"Jessie!"

Olan stretched out his hand and stood in front of the sinking man: "Let him finish his words first."

Zero looked at Jesse and shook his head and said, "What I'm doing is just assumptions. We also have a rumor that Sauron is by no means a good ally, so we take Ista. Coincidentally, I saved Franklin, who was floating on the sea at that time, and now my vice captain.

"So, Captain Zero has seen Ista. Are you disappointed?" Oran showed a self-deprecating smile: "Now we are in a hurry to escape from this place like a homeless dog."

"It's not disappointing. I can only say it's an accident. I don't know what you two plan to do in the future?"

Oramer replied, and Jesse grabbed the words and said, "Of course, it is to avenge Sauron. As long as comrades from all over the mainland know that Lord Ulsen died in a fierce battle, then everyone can definitely share the enemy and capture the city of New Rome in one go!"

"Is that so?"

Zero nodded: "I know. I wish you all the best." Then he looked at Franklin and said, "Let's go. I've said goodbye to Ulson. You shouldn't have any regrets."

Franklin was slightly surprised, and Oran was also surprised by the sudden change in his attitude. He said, "Captain Zero, I thought we could cooperate."

"Cooperation?" Ling smiled faintly and said, "Yes, that's what I thought before. Presumably Lord Oran can also see that we have someone. It's not ordinary people, but real strong people, which is exactly what your Ista lack. You also have people and a large number of soldiers, which is what we need. After all, it is impossible for a high-level to complete everything, so we can take what we need and cooperate strategically and other forms.

"It's just a pity that I won't let my team cooperate with an army ready to commit suicide. I can say another form of businessman, who will not make unreturned investments.

"Bulls!" Jesse said angrily, "Who is going to commit suicide? Have you figured out the situation?"

Zero hummed and said, "It's you who don't know the situation!" Yes, it's not yet time for Ista to have no resistance. But now the main base has been destroyed and the leader has been killed. Once the news spreads, have you ever thought about what the consequences would be? The same enemy? That's just your one-minded idea. Believe me, when this news comes out, as long as Sauron poses, your other comrades hiding in the mainland will definitely lose their fighting spirit!"

"Let me guess again. With your strength, it is impossible to compete with the Pope's Hall for so long. Whether it is the number of troops, weapons and equipment, or the number of capable people, you are far inferior. The reason why it can resist until now is, firstly, due to the special geographical location of Ista; secondly, there is a containment by pirates; thirdly, I'm afraid that there are also people who are also dissatisfied with Sauron's funding and even intelligence exchanges in the Pope's Hall, right? Zero sneered and said, "Now that Ista no longer exists, Sauron is afraid that he will take the pirates next. In such a situation, once your sponsors feel that they have no chance of winning, will they continue to invest? In this way, you who have lost all your advantages also want to attack the Pope's Hall. Please tell me what this is not suicide!"

Jesse's face turned blue and white, and he looked very excited, but he couldn't refute it. Oran sighed that Jesse was still too naive and immature. In any way, it can't be compared with the young man in front of him. The watchman said humbly, "What should we do according to Captain Zero?"

Zero sighed and said, "We have always been outsiders. At present, we have limited information, but we know a general situation in the Western Continent. Many of these details are not clear, and there is no right to point fingers at you. I can only suggest that you don't reveal the death of Ulson as much as possible. You just need to find someone who looks a little similar to Ulson to make a gesture and show the outside world that you won't be injured. So even if Sauron spreads this news, it will not hit your other comrades on the mainland and the funders in the Holy See, so you still have hope.

"As for more, I'm sorry, the information is limited, and I can't make more detailed suggestions."

After saying that, Zero winped at Franklin. The latter nodded and followed Zero away from the Tower of Harvest.

On the other side of the sea, night began to fall. While the remaining light was still shining on the ruins of the building, Jesse said in a low voice, "You don't believe him, do you? He is just an outsider and doesn't know anything. The so-called illusion is not feasible at all. Oran, think about it with your brain. Once people know the truth, it will only be more unfavorable to us!"

"Maybe, but there is no denying that this method can help us get through the most difficult days of the present." Oran looked at the destruction and Ulson's high-cylin cap and said so.

Jesse's chest fluctuated violently, and finally said, "If you plan to do this, it's a pity that I won't follow your orders again!"

He brushed his sleeves away, so there was only Oran left on the rooftop.

The skylight hit Oran's face from the side, and the flat glasses on the watchman's face reflected the light of the afterglow. She couldn't see her eyes clearly, but a drop of crystal ** slid down from the glasses and floated to the ground and fell next to the dark. At this moment, Oran showed weakness from the end. She was like any woman who suddenly lost her reliance, wandering and confused.

