Start with an Archangel

Through the admiral's words, Daliang always felt that she had another purpose, and the joking look in her eyes made Daliang more sure of his guess. Julian's existence is his biggest trump card. He is unwilling to let the archangel come to this castle to take risks if it is not necessary.

"Dear Admiral, I think if you want to punish me, you should probably call the guards to arrest me. I guess you may have some tasks that require my services. In order to make up for the crimes I have committed, I am willing to spend all my money Power takes care of it for you.”

"You are very smart," the admiral's answer made Daliang breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that robbing a merchant ship was not a big deal for her who commanded the entire Pudong fleet. "Maybe you have good strength, otherwise as a former Captain of the Pudong Fleet, an excellent Crusader commander, Sidney will not surrender to your command. I have a task here that is more suitable for you. If you can complete it... I will not pursue your crime. There are also unexpected things. The benefits are waiting for you.”

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

I heard that there was a mission, and it was a mission personally issued by the Admiral of the Pudong Fleet. According to the rules of the game, this must be a mission with very generous rewards. Daliang didn't expect that being caught as a pirate would have such benefits, and he immediately replied happily: "Admiral, please just give me the task, and I, Daliang, will definitely complete it beautifully for you."

"Don't be anxious, listen to me finish the mission, and then you decide whether to accept it or not," the admiral sitting high up showed a mysterious smile, "I guess you should also know that the entire Shangjiang City is facing a huge crisis now. Shangjiang City is a human race main city, and its owner is His Majesty the King of the East China Sea. Surrounding this city are seven cities of other races, belonging to seven marquises. They are all vassals of the East China Sea King. This relationship has always been very It's just that in recent years, these sub-cities have shown signs of instability, especially Chongming City controlled by the elves. They began to disobey His Majesty's orders and secretly hoard resources to expand the army. This is not a good phenomenon, because if we If Chongming City is left alone, other sub-cities will follow suit. The entire Shangjiang City is likely to have a large-scale rebellion in the near future..."

Daliang, who had many guesses about the mission, was shocked by the admiral's words: "No way, you want me to attack Chongming City? Are you kidding me?"

"Of course I won't let you attack Chongming City. After all, they are still subordinate to Shangjiang City at this time...at least in name, and you don't have the strength to attack Chongming City. In fact, just like I asked Sidney to do, The secret confrontation between Shangjiang City and Chongming City has already begun. Our Pudong Fleet has been cracking down on the smuggling activities of the Chongming Fleet to prevent the source of their gray funds. Not long ago, the subordinates I sent to monitor the Chongming Fleet reported to me A strange thing..."

There are thousands of islands scattered across the sea east of Shangjiang City. Some large islands are inhabited, but most of them are uninhabited small islands. Shangjiang City is not willing to waste money on these worthless islands. Materials to build. But not long ago, a captain belonging to the Pudong Fleet discovered a strange thing while patrolling for smuggling: the Chongming Fleet was transporting soldiers and supplies to an island called Feichen Island.

"Feichen Island is only one kilometer in radius. There is no fresh water on it, the terrain is not suitable for berthing ships, and its location is not on the route. It has no strategic significance at all. It would be understandable if the Chongming Fleet planned to place a sentry on it. But the large number of garrison forces forced me to pay attention. After all, this is a sensitive period. As a possible maritime opponent, I must keep track of every move of the Chongming fleet. So I sent people to sneak into Feichen Island to see what these elves wanted to do? But the elves The security there is very tight. My people can't get in at all, and they can't conduct a large-scale search to break the already tense nerves between the two sides. Therefore, I need an outside force to help me find out: What is there on Feichen Island? What attracted so much attention from Chongming City? Remember this is an unconventional mission. Any behavior you have near Feichen Island has nothing to do with our Pudong fleet, even when a war breaks out on Feichen Island. , I will also send a fleet to support."

Obviously, this mission is for Daliang to attack an island that is closely guarded by the Chongming fleet. It would be good if Daliang can attack it. Even if Daliang cannot attack it, the Pudong fleet will take the opportunity to send a fleet to board the aircraft in the name of support. Dust Island. At that time, no matter how the process goes, the beautiful admiral in front of him will know what the Chongming fleet did on that island?

Anyway, Daliang is a bomb thrown out in this mission. It is best if he can kill the opponent. Even if he cannot be killed, the Pudong fleet can rush in in the name of concern.

After realizing the role he played in it, Daliang found that his ending would definitely be very tragic.

"Can I say no?"

The admiral said nonchalantly: "Of course, but... you will be punished for piracy. Your ships and subordinates parked at the dock near the military port will be captured by me. I will even send my fleet out to sea to find your territory. I I don’t think the King of East China Sea would mind having an extra piece of territory.”

She actually knew the location of the ship! That's right, since she knows about Sidney's existence, she must also know where Sidney will park the ship. Now her life and that of her subordinates are in the hands of this admiral. There is no second choice for this task.

"Okay, I accepted this mission, but what are the benefits to me?" Da Liang, who was determined to accept the mission, began to bargain with the admiral, "To attack an island controlled by Chongming City, I need to mobilize all my soldiers, my army It is very likely that they will all die there. If there is no benefit, my loss will be less if I die here..."

Seeing Daliang's agreement, the admiral also said readily: "With the sea privateering certificate issued by the Pudong Fleet, your ship will be protected by the Pudong Fleet at sea and can be stationed at ports controlled by the Pudong Fleet. Your goods can pass through us as normal." Enter the market at a price of one three-masted warship and three two-masted warships. These warships are enough for you to organize a pretty good maritime force."

Privateering vouchers are a good thing. It means that Da Liang's fleet can rob legally, and the stolen goods can be sold at normal prices instead of at a huge discount. Just like the spices he currently owns worth 500,000 gold coins, even if he has Sidney's connection, he can sell them for up to 300,000 gold coins. But if he gets the privateering certificate, he can sell them for 500,000 gold coins like normal goods. It's really frustrating. Unstoppable temptation.

There are also battleship rewards. With these battleships, Da Liang can form a powerful pirate fleet.

Bargaining...
