YM778.TV Chapter 547: 547
They could only agree.
This was because they could sense that something was amiss from Kant’s words.
Everyone knew that the Skyquaking Dragon had interfered in the Songyue War for Princess Tina. It could be said to be a model of true love. For the sake of his lover, he was willing to be enemies with the world’s hegemon. What a beautiful love story.
And he had even won-this was already a legendary epic.
If the Tedarell family and even Goethe’s political circles had any intelligence, they would know that they should worship this lord. And it seemed that this was indeed the case. Ever since the crisis of the Dragon Corps, the Blue Wave Province had felt the full support of Goethe’s court for this Forbidden Mage.
The establishment of the Investigation Corps, the continuous supply of resources, the deployment of military equipment, and the order for the counties and cities along the way to cooperate with them were all part of the plan. Both the Goethe people and the foreigners believed that Tedarell would do its best to tie them together with Kant and enjoy the protection of the Sword of Intimidation.
They subconsciously felt that this sweet honeymoon period would last for a very, very long time.
They were still cheering when the god-like warship leaped out and swept through the dragons at lightning speed, resolving the crisis at the distant port.
But now, they realized a very serious problem.
Kant, who had just returned from Lucerne, displayed his cold hostility and unyielding attitude.
The rulers of the Far Harbor were all political animals, and this was related to their position. These old foxes keenly smelled a bad smell.
Kant was using this incident to show his authority to Distant Harbor.
Just as he said, he wanted Faraway Harbor to know who he was.
Not only those stupid mobs, but also the upper class.
Since ancient times, anyone who displayed authority would seek authority without exception.
He wanted to control the Far Harbor!
Revenge against the instigators and rioters was a small matter to these big shots. They were just ants, and the number of people killed could be replenished. However, Kant’s intention hidden in his order was the real storm. He wanted to encroach on the power of Goethe’s largest port city on the west coast.
Moreover, he still had the ability to do so.
The gigantic warship that he had never seen before was enough to turn the distant port into a sea of fire. Kant had already brandished his sword, which was the weapon of the fearful sailors of the fleets of the three countries who had surrendered to him.
These people came from the Empire, the Council, and the elves. They were infected with unknown substances, and Kant was their only savior. This was an extremely terrifying thing because these crazy soldiers did not come from Goethe. They were foreigners, so they did not have any psychological or moral burden. If Kant gave the order, they would not hesitate at all.
They would kill until Kant was satisfied.
This was the reason why the big shots of Distant Harbor had no choice but to agree immediately.
That was because if Kant really summoned the three navies into the distant harbor to exact revenge, the ones who would die would definitely not just be those stupid and ignorant ants.
If these nobles and bureaucrats did not want to die, they only had one choice.
That was to kill until Kant was satisfied on behalf of the three navies.
Kant stood silently in the quiet square as he watched them leave in a panic.
“How ruthless,” Lily said lightly.
” I won’t kill them all,” Kant said.” I’m just punishing them. Some things have to be paid for if they’ve done something wrong. That’s the natural truth.”
“I ended the war and saved these people. I didn’t expect them to be grateful and work for me without complaint. However, they actually questioned me, insulted me, and betrayed me. If I didn’t kill them, others would see it and learn from them. They would know that they wouldn’t pay the price for betraying me. Then, in the future, when benefits came first, they would learn from me and even do more radical actions. At that time, I would have no choice but to kill more people. Then even more people would die.”
“So I killed these people now to warn more people to kill to protect their lives.”
These words were so dignified that the eight dragons in the background could not help but look sideways.
This Forbidden Mage who wielded great power was actually so shameless. This changed the dragons ‘impression of humans. They hated and feared him, and even felt a trace of kinship.
Because they knew the same dragon.
Do you think I manipulate finance and create loopholes in commercial contracts just to make money? Wrong. I am using my great and ancient wisdom to remind these pitiful short-lived species of the loopholes in their shallow and fragile financial and commercial systems. I am reminding them to be alert and fix them early so that they will not suffer more losses in the future. I am helping them!
Perhaps this was the power of a superior.
Lily clicked her tongue.” You said you didn’t plan to kill them all. What are you going to do with them?”
