King Snake General of Pirates

the next day.

In the Royal City of the Noble District at the junction of the Eastern Military District and the Northern Military District of the Kingdom of Androser.

After Valentin rushed to the residence of Minister of Justice Mansgold, he was led by his servants to see the leisurely Mansgold in the living room, and received his grand welcome and preferential treatment.

Valentine, who originally hated nobles, was happy to be treated so favorably by his friend who was also a noble, but he didn't know if Hal's words put too much pressure on him, which led Valentine to tell Mansco in a hurry. After hearing the whole story about Ed, he anxiously urged him to go to the king's palace and ask for permission to carry out the navy's execution.

The gray-haired Mansgold, who was nearly [-] years old, realized the seriousness of the problem after hearing the ins and outs of the matter. He was worried about the safety of the people and officials in the kingdom, so he rushed to the palace as fast as possible. I saw King Andrag in the side hall.

Andrage is a middle-aged man who has gained serious weight. He has two delicate mustaches hanging on his lips. He looks fat, but because he lives in the best environment and uses the best resources, he does not make people feel greasy. .

When Mansgold arrived, he was lying on a bench and resting. For an old minister who had been responsible for the laws of the kingdom with all his heart for many years, Andrag did not become unhappy because his rest was interrupted. He was so happy that he stood up and asked the panting Mansgold to sit next to him. He listened with great attention to what the other party said in retelling what Valentine said.

He understands the veteran's personality, and if he doesn't encounter something that he doesn't pay enough attention to and cannot make the decision, the other party will never bother him during his rest time.

Not long after, Andrag, who listened carefully to the whole story, was quite surprised: "Even the bravest major of the 53rd Navy branch base did not stop the pirates from breaking into the kingdom. These lawless pirates are so powerful."

He said with a look of embarrassment: "But it is against the rules to allow the navy to enter the kingdom to carry out operations. What about our combat troops? Let them arrest them. What do you think?"

In order to attract Mansgold's attention and to make King Andrag realize the seriousness of the problem, Valentin told the story of Hal's carelessness in letting the pirates enter the city. Hal did not stop the pirates.

The former is careless, and the conclusion is that the pirates may not be very powerful, so anyone can catch them.

The latter is much more serious. "Failed to stop" has many meanings, but the final conclusion is that these pirates who entered the city are very powerful. If they are not handled properly, they will definitely cause big trouble.

The same thing, as long as it is said in another way, the meaning is completely different.

However, King Andrage, who had been on the throne for a long time and was used to being comfortable, didn't seem to realize this problem. Instead, he just wanted to use a combat army to solve it, which made Mansgold a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, those who broke into the city were a group of extremely vicious and powerful pirates. Although our combat army is large in number and strong enough, they have little experience in fighting pirates. If those cunning pirates are hiding in In a certain corner of the city, no matter how many troops we send out, we may not be able to find their traces."

He didn't wait for Andrag's response and said quickly:

"The navy is the natural enemy of pirates. They have more experience in fighting the enemy. If the navy is used to arrest them, they will be able to capture all the pirates in the shortest time. Then the people in the city can live safely. For the sake of the subjects You must think twice! Your Majesty!!"

Mansgold's tone was earnest and impatient.

His eager analysis and suggestions made Andrag think deeply, obviously in a dilemma.

Just when he was hesitating, a female official walked in from outside the door, bowed respectfully and said to Andrag: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of the Interior, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and other ministers are here to see you."

Mansgold's expression changed, and when he was about to urge Andrag to make a decision, he saw that the other party had already asked the female officer to invite the ministers in with a smile on his face.

At this point, Mansgold realized that something was wrong and felt a little panicked.

In the entire royal city, except perhaps for those who care about the people at the bottom, other nobles and ministers adhere to the principle that as long as it does not affect their own interests, it does not matter if those who are struggling to live at the bottom die. .

At this time, so many ministers came at the same time. It was definitely not an accident. They must have heard the news.

"Ugh."

The nearly seventy-year-old minister secretly sighed, knowing that he could no longer reverse the situation alone. These nobles and ministers would definitely try their best to stop this matter. After all, these people with evil intentions have done many unknown scandals in the city. , fearing being shaken out during naval operations or damaging interests.

In the past, as long as there were no major problems, I could turn a blind eye. After all, I was a minister serving the same country and could not suffer internal conflicts.

But now if these people have reached the point of disregarding the life and death of all ordinary people, putting the kingdom's officials, big and small, in danger, and going crazy, then the broad sword of the kingdom's law will have to be used.

This kind old minister is still giving them a chance.

After a while, a group of ministers came in from outside the door.

The three people at the front were Finance Minister Federswein, Interior Minister Ovastalan, and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Luton in civilian clothes.

The three of them looked respectful from the moment they entered the door. However, when they passed by Mansgold, they glanced at him coldly and seemed to be absent. Then they quickly came to King Andrag and saluted.

Before they could speak, King Andrage spoke first: "You are here just in time. Mansfield has just reported something. I am having trouble making a decision. Please listen and give me some suggestions."

Several ministers respectfully said yes, and among them, the cunning Minister of the Interior, Ovastarang, looked very surprised, as if he didn't know in advance that something else would cause the king a headache.

So King Andrage asked Mansgold to tell the whole story again. Mansgold still had the idea that these ministers would care about the common people and other officials, so he told it in as much detail as possible. , and even explained the stakes clearly, and did not stop until he thought that all the ministers in front of him understood it.

After listening, all the ministers fell silent. Standing at the front was the cunning Interior Minister Ovastalang, who frowned deeply and looked very ugly. His expression was similar to Andrage's expression when he was in a dilemma before, as if he was also thinking about it. Andrage thought hard about whether there was a way to have both.

The Finance Minister Federswein standing on his left looked much better, but he kept making soft noises in his mouth, as if he felt that this was wrong and that was inappropriate.

These two noble-born ministers were showing off their acting skills crazily in front of King Andrage and other ministers in this side hall. I have to say that their acting skills were indeed good. Andrage was obviously because of their "brain racking" "And showed admiration.

But in the eyes of Mansgold, who was familiar with the nature of these people, their acting skills seemed too exaggerated.
