Chapter 913: Sleepless Night (I)

The citizens of the City of the Seven Seas had another sleepless night today. Of course, the citizens of Neosfia are used to this kind of scene. In this archipelago city with the largest population in the world, the so-called Dominion government is just the mascot of a talented chaebol businessman, and the **** rampant in the world is the thugs and hounds of the chaebols. When the chaebols need to do some dirty work, but don't want to ruin their glorious appearance, these wild dogs need to come forward. Of course, the loyalty and combat effectiveness of these people are not satisfactory, but fortunately, the price is cheap, as long as one or two bones are thrown over, it is enough for these people to be grateful to Dade.

The wealthy merchants of Neosfia did not expect to raise a group of wolf-like iron armies.

Yes, Neosfia's navy was strong, but without supplies and contributions from the chaebols, the navy did not even have the funds to sail and fish in warships. And Neosfia doesn't need an army or security forces, because the real rulers here - the plutocracy - don't need it.

In this archipelago city with an estimated population of 20 million, the "vigilantes" stationed here in the Grand Templar are only 100 Templars, 50 battle priests, and 2,000 monks, making it impossible to maintain law and order. All they can do is to try not to expand the situation and not affect the safety and normal life of innocent citizens when the **** is in flames. When the underworld broke out in the night, the next morning, the city's sanitation workers, led by priests and medics, carried cartloads of corpses from the depths of the cobweb-like alleys - a visual spectacle of some kind for Neosfia.

Yes, commercial metropolises that lack strong governments and violent law enforcement agencies. It must be this virtue.

On May 7, 1226, the night of early summer in Tatsukai, the glorious era, did not have the moist and warm fresh temperament that turned from spring to summer. The ominous smell of blood, steel, and earth filled the air. The inexplicable feeling of depression was as hot as a flame, but it was still heavy and terrifying. Dominating everyone's perception and mood, the noisy sound of gold and iron crashing, shouting and screaming circulated in every corner of the streets and alleys.

Mr. Sauron, who lived in the port district of the south of the city, was furious, his old age was already insane, and his status as a retired armed merchant boatswain gave him a violent temper and a high position of almost dominance in the nearby community.

He was a good old sailor, but he was not a businessman, and his savings from his life work could only buy a small house in this popular community near the harbor and take the whole family into itβ€”but in any case, it was also an inheritance that could be passed on to future generations, wasn't it? Most of his neighbors are seafarers and fishermen. A few steps further south is the city's harbor, which is not destined to be a quiet and "elegant" neighborhood. Of course Mr. Sauron understood this, but it was so noisy to-night that it did not stop until two or three o'clock in the morning.

His heartless chubby wife slept peacefully, but Mr. Sauron couldn't. In a fit of rage, he tied his boatswain-age turban, took his three machetes, and rushed to the balcony in full gear.

"Who is yelling here? And let the neighbors not sleep? I'll have to go to work tomorrow! You scum! "Uncle Sauron stood on the balcony on the second floor. Soon the source of the noise was found, a group of half-sized children who were gathering at the street entrance downstairs.

"Daddy Zoro, we're going to get down to business." The young man at the head was obviously acquainted with Mr. Sailing, and it was estimated that he had been trained a lot. He squeezed a flattering hippie smile and said cautiously, "Big Brother Valudo has already brought someone over." We can kick the Black Snake out of our turf tonight! ”

"You little cubs, you start pretending to be hunters with a mouse in your pocket, don't you?" Although there were at least twenty or so bear children gathered there, the old man didn't care at all. roared on the spot: "The half-grown child is a triad, and that kid in Varudo thinks he's Ivey?" Red Mountain? He's a bear kid who never grows up. None of you are growing up, don't you know whether you live or die? ”

"Well, Daddy. So that you know that today's very powerful gang leader of the Black Gang, as well as the very powerful Four Heavenly Kings under him, have all gone to the north of the city, but I don't know what hard forks they encountered, and they were all destroyed. There are also people from the Red Lotus Society, and the president of the girls was hung up and beaten...... Everybody knows they're done! Don't you see? The headquarters of the Black Snake are on fire! We're going to smash up their bar and skating rink here tonight. The young man patted his chest and said triumphantly, "Even the Holy Book Society's gang of gods have been dispatched, we can't be left behind!" Ah, Daddy, I'm going to take my younger brothers to fight Big Brother Valudo, and I'll make amends to you when I come back! ”

The young man said this, and ran away with his younger brothers. They were obviously a bunch of half-sized boys, with shovels, wrenches, watermelon knives, baseball bats and the like in their hands, and the only thing that could be considered a weapon was actually the mace in the hand of the kid named Dino who took the lead...... However, it is such a group of rabble beings who have melons and eggs, but inexplicably run out of a sense of rhythm of a mighty teacher, a civilized teacher, and a victorious teacher. Uncle Zoro, an old fritter who has seen everything in the world, couldn't help but be stunned, and just watched this group of half-big bear children walk away.

"Could it be that the sky is really going to change?" The old boatswain shook his head suspiciously: "Don't these bear children know that the bosses behind the Black Snake Gang and the Red Lotus Society are actually the Dalrest family?" Dare to make trouble in front of such a behemoth, this is not enough for a few lives! ”

The old man rushed downstairs, ready to drag back the group of bear children, who were dragged and scolded. Although he has a violent temper that can't rub sand in his eyes, he is actually warm-hearted in his bones, and he must not watch this group of children who are equivalent to the neighbors who grew up watching him go to death. When they ran to the street, they found that the children had already gone far away, and they were all this age. It's completely impossible to catch up.

