War Lord

Chapter 649: Colliding beliefs

"Jesse!"

Oran stretched out his hand and stood in front of the sinker: "Let him finish the sentence first."

Ling looked at Jesse, shook his head and said, "What I did was just hypothesis. We also have a rumor about Sauron. People like that are by no means a good ally, so we would go to Istar. By coincidence, we saved the float at the time. Franklin on the sea, now my deputy captain."

"Then, Captain Zero has already seen Istar, is he disappointed?" Oran smiled self-deprecatingly: "We are now in a hurry to flee from here like a bereaved dog."

"Disappointment can't be talked about, I can only talk about accidents. I don't know what you plan to do in the future?"

Oranmo replied, and Jesse snatched the conversation and said, "Of course it is to seek revenge for Sauron. As long as the comrades across the mainland know that Lord Urson died in a fierce battle, then everyone will be able to conquer the New Roman City in one fell swoop. !"

"Is that right?"

Zero nodded: "I see, then I wish you all the best." Then he looked at Franklin and said: "Let's go, I've seen Urson farewell, you should have no regrets."

Franklin was slightly surprised. Oran was also surprised at the sudden change in his attitude. Then he said: "Captain Zero, I think we can cooperate."

"Cooperation?" Ling said with a faint smile: "Yeah, I thought the same way before then. Presumably Master Oran has also seen that we have some people. Not ordinary people, but real powerhouses. This is your Iraq. What Starr lacks. You also have people and a large number of soldiers. This is what we need. After all, it is impossible for a high-level to complete everything, so we can take what we need, strategically and other things. Cooperation in terms of form."

"It's just a pity that I won't let my team cooperate with an army that is ready to commit suicide. I can say that it is another form of businessman, and the businessman will not make an investment without return."

"Fart!" Jessie said angrily: "Who is going to commit suicide? Have you figured out the situation?"

Ling hummed and said, "It's you who can't figure out the situation! Yes, Istar hasn't been able to resist. But now the main base is destroyed and the leader is killed. Once the news goes out, Have you ever thought about what kind of consequences it is. The same hatred? That is just your unilateral thought. Believe me, when this news comes out, Sauron only needs to behave, and your other comrades hidden in the mainland must be Will lose fighting spirit!"

"Let me guess again. With your strength, it is impossible to compete with the Pope’s Hall for so long. No matter the number of troops, weapons and equipment, or the number of capable people, you are far inferior. The reason why you can resist until now is a benefit. Because of Istar’s special geographic location; secondly, there are pirates to contain them; thirdly, I am afraid there are also people who are dissatisfied with Sauron in the Pope’s Hall to fund you, or even intelligence exchanges?" Zero sneered: "Now Istar no longer exists, and Sauron is afraid that he will use the pirates next. Under such a situation, once your funders feel that they have no chance of winning, will they continue to invest? In this way, all kinds of losses will be lost. The superior ones still want to attack the Pope’s Hall. Please tell me what this is not suicide!"

Jessie's face was blue and white, and he looked very excited, and he couldn't refute it. Oran sighed secretly, thinking that Jesse was still too naive and immature. No matter from which way, he couldn't compare with this young man who was about his age. The watchman humbly said: "Then what shall we do according to Captain Zero's meaning?"

Zero sighed and said: "We are always outsiders. We currently have limited information, but we know a general situation in the Western Continent. Many of the details are unclear. How can I be qualified to point you at me? I can only It is recommended that you try not to disclose the death of Ursen as much as possible. You only need to find someone who is somewhat similar in shape and appearance to Ursen and make a gesture to show the outside world that he is only injured but not dead. Then even if Sauron tells the news. If it spreads out, it will not hit your other comrades on the mainland and the patrons in the Papal Hall too much, so you still have hope."

"As for more, I'm sorry, the information is limited, I can't make more detailed suggestions."

After that, Zero gave Franklin a wink. The latter nodded, and followed Ling and left the Tower of Plenty.

On the other side of the sea, night began to fall. While the remnants of the sky were still shining on the ruins of the building, Jesse solemnly said: "Would you not believe him? He is just an outsider who knows nothing. The so-called illusion is not feasible at all, Oran, you Think about it in your head, once people know the truth, it will only be worse for us!"

"Perhaps, but it is undeniable that this method can allow us to live through the most difficult days of the moment." Oran said, looking at the dark ruin and Urson's top hat.

Jessie's chest rose and fell violently, and finally said: "If you plan to do this, it's a pity, I won't listen to your orders again!"

He walked away, and only Oran was left on the rooftop.

The sky light hit Oran’s face from the side. The flat glasses on the watcher’s face reflected the afterglow light. I couldn’t see the look in her eyes, but a drop of crystal liquid fell from the glasses, then floated to the ground, and fell. Beside the dark ruin. At this moment, Olan showed the weakness that she had never had. She was like any woman who suddenly lost her support, hesitating and confused.

She sat next to Anmie, tears kept rolling down, but Oran didn't seem to be aware of it. There was only this lonely rapier in his eyes. Oran Yinfang bit the rapier, stretched out and pulled out the rapier and said softly, "I'm sorry, Urson. Please stay with us to fight for a while...I swear , I will never let Istar disappear like this. I inherited your last will!"

