I Will Be The Crowned King

Remember [New] for a second,! Whether the conscience of the Faithless Knights will be condemned, Anson does not know, but the slave traders of the New World will soon be educated on a physical level.

Just the day after Ian and the three of them "returned", the "Beautiful People of Beluga", which received the "highest instruction", published a headline on the front page.

The resolution from the Storm Legion stated that although the Commander-in-Chief opposed the enslavement of the natives, the Legion would still support and maintain the normal beast slave trade.

Not only that, in order to ensure the safety and smoothness of the trade, the legion will also participate in the Beluga Harbor Council to build a "more formal" animal slave market. At the same time, all the animal slave traders who enter the Ice Dragon Fjord can also send to the colony. The regiment applied for **** along the way.

Such an obvious compromise made the Beluga port councillors and representatives of the various colonies feel uneasy for several days, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, although the commander-in-chief has a very high authority in the legion, he still cannot go against the interests of the army (or officers) - in the short term, Ansen Bach should not be able to use the army to deter them from giving up the slave trade.

So the slave traders who got the news started to come to Beluga Port one after another while celebrating each other. At the same time, they started to bribe Anson's "loyal" officers with organized and large-scale bribes with the help of various networks and channels.

Receptions, dinner parties, family gatherings, private clubs... All kinds of social occasions doubled at the Beluga Harbor at the end of the new year, and the frequency was also frightening; up to the deputy commander Fabian, down to the military doctor Hank, almost every day All enjoy free drinks and a hearty meal.

The wish of the attentive wealthy businessmen and parliamentarians is also very simple: to further relax the control of the animal slave trade in Beluga Port, it would be better if they could collect less or no tax at all.

In the face of such a brazen and reasonable request, the officers who received the order in advance naturally agreed, and then said that they could help, but the slave traders also needed to show some sincerity.

As for what is sincerity, the beast slave traders have never been to school, and all received social re-education. Knowledge is linked to life experience. Naturally, there are various kinds of sadness, but the conclusions they have come to are surprisingly consistent:

That is, the money is given less, and the method is also problematic.

They don't know the army, let alone the Clovis army in front of them. In their eyes, the biggest difference between the army and the mercenary group is probably the number of people, and the core purpose is to make money - of course, this is completely on the Storm Legion. correct.

But the army is different from the mercenary group after all. The officers are all people with status. Violent bribery is too tasteless, and it is unreasonable.

So in the next ten days, the merchants, mercenary groups and even adventurers who gathered in the Ice Dragon Fjord generation, engaged in the trade of beast slaves, began to take the initiative to ask the Storm Legion to provide protection, and after the end, they received a copy of " A small gift that is not respectful", as a thank you to the officers and soldiers for their hard work.

The merchants and mercenaries who successfully bribed were very happy, and the officers and soldiers who received gifts were even happier—not only earned extra money, but also completed the task by the way, and thoroughly understood the industrial chain of the animal slave trade around the Ice Dragon Fjord.

As a high-risk, high-return business with high profits and quick returns, the structure of the animal slave trade is very simple: mercenary groups and adventurers go deep into the wilderness, and capture the lonely indigenous people through kidnapping, ambush and other methods. A little mercenary group will join the disputes between small colonies and indigenous tribes, and even deliberately provoke conflicts between the two, capturing groups of indigenous people at one time.

Those who are successfully captured will quickly sell them in the nearest large colony. The merchants buy them at different prices according to their age, gender, and health. After a simple training, they will be sold to the next family, and then the next family and the next family's next family...until the real desire appears. Customers who buy animal slaves are responsible for the bottom line.

All in all, because the profits are too great, there are also many middlemen of all sizes from retail to wholesale.

So the next thing is simple - the best way to reduce the price of a product is to not let the middleman make the difference.

After the "Beautiful People of Beluga" published the headline of the Storm Legion's compromise, a few days later, Reinhard Roland, the president of the New World Corporation, formally convened the Beluga Harbor Council to establish "the largest and most formalized system in the new world." Beast Slave Market".

