I laughed secretly in my heart.
At the same time, he also obtained very valuable information.
It turns out that the reason why Jian Qianou became a soul body was because of the ancient Liaozhou technology excavated from the ancient ruins of the island core on Yuze Island.
When he saw that there were no soldiers around, he stopped, turned around and looked at the two of them, and asked in a bad tone:
"Tell me, Jiang Jianmu, why did you kidnap children after not seeing you for ten years?"
"As far as I can remember, I have never allowed the reputation of the Tianou Group to degenerate to the point of being called an evil organization in Liaozhou."
Hearing Lin Lan's question, Jiang Jianmu couldn't help but tremble all over, and quickly knelt on the ground again, answering respectfully:
"My Lord, this is an order from Director Lu. I don't know the specific reason."
"It's just that according to my guess, these children are going to be sent to the Nine Islands Alliance. It seems that Director Lu has reached some kind of deal with the Great Master Hui'an in order to carry out the third expedition."
Jiang Jianmu understood at this time that it seemed that the Lord of the Undercover had not yet gone to Blade Forging Island to meet Lu Feng.
But he was also very clear about the style of the Lord of the Undercover.
Since the Lord of the Undercover chose to set up Xueying Town as a secret base first and did not go to the headquarters of Blade Forge Island, it means that there must be a more important plan.
Therefore, he did not think too much about it, answered honestly, and gave his speculation.
Of course, everything in his mind was also visible to Lin Lan using the power of breath.
"Um……"
Lin Lan's tone was thoughtful. According to the information provided to him by Jian Qianou, Lu Feng would not easily betray the Tianou Group.
After getting Jiang Jianmu's answer, this explanation made sense.
It seems that the kidnapping of children was ultimately done by Master Hui'an.
The Tianou Group simply made some kind of deal with Hui'an Dasi in order to return to Oran, exchanging these Liaozhou children for resources or some Liaozhou technologies to enhance themselves.
But this method is indeed despicable and will cause endless troubles.
If the third expedition back to Oran fails, Hui'an Dasi and Jiudao League will put the blame on Tianou Group, and Tianou Group will not be able to clear itself of the blame even if it wants to.
After all, Lu Feng and Tianou Group were too anxious to return to Oran.
"Master Sub-Observer, please excuse me for interrupting, but these children must not be handed over to the Nine Islands Alliance."
Just as Lin Lan was thinking, Dao Yerong suddenly knelt on one knee and said to him sincerely:
"The Great Master Hui'an wants these children. It is very likely that he has mastered some ancient technology and needs children from all races as mediums."
“These children are all innocent, and if Hui An Da Si achieves his goal, this old venomous snake is likely to be detrimental to the Tianou Group.”
Hearing this, Lin Lan took a few more glances at the female island owner of Inaba Island from the Rabbit Ear Clan.
It can be seen that Inaba Rong does not have any loyalty to the leader of the Nine Islands, Hui'an Daisi, who murdered her father, and it can even be said that he hates her.
No wonder Inaba Island has always been the most stable rear base of Tianou Group in Liaozhou.
Compared with the other three island owners under the control of Tianou Group, Daoye Rong may be the only island owner who has completely sworn allegiance to Tianou Group.
"I have already made arrangements for this matter. In a short time, the children from Liaozhou who were sent to Blade Casting Island will be sent back."
“At that time, you will send these children to their respective homes, make compensation and apologize.”
"As for the Great Master of Brilliance and Darkness...he won't be the co-lord of the Nine Islands for long."
Lin Lan finished speaking in a calm tone, but Jiang Jianmu and Dao Yerong took a breath at the same time.
They heard a subtle hint of murderous intent from Lin Lan's mouth.
At this moment, they suddenly realized something.
Now that the United States of Oran has been completely controlled by the Tianou Group...
So, will the next step for Lord Undercover be to formally take action against Liaozhou?
Chapter 744: Incorporating Inabajima (Part 3600) words
"Okay, after you two withdraw the main force, come to the mayor's residence in Xueying Town."
Lin Lan was not surprised that these two people could hear his murderous intention towards Hui'an Dasi.
After all, no matter what, they are the actual rulers of a main island. If they don't even have this little bit of vision and speculation, then they have been wasting their time.
Besides, he was indeed dissatisfied with Hui'an Daisi and the Jiudao Alliance, but due to the existence of the Demon King's Army and X, he didn't want to cause trouble.
