The Black Duke of the Pirate

Late at night, Dawn arranged for guards to be on guard around the city gate, but considering that the rioting civilians were currently unsettled, they prepared to go out for inspection.

"Brother." Roentgen also came out.

Mingxiao was slightly confused, and saw that his expression was a little solemn: "What's wrong?"

"There may be something wrong with Harvey." He thought for a while and finally expressed his thoughts.

Harvey seems to have been in contact with the nobles in the city.

After he finished speaking, Mingxia understood something. Mingxiao would not believe Harvey in the first place, but he did not expect that in just a few days, Harvey seemed to be stabbing him in the back. The three thousand refugees he led were crucial.

The group of refugees could not be commanded by Dawn at the moment, and the main combat force against the Royal City soldiers still needed those refugees. After thinking about it, Dawn asked again: "What do you think?"

"The guard told me that Harvey may have had private contact with the nobles tonight." Röntgen came over and lowered his voice.

Dawn's gaze paused: "What do you mean, he may have reached some kind of agreement with the nobles in advance to harm me?"

"As long as you die tonight, brother, this riot will naturally be quelled. Compared to the empty promises of brother, the nobles can give him more." Röntgen continued, whether it was actual benefits or potential future benefits, he

Of course it is not as good as what the nobles gave.

What he can currently give is a deposit of more than 20 million Baileys and subsequent promises. In the eyes of the nobles, these can completely satisfy Harvey, and the nobles can give Harvey more, which is something that Dawn cannot do.

.

"Will he come to kill me tonight?" Mingxiao seemed to have rationalized his thinking. In the past few days, he had been planning riots and had no extra energy to consider additional risks.

Death is the best way to solve problems. Once you die at dawn, everything will fall apart and cease to exist.

Dawn's eyes were calm: "Let's see tonight if Harvey will come and kill me."

Mingxiao originally wanted to keep him alive for a few more days, but it seemed that keeping him alive was always a hidden danger.

As long as you kill Mingxiao, you can use his head to sacrifice to the nobles to obtain huge benefits.

Even if the nobles repent, he doesn't have to worry. At worst, he will continue to lead the refugees to deal with the nobles of the royal city, and even let the riot continue to ferment. After all, the momentum of the common people has been incited, and the main force of the riot is also the three thousand refugees he leads.

.

No matter how you look at it, Harvey is the one making the profit, but when Dawn realizes the problem, she becomes defensive and just waits for Harvey to come to her door.

He can't get into trouble now.

"Then what should we do next?" Röntgen couldn't guess what Mingxiao was thinking, "We just surround the Royal City of Polkaya, and we probably won't be able to hold on for a few days."

Mingxiao also knows very well that riots or rebellions in this world are different from those in previous histories. Success cannot be achieved by relying on a large number of civilians to participate in the war.

This is a world where the strong are respected, and personal strength is the basis of everything. Harvey's decision does not matter, and the direction of the nobles in the royal city does not matter, because these people are not strong enough to kill him.

What he is most worried about now is that the Doflamingo family in Beihai and the evil army of Germa 66 will get involved. Once the nobles of Polkaia Royal City reach cooperation, Dawn will definitely be defeated.

In addition to Doflamingo, who is a Shichibukai, the Doflamingo family also has four major colors and several powerful cadres. Any one of them is enough to defeat Dawn, who is currently unable to perform slashing attacks and understand the realm of iron-cutting.

"Wait." Dawn thought for a long time and only said one word, which surprised Röntgen. "Just wait?"

Mingxiao had carefully analyzed this riot before planning it. Not to mention whether the nobles in the royal city could contact the Jerma 66 Kingdom. Even if they invited the Jerma 66 Kingdom to quell the riot, the other party would not necessarily be interested in it.

Interested, how much does it cost for a riot in a small country to get Germa 66 to take action?

Besides, this time is not a war, just a riot. Kotok originally did not want to spend too much financial resources and troops at such a critical moment, and he would not invite Jerma 66 to participate in the war regardless of the cost, because it was not a good deal.

Buy and sell.

