"Officials of Emerald City..."
Zhang Tuohai looked at the group of kneeling officials below, walked back and forth twice, and then slowly spoke.
"Are you locals the only ones in charge of the Emerald City? Who was sent by the empire to supervise?"
Zhang Tuohai asked.
"There is a shadow governor and a finance minister." The fat white man at the head said quickly.
"Which one is it, bring it out."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Quick, pull them out."
Fatty Bai said to the guard not far away.
The guards immediately ran over and pulled out two middle-aged men wearing gorgeous robes.
"What are you doing? We are officials sent by the empire to manage this place. You have no right to arrest us, let go!"
Two middle-aged men shouted loudly.
"You guys, kill the two of them, stab each of them once, and no one will be spared. Whoever is spared will be a lackey of the empire, and will be executed together with them. You make your own choice. I will give you ten seconds to choose, ten
,Nine..."
As Zhang Tuohai counted down, Fatty Bai and his men looked at each other and made up their minds.
Fatty Bai pulled out his rapier from the waist of the guard next to him and came to a middle-aged man.
"What are you going to do?" The middle-aged man was scared, "I am the shadow governor sent by the empire to manage this place. If you dare to kill me, it will be regarded as rebellion. Are you ready to face the revenge of the Royal Navy? By then, the entire city will be
The island will be razed to the ground, the houses will be burned, all the people will be sold into slavery, and the entire island will cease to exist. You have to think clearly!"
The middle-aged man shouted loudly.
Without saying a word, the fat man stabbed the middle-aged man in the abdomen with his sword.
"Uh——"
Blood flowed from the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth.
Fatty Bai suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed the second middle-aged man.
The second middle-aged man still wanted to resist, but his arms were twisted by two guards and he couldn't move at all. The fat man's sword directly penetrated his heart and lungs.
Fatty Bai let go of the sword in his hand and stood behind.
The political officer stood up second, drew his sword, and stabbed the shadow governor and the financial officer each with one sword.
Next came a series of officials such as the captain of the guard, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, the chief craftsman, etc. Each of them stabbed two people with their swords.
After the last person finished, Zhang Tuohai nodded with satisfaction: "Go and hang the two corpses on the city wall so that everyone can see it, and hang the Longya flag. If not, just do it.
If I can’t see Longya’s flag flying at the top of Emerald City tomorrow, then there is no need for Emerald City to exist. Do you understand?”
Zhang Tuohai asked coldly.
"I understand, I understand." Fatty Bai responded quickly.
"If you understand, do it."
"Yes, yes, yes." Fatty Bai quickly responded.
"Please go to the City Lord's Mansion to rest." Fatty Bai said respectfully.
"Don't worry about where I go, just do your own thing. I will conduct random checks from time to time. If I find that you are not doing well, humph..."
Zhang Tuohai snorted coldly when he said this, turned around and left without saying any more.
Moriel quickly followed.
"Roar——"
Alduin roared at the fat white man, then quietly followed behind Zhang Tuohai with his wings folded.
Zero looked around, then turned around and followed at the end.
"Why do you just let them go like this?" Moriel asked curiously, "I'm not questioning what you did badly, but there are a few people in there who were rebellious in the past. If you just let them go like this, what will happen?
The treatment is too light, so that there is no psychological burden on other people when they react?"
"The main reason is that time is too tight now, and there is not much time to replace people. If you want Emerald City to be effective, you have to rely on these experienced people. However, after waiting for this period of time, we stopped the first round of the Royal Navy.
If we fight back, we will have time to organize our internal resources, and then we will find other reasons to deal with these people."
"When we gain a firm foothold, these people will not be left to our own devices."
"When employing people, it is better to set a wise example."
"In addition, they have already handed in the certificate of surrender, and everyone has taken action against the imperial officials. In the eyes of the empire, they are traitors. Where else do they want to jump? If they don't follow you, they will die. Now they are determined.
It is not you but them who are contending with the empire."
"Because you failed, you can pat your butt and ride on the dragon and leave. They can only wait to die on the island."
Zhang Tuohai said with a sneer.
"So that's it."
Moriel nodded understandingly.
"Then where do we go next?"
"Advance along the shipping route and regain the ruling area of Longya. Which city is closest to here?"
Zhang Tuohai asked.
"The closest one to here should be Scallop Island, which is a place rich in scallops. It's not far from here, just go northeast." Moriel thought about it and said.
"Got it."
Zhang Tuohai nodded, took Moriel back to the ship, set sail, and sailed towards Scallop Island.
At the same time, the consul of the Emerald City led everyone back to the consul's residence.
"Go, change the sign of the Governor's Palace to the Consul's Mansion, burn all the flags of the empire, remove all the decorations related to the empire, and rush to make the flag of Dragon Cliff overnight. If I can't see Dragon Cliff tomorrow,
The flags are hanging all over the city, so I will hang all the tailors on the city! I can’t live, and no one can live!”
The fat white Archon shouted loudly.
At this time, the guard captain came over.
"Your Excellency, Consul, don't you need to make such a big show? I see that their ship has left here. If we change the flag like this, will it cause the empire to be dissatisfied and really send the navy to attack us? We can't bear the empire.
Naval attack."
"Ha, leave?" Fatty Bai sneered, "They have flying dragons. Do you know how fast dragons fly? You think they have left, but they may land on top of you in the next second."
"Moreover, do you think we still have a way out now? Each of us stabbed the Shadow Governor with a sword. In the eyes of the empire, we are all rebels. After being caught, even if we surrender, the only way is to be hanged. We
All members of the clan will be auctioned off as slaves."
"So, we can only win, not fail."
"Then our military strength is indeed not enough..."
"Then go buy it!" Fatty Bai said coldly, "We have money, but our own military strength is not enough, so we go to other city-states to buy soldiers, mercenaries, ships, artillery, and weapons and equipment. As long as we can buy
Buy them all for me, and remember not to be afraid of spending money. Once the money is spent, you can continue mining, but if the battle is lost, all of us will die!"
