Late at night, Kobra and his party returned to Albana and began to set up camp.
"Hey, what a troubled time!"
Kobra sat by the campfire, looking sad.
"Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Canglong is also here, why don't you ask him to take action?"
Bell, one of the two lieutenants of the Kingdom Guard, came over and heard Cobra's sigh. He couldn't help but feel inexplicable sadness and anger.
That adult had helped them resolve a major crisis. He also had a particularly fierce reputation at sea and was a typical example of someone who hates evil as much as he hates it. Bell was very sure that he was worthy of trust.
"We are a franchise country, Bell..."
"Vice Admiral Soryu is a member of the Navy."
Jaka stood behind Kobra, clenched his weapon, gritted his teeth, and said something strange.
Bell's expression froze when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth.
"Damn government officials!"
Bell understood what Jaka meant.
The navy must not interfere in the domestic affairs of the alliance. This is an iron law!
But whether it is an "internal affair" or not is not a matter of face.
Kobra requested government support several times but was intercepted by outsiders. Every time he answered, he used the excuse of "joining domestic affairs" as an excuse. The answer was already very obvious.
Someone deliberately prevented their news from reaching the ears of senior officials, keeping the matter within the scope of "internal affairs" that the Navy could not interfere with.
Its purpose is nothing more than to take advantage of the situation and lie on Alabasta's body to suck blood.
Now Alabasta has become a haven for pirates, and there is a great danger of being eaten. It is inseparable from those big figures.
"So what if Lieutenant General Canglong is willing to help? After this time, who can guarantee that there will be no next time?!"
"External forces are external forces after all, and we have to seize our own destiny!"
Kobra comforted Bell with a determined look: "The appearance of the eldest son of the Nibelungen family today has given us a rare moment of respite. We are notifying everyone to be careful. Whether we can turn over depends on this time!"
"yes!"
Everyone wants to give face to the Nibelung family, and wherever the navy blue dragon goes, there is even more turmoil.
At this stall, at least before they left, no force dared to take it lightly.
Under the desert starry sky, the wise king and his loyal knights swore an oath together, but they did not notice a pair of bright big eyes looking at them from behind the stone.
"Father..."
... ...
With the "golden sign" of the Celestial Dragons clearing the way, and Kobra's people actively cooperating, the workers Ron needed were quickly gathered.
At this moment, in the open space in front of the palace, a group of desert residents in white robes looked at Li Ruisike who was sitting on the high platform with fear. The sharp eyes of the CP0 agents kept scanning the crowd, and no disturbance could be hidden from their eyes.
Ron was riding a unique desert mount, a brown Bactrian camel, slowly wandering in front of the crowd.
"Lieutenant General Canglong, the personnel count is complete!"
"Lieutenant General Canglong, the supplies are ready and can be loaded into the truck and set off at any time!"
The people below quickly arranged everything and came back to report. Ron nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Li Ruisi.
"Tsk, trouble!"
The latter looked impatient, but for the sake of the 50% dividend and most importantly, not wanting to lose face, he stood up unwillingly and cleared his throat.
"Listen up you untouchables!"
Uh-huh!
The somewhat noisy team of workers instantly silenced themselves, comparable to a well-trained army.
Under Ron's strange gaze, Lirisk nodded, seemingly satisfied with his deterrence.
"I am the eldest son of the Nibelungen family, Saint Liriske of the Nibelungen, your god!"
"Now I need you despicable people to help me dig a treasure. If you complete it, you will be rewarded. If you fail to complete it, you will die. Do you understand?"
There was silence below, seemingly suppressed by the murderous intent in Liriske's words, but then, the workers soon started making a deafening noise.
"clear!"
"Long live Saint Lirisque!"
"Long live! Long live!"
The workers' enthusiasm for work was completely aroused. The rising enthusiasm reminded Ron of the period of "fat pigs competing with elephants", and he was dumbfounded.
Are you all sluts? !
Do you understand this is a threat? !
In response to this, after Li Ruisi sat down, he proudly "hummed" and explained with a look of "Ji Cao, don't be six, sit back and watch" with a little pride on his face.
"Why do Tianlong people need to show up personally to do things? The dogs below will help us handle everything. Not to mention, like me, there will be rewards for fulfilling the promise."
"As world nobles, do you think we don't need to keep our promises?"
Ron was stunned.
Okay, got it, Stockholm Syndrome.
The domineering and ruthless nature of the Tianlong people has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is no need to comment too much.
As an ordinary worker, I was called here. My family and life depended on one person. If I couldn't finish it, I would die. This was a consequence that needed no explanation.
But Liriske showed up in person and spoke out, and also made it clear that "there will be rewards for completion"... This gave the workers hope and hope of living.
Gratitude suppressed resentment, and expectation was greater than fear of death. In a complicated psychological state, he worshiped Liriske.
Commonly known as: Another crazy one.
"What a racial advantage the Celestial Dragons have! You didn't know this before!"
Being able to use one's own advantages to control the people so skillfully does not happen overnight.
The family tradition in Nibelungen is very strict!
Ron sighed.
However, Li Ruisi's face suddenly darkened: "Haha, if you learn ten years of knowledge in two years, you will be beaten if you can't learn it, and you will be like me."
That period of time was a dark past that Lirisk did not want to recall in this life.
Ron: "..."
A filial son emerges from the stick, and Orric is worthy of being the most domineering leader of the Draco clan.
Well done!
... ...
"Yo ho ho~"
A long team headed for the desert, with spies riding fast horses to investigate along the way. From time to time, they would pass by the edge of the team with the sound of wind.
"Lieutenant General Canglong, there are twenty tails in total!"
A CP0 agent came over, glanced at Lirisk who was taking a nap in the carriage, and decisively ran to Ron who was riding a camel to report the situation.
In front of well-trained government agents, the tracking skills of these people are impressive, and they can get the correct answer directly without even the need to eliminate the wrong answer.
"20? If I remember correctly, it shouldn't be far from Albana, right?"
Ron looked at the map and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Yes, if we work hard, we can arrive in one day!"
The mask prevented Ron from seeing the other person's expression, but he could hear the shock in the other person's tone.
Under the rule of Kobra, Alabasta put the people first and left the right of choice to the citizens. He was a rare benevolent king.
Those citizens are also very upbeat and live an honest life without causing trouble to the country. Due to the large land area and abundant domestic resources, no matter how hard it is to survive, it often takes several years before a pirate appears.
So it was hard for him to believe that there would be such a number of pirates operating so close to a country's capital.
Is this still Alabasta
Are you sure it's not a new country created by a certain pirate king
"interesting!"
Recalling that Kobra stopped talking about the current situation in the country yesterday, Ron made arrangements.
"Go get a few people and arrest them for interrogation."
"Cobra doesn't want to say that he doesn't want us to intervene, but we have to know what's going on, right?"
cp0's eyes lit up, he chose to report to Ron precisely for this purpose.
As the new squad leader of cp0, he needs to prove his worth to the Tianlongs and the Five Old Stars.
"Yes! I will do it now, little man!"
"Remember, compare your confessions over and over again. If I'm being tricked... Humph!"
CP0 was sweating profusely and quickly lowered his head.
"clear!"
