Demon Royal Family

Sting looked surprised and looked around. Everyone here was Ivo's old team. She didn't expect that she could also be trusted.

At this time, Sting was wearing a classic assassin outfit, with long brown hair hanging loose, and her bangs covering the upper half of her face. Ender looked at her quietly, his face slightly red.

Ivo didn't care about Sting's identity as a traitor to the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood suffered drastic changes, and even Hades wisely temporarily severed ties with the Brotherhood.

Everyone but Sting was sitting upright, no doubt.

Sting hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Ivo smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just tell me."

"I want to know... what is your ultimate goal?" Sting explained: "Whether it is at sea or on land, there is always a reason for developing power."

Ivo chuckled: "Do you need a reason?"

"Don't you need it?"

Ivo raised his eyebrows and pointed at the several daggers tied to Sting's leather belt, "Then is there a reason why you practice the assassin's way?"

"In order to protect myself, only strength can support my survival."

Ivo smiled and said, "My answer is the same. No matter what the goal is, it is empty talk without power. Even if it is just to survive, you must develop power."

Sting nodded.

Ivo glanced at everyone and saw that there were no other questions, and said: "It seems that everyone has no questions. Let me talk about my duties first. Now we have six ships, and each ship needs a person to give orders. Changfeng The captain of the Paladin cruiser is me, and the captain of the Paladin cruiser is Goldo... Well, I didn't let him attend the meeting. Barlow, Hades, Ender, and Stonehoof, the four of you will serve as captains of the armed merchant ships. , you make your own arrangements for the appointments on the ship, and you will select the new people to serve as crew members later."

"Rhode, you used to be an instructor in Liema Town. You and Stonehoof both served as charge captains. Their usual duty was to train new recruits. Although the Hurricane Regiment and the Prisoners are good in strength, I need more combatants so that I can replenish them at any time. ."

"Gavin, you serve as the intelligence director and inspect the status of each ship at any time. Except for me, every captain has to report to you and organize information and record it at any time. I need to understand the daily changes in the fleet, as well as all the minor and minor matters. You are responsible for everything and arrange the manpower yourself.”

"Sting, I will assign some new people to you for training. Your responsibility is to teach them assassin skills, cultivate elites who are good at assassination, and contact the traitors of the Brotherhood you know as soon as possible to see if there is any chance to win them over."

Everyone nodded, knowing their responsibilities.

The crew has increased to more than 1,600 people, but the only ones who are capable and trustworthy are the few in front of them. The other crew members are either not capable enough or have not gained trust for the time being.

From the time he started on the Odin Continent until he left the Hokuriku, the power Ivo could use increased to a point that could not be ignored. He had many capable officers under his command and various materials worth billions of Benas, which laid the foundation for initial development.

Ivo knocked on the table, focusing everyone's attention on the sea chart on the table, and said in a deep voice: "We have manpower, supplies, and warships. The next step is to gain enough status on the sea and establish a stronghold. , ports, form a chain of interests, and the most important issue is which sea area to choose.”

Everyone was refreshed and knew that the key was coming.

The map of the entire world is drawn on the sea chart, with five continents and thirteen sea areas.

Ivo said slowly: "The sea lacks supervision, and the enemy cannot determine our whereabouts. We need to establish a chain of interests on the sea, and at the same time avoid the pursuit of those kingdoms, regimes, and forces. The sea area to be chosen must be in a state where there is no overlord to control, Two conditions outside the major spheres of influence..."

Five continents, north Frigga, Theodin, south Carthage, southeast Muir, and Abraham are located in the northeast. This is the general direction.

Among the thirteen sea areas, Shenwangyang is located in the center of the world and extends in all directions. However, it is too vast, has few islands, the sea weather is changeable, and there are many unsolved mysteries, making it unsuitable for development.

The Abraham Crescent Sea, the Narrow Sea and the Hot Sea of ​​the Southern Continent, the Emerald Sea of ​​the Odin Continent, the Gellert Sea of ​​the Muir Continent, the Sea of ​​Far Summer, and the Sea of ​​Mist. These seven sea areas are occupied by the pirate king who controls the sea. His power is stable. It is impossible to tolerate newcomers interfering in interests, and it is not suitable for Ivo's current situation.

