I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 655: Flies and Warriors

The manor in the town was covered in shadow after the sun went down.

Outside, the light of the setting sun still shone on Sivir's face.

Sivir asked Heinrich who followed him, "What happened?"

"The Calamity Pirates have ended their offensive, and we can see the pirates retreating on our front line," said Heinrich.

"Evacuate?"

Xiweier frowned, "Why would they evacuate now? The damage we caused is not enough to make them retreat. Is there something wrong with the Scourge?"

"No, the people in charge of surveillance didn't hear any relevant information. From what I saw from the sky, they seemed to be gathering towards a landing point again. Is it possible that they are going to launch a general attack?" Heinrich asked.

"Let's prepare for defense in advance. If it's a general attack, we must also be prepared to evacuate."

Sivir sighed, "The fact is, we are no match for those pirates."

Although I don't want to admit it, this is the fact before us.

The most powerful Heinrich could only fight on equal terms with the magician and the strange monk who led the team, and he would be defeated after a long time. He could not get close to the shadow mage and could only rely on his advantage of flying in the air to make a comeback.

As for the quality of their personnel, even with the bonus of her abilities, they were still somewhat inferior to those battle-hardened pirates, otherwise they would not have been able to roam around and attack weak points at the same time.

If they wanted to launch a general attack now, they could only follow the old method: disperse, hide first, and then find an opportunity to fight back.

It's not like there hasn't been a general attack before, but Sivir's familiarity with the island allowed him to quickly disperse the soldiers until the general attack was over. After all, it's impossible for so many people to stay in one place all the time, as that would consume a lot of resources.

They will definitely disperse. The strategy of the Calamity Pirates is to rule completely, so they must station people in every town and village. Once the troops are divided, that will be their chance.

This is how we have always fought, and it will be the same this time.

But they cannot underestimate the enemy. Every time the pirates launch a general attack, Sivir feels like she is dancing on the edge of steel. Once their king is captured by the Scourge Pirates again, the situation that they have maintained with great difficulty will completely collapse.

"You go and inform them, as well as the soldiers from other kingdoms who are resisting with us. Let them obey our orders and have the major leaders lead people into the mountains to temporarily avoid the disaster pirates." Sivir said.

"I understand, Saint Lady, but they..."

Heinrich looked at the manor and said, "They complained last time and don't want to be bumpy anymore. Besides, this town is one of their properties. If we abandon it..."

"I will try to persuade them. It's just that the gains and losses of a city or a place must be given up when necessary. The adults understand that. Otherwise, I would not be in my current position. It's all for the country. They will understand."

Having said that, Xiweier turned around and walked back into the manor.

When Heinrich saw Sivir entering the manor, he stretched out his hand to stop her, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

Lady Saint, we don't need the leadership of the nobles, we only need your salvation.

But these words were too outrageous, and he couldn't say them out loud, because he knew that the Saint Lady respected those nobles very much.

After fighting with pirates for a long time, he sometimes envied those pirates who could do whatever they wanted and say whatever they wanted without any scruples.

The shadow above the manor deepened as the sun set, like a pair of wings, fluttering on the roof, like a big fly. Compared to the manor, Sivir seemed very small when she went deeper inside, but she looked very sacred when the sun shone on her back.

The manor is full of intrigue and seems perfect.

The outside world is devoted to the country, but it may be incomplete.

But a perfect fly is still just a fly, and an imperfect warrior is still a warrior.

Saint
Heinrich clenched his fists and said to himself in a deep voice: "We will definitely win!"

……

At a landing point on the northwest side of the Hyrule Kingdom, all the major tents have been set up, and the pirates have gathered in an orderly manner, each carrying a weapon and chatting with a ferocious smile.

However, many people felt hungry, but in the end they just patted their stomachs and looked towards the sea without any dissatisfaction with being hungry.

The supplies were burned. Some people in the villages and towns sold them food, but most of them refused to sell. When asked why, they said they did not want to let the Saint down.

Those frightened people did not hide too much about what Sivir had done. They told it all and prepared themselves to be robbed.

Due to the rules, the pirates did not rob these people, but of course they were not kind to them either.