"The mayor of Xueying Town doesn't know my identity yet, but I have met her once. As the general agent of Inaba Island, you will apologize to her for the evil done by the mecha troops that came to Xueying Town."
"As for the production and construction plan for the four islands of Liaozhou, it can also be carried out, and the taxes do not need to be so high."
After Lin Lan finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Jianmu and squinted his eyes and said:
"When the time is right and the threat from the Demon King's army is lifted, I will arrange for you to return to Oran."
Hearing these firm words, Jiang Jianmu nodded heavily out of excitement.
Now that he knew that the United States of Oran was still alive and well, he naturally would not be so anxious to return to his homeland.
As for apologizing to the mayor of Xueying Town, whom he had never met, it was not a difficult task for him.
The other party is someone that the Lord Spy has approved of, and he cannot even begin to reach her level.
Not to mention an apology, Jiang Jianmu had even made detailed plans in his mind for a series of subsequent economic and construction compensation for Xueying Town.
Dao Yerong also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked towards Lin Lan with endless gratitude in her eyes.
The reason why the Tianou Group has levied higher and higher taxes on the four islands in recent years is mainly for the purpose of arming for the expedition.
Such high taxes have made it difficult for many ordinary Liaozhou residents on the four islands to make ends meet.
Now that the Lord of the Undercovers has promised to resume sailing to Oran, the Tianou Group naturally no longer needs to levy high taxes to accumulate these armaments.
You know, as the island owner who has joined the Tianou Group, the pressure she faces in this situation is also enormous.
Moreover, once the voyages with Oran are resumed, many modern products that have been unable to be produced in Liaozhou in recent years can also be transported from Oran in a steady stream.
Those detained people who went to Oran to work ten years ago can finally return to Liaozhou.
This is a shot in the arm for many urban families who are currently in urgent need of labor and are waiting for their family members to return.
Inaba Rong already knew from the classics that only the people of Liaozhou can acquire elemental skills and cause effective damage to the Demon King's army.
Having lost so many young and middle-aged people, Liaozhou now finds it difficult to fight against the Demon King's army.
After Lin Lan finished instructing the two of them on these matters, he was about to return to Xueying Town, but suddenly he remembered that he had forgotten to arrange a few most important things.
So he spoke again, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked slowly:
"Have there been any new breakthroughs in the progress of the Inabajima Island Core Ancient Ruins in the past ten years?"
When Daoye Rong, the head of the Daoye family who was in charge of handling this matter, heard him mention this matter, her face changed slightly.
He replied in an apologetic tone:
"I am extremely sorry, Master Stalker, but our progress in conquering the ancient island core ruins has remained stagnant over the past ten years."
"According to your arrangement, Inaba Island should have three teams of elite steel-class adventurers and three mecha units working together to raid the ruins."
"However, due to the appearance of the Sirens, the Sea Hunting Festival cannot be held. The number of marine monsters has increased year by year, seriously affecting the safety of the islands' trade routes."
"So I have transferred all the troops originally used for the island core ancient ruins attack to protect the Chamber of Commerce. I hope you will forgive me."
After Dao Yerong finished speaking, Jiang Jianmu also added to her words:
"It's not just Inaba Island, sir. The progress of conquering the ancient ruins on the other three islands and even the main island of the Nine Islands Alliance has also been temporarily stalled due to the appearance of the Siren."
"Eight years ago, the islands of Liaozhou gradually stopped organizing the Raiders Festival and the Sea Hunting Festival. The last Raiders Festival was held on Weiguang Island four years ago."
Well, after Lin Lan learned about the lagging situation of the ruins strategy, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It seems that the burden of conquering the ancient ruins of the island core will still have to be handed over to him and the Sakura Empire's ship girls.
Let’s start with Inaba Island.
"Don't blame yourself. You guys did a great job in making flexible arrangements."
Lin Lan first finished speaking to Dao Yerong, then paused and continued to organize his words:
"The Demon King's army is about to revive. Once the Demon King's army is fully awakened, not only will Liaozhou be destroyed, but Oran and other countries will also be doomed."
"To defeat the Demon King's army, we must obtain sufficient ancient technology from the ancient ruins of the island core."
"In three days, I will personally lead a team to the entrance of the ancient nuclear ruins on Inaba Island to conduct a raid. You just need to dispatch enough mecha troops to cooperate with the excavation facilities along the way."