If it were a normal day, Uncle Sauron would have been as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. But this time I don't know why. He watched the children's backs disappear in front of him, but he didn't have the urgency and anxiety he imagined. Maybe it was an old seaman's sixth sense telling him. After tonight, not only the **** gang like the Red Lotus Society and the Black Snake Gang that is powerful in the old area, even the behemoths behind them, have no room to resist anymore.

"Huh...... Who knows? The wind is so noisy tonight, blowing away some of the old and bringing in some of the new, anyway, the big names of this capital of the seven seas are always up and down, what does it have to do with us dead people? The old man muttered a poetic sigh, and then put his hands behind his back. I didn't know why I had relaxed a lot of steps, so I went home and went to sleep.

The whole Minato area did not stop tonight, but the old man slept quite soundly.

Not only the port area, but also the adjacent Aiwei District, Warehouse District, Nanhe District and other areas where the lower class people gather (we all know that the more the lower class people gather, the population must be dense, and it is the hotbed of the underworld), which continues to be lively and even almost crazy rhythm throughout the night.

And the northern part of the city, which is separated by the entire central city between these areas near the southern harbours, is a bit quieter – but we must understand that quiet does not mean tranquility.

The Future Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce is located in an open area in the north of the city near the mountains. Bought a piece of land and built a small workshop. It is here that the guiding lamps and guiding furnaces, which are expected to be ready to be launched in July, the day of the unveiling of the Future Technology Building, will be launched throughout Neosfia.

We all know that. Neosfia has a lot of land, and labor is still expensive, but in fact, it does not have the conditions for the development of labor-intensive industries. Lu Xi's original plan. It is also preparing to place the main production bases of the guiding products in the future in the territory of Auckland and Virginia, two vast empires. There is an abundant labor force, and there is also a vein of Qiyao stone, which is currently inexhaustible. Of course. Considering the nature of imperialism, even if they have a good relationship with the two royal families, they are doomed to be unable to control the important weapons of the country in the hands of "outsiders". Decades or even decades later, they will have to help Virginia, Oakland, and the Commonwealth build their own guiding industries. If the "friendship" between the Three Kingdoms and the Rotary Club is to continue behind him, Karin, and Artoria, he must learn to let go and learn to find common interests.

Of course, in the future, Lu Xi may find a way to choose a relatively secluded island near Neosfia, which is conveniently accessible, and establish a cutting-edge guidance laboratory directly under the Rotary Club and the Future Technology Chamber of Commerce, as well as a larger production line. But that's the layout of the future.

At present, the workshop set up in the north of the city of Neosfia can only be regarded as medium-sized in terms of production capacity, number of workers, floor area and even storage flow, and it is impossible to achieve large-scale distribution of goods in the whole city. To put it bluntly, what Lu Xi wanted to do was originally just a kind of hunger marketing, and the products produced in the past few months since the opening of the workshop were put on the market for sale in July.

As expected, the number of these products will only last in the market for a month. In the meantime, you can play a "out of stock", so that the citizens who enjoy the convenience of the new product will naturally be made hungry and thirsty...... When the second batch of products arrives, on the one hand, the price can be slightly raised, and on the other hand, the concept of the guiding products and the guiding era can be thoroughly instilled into the hearts of every citizen.

However, all of this is premised on the fact that the products that are currently stored at the back of the workshop will be available on the market in July. Otherwise, all the planning will be a farce that makes people laugh out of their teeth, and the credibility and reputation of the upstart Chamber of Commerce in the future will be completely destroyed in the business world of the capital of the seven seas, and even the landmark building that is being built in the center of the city will be irretrievable.

The Red Lotus Society, the Black Snake Gang, and the Ivey Group, the three major gangs in the south of Neosfia City, carried out tonight's operation with such a purpose.

To cross the entire central city, of course, you can't bring too many people, and they must all be reliable elite forces. Although these three are gangsters, after all, they are also big gangs that can control a large area of territory in the south of the city. Even so, in the face of the godfather's spontaneous order, several families still didn't dare to take it lightly, so the Black Snake Gang and the Red Lotus Society were their bosses themselves. The former and his hardcore brother "Four Heavenly Kings" are said to have been born as mercenaries and gladiators who lick blood with knives, and they are quite famous for murder; The latter is a young woman, and her core subordinates are also a group of women, but most of the men are much more gentle, and it is said that they are a female warrior nation from the inland jungles of Sosnes in the southern continent.

In short, these two bosses, combined with their hardcore abilities, are enough to make a name for themselves even on a dangerous battlefield, let alone in the gangsters...... Now, when such a bandit is out to deal with a small workshop in the middle of nowhere, it is natural to feel that everything is invincible.

Compared to the densely populated southern and central parts of the city, the northern part of the city of the Seven Seas is much more sparsely populated, with no large commercial districts or residential areas with dense alleys and alleys, and no "vigilantes" led by Templars and priests with swords to patrol them. And it's full of woods and hills, which makes it ideal for a surprise attack. In short, as long as a fire burns the other party's workshop, the "godfather" will be very happy, his old man will be happy, and we will have a good time in the future.

They seem to have forgotten that these places are suitable for surprise attacks, but they are also suitable for ambushes...... (To be continued.) )