They just respected Governor Sag, not that they really didn't want to rob civilians. It was already very good that they could abide by the rules. As for getting along with everyone, that was something they would do after they surrendered to Sag.

Feeding so many pirates became a problem. Moria originally accepted Hawkins' proposal to launch a general attack first, feed the enemy, and then pretend to retreat to let the other side cause internal strife.

But the problem is that Sager didn't agree, and he came with the supplies in person.

"fail."

Moria in the tent drank a cup of hot cocoa, picked up a spoonful of pickled caviar and put it into his mouth, then his signature grin appeared on the corners of his mouth, but there was also a bit of anger in his smile.

"Letting Sarge come here in person is such a failure! We could have won!"

"of course."

Hawkins at the side picked up a cookie, found a lucky coin in it, nodded with satisfaction, picked up the black tea and took a sip, then said:

"According to the strategy, we will eventually win, but it will take too long. I have to admit that the woman named Sivir is very good at commanding. There are still many masters in the sea."

"I admire you very much too."

Ulki nodded. "She has mobilized all the forces in the kingdom by herself. Even ordinary people have been brought together because of this woman. This is different from any kingdom we have encountered before."

In the past, whether it was an island town that had not yet become a kingdom or an island city that had already become a kingdom, the nobles and the common people were separated. As long as they killed the nobles, the remaining uninformed common people would of course support their rule.

Because in their eyes, it doesn't matter who rules, even if Sag says every day that he is not a nobleman, he is just a landlord, but for ordinary people, it is also a nobleman replacing another nobleman. In addition, this nobleman is really good to them and improves their quality of life, which naturally makes Sag's rule more stable.

But the prerequisite is that they must rule before these people can be improved.

This method cannot be used in unconquered areas. First, we don't want to waste too much time, and second, we don't want to let those nobles benefit.

In Hyrule, it would be useless even if they captured the royal city. They knew that there were many resistance forces hiding in the surrounding areas, but they could not clear them out. These guys were very smart and would not harm civilians at all. They would even distribute supplies to them and talk about the difficulties of Hyrule.

Especially the one named Sivir, who is now revered as the Saint of Hyrule. She was born as a commoner, but now she is presented as a living example in front of the people of Hyrule, making them feel that they have a close belief, and this belief is not bad for them. Naturally, these pirates cannot get support from ordinary people.

If it is completely destroyed, it will be a complete failure.

If it is not destroyed, it will be dragged here, which is not in line with Moria's idea.

Now, after all this time, we have finally attracted their boss.

"It's good to have talent. Ever since I heard this name, I thought that Sarger might need her."

But since they are here, let's recruit them. This can also increase the strength of the Scourge Pirates, especially now that they are going to fight on all fronts. Moria laughed sharply and said, "An ordinary person may be a capable person, but he is definitely not strong. Just relying on a 'Seven Star' level person, he can make us run around in circles. We even need to be prepared to spend a long time here. A very talented guy is very suitable for us."

"Only if she is willing to surrender."

Hawkins put down his teacup, took out the tarot cards and started divination. He said, "But according to probability, unless it causes civil unrest as I said, the probability of the other party surrendering is very small. Sager may also be frustrated when he comes here this time."

"Then let's destroy it. It will waste too much time. We can't let it affect our big plan."

Moriah decided the future of the island lightly, "It doesn't matter if we kill them all, as long as they don't block our way. It's just a pity to waste so many people."

There has been no new statistics on the current population of the territory, but it will not be much more. After all, the ocean is basically vast and sparsely populated. A country like Hyrule, which has a larger population than Wano Country, is extremely rare.

Once conquered, it can bring a lot of domestic demand to Sag.

After all, there are more raw materials than population now, and some places have not yet issued orders to start mining.

At this point, they felt strange at first.

If they carried out large-scale mining of commodities and allowed merchants to invest freely and open factories, the market would have been oversaturated due to the excessive abundance of commodities, which would have caused a series of problems.

The West Sea is a sea area with good business, and such things happen there, but it is not a problem here in Sager.

Because of his extremely strong ruling power, he can decide the direction he wants. Things will be cheaper, but they will never be flooded. Merchants can of course invest freely, but there is no way to achieve a monopoly. The only one who has the real monopoly is Sag.

