They don't want me to work harder

It’s feasible, you can try it!

This Charlie is simply a genius...

[You accepted the suggestion in full]

[Soon, your pirate group suddenly became a special case in this sea area. While fighting bravely, it also had strong discipline, and its reputation spread far and wide.]

[You have also changed your tactics of robbery and bribery, established smuggling relationships with indigenous tribes in nearby waters and greedy colonial city owners, cultivated personal friendships, greatly improved the living environment of the pirate group, and expanded their income channels. 】

[After three years of this, you will begin to be evenly matched with the Evil Wind Pirates]

[On this night, you touched the threshold of gold, and you realized that the time has come]

[Relying on the intuition developed through many years of pirate life and the intelligence collected by Charlie, you accurately predicted the action route of the captain of the Evil Wind Pirates]

[You assembled three of the best warships, attacked the enemy fleet at night, and achieved success in one fell swoop]

[You personally killed the leader of the Evil Wind Pirates, ending the nightmare that happened many years ago]

[That is, at this moment, you are promoted to the first level of gold]

the other side.

"A great victory? Two years earlier than expected..."

Richard originally thought that this decisive battle would happen when Veronica's power could stably overwhelm the Evil Wind Pirates.

Unexpectedly, Veronica's talent in fighting was stronger than he thought, and she was a classic intuitive player. Usually, as long as Richard provided sufficient resources, she would be able to perform a set of operations. Win more with less.

That's good, the first part of the plan has been successfully completed, and the next step is...

[This evening, Veronica invites you to her room again. This time, she is much more sincere than before]

...I will never change my stubbornness!

The corners of Richard's mouth curled up slightly, his stubbornness rising.

Hey, you covet my beauty?I won’t give it!

[Charlie refused to go to your bed, and then handed you a thick stack of documents and asked you to review them tonight]

Veronica couldn't hold herself any longer.

After so many simulations, this was the first time she seriously wanted to find a partner. Not only was she rejected twice, but the partner even gave her homework?

Who is the captain?Do you want to go down and conquer up?Then come up!

Really, I can’t bear it anymore...

As a pirate, I always have to get whatever I like!

Little brother Charlie, since you don’t eat and drink as a penalty when toasting, don’t blame your sister for using some not-so-gentle methods~

Huh?wait……

[The governor of the Holy Roland Empire on Shire Island has sent an envoy to you, wanting to discuss some confidential matters]

Richard also saw the news.

He understood immediately that after the Evil Wind Pirates were destroyed, the empire wanted to find a new tool for itself.

They don't really care who wins or loses, as long as they have someone to do the dirty work.

As long as Veronica agrees to this, she will be able to sit back and relax and make a lot of money in the next few years.

But for Richard, this was of no value.

Firstly, joining the Empire was stable but lacked ups and downs and was not dramatic enough. Secondly, although he was far away on Divine Grace Island, as a staunch anti-imperialist, he still wanted to try to weaken the Empire.

Maybe letting the empire worry about colonial affairs can delay its southward invasion?

However, this requires him to convince Veronica...

[You hope Veronica refuses the Governor’s solicitation, and the other party asks you why with a smile]

[Veronica thinks this is a good job, safe and profitable. Although she has to be forced to do dirty things, she is a pirate and has nothing to avoid.]

[She looked at you with a mischievous smile and claimed that it wasn’t like she couldn’t change her mind, but she needed you to make a little effort~]

Okay, wait for me here, right?

Oh, woman.

However, even at this moment, Richard had no intention of sacrificing his body—hey, it’s just you!

He had a better way of persuading.

[You raised your head and said sternly: "Why would you lie, captain? You are obviously the most unwilling person!"]

["A woman who wants to conquer the ocean will never be a dog for the empire!"]

Yes, Richard's trump card is Veronica's own character.

Although he was separated by the simulator, after several rounds of incidents, he still figured out the captain's temper.

Even though Veronica has many advantages that ordinary pirates do not have, in essence, like other pirates, she yearns for freedom, hates restraint, is greedy and ambitious!

Otherwise, why did she become a pirate with such strength instead of a highly paid consultant in the Governor's Mansion?

[Facing your suggestion, Veronica smiled half-heartedly, nodded, and then shook her head]

what does this mean?

Chapter 64 It’s time to pour the tea leaves into the sea

He actually said such words to me. This man is getting bolder and bolder.

Looking at the information in front of her, Veronica couldn't help but review her not-so-long life.

