Chapter 393 - Pirate’s Lair
"Mr. Morton, why don"t you look well?"
"Oh, I"m fine. It"s just that...Princess Allie is so fierce."
"Of course. Our warehouse is made of steel plates, but she has already kicked it six times to reinforce it."
"It seems that Princess Allie"s body is very healthy. I don"t think I need to meet her anymore. Let"s wait for the official to arrive first."
Morton looked at Zha Mu with a half-honest and half-fake look of embarra.s.sment and fear.
"Princess Allie is not happy to be with her highness. If I meet her and she is impulsive, then..."
"I understand, I understand."
Zha Mu patted Morton on the shoulder.
"How about this, the CEO will be staying with us for the next few days. We have nothing else but a bunch of wh.o.r.es. We s.n.a.t.c.hed them all. Mr. Morton, you can choose anything you like."
"Thank you, thank you. Just give me a quiet room to read in."
Zha Mu raised his head and gave the instructions to the leader beside him. "No problem. Give the president a quiet room. Also, give the president ten top-notch wh.o.r.es to serve Mr. Morton and order them not to speak. Unless the president gives the order, they can"t make any sound."
Morton smiled bitterly. He did not know what to say, so he could only let him be.
Three days later, Lei Luo wore clothes that cost more than 600 gold coins and carried a box.
In the box, there were two sets of clothes that were even more expensive than the one he was wearing. They soon arrived at the nest of the Grizzly Bear Pirate Gang.
After more than 30 years of construction, this pirate nest had become a fortress.
For more than 30 years, the Grizzly Bear Pirate Gang had relied on it to survive.
The lives and wealth of the tens of thousands of people in the nest, including the elderly, the weak, women, and children, were all dependent on it.
"When the empire collapses, the only strength I can rely on is probably people like them."
When the ship approached the pirate"s lair and was about to arrive, Lei Luo silently looked at the people living in the pirate lair.
Unlike ordinary civilians, the s.p.a.ce that the pirates had was very limited.
Therefore, their buildings were built in a plain and unadorned manner. Everything was based on the principle of practicality, and there was nothing gorgeous or useless about them.
Because of the possibility of being attacked at any time, when the pirates returned to their nests, their lives would become extremely regular and regular.
Once they were attacked, the residents of the nests would be able to find their own posts in the shortest time possible and start to defend their homes.
Although the leaders of the pirate gangs were generally not very capable, because of the quality of the members of the pirate gang, the pirate gang wasn"t at a disadvantage in the battle with the Regular Army.
In the early stages, the quality of the soldiers was more important than the quality of the commander. This was Lei Luo"s policy, so it was no wonder that he was drooling over these pirates.
"Commander..."
When the ship docked at the harbor of the lair, Lei Luo saw a burly man and Morton coming to greet him.
Upon seeing him, Morton immediately bowed humbly.
Lei Luo just waved his hand lightly as a return salute.
These were all things that he had discussed with Morton beforehand.
He wanted to wear high-end clothes, be cool, and have a n.o.ble demeanor.
Seeing that Morton was so respectful, Zha Mu quickly walked forward and extended his hand towards Lei Luo.
"Aiya, Lord Envoy, you"ve finally come."
Lei Luo frowned and used his gloved hand to pat Zha Mu"s hand. It was considered a handshake.
"Leader, there"s no need to be so polite. Find a quiet place and quickly settle the matter. His Highness is still waiting for news from here."
Lei Luo"s behavior made Zha Mu very unhappy. However, thinking that he was Prince Julius"s trusted aide, he had to ignore it.
Moreover, he was there to send money.
Endure it. Forget it. In this day and age, whoever had money was the boss.
Everyone went straight to the meeting center.
Zha Mu gave the seat of honor to Lei Luo. He was too lazy to show off to this old master.
"I wonder what His Highness is planning to give us? What we need the most now is gold coins. We are lacking many items for the people. Recently, the empire has been cracking down on us. There are also many mercenaries on the merchant ships. It"s not easy to steal things."
Lei Luo blinked his eyes and said. "Aren"t you all pirates? Why are you afraid of mercenaries?"
"Everyone knows that our area is one of the three great pirate bases in the Empire. There are tens of thousands of pirate nests wandering in the entire region. We have been committing crimes and breaking the rules since our ancestors. It was the same when Victor was emperor. Now the Senate is in charge, but we are still the same. We like to be free and don"t like to be controlled by others. Just as the messenger said, we will s.n.a.t.c.h whatever we lack. We will only be fed with blood. But recently, our days have not been so good. We don"t dare to touch the goods that are too troublesome. The main reason is to protect our strength."
"You are not a regular army. Only a regular army will be weaker and weaker. Pirates are stronger."
"That"s right...Messenger, do you know that there are a total of top-tier mercenary guild pirate missions? One of them is to destroy the Satan"s wings pirate group."
"I"ve heard of it."
"I don"t know, but I"ve never heard of such rumors. Not long ago, the Doomsday Dusk Alliance, which just destroyed the East G.o.d Alliance, is likely to accept this mission?"
"Oh? How come I haven"t received any news at all? It should be just a baseless rumor, right?"
"There are more than a hundred million pirates in the wings of Satan, and countless warriors. Even if the senate were to launch an all-out attack, it might not be successful, let alone an alliance."
Although he said that he did not believe it, Lei Luo was actually very interested in it. If the news was true, then his next step would be settled.
"Just as the messenger said, if the pirates can unite as they did before, then even if the senate comes to suppress them, we are not afraid. But now is different from the past. Since the birth of the law of succession, many people have come to our area to recruit people in order to fight for the throne. The prices they pay are very high. Although we pirates like freedom, we don"t like freedom more than money."