Kant strolled in the quiet square. Anyone who might appear in the surroundings had been chased away in advance. Kant could see more than half of the city from here. There were beautiful two-story buildings, as well as low, dirty shacks.
“The troublemakers are either stupid or bad.”
” The foolish ones are the fools who blindly follow the foolishness. They need to be reformed through labor. From the development of the underground world to the establishment of the fortress on the surface, to the road construction, mining, and camp construction, they will be able to pay for their sins and walk out of their ignorance. They will be aware of the stupidity and shortsightedness in the past. When they pay for their betrayal through labor and sweat, they will sincerely repent to me and feel ashamed of their past selves. Then, the relationship between me and them will be written off.
” As for the bad ones, they’re the sh * t who got paid to do things. They have to die and be executed in public. They have to be hung on the roof of Sunny Building as a warning to others. This is the boundary.”
Kant explained clearly.
Lily nodded and said,” Then there’s another problem. People who are paid to do things are not necessarily bad people. Maybe their whole family is too hungry to eat and want to…”
Kant glanced at him.” If I hadn’t ended this war, they wouldn’t have just been starving. I don’t care if they took the money to indulge in debauchery or to feed their mothers. What they did is what they did. They betrayed my kindness, so I’ll take back what I gave them. Any questions?”
Lily lowered her eyes and shook her head.” No problem. The winner has the right to do anything. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be as clear as you. They would only kill until they vented their anger. But…”
She subconsciously glanced at her fellow dragons beside her. These dragons also revealed disapproving expressions. Most dragons were born with contempt for weak, short-lived species, let alone in this situation.
But the fire thief…
She couldn’t bring this up in front of the Outer Dragon.
“I have no intention of comparing you to others… Kant, but…”
As a dragon, Lily did not care much about the life and death of heartless or brainless humans. However, she learned about the previous Fire Stealer from her father’s diary.
She felt that she had to do something…He wanted to prevent Kant from repeating the same mistake.
Kant glanced at her and seemed to have recalled something. He fell into a brief silence.
Lily fell silent.
She knew that she could not say anything more.
After a while, Kant came back to his senses and saw three people standing at the edge of the square.
Further away, the third squad was waiting.
From this side, one could see that their clothing styles and colors were very different.
“How long have they been standing there?”
“Ten minutes, my lord.”
” We don’t want to disturb your thoughts,” said a dragon before Lily could.
” Yes.” Kant nodded.” Invite them over.”
These three were the commanders of the fleets of the three countries who had been summoned by Kant to the distant port to accept the surrender. They were Brigadier General Cavilonza, commander of Goethe’s expedition fleet, a member of the Royal Navy of Sunset Moon. They were also the secret seeker of the Arcane Magic Council’s Azure Fleet, Niola, and a terrified brother of theirs.
The mental outlook of the three formed a sharp contrast.
Brigadier General Cavissauron had a graceful bearing. While paying his respects, he still maintained his dignity as the world’s strongest naval commander. Wizard Neola was also defending the pride of Spell Casters, but panic and fear were still unwittingly revealed. After all, he had lost more than half of his fleet, and Afu’s cannon was truly shocking.
As for the remaining temporary commander of the dynasty’s fleet, he was like a quail that had fallen into the water. After all, the dynasty’s fleet was the most severely damaged. The flagship Black Pine Forest and the fleet’s command were all wiped out, and the captains who took over the command kept dying in battle. After four or five rounds, it was finally him, the second generation who came to be gilded.
Therefore, he was the most respectful and humble.
Kant sat at the edge of the fountain in the center of the square. He scooped up the cool water and said,” We won’t go in and talk about it in detail. We’ll settle things here. You can go back and prepare as soon as possible.”
He pointed at the edge of the room and said,”Sit anywhere you like.”
The elf glanced over and frowned slightly.
It was a little inappropriate. Moreover, it was impossible to observe the changes in Kant’s expression during the conversation. However, if he were to stand, it would be a little disrespectful for Kant to look up at him.
Before he could finish his thoughts, the man from the Empire had already half-knelt. He bent his back slightly and maintained a height that was shorter than Kant’s. He smiled.” Sir, can I do this?”
—Damn imperials! Don’t let me see your ship at sea next time!
I’ll pull out all the masts for you!
