser team, Ren, Ben, and Kawache, are also looking for a club. Swann and Sarrett also want to eat. They team up to spend some revenge in a big city like Dugli.

Since Galen was Li Site's more trustworthy follower, he could deny anyone's favor, but Li Site couldn't, so he had to take Galen with him as one of his own.

For someone like Micah, he actually has a beautiful woman who truly loves him.

Think about it.

You are a poor ghost wandering on the edge of life and death, almost being hacked to death every day. When you come home after a busy day, you find that your friend, who is also a prostitute, has a top-notch female confidante who has been in love with him for many years.

I just feel like the sky is falling.

If I don't find a club and pick up a girl right away, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.