Standing up again, Oran took off his glasses, wiped off his eyes, and returned to that cold look. She picked up the dark ruin and left the building. On the roof of the building, only Urson's top hat remained. It pressed against a rock and shook gently in the wind.

When I returned to the pier, the last ray of light in the evening quietly disappeared. Under the curtain of night, the hull of the Destiny has flames flowing along a certain circuit from time to time. Zero and Franklin got on the boat and informed Feng that they would gather in the meeting room. Hindrella also came, she and Leah appeared together. Two women with different personalities get along fairly well these days, thanks to Leah's generosity. As Zero's first woman, she knew that her current strength couldn't keep up with Zero's pace. All Leah could do was to try her best to improve her abilities and not to restrain Zero's pace.

So she agreed with Beyonce, and now there is Cinderella again. The former can help zero in economics and management, while the latter has powerful strength and local advantages in the Western Continent. In the past few days of getting along, Leah knew that Zero and her had not yet had a sexual relationship. Hearing Hindrella described the wonderful spiritual exchange between the two, Leah knew that it was no different from a sexual relationship, and even more capable of conquering Hindrella's heart.

This also knows Zero's mind from another aspect.

After knowing zero for so long, Leah still knew that this man was a relatively conservative person in some ways. Like and Cinderella had a certain level of relationship within 24 hours, which is unique to Zero. The only possibility is to give priority to Cinderella's power and her identity. This woman will be the key to Zero to open the Western Continent.

This is use, that's right. But Zero Choice communicated with her spiritually instead of simply sharing the happiness of sex. It also shows that Zero will reward her with her emotions. After all, spiritual communication is two-way. When Zero explores Hindrella, he also opens his mind. The spiritual and spiritual resonance between the two parties will be more profound than secular emotions.

Zero has planted the seed, and the seed will eventually grow into a towering tree. In the future, the emotions between Cinderella and Zero will not be much less than between him and Leah and Beyonce. If the tree will not be broken by accident.

Leah understood Zero's intentions, and knew that even if she didn't want to, Zero had already made a choice. She can't reverse this result, so she can only follow the development of things and accept Cinderella to join this small circle. It was just that she understood, but there was a trace of sadness between Leah's eyebrows unknowingly.

When she and Cinderella walked in, Ling noticed. It's just that it's not the time for the two to meet each other, not to mention that he has more important things to deal with, so he can only temporarily put it aside. Soon, the important people on the ship were all there. In addition to the core team members such as Feng, Su, and Berion, including Dr. Billy, Dr. Ji Ya, and even several operators in the control room were also audited.

Everyone knows that Zero does this, so the next thing must be very important, so everyone pricked their ears.

Seeing that all the staff were there, Ling stood up and said: "You must know that I originally planned to cooperate with Istar. Unfortunately, Istar is now completely different, and I also met their two leaders just now. I was disappointed by the words and deeds of one of them, so tomorrow we will leave Istar."

"Although we haven't really set foot on the Western Continent yet, judging from what we have heard and heard, I don't know if you have noticed a very special phenomenon." Zero's eyes swept across the people below, and Not to sell the key, he said directly: "There are few capable people! Yes, I don’t know the situation in the Pope’s Hall, but we have already seen it on the counter-judgment army. Only their three leaders can be called masters. Among them, the Watcher Ou It seems that Lan is not a combat-type capable person, it may be a high-level perceptual field. And the soldiers underneath, who have conducted landing operations should be very clear, there are very few people with abilities above the sixth level, and there are only three at most. Around the fourth order."

"With such a scarce ability group, it can fight the Pope’s Hall for so long, leaving aside some third-party factors, such as the rebel eyeliner inside the Pope’s Hall, etc. It is certain that even the ability of the Pope’s Hall is better than Istar’s side. There are many, but the number will be extremely limited. Probably only the commander-level can reach the high-level level, and the middle-class abilities will be very rare. Generally speaking, the third and fourth-tier abilities should be the majority. This is the same as where we are. The mainland is completely in two forms."

Zero looked at Cinderella again: "What's interesting is that through Captain Cinderella these days, I learned that the alien races in the Western Continent are also very rare. Even the alien beasts on the land are very limited in type, so they dominate this area. The mainland is humans, and humans have incomparable advantages. I personally guess that the scarcity of alien races has caused humans in the Western Continent to lack competitors on the evolutionary road, resulting in a corresponding shortage of capable people in humans. It can be compared with that. , Their technology should not be underestimated."

"Captain Franklin had fought with the powerful of the Pope's Hall on Istar. According to Franklin, the opponent operated a mecha. And it was a large mecha over ten meters..."

As soon as these words came out, a small commotion arose in the meeting room. With a zero dry cough, he said: "Everyone knows that in our mainland, the power mech has only been developed in recent years. It is a type of individual soldier developed for ordinary people to have the power to fight against low-level abilities. Weapons. For us, this is already a very cutting-edge technological product, but as far as the Western Continent is concerned, our so-called cutting-edge mecha is probably an old antique that can be destroyed in their eyes."