She sat next to the dark destruction, and tears kept rolling down, but Oran seemed to be unaware. There was only this lonely sword in his eyes. Oran bit his silver teeth, stretched out and pulled out his sword and said gently, "I'm sorry, Ulson. Please fight with us for a while... I swear that I will never let Ista disappear like this. I will inherit your will!"

Standing up again, Oran took off his glasses, wiped off his eyes, and turned back to his cold appearance. She picked up the destruction and left the building. On the rooftop of the building, only Ulson's high-barrel hat remained. It pressed a stone and shook gently in the wind.

When I returned to the dock, the last light of dusk quietly disappeared. At night, flames flowed along some kind of circuit from time to time on the hull of Destiny. Zero and Franklin got on the boat and informed Feng to gather in the meeting room. Cindella also came, and she appeared with Leah. The two women with very different personalities have been getting along well these days, thanks to Leah's geneaness. As the first woman of zero, she knew that her current strength could not keep up with the pace of zero. All Lea could do was to improve her ability and not to restrain the pace of zero.

So she agrees with Beyonice, and now there is Cinella. The former can help zero in economy and management, while the latter has strong power and the local advantages of the western continent. In the past few days, Leah knows that Zero has not had a physical relationship with her. But when listening to Cinderella describe the wonderful spiritual communication between the two, Leah knew that it was no different from having a physical relationship, and even conquered Cinella's heart more than that.

This also knows Zero's intention from the other side.

After knowing Zero for so long, Leah still knows that this man is a relatively conservative person in some ways. For example, a certain level of relationship with Credella has occurred less than 24 hours, which is unique to Zero. The only possibility is to give priority to Credella's strength and her identity. This woman will be a key to the Western Continent.

This is a use, that's right. But Zero's choice to communicate spiritually with her instead of simply sharing physical happiness also shows that Zero will repay his own emotions. After all, spiritual communication is two-way. When Zero explored Cidella, he also opened his heart. The spiritual and spiritual resonance between the two sides will be deeper than the secular emotions.

Zero has planted seeds, and the seeds will eventually grow into towering trees. In the future, the feelings between Cinderila and Zero will not be much less than between him and Leah and Beatrice. If the big tree will not break accidentally.

Lia understands Zero's intention and knows that even if she doesn't want to, Zero has made a choice. She can't reverse this result, so she has to adapt to the development of things and accept Cedra's inclusion in this small circle. It's just clear, but Leah unconsciously hung a trace of sadness between her eyebrows.

Zero noticed it when she and Cidella came in. It's just that this is not the time for the two to make friends, not to mention that he has more important things to deal with, so he can only put it aside for the time being. Soon, all the important people on the ship had arrived. In addition to the core team members such as Feng, Su and Berrion, several operators in the control room, including Billy, Dr. Ji Ya, were also able to attend.

Everyone knew that Zero did this, so the next thing must be very important, so everyone pricked up their ears.

Seeing that all the staff arrived, Zero stood up and said, "You must also know that I was going to cooperate with Ista. Unfortunately, Ista is now completely out of sight, and I have just met their two leaders. One of my words and deeds disappointed me, so we will leave Ista tomorrow.

"Although we haven't really set foot on the western continent, I don't know if you have noticed a very special phenomenon from what we have heard and learned." Zero's eyes swept across the world, and he did not sell secrets. He said directly, "There are few capable people! Yes, I don't know about the Pope's Hall, but we have seen it on the side of the rebel army. Only their three leaders can be called masters. Among them, Oran, the watchman, does not seem to be a combat-type ability, and may be a high level in the perception domain. The soldiers below should be very clear that they have carried out landing operations. There are very few people with the ability of level 6 or above, and only about level 3 to level 4 at most.

"With such a rare group of capable people can fight against the Pope's Hall for so long, leaving aside some third-party factors, such as rebel eyeliners inside the Pope' Hall. To be sure, even if there are more capable people in the Pontifical Council than on the other side, the number will be extremely limited. Probably only the regimental level has reached a high level, while the ability of the middle class will be very rare, and most of them should be the ability of the third or fourth level. This is completely different from the continent we are in.

Zero looked at Cinderila again: "Interestingly, I have learned from Captain Cinderila these days that aliens in the western continent are also very rare. Even the muters on land are very limited in species, so humans dominate this continent, and human beings have unparalleled advantages. I personally guess that the small number of aliens has led to the lack of competitors on the evolutionary path of human beings in the Western Continent, which leads to a corresponding shortage of capable people among human beings. In contrast, their technology should not be underestimated.

"Captain Franklin fought against the strong men in the Pope's Hall on Ista, and according to Franklin, the other party operated mecha. And it's a large mecha of more than ten meters..."

As soon as this word came out, a small ** was born in the meeting. With a dry cough, he said, "Everyone knows that in our continent, the power mecha has only been developed in recent years. It is a single weapon developed to let ordinary people have the power to fight against low-level capable people. For us, this is already a very cutting-edge product of science and technology, but as far as the Western Continent is concerned, our so-called cutting-edge mecha is estimated to be an antique that can be destroyed in their eyes.

