Chapter 2746 Pirates also have hard power
"The pirates do have this problem... Soshiyan, but you also consider one thing, which is how to prevent them from joining Comoros, or Victor's side... If a war really starts in the future, Victor will definitely hire various pirate groups at all costs, such as the Void Dragon Pirates. They have more than 3,500 warships (the ships of the Spirit Pirates are small), but they have always only valued interests. Once they join Victor, it will be an extremely difficult force, and the Sky Raiders Pirates, this pirate group... All their leaders, Prince Lesseris, were slaughtered by space wolves, so he hated the Empire and Astart. Once Victor told him your identity, the pirate group would definitely choose to join Comoros."
Soshyan frowned slightly. He had never learned about the power of various pirates in detail before. He always thought that it was a trivial thing like human pirates. Doral had no intention of reading many reports.
"A pirate group...how can there be thousands of warships?"
"Well, the origin of the Void Dragon Pirates has always been a mystery. They were born for a long time, probably more than seven thousand years. The mentor seems to know something but has not said it to the public. However, he once lamented that 'The Void Dragon Pirates' originated from a tragedy', so I guess the predecessor of this pirates was a destructive ark world or a large ark. Perhaps when the destruction, the residents had enough time to drive most ships out, and then slowly absorbed the wanderers and fleets of other arks, so that they had the current scale."
"But such a powerful force...Madam, do you think the royal court can eat it? It is even larger than the royal court fleet. It will definitely cost a high price to win over them."
Veronica suddenly made a mysterious gesture to Soshiyang. Soshiyang then lowered her head, and the other party could hear it:
"Now the leader of the Void Dragon and Phoenix Pirates is Princess Salania. She has just taken over the position of her late father, Prince Canceto, for less than thirty years. There must be many challengers within the Pirates, especially those in the family. I heard that she has several uncles and aunts, who are all high-powered admirals in the middle of the Pirates, and they are quite close to Comoros. Princess Salania only gets the support of her father's old man, but not everyone. After all, her power comes from bloodline rather than merit and strength. At this time, she may also need a strong force who will not take away her power to help her consolidate her position. We can coax her first and draw a big picture for her.
Take a reassurance, and then "help" her to get rid of several more thorny challengers close to Comoros. You must take a more ruthless move. It is best to kill more people and expand the scale of the struggle. This will give the admirals of the pirates an illusion that Princess Salania has completely surrendered to the royal court, forcing the captains who are biased towards Comoros to rebel or escape. At that time, the royal court's fleet appears again and eliminates those people one by one, which can confirm the fact that Princess Salania uses the royal court's sword to kill herself. Except for a very few loyal people, everyone else in the pirates will be disloyal to her. Then you come forward to win people's hearts. Isn't this just picking up a powerful fleet for nothing?"
After hearing this, Soshiyang was stunned at first, then hesitated:
“Will this be..."
"Oh, I'm not so restricted, what are you worried about? Even if we don't plan, do you think Victor hasn't acted? Maybe he's planning for a long time, otherwise how could there be so many senior officials in the Void Dragon Pirate Group who are biased towards Comoros? I even heard that there are many conspiracy groups, warriors, witch spirits and nightmares inside the Void Dragon. How could a little girl in Salanya control the largest pirate group in Ada? In the end, if she was either assassinated or exiled, we were saving her."
"Yes, instead of leaving it to your opponent, it's better to hold it in your own hands. I'll discuss with Doral later... Then besides this Void Dragon, Madam, what other pirate group do you think is worthy of recruitment?"
Veronica stretched out her fingers and counted them one by one. Obviously, she had put a lot of effort into this.
"The evil raiders, steel-eyed raiders, starkillers, and Rising Brotherhood... probably only these four, but Rising Brotherhood needs to work a little bit, because they have old grudges with the Void Dragon, and the relationship between the two sides is tense and conflicts. There is even a saying that Rising Brotherhood escaped from the Void Dragon. Logically speaking, this pirate group is actually the best to win over, because they have good relationships with Aletok, Ragnaish, and Mimela Ark Worlds. When Ragnaish was attacked by the Slaanes War Gang, they joined the war to save the situation. The two sides had a deep connection, so that Ragnaish sent representatives to lobby them for a high probability of being willing to accept the revenge of the Royal Court, but if the Royal Court also wanted to swallow the Void Dragon, they had to grasp the balance between the two."
"Wait, that evil robber, if I remember correctly, was it organized by the pirate prince Eriel?"
"Yes, so it's hard to recruit them."
Prince Iriel is well-known among Ada. Even Soshiyan has heard of this person from the Ark World. His most well-known identity is that he is the most prominent family of the ancient Ada Empire, the only direct descendant of the legendary hero and the first Phoenix King Ada Naish.
If you insist on bloodline and legal principles, he is in principle the one who is most qualified to be the Phoenix King among all Adas. However, Eriel's noble bloodline comes from his mother, and his father has always been a mystery. Therefore, there are many dark speculations in the market, especially his mother. The noble Princess Ada Naish seemed to be wandering to Comoros for a period of time...
Fang Ark Iyanden also claimed that he was the successor of Asuyan Fire, so he had no contact with the royal court. In a sense, there was a competition for the orthodoxy of the Ada racial. If Prince Iriel could join the royal court, it would be a very political success.
But as Veronica said, it's hard.
Even Soshiyan knew that Yiriel was an extremely arrogant existence, which by Aida's standards, may be derived from his noble bloodline, but it may also be from inferiority deep in his heart. Such a person is difficult to live under others.
Including Iriel left his hometown because of his extreme arrogance. In the Battle of Burning Moon, Iriel, as the commander of the fleet, was busy chasing his prey and completely ignored the protection of the Ark World, resulting in Iriel being hit by a whirlpool torpedo, causing huge casualties and injuries. Iriel was deprived of his military rank for guilt. After being tried by the Prophet Parliament, the unbearable Iriel swore to leave Iriel and never come back.
