The Black Throne of Pirates

Chapter 287 Guardian Cloak and Feng Clay (4061 words)
"I know, Lord City Master, I just think it's a bit too impatient to do this, they have only trained for two months"

When Monica heard Barr's words, her pretty face was a little sad, and she spoke softly, but as she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

Barr continued to glance at her, did not continue to speak, turned around and walked along the aisle of the city wall.

He will not easily change his decision because of other people's opinions, especially those who put forward their opinions only because they are kind-hearted and cannot pass their own test.

Kindness is a nice quality, yes, but too expensive in this age of great pirates.

Monica only saw that the soldiers died in this war due to insufficient training time, but did not see how huge the resources Barr invested in these soldiers.

The army is a gold swallowing behemoth. There are about 10 troops in the Ice Snow City now, but with these 10 people, they would have to eat at least tens of millions of Baileys every day, not to mention the monthly military expenses and various daily expenses. Equipment loss and maintenance costs are even more expensive.

At least one billion Baileys a month.

Ice Snow City is now regarded as the most economically developed city in the Drum Kingdom, with an entrance of over 200 million. The economy mainly comes from the monopolized pharmaceutical industry and port taxation, and its daily profit can reach hundreds of millions of Baileys.

However, in addition to military expenditures, Ice Snow City's daily expenditures also include administrative expenditures, scientific research expenditures, infrastructure expenditures, education expenditures, and other huge expenditures.

It is really the head of the family who knows about Chai Migui. If Xue Feiya hadn't proposed to establish a bank that was not guaranteed by the credit of Ice Snow City's power, and obtained a large amount of funds from the private sector, Ice Snow City might have gone bankrupt by relying on the daily profit. .

Only two months of training?

The two-month training of these five thousand recruits will cost at least one billion Baileys, and the average cost can reach 20 Baileys.

Barr has definitely paid a lot of money in cultivating talents. Whether it is food, accommodation or training, he has tried his best to match the navy led by the world government.

Therefore, if the training continues, Ice Snow City will have to pay a lot of price.

While outside, a human life is not worth so much money at all, just like the popular slave shop in the Chambord Islands, an ordinary slave is only tens of thousands of pele.

Barr is not doing charity. Ever since he became the leader of a big power, he no longer does things based on his preferences, but more on the pros and cons.

In a word, don't do porcelain work without diamonds.

Since he had a job as a soldier in Ice and Snow City, he had to be prepared to die at any time, otherwise there would be so many good benefits.

However, Barr has spent so many resources on the army, and indeed found many good seedlings. Although they are not super geniuses, as long as they grow up, they are enough to become the backbone of the army.

"Ah~"

Seeing Barr turn away, Monica sighed and quickly followed.

She is actually a woman who is easy to satisfy. With a stable position, friends and loved ones around, and enough small money, she can live happily every day.

As far as the current life is concerned, she is very satisfied.

It's just that she gradually realized that the people who she decided to follow for a lifetime seemed to be always moving forward, even if she already had a status of almost one person below one person and above ten thousand people in the Drum Kingdom, and she was sitting on wealth that ordinary people could not spend in a lifetime, even Jill Burt, the enemy, has been killed by him, and he is still not satisfied.

Monica really wanted to ask Barr, what exactly is he pursuing?She couldn't understand Barr more and more.

"What a naive and stupid woman. This city lord is indeed a person who can cooperate with Boss Barr on an equal basis. He is a ruthless character. With him, this country will definitely not be peaceful."

Badgers, who was standing not far away, looked at Monica's back, smiled mockingly, and said sarcastically.

With good hearing, he completely stopped the conversation between the two just now, and now he only thinks that Monica, the legion leader, has a problem with his mind.

He once wandered on the great route, saw how big this world is, and also saw the life of people in various places, and was vaguely aware of the root cause of the turmoil in this world.

Therefore, when Barr defeated him and said that he would definitely pull those high guys from the sky to death in the future, he laughed wildly excitedly, and agreed to Barr's solicitation on the spot.