This bastard was shameless. He had put the elves and mages in an awkward position. Their dignity did not allow them to be so humble. However, this bastard had done so. If Kant did not do so, he might be unhappy in Kant’s eyes. Damn it, the people of the Empire were unreliable.
“.. How troublesome.”
Kant waved his hand.” Don’t kneel. Sit on the ground.”
The man from the Empire immediately knelt down on both knees, sat on his heels, and placed his hands on his thighs.
The well-behaved and perfect Skyquaking Ancient Ceremony.
The elf elegantly sat cross-legged.
The mage thought for a moment and made a small stool with earth elements.
Kant turned a blind eye to their petty tricks and schemes. This was the benefit of being a winner. Only losers would be troubled by such matters, while he could do whatever he wanted.
The winner’s clause was also set.
“Let me introduce you to these dragons.”
Kant pointed at the bodyguards around him. The dragons wore polite smiles and bowed slightly in greeting, but they still maintained the arrogance of dragons.
This was also one of the expression management projects that the Dragon Emperor had personally finalized. Its purpose was to let the employer feel the vanity and satisfaction of ” the giant dragon I hired is arrogant and arrogant, despises all living creatures as ants, but only respects me. This is a f * cking giant dragon. This money is well spent. It’s simply awesome.”
Bringing such a giant dragon out was more prestigious than bringing 300 beautiful girls.
” They’ve sworn to the Dragon God that they’ll serve me for a while before the Dragon Emperor takes them home,” Kant said.” It’s a reward for me removing the element of contradiction from their bodies.”
The three commanders were instantly moved.
The deepest impression that this inexplicable yet terrifying battle had on them was the corrosion of an extremely terrifying unknown substance. The rotting dragon stretched out its stinky tentacles, and even the warships could be corroded and controlled. The crew of the warships were infected by the terrifying demonic substance, and some people had lost all their rationality. They were reduced to claws and fangs, attacking their former comrades…
What was worse was that even though the warships that were infected and controlled by the mutated dragon had been wiped out by Kant, the survivors were more or less infected due to the close combat. They could even feel some terrifying changes in their bodies. They had also witnessed the fate of their comrades.
In other words, what they were looking forward to the most now was to quickly get rid of this foreign substance.
The three commanders had come for this reason.
Hearing Kant’s hint, even the most elegant elf no longer held back.
“What do we need to pay?” they asked at the same time.
“Don’t worry.”
Kant’s words silenced them all.
“You led the army and approached the distant port. You received the order. I won’t hold this debt against you, but…” The Fire Stealer looked at the elf commander.” I’ll start with you. I’ll ask you a few questions.”
Kavisaron’s heart skipped a beat.
He thought to himself.
As expected, Kant asked,” When the infected dynasty’s fleet was about to launch an attack on the distant harbor, it was your fleet that deterred them from killing. But after the mutated dragons appeared, you rejected my son’s suggestion to join the battle and left. Is that true?”
The elf commander’s expression remained unchanged as he nodded.
” Do you regret it?” Kant asked.
“I regret it.” The pointy ears nodded again.
” I’ll let you choose again. Do you still dare?” Kant’s face was expressionless.
” If I knew that more aberrant dragons would attack us indiscriminately soon after the fleet set sail,” the elf said without hesitation.” I would definitely choose to intervene in the battlefield. If I knew that after the bitter battle, your warship would sweep through the enemy like thunder, I would definitely order the fleet to block the distant harbor and focus on stopping the dragons that are trying to attack the distant harbor.”
” What if you don’t know?” Kant asked.
“Then we’ll still choose to sail away,” Kavisaron said decisively.
As soon as he said that, the people from the Empire and the mages beside him quietly glanced over. Their gazes were different, but the meaning was roughly the same-pointy ears of an idiot, his brain was indeed made of wood.
” Why?” Kant asked with interest.
” Stop the Empire’s fleet from killing innocent people,” the elf answered frankly.” It was the Queen who ordered us to control the situation, and we abided by her orders. However, the subsequent changes were beyond the Queen’s expectations. I have to consider the safety of my soldiers. This is not our war, and we have no obligation…”
“I’m not asking why you did this. I’m asking why you told the truth.” Kant laughed.” Dignity? Elves never lie?”
” No, sir. In fact, elves lie, and elves deceive.”
