This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 192 Mercenaries and Pirates

Lu Ye didn't understand.

In such a desolate world, if you want to be the king of the mountain of tribulation, you must have people, money, and food to help you rob.

Then, Jialan pointed forward and said, "There is their livelihood there."

Lu Ye looked around and saw a dark blue line at the end of the flat wasteland. Moving forward further, he discovered that it turned out to be the sea!
This area is actually along the coast!
I see!Since they can rely on the sea to eat, people here can obviously become fishermen and naturally they will not starve to death.

Eh?No, Jialan just said "rob?"

Is it...

Grabbing at sea?

"pirate?!"

Jialan smiled and nodded: "Yes, they are pirates."

……

After driving alone for more than six hours, a seaside town finally appeared in front of us.

Jialan ordered: "Put the guns in a conspicuous position, and let's exchange for some supplies."

Everyone didn't know why, but they still followed the instructions.

When they drove into the town, they understood the significance of Jialan's arrangement.

Here, almost everyone has a gun!

"Langhao" assault rifles can be found everywhere, and at worst, a pistol is inserted into one's body. Lu Ye even saw a weird thing that was obviously a homemade gun!
"This...can't be a pirate den, right?"

Jialan smiled darkly: "The entire tribal plain is a big pirate den."

Lu Ye was shocked!

But after thinking about it, I suddenly understood. As the saying goes, the harsher the environment, the less room there is for order to survive.

As long as you have enough to eat, who cares about those royal laws.

The Hyena Mercenary Group has been active in the South-Central Continent and has heard a little bit about things here. Jialan started a small class:
"This was originally a country, but they did some offending things and angered all the Western Continent federal countries at once, so the countries united and overthrew the local regime."

Lu Ye shouted: "Hey, what has he done? Can he offend everyone at once?"

Jialan's face was expressionless: "A terrorist attack, and he went to the First Federation to create a terrorist attack that shocked the world."

Lu Ye sighed secretly: "Okay, this is called breaking the law of the world, and you are kind of bringing the blame on yourself."

Jialan smiled and shook his head: "But many subsequent investigations revealed that this was a tragedy directed and staged by the First Federation in order to launch this anti-tribal war... Haha, but there are only speculations. No one can confirm the real truth. It has probably been buried in the yellow sand and no one knows about it.”

Lu Ye was shocked and speechless.

All I can say is that if it is true, this "bitter flesh trick" is a bit cruel!The person who planned all of this is really a ruthless and inhumane guy.

Jialan continued to tell a short historical story: "Later, the Western Continent Federation supported a local government, which was a bit weak. It was quickly annihilated by tribal armed forces. It could only hold a safe zone in the capital. More than 90% of the land in the entire region belonged to Autonomy, and there are three major clans, more than a dozen tribes, hundreds of tribal branches, and many outsiders. They refuse to obey anyone and have been fighting with each other for decades. Oh, we often say , this place should be called ‘the place of opposition’.”

"A place of opposition?"

“All against all, there will never be unity.”

Lu Ye could only sigh helplessly when he heard this. This was the result of the loose tribal power reaching its extreme.

Without unity, there is no strength and no peace.

The result is what we see before us: living conditions are harsh, production cannot be organized, and violence is rampant.

"This place... looks worse than the Xiongmen side."

Jialan nodded: "Well, maybe soon, Xiongmen will also become like this."

Lu Zhi was suddenly moved: "Is this...could it be the purpose of the mastermind behind this?"

Jia Lan didn't speak because she didn't know the answer.

The car parked next to the seaside town. Jialan arranged the work: "Uncle, please help me. The two sisters stayed in the car to guard with guns. If anyone approaches, they will be driven away with guns. If they are not warned, they will be shot and injured." , if the opponent fights back, kill him directly, there is no law here." Lu Ye told Anjie Jingji to be careful, and followed Jialan out of the car.

The destination is a small courtyard, where seven or eight people are standing and sitting, all locals who have been damaged by the sun and sea breeze. They are sitting in a circle, smoking and playing cards.

Lu Ye took a closer look and saw that there were bone sticks, shells and gold coins in the playing cards, which seemed to be a very local style of play.

One of them, a slightly fat man with dark hair and a bald head, grinned when he saw Jialan coming in, revealing the hollow where his front teeth were missing.

"Oh? Jialan? Why is it you? Where is Lange?"

He actually knew Jialan's father.

The girl said expressionlessly: "Dead."

The fat black man chuckled and praised loudly: "A good death!"

The people next to him laughed, and it could be felt that they had no respect for life and death.

Jialan was not angry and handed over a bank card: "Fill it."

Fatty Hei signaled his younger brother to take it, and arranged for someone to check the account number, transfer the account, and load the goods.

After a while, Lu Ye saw boxes of supplies being moved out of the house and loaded onto the pickup truck.

There is food, water, and even colorful drinks.Then there were ten or twenty guns, some ammunition, and some clothes, all gaudy and gaudy, for both men and women. No one had sorted them out, just piled up in boxes.

Considering Jialan's explanation of the main "industry" of the locals, Lu Ye boldly guessed that these might be stolen goods.

And all these materials, except for the food, drinking water, clothing necessary for daily life, that is, guns and ammunition, nothing is used for production.

Sure enough... it is a country of pirates.

After a while, the supplies were loaded and the two were about to leave. The fat black man suddenly shouted: "Hey, since Lange is dead... Who should I look for in the future?"

Jialan turned around, looked at the bandit leader without front teeth, and answered simply:
"Find me."

The fat black man laughed again, grabbed a gold coin on the card table, and bounced it over with a ding.

Jialan caught it steadily and looked down. There was a pirate skull logo cast on the gold coin.

"Live longer!"

Jialan didn't answer, turned around and left.

The handover procedure between mercenaries and pirates was completed simply.

After coming out and driving away, Jialan also explained to Lu Ye:
"In addition to material transactions, sometimes we also need their assistance in gathering intelligence, smuggling, and transporting goods. This is a very important channel. If we want to return to the Western Continent after delivering the things, we will most likely have to take this route."

Lu Ye nodded silently, having a more intuitive understanding of the two professions of mercenaries and pirates - if they were also considered professions.

But as soon as the vehicle left the town, a convoy of vehicles was seen on the opposite side, dragging thick smoke and dust.

Jialan frowned and decisively cut off the road to make way for the other party.

So the four of them saw in the car a mighty motorcade approaching. The car was filled with shirtless tribal warriors, holding their guns high and shouting and cheering.

Their return also caused the whole town to cheer and cheer, as if they were warriors returning in triumph.

Lu Ye's sharp eyes saw that several of the cars were filled with women and children, some were tied up, and some were covered in blood. The expressions on their faces were either sorrow, despair, or silent crying.

He understood without any explanation that these women and children were trophies.

This is a wild and war-torn world. How can it be simply described by the words "the people are in dire straits"?

Anjie's little hand reached out from behind and grabbed Lu Ye's shirt.

"Dad, I want to go home..."

Lu Ye shook her hand back and nodded.

　The pirate leader grinned: "Vehicles, ships, guns and ammunition, women and children, food and drinks... I have as much as I want, but the question is... do you have a ticket?"
