Zong Ge asked Zidi: "Now that the matter has come to this, what do you think is the best thing to do next?"
The current situation is that the Imperial Secret Service has taken control of Wisteria Store. The store’s radio station is definitely unusable.
Not only that, it’s best not to use the Wisteria Telecommunications Station outside the Ice Sculpture Island.
The scale of the Empire's secret espionage organization is very large, and it is likely that it has also made arrangements in other directions.
Zidi said: "The Baizhen family has issued a large bounty in the bounty guild of the empire. I thought that we might be able to act as bounty hunters and contact the Baizhen family through the bounty guild."
"But unfortunately, there is no branch of the Bounty Guild in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom."
Zong Ge nodded slightly: "There used to be some, but a rebellion more than 40 years ago caused the Ice Sculpture Kingdom to completely ban the bounty branch of the empire."
Zidi also knew this. When they first came to Ice Sculpture Island, they purchased a large amount of information.
The rebellion that happened more than 40 years ago is a relatively important part of the intelligence. It is also an important part of the information for outsiders to understand the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.
Zidi continued: "So, after leaving Ice Sculpture Island, we have to sail a long distance before we can find bounty clubs on other islands."
"Besides that, we can turn to the Imperial Navy for help."
"The Baizhen family once mobilized their connections and asked the Imperial Navy to help search for Zhenjin and me."
"But it's not safe to rely on the Imperial Navy."
"The current situation of the Baizhen family is not good. If the news about our contact with the navy is first conveyed to the political opponents of the Baizhen family, it will cause huge trouble."
Having said this, Zidi paused, her eyes became sharp, she stared at the alchemy communication device in front of her, and said tentatively: "In the end, what we lack most is connections."
"If we can find a key person through whom we can communicate with the empire's senior officials, then we can directly abandon the Baizhen family."
"But none of us can reach that level."
This height is unusual.
He must be able to speak up in the Shengming Empire, have certain rights and strength, and be able to keep the survivors together.
In the past, before the Ziteng Chamber of Commerce was reorganized, Zidi's father could barely be found.
But after Zidi's father died, although Zidi took over, the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce that she was able to control was extremely dilapidated, and was less than one percent of its original size.
Zidi's words were meant to probe Zong Ge.
Because judging from all the previous clues, Zong Ge seems to have extraordinary blood and origin.
The business lady has been influenced by her ears and eyes since she was a child, and can judge a person's social status, commercial value, etc.
Zidi judged in her heart: Although Zong Ge is a half-orc, among the survivors, he is the most likely to have contact with the high-level officials of the empire.
After hearing what Zidi said, Zong Ge fell into silence for a long time.
Looking at the other end of the communication device, there was no response for a long time, so Zidi had no choice but to continue: "In addition to these two methods, there is a third method. I personally think it is the most suitable for us at the moment."
"We can wait for the National Code of Ice Sculpture."
"The Ice Sculpture Kingdom must have made an invitation in advance. During the National Ceremony, the empire will definitely send senior officials here."
"It's very possible that there are high-ranking navy generals."
"We can try to reach them."
Although Zidi was almost ambushed by the imperial spies. Firstly, the imperial spies had not yet connected the Necromancer and the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group. Secondly, the empire itself was full of factions and the internal affairs were complicated.
Zidi: “Although the business plan was successful, it only completed the first phase.”
"Next, it's still very important and cannot be separated from people."
"This is a great opportunity. Elsewhere, we wouldn't pay attention to it."
"But here, the spirit of dueling is prevalent. The captain killed Fujituro before, making us the most popular. The cooperation with the Satoma family and the relationship with the Lord of Snow Bird Port also increase our own status in the dialogue with the empire's senior officials.
.”
"We can definitely continue to make bigger waves in the market, show our strength, and increase our confidence in future negotiations with the empire's high-level officials."
Before, the survivors mainly wanted to contact the Baizhen family. But now that the situation has developed to this point, Zidi has adapted to the situation and changed her plan.
Since it's a lot of trouble and effort to go out, it's better to wait for the higher-ups of the empire to come over on their own initiative.
Zong Ge thought for a while: "This method is good."
"The Empire and the Ice Sculpture Kingdom have always attached great importance to maintaining the relationship between the two parties."
"The emperor even gave the young thirteenth prince to the Ice Sculpture Royal Family to raise. It is extremely rare for a strong country to take the initiative to give a proton to a weak country."
"It was only a few years ago that the Thirteenth Prince officially returned to the empire for the first time to visit his father."
"This time in Guodian, the Thirteenth Prince returns, and he must be accompanied by high-ranking officials from the empire."
"Now that I think about it, when the emperor entrusted the protons to the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, he was probably preparing for the current strategy of the wilderness continent."
After Zong Ge sighed, he formally reached an agreement with Zidi.
They chose to stay in the Ice Sculpture Capital, waiting for the national code and the arrival of the empire's top officials.
The main body of the plan has been determined, and then comes the other details.
Zong Ge: "In this case, I decided to continue the military training of the mercenaries."
"Especially maritime military training, it is very important."
"The Shengming Continent and the Wilderness Continent are separated by vast oceans. The maritime battle in the future must be one of the main themes."
Zidi frowned: "In terms of funding, it is no longer a problem. But is it safe?"
At the Snowbird Port dock, the mercenaries are protected by mage towers and other protections. However, if they have to leave the port for military training, they may give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Zong Ge insisted on his suggestion: "We need a way out, Miss Zidi."
"We must consider future retreats."
"Especially for us, facing two hostile organizations is very dangerous."
"The Deep Sea Monster Fish was driven away by the captain, and it hasn't come back yet. If we really have to escape from the Ice Sculpture Island in the future, we can mainly rely on our ships and subordinates."
"Of course, this is just a retreat."
"We can refer to Dadou's method and create some secret transmission tools."
Zidi wanted to speak, but then Zonge said again: "I know what you mean."
"Indeed, if they want military training, they must stay away from the dock."
"Once the enemy takes action, this group of people will probably be wiped out."
"But we still have to do it."
"Because it's the right thing to do!"
“Don’t stop on the road to self-improvement just because you’re in danger or threatened!”
There was a biting coldness in Zong Ge's voice.
"And, based on what I know about the enemy, the possibility of them taking action against the branch is not high."
I came home from overseas. The code is not in good condition. There will be more updates, but please record it in the account first.