The Brigadier General looked back at Kant.” But we also know that telling a lie that can be seen through at a glance will only incur the disgust and contempt of the victor.”
“That makes sense.” Kant nodded.” I’ll treat you first.”
“Thank you, Your Highness…” Kavisaron’s face was filled with gratitude. May I ask, what do we need to do to repay your kindness and kindness?”
Kant’s eyes flashed with a faint smile.
” No need.” He waved his hand casually.” The elves will repay this favor.”
There would be elves to pay for it.
Who was it?
The elven Brigadier General was stunned for a moment before he suddenly reacted.
Who was it?
How to repay it?
His handsome face flushed red.
He looked like a victim who had imagined something and was extremely unwilling to accept it.
” Your Highness Kant,” he said,” please make sure that all the officers and soldiers of our fleet repay your kindness and courtesy with their utmost efforts and contributions! I beg you!”
Even if the lives of the entire fleet were in Kant’s hands, even if the infection of the Paragon Element had indeed taken place, even if the elf had come here as a defeated enemy, the elf did not say a single word.
Kant rubbed his chin and sighed.
Lily, who was sitting beside Kant, suddenly turned her head away.
The few dragons who had been watching the negotiation with interest suddenly shivered, as if they had recalled something unbearable.
” There’s nothing you elves can do right now,” Kant said.” After all, you’ve just fought Goethe. It’s not suitable for you to come to the distant harbor to carry out missions. It’ll cause unrest among the locals.”
The elf suddenly stood up and knelt on one knee. Your Highness Kant! As long as you don’t make Mu Yue your enemy, as long as you don’t tarnish the honor of the Royal Navy, our fleet is willing to do anything for you! The defeat of the army is already a great humiliation. At least let us do something in exchange for the medical treatment of the prisoners! This is our most solemn request!”
“Otherwise, we can only use death as an apology!” His eyes were bloodshot.
” Sigh, why do you have to do this, why do you have to do this? This is actually just a small matter, really a small matter.” Kant reached out to help the elf up.” You and I…” Sigh, you know, there’s really no need to fuss over it. I won’t fuss over it…”
“Your Highness Kant!” The voice was like a cuckoo crying blood.
“Alright, alright. Go and bring your subordinates here first. Bring them near my ship. I’ll treat you first. Then, I’ll think about what to find for you to do…”
“Please don’t just find a small matter to deal with us! Your Highness Kant! It must be a mission that can be compared to the kindness of healing all the officers and soldiers of this fleet!”
“Alright, alright, alright, alright. Don’t worry, don’t worry. You can go now.”
Watching Kavisar leave, the elf still looked back three times with every step he took, his back filled with sadness.
When he turned around, the dragons looked at him strangely.
There was a trace of lingering fear in her panic.
He said inexplicably, What’s wrong?”
” It’s nothing.” One of the dragons laughed dryly.” I suddenly respect you more.”
Kant shook his head and pointed at Niola.
“Your Highness, please instruct me,” the Seeker stood up and bowed.
Kant said,” I’ve heard of the reputation of the Arcane Magic Council. I’ve seen your ship before. It’s not bad. I heard that your army has a special characteristic. It has a high rate of mages?”
“Yes, thanks to the advanced Arcane Magic Council…” A hint of pride flashed across Neola’s face.
“Alright, alright.” Kant said,” I want you to gather all the mages in the fleet and do something for me. I’ve just ordered the governor of Distant Harbor to search for criminals related to inciting riots in the city. You will be the special inspection department to screen for any injustice or abuse of power.”
” Using the special skills of the mages, interrogation spell groups, mental suggestion spells, and even the ability to manipulate fear, your mission is not only to determine whether the suspects are guilty or not, but also to determine the severity of their crimes and whether there are big fish that have escaped the net.”
” I know that the Arcane Magic Council is most likely involved in inciting riots, so I’ll let the empire’s mages and the elven mages participate in this inspection department. I’ll also listen to the opinions of the mages from Distant Harbor, and I’ll also directly assign inspectors to control the overall situation. Finally, I’ll personally inspect it.”
” When it comes to spies from our country, I allow you to stay out of it and hand them over to the mages of other countries to deal with. But if you want to cover up for them, you’d better consider the consequences if the matter is exposed.”
