Black sail

Chapter 491 CXXV. Two Girls
Kolor Heights, inside the castle fortress.

The flickering candlelight in the lamp illuminates the sand table used for military simulations.

The Black Sail representative, Commissioner Lostra, the Masonic Front volunteer representative, and the lord of this place, the second leader of the resistance army.

"Ya Lan only focuses on the railway section. The fortresses for stationing troops and the outposts for searching for the enemy are all built nearby. There is no room for strategic detours. If they divide their troops to attack from the north, won't they be attacked from both sides?"

Unlike the all-out war that Finn believed in, Alan made enemies everywhere and was unable to cope with all the tasks, so he did not invest too much military force in Muron.

"That's why the Seventh Amendment had to get involved. They are guarding the dangerous passes of the small countries around Alan. Although the north belongs to Muron in name, it is actually in their hands. We are doing the same thing now. The Seventh Amendment is harassing and destroying the railway from the north. Before the railway is advanced, Crocodile Island must occupy the front stronghold in advance. It is Uporio who is defending it..."

The second leader suffered from pneumoconiosis due to too many explosions. His skin was dry and cracked, and he coughed constantly. His tall frame looked thin, and his face under the hood was quite haggard.

Without him having to finish, we knew that the situation was not optimistic. It had indeed delayed the progress of railway construction to a great extent, but the price was...

Chuan Che looked at a short soldier with a pale face and skinny body in the room. This guy hasn't even finished changing his teeth yet.

The Imperial Lion is unstoppable.

The Korol Highlands served as the rear base, filled with wounded soldiers retreating from the front lines. The growing despair made the second leader want to end this tragedy.

Ubolio will not succeed.

The Masonic Front cannot be counted on either.

Therefore, he never said anything about the long stay of the Black Sail garrison outside the city. Pirates are very pure and will not take action without tangible immediate benefits.

Even if these people from the East China Sea returned home now, the second leader would not be surprised at all.

The world cannot function on the basis of ideals alone.

Walman looked at the sand table diagram.

But he didn't speak.

Even though he hated Syria to the core, he understood the difference between killing a few hundred Syrians and killing millions of Syrians.

Li Site’s current attitude is just to drag it out until the end of the year. There is no need to risk one’s life with this group of people. Just do business.

No one can afford to fight a war of attrition with Alan, so Army General Crocodile Island did this. He treated Black Rock City as the rear base and stationed a large number of troops. There were also fortresses along the way. The soldiers used railway transportation for rapid support and defended a front line. There was also a steady supply of supplies from Alan, making this front line impregnable.

These resistance forces, with their flesh and blood, could only delay the advancement of the cause; it was impossible for them to succeed in the rebellion.

The resistance's last hope is to unite all external aid within the Kolor Heights and conduct a long-distance detour.

Such a large team, no matter how secretive and careful they are and how they use their geographical advantages, will definitely be discovered by scouts. As long as they can withstand all small-scale attacks along the way and launch a general attack on Black Rock City, they can completely cut off the transportation between Alan and the front line. Crocodile Island, located in the middle of Mulong, will be surrounded by the entire country.

The puppet government is just made of paper and compradors, there is no need to worry about it.

But the defense of Black Rock City is definitely Alan's strongest fortress in Muron. Even if he is prepared to die, whether he can capture it is still a matter of time and it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Black Sail is doing this without considering the gains and losses, and it is likely that it will lose money and suffer losses as well.

So Wollman didn't speak.

Finn observed the map for a while. Crocodile Island was about to be built to the middle section of Mullon, and he would soon attack the next city.

"Drifting City? How interesting! What is the attitude of the Lord of Drifting City now?"

The reason why Fen made this exclamation.

This is because at the end of the Slave Age, Drifting City was the second largest slave market in the world and the slave trading hub east of the Narrow Sea.

The largest slave market at that time was located in the territory of Gureg west of the Narrow Sea. It was formerly called Freeport, which meant that once they had a master, they would be released from the cage and gain freedom. But now, it has long been renamed Iron City.