At the meeting, Reinhard, like Anson at the New Year's party, gave a generous speech to the parliamentarians, vigorously publicized the importance of the animal slave trade to Beluga Harbor and even Ice Dragon Fjord, and constantly emphasized how much this would bring. Extensive trade impact, and the historical significance behind it.

"... Beluga Port is one of the most important ports in the New World, but its reputation is less than half of Sail City, why?!"

"Besides the historical factors, the most important thing is the strength of Yangfan City, which has resulted in the rise of countless new colonies, but the prosperity of Beluga Port has made no contribution to the entire new world!"

"The rising Beluga Port must make contributions that meet its own standards in order to gain more influence and respect."

"Sail City gave birth to a new world, and Beluga Port will bring order to it - the pursuit of freedom and equality, and the promotion of business prosperity... In the chaos, we have an unshirkable obligation to set standards for everyone, Define boundaries."

"And all this will start from rectifying the chaotic beast slave trade!"

Amidst the thunderous applause, the elated Reinhard's expression was extremely serious, as if at this moment he was the embodiment of order, the arbitration of everything.

While he was "rectifying the market" on his side, the corps of officers who had mastered the industrial chain began to establish contact with the mercenary group that captured beast slaves, and began to try to kick out some middlemen who simply earned the difference.

Of course, this is only Anson's initial action. His ultimate goal is to completely eradicate even these mercenary groups and replace them with the Shooting Army and the New World Company behind them, so as to establish a more stable connection with those indigenous tribes.

After more than two hundred years of colonization, some indigenous tribes have begun to appear who are willing to remain neutral and conduct a small amount of trade with the colonies... After all, the salt, sugar, alcoholic beverages, various metal products and gunpowder weapons of the old world are not for them. Unattractive.

The ultimate goal of Anson's plan is to gradually weaken the animal slave trade, and establish links with these indigenous tribes through the New World Company, while providing simple labor and soldiers, while providing production materials and various manufactured products.

In this way, in addition to a broader workforce supplement, the New World Company can also have an army with mercenary officers as the core and indigenous warriors as the main body.

Due to the obvious identity difference, this army must have no feelings for the colony, and after coming into contact with a new life, it will gradually become estranged from its original origin... In the end, it can only be loyal to the New World Company, which is the only way out.

Regardless of the financial resources, the combat power of the army, or the real estate it owns, the size of the New World Corporation will far exceed the resources that any colony can use, let alone the Free Confederation, a professional household with many infighting who can suppress it.

Controlling such a behemoth, even if the Rune family is not the leader or ruler of any colony, they can rule the entire New World from behind.

At this point, the "grand blueprint" that Anson blew out at Lund Manor has basically been successfully realized.

As long as there are those who are willing to cooperate, there must be resistance. As a group that has been optimized in the New World Company's optimization of the animal slave trade industry, the middlemen who have lost their supply channels have a feeling of being deceived.

Although Ansen did not give these people a way out and encouraged them to leave the Ice Dragon Fjord and expand new channels to other colonies with the support of the New World Company; it was just a "way out" to leave the familiar track and introvert with other colleagues, It's really hard for them to accept.

The furious beast slave traders tried to resist, but they soon discovered that the wealthy businessmen and parliamentarians who had been "united front" with them not only did not support it, but even persuaded themselves to recognize the reality and not do "meaningless things".

They didn't realize that without their middlemen, the wealthy businessmen who cooperated with the New World Company could buy the animal slaves they wanted at a cheaper price, and Beluga Port used to be mainly engaged in export trade. The big buyer is actually the railway committee of the Kingdom of Clovis... The local demand is not very large.

There is money to be made, and there is no need to worry that the beast slaves will really be free immediately and be on an equal footing with themselves. Why are they courting death and opposing the Rune family and the Storm Legion?

At the same time, the beast slave traders who were abandoned by their customers and suppliers were desperate. Some silently accepted the conditions offered by the New World Company, while others still tried to resist and stop Reinhard's "beast slave market" plan.

At this point, An Sen finally had a reason to clean up them - of course it's not illegal to sell animal slaves, but "destroying the business order" is a big crime!

