Chapter 619 Nine Islands Alliance

When Luo Yuande mentioned the two familiar terms Hui An Dasi and the Nine Islands Alliance, the two familiar terms, Lin Lan's brows hidden under his sunglasses raised.

Putting aside the mention of Chief Hui An for the moment, this Nine Islands Alliance is the official force of the Liaozhou Nine Islands mentioned in the information provided by Jian Qianou.

The members of the Nine Islands Alliance are the hereditary island owners of the nine main islands in Liaozhou. The co-owner of the Nine Islands is the island owner with the strongest comprehensive ability jointly selected by them.

This means that the position of co-leader of the Nine Islands is not actually fixed to a certain island owner family, but a lifelong position until the end of his life.

So, why is it that there is a Shouzhou Island that sounds like the capital of Liaozhou, even though all nine island-owning families should have the opportunity to serve as the co-owners of the Nine Islands?

Regarding Lin Lan's question, Jian Qianou explained the reason in detail in the information provided.

It turns out that since Oran arrived in Liaozhou two hundred years ago, the co-owner of the nine islands in Liaozhou has always been the Chief Hui An.

In order to centralize power, Hui An, a member of the Shadow Snake Clan, directly renamed the main island where his family was located to Shouzhou Island.

In order to fight against the powerful enemy Oran, the other island owners agreed to the move of Hui An.

But later, as the United States of Oran changed its attitude towards Liaozhou, other island owners gradually discovered the ambitions of the Great Master Hui An:

That is to abolish the system in which the island owners have elected the co-leader of the Nine Islands for thousands of years, with the intention that the co-leader of the Nine Islands will always be hereditary by his family, and even abolish the hereditary system of island owners.

This is exactly why Tianou Group was able to control the owners of the four main islands so easily, making them willing to sign soul contracts with Jian Qianou.

For no other reason than simply because Huian Dasi has such ambitions and is so alive, the other main island owners feel a strong threat.

So since you are so ruthless and intend to give us no chance to become the co-owner of the Nine Islands, then why don't we find another way and use the power of Oran?

However, it is naturally impossible for the four island owners to disclose this to the public, and they are still obeying the orders of the Nine Islands Alliance, openly and secretly.

"So, how did this conflict end?"

Lin Lan thought of this and interrupted Luo Yuande.

As far as he knew, these four main islands were all important resource islands in Liaozhou.

According to his speculation, the reason why Chief Hui An chose to suddenly turn against him a year ago was most likely because the brave summoning ceremony failed and he was not successfully summoned to Liaozhou, so he became angry from embarrassment.

"Don't worry, Mr. Latent, although our Tianou Group branch is not as powerful as it used to be, it is still not something that the Liaozhou natives can bully."

Hearing his words, Luo Yuande straightened his back, looked at Lin Lan's face and said proudly:

"Although I don't know the specific circumstances of that conflict, the final result was that the Huian Chief took the initiative to withdraw the fleet and compensated us with a lot of supplies."

Although Luo Yuande said this, it seemed because Hui An was afraid of their Tianou Group.

But Lin Lan always felt that Hui'an Chief's move was too anticlimactic.

As the leader of the Nine Islands for more than two hundred years, how could such an ambitious old man give in so easily?

The Liaozhou branch of the Tianou Group, whose strength was greatly damaged, was not like the Iron-Blooded Ship Girl, who could make Jian Qianou surrender immediately after showing its crushing strength.

Even if Chief Hui An chooses to fight to the death with the Tianou Group, he feels it is very reasonable.

What is the reason why Chief Hui An would rather choose to lose his reputation, pay compensation for supplies, or surrender and withdraw his troops?

Lin Lan keenly felt that there must be something fishy, ​​but the inside story of that conflict was definitely out of reach of Luo Yuande's level.

He had a vague intuition that Hui An's sudden withdrawal was probably related to the revival of the Demon King's army.

He could only find out the specific situation after Tiancheng recovered and took the time to go to the Tianou Building on Zhubian Island and question the director Lu Feng face to face.

"Well, you've done a good job. Keep telling me about the changes in Liaozhou over the years. I see why there were still some Liaozhou combatants on the ship just now?"

After confirming this, Lin Lan continued to ask Luo Yuande.

"Back to Master Lurker, this is mainly because our fleet suffered too heavy losses, resulting in insufficient cargo protection force."

"In order to deal with those ocean monsters, pirates or sirens, the four general agents have chosen to sign long-term contracts with the Adventurers Association, so that the Liaozhou adventurer team can take over the commission and serve as cargo escorts."

Tianou Group would have recruited a large number of Liaozhou people as employees, so Luo Yuande had nothing to hide and directly told Lin Lan about the matter.

Later, Lin Lan asked about the situation of other Tianou groups in Liaozhou, as well as the situation on the nine islands of Liaozhou in the past ten years.

And he gradually understood why the Tianou Group was called an evil organization by his Chongsakura Ship girls and those Liaozhou people.

In fact, in the final analysis, this is all caused by the longing of the Oran people to return to their hometown.

No Oran people in Liaozhou don’t want to return to their homeland, return to the comfortable modern life, and reunite with their families.

In addition, the Tian'ou Group now has no supply assistance from Oran itself. In order to re-accumulate the resources of a powerful fleet and other reasons, the Tian'ou Group will naturally force the four island owners to increase their efforts to rule the island. tax.

In contrast, ordinary people in Liaozhou also miss their family members who were hired by Tianou Group to go to Oran and have not returned yet.

Lin Lan could imagine that in the eyes of ordinary Liaozhou people, the pillar of the family was gone, the taxes were getting heavier year by year, and the monster invasions became more and more frequent in recent years, and the safety of life could not be guaranteed.

This also explains why the current Tianou Group is scolded as an evil organization. If he were in the same situation, he would also hate the Tianou Group.

After all, the former Tianou Group had a good reputation in Liaozhou. Even the Liaozhou Chamber of Commerce and the various modern technologies it brought made the lives of many Liaozhou people colorful.

Otherwise, he would not have seen so many Liaozhou residents who took the initiative to work in Oran United States.

When the routes between the two countries are restored in the future, all these problems will be solved.

Before going to the Siren Fortress, he would definitely blame the Siren.

But when he was in the Siren Fortress, he and the Sakura Empire ship girls saw the demon army monsters imprisoned in the fortress experimental area by the Purifiers and Clearers, and they already knew the culprit of all these tragedies.

That is the mysterious enemy X.

In his opinion, the actions of the Siren host were like a machine without emotions.

It disdained to communicate with anyone, nor did it disdained to cooperate with anyone, but efficiently and coldly executed what it thought was the most correct thing.

Siren had chosen to separate various regions in order to preserve the entire world more than once or twice.

After collecting the information he wanted, it was exactly half an hour, and the orange sunset had already touched the sea level in the sky and was about to fall.

After Lin Lan looked at Dafeng beside him, he knew that it was time to return to the Sakura Fleet.

So he asked Luo Yuande the last question casually:

"What is on your freighter and where is the destination?"
