The bandits are an organization from the South China Sea continent. They also have their own forces in the southern part of Adak, and have a close relationship with the pirates.
The reason why we can come up with so much money is because of the pirates' assistance...
When it comes to piracy, neither Adak, nor the countries in Zambutal, nor even the countries as far away as the Amansha Plateau have a good solution.
Because they are so good at hiding.
They take advantage of the terrain and run rampant on the sea, and there has been no good way to deal with it.
And it’s very difficult to solve!
Because the shipping routes are vast, it is the same no matter which country it is.
Sometimes a sea shipment takes ten days to half a month. In the vast ocean, you cannot set up a security management area, unlike between cities on the mainland.
The pirates were also very cunning, always sending people to investigate or planting or bribe spies in the army...
They won't go as long as the army is out at sea for escort, and they will appear when the army doesn't come.
And robbery also requires a lot of skills.
Among the pirates in the southern sea of Adak, the average wealth can buy one year's safety. If it is just other shares, it can only be calculated by the number of times, and you will not encounter them every time.
It's just like raising pigs, where they are slaughtered randomly.
This will not dampen the enthusiasm of merchants, and will also allow them to maintain their dominance at sea for a long time.
It's like a profession now!
Jia Gong had sent troops to suppress the rebellion many times, but he was unable to completely wipe it out.
…
This time, pirates were involved in the robbery of tribute, which made the Sun King very unhappy.
After listening to Mu Dan and Oshalia's reports, the entire hall fell into an unusual silence...
There were not many people there to begin with, and now even a cough could be heard echoing several times.
"Your Majesty the Supreme King, it's time for us to send troops to deal a heavy blow to the pirates." Someone standing in the position of the royal minister stepped forward and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty... The last time we wiped out pirates was three years ago. If we had already taken over Dansu Port, it would have been very difficult for the pirates... They were originally hesitant to attack our merchant caravans, but now that we have both major ports, it's like taking away some of their bread and butter. That's why they planned this attack to warn us."
"Humph! The same bunch of clowns."
The general on the other side also said dissatisfiedly.
From the reports of Mudan and Oshalia, it was not difficult for everyone to hear that pirates were involved. In addition, because they had just acquired the ownership of Dansu Port some time ago, this matter seemed more like a test revenge action planned by the pirates.
Sean looked at the psychological changes of the Sun King at this moment, and also recalled what Lucille said.
This time it's not just the wizards...
Could it be that it’s not just because of the involvement of pirates?
"Sean."
"Sean..."
The Sun King suddenly called out his name, bringing Sean back from his thoughts.
"Uncle!" he said, bowing.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about what Commander Osalia said."
"I just wanted to ask for your opinion on this matter. How do you think we should handle it?"
Sean sometimes wondered why the Sun King was so eager to gather opinions, and why his own opinions were so frequently sought within the royal family. Was it simply because he wanted to hear his own approach to matters? Or did he wish to be more involved in policymaking?
"We need to be cautious when going to war with pirates, otherwise it will affect our normal route. And didn't I just say that the two most important tributes are not in their hands!"
"Your Highness, don't take that kind of deception seriously."
Before Sean could finish his words, he was interrupted by Oshalia.
It seems that it is difficult for me to say that the thing is in my hands...
It would be fine if I had found the enemy first, but now someone else has found it first, and the Alchemy Stone and Undying Wine in my hands have become hot items.
If you take it out, you will definitely be asked where it came from!
It would be impossible to say that it was given by his mentor at that time. After all, Lucille's reputation does not seem to be as good as imagined.
So from the outside, it looked like those two items were still in the enemy's hands, and if they wanted to get them back, they had to fight...
And it's not just about snatching tribute, more importantly it's about the reputation of the entire Jagong.
To send troops or not to send troops.
Two outcomes were discussed among the ministers.
Sean certainly stands on the side of not sending troops. It is not a good thing for a country to send troops to fight for two consecutive years without much gain.
However, it seems that many generals advocate cracking down on pirates in the hope of maintaining control over the empire's shipping routes.
This matter will not be determined in such a short time...
It was very late at night before Sean dragged his tired body back to the bedroom.
There was no one around.
Only Illya was still dozing in the hall.
"Your Highness...you're back." Illya woke up in shock when she heard a voice approaching.
"Well, Mi'er, where are the others?"
Sean looked around but didn't see Mirko and Lucille.
"They just had an argument and almost came to blows! Your Highness...is that person your mentor?"
"How do you know?"
Sean asked curiously, looking at Illya.
"Your Highness has mentioned this before, and I can tell from her appearance today... I just didn't expect that Your Highness's mentor is really the witch Elesis." Illya said in a low voice.
