The Black Throne of Pirates

Chapter 189 Bloody Wealth

After the outbreak of the civil war, the rebel army led by Gilbert was no different from pirates. Wherever they went, they burned, killed, raped, and looted. However, in this bloody process, the rebel army looted a lot of wealth.

Ice and Snow Town, Rhodes Port, and a large number of ordinary rural towns are all the targets of their plunder.

However, this huge wealth did not fall into the hands of Gilbert, the leader of the rebel army. Most of it fell into the hands of the generals and soldiers of the rebel army. Wealth belongs to the command of the one who grabs it.

As soon as this order came out, the morale of the rebel army increased greatly, which established a solid foundation for the rebel army to defeat the king's army head-on many times in a row.

Most of the soldiers of the rebel army were shot by poor people. In order to protect their hard-won wealth, they worked very hard, and their fighting power was naturally very strong.

As the saying goes, everything has two sides. Although Gilbert's order has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the rebel army, and it also played a role in quickly exploding troops, but the price is the reputation of the rebel army in the Drum Kingdom. It stinks completely.

As a result, even if the rebels had huge wealth in their hands, very few people dared to do business with them. The merchants were afraid of being blackmailed by them, making them unable to spend even if they had money.

In the end, only some chambers of commerce with powerful armed forces and some merchants who want money and life dare not do business with them.

Taking huge risks to do business with this group of rebels who are doing all kinds of evil, of course the merchants are willing to earn enough profits. The price of the goods they sell is several times that of the market, such as wine and skins, which are very popular among the rebels Business has grown exponentially.

Relying on the wealth obtained by plunder, and living a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife, the ordinary soldiers of the rebel army certainly don't take money seriously, they all try to enjoy themselves in time, and enjoy venting to their heart's content, which makes it possible to complete the relationship with the rebel army. The merchants who traded made a lot of money.

Among these merchants who were able to successfully complete transactions with the rebels, the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce run by Williams is of course one of them, and it also occupies a considerable share of the transaction, all thanks to the fact that Ice Snow Town has become a city far away from Snow Wind City. Very close to port towns.

In fact, not only the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, but also many chambers of commerce and businessmen who came to Ice and Snow Town to develop were involved.

Trade is often two sides, Snow Wind City, as a well-known military center in Magnetic Drum Kingdom, is the base of weapon production.

Merchants purchased a large number of cheap and high-quality weapons here, and then used the ice and snow town as a transfer point to sell the weapons to other places, earning a lot of profits again.

The reason why Ice and Snow Town can develop so fast is that apart from overseas trade, it is also thanks to those rebels in Snow Wind City who spend a lot of money. The bloody wealth they have gained from the people has become the cornerstone of the rapid development of Ice and Snow Town.

However, the wealth earned by the merchants from the rebel soldiers is actually only a small part of the rebels. Most of the wealth that the rebels plundered is actually in the hands of the rebel generals, those who first followed Gilbert The nobles who rebelled together.

These nobles don't want to be fooled by ordinary soldiers, and they have a way out. Although they are also extravagant in normal times, they still retain most of the huge wealth obtained by plundering, but because the civil war is not over yet, they have been temporarily stored in the In Snow Wind City, the base camp of the rebel army.

At this moment, it was the wealth of these nobles that Barr was eyeing.

If a region wants to develop rapidly, the economic foundation is essential. In order for Ice and Snow Town to embark on the road of rapid development and allow its own power to continue to grow and develop, the wealth that these nobles plundered from other places is necessary. indispensable.

Horses don't get fat without night grass, and people don't get rich without windfalls. This is the truth.

Dorak, the first companion who followed Barr, was already a powerful major in the rebel army at this time. Dorak participated in several battles between the rebel army and the king's army, and relied on his outstanding strength to succeed tenaciously. survived.

With a series of solid military exploits, and with the help of the Bar faction behind him, Dorak certainly had a successful official career, rose rapidly in the rebel army, and has independently controlled a new army of 500 people.

