Start with an Archangel

"Lord...Lord." Sulawang panicked when he realized something. "The pirates have betrayed their original beliefs. Even if they are human beings, they have turned to evil. You must not be merciful to the pirates. Please execute them immediately." .I...I am willing to offer 30% of the spices, no, no, 50% of the spices are all yours."

"Asshole, you lizard man who crawled out of the mud." Daliang cursed, "Who do you think I am, coveting your spices like a pirate? You have successfully angered me, and now you and Your men get off my ship immediately.”

your ship...

Sulawang was stunned, how could this become your ship? It's obviously my boat, okay?

Sidney was stunned. How could this lord be more ruthless than us pirates? We could only steal some of their goods, but you swallowed them all, including the ship and the goods. This would be too ugly.

Julian was also stunned. What kind of lord did I follow? Could it be that the evil aura of Ergos was also infected by him? It is very possible that Ergos is too powerful, and the lord is so weak, it is inevitable to be infected... It's great, it seems that I am not alone.

At this time, the deck of the merchant ship was quiet, with only the sea breeze blowing from behind.

"Lord, this ship..." Sulawang said with trembling legs.

Daliang stopped Sulawang from making any excuses: "What's wrong with the boat? I'll give you the lifeboats tied to both sides of the boat. Get off my boat quickly, otherwise I will let my angels help you. She has nothing to do with it." I don’t have any good feelings towards any non-human creature.”

The power of the archangel suppressed all the creatures on the ship, and no one had any intention of resisting in front of Julian. Sulawang had seen the lord's face clearly and knew that if he delayed any longer, the other party would definitely not mind throwing him into the sea. The loss of the ship and cargo was not as important as his own life. Sulawang did not stop and immediately led his sailors to board the lifeboat in despair.

Watching Sulawang gradually move away, Da Liang turned to the pirates who were still in a state of surprise: "What are you doing? Is it so difficult for me to ask you to leave my ship?"

Shameless!

This was Sidney's definition of Daliang, but his expression did not contain any contempt. Being a pirate is definitely not a stubborn and pedantic person. He smiled and said to Daliang: "Dear Lord, if you Let’s get off the ship as well. I wonder how you plan to move such a large merchant ship?”

Yes! Da Liang suddenly realized that it was definitely not possible for him to move a three-masted sailboat alone, unless Julian was willing to pull the boat in front. Of course, this could only be thought about but could never be said.

"Moreover," Seeing that Da Liang did not speak, Sidney became bold and continued: "Your Excellency let those lizard men go. The direction they left just now was Shangjiang City. The news that your Excellency snatched his merchant ship will definitely be revealed to him. Report to the Shanghai Business Association, if you sail to Shangjiang City now, you will definitely be caught by them."

Da Liang was still immersed in the joy of grabbing 500,000 yuan, but he did not expect what consequences would follow. If it was true as Sidney said, sailing to Shangjiang City by himself would definitely be a trap. But since Sidney said that, he must have other ideas, so Daliang asked: "What suggestions do you have?"

"Cooperation," Sidney said what he thought was a bit crazy idea, "Lord, you have a noble status and your own private territory. You can provide us with many conveniences. And we pirates can provide you with invisible Light’s help, such as helping you deal with some things of unknown origin, smuggling, combating your hostile forces at sea, and providing escort for your merchant ships.”

Since acquiring the territory, Daliang has never planned its future development properly. But after this incident and seeing the wealth brought by a ship of goods, he realized that the construction of the Black Fire Territory could not rely on archangels performing arts to raise funds. Maritime trade or even maritime plunder was the way out for the development of the Black Fire Territory. .

But to build the Black Fire Territory's maritime strength, it needs ships, sailors, captains, talents in all aspects, and a complex network of relationships. Sidney's proposal moved Daliang. He knew that he knew nothing about maritime affairs. Since Sidney dared to be a pirate at sea, he must have some abilities.

Seeing Daliang's expression, Sidney knew that he was on the verge of successfully persuading the lord. He continued: "Before I became a pirate, I was a Crusader commander in the Shangjiang City Army. I have many good friends among you. If you plan to give this batch of spices to me for sale, I think I can earn you three hundred thousand gold coins."

Three hundred thousand gold coins! Daliang only received 10,000 gold coins as a reward for becoming the first lord in the world. Three hundred thousand gold coins are enough for him to build Black Fire Village properly.

"Your suggestion is very good, but..." Daliang had his own ideas. He looked at Sidney and his subordinates and decided to pretend to be a tiger and eat a pig: "You are not strong enough to discuss cooperation with me. I now ask If you are loyal to me, you, your people, and your ship will join my Black Fire Territory."

Sidney didn't expect that Daliang had such a good appetite. After devouring a ship's worth of goods, he planned to push away his pirate group. He regretted talking so much to this greedy guy. If he had left earlier, the current scene would not have happened.

"I'm really sorry, Lord. My crew and I just want to be free pirates and don't want to join anyone's army."

Daliang said: "Don't rush to refuse, listen to what I say before making a decision. If you agree to join my army, I can appoint you as the military commander of the Black Fire Fleet, and at the same time, I can immediately allocate 500 soldiers to join your command. , has full authority to handle the maritime affairs of the Black Fire Territory. At the same time, after selling this batch of spices, I can give you 200,000 gold coins to train your fleet. Of course, you can also choose not to agree, and I can kill you. Catch up with those swamp people and kill them so that no one knows that I stole these spices. I have my own territory and can slowly sell these spices. Selling 500,000 gold coins is definitely not a problem for me. .”

After saying that, Da Liang stared at Sidney, wary of a sudden attack from the obviously skilled former Crusader.

Of course, Sidney didn't know that as long as he made the slightest move, he might scare the lord in front of him into jumping into the sea. Of course, he would also be quickly killed by the archangel who counterattacked. Daliang's words made him fall into deep thought. It was obvious that the lord in front of him must have considerable power, otherwise he would not be able to mobilize 500 soldiers so easily, and he would also be willing to spend 200,000 gold coins to train the navy of his territory.

Sidney may not be afraid of death, but commanding a fleet is a big temptation for him.