"Captain Franklin also told me how he fought with other troops in the Pope's Hall. In this, two other forms of mecha appeared. One is the raiders similar to Ludu, heavy but carrying such The machine gun is a heavy-fire mech. The other is a light mech with low-altitude flight capability and guided missiles as the main attack method. Coupled with the large mecha that appeared in the battle of Istar, then the Pope’s Hall at least Mastered three different types of power mechas, and this is just what we know. If there is no accident, they will have at least one or two secret mechas. In other words, the technological civilization of the Western Continent will overwhelm the theme of the era of the capable Civilization."

Zero emphasized: "But don’t underestimate the technological civilization of the Pope’s Hall. Captain Franklin and Ulson, the leader of Itana’s battle, both possess high-level powers. According to Mr. Franklin, Sauron was Driving a large mecha with one enemy and two. The end result was that Urson was killed in battle and Franklin was seriously injured. From this, it can be seen that the advanced mecha of the Pope’s Hall actually has the strength that rivals, even surpasses the ordinary high-end!"

"Our opponent is such a science and technology kingdom! Ironically, such a cutting-edge mecha civilization has been developed, but this kingdom believes in theocracy, so I have to say that this is really a deformed country." Ling shook his head. .

After summarizing the general situation of the Western Continent, Ling patted his palms and said: "This is the basic situation. We need to collect more information before we know it. Then, let's talk about it freely. When the towers are no longer able to cooperate, everyone talks about how we are going to intervene in this dispute on the Western Continent."

After Zero finished speaking, Leah groaned: "I learned from my conversations with Sister Cinderella in the last few days that the pirates of the Western Continent were originally composed of people who did not want to be oppressed by Sauron. At the beginning, the pirates were the targets of looting. Basically, they were all military merchant ships traveling between the Roman city and the colonial islands. It was only now that some pirates with newer qualifications became what they wanted. They were not allowed to fight against the Pope’s Hall, and at the same time they would also be out islands. The civilians who start the attack belong to a group that is completely unconstrained."

"I'm thinking, if Istar can't cooperate, can we incorporate these pirates and turn them into our own army?"

After Leah finished speaking, she shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. The original intention of the boss is not to overthrow the Pope Hall and become the master of this continent. I also said that we are outsiders, even if we can do this. Therefore, we are excluded. For the same reason, if these lawless pirates are activated, I am afraid that we will only be considered by others to be another larger pirate group."

"Su is right, but Leah's method may not be really unfeasible." Feng smiled and said, "If those guys are unpopular, then let us buy people's hearts. Before, everyone also saw in the island of yellow sand. When it came time, the people on the outer islands had a very hard life, and the city of Rome did not treat them as its own people, and even the civilians on the colonial islands were not treated. Instead, they were left to fend for themselves. If we show it well, Bringing these people onto our warships will naturally blur the perception of being unable to piracy, right?"

Driven by these few people, the discussion gradually entered the gang. Everyone rushed to put forward their own suggestions. Some of them were indeed naive and immature, but some of them were very pertinent and constructive. Zero always smiled without saying anything, letting the people below play his role, while he silently collected everyone's opinions, corrected them, and gradually formed a clear line of thought.

As a superior, the style of leadership varies from person to person. In terms of the power structure of this era, most people in the upper ranks will adopt dictator-like methods. The advantage of this approach is that there is always only one voice, but the disadvantage is that the strategy is one-sided. Zero does not like this approach, but currently does not approve of the democratic system that delegates decision-making power to voting.

The former is too arbitrary, while the latter is decentralized. In this era, if only one of these two methods can be chosen, then the first one is obviously more appropriate. But Zero has his own style and he is more inclined to guide. After screening the opinions of the people, refer to them and guide them in the direction they planned. In this way, there will be neither a sense of arbitrariness, nor will the entire command system be too bloated and cumbersome because of the dispersion of power.

More importantly, the following people are guided by the orders issued by him personally~lightnovelpub.net~ Everyone will have a feeling of participating, so it will naturally be more hard to implement. This is a kind of imperial method, and it is also one of the results of thorough communication with Zero before Xi Si heads to the City of Dawn.

After everyone put forward their opinions, Ling stood up and naturally focused everyone's attention on him. He scanned everyone’s face and said, “According to the opinions raised by everyone, I have selected some of them that are relevant and feasible, plus some of my own ideas, and roughly formed a relatively clear plan. This plan will be divided into Several parts, and the first part is like Leah said, incorporating the power of pirates. But not just those who cannot be pirates, but all!"

"Yes, just use the rules of pirates. I will challenge the captains of all pirate ships. I want them and treat me as king!"

There was silence in the meeting room, and Hindrella lowered her head quietly, with a wry smile on her face. She can already predict that the turbulent undercurrent of this continent will be born out of zero and it will completely boil. Just near Istar that Sauron personally destroyed, his strongest opponent is quietly rising!

No one could predict the future direction of the Western Continent when Zero made this decision.
