Miss Magic didn't say a word to answer Marquis Mihail's meaning. She herself has nothing to do with this ship, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with it. Of course, Hathaway didn't dare to speak, she had met Marquis Mihail, and she felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness towards Britney's father. So Jenkins was the last one to speak. As the only male among the three, he considered himself responsible.
What is the current situation on the shore, probably no one can explain clearly. So Jenkins could only tell the marquis what he knew from the first gunshot at the beginning of the celebration.
The Marquis listened very carefully, and occasionally asked some questions, but most of the time Jenkins was still talking.
"I probably understand, it seems that the development of things is not as simple as we expected..."
After Jenkins finished speaking, the Marquis unconsciously sighed, turned around and marked with a pen on the chart behind him, and then looked at the three of them again.
Probably because he was born in the military and held a high position, his eyes are very powerful. When the Marquis' eyes swept over the three of them, they all had the illusion of being seen through by each other.
Of course, it's just an illusion.
"I also have some understanding of the world other than ordinary people. I actually have a good impression of people like you. It is the existence of extraordinary beings outside the power of the church that makes the church do some things instead of concentrating on it." Dealing with secular power. I have also considered hiring the bestowers as bodyguards before, but I can't find the right ones.
I think, if you come to this ship specially at this time, you should not just kindly provide me with some information. What do you want to do, please tell me now, for the sake of the information just now, I will help you. "
As he spoke, he took the initiative to go to the conference table, then made a gesture of invitation, and invited the three of them to sit down.
After several people sat down, Jenkins saw that his companions still had no intention of speaking, so he asked:
"Now Fermisau wants to flood the entire city. Although the three of us are not messengers of justice, we also want to see if we can do something to change everything. Of course, more importantly, I am very curious , What exactly happened today that made things like this. Before that, I only knew that the navy and the army cooperated to wipe out the remaining pirate forces on land, and the three ships that landed first The boat is the bait... Since it is the bait, why would someone like you be on the boat?"
"It turns out that the news you know is this version."
Marquis Michael shook his head with a serious face:
"This operation was actually decided before the Battle of the Broken Isles. Therefore, in order to keep it secret, various confusing plans were released at different times. For example, I returned with a big victory but I was seriously injured. Isles rich in gold mines. What you have heard is closer to the truth, but it is not the whole truth. Now that things have developed to the point where they are now, those plans don't matter, I can tell you , but it’s best not to spread rumors... In fact, the battle of the Broken Isles is not over at all, and the so-called complete victory is just a cover.”
"But how can it be successful? Even if the kingdom can keep this secret, are the pirates keeping it a secret for you?"
"Yes, those pirates are also keeping us secret, because they are willing to surrender to us and accept the adaptation of the Royal Navy."
He was satisfied to see the surprise on the faces of the three people opposite:
"This is actually not very difficult to do. After all, the seven pirate kings are also hostile to each other all the year round. The subordinates of the destruction king Fermixiu can't stand Fermixiu's madness. The thief Divo died in Nolan not long ago, and the owl ship Kirk of the team was killed by his wife and her lover before elopement at the beginning of the war. The legendary pirate old Kirk wanted to find a good way out for his grandson who was studying in Beldylan. Selling themselves to the royal family, the remaining two are too old and want to retire to live a peaceful life. They are willing to surrender at this time and show that they don't mind being placed on the front line of the war with Cheslan. We have no reason Reject their surrender."
Marquis Mihaile said this, and Jenkins could hear the self-satisfaction deliberately concealed in his tone.
"Then the plan you arranged is to wipe out those pirates who don't want to surrender, as well as Fermixiu's forces on the shore?"
"Except for Fermisius, the other plans were originally like this, but the plan was not implemented in Nolan. It became like this, it is the bastards of the Royal Army who insisted on using this incident as a bait to move the people in Nolan City All forces are wiped out. They always don't know that greedy people will not end well, if Nolan is really so easy to clean up, then Nolan will not become such a metropolis."
When it comes to the Royal Army, the Marquis's tone carries a contempt that cannot be ignored. The lack of cooperation between the naval system and the army system is also a common problem in all countries. The total amount of military expenditure of the kingdom is limited every year. Everyone wants to eat enough so that others can only starve.
"Then what role did Fermisio play? Why does he seem to be the biggest winner now?"
Jenkins asked again.
"Actually, the first one who expressed that he could consider surrendering was Fermisius."
"Um?"
This is something Jenkins really couldn't think of.
"It was he who took the initiative to contact us before the Battle of the Broken Isles, and provided the pirates' action plans and plans to the Royal Navy. Only then can we gain a crushing advantage in the early stages of the battle, forcing other pirate kings to consider surrendering Therefore, when planning to wipe out the remnants of the pirate forces, we gave Fermis a certain degree of trust, so he knew part of the real action plan... "
"You actually trusted a lunatic?"
Jenkins had to cut him off.
"Sir, to be fair, we didn't do anything wrong. Fermisio showed almost all the sincerity he could. You can accuse us of negligence afterwards, but you can't say that we made inappropriate decisions at the time."
The Marquis said very sharply.
"It's really meaningless to talk about right and wrong now, but didn't you realize something was wrong beforehand?"
Jenkins asked again.
"If you think about it from the current point of view, there is indeed something wrong. For example, when interrogating the captives of the pirate rebel forces, someone pointed out that Fermixiu has transported a large number of slaves to land many times in recent months. The scale is much smaller than we imagined. One captain said that last year, Fermisio sold off the assets of the fleet, and the large amount of cash he got disappeared. I think this is probably to prepare for blood sacrifices and other activities. I Know that this is an effective way for supernatural beings to gain power."
