Codex Pirates

Chapter 232 Lost Hope

The sea calendar is 1513.

The influence of the Dragon Pirates is getting bigger and bigger. In order to redeem the manpower and speed up the looting of property, the people of the Dragon Pirates are occupying more and more villages and towns. And a month ago, a navy named Brin Brin The colonel was unexpectedly attacked by them, and the entire warship he was on was wiped out, and even the colonel himself was killed, which made people look at the Dragon Pirates and their group in disbelief.

The "Donghai Shimbun" has published news about the Dragon Pirates gang at length. The civilians of the Navia Kingdom are disgusted and afraid of these vicious pirates, for fear of being attacked because of the proximity.

There is also a precedent for this. They still remember the attack on Baisong Town last year, and no one knows whether this group of murlocs will go crazy again.

It was under such circumstances that a merchant ship from the Kingdom of Falaise came to Kalmar City and brought a piece of heavy news, like a bomb, causing ripples in the city.

Cocoyasi Village, which is located in the Kingdom of Fales, and Housha Town, which is located on the same island, jointly signed a letter to Morgan Stolt William, the consul of the neighboring Kingdom of Navia, requesting to be incorporated into the Kingdom of Navia , in order to obtain the protection of the Kingdom of Navia, so that they will not continue to be oppressed by the dragon pirates.

They let passing merchant ships bring news and requests to Kalmar City. When the news spread in the city, it caused an uproar among the people.

Influenced by the "Tokai Shimbun" and other newspapers hosted by William in the territory, most of the civilians in the Kingdom of Navia know that the Dragon Pirates came from the Great Sea Route and are involved with one of the current Qibuhai, although the consul William and his Morgan Pirates have protected the safety of this country and the sea over the years, but people still don't think that William and his armed forces are enough to compete with the Dragon Pirates that have been exaggerated in newspapers. shoulder to shoulder.

The civilians know that White Pine Town in the country was once attacked by murloc pirates and the banks were destroyed, but they don't know that half of the members of the Dragon Pirates were captured by William, and Aaron was also extorted of more than one billion Baileys.

The Dragon Pirates in the newspapers are barbaric, cruel, powerful, distrust of strange races, coupled with the demonization of the news, most citizens of the Kingdom of Navia are afraid of the Dragon Pirates. understandable.

It is said that after receiving the news, the Consul began to discuss the solution with the high-level officials. So far, no results have been found. However, many people in the city do not really want William to accept the request of Cocoyasi Village and Housha Town. A group of Dragon Pirates went to war, and the merger of Cocoyasi Village and Housha Town into the territory may also lead to friction with the Kingdom of Falaise.

People in this country have just lived a stable life for two years, and they don't want to be destroyed by the war.

With various moods, people looked worriedly towards the direction of the noble district. At this time, the noble district, in the mansion of the consul, was having a meeting. The meeting was talking about the Cocoyasi Village and Housha Town. However, unlike people's imagination, the tone was set as soon as the meeting started.

How to maximize the benefits of this whole thing.

The annexation of Cocoyasi Village and Housha Town is certain, because this matter was planned by William from the beginning.

Although the villages and sea areas under the control of the Dragon Pirates have opened up trade routes, the communication between the villages and towns and the outside world is still strictly restricted, and the trade with the Dragon Pirates is actually monopolized by William's Cosmopolitan Trading Company.

Under such circumstances, it is obvious that the merchant ship that came to Kalmar City and helped Kekeyasi Village and Housha Town to send the news was arranged by William's people, and it was a ship affiliated to the Four Seas Trading Company. How could he possibly do that? Deny this request?

As for why the residents of Cocoyasi Village and Housha Town jointly signed the letter, it is also related to William.

After the first face-to-face contact with Aaron, William became more aware of his forbearance and paid more attention to collecting his information.

Of course, William quickly noticed Nami's information and the 100 million agreement that an outsider could see through at a glance as a hoax.

However, even though William found out that this agreement was a scam almost without thinking, but from the mouth of Zangao lurking in Cocoyasi Village, we can know that not only the little girl Nami, but also the villagers of Cocoyasi Village, are actually all Hopes have been placed on this agreement.

In addition, when Nami went back to the village several times, she always had scars on her body. After tracing the clues, she found that in order to make up 100 million Baileys as soon as possible and redeem her village from Aaron, Nami even did not hesitate to commit crimes and steal. Pirate's treasure.

In view of this situation, William, a benevolent man, decided to help a group of Nami and villagers in Cocoyasi Village.

Knowing that Nami is proficient in navigation and has a good understanding of sea charts, under William's arrangement, Nami obtained a treasure map from a group of pirates by "coincidence" during a theft. Get a treasure that is close to 100 million Bailey's wealth.

William guessed that the villagers of Nami and Cocoyasi Village were extremely fortunate when they got the news, and the information from Zangao also confirmed his guess.

Just after that, Cocoyasi Village and Nami knew what reality is. The reality is that when Aaron and his group can force the villagers of Cocoyasi Village to pay for their lives once a month, they will naturally be able to take away Nami. Midea's 100 million savings.

In front of Aaron, they couldn't even save their own lives, so how could they save such a huge sum of 100 million Baileys?

Because Aaron needed Nami's navigation skills, he didn't want to do too much at first, hoping to give both parties a step down, so he contacted the navy mouse colonel whom William knew under the needle, hoping that the mouse would come forward and forcefully accept this A sum of property, after the event, six or four accounts.

Colonel Mouse agreed, but then when he searched for the stolen money in Kekeyasi Village, he pretended to be unintentional and told the truth in front of the villagers and Nami.

At that moment, the villagers who insisted on a lie, cut down on food and clothing every day, and were terrified that they might not be able to pay their life money next month were completely desperate.

The most cruel thing about Aaron is that he gave Kokoyashi Village and Nami a hope of freedom, but in the end he destroyed this hope with his own hands.

In the end, the villagers in Kekeyasi Village found that their humiliation was so ridiculous. In fact, they never had any extra choices. Like other villages and towns under Aaron’s rule, there were only two ways in front of them: die now, or die now. It is to continue to live like a slave, running around and working hard every day to collect enough money to buy your life, and die until you can no longer make money.