When they heard him say that he would personally lead the team to conquer the ancient nuclear ruins of the island, Jiang Jianmu and Daoye Rong looked at each other in astonishment.
"Master Stalker, those elemental creations, relic monsters, and relic mechanism barriers are extremely dangerous. Do you really want to force your way through them without a team of experienced adventurers?"
In the end, it was Dao Yerong who took the initiative to ask Lin Lan worriedly.
If the ancient ruins of the island core were really that easy to explore, then no one would have set foot in the depths of the island core for hundreds of years.
The Tianou Group had once dispatched a large army to forcibly attack the ancient ruins, and even once used cannons and bombers to carry out a fierce bombing on the ancient ruins of Inaba Island.
But the result was that the shock waves from the explosions of the shells and bombs were completely blocked by the ancient mechanical barriers within the ruins, and the island core ancient ruins remained safe and sound.
As for the mecha troops, they were torn into scrap metal in front of those ancient elemental creations and the ferocious monsters living in the ancient ruins, and even recycling was impossible.
Only the most senior Liaozhou adventurer team, those strong men from various races who have gone through countless expeditions and acquired many skills from the ruins, have entered the ancient island core ruins full of dangers and returned safely.
It is almost impossible for the Orlan people who cannot acquire skills to survive in the danger-ridden ancient ruins of the island core.
That is why Jiang Jianmu and Inaba Rong were so worried about Lin Lan’s plan to lead a team to attack the ancient nuclear ruins on Inabajima Island.
"Hehe... Old
Since my husband was able to return from Oran, he must have the means to capture the ancient ruins of the island."
Lin Lan smiled coldly, glanced at the two of them, and said slowly:
"Don't forget who defeated the Demon King's army in Xueying Town."
Upon hearing his words, the two most powerful people in Inaba Island immediately gasped.
In the end, they promised Lin Lan that after returning to Awazu City today, they would make preparations at the entrance of the island core ancient ruins as scheduled.
"Speaking of Azujin City, Jiang Jianmu, I have another task for you."
When Lin Lan returned, he finally turned his gaze back to the elderly general agent:
"After you return to Awajin City today, immediately arrange for a transport team to deliver half of Inaba Island's oil reserves to Xueying Town, and also escort half of the assets of the Inaba Island branch in the form of Haichen coins."
"After this, I will arrange for people to come to your place regularly to collect oil and Haichen coins. Before receiving the latest order from the Blade Casting Island Headquarters, there is no need to send these resources to the headquarters."
Jiang Jianmu naturally nodded in agreement to Lin Lan's request.
All of Tianou Group's assets in Liaozhou originally belonged to the Lord Undercover. As a general agent, there was no reason for him to refuse the mobilization of resources.
At the same time, Jiang Jianmu was also very fortunate that he had not been corrupt or wasted these resources over the years.
The amount of Haichen coins he has accumulated through business trade, taxes and various operations over the past decade will definitely satisfy the Lord Undercover.
As for oil, it is the lifeblood of the Tianou Group in Liaozhou, especially after being accumulated for several years for the third expedition, it will not be a worry for the Lord Undercover.
"Did the Nine Islands Alliance send people to Inaba Island some time ago?"
Just when Jiang Jianmu thought Lin Lan was about to leave, Lin Lan suddenly asked him a question that shocked him a little.
This made his face turn pale almost instantly, and Daoye Rong's face also became very ugly.
As expected, it is still the same as before, nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the Observer.
"I have heard about this matter before."
"Years ago, a unit of the Nine Islands Alliance infiltrated Inaba Island and attacked the mecha unit that was responsible for collecting taxes near Xueying Town."
Jiang Jianmu reported almost everything he knew to Lin Lan honestly and said:
"At the time, I thought that this Jiudao Alliance force was trying to cause misunderstandings and take advantage of the opportunity to win over the Inaba family's Wantong Group. But later, after I exchanged information with Inaba Rong, I confirmed that this Jiudao Alliance force... was from the Hidden Machine Group."
"The reason why the Demon King's army attacked Xueying Town and disturbed the Observer-sama was probably because of this unknown hidden machine group."
After hearing this information, Lin Lan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The hidden aircraft group is the direct special forces of Master Hui'an, and the intelligence provided by Jian Qianou also mentioned it to him to be more cautious.
According to Fang Jin's information, some residents of Xueying Town witnessed Yuki being taken away by this hidden machine crew.