Not long ago, when the rebels attacked Ice and Snow Town, the army led by Dorak also participated in it. Since it was a vanguard force, his army suffered heavy losses and he was also seriously injured.

Of course, a rebel general of Dorak's level and roots is highly valued by the rebel leaders, and was soon rescued from the front line and transported back to Snow Wind City to recuperate.

Due to his injuries, Dorak was not sent to attack the royal city this time, but was ordered to stay at the base camp, and was given the task of guarding the city defense of the western city wall.

"Dorak, it's so late, don't worry about the city defense, those bastards in Bingxue Town can't take the initiative to attack, come with me to the city for a drink or two, I heard that the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce is newly opened in the city There are quite a few hot girls in the bathing center, we two brothers can have a good time tonight, my treat, hehehe~"

On the west wall, a sloppy man wearing a rebel school-level military uniform smiled and said to the rebel major Dorak who was still patrolling the city defense seriously.

Hearing the words, Dolac's face suddenly showed a hint of emotion, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, Bet, I don't know what's going on in Wangcheng yet, I have the intention to go there kind of place."

The bathing center, this is the most shop opened by the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce in Snow Wind City recently. It mainly provides various entertainment services, ranging from low-end to high-end, and is very popular among rebel soldiers and generals.

Dorak also often goes there to have fun. Of course, his purpose of going there is not only to relieve pressure, but also to win over his colleagues and pass on information.

The two organizations, the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Shadow Organization, have long been inseparable. Wherever the store of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce opens, the tentacles of the Shadow Organization will extend.

During this period of time, all kinds of information about the rebels were basically obtained by the Shadow Organization from these entertainment venues opened by the Gold Flash Chamber of Commerce. The rebel soldiers and generals who drink big and love to brag are always inadvertently Disclose all kinds of information.

"Don't worry, Dorak, Gresham is dead, the king's army must have lost their morale, and I heard that the battle in the king's city is very beneficial to us now, and it won't be long before we can take it. What a pity. , if this good time is not caught up, those guys must be able to make a lot of money again."

The rebel major named Bate said with a little regret when he heard the words.

After receiving the news of the old King Gresham's death, Gilbert of course spared no effort to promote it, so as to attack the morale of the king's army and improve the morale of his own.

At this time, the people in Snow Wind City, the base camp of the rebels, had already heard the news of the death of the old king. Not surprisingly, the rebels who had no way out were very happy when they heard about it. Wept bitterly.

"Don't be careless, Bate, we can't relax our vigilance until the dust of the war is settled. We just attacked Ice and Snow Town yesterday. It is hard to guarantee that those lunatics will not take the initiative to attack at this time. After all, our base camp is now at its weakest. time."

Dorak still maintains his usual stable and reliable personality, reminded.

But Bate obviously didn't listen. He saw that Dorak still refused to go together, so he went alone, and he also brought a large number of his own soldiers, which made the city defense force on the west wall a lot more empty.

After Bate walked away, Dorak still vaguely heard the other party's irony that he was stupid and old-fashioned.

After the news of the old king's death spread in Snow Wind City, the rebels were as happy as a holiday, and began to have fun. Many rebel generals who stayed behind even took the lead in person, like Dorak who was serious There are very few people who actually carry out the task.

At this moment, the entire Snow Wind City was extremely lively, immersed in the smell of wine and corruption.

"My lord, this is the latest order."

Not long after Bate left, a rebel soldier came to Dorak, took out a sealed box from his arms, and handed it to Dorak respectfully.

When Dorak saw the box, a look of joy appeared on his face, he quickly took out a key from his body, and opened the box smoothly.

Inside the opened box was a letter with wax paint and a fruit with a lot of strange patterns, which was a precious devil fruit.

Dorak opened the letter immediately and quickly browsed the contents. During the process, this Bar faction member who had followed Barr's order and lurked into the rebel army for a long time showed a long-lost happy smile on his face.

Then, he ate all the devil fruits in the box without hesitation, and then said to the rebel soldier who brought the box in front of him: "Notice, the destruction operation has officially begun."

　Thanks to Shen Xiuya for the 500 starting point reward.