Considering that Doflamingo is a very ambitious and heroic figure, and with Kotok's IQ, he would know that asking him to quell the riot would be tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house, which would be even more dangerous.

After all, everything Ketok has prepared is to replace Marlie I and become the real leader of the kingdom. If too much financial, material, and manpower is spent here, Prince Clovis, who has already lost power, will have an opportunity.

.

According to Harvey's strange behavior, Dawn analyzed that Harvey may come to assassinate tonight. If the assassination is successful, all riots will naturally be solved. If the assassination fails, it is very likely that Kotok will send someone to negotiate tomorrow to temporarily quell the riots.

, to buy time for him to take over as king.

"After tonight, everything will be clear." Dawn looked up at the dark night sky.

At twelve o'clock in the night, Dawn was lying in a simple house. Although there was no light in the house, he did not sleep. He just crossed his legs, put the sword by his side, and quietly closed his eyes to meditate.

The sound of low footsteps clicked, and with his senses far beyond ordinary people, he could tell from the subtle steps that there were more than ten people in the outer gate, so he smiled slightly, took the sword in his hand and stood up.

Outside the door, Harvey felt a little nervous. He had witnessed the entire process of the riot and knew that Mingxiao's strength was far superior to his. If it hadn't been for the surprise, there would have been no chance of killing him.

The nobles in the royal city promised huge benefits, so he had to do this.

He also thought carefully and felt that it was completely feasible. Even if the nobles went back on their word, they could still fake the scene of being assassinated by the nobles at dawn tomorrow and continue to lead the riot team to surround the royal city.

Both positive and negative are beneficial to oneself. As the saying goes, wealth can be obtained through risk. This risk is worth taking.

"You guys wait outside, and rush in immediately if there is any movement." Harvey ordered in a low voice, and the ten men behind him nodded with weapons in hand.

After a while, Harvey took advantage of the darkness to touch the house where Mingxia lived.

Squeak... The door opened, and the room was dark. Harvey's strong body took a step forward, and felt a strong momentum spreading. It was like being covered by waves in the sea.

He was startled, and just as he was about to draw his weapon, the room lit up, and the candle was lit at some point.

Harvey!

In a daze, a low and angry candle flickered. Harvey looked at him in panic and stammered, "Ah..."

The men hidden in the dark night looked at each other with surprised expressions, and then immediately and quietly moved toward Mingxiao's house.

"Po...Bolkin..."

Looking at the cold-faced young man across from him, he felt a little flustered because of his guilty conscience, as if Bolkin had been waiting for him.

The atmosphere was a bit stagnant.

"Harvey, what's wrong with me at this late hour?" After a while, Dawn finally spoke.

Mingxiao's face returned to normal at this time, and there was no sign of anger. But what chilled Harvey was that Mingxiao's left hand had been placed on his left waist to command the sword. Who knows if he would suddenly be struck by the sword?

.

"I...I have something to discuss with you." Harvey replied intermittently.

Dawn's progress suddenly stopped again, and she seemed to be listening to his explanation with great interest: "Oh, is there anything you need to discuss with me at this time?"

How could Mingxiao not notice this kind of evasive words?

Harvey knew that it was impossible to kill him tonight, and was immediately ready to reveal all the details of the huge benefits promised to him by the nobles.

"About the nobles of the Royal City during the daytime..."

At this moment, bang... the half-closed doorman suddenly burst open, and several refugees jumped in and shouted to Harvey: "Boss."

When the refugees first came in, they were stunned when they saw this situation. They felt a strong oppressive momentum from the bottom of their hearts. The weaker the person, the more clearly they felt and the more affected they were by this momentum.

"Old..." Before the refugee finished speaking, Mingxiao sneered, "Harvey, is this how you come to discuss things with me? It's such a big show."

"Misunderstanding...misunderstanding." Harvey rolled his eyes a few times, said with a smile, and then scolded his subordinates: "You idiot, go back, there are no rules at all."

The refugees were about to leave, but Mingxiao spoke again, saying calmly: "Since I'm here, it's time for you to see the sword moves I just figured out."
