Casting spells

Once the two classes are completely stabilized, the pirate kingdom, and even the future pirate empire, will become extremely stable...

Chapter 320 Awareness of Suffering

"That's right! I want to buy a batch of slaves from you, not the garbage sent by slave traders. You should be very clear that those primitive people from the hot islands in the south have nothing but cheap and docile Other pluses. I want a workforce that can be productive right away, not idiots who need to spend a lot of time and experience teaching them how to farm."

Hasata obviously knew what the primitive people on the island looked like, and made no effort to hide his contempt and disgust.

Of course, there is another more important reason he didn't say, that is, if the territory is full of these extremely weak waste, how can he form a qualified private army?

As a smuggler who always risked being hanged, he knew too well the importance of strong force for a feudal lord.

The canonized pirate captains can naturally select a group of people from the fierce subordinates to form their own personal guards and private troops, so as to protect their rights and majesty from infringement.

As for the slaves in charge of the work in the territory, they must be as docile as possible. They don't need to know much knowledge or experience, they just need to be honestly bound to the land.

But for businessmen like Hasata who have been promoted by providing various services to pirates, it is quite difficult to form a qualified private army.

Without a decent private army, how can businessmen maintain an advantage in future internal competition?

Is it possible to earn a lot of wealth entirely by doing business, and continue to pay tribute to those pirate captains with powerful force in exchange for their protection?

Any businessman with a bit of common sense would not think this is a good idea.

Because Kong has huge wealth but no strength to match it, the ending must be [-]% a tragedy.

These guys who haven't even got rid of their original pirate status and are still full of thoughts of burning, killing and looting will definitely use all means to plunder the property of merchants in a weak position, without even considering that both sides are nobles of this kingdom at the moment.

To be exact, no pirate would treat a merchant as one of his own.

On the contrary, although the merchants helped sell Qianglai's stolen goods and brought back the most urgently needed supplies, in their eyes, they were a group of out-and-out vampires.

When dealing with wealthy businessmen, the attitude of pirates is often envious with a hint of jealousy and hatred.

So even if it is for the sake of future generations and the family he has finally established, Hasata will obtain his own armed force even if he does everything he can.

And the source of this armed force is precisely the source of slaves.

Buying trained fighters directly from slave merchants is obviously too expensive, and it is very difficult to control. Maybe they will be killed by the slave fighters who resisted the riot before the pirates do anything.

After thinking twice, he finally set his sights on the local residents.

As long as there is enough nutrition and strict training, people living in this land can basically become qualified soldiers.

Shapeshifters have a certain degree of thinking and emotional perception, and can easily see through the desires hidden in the merchant's heart.

He gently put down the empty cup in his hand, and asked in a meaningful tone: "Apart from ordinary slaves, do you want an officer who is familiar with the training methods of the army?"

"I... I don't know what you're talking about..."

Hearing the words "officer", a row of beads of sweat from the secret mother appeared on Hasata's forehead in an instant, and he looked very nervous and guilty.

"Don't try to deny it. I can see that you want to get rid of the embarrassing situation now. The foundation of the nobility is land, and the land is linked to the population. Generally speaking, the more people controlled in the territory, the more people the nobility The stronger the strength, the ability to recruit and raise more private troops. But our new kingdom is different, the nobles here have not been closely connected with the land, and even most of the canonized guys are not Realizing what a qualified nobleman should look like, let alone what a powerful advantage the force you possess is. But you realize it, and try to make up for the gap in some way."

While watching the businessman's flickering eyes, the shapeshifter unhurriedly revealed the thoughts in the other party's heart.

Because from Hasata, he saw a possibility, a shortcut to make the island kingdom stronger quickly.

You must know that a long time has passed since the start of the war. Even if the news is blocked, the rulers in other surrounding areas should know that they have just replaced a new neighbor, and this neighbor is cruel and greedy. Attack every port city along the coast.

This also means that with the end of the actions of the internal rebels, those who feel threatened or feared will soon unite to launch a siege against the new regime.

Only by surviving this wave can we really gain a firm foothold.

As for not being able to survive...

Well, the shapeshifter suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

With the support of the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, how could it be impossible to survive even this small test.

What's more, there are still a few interesting gadgets in the hands of the King of the Sea.

"Lord Earl, I admit that I do have a little bit of thought. But please don't get me wrong, I definitely have no intention of betraying His Majesty or the kingdom, I just want to better integrate into it." Hasata was obviously scared, Carefully defending himself.

He wasn't sure if the man in front of him, who was valued by the King of the Deep Sea, would make drastic moves.

After all, pirates who have been engaged in burning, killing, and looting for a long time often have varying degrees of nervousness. They may be chatting and laughing one second, and will pull out their weapons and chop off your head the next second.

"Misunderstanding? No! I did not misunderstand. On the contrary, I am full of admiration for your actions. It would be great if all the enshrined nobles had your sense of urgency." The shapeshifter stretched out a hand and patted The merchant's shoulder encouraged.

Hasata was stunned for a moment, and asked in an uncertain tone: "So...you agreed to my request?"

"Not only agree! I will also give you extra support. But the premise is that you must promise me one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Swear allegiance to me and the forces behind me!"

"The forces behind you!"

"Yes! You don't think that someone like me will be loyal to the King of the Sea, do you? No, he is just a pawn manipulated by us. As long as you swear allegiance, I will not only help you build a powerful private army , will also make you the leader among merchants, and even one day replace the king of the sea and become the master of this land..."

The first thousand and 320 chapters wake up

"Interesting. Through coercion and lure, the shapeshifters under you have established a secret alliance among the pirates that is independent of the ruling system of the King of the Sea. Tell me, is this necessary?"

The boy held the information that had just been delivered by the leader of the shapeshifters himself, with a playful expression on his face.

You must know that the King of the Sea and the huge pirate force under his opponent are just one of his many pawns to push the world into chaos, not even the most important one.

Because he has always been very clear about who the real enemy he needs to face is not the secular regime, but the thirteen traitors hidden behind the secular regime, and the guy who gave them information in the first place.

The turbulence and chaos created right now are all tentative bait, and it is not worth wasting too much time and energy, even if they are all eliminated.

Of course, before they are eliminated, they must be fully utilized.

The leader of the shapeshifters responded with a smile: "Yes, I think it is necessary. You are leading an expeditionary force for the first time, so you don't know much about our way of thinking. In the eyes of our shapeshifters, every supported Inside the target, there must be at least two different factions. In this way, if anyone tries to escape from the control, or betrays the expeditionary force, my people can launch a big cleansing in the shortest possible time, so that everything can be restored. Back on track. The King of the Sea and his pirates are already a chess piece that cannot be ignored, and I think the last insurance is very necessary."

"So you chose smugglers? A special group that is very difficult to integrate into pirates?" the boy asked with great interest.

The leader of the shapeshifters nodded seriously: "That's right! Because according to traditional thinking, pirates and businessmen should be opposites.

The former is full of greed for getting something for nothing, and they are more willing to use violence to snatch what they want than to get what they want through trading;

The latter is just the opposite. Only when the deal cannot be reached, they will have to choose to use violence.

This fundamental difference determined that most pirates could never accept smugglers, and it was also impossible for smugglers to believe that pirates would really abandon their old habits and abide by the rules like real nobles.

The two sides did not trust each other from the beginning, and then formed an invisible separation zone.
