Chapter 842 The Overall Situation
The first stop of the huge ship on the return journey is Anthony's Grand Port, which is the closest port city to Treasure Island. That fat man Antoine really has a lot of skills. .
Even, Antoine never deposited money in a pirate bank from the beginning to the end. Of course, this may have something to do with him being a miser. It would be better to kill him than let him put his wealth in the hands of a bunch of pirates.
Judging from the documents seized by the pirate group, Antoine has been cooperating closely with the pirate group.
Anthony Dagang will sell enough food and daily necessities to the pirate group at a price no higher than 50% of the market price every quarter. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The two parties are very happy to cooperate.
The pirate group will give the lord of Antoine Dagang a face to a certain extent. Those chambers of commerce and merchant ships that have official cooperation with Antoine, the pirates will not make trouble for them, but other gangsters have to pay taxes normally. Pirate tax .
This time Xu Yichen chose Antoine Dagang as a stop, on the one hand to deter the remaining forces of the church, and on the other hand to take away that fat man Antoine.
As a port city, Anthony's Grand Port is considered abolished. At least in the next few years, neither the Church nor New China will allow this city to open to the outside world. It will be blocked to a limited extent until it is safe.
During this process, the forces represented by Xu Yichen himself, the church forces headed by Pastor Li Cha, and the Druids of the Ring of Shepherds who may be involved will all send their own people to supervise.
The witcher didn't know whether Max would choose to leave, but he knew that Antoine would definitely find a chance to leave Port Antoine after he understood the situation.
That fat man is a businessman. To put it bluntly, he is a businessman with a sense of responsibility and a little bit of ambition, but if you expect him to live and die with Anthony Dagang when he has a choice, that is a dream.
Now, for all forces, Antony Port is a negative asset. There are nearly 10,000 citizens under observation in the city, and there are more than a thousand armed soldiers stationed outside the city. For extraordinary people, the consumption of food and grass alone is an astronomical figure. , and this is still a continuous consumption. At least in the next six months, Anthony Dagang will not be able to support himself.
Fortunately, the supplies brought by the fleet could last in a short period of time, and the church had to hold its nose to admit the account because of Pastor Richard, and the druids who were worth looking forward to, they were the largest in the Far South region. The organization of spellcasters cannot let the famine happen.
When the giant ship of the Song Empire arrived at the temporary port outside Antony's Port, as Xu Yichen expected, Mr. Antoine, as the lord, had never even entered his own city. After a period of one to two years of isolation, he lived directly in the paladin's camp.
"Xu, we're old acquaintances!" Antoine stood in front of the witcher with a deadpan face: "You can't leave me here, my talent doesn't allow me to be wasted like this! The Reese people have recently occupied a lot of land and made a lot of money, why don't you let me take care of it, and I guarantee that your assets will double by this time next year!"
Xu Yichen resisted the urge to roll his eyes, this fat man does have this ability, but the current situation is that they don't care about money at all!
The ambition of expanding the territory is burning in the bones of the New China people. With local support, the current number one task of the Retribution Corps is to eat up the land in the Far South completely before other posts. !
At the very least, all resource production areas and important transportation areas must be occupied!
During this period of time, Yang Yuefan has built the Wangxiang City-Storm's End-Antony Port communication line, and three Southeast Asian players recruited in Godrim City took two airships to transmit information on this line.
For the sake of confidentiality, all high-level members of the Retribution Battle Group currently use passwords for communication. Except for Xu Yichen, Yang Yuefan, Nangong Yujun, and military doctor Li Bingheng, the others are making up for the basics of cryptography.
When Xu Yichen landed on the land of Antony Dagang, Yang Yuefan sent the latest news through the human communication link: "A large number of EU native mercenaries are moving to the far south, be careful."
Although there was only such a little news, the witcher immediately realized the danger.
EU players have not been able to fully control much land until now. Except for a few small duchies, all their attempts to seize power have been extinguished by the noble council and the royal blood alliance.
Even the already-occupied basic territory is in danger of being affected. Several old knight orders have received the task of thoroughly investigating the ruling power of various small countries. Thousands of extraordinary knights are dividing into countless scattered teams to run around on the Old Continent .
For a time, the conflicts between the players and the extraordinary organizations of the aborigines increased sharply, and the entire civilization circle of the Old Continent was full of flames.
At this time, Far South, as a land of no man, immediately attracted the attention of the EU people. In fact, it was not only them, but also the American imperial players who were in a more miserable situation. , Waiting for the server to connect to the Far South to flex its muscles.
But now, Xinhua, the veteran hooligan, seemed to be standing in front of everyone again. He was truly a man who could not be humiliated.
In addition to the EU players raising funds, the American imperial players also donated generously, taking part of their own small savings to hire some people from the old continent to give eye drops to the new Chinese people.
You have got all the loess area in your hands, and you want to eat more and occupy more so that we can't even drink soup?
Xu Yichen pieced together a map of the entire territory of the Far South that was not accurate, but the general outline was correct. The locations of Antony Dagang and Wangxiang City were in the northwest of the Far South Continent.
As for the war dogs that are about to land, the first goal is obviously the southwestern region further south, and the city of Godrim is obviously a choice, because further south is the territory of the Amazon tribe and the Jotunheim people.
The Retribution Wargroup has already contacted Godrim City once, and took away many players from there. The newly appointed Lord Elizabeth showed kindness to the Siris, but the nobles in the city who were persecuted by the Amazon forces immediately turned to church forces .
Now, Godrim City has gathered a lot of clergymen, those evacuated from Antony Port, those who survived the Wangxiang City War, and those who came from the Old Continent, looking like a church bridgehead.
