"Reporting to the captain, there are currently 42 people on the Ghost Sheep including me, including 33 sailors, 1 helmsman, 1 cook, 4 gunners, and 2 wounded people who are recuperating in the cabin. When we disembarked just now, I didn't take them with me. Besides, the people on the Ghost Sheep..."
Pleasant leaned on the railing of the Ghost Sheep, listening to Suo An's report. He stretched and cast his eyes boredly to the blue sea in the distance. He slowly said to Suo An: "Okay, okay, I We already know it very clearly. You don’t need to continue reporting to me. Change the sailing direction and let’s go to Cattrall.”
Cattrall is one of the few large towns in Norton. It is known as the trading capital of Norton. In the extremely turbulent Norton, Cattrall has enough power to maintain its own safety and wealth far beyond other towns.
The city lord of Cattrall is Count Ikarnad, who has the strength of a high-ranking archmage.
In Norton, a spellcaster who has reached the awakening level is enough to become the top combat power here, let alone a high-level archmage who is close to legend.
The presence of Ikanad is enough to make Cattrall a safe place in the eyes of Norton civilians, making residents of some surrounding small towns and harbors want to live in Cattrall. This is a prosperous city in their eyes, and it is also the most popular city in their eyes. safe place.
But what I just said is just the tip of Cattrall's iceberg in Norton. Where there is light, there must be a corresponding shadow, and Cattrall is no exception.
This city, known as the "Norton Trade Capital", is the best place for pirates to sell their looted goods.
At the same time, Carter's products are also favored by slave traders. In the black market of this city, relevant transactions are concluded almost every day, and a large number of slaves are transferred to other provinces of the Sky Eagle Empire. .
The city lord here, Count Icanard, who is a high-ranking archmage, also has a close relationship with the pirate forces around Norton.
Plisson can be said to be an old friend of the city lord. Black Crow Port is close to Cattrall. Most of the goods robbed by pirates will flow to this so-called trade capital. Plisson is in charge of Black Crow Port. In the past three years, there have been almost millions of dollars in goods transactions between Black Crow Port and Cattrall, and the source of this money is not clean.
Of course, the cooperation between them was only for profit, and there was also mutual suspicion. The earl had sent many of his men to Black Crow Port. There may have been some undercover personnel who were not exposed until they died under the gun of the navy. His own undercover status.
However, there were also many undercover agents that Pleason put into Cattrallso. Those people were relatively loyal to him. After the Black Crow Harbor was destroyed, these undercover agents who inserted themselves into Cattrall became his hands. The only trump card, and if these guys in Cattrall's belly are used well, they can kill him with one blow.
"If I can get rid of the old Biden in Ikarnad, I can control Cattrall secretly. That is a good place. Not only that, the mission in the Eternal Core that wants me to occupy the territory can also be completed. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone." Plisson silently considered his plan in his heart.
If he wants to complete the task given to him by the core, Cattrall is currently the fastest and best choice.
Many of his men have already secured positions with Count Ikanald, which will make it easier for him to control Cattrall's plans.
Just when Pleasant had determined his target, Soan told him a piece of news that he didn't expect.
"What? Cattrall's city lord's palace was taken away by Vitor! When did it happen?" Plisson couldn't believe it.
"On the night after Black Crow Port was captured, Count Ikanard colluded with the Mysterious Society of the Evil God Sect to build a large formation in Cattrall and prepare to carry out a sacrificial ceremony for the Evil God 'Sage'."
"The new governor happened to come across this incident that night, and then Count Ikarnad and several of the Mysterians who accompanied him died under his hands. Cattrall is now taken over by the Imperial Navy."
Plisson listened to Soan's story, and his heart was filled with shock and ups and downs.
Is this guy the Flash? Killed me and that old Biden from Ikanad in one night? What Skyhawk speed? 5G signals are not even that fast.
"... Ikarnad is a real Earl of the Empire. The new governor just killed him like this. Isn't he afraid of getting into trouble?" Plisson pondered.
As the governor of the Sky Eagle Empire, Vitor does have the highest law enforcement authority in Norton. But facing a count with real power, even if the evidence of the other party's collusion with the Evil God Sect is conclusive, he cannot be killed directly.
The aristocratic forces are intertwined. The new aristocracy has a circle of new aristocrats, and the old aristocrats have a system of old aristocrats. At the top of these layers, there are big figures who control the power of the empire. Killing Ikanade rashly is undoubtedly Breaking the rules of the nobles, even if the evidence of the other party's guilt is conclusive, they should first submit it to the official organization "World Tree" and let them organize the capture of Ikanad, and then contact the Imperial Court to prepare for trial.
Although it would be easier to kill Ikanad directly, it would be tantamount to slapping the face of the noble group behind him, especially the face of the big shot who awarded him the title.
The title of Ikanad was awarded to Duke Golden Elk among the Twelve Dukes of Aquila. He is the largest industrialist in the Northern Territory of Aquila, a model among the new nobles, one of the 12 members of the Aquila Senate, and a man who truly controls the real world. A powerful figure.
Even the governor of a province would not dare to offend any of the twelve Sky Eagle Dukes easily. As members of the Sky Eagle Senate, they have the right to decide whether a governor should go or stay, even saying that Vito The governor himself was promoted by the Duke of Annecy, who was also one of the Twelve Dukes.
After killing Ikanad, the new governor may be in constant trouble.
Plissen was secretly worried about the new governor.
Deserve it! If I hadn't escaped quickly that night, I would have been hacked to death by this guy. It would have been a good idea to let this guy feel the dangers of the feudal aristocratic power.
When he thought of Vitor being shoed by his boss, Plisson felt particularly comfortable.
"...Captain, I think the Governor is not afraid. Instead, it may be the aristocratic forces behind Count Ikanade that cause trouble." Suoan said hesitantly.
"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk randomly. Does Vitor have any special background?"
"...He is the son of the Grand Duke of the North."