Yes, life would be less miserable and boring in this damn time if only following such interesting people.

Feng Kelei is an officer in Ice and Snow City, and his military rank has reached the rank of major. After being promoted to the rank of general, he finally obtained the right to lead a ship alone and become the captain.

He originally lived in a small island country close to the Kingdom of Alabasta, but half a year ago, the small island country was wiped out by a group of vicious pirates, and most of the people in the country fled dead.

Relying on the shemale boxing technique created by combining ballet with one hand, he successfully escaped from the pursuit of pirates, became one of the many homeless people in the great voyage, and then began to wander on the sea.

At the very beginning, he successfully came to the nearby kingdom of Alabasta by boat, but because he was a mermaid, he not only dressed strangely, but also acted strangely, and was often discriminated against by the locals, so life in Alabasta was difficult.

One day, an agent who claimed to be Baroque Studio came to the door, hoping that he would become one of them.

Life was a mess at the time, and when he heard that someone was willing to accept him and would offer generous remuneration and conditions, Feng Klei was of course moved.

It's just that he met a lot of liars during that time, so he didn't agree immediately, but explained that he would think about it for a few days before making a decision.

It was precisely because of this decision that he unexpectedly came to Ice and Snow City.

Not long after the baroque studio's special attack left, a person who claimed to be the HR staff of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce came to him and offered him a very good security job, allowing him to board the ice and snow as a ship guard. city ​​merchant ships.

Later, he came to Ice Snow City, a city full of vitality and order.

Feng Klei liked this city that was said to be built quickly from the ruins very much. The people here did not reject outsiders like the people of the Alabasta Kingdom, and they were very tolerant of cultural differences. Even a transvestite like him, Walking on the street, no one will speak rudely.

Later, he discovered that the reason why people in this city behaved like this was that the ruler, Masefield, was a very enlightened person. are willing to accept.

Masefield, the name is very famous in this city and even in this country. It has the Guardian of Ice and Snow City, the Iron-Blooded Duke of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, the Terminator of the Rebel Army, the Great Good Man of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, etc. A well-known name in the series.

Moreover, I personally have a very deep friendship with Snow Dibal, who is quite famous even in the great route.

After learning that the city is ruled by such a charismatic person, and that the other party is eager for talents, Feng Klei decided to join him.

First he went to join the army, and within a month, he stood out from the recruits and became an official Drum Kingdom soldier, obtained a resident ID card, and was assigned a house.

Next, he had sailing experience and was assigned to the newly established navy in Ice and Snow City, the First Fleet of the Ice and Snow Corps, as a sailor.

At the beginning, there were only three ships in the first naval fleet of the Ice and Snow Legion, and they were still standard warships purchased from the world government navy, and they were obsolete models.

The daily tasks of the First Naval Fleet are mainly to maintain the maritime trade routes off the coast of Ice Snow City, eliminate incoming pirate ships, protect merchant ships, and provide assistance to people in shipwrecks. Occasionally, they will get orders from their superiors to eliminate illegal smuggling merchant ship.

After more than two months of experience in the First Naval Fleet, Feng Kelei was quickly promoted from a lowly soldier to a major by relying on his accumulated military achievements. After that, he was transferred back to Ice and Snow City to study at the newly established Naval Academy in Ice and Snow City. Necessary knowledge of sailing and combat.

Just a few days ago, Feng Kelei finally passed the examination of the Naval Academy and became a school-level officer qualified to lead a ship alone.

Today, Feng Kelei and two classmates who passed the Naval Academy exam at the same time came to select the crew. The crew are the recruits who have just survived the war.

"Of the 5000 recruits, there are more than 1000 left. Alas~, why do I feel that the quality of the recruits is getting worse and worse."

On the city wall, a black-faced man wearing the uniform of the Ice City Navy looked down at the battlefield that had just ended, shook his head and said, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

The cloak on his shoulders is trembling in the wind. It is different from the justice cloak of the World Government Navy. The cloak of the Ice City Navy is mainly red and black, with the word "Guardian" on the back, which is called "Guardian" cloak.