Captain Franklin also told me about the process of his engagement with other troops in the Pope's Hall. In this, two other forms of mecha appear. One is a plunder similar to the Green City, a heavy mecha with heavy firepower such as machine guns. The other is a light mecha with low-altitude flight capability and guided missiles as the main attack vehicle. Coupled with the large mecha that appeared in the battle of Ista, the Pope's Hall has mastered at least three different types of power mecha, which is just what we know. If there is no accident, they will have at least one or two secret mechas. In other words, the scientific and technological civilization of the western continent should overwhelm the civilization of the theme of the capable era.

Zero stressed: "But don't underestimate the scientific and technological civilization of the Pope's Hall. Both Captain Franklin and Ulson, the leader of Istana, had high-level power, and according to Mr. Franklin, Sauron was driving a large mecha at that time. The final result was that Ulsen was killed and Franklin was seriously injured. From this, it can be seen that the high-level mecha in the papal hall is actually comparable, even beyond the ordinary high-level strength!"

"And our opponent is such a kingdom of technology! Ironically, such a cutting-edge mecha civilization has been developed, but this kingdom believes in theocracy, so I have to say that this is really a deformed country. Zero shook his head.

After summarizing the general situation of the Western Continent, Zero clapped his hands and said, "This is the basic situation. More information needs to be further collected to know. Next, let's talk freely. When Itta is no longer able to cooperate, everyone talks about how we can intervene in the dispute in the Western Continent.

After Ling finished speaking, Leah pondered, "In recent days, I have roughly learned from my conversation with Sister Cindrellah that the pirates in the western continent were originally composed of people who did not want to be oppressed by Sauron. At the beginning, the pirates basically looted military merchant ships between Rome and the colonial islands. It is only now that some of the newly qualified pirates have come to do whatever they want. They must not fight against the Pope's Hall, and will also attack the civilians on the outer islands. They belong to a group without restraint at all.

"I'm wondering if Ista can't cooperate, can we collect these pirates and turn them into an army of our own?"

After Leah finished speaking, Su shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not. The boss's original intention was not to overthrow the Pope's Hall to be the master of this continent. It has been said before that we are outsiders, and even if we can do this, we will be rejected. In the same way, if these lawless pirates are used, I'm afraid that we will only be regarded as another larger pirate group by others.

"That's right, but Leah's method may not be really unreal." Feng smiled and said, "If those guys are unpopular, let's buy people off. Previously, everyone saw on Huangsha Island that the people on the outer islands were living very hard, and the city of Rome did not regard them as their own people, and even did not even treat the civilians on the colonial island. Instead, let them live and die. If we show our goodwill and take these people to our warships, it will naturally blur the perception that they can't be pirates, won't we?

Driven by these people, the discussion gradually entered **. Everyone put forward their own suggestions, some of which are indeed naive and immature, but some are very pertinent and constructive. Zero has been smiling and talking, allowing the people below to play, while he himself silently collects everyone's opinions, correct them and gradually forms a clear idea.

As a superior, the style of leadership varies from person to person. In terms of the power structure of this era, most superiors will adopt dictator-like methods. The advantage of this technique is that there is always only one sound, and the disadvantage is the one-sidedness of the strategy. Zero doesn't like this method, but now he doesn't recognize the kind of democracy that puts decisions to be decided by voting.

The former is too arbitrary, while the latter is decentralized. In this era, if you can only choose one of these two methods, then obviously the first one is more appropriate. But Zero has his own style, and he is more inclined to guide. After screening everyone's opinions, they will refer to them and guide them to the direction they have planned. In this way, there will be no sense of arbitrariness, nor will the whole command system be too bloated and cumbersome because of too scattered power.

More importantly, the following people will have a feeling of participating in the order issued by him after being guided, so they will naturally work harder to implement. This is a method of imperial law, and it is also one of the results of thorough communication with Zero before he went to the City of Dawn.

After everyone put forward their opinions, Zero stood up and naturally focused everyone's eyes on him. He swept everyone's face and said, "According to everyone's opinions, I have selected some of them that are pertinent and feasible, coupled with some of my own ideas, to form a relatively clear plan. The plan will be divided into several parts, and the first part is to collect the power of pirates, as Leah said. But it doesn't just refer to those who can't be pirates, but all of them!"

"Yes, with the rules between pirates, I will challenge all the captains of pirate ships. I want them to be king of me!"

There was silence in the meeting, and Cinderila quietly lowered her head with a wry smile on her face. She could have predicted that the turbulent undercurrent of this continent was about to completely boil for the birth of zero. Near Ista, which was destroyed by Sauron himself, his strongest opponent is quietly rising!

No one could predict the future direction of the Western Continent when Zero made this decision.