With the rise of the magic industry, various thoughts were aroused, nationalism experienced a revival, slavery was gradually abolished by various countries, free ports were transformed into commercial ports, and Drifting City completely declined.

Fin was a little surprised that Drifting City still kept its original name. The Muron people apparently didn't mind the dark history. What a guts.

Building the railway in Alan is naturally not a straight path. After opening up the Kolor Highlands, the railway will definitely be built to the Golden Palm Port, radiating in a network to all resource areas, providing crazy blood transfusions to the empire.

Fortunately, the railway is currently in the middle and front sections and is not connected to any port city. If the Alan Navy attacks, the Marquis of Golden Palm Harbor will no longer play it safe, but will fight back desperately.

The situation is still clear. It may be difficult to delay it until the end of the year, but it is not high.

"He was killed by Ubolio a long time ago, and now it's the resistance army's territory." The second leader replied.

"Very good, we will go to Drifting City to join forces with Uporio first, and then push back Alan's battle line starting from Drifting City."

Fin asked for a portable map, made his own markings, and put it in his briefcase.

Finn also knew the issues that Worman was concerned about.

Lostra asked Black Sail to act as Black Gloves. In addition to being fully responsible for the baggage and supplies, the deposit of 3,000 gold royals to be delivered together with the supplies has already arrived.

We just have to hold on until the end of the year, and the balance from Lostra will be enough for Black Sail to make ends meet.

As for dividing up the railway interests with the Seventh Amendment and eroding Mullon’s sovereignty, this piece of meat is extremely large, but its dangerousness is yet to be determined.

The four members of Black Sail are preparing to leave.

Chuan Che didn't like this kind of occasion very much. He hated trouble. Just fight and it was over. What was there to talk about? He had already walked to the door and was waiting.

Finn packed her things as well.

"How can I help you? What... do you want?"

The second leader asked a slightly heavy question, which obviously had other implications and was full of hidden meaning.

How could Fen not hear it, and he didn't beat around the bush.

Just a few words.

"It's too early to tell now." Seeing that the second leader wanted to ask more questions, Fen could only add a few simple words: "Reward according to merit."

After saying that, Fen pushed the door open and walked out.

Walman looked at the second chief's gloomy eyes and thought, "Okay, let Glasses be the bad guy. I, your uncle, am a warrior of justice."

Leave the castle.

The four returned to the Black Sail temporary base outside the city, but did not find Li Site. Now it was getting dark, so they decided to set out again tomorrow morning and wait for him to come back to make a decision.

"How was the conversation?"

Xia Di was very unhappy about being detained by Chiyo, but there was nothing he could do. This woman had helped him before, and the old illness in his meridians and qi points was cured, and he was even stronger than at his previous peak.

"All I can say is, the Battle of Two Cities."

Wolman said so. That's almost the truth. They are almost reaching the Corrol Highlands, so they must have been sent. At present, the crystals of both sides are very clear, ours is Drifting City, and the enemy's is Black Rock City.

"Don't force it! Hey!"

Kawatoshi was speechless.

"The Two Towers."

"Tell me another one if you can! It can only be related to the battle."

Kawatoshi was not convinced.
"Two girls one cup."

"Brilliant!"

Xia Di was convinced. I was leveling up alone in the Wetlands after the rebirth of the Asian Dragon Man.

"Have you talked to Li Site about the balance?"

Finn wanted to confirm with Celine that it was the final payment, but in fact it was the child support for Fafner. If it was lower than the amount from the train robbery, it would not work. It would be best if she could invest more money.

"Weren't you being very arrogant just now?"

Serin was also somewhat intimidated by this person's strength just now, and followed suit: "Reward according to merit."

"Alright."

Finn didn't care. After all, he had Farner held hostage in Port of Heaven. Now that the communication problem had been solved, any force trying to get involved in the East China Sea could be countered immediately.