"That's right, but the difficulty of our previous test should be lower. This skeleton monster looks scary. If ordinary recruits don't have enough psychological quality, it's easy to fall into their hands, but the pass rate is indeed too high." It’s low, the strength of those skeleton monsters is actually average.”

A naval officer next to him who was also wearing a protective cloak nodded in agreement, but he gave some excusable reasons.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Feng Kelei came out of the state of dancing ballet on one foot, put his feet on the ground again, and said with his mouth painted with red lips: "Ah~, you are really strict, but they will be all As for our lovely subordinates, we must not discriminate against them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a wink at the two of them.

Seeing this, the two Ice and Snow City naval officers couldn't help shaking their bodies. A chill surged out of their hearts, making goose bumps all over their bodies. They smiled and shook their heads to say no.

Although they had been with Feng Kelei for a while and knew that the other party had a problem with his sexual orientation, they still couldn't stand the personality of this outstanding person in the same class.

Feng Klei didn't care about the abnormal reaction of his colleagues. He turned his head and looked forward. He was shocked and exclaimed: "You two, that's Lord Masefield. I didn't expect him to come today. I'm so lucky. Come, come, come, he's coming this way."

As soon as the two heard it, they immediately followed Feng Kelei's gaze, and also found Barr who was walking with Monica and other guards, and their faces suddenly showed excited expressions.

It's not that the three of them have never met Lord City Lord, but they were all watching from a distance, and they had never been in close contact before. They didn't expect to meet unexpectedly today.

At the same time, Barr also discovered the three of Feng Kelei.

"That shemale, I think it's a guy named Feng Kelei, I didn't expect to climb to the position of major so quickly, he's quite capable."

Barr looked at Feng Klei, who was wearing the uniform of the Ice City Navy and the guard cloak, and thought with interest.

Baroque never thought about picking up the wool of the Baroque studio. Although the idea of ​​meeting the sand crocodile at the Alabasta Club in the past has long since gone bankrupt, he also continued to do what he wanted in another way. things.

Alabasta is a rare ancient country in the world, and it is still a vast country. Although most of it is desert, it has rich oil resources and mineral resources.

Therefore, the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce led by Williams had been deployed there a long time ago, and the shadow organization branch also took root there.

When the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Shadow Organization reached a certain level of influence there, Barr began to try to gather the wool of the Baroque Studio. Anyone who was invited by the Baroque Studio would secretly be invited by someone sent by the Shadow Organization , thereby attracting the Magnetic Drum Kingdom.

Because of this, Feng Klei was accidentally lured from Alabasta to Ice City by Barr, and then received it under his command.

Now, under the influence of his unexpected butterfly, the assassination agent who will be ranked second in the Baroque studio in the future has changed the trajectory of his life in this way, and has become a naval officer who defends the interests of Ice City in the name of guardian .

Unfortunately, probably because it was too early, Feng Kelei did not have the ability to imitate the fruit.

But even so, Feng Kelei's potential is still very good. After receiving the secret training of the Naval Academy (teaching the six naval styles) at the age of 20 this year, his strength has been greatly improved, enough to be alone in the first half of the great route.

Seeing Barr approaching, the three of Feng Kelei immediately stepped aside, stood up straight together, put on a standard military posture, and saluted Barr.

"Ah, Feng Klei, Barrow and Kanter, you three are here to select recruits."

Seeing this, Barr stopped in front of them, nodded with a smile, and named the three of them one by one.

"Yes!"*3
When the three of Feng Klei saw that Barr actually knew them and called them by their names accurately, they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and they blushed excitedly.

"Come on, I'm looking forward to your next performance, and those brave recruits are counting on you."

Barr patted the shoulders of the three of them respectively, and said seriously.

"Yes!"*3
The three of Feng Kelei once again said in unison.

Among them, Feng Kelei, who was very emotional, shed tears of excitement directly, and couldn't help holding Barr's hand, and didn't let go for a long time.
