From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Chapter 70 Scouting the Enemy

Looking at Xia Jieren walking out of the cabin, Princess Lit asked curiously, "Why did you go to bed so early yesterday?"

Xia Jieren said perfunctorily: "Ahem, I need to practice every day to improve my strength."

It brings tears to my eyes when I talk about it. From yesterday afternoon till evening, Xia Jieren's real body had been practicing continuously, all to make up for his previous laziness.

So when watching the cosplay show, Xia Jieren was in a state of both pain and happiness.

After hearing Xia Jieren's explanation, Princess Lit admired him even more. "It's because he works so hard that he has such strength at such a young age."

Self-braining is the most deadly.

The fungal mat will arrive at the Netherlands Island around noon.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Jieren ordered Chong Yi to steer the pirate ship towards the Netherlands Island.

At the same time, eighty percent of the flying dragons in the base also rushed towards the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Each of the two flying dragons carried a worker bee, and in addition, there were many reconnaissance eagles following them.

On the moving pirate ship, Princess Litte paced back and forth nervously. The old butler seemed somewhat calm, but still couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.

Xia Jieren comforted her with a few words and then said no more.

Excessive comfort at this time will only cause resentment.

We stopped in the sea 50 kilometers away from the Netherlands Island, and now we can vaguely see ships coming and going in the distance.

Among them are pirate ships, but more are merchant ships.

The old butler explained at the right time: "Not far ahead is the largest port in the Netherlands - Eastport."

"This is a port named after the first king of the Netherlands."

"This port is very prosperous, and less than 30 kilometers away is where the 173rd Navy Branch is stationed."

"Now is the wheat harvest season. In the past, many merchant ships would come to purchase at this time, but now due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, food production has dropped significantly. Food still needs to be supplied to the navy and the world government."

"Ugh!"

At this point, the old housekeeper was also helpless. People in his own country could not get enough food, and he had to give food to others.

Princess Litte was very sad. Although her father wanted to change, the entrenched aristocratic forces would not allow the king to affect their interests.

The old butler went on to introduce: "The island area of ​​the Kingdom of the Netherlands is about 4.5k square kilometers, and the population is about 450 million."

"But these are old data. After the natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past few years, the population is probably only around 350 million."

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands has a flat terrain and is very suitable for farming. Wheat is the main crop, and a large number of fruits and vegetables are also grown."

Xia Jieren was very excited to hear this. No matter which world it is, food is very important.

Especially in chaotic times, having food means having people, and having people can form an army and seek greater power and status.

While the old butler was explaining, reinforcements soon arrived.

Looking at the densely packed flying dragons and scouts of various types in the sky, both Litte and her servant opened their mouths in surprise, which also made Xia Jieren feel extremely satisfied.

Xia Jieren pretended nothing had happened and waved his hand calmly. The group of flying dragons flew higher into the sky, while the scouts fanned out towards the Netherlands Island.

The soldiers and horses are not moved, and the intelligence comes first.

In the heart network, the first thing Xia Jieren saw was a prosperous port.

"This must be Eastport." Xia Jieren thought.

Continuing to fly northeast, what caught his eye were the fields that had been harvested, neat and orderly, and looked very beautiful. If he hadn't seen the farmers' clothes full of holes, Xia Jieren might have thought that the people of this country lived well.

"Oh!" With a sigh, Xia Jieren ordered the reconnaissance eagle to continue flying towards the northwest, where the capital of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was located.

The capital of the Netherlands is roughly located in the center of the Netherlands Island, where there are abundant fresh water resources and flat, open land, which is very suitable for growing crops.

However, according to the old butler, the land near the royal capital has been acquired by the great nobles, and the people living nearby are now tenants of those nobles.

Ten minutes later, the reconnaissance eagle arrived over the royal capital.

Two days had passed since the refugees' rebellion, and the capital was still in a state of great ruin.

Starting from the south gate, you can clearly see ruins or dilapidated houses.

The closer you get to the palace, the better preserved the buildings are.

Looking at the palace, you can vaguely see some dried bloodstains.

To the north of the royal palace were a number of luxurious aristocratic mansions that were hardly affected by the refugee rebellion.

At this time, smaller scout birds secretly flew into the palace and spread scout spores in every corner of the palace.

A minute later, except for some closed rooms, the entire palace was under the Zerg's surveillance range.

It was morning at this time.

The newly installed Raghu kings were gathering in a meeting in the palace.

Judging from their smiling faces, it was obvious that they didn't care much about the change of king.

Yes, greedy nobles have no loyalty at all, and only interests are the eternal truth.

The meeting was quite boring.

The nobles spoke in a very literary manner, and at least nine out of ten sentences were nonsense, while the remaining sentence was a euphemism to express their own interests.

After two hours of hesitation, the greedy faces of the nobles were clearly revealed.

Without the restraint of Netherlands IV, they now openly divided up the various interests of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, wishing to squeeze the blood out of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

King Rag saw this and did not stop it. Instead, he began to make big promises to win over some nobles.

I don’t feel sorry for my son!

Finally, King Rag and the nobles finally reached a consensus. Even though a few minor nobles were reluctant, they could not change the general trend.

To summarize their meeting today: divide up the ownership of the remaining land in the country, place their own people in the army or government offices, demarcate their respective spheres of influence, promise non-aggression, and pass on the shortage of heavenly gold to the civilians.

This morning was really an eye-opener for Xia Jieren.

"I am so ignorant."

He had a look on his face that said he had learned something.

After the show, Rag Stone returned to the lounge and yelled, "Damn you guys, what a bunch of greedy bastards."

"You didn't do anything, but you want to share such a huge profit."

The female servants around were trembling and curled up, as if saying, "Can't see me, can't see me."

There is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps in the palace.

In addition, there are three or four strong people whose auras are obviously different from ordinary people.
