In the captain's room of the Crimson Tiger, tense military discussions were going on.
There were very few participants, and of course Leylin, the controller, sat at the top, with Isabelle and Tifa on both sides.
On Isabelle's side, apart from her, there were Robin Hood, Ronald, and Karen and other pirate leaders.
Next to the mention is the faction that Leylin operated in the north, which even included devil believers and real devils. Even though they tried their best to conceal it, the aura on their bodies still made other pirates feel uncomfortable and dangerous.
But next to those demon believers, there were several high-ranking priests with calm faces. These priests were the seeds cultivated by Leylin. They are out of tune, but brought together, showing a strange atmosphere.
It was the first time for these two groups of people to meet each other, and they couldn't help but look at each other with curious eyes.
These are the elite forces of Leylin's subordinates, and they are also the embryonic form of his church and legion in the future. They are also the capital of this expedition to the native empire. Naturally, Leylin needs to integrate them well.
After the long self-introduction passed, Leylin coughed slightly, immediately making the venue into an atmosphere of silence.
"Isabelle, come and introduce the situation over there!"
In formal occasions, Leylin always called Isabelle by her first name, especially after becoming a god.
For the eternal gods, a bit of secular blood relationship and other things are all vain, and only benefits are eternal!
"This time the native empire was discovered by a team of pirates under me. They live together on a large island, about the size of two or three Kingdoms of Dambras... and there are always dangerous hurricanes and storms around that big island. Ocean currents can only be sailed smoothly for a short period of time every year, so there is very little communication with the outside world. My men have already figured out the laws of ocean currents there, and have made accurate routes... "
For the pirates under Isabelle, identifying ocean currents and routes is just a basic skill.
As pirates who rely on the sky, their navigation ability and star positioning technology are even far superior to ordinary merchant navigators and helmsmen. As the largest pirate leader in the open sea, Isabelle certainly has many talents in this area. .
As long as the specific location of the other party is determined, and a little more time is spent, and multiple experiments are not afraid of sacrificing human life, determining the route is only a very simple matter.
"Hiss..."
Isabelle's speech immediately set off a wave of gasping voices on Tifa's side.
"The size of two or three kingdoms of Dambras? This kind of area? It's almost a small continent, okay?"
"Dambres Kingdom has about one million residents. The civilization of the natives is discounted, but it is also very amazing. Doesn't that mean that we have to face more than two million natives?"
This simple comparison even caused uneasy emotions to appear on the faces of some pirates.
After all, their total number is less than 10,000, but they have to face hundreds of times more enemies! If it weren't for the advantages of ships and sea routes, they might have already thought about how to escape.
"Silence!" Tifa shouted in a deep voice: "Do you want to lose face in front of the master? Or are you timid?"
This kind of stern questioning, combined with the opponent's legendary status, immediately quieted down the scene.
"Although there are many natives, they are really nothing. You will know the details when you go ashore..."
Leylin waved his hands disapprovingly.
Indeed, even in Leylin's previous life, during the Western Age of Discovery, when those colonists conquered North and South America, they often did not rely on their own hundreds or even dozens of people to directly defeat any large tribes and native kingdoms, or even There are also guys who directly conquered the entire continent with thousands of scumbags and criminal pirates, and finally became national heroes (such as the Aztec empire who conquered 15 million people in 5 years with only 1,000 people). Hulters).
For Leylin, the native empire was not much different from the Aztec Empire in the original time and space, both were full of barbarism and ignorance, and were behind the times.
With the advancement of science and technology and civilization, conquering this seemingly huge but actually bloated backward civilization is essentially no different from slaughtering fat pigs.
No matter how dark the current mainland countries are, they are still much more advanced than those natives who don't even have to wear clothes and can only use wooden spears and the like.
And, most importantly, with Leylin, the 'god', behind his back frenziedly opening cheats, are you afraid that you won't be able to win
As a divine person, Leylin had a powerful appeal invisibly. After seeing his confident attitude, the restlessness of others was also calmed down.
