chapter 65
‘What the hell did I hear? ‘
Pirates, outlaws on the sea.
In most cases, they were forced to become pirates because they could not withstand the harsh discipline on board.
Even if such a sad story is excluded, pirates were undoubtedly plunderers that all countries condemned and condemned.
But the young man in front of him suggested that he try not to become a pirate.
Even speaking with a very serious look, Xavir swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
And the mental breakdown that follows.
As he was about to lose his mind, Xavir desperately grabbed his sanity.
Why, why, and for what reason did Count Espera’s prospective son-in-law invite him to become a pirate?
I turned my taut head, but what comes back is a white paper in my brain that has turned white.
After contemplating, and ultimately failing to draw a conclusion, Xavir had no choice but to open his mouth.
“..a pirate…?”
“Yes, pirates. Shouldn’t we pay for an eye for an eye for a tooth?”
“Wait, I don’t understand right now, can I get a detailed explanation?”
” Sure. “
At Xavir’s request, Rommel began to open his mouth with ease.
Xavir desperately sent the Count’s eyes of salvation, but the Count’s gaze was only on Rommel.
Even with his eyes lit up.
Wasn’t that Confucius actually a warlock? I thought that
Xavir shook his head and quietly began to listen to Rommel.
“As usual, ships coming to Espera’s territory are threatened by pirates. Whether it’s an imperial ship or a ship from another country. The pirates attack regardless. But there is one strange thing. “
” ..the weird part? “
“Yes, Lord Xavir has not been here for a long time, so you may not know, but strangely, the pirates did not attack the ships of the Kingdom of Spesia.”
” ..no way. “
“You have already noticed. Yes, of course, behind the pirates, there is Spesha, and they will sell the stolen items on the black market and send them to the kingdom of Spesha.”
” …her. “
In a nutshell, it sounds like the Kingdom of Spesha is looking after the pirates.
Xavir frowned at the fact and clenched his fists.
How dare you touch a ship in the upper Java, belonging to the Great Ottoman Empire.
Even the kingdom of a small country that did not even rise to the ranks of the empire.
In my mind, I wanted to notify the sultan right away and protest against the Kingdom of Spesia, but for that reason, there was only a heart and no physical evidence.
” ..What do you think you have in mind?”
“It’s simple, all you have to do is make everyone victims. The Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Holy Ruth Empire…and the Kingdom of Spesia.”
“..everyone as a victim…?”
“Yes, it is for this reason that I asked Lord Xavir to play the role of a pirate. By looting the ships of the Kingdom of Spesha, we intentionally create a chaotic situation.”
” …huh. Are you saying that the fire should be increased further?”
“A fire that is difficult to control will eventually devour even the arsonist, so if you lose it anyway, wouldn’t it be better to lose them all equally?”
Equalism, if I die, you die too.
Operation Water Ghost.
Rommel’s plan was a lowly and vulgar idea that even street bastards could think of.
If the listener had been an ordinary nobleman, he would have yelled at Rommel on the spot.
However, Jabir, the top lord of Java sitting in front of Rommel, is a merchant.
One of the leading colossus in the Ottoman Empire, who does not choose any means for profit.
After defeating numerous rivals coming from below and enemies that revealed his teeth, Xavir had no prejudice against vulgarity, sitting proudly in the colossus.
Sometimes simple things can be the best solution, and shallow things can lead to unexpected results.
“Raise the plate, and plunder the ships of the Kingdom of Spesia.”
“Yes, after that, if you leave everything to me, I will solve the pirate problem and bring back the stolen items.”
” ..can you afford the Levante Prime Minister?”
“Did you say, Prime Minister of Levante…?”
“That’s right, you are a capable minister who is slowly raising the Kingdom of Spesha to the orbit of the empire. I stopped by for a while because I had business to do in the Kingdom of Spesha, and then I met him for the first time.”
Revante Levante.
His competence was so far beyond the Kingdom of Spesia that it had spread to the Ottoman Empire.
“There is only one standard for this guy. Is it beneficial or harmful to the kingdom? If it is beneficial, he will somehow bring it to his side, and if it is harmful, he will remove it by any means.”
