Chapter 3166: Convincing people with reason
". Gu believes that those who are willing to stay are those who still have expectations for the future of the Ada race. They all have other things besides enjoyment in their own lives. Those who pursue more advanced pursuits are those who still have ideals left in their hearts."
In the hall of the Prince's Palace in Dragon Nest, Suoshiyang stood on the high platform. The hall was full of people. Pirate barons and captains dressed in fancy clothes and armor.
After this chaos, there are less than a thousand captains left here. In the past, the Void Dragon Pirates were known as three thousand captains and one hundred thousand pirates. Now the total number is less than thirty thousand, although this is still a huge group. number, but compared to the past, it can be said to have fallen.
Some people died in the civil strife, and some broke away from the pirate group and left alone, either returning to their former hometowns or looking for new opportunities. The last part was absorbed by the evil predator pirate group, and this The pirate group even boldly approached the battlefield and observed the large-scale naval battle between the Royal Court and Comoros at close range.
After learning that the famous pirate prince Yrel quietly arrived on the battlefield and took in many pirates who escaped from the void dragon, Soshyan immediately became interested in him.
But this man was obviously as arrogant as the rumors. He ignored Soshyan's request and arrogantly attacked the conspiracy group who fled the battlefield.
At that time, Giulio Pula Xingshuai sent a communication to Soshiyang, hoping to teach this arrogant guy who dared to pick peaches under the eyes of the royal court, but Soshiyang refused.
Yrel did not intervene in this dispute, and the pirates who broke away, Soshyan, also said that they would let them go. At least the two sides have no hostile attitude yet, and after hearing about Yrel's past After the rumors, Soshiyang still has some love for talents. It is understandable that young people are a little unruly, and they can be changed the day after tomorrow, but if there is such a thing as talent, it is there, and if it is not, it is not there.
Of course, in fact, the work of gathering people's hearts is not worthy of him, but considering that Salanya has never encountered such a situation, in the end it was Soshyan who personally came forward to do something inspiring. speech.
Salanya stood on his right side, looking very serious with her hands behind her back.
"Gu is not good at drawing cakes, and many of his words are straightforward. What I can tell you is that the national policy, or core purpose, of the royal court is to solve the eternal threat and put the people trapped in the The goddess of life in the realm of Nurgle was saved. To accomplish these two major things, it is not possible to rely on the strength of one person. It requires the joint efforts of all Ada. You must also know what happened in the Dragon Nest. There is a saying As the old saying goes, there are no eggs left in the nest. As long as the threat is still hanging over your head, there is no point in escaping or ignoring it. The only way to survive is to face the threat and solve it. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Salanya on his right.
"Of course, you can rest assured that the Royal Court is not trying to annex the Void Dragon Pirate Group. Ms. Salanya will still be your leader in the future - if you are still willing to continue serving and sailing in the void, just The Void Dragon Pirates will return to their past identity as the ancient Corso Fleet and the official armed force of the ancient empire. You will also gain the status of citizens of the Royal Court and enjoy full citizenship rights. Of course, you must also accept the laws of the Royal Court. The measurement is generally close to the loosest Ark of Samhan, which will not make everyone feel particularly suffocated. However, for the sake of future diplomatic environment, the Royal Court does not allow armed plundering of non-enemy targets. "
This. Suddenly, a one-eyed pirate baron with a black animal fur on his shoulders raised his hand, and Soshyan nodded slightly.
"Please say."
"Your Highness the Phoenix King, please forgive my rudeness, but I think this question must be bothering many captains. What kind of existence are you?"
Sosh After Yang was silent for a few seconds, he replied slowly: "I have many identities. I don't deny this. It can even be said that it is untrue. But Gu can answer you. Gu's ancestors do have Ada blood, and Gu's family history even It can be traced back to before the Great Fall, but due to the long time, a lot of history has been annihilated. However, one thing is certain, that is, Gu has the power of Asuryan, and the Phoenix Forbidden Army is proof of it."
At this time, another pirate raised his hand, and Soshyan also allowed him to ask questions.
"Your Highness, has anyone said that they saw you transforming into the God of Bloody Hands?"
"This is related to an artifact I obtained. It was from the ancient Temple of Cain. It allowed me to temporarily Use Kane's violent power, but this power is very dangerous and will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary."
Then, the third person asked a question that is generally difficult to answer.
"Your Highness, if a war breaks out between the Royal Court and the Human Empire, what are you going to do?"
However, Soshiyang has been asked this more than once over the years; A very mature rhetoric.
"We will try our best to avoid this happening. If it is unavoidable, we will do our best to minimize the damage."
Although his answer is not agreed with everyone, at least it is a response. , in Ada society where arrogance and riddle culture are popular, explanation itself is a very kind gesture.
". Gu also considered that some captains may not be able to adapt to a relatively fixed life, so Gu decided to establish a Shadow Dragon sub-fleet, which is affiliated to the Corso fleet. Its main tasks are patrolling and reconnaissance. , exploration and other more frequent and dangerous operations, if the captain is willing to continue his adventurous career, he can join this fleet."
After Soshyan's speech, the people's hearts that were fluctuating due to the turmoil finally gradually stabilized. After coming down, he took a brief inventory of the existing ships of the Void Dragon Pirate Group.
In addition to the Void Stalker, the Corso Flame, there are two other ships, named the Endless Winter and the Bloodweb. They all belong to the relatives of Sarannia who launched the rebellion, and these people Basically all of them are dead, and those who are not dead have also fled to Comoros, so these two ships now belong to Salania. You must know that the average pirate group has a Void Stalker, just like the previous Steel Eyes plunder. The largest battleship is a dragon ship, and it is also the flagship of Canelli - now this ship still belongs to her.
In addition, there are 11 Star Eclipse-class ships, 20 Shadow-class ships, 41 Aurora-class ships, 52 Hemlock-class ships, 47 Aconite-class ships, plus other small pirate ships of different types, for a total of 917 ships. Shiyan estimated that the actual number was smaller, and only after actually seeing those pirate ships did Soshiyan realize why the Void Dragon Pirate Group had so many ships.
They are too small and crude to even be called battleships. It might be more appropriate to call them armed gunboats.
