Chapter 155: Reason
Three days after the pirates attacked, Phoenix waved an old newspaper to report to Link, who was half asleep at the beach: "I know why the pirates came here."
Link woke up and took the newspaper. It was from three months ago. The headlines were: The iron walls were encircled, the net was pulled to sweep, and the villain could not escape death. The content was that the combined fleet of the seven coastal countries such as the State of Zeland would jointly encircle and suppress the pirates raging on the New World route.
Calculate it, it takes at least one month for these seven-nation fleets to assemble, and then it takes half a month to cross the sea. It takes even longer to wipe out the pirates.
The navies of the seven countries including the State of Zeland have joined forces to wipe out pirates. Now that the pirates from the New World can gather together, they can pose a great threat to the navy of a country.
The seven countries jointly strangled the pirates this time because the pirates from the New World united a year ago and launched an attack on the Moorian Navy. After defeating the Moorian Navy, they also snatched a fleet of ships escorted by the Moorian Navy.
The problem is that although the Navy of Moor is not the strongest among the seven coastal countries, it is not the weakest, and it is similar to the Navy of the State of Zeland.
I think this pirate ran out of the siege of the Seven Kingdoms Navy to sweep the net. They probably felt that the New World has been unsafe recently, so it would be better to go to the empty old world of the Navy to do a few business.
Anyone who goes out to sea from Jill City can see the gradually prosperous Link Port. It is not surprising that the pirates learned about this news. On the surface, the dock's defense power has only twenty guards and five magicians. The pirates feel that it is normal for them to fight with one charge.
In fact, the working capital of the seafood company is only a few hundred gold coins and tens of thousands of silver coins, and most of the remaining profits were taken away by Link in the name of investment. Now, two paddle steamers, two large fishing boats, are not built in the country of Zealand, and are naturally bought from outside with money.
However, what I saw outside was that only seafood companies earned money every day, and seafood companies did not go to the Mage Bank to deposit money every day. Naturally, they had a lot of money in their hands, so they should be rich and rich.
In the pirate industry, if you want to sell stolen goods, you have to be exploited by the black merchants once and sell the goods at a market price of 20% or 30%. Those who can sell 20% or 30% are still short-term goods. Some bulky and difficult-to-sell goods, the black merchants are even willing to give only 10% or even half a percentage of them.
There is no way for pirates to be exploited like this. Pirates cannot sell goods that they cannot use, nor can they be thrown into their hands. After doing a business, their pirates are waiting to share the money, not waiting to share the goods.
For pirates, there are only yellow and white things in their eyes.
In order to stimulate the consumption capacity of pirates in the New World, black merchants have established high-end hotels at the pirate base, with all kinds of food, wine and beautiful maids, provided you have money.
The pirate leader is also willing to see this situation. If his pirates save too much money, or they will choose to go to the New World to find a new pioneering village to support their elderly care, only when the pirates clean up the honeysuckle they receive every time, will they have more motivation to prepare for the next robbery.
After reading the old newspaper, Link said: "It seems that the pirates in the New World have suffered a lot of losses, otherwise they would not have gone back to the Old World to do business."
In fact, pirates in the old continent basically have no way to survive. Take the State of Zeland as an example. Jill City, the closest to the sea, had moved the Magic Academy here in the era of the great geographical discovery decades ago. The teachers in the Magic Academy are all senior mages above level ten, and every class of academy is also a magician.
Not to mention pirates with hundreds of people, even if a pirate with thousands of people and tens of thousands of people attacks the Jill City Pier, although it will definitely cause great damage to Jill City in the end, the result will not change, and it will be just a word for death in the end.
When attacking Link Port a few days ago, Link showed only a level 11 magic power level 14 mage, one with three high-level warriors, twenty middle and low-level warriors and five genuine mages, and finally defeated the pirates who were more than ten times more with the help of geographical advantages. Only six genuine mages could run out.
Link, a high-level mage, has the power to reverse a battle that is very different from us, so the magician is naturally even more awesome, and there is also the power to reverse a war.
But it is not the only one in the country of Zeland. Now all coastal countries have moved the Magic Academy to the most important coastal cities. Other coastal cities do not have Magic Academy, and they have also arranged key defenses.
These defensive forces are not used to deal with pirates, but to guard against other countries. Now the key sources of wealth for coastal countries are in the New World. Without ports, they will lose contact with the New World. As a top priority in national defense, ports are not too much.
If you are prepared for all wars, the enemy will not easily take action, but if you are not prepared at all, your allies will stab you.
Phoenix said with some concern: "Now I am afraid that the pirates in the New World will not be able to survive. The entire west coast of the Old World is the weakest defense port."
Of course, it is the weakest port to defend. Not to mention that Link Port has been built for a few years, and it is a private port with few private ports throughout the Old Continent.
However, Link is not worried about this. Even if the combined fleet of the seven countries comes to attack the port, at most it will show its legendary combat power and then defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
But as a local native, Phoenix's understanding of legendary combat power is the same as Shakespeare's understanding of women.
Link: "Don't worry, letting the six pirate wizards go is through their mouths to spread the situation here."
Phoenix thought about it, and the other party came with more than 300 people, and in the end only six people ran away, and even did not bring seriously injured and disabled people to the port. We have been pirates for so many years, even if the Pirate Mages took action, who has seen a war of 0:300 casualties?
Phoenix: "Do you want to increase the proportion of your own people?"
For Link, Phoenix, Veranika, and Marie Gees are their own people. They are just employment relationships with others. Being a boss’s extravagant desire for loyalty to employees is really overthinking.
Link calculated that he had enough supplies: "Pick two more, you must be innocent. You know other conditions."
"I understand, master." Phoenix knew that master Link was actually a very simple person. Between hardworking women, wise women and brave women, master Link would only choose the one with the largest breasts.
If Phoenix grows to the Sanctuary level, Link won't need so many helpers, but it was beyond Link's expectation that Phoenix could grow to the 13th level so quickly.