In the face of the Storm Legion that had completely controlled the entire Ice Dragon Fjord, the slave traders who were abandoned by everyone could not even get out of Beluga Harbor, and they were called brothers by the officers who pushed them for a cup change more than ten days ago. They were arrested and jailed.

Reinhard Roland, who had cleared the last obstacle and used these die-hard rebels to sacrifice flags, could finally start to implement his market plan in a drastic manner.

As for those middlemen who accepted the conditions of the New World Company and went to other colonies to open up markets, their life was equally difficult.

Only a few days later than the action in Beluga Harbor, the newspapers in the colonies of the Free Confederation received orders from the headquarters of the "Beautiful People of Beluga Harbor" to start promoting the content that the indigenous people should be treated equally.

However, although the newspapers faithfully obeyed the orders, the power of slave traders in the colonies was far greater than that of Ice Dragon Fjord... Except for Grey Pigeon Castle and Sail City, the branch newspapers in the other colonies were basically resisted to varying degrees.

But even in the midst of the tide of scolding, there was still a force that came forward and expressed their support decisively.

That is the Faithful Alliance that has just emerged in various places.

As a religious group with the nature of a low-level mutual aid society, and the core of the belief is still the universal religion, jihad and missionary are "absolutely correct" for the Faithful Alliance; even if you don't feel that drinking the indigenous people is equal in your heart, Since someone proposed to preach to the infidels, they all had to support it.

Among them, Bishop Ruibo, who has been trying to work hard in this area... After hearing about Anson's speech, to convert the indigenous people into believers of the Ring of Order, this ecumenical fanatic immediately burst into tears and went to the meeting in person. Street organized the Faithful Alliance to boycott the animal slave trade in various colonies.

The beast slave traders, who didn't take this seriously, soon discovered that for some reason, these mad believers could always find the place where they imprisoned the beast slaves very smoothly. Indigenous peoples who had just been captured were released in large groups and then evacuated before guards and colonial vigilantes arrived.

In addition to tipping off the Trustworthy Alliance, Ian and the three who finally started to act took the budget given by the New World Company to bribe local adventurers to attack the caravan that transported beast slaves, and at the same time bribe the mercenary group that escorted the caravan. , allowing them to deliberately let go of the adventurers who "attacked" them.

Therefore, the adventurers have almost no risk when they get the money, and the extra money earned by the mercenary group does not affect their reputation. However, the risks brought by frequent attacks and the delay in trade have caused heavy losses to the slave traders.

After losing money again and again to do business, someone is finally ready to take risks, planning to attack the newspaper and the Trustee Alliance at the same time.

Then the brave animal slave trader never woke up from his sleep again the next day.

There are no wounds, no signs of poisoning, and no one has heard even the slightest movement. Everything seems to be no different from natural death-except for the ring of order drawn on the chest~www.readwn.com~ and a copy of Confession letter stuck to face.

Soon, similar situations began to break out in various colonies, and even the content of the confession was basically the same - a confession of one's sins, and then an expression of remorse for wrongdoing, and the joy of awakening.

Such a sensational news immediately aroused a reaction from the Faithful Alliance. At a public gathering of believers, Bishop Ruibo announced in public that these people had been forgiven by the Ring of Order, and their thoroughly purified souls had also successfully ascended to the kingdom of heaven.

At the same time, he also warned those slave traders who were still "knowing their mistakes and not changing their minds". If they continued to persist, the next time the Ring of Order punished them, they would probably not be given a chance to repent.

As for the released indigenous people... With the cooperation of the trustee, the newspaper agency and the mercenary group bought by the New World Company, a considerable part left directly, and the remaining part chose to go to Beluga Harbor, ready to join the shooting army, and the other part went Grey Pigeon Castle.

There, they could have full equal rights with ordinary immigrants, or cultivate land, or join a farm, or get a subsistence job in a factory.

So far, the animal slave trade of the entire Free Confederation has entered an extremely chaotic state, and the New World Company, which has just obtained the opportunity to enter various colonies, has officially begun to implement its "New Order".