The Frozen Sea is within the control of the four major kingdoms of Hokuriku. Although there is no Pirate King, both the Kuishang Navy and the big pirates are very difficult to deal with, and it is too difficult to remain anonymous within the Hokuriku, where Ivo is the most famous. , nor suitable for development.

The remaining four choices are the Mermaid Sea, the Ghost Sea, the Burial Sea, and the Shark Sea.

The Ghost Sea is a land of ghosts, adjacent to the northwest of Guangxi Ocean. Not to mention the human habitation, there are not many animals.

As the name suggests, the Mermaid Sea is the habitat of the mermaid tribe. It is located between the Southern Continent and the Muir Continent, and is adjacent to the Atami and the Gellert Sea. The mermaids use their songs to charm passing sailors, making them difficult to guard against. The ferocious murlocs can move freely in the sea. , can easily cut through the belly of a ship, and hundreds of ships sink in the Mermaid Sea every year. Ivo himself is not afraid of mermaids, but the sailors under his command are not as tough as him.

The geographical location of the Shark Sea is very complex. It is adjacent to the eastern part of the Kanwang Ocean, sandwiched in the middle by the Kanwang Ocean, the Frozen Sea, the Crescent Sea, the Gellert Sea, the Mermaid Sea, and the Atami Sea. It is connected to these six sea areas. There are a large number of sharks inhabiting it, so it is called Shark Sea. Although it is connected to many sea areas, it is actually far away from all continents, with few forces and a large area. The climate is between cold and hot, with hot summers and cold winters, and four distinct seasons.

The Burial Sea is located in the west of the world, with constant whirlpools. It is a mysterious sea. In history, countless navigators have traveled to the west without any news. This sea has buried every ship, every dream, and every ambition, so Known as the Burial Sea, the Storm Lantern, one of the five legendary battleships, made its last voyage to the Burial Sea. That was the last record left by the Storm Lantern and disappeared into the depths of the Burial Sea.

"To sum up, we only have four choices, the Mermaid Sea, the Ghost Sea, the Burial Sea, and the Shark Sea." Ivo looked around at everyone present and said slowly: "Which sea do you think is better?"

Everyone looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

Ivo chuckled, "It seems there are no objections?"

Everyone smiled.

Ivo nodded, placed his finger heavily on the location of the "Shark Sea", and said solemnly: "As I thought, the only sea area that is most suitable for us is this!"

The ghost sea is deserted, the mermaid sea is full of dangers, the burial sea is mysterious and unpredictable, and the last shark sea is in line with the current situation in all aspects. It is far away from the major spheres of influence, but it is connected to each other. It meets the conditions and is what Ivo wants. It is not to live in seclusion, but to develop power while remaining anonymous. From the perspective of resource supply and power penetration, Shark Sea is the most suitable.

Although the sharks in the Shark Sea are ferocious, they are not as dangerous as the Mermaid Sea. At least you don’t have to worry about being scuttled at any time.

There are many islands in the Shark Sea and a large population. Due to the characteristics of its transportation route, ships come and go intensively but rarely stop. The inherent power of the Shark Sea has always been weak. There is no navy and pirates are not rampant... After all, the adjacent areas There are pirate kings in the Crescent Sea, Gellert Sea and Atami, diverting a large number of pirate forces.

And once you encounter a strong enemy, you can quickly move adjacent to Shen Wang Ocean, which is simply unsafe.

Everyone discussed the pros and cons, constantly improving their conjectures, and Ivo finally made the decision to go to the Shark Sea.

Gavin suddenly asked: "Captain, since we have decided on the sea area, what is our position, sea merchant? Pirate? Explorer?"

Ender wondered: "Is this important? Isn't the captain's goal to control the island and develop power?"

Gavin said seriously: "No, positioning is very important. We know the captain's goal, but it is impossible to explain it to the crew in such detail. Our positioning will determine our style of conduct, which is a very important point."

Everyone looked at Ivo with twinkling eyes.

Be a pirate or something else?