After losing her parents on that nightmare night and becoming a vampire, she boarded a pirate ship for revenge and became an enemy of the Evil Wind Pirates. So, why did she choose to become a pirate instead of a bounty hunter? Or defect to other powerful vampires?

Yes, Charlie is right, there is only one answer...

She is a born pirate!

He is happy with grudges and does not want to be bound by anything. He will use violence to get what he wants!

Ha, that's right, I will never be a dog to the Empire. What I want to do is to gallop the sea and conquer this ocean!

but……

Rather than conquering the ocean, she now has someone she really wants to conquer...

[You agreed to Charlie’s proposal, but also gave a condition: If you really become the ruler of the ocean in the future, then Charlie must fulfill one of your requirements]

Richard raised his eyebrows.

Require?

What a third Zhao Min.

Are you still lusting after my body under such circumstances?

Anyway, seeing as the captain has been able to endure it until now and hasn’t used force yet, it’s not that he can’t agree... Anyway, it’s a matter of the future, and it’s hard to say whether he can honor it or not in the future!

[You and Veronica have reached an agreement and decided on the development direction of the pirate group]

[You rejected the invitation of the Imperial Governor and robbed the merchant ship of the Imperial Company, becoming a fearsome pirate group famous far and wide]

[As a price, you will soon enjoy the empire's retaliation.However, the environment of the Divine Grace Islands is complex and the forces are chaotic. The empire’s power here is extremely limited and there are many enemies. You finally withstood the blow]

[In the next few years, you and Veronica divided the work. You were responsible for the staff and logistics of the pirate group, and Veronica was responsible for decision-making and combat]

[Although on the surface you are still in a relationship between captain and crew, and you have not made any deeper progress with Veronica, many people regard you as partners. After all, you go to the captain's cabin every night - but where are they? I know, you are either going to deliver food or leave homework]

[Gradually, you have a stable base, a fleet of twenty warships and armed merchant ships]

[From a certain perspective, you are already a small country on the Divine Grace Islands, and you can no longer be described as a pirate group]

The situation looks good.

But Richard did not relax. In his opinion, this was basically the limit of ordinary pirate groups.

It's quite legendary, but not enough...

Still need to wait for the opportunity...

[Through the caravans traveling across the ocean, you are always paying attention to news from the Old World]

[On this day, you learned that the countries in the Old World, including the Empire and Fandan, have recently begun certain reforms. Internal strife has intensified, frictions between countries have also increased, and the level of chaos is getting higher and higher.]

[In order to obtain more resources, the empire decided to impose new taxes on the Shen’en Island colony to crack down on smuggling, and banned some industries on Shen’en Island to prevent them from competing with local companies]

[The second and third generation immigrants on the Divine Grace Islands are very dissatisfied with this. In their view, they are equal citizens like the natives, but they do not have corresponding rights, but the burden is heavier]

[They sent representatives to Idaril in the hope that the empire could change its policy, but to no avail - from the center's point of view, everything on Divine Grace Island is and is just a colony]

[You heard that on several large islands controlled by the empire, the dissatisfaction of the descendants of immigrants has reached its peak. A small number of people began to prepare armed resistance to tax, and attracted suppression by the imperial army]

This is the opportunity I want!

Richard became excited.

When simulating overseas colonies, what is the most legendary thing to do?

Of course it’s independent!

Moreover, the Divine Grace Islands themselves have been developing for a long time. The descendants of the immigrants have millions of people, and they are generally squeezed by the mainland represented by the empire. The independence tendency has long been at the limit!

Without further ado, Richard immediately went to Veronica to discuss the matter.

[When the unrest in the imperial colonies intensified, as a veteran anti-imperial force, you clearly supported the independence faction]

[Soon, you were invited to go to the interior to participate in the grand event with other important figures from the independent faction]

[Members participating in the meeting include mercenary captains, famous adventurers, descendants of nobles, big landowners and big businessmen.Among them, as the most powerful force, you have been warmly welcomed]

[At the meeting, you agreed to sign an alliance, establish a common army, and fight against the empire]

[However, regarding the command of the army, considering your status as pirates, some participating members are repulsive and do not want you to become too powerful]

It’s funny, we are indeed pirates, but when you are grabbing the aboriginal territory and secretly engaging in smuggling business without telling the governor, are you being civilized and polite?

For those who are willing to abandon the prosperous old continent and come to the Divine Grace Islands to pioneer, it is definitely a bit exaggerated to say that ten out of ten people are good enough to be hanged. After all, there are indeed people who simply love adventure... But if there are only five who are good enough, then there must be something missing. fish!

That’s all, let’s speak with strength.
