"...I believe that those who are willing to stay are those who still have expectations for the future of Aida, those who are all those who have higher pursuits in their lives, and those who have higher pursuits in addition to enjoyment, and those who still have ideals in their hearts."
In the hall of the Prince's Palace of Dragon Nest, Soshiyang stood on the platform. The hall was full of people, pirate barons and captains in strange costumes and armor.
After this chaos, there were less than a thousand captains left here. In the past, the Void Dragon Pirate Group was called three thousand captains and one hundred thousand pirates. Now the total number is less than 30,000. Although this is still a huge number, it can be said to be a fall compared to the past.
Some people died in civil strife, some left the pirate group and left alone, either returned to their former hometown, or looked for new opportunities. The last part was absorbed by the evil plunderers pirate group, and the pirate group even boldly approached the battlefield and observed the large-scale naval battle between the royal court and Comoros at a close distance.
When he learned that the famous pirate prince Yirel had quietly arrived on the battlefield and received many pirates who had escaped from the Void Dragon, Soshyan immediately became interested in him.
But this man was obviously as arrogant as the rumored, ignored Soshiyan's request and swaggered to attack the conspiracy group that fled the battlefield.
At that time, Jiurio Pulaxingshuai sent a message to Soshiyang, hoping to teach this arrogant guy who dared to pick peaches under the nose of the royal court, but Soshiyang refused.
Yiriel did not intervene in this dispute, and the pirates who had separated Soshiyang also said that they would go. At least the two sides did not have any hostile attitudes yet. After hearing the past rumors about Yiriel, Soshiyang still had a sense of love for talent. It is understandable that young people are a little rebellious and can be changed the day after tomorrow, but talent is something, there is, and there is nothing.
Of course, it is not worth his work to gather people's hearts, but considering that Salania has never encountered such a situation, Soshiyan finally came forward to give an inspiring speech.
Salania stood on his right hand, looking very serious with her hands on her back.
"The man Gu is not good at drawing cakes, and he says a lot of things directly. What I can tell you is that the national policy of the royal court, or the core purpose, is to solve the eternal threat and save the goddess of life trapped in the Nurgle realm. To complete these two major things, it is not possible to rely on the power of the lonely person. It requires all Ada to work together. You must know what happened in the Dragon Nest. There is an old saying that there is no end to the eggs when the nest is destroyed. As long as the threat is still hanging above your head, whether it is escaping or ignoring, it is meaningless. Only by facing the threat and solving the threat is the way to survive."
As he said that, he looked at Salanya on his right hand.
"Of course, you are relieved that the royal court does not want to annex the Void Dragon Pirates. In the future, Ms. Salania will still be your leader. If you are still willing to continue serving and sailing in the Void, it is just that the Void Dragon Pirates will restore its past identity. The ancient Koso fleet and the formal armed forces of the ancient empire will also obtain the status of the royal court citizen and enjoy complete citizenship. Of course, you must also accept the royal court's laws. Its measurement is generally close to the most relaxed Samhan Ark, which will not make everyone feel particularly suffocated. It is just for the sake of future diplomatic environment, the royal court does not allow armed robbery of non-enemy targets."
At this moment, suddenly, a pirate baron with one-eyed eyes and black animal fur on his shoulders raised his hand and Soshiyang nodded slightly.
"Please say it."
"Your Highness, please forgive me for your rudeness, but I think this question must have bothered many captains. What kind of existence do you... do you?"
After a few seconds of silence, Soshiyang replied slowly:
"I have many identities. I cannot deny this point. It can even be said that it is unreal. But Gu can answer you. Gu's ancestors do have Ada bloodline, and Gu's family history can even be traced back to before the Great Death, but due to the long time, many history has been destroyed. However, there is another thing that can be confirmed, that Gu has the power of Asuyan, and the Phoenix Imperial Guards are proof."
At this time, another pirate raised his hand, and Soshiyan also allowed him to ask questions.
"Your Highness, do some people say that you have seen you transform into the God of Blood Hand?"
"This is related to a magical artifact that Gu obtained. It was an ancient Kane Temple. It allowed me to use Kane's violent power for a short time, but this power is very dangerous. Gune will not use it unless he had to."
Then, a third person asked a question that was generally difficult to answer.
"Your Highness, what do you plan to do if a war breaks out between the royal court and the human empire?"
However, over the years, Soshiyan has been asked about this more than once, and he has already made a very mature speech.
"I will try to avoid this. If I really can't avoid it, I will do my best to minimize the damage."
Although his answer was not agreed with everyone, at least it responded. In the Ada society where arrogance and riddle culture is popular, the explanation itself is a very kind gesture.
"...I also considered that some captains may not be able to get used to relatively fixed lives, so I decided to set up a shadow dragon secondary fleet, which belongs to the Koso fleet, whose main tasks are frequent and dangerous actions such as patrol, reconnaissance, and exploration. If the captain who is determined to continue his adventure career can join this fleet."
After Soshiyang's speech, the hearts of people who were constantly floating due to the turmoil finally gradually stabilized. Then he briefly counted the existing ships of the Void Dragon Pirates.
In addition to the Void Chaser, Koso, there are two other ships, called the Endless Winter and the Blood Net. They both belong to Salania's relatives who launched the rebellion. These people were basically dead, and those who were not dead fled to Comoros. Therefore, both ships now belong to Salania. You should know that ordinary pirate groups have a Void Chaser, which is extremely powerful. Like the Steel Eye Raiders before, the largest warship was a dragon ship, and it was also the Canelli flagship. Now this ship still belongs to her.
In addition, there are 11 Star Eclipse Class, 20 Shadow Class, 41 Aurora Class, 52 Hemlock Class, 47 Aconite Class, plus other small pirate ships that are not formed, with a total of 917 ships, which is less than Soshiyang's estimated actual number. When he saw those pirate ships, Soshiyang realized why the Void Dragon Pirates had so many ships.
