"In the name of the Lord of Dream Soldiers! Eliminate evil!"

Donald immediately knelt down and prayed for the grace of God he believed in.

Sizzle!

Behind him, the strange symbol of the drowning man suddenly seemed to come alive, with lines turning blood red, and the vertical eyes in the middle blinked.

Gulugulu!

I don't know how many bubbles appeared, and Donald even felt a big hole in his back, as if he was a faucet connecting the sea.

A large amount of liquid came out at once.

"Firm your beliefs, and when you are confused, don't listen to the voices from the deep sea. I will protect my believers..."

Fang Yuan's voice came from the church emblem, with a vague smell.

Boom!

The space was shocked.

It was as if two giant beasts met on a narrow road and fought fiercely.

Donald screamed and almost fainted.

When he realized it, he immediately went to see the mark behind him.

But at this time, where can there be a half-shadow of the mark?

Only a thin pool of sea water on the ground and a large black fish with white belly made Donald know that everything that happened just now was definitely not an illusion.

"Thank you, my Lord, have saved me again!"

Donald, who understood all the causes and consequences, immediately prayed in a more pious manner than usual.

"Mr. Donald!"

At this time, a rapid knock on the door came.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to let anyone disturb me?"

Donald frowned, but went over and opened the door.

"Sorry! Sir, there is a messenger from Duke Ham, who must meet you right away...you are..."

There is no doubt that the scene inside the house immediately aroused the butler's exclamation.

"Nothing...I'm just doing a small experiment. Also, if the news here goes out, I think you'll go to Birch Street to find a new job tomorrow."

Donald tidied up his clothes: "Take me to see this guest!"

“No problem.”

The butler was so excited that his waist was a little straighter than usual.

"Dear Mr. Donald!"

The messenger from Duke Ham was a servant who often served Duke Ham. When he saw Donald, he immediately seemed to have seen a savior: "Duke Duke hopes to see you, immediately! Immediately!"

"I understand...it seems like something happened...a very amazing thing!"

Donald nodded, took the coat from the butler and got on the carriage.

Inside the Duke of Ham's estate.

At this time, the old noble man no longer had the leisure he had before. Instead, he stared at a war report in his hand, like a sculpture, stagnating there for a long time.

"Master Duke?"

Donald called out tentatively.

"Ah... Donald, you're here..."

Duke Ham rubbed his brows and let out a wailing cry as if he was about to die: "I will carry the first ship to leave the port tomorrow to Cicele, and you will also go together as my personal consultant!"

"On a mission?" Donald frowned: "Is it... that something went wrong with the previous naval battle?"

"How do you know?"

Duke Ham subconsciously hid the battle report in his hand, and his sharp eyes were fixed on Donald like a falcon.

"Because there is no second thing that can make Insmann show goodwill to Sissel, the second most powerful maritime power... and the major events that have happened in the kingdom recently seem to be related to the sea. If I guess well, I must have just received the war report? Did our General Fili suffer a painful failure?"

Donald answered quietly.

"No! More serious than that!"

Duke Ham closed his eyes in pain: "No more...our Invincible Armada!"

“…”

Donald returns with silence: "This is really a news full of sadness and misfortune!"

"Yes... Our Navy Minister fainted at the moment of receiving the news... The sinking of more than forty steam and steel ships is an unbearable loss for our country... Of course, there are tens of thousands of Insmann Navy boys and families they need to appease..."

Duke Ham said in pain.

"Why, was it a storm? Or was it some irresistible factor?" Donald asked quickly.

"No, this is a complete failure. The main force of the navy led by General Fili was defeated by the pirate King Rochi in a head-on battle... This is a shame for all of us Insman!"

Duke Ham gritted his teeth.

"It seems... many colonies outside the sea, and many interests, are about to be unable to be saved..." Donald's eyes turned quickly: "So, we need allies, and there is no doubt that Cicele is the most suitable, because it is the only powerful country that may catch up with us in the navy... How many interests and colonies are prepared to ced it to it?"

"It depends on the result of my mission, so I need your help..." Duke Ham looked at Donald sincerely.

"It should be like this, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!" Donald murmured: "The power of this group of pirates is too much beyond our expectations. Once pirates are prevalent, think about how terrible things will happen? Most of the ocean transactions will be cut off, and no ship dares to sail, unless it is a pirate ship with a skeleton flag! I think... we can hype the harm of pirates, and not only win over the Cissels, but also win over the entire Olfal continent and build an anti-pirate alliance!"

Insmann is just an island country. Although the previous navy is amazing, the army really can't stand on the mainland.

What's more, although it had a huge invincible fleet before, it was only compared to other countries.

If all other countries unite, the ships, tonnage and number of crew members will be beyond the reach of Insmann.

"Anti-Piracy Alliance? Is this possible?"

A trace of light came out from Duke Ham's eyes.

"Of course it is possible. As long as we exaggerate the evil deeds of pirates, the ship owners will probably not want to see pirates completely monopolize this financial path... Trade and profit, in pursuing this goal, we share a common language with other countries on the Olfar continent, and this world is very big... The strength of the Insman family may not be able to monopolize the trade needs of the entire world. Therefore, we need exchanges and cooperation. The integration of the entire Olfar region will form a trend in the future... I will discuss this in my new book..."

Donald talked freely.

"Very good, I think it's definitely the most appropriate decision to invite you as my consultant."

Duke Ham almost applauded: "Excellent insight!"

In fact, he also understood the unfinished meaning in Donald's words.

Even if Cicere can win over, the Royal Navy, which does not have much strength at this time, will become a vassal.

But if an alliance is formed, everyone will be allies, which is a little different.

After all, Insmann before could not be compared with the total naval sum of the entire Olfal continent, and Cicel was even more so.

...

"Very good. It seems that Insman's defeat has promoted the emergence of the league!"

In the sea of ​​nightmare.

With the howling of the pirates, the Insman fortifications on a large island completely fell.

A navy captain looked gray and led other soldiers who could move out and presented his sword to the proud pirate.

This scene happened one after another in the sea of ​​nightmare.

What it represents is that the pirates regained all the territory of the original Blackbeard in the Nightmare Sea with an easy attack like a parade.

"In this way, the most wealthy golden route is completely under my control!"

Fang Yuan smiled and looked at the direct descendants behind him.

In the sea of ​​nightmare, a pirate governor needs to be in charge, which of course can only be promoted from his direct line.

Therefore, these subordinates have been working very hard recently.

"But... our future actions also need to be changed. Just like those pirate governors, we need to change our thinking. We can only gain temporary wealth through robbery, but will kill the hen that lays golden eggs..."

"And, the world is too big, with our strength, it is impossible to fully develop, so we cannot leave the participation of the continent of Olfal."

"So, when we master this route, we must collect protection fees and sink all ships that dare to oppose us... At the same time, absorb more capital, and you can't expect a group of pirates to do business! In the end, I hope you will become protectors of maritime trade, not destroyers!"

The promulgation of the Pirate Code is only the first step to regulate piracy.

What follows is to start directly interfering with the pirates' "free" nature.

What are the consequences of forcibly reversing the nature of a profession?

For the details of the reforms Fang Yuan wanted to carry out, we can refer to those emperors who wanted to influence the interests of officials, gentlemen and officials in ancient times.

He could have predicted the next backlash.

If you support the past, you can truly master the lifeline of the ocean like Insman and build an extremely brilliant maritime empire.
To be continued...
