Heart of Empire

Chapter 71: situation

Views:

Defeating an enemy with ease, Dane vented his anger at the death of his sword dancer.

However, after being refreshed, the immediate trouble still had to be resolved.

After all, Shahaiwan Port is also Ma Long's territory. If Bohe can be sent full-time to be in charge of the port guard, one of the two main conventional defense forces of the bay port, it must be a subordinate that Ma Long values very much. If such a person was beaten to death by Dane in the street, it would be a ghost if there was no trouble.

In the past, when the Horrors were just a mercenary group, no matter how unhappy Dane was, he might have to take his own people and leave before Malone could react.

But now...

He looked at Emre, squinting his eyes, and he knew it was dangerous at a glance.

Emre didn't notice this, he happily ran to Dane, and said: "Captain Dane, you really helped me a lot! Haha! Malone's recent arrogance Especially arrogant, if this continues, our control over Shawan Harbor will be in jeopardy. However, the death of Boch is a major blow to Malone. I have to thank you very much! If General Morno knew You will be very happy with what you have done."

"Well..." Dane nodded and said, "Since I've helped you so much, how can you thank me?"

Emre is not stupid, and once Dane said this, the meaning was quite clear.

But Emre didn't take it seriously at all, as Dane's demonstrated strength was enough for him to pay blood. He even had some thoughts: after old Bynes was finished, and the entire Horror Mercenary Group already belonged to Dane, if he could pull Dane under his own forces, no matter how much he paid is worth it!

So, he said: "Captain Dane, you don't need to say thank you, as a brother, you will definitely not let you work so hard. Moreover, if you are willing to join General Morneau's command, Not to mention the rewards, I think I can take the position of commander directly! By then, I am afraid you will be my boss, and I will call you Boss Dane instead!"

"Hmph..." Dane snorted softly, and said, "I have always respected General Morneau, but you want to recruit me? That's impossible, even if Morneau himself goes out, it's useless. Let's discuss the reward It’s a problem, among my people, one of them was beaten to death for fighting for you, I want to give my brothers an explanation, and you have to give me an explanation.”

The recruitment failed, which was expected by Emre. Indeed, as Dane said, General Morneau had recruited Dane more than once before, but he never succeeded. He didn't expect Dane to work for Moreno with a single word from himself, he just mentioned it casually.

"Okay, brother, I don't want to tell you any nonsense. I heard from Delin that your ship is parked at the pier in Shawan Port? Later, I will send 10,000 gold coins to your ship right away." Go, real money. As for us, I'll treat the Horror brethren to a good drink as a reward, what do you think?"

Dane couldn't help giving Emre a high look, and said: "I heard before that Morno has a captain who is very good at being a man, and I saw him today. That's it. Okay, since you are kindly invited, there is nothing to say. After the fight Fighting, drinking heavily, is the refreshment of a man!"

Neither of them mentioned anything about Boch who was killed.

It is true that Boch is a character, but if he is dead, it is not worth mentioning. Although it was Dane who killed him with his own hands, the account obviously cannot be settled on his head, but will definitely be charged on the head of Emre and even Morno. If there was no such a protective umbrella, Dane would definitely not go drinking with Emre as easily as he is now, but would want to escape.

But there is no need to worry now, to settle accounts with Dane is tantamount to settle accounts with Emre, it is tantamount to settle accounts with Morno, and settle accounts with Morno is tantamount to war.

Malone, I don't have the guts yet.

As far as the current situation of the generation of Shawan Port and Rotten Wolf Town is concerned, no matter how deadlocked it is in private, no matter how bad the relationship between Malone and Moreno is, or even to the point where everyone knows it, the two sides are still at peace for the time being. There was no all-out war. Morno even expected Ma Long to take action directly, because he was fully confident that as long as Ma Long dared to make a move, he would be able to send troops from Rotten Wolf Town to level Ma Long's power. Ma Long also knew that if he really tried his best, his army might not be able to beat Morno, so he had to stay obediently.

As for, since Morno has the military strength to suppress Malone, why didn't he act first, but waited for the other party to act first, which would involve Cinderella. Governor Conley is the person behind Ma Long. It doesn't matter if Morno makes a move, but he will immediately give Governor Conley an excuse to attack him. He can beat Malone, but he must not be able to beat Conley.

Therefore, at the moment, Morneau really wants to kill Malone, but he can't do it first; Malone also wants to kill Morneau, but he can't beat Morneau, so he can only wait for Conley to help later. As a result, such a complicated and anxious situation in Shawan Port has been formed.

These things can be analyzed soon after Dane basically understands the current situation of Shawan Port. That's why he boldly followed Emre to drink without worrying about Malone's revenge.

In the tallest building among the fortresses on the outskirts of Shawan Harbor, there was a 'ping pong' sound and a dull roar from a man. The two guards standing at the door couldn't help but tremble. The two of them looked at each other, knowing that if their general hadn't been extremely furious and he, who always valued his appearance, would never have lost his composure so much that he smashed things and roared.

Just as the two guards expected, Ma Long standing in front of his desk, his face was already red with anger, a button of his formal dress was torn, and his meticulous hair was a little messy.

"Dane... Dane... that scary Dane? Damn it, didn't he say that he has already gone to that ghostly place in Comilla? Why did he suddenly come back and mix with people from Morno?" Said some ferociously.

Standing in front of Ma Long was an elderly scholar in a robe. He said: "General, it is said that Dane's visit to Shawan Harbor this time is related to the black crystal that appeared in the market a few days ago. As for why he participated in the street fight between Bohe and Emre, according to our investigation, it should be It was purely an accident. However, he has always had a good relationship with Moreno, and it is normal for him to help Moreno's people."

My mood speculates that this week's performance is quite sluggish. I'm afraid that if I don't recommend it, it will really hit the street...

In addition, thanks to [Dragon, Lone Wolf Pie] for the reward.