” …her. “
As he hears about Prime Minister Levante, someone comes to Rommel’s mind.
Second Prince, Prince Jejus.
The 2nd Prince is the same type of person who swallows when it is beneficial and spit it out when it is harmful, just like Prime Minister Levante.
Politics must be like that, but when I felt the threat to my life, I thought that those kinds of people shouldn’t be dealing with them at all.
“Now then, let me ask you one more question. Do you really want to fight Prime Minister Levante?”
“…”
A room filled with silence.
The eyes of the Count and Xavir upperism were focused on Rommel.
Expectations, concerns, and mistrust.
The flames in the eyes of the Count and Xavir contained many emotions, and Rommel slowly opened his mouth to respond to their emotions.
“You’ve made a mistake, Lord Xavir.”
” ..what? “
“It’s not a fight, it’s a life-and-death decision. If this goes as planned, the Kingdom of Spesha will lose 50 years of its future. Will Prime Minister Levante leave me alone? I will try to kill Prime Minister Levante somehow. I will come.”
Life and death, according to Rommel’s words, if Prime Minister Levante decides that he will become a threat to his kingdom in the future, he will use all sorts of tactics to get rid of Rommel.
So Rommel decided to risk his life for this incident, because even if he had resigned and returned to the academy, there was nothing he could do there.
“Prepare dozens of strong men and a few ships. Tonight, we will plunder the ships of the Kingdom of Spesia.”
The Count and Xavir were stunned by Rommel’s sudden suggestion.
*******
“Khahahaha!!!”
“Captain! Look here! It’s full of expensive spices!”
“You got Suzy right today!”
“” Ha ha ha ha! “”
On board the sea, the sea of outlaws.
The ordered pirates of the Kingdom of Spesya were holding a celebration party to loot a nearby ship.
The looted ship must have been quite wealthy, some of the looted items were quite precious, and the dogs were loaded with spices, also called the gold of the sea.
“But recently, the upper heads have been ripping too much, so I’m worried. We have to make a living too..”
However, even if they hit the jackpot like that, less than half of them return to them.
More than half of the hegemon goes into the pockets of the Spesha Kingdom, and if you look at wolves and wolves, in the end, not even half of the looted profits remain.
“Recently, the number of chasing ships chasing us has increased a lot, but the superiors keep telling us to loot.”
” Okay. “
However, the captain of the pirates was also a formidable person.
To be precise, he was a captain with the ability to avoid the eyes of his superiors and gain as much as he could.
The spices stolen this time were too precious to be sacrificed as they are.
It was clear that even if it was kept for a while and sold later on land, it would cost more than the same weight of gold.
“Because the upper-heads don’t know anything anyway!”
It is a matter of deceiving the quantity of looted goods from the beginning.
It was dizzying to think of Prime Minister Levante, but this is above the sea.
If it was on land, it would have been horribly defeated, but on the sea, it is different.
Their home ground, where the waves are strong and when the wind blows.
they knew everything
Once a month, a person sent from the Kingdom of Spesia visits, but as long as the ledger is properly manipulated, there is no problem.
He was grinning at the thought of punching the auditor on the back, but suddenly one of his subordinates approached him and pointed to the horizon.
“Captain, there’s another ship passing by! Shall we loot?”
“What? Let’s see.. Have you ever seen such an idiot?!”
” Ouch! “
“Can’t you see the flag of the Kingdom of Spesia over there?”
I wanted to see what kind of madman was launching a ship in their territory.
If they even touched that ship, the executioners of the Kingdom of Spesha would take their necks.
He puts a fist in the head of a subordinate who has vision problems, and is about to go back in.
” Leader! “
“Again, why!”
“..that…the ship…is on fire?”
” ..what?! “
A ship sinking in fire right in front of you.
What the hell happened to the ship that had been fine until recently?
” Hey… “
” ..Leader? “
“What are you guys doing?! If we don’t get that boat right away?!
A ship that is sinking in the fire, and himself dragged to the execution ground.
Even if he didn’t do it, he would be executed under the pretext of being a prestigious family.
When he thought of that, the captain turned on the lights and shouted at his subordinates.