After seeing the situation like this, Leylin nodded, and continued to ask Isabel to introduce the situation of the native empire.
"According to our practice, I call this newly discovered large island 'Bankaz Island'. It is currently known that there is a native empire in the center of this large island, which they call 'Zacatecaz' ', which means the eternal sun, occupies most of the plains on the island, with a population of about 1.5 million, and around this Zacatecaz Empire, there are other tribes, most of whom are from Zacatec The Kaz Empire pays tribute, and there are wars between them, and the total population is about 500,000 to 600,000... "
It can be seen that Isabelle attaches great importance to this intelligence work, and she can even get specific information about the Zacatecaz Empire, which is very good.
Although they were already mentally prepared, the others gasped when they heard that they were going to fight with more than two million natives.
"Hey... what is this? You blind creatures! Those are not more than two million enemies, in my opinion, they are more than two million strong slaves! There are countless gold and silver, and even fertile land !"
Isabelle looked at her subordinates and said with a sneer, her tone full of disdain.
The other pirates thought of those weak natives and reacted one after another.
What they were doing was to plunder the natives as slaves. Of course, they know that the natives are very docile as long as they are frightened with knives. Even if you whip them, they will not resist. Sometimes only one supervisor can guard hundreds native slaves.
After ignoring the numbers, the pirates finally came to their senses, and their original sense of superiority over the natives came to mind again.
"That's right! Those natives are extremely weak. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, we don't want to fight all the natives in one go. We can start with the surrounding tribes, and even subdue a few natives as servants, let them kill yourself..."
Ronald also said in a deep voice: "And such a big island, once conquered! No! Even if it is only one-tenth! Everyone present here can also obtain unimaginable wealth, and even become nobles with fiefdoms..."
What the pirates did was licking blood with knife-edge. When they heard this huge temptation, they couldn't help breathing heavily, and bloodshot eyes appeared in their eyes.
"That's right... As a marquis, my family has the power to confer vassal nobles... I will definitely not be stingy..."
Leylin also made a promise at this time, causing the other pirates to cheer.
Can go from the humblest pirate to nobleman? This attraction is enough for pirates to work hard for it.
On the other side of the reference, the crowd was also a little commotion. After all, even the gods need to eat and drink, and they need a safe and comfortable life.
"Occupy the empire and provide faith to our Lord, this is also an oracle!"
Tifa announced solemnly.
"For my lord!"
The other god sticks prayed devoutly.
After a unified understanding, all the people left the venue one by one, only Tifa and Isabelle stayed.
"In the face of those natives, even if the number is ten times larger, I am not worried at all, but... Has the master ever thought about the possibility that the other party has the protection of the gods?"
Tifa solemnly raised a question, which Leylin had deliberately avoided before.
"Well! I also wanted to remind you that there were belief totems among the native tribes in the outer seas, and some of them were not inferior to legends and demigods..."
Isabelle also said with a solemn expression.
According to their opinion, even if the number of people increases, no matter how bad the natives are, one or two true gods can still make up.
And this is fatal.
After all, Leylin is only a divine being right now! The cruelty of the war of gods can be deeply felt in many epics and poems.
"You don't have to worry about this problem at all. There are indeed some indigenous beliefs and divine creatures on Bankoz Island, but at most they are only demigods, and there is not a single true god... Moreover, the gods of the various pantheons on the mainland have no respect for the natives. Faith has no interest in…”
Leylin said reassuringly.
In terms of gods, of course, he still has the most say. Isabelle and Tifa immediately relaxed a lot after hearing this.
True gods are a gap, but the gap between gods and demigods is not that big. As long as the difference is not too large, they still have the courage to fight hard.
As for how Leylin knew these things, Isabelle and Tifa wisely didn't ask too much, after all, gods always have their own secrets.
Leylin also had no intention of sharing anything with them. After they all left, Leylin directly went down to the bottom of the cabin, looking at a group of cowardly native slaves.
As preparations for the expedition, these natives will act as translators and communicators to alleviate the aboriginals' resentment towards their invading colonists.