The industries that merchants are allowed to participate in do not involve the core, and these industries also have indicators.

Although there are many places, they are firmly controlled.

What they care about is how many people do as much work as possible, and all the remaining excess production capacity is converted into foreign trade. With this in mind, the territory they rule can be so stable.

But there are still many resources that have not been utilized, after all, there are not enough people.

If it is not necessary, they still don't want to destroy this place.

"Let's go, Sarge is almost here."

Moriah finished the cup of hot cocoa, stood up, took Hawkins and Urouge out of the tent, came to the coast, and faced the sea.

Boom!

Not long after, there was a thunder in the sky above the sea, and suddenly dark clouds gathered, and violent storms broke out.

In the wind and rain, the outline of a huge dark ship appeared. As the ship gradually approached, the wind and rain also hit the coast, wetting everyone's clothes and faces.

Until the huge ship showed its clear shape, the Taotie head on the bow had an indescribable aura that made one feel like being swallowed up just by looking at it. It carried the entire Death Star and a fleet of more than ten ships behind it and approached the coast.

Soon, a group of demon men appeared on the deck very quickly and put down the gangway.

Sager appeared at the gangway, and before he took a step, the many pirates waiting below started shouting.

"Lord Governor!"

"Governor Sager!"

"The Governor is here, we will be victorious soon!"

Sager looked at the group of excited pirates, walked down, and patted Moria who was at the front, "Thank you for your hard work. Send someone up to get the supplies down so that we can have a good meal tonight."

"It's not that hard, but you do need to come in person. I feel like I'm not doing my job well." Moria smiled and shook his head.

"I've heard about it. I don't blame you. After all, you haven't reached the point where you have the power to decide everything. It's rare to find someone on the other side who can fight guerrilla warfare and mobilize ordinary people."

Sager smiled and said, “I am also curious about such talents, so I came here.”

"Yeah, Lord Sarge is super curious, he doesn't even fish anymore."

Perona floated with an umbrella and poked her head out from behind Sarge, "I'm here too, Master Moria."

"Oh! Perona!"

Moria was delighted at first, but then his face fell again, "This is not a good place to play!"

"I can protect myself, Lord Moria." Perona stuck out her tongue.

She is not weak. As long as she is not facing a strong person with a strong will, her ability can put anyone into trouble.

"It's just right. Let Perona try it too. Isn't it said that ordinary people can display Haki? Let's test it out and see if the hardship of the soul is stronger than the motivation, or vice versa."

Sager laughed and said, "We'll know what the situation is when the time comes."

"That's right, I am also useful, Lord Moria." Perona said proudly.

Moria shook his head and followed Sage towards the tent in the center, while the rest of the people spontaneously went on the boat to carry supplies.

The heavy rain could not stop the enthusiasm of the pirates. The chef in charge of cooking in the tent began to make a fire and prepare dishes. Not long after, stews were brought to the central tent by his men.

"Malika was also very busy this time, so she didn't bring any. The conditions are simple, so let's just eat like this."

Sager asked Perona to serve him a bowl and said to the people sitting inside, "After we win, we will prepare a good meal and hold a banquet in the palace here."

"Of course you will win."

Moriah said: "Actually, the best method is Hawkins's, but you didn't agree. In that case, we would have more people, more economy and more power expansion."

All the Sags have come here, it is impossible for them to fail here.

But if you want to win beautifully, Hawkins' proposal is the best.

"That's not necessary. Just capture the king. No matter which way they come, I'll go one way. You should learn from Lily on this point. She has had examples before. You've fallen into the enemy's rhythm."

Sarge picked up the spoon and smiled at Moria: "If we catch the one they want to protect, we can destroy most of their confidence. In this sea, many people still respect the king, so if we kill the king, we will win half the battle. If they want to continue to resist, then move them away. My territory is not just this small, it is not enough for them to move to another place to survive."

He brought so many boats, and after a few trips the people moved away.

There is no need to even spend too much time here. Just treat this place as the front line. Once the war starts, many people will be willing to leave, and no amount of resistance will be of any use at that time.

As he was saying this, one of his men suddenly came in and said, "Governor!"

"explain."

"The Kingdom of Hyrule sent an envoy and said they wanted to surrender."
