Pirates of the First Empire

The Great Passage, Kraikana Island.

This is an extremely vast island, with the top three population markets in the first half of the Great Channel. It is also a chaotic place of four wars, between franchised countries, between non-franchised countries and non-franchised countries, between franchised countries and Between non-member countries...

In addition, various mercenary gangs, pirates, and hunter forces are involved, and even naval branches in coastal towns are involved. There are countless conflicts and chaos among them. However, because the population base is large enough, coupled with the They have been fighting against each other for many years, and they already have a set of rules. Large-scale massacres rarely occur.

Because of this, the population of this huge island has been maintained, and is even growing steadily every year, becoming a rare prosperous place in the world, and even a place that many people yearn for...

However, after all, it is the interests that move people's hearts. The largest and best port on Kraigana Island is controlled by a weak country, the Kingdom of Sizkeal. Of course, fortunately, the king of this kingdom is an idiot enough to pass through the port every year. Instead of using the income to strengthen itself, it was used to pay tribute to the Celestial Dragons, to nearby powerful countries, and for its own squandering.

This made the three nearby kingdoms that were interested in seizing the "Keal Port" willing to let the weak kingdom of Cizkeal take control. After all, if the three of them fought to seize this port, they would probably end up with "Three Kingdoms". The result is that everyone will suffer."

Even if one of the kingdoms succeeds in capturing the port in the end, it will only be a miserable victory. Whether it can be saved is another matter. Even if it can be saved, the entire kingdom will be depleted of national power. , it definitely won’t be able to calm down in a short while.

Therefore, instead of taking huge risks, and after paying a huge price, it may not be possible to do such a thing, it is better to hand over the port to a small country under the joint pressure and supervision of the three kingdoms, and then The three parties each share some benefits, which is what they are now.

……

Kingdom of Xizkeal, capital.

"How's my good brother doing recently? Our plan shouldn't be exposed, right?" A young nobleman who looked very thin asked the muscular subordinates beside him.

His name is Sizkeal Bandi, and he is the biological brother and only younger brother of King Sizkeal. Because his brother and he are too different in age, his brother has already ascended the throne when he was still very young. As a king, under such circumstances, he naturally has no chance to "change his fate against the will of heaven".

Of course, he didn't feel anything when he was a child. As a member of the royal family, no matter what, the food, drink, food and housing are the best. At the same time, as the king's brother, he also made him a duke - the reason why he is not a prince, then It's because the small country of Xizkeal Kingdom is not qualified to be canonized at all.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As King Xizkeal continued to enrich his harem, and then gave birth to many children one after another, Bendy was also kicked out of the palace, and his food and clothing expenses were also reduced. Being reduced again and again...

Even two years ago, due to some trivial matters and the instigation of some "treacherous ministers" in the kingdom, he, the Duke, even had his title reduced. As the king's only biological brother, he only had the title of "Marquis" left. What a shame.

"Don't worry, sir. Everything is going according to plan. You know best what your brother is like. He should still be having fun at the Colosseum at this time. Everything is under control." The subordinate bowed and knelt down. Bendy said in his ear, although Bendy is not short, his thin figure is close to 1.8 meters tall, but his subordinate is a full [-] meters tall, so he needs to bow.

Bandi's life has not been in vain these years. Ever since he was kicked out of the palace, he has been constantly exposed to new things from the outside world. After all, the largest and best port on Kraigana Island is in their kingdom, which is also convenient. Bendy communicates with the outside world.

When he learned about the structure of his kingdom and island, he realized that his father, brother, and even his grandfather were almost inactive kings. The kingdom had been weak for a long time but had never thought about changing it. , but instead indulge in your own comfort zone every day...

Of course, he was angry. At that time, Bendy had never thought about seizing power or usurping the throne. At most, he just made a few sarcastic remarks when meeting his brother the king.

However, just like this, he still had to be demoted by his good brother for any reason. This happened two years ago, that is, from that time on, Bendy also believed that he could not continue to be hungry like that. Yes, you must take action.

Since then, Bandi has been continuously infiltrating the kingdom and the Kingdom's Self-Defense Corps for two years, hoping to become the king by launching a coup... He didn't think this matter should be difficult. After all, his brother has a strong influence on the palace and the kingdom. The level of control is actually just that, and he is cruel and mean. Considering his identity, it should not be difficult.

However, the reality was not like this. It was not until he actually took action that he discovered a terrible fact, that is-the kingdom and army of the Kingdom of Xizkeal had already been infiltrated into a sieve by people from the three nearby countries, which made him a little bit No way to start.

However, even if the thing is difficult, if he doesn't do it, who else will do it?So, Bendy started his own action. Fortunately, the people who infiltrated were not one family, but three families, so he also had room to operate.

In this way, Bandi founded his own chamber of commerce, started to make money and raise funds, and then began to place his own people in various positions in the kingdom and in the palace. Through various operations, the secrets of the Three Kingdoms started to fight, and he was behind the fire. .

In this way, after causing internal conflict in the opponent, the vacant positions were occupied by Bandi's people. At the same time, relying on the advantage of the enemy's covertness and our own covertness, they blurred the identities of the people they had placed, allowing them to On the basis of playing both sides, they can still gain countless benefits, and even use this to find out some information about the other three countries...

Now, two years have passed. Except for some people who really can't move, the entire palace, from the concubines to the maids who wash clothes, are basically his Marquis's people. It can be said that as long as he wants, He could have allowed his brother the king to choose any one of the hundred ways to die, and he would have satisfied him.

……

"By the way, what did that woman say? Did the person behind him agree?" Bendy continued to ask. The "woman" he was talking about was the queen who had just ascended the throne recently, that is, his new sister-in-law. This sister-in-law is also a high-level infiltrator. Even her true identity is that she is the daughter of a noble from the "Kingdom of Aland", a large western country, although she is a concubine.

The moment the female agent entered the palace, Bendy had already noticed her, and her identity was quickly found out.

It's sad to say that, in fact, not only the queen, but also the king's brother, there are almost no "pure people" in the harem, they are all pawns from various forces...

"Sir, the response from the Kingdom of Alande needs to be discussed in detail. After all, even if we really give up the Keal Port, they may not be able to take it. There are two other companies that have been watching..."

Bendy was not surprised after hearing his subordinate's explanation. This matter was not easy to talk about in the first place. To be honest, it was difficult for him to decide whether to abandon the port. After all, the benefits were too great.

But Bandi also understands what it means to "have a treasure in his possession". With his ability and the power he controls, and even the power of the Kingdom of Sizkeal, they are completely unworthy of having such a port. If they want to really develop If we want space, we must give up this "sweet and sour cake", otherwise, there is no need to talk about it.

This is Bandi's real "national salvation" plan. He completely abandons the port land, exchanges territory with other kingdoms, relocates the whole country, and then seeks development. Only in this way can he truly develop the Kingdom of Sizkeal.
