King Snake General of Pirates

From this day on, Hal went out into the Western Military Region during the day to lead naval soldiers to eliminate criminal forces, and together with Matthew, he secretly took complete control of the entire Western Military Region.

In the evening, he returned to the naval base and began to check Anan's practice and develop his abilities with him.

The naval base is not close to the inner city of the Western Military Region. Fortunately, Hal eats the fruit of the phantom beast species and has excellent physical fitness. He can hold on while running back and forth, and he can also practice cultivation on the way.

In this way, another seven days passed.

In the past seven days, in addition to taking Anan to practice, Hal also went to find Matthew. He originally planned to ask about the operations of the Southern Military Region, but he heard him say a troublesome thing.

Since all the profiteers who colluded with him were eliminated by Bunit, the commander of the Western Military Region, Renaf, had been thinking about nothing all day long. Finally, he suddenly came up with the idea of ​​​​the huge market that Matthew was still building.

One is a soldier and the other is a bandit. On the surface, the bandits cannot fight the soldiers.

Due to helplessness, Matthew could only take Freebart to meet with Renaff. Unexpectedly, after the meeting, Renaff insisted on participating in the management of Fangshi and planned to divide the future revenue of Fangshi. In response, Ma Xiu Xio naturally refused with a stronger attitude.

Although the purpose of his market is to make a profit, part of the purpose is to promote the economic development of the Western Military Region and give the poor people here a chance to work and support themselves. The revenue will inevitably be ugly.

If Renaff joins, judging from the tough attitude shown by the other party before they get involved, it is inevitable that they will frequently interfere in various decisions of their own, which will naturally have a very bad impact.

But as the commander of the Western Military Region, Renaff had taken a tough stance and was determined to get involved. Therefore, after being mercilessly rejected by Matthew, he actually threatened to let Matthew's The city cannot be completed.

Bandits cannot fight with soldiers.

Moreover, in such a large city, if we really fight, even if we win, it will be a lose-lose situation.

In the dilemma, Matthew took the initiative to ask Hal to take action for the first time.

Hal was naturally obligated to do this, and immediately led the navy soldiers to wander around the city frequently. The security soldiers who had come to cause trouble did not dare to cause trouble when they saw Hal and the navy.

Matthew even took this opportunity to thoughtfully bring hot soup and other warm-up food and clothing to the navy soldiers who insisted on patrolling in cold weather to win their hearts and get closer to them.

When some of the soldiers recognized that the owner of this market was actually the owner of a tavern they often visited near the base, the good relationship progressed even faster.

Then Matthew cried vividly to them about his difficulties. After hearing this, the navy soldiers were all filled with indignation and immediately promised to protect this place from criminals until it was completed, and would visit frequently in the future.

As soon as these words came out, not only did the workers in the city who were frightened by the frequent appearance of security forces and criminals cheer up, but they also made Reinulf dare not make trouble here.

After all, Hal also passed by here from time to time, and he would not think that the naval lieutenant commander who dared to fight the regular combat troops of the Southern Military Region would not dare to do anything to him.

Therefore, the matter ended with Renulf's retreat.

Under the persuasion of his butler, Renaff finally gave up the fight for Matthew Square and retreated to his own manor.

……

The weather was getting colder day by day, until early morning seven days later, when Hal opened the door, he found that a layer of frost had condensed on the wet ground outside the house, and the biting cold wind blew from all directions and penetrated into his clothes.

Hal's physical fitness was strong and his feelings were not that deep. However, Anan, who also got up early and planned to continue practicing, was shivering from the cold, his teeth chattered, and his speech became difficult.

"Major, good morning. Good morning."

Anan walked towards Hal. His skinny body made him less able to withstand the cold than others, and his cheeks were red from the cold.

He kept stamping his feet and shivering, relying on this slight movement to warm his body up a little.

"It's getting colder and colder. It seems that it will snow soon." Hal looked up at the sky in the distance and murmured to himself.

The sky was gloomy, like ink that could not be melted away, and the feeling of depression was suffocating and hopeless.

In such a cold season, even wearing warm clothes makes people shiver from the cold. The poor people in the Western Military Region who still live in leaky shacks or even sleep on the streets without thick coats to resist the cold may not be able to survive the cold.

It is conceivable that after the upcoming snowstorm passes, the streets and houses will be filled with frozen corpses.

He wanted to save these people, but he was powerless.

If a quarter of a country is abandoned and the life and death of the people are ignored, then no individual or even an organization can change the situation. Only the king of the country can change it.

A royal order is better than all the efforts of an individual or an organization.

Just like now, Matthew devoted all his efforts to help the Western Military Region, but it only improved a small part. Even if he watched the poor freeze to death on the streets, it was helpless.

"That's right, Major. Fortunately, fortunately, you had the foresight to let them... Ah Sneeze, let the soldiers rush back before the temperature cooled down." Anan shivered and sneezed.

Hal looked at Anan's freezing look and said with a wry smile: "You'd better go and get more nutrition and make your body stronger. Otherwise, over-cultivation for such a thin body will be counterproductive."

Anan smiled nonchalantly: "No, it's nothing."

"Are Feng still sleeping? Let her get up and eat something."

"No, Feng doesn't need to practice anyway, let her sleep a little longer." Anan tightened her tight clothes, breathed hard and rubbed her hands to make them warmer.

Hal laughed and said: "She is quite caring about people, so take good care of her. I may have to be away for a long time recently, so don't let your own practice fall behind."

Just as he turned around, he suddenly turned back and warned: "Don't practice recklessly, but pay attention to propriety."

"Well, I see!"

……

After leaving the naval base, Hal went straight to the third floor of Matthew's tavern.

Counting the time, the list of personnel in the Southern Military Region compiled by Silena is almost over.

When he arrived at the third-floor tavern, he did not see Matthew and Freebat. Only Silena was sitting by the brazier sorting a stack of documents.

Seeing Hal coming, Silena quickly stood up and said, "You're here. I was just about to say that I would send you the information today."

As he spoke, he handed over the documents he had sorted out.

"Balk has many people under his command, I hope it won't embarrass you." Xi Lian smiled.

Hal took the document and flipped through it in confusion, and was immediately surprised. Good guy, this is not a lot, it is simply a lot.

The names are arranged neatly from top to bottom, followed by their personal information, business content, and areas of frequent activities and hobbies. After just a cursory scan, it seems that there are more than 500 people.

"Are you sure you want me to bring this pile of stuff?" Hal asked in confusion, "Just looking at these will probably waste a lot of my time."

Although he had already experienced her intelligence gathering ability, Hal was still shocked when he saw so many names.

This workload is a bit excessive.