Kant swept his gaze across the two men, and they immediately lowered their heads.
“Do you have any questions?” he asked.
“Can we capture the big fish directly when we interrogate or detect them?” Neola asked.
” Alright.” Kant nodded.
” Then is the use of lethal force allowed?”
“In principle, we should try our best to capture them alive. There are also people who can’t die so easily.” Kant said calmly,” But if the other party fights back fiercely, then let him die a painful death.”
“Yes.”
“Regarding the screening of crimes,” Niola asked again,”please tell me what rules we should follow.”
Kant said,” The mastermind behind the riot is the highest level. He’s in charge of bribing and giving instructions. The second level is the leader who’s paid to do things. The second level is the leader who’s paid to do things. The second level is the leader who’s paid to do things. They’re sorted according to their status, subjective purpose, and the amount of money.”
“Oh, right.”
He said,” Pay attention to the criminal’s background, mainly the part where he took the money. Check and ask about his family situation and personal conduct, as well as the whereabouts of the money. For example, whether this person has old, weak, women and children in his family who need to be supported, what is his usual reputation, whether he gambled or used all the money to support his family, or whether he squandered a part of the money and left the other part for his family. Check all these and register them all for me.”
” As well as those rioters who have been incited, we must also screen them all, especially those who took advantage of the chaos to rob and rob, or even fight and commit violence. We must also arrest them all.”
Neola listened attentively and pondered.
“I understand completely, Your Highness,” he said at last.
” You, you, and that elf will be in charge of this matter together. I’ll tell him part of the details later, and you guys will tell him the rest. As for the Faraway Harbor, you guys should also tell them about this principle.”
– Why didn’t Cavisaron stay and listen?
Of course, it was to create the feeling that he was reluctant to give you a small job, but he didn’t intend to use you elves to do this kind of intelligence interrogation work. Forget it, you guys should do it too!
“Understood.”
Neola and the rich young master of the Empire looked at each other. They knew that the other party was not reliable, so they could only ask themselves,” One last question, Your Highness. This mission requires cooperation with the people of Distant Harbor. The three of us must also coordinate and let the people of Distant Harbor know. May I ask, under what name do we act?”
The issue of name was indeed very important. It was the same for Kant and the fleets of the three countries. As the navy of their country, they naturally could not serve Kant as soldiers of their country.
Kant’s authority naturally had to make his voice heard.
Kant thought about it and smiled.
“I belong to the court.” He replied,” The Rebel Society.”
The two fleet commanders left, but Kant remained seated with his legs crossed.
Suddenly, Lily’s smiling face came from the side.
“What are you laughing at?”Kant asked in disdain.
“Why did you change your mind?” asked Long Niang with a smile. Do my words really matter?”
Kant shifted his gaze away when he heard that.” No, I suddenly remembered the bloody hole on an old woman’s face.” At that time, I was powerless and could only choose what I thought was the best choice. But now, I can do something else, so why not? Anyway, there are plenty of people who can run errands for me.”
He didn’t look like he wanted to talk about it.
Therefore, the Dragoness shouted exaggeratedly,”Eh? Wasn’t it because of me? Disappointed!”
“No, you have your reasons too.”
Kang De turned around and met Long Niang’s eyes.
Lily was shocked.
“0.1%”, Kant replied as he met Long Niang’s evasive gaze.
“.. What?”
“Take away 0.1% of the shares in exchange for me agreeing to your suggestion. Carefully screen out the specific composition of those rioting idiots and give some scum who are not hopeless a chance…”
The next moment, the little female dragon roared, No! What the f * ck! Let those ants die! Even if their cheap lives were multiplied by ten thousand times, it wouldn’t be worth this much!”
“I didn’t agree! This doesn’t conform to the spirit of the contract!”
“Are you kidding me?”
“You’re bullying me!”
“I have to be ridden by you for five years to exchange for this 0.1%…”
Kant’s emotions eased up a little as he cried and laughed.
Yes, it could be done.
Even if I had no subordinates, even if I was isolated and helpless, even if I had to face the hostility of an entire city, the ever-changing Goethe politics, and even the attention of the entire world, I could still take Distant Harbor by myself.
Without a lackey, I can go whoring for free.
