Through the Admiral's words, Da Liang always felt that she had another purpose, and from her playful eyes, Da Liang was even more sure of his guess. Julian's presence is his biggest hole card, and if it is not necessary, he is unwilling to let the archangel come to this castle to risk.

"Dear Admiral, I think if you want to punish me, you should call the guards to arrest me. I guess you may have some task for me, and I am willing to do everything in my power to make amends for the sins I have committed. ”

"You're very smart," the Admiral's answer relieved Da Liang, it seems that robbing a merchant ship is not a big deal for her to command the entire Pudong fleet, "Maybe there is still a lot of strength, otherwise as a former captain of the Pudong Fleet and a good crusader commander, Sidney would not have joined your command." I have a task here that suits you if you can complete it...... I can spare you for your crimes, and there are other unexpected benefits waiting for you. ”

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

I heard that there was a mission, and it was a mission issued by the Admiral of the Pudong Fleet himself, in line with the rules of the game, this must be a very rewarding task. Da Liang didn't expect to be caught by a pirate and have such a benefit, and immediately replied happily: "Please give me the task, Lord Admiral, and I will definitely complete it beautifully for you." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me finish the task, and then you decide whether to accept it or not," the admiral sitting on the high seat showed a mysterious smile, "I guess you should also know that the entire Shangjiang City is facing a great crisis right now." Shangjiang City is a main city of the human race, and its owner is His Majesty, the King of the East China Sea. Around this city are seven cities of other races, belonging to seven marquises, all of whom are vassals of the King of the East Sea, and this relationship has always been very strong. It's just that in recent years, there have been signs of instability in these vice-cities, especially Chongming City, which is controlled by the elves, who began to disobey His Majesty's orders and secretly hoard resources to expand the army. This is not a good phenomenon, because if we leave Chongming City alone, it will trigger other sub-cities to follow suit. It is likely that there will be a large-scale rebellion in the entire Shangjiang City in the near future......"

Da Liang, who had a lot of speculation about the mission, was taken aback by the Admiral's words: "No, it's so difficult that you want me to attack Chongming City?" Just kidding, right? ”

"Of course I won't let you attack Chongming City, after all, they are still subordinate to Shangjiang City at this time...... At least nominally, and you don't have the strength to attack Chongming City. In fact, just as I asked Sidney to do in the first place, the secret confrontation between Shangjiang City and Chongming City has already begun, and our Pudong fleet has been cracking down on the smuggling of the Chongming fleet to prevent the source of their gray funds. Not long ago, a subordinate I sent to monitor the Chongming fleet reported to me a strange thing......"

There are thousands of islands in the sea east of Shangjiang City, and some large islands are inhabited, but most of them are small islands that are uninhabited, and Shangjiang City is not willing to spend materials on these islands that have no value. But not long ago, a captain belonging to the Pudong fleet was patrolling and smuggling when he discovered a strange thing: the Chongming fleet was transporting soldiers and supplies to an island called Feichen Island.

"Flying Dust Island is a kilometer in circumference, there is no fresh water on it, the terrain is not suitable for mooring ships, and the location is not on the route, so it has no strategic significance at all. It would be understandable if the Chongming fleet planned to place a sentry on it, but the large number of garrisons had to keep my attention to it. After all, this is a sensitive period, and as a possible adversary at sea, I must master every move of the Chongming fleet. So I sent someone to sneak into Dust Island to see what these elves were trying to do. But the elves are very well guarded there, and my people can't get in at all, and they can't conduct a large-scale search to break the already tense nerves on both sides. Therefore, I need an outside force to help me find out: what is there on Feichen Island that has attracted so much attention from Chongming City. Remember that this is an unconventional mission, and any behavior you do near Dust Island has nothing to do with our Pudong fleet, and even in the event of a war on Dust Island, I will send a fleet to support. ”

Obviously, this task is to let Da Liang attack an island that is tightly guarded by the Chongming fleet, if Da Liang can attack it, it is naturally good, even if Da Liang can't attack it, the Pudong fleet will take the opportunity to send a fleet to land on Feichen Island in the name of support. At that time, no matter what the process was, the beautiful admiral in front of her would know what the Chongming fleet was doing on that island?

Anyway, Da Liang is a bomb thrown out in this mission, and it is best to kill the other party, even if it can't be blown up, the Pudong fleet can rush in in the name of concern.

After realizing the role he played in it, Da Liang found that his ending would definitely be very tragic.

"Can I refuse?"

The Admiral said indifferently, "Of course, but ...... You will be charged with piracy, your ships and men anchored in the docks near the military port will be captured by me, and I will even send my fleet out to sea to find your territory, I don't think the king of the East Sea will mind having an extra piece of territory of his own. ”

She even knew the location of the ship! That's right, since she knew about Sidney's existence, she must also know where Sidney would park the ship, and now her own life and that of her subordinates are in the hands of this admiral. There is no second option for this task.

"Okay, I've taken the task, but what's in it for me?" Da Liang, who was determined to take on the task, began to bargain with the Admiral, "To attack an island controlled by Chongming City, I need to mobilize all my soldiers, and my army will most likely die there. If there is no good, I have less to lose by dying here......"

Seeing Da Liang's promise, the admiral also said happily: "The maritime privateer certificate issued by the Pudong Fleet, your ship will be protected by the Pudong Fleet at sea, and you can stop at the port controlled by the Pudong Fleet, and your goods can enter the market at normal prices through us; One three-masted battleship and three two-masted battleships, these ships are enough to organize a decent sea force. ”

Privateer credentials are a good thing, which means that the Bright Fleet can be legally looted, and the looted goods can be sold for normal prices instead of being heavily discounted. Just like the spices he has now worth 500,000 gold coins, even if he has Sidney's connections, he can buy up to 300,000 gold coins, but if he gets a privateer certificate, he can buy 500,000 like normal goods, which is really an irresistible temptation.

And there are also battleship bonuses, with which Da Liang can form a powerful pirate fleet.

But......

Bargaining......
