Chapter 670 Funders

After the battle of Roaring Bay, the dock of Sea Home was not calm, but more busy.

At least a hundred pirate ships travel between the Whispers Strait and the sea, which is necessary to count the battlefield in the Strait. In the Battle of the Whisperer Strait, except for the warships in the Pope's Hall that almost completely destroyed Franklin and others on the first day. In the next battle, in order to save resources and firepower, even if he attacked the warship, Franklin's primary goal was to paralyze its functions.

Therefore, when the Pope's Hall was evacuated, the Knights also dropped dozens of warships that were only moderately or lightly damaged.

These warships are the most abundant materials for Sea House.

The warships themselves are of high quality. As long as they are pulled back to the sea house for repair, they can be put into use. In addition, the forts, ammunition and military supplies on warships are a huge asset. Although it is not enough to make up for the supplies consumed by the pirates in this war, it is quite good to make up 40% or 50%. What's more, the quality of military materials has always been good, and those pirates who rob warships for a living are very clear about this.

After all the materials were transported to the dock, under the supervision of Mr. X, they were sent to a warehouse on the Sea House and stored in different categories. Through the Order of Sea God, Zero has integrated all the pirates and become the owner of the Sea House. These materials are naturally regarded as zero property. If anyone wants to embezzle one or two pieces, Mr. X does not mind giving these insighted guys a profound lesson.

It's just that Nepshin Ling Ling chilled the pirates, while the Battle of Roaring Bay won their respect and loyalty, so no one dared to make an idea on supplies. Pirates are all unruly guys. It's not easy to win their loyalty, but Zero finally did it. This is a base point that he is based on the Western Continent, but this base point is obviously not enough, so expansion is an inevitable and urgent problem.

Zero is waiting for them to recover from their injuries. At that time, it will be the day to set sail again. On that day, their destination will be the western continent.

When the pirates are busy, Billy and his technical team are not free. From the battlefield of the Whispers Strait, the pirates salvaged several slightly damaged paladins and griffin mechas. For Billy and his team of experts, these mechas even attract their attention more than those huge materials. Billy asked Zero for these mechas, and then deconstructed the structure, system, equipment and other elements of the mecha with his team day and night.

The number of capable people in the western continent is far less than that of the Central Continent, but their technology, especially the power mecha technology, is far better than that of the Central Continent. Taking the plunderers in the Green Capital as an example, it is already a very cutting-edge mecha technology in mainland China. But in the western continent, the looters are at most equivalent to the technical content of the paladin mecha. The Paladin Mecha is the first mecha of the Pope's Hall, which belongs to the stock. There is no need to occupy land, and the destruction of strategic materials will not be too painful.

As for the lightweight Griffin Knight, it is a qualitative leap in mecha technology. It involves technical problems not involved in mainland China, such as material processing technology, more exquisite operating systems, fuel and flight systems. As for the Knights of the Round Table brought back by Mamiro, it is a horrible meat grinder that can be called a war puppet.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if ordinary people are allowed to drive the Knights of the Round Table, they can beat those with the ability below the eighth level. As for ordinary soldiers, I'm afraid there will be thousands of units damaged in the war. Of course, the operating system of the Round Table Knight itself is not customized for ordinary people. It requires the unparalleled rapid response and rich combat experience of high-level players to fully exert the combat effectiveness of the Round Table Knight.

In Billy's opinion, if the Knights of the Round Table can be mass-produced, the requirements for the use of the operating system can be completely reduced. After all, ordinary drivers can be trained, and there is one less death at a high level, which is a resource that is difficult to regenerate.

For turbulent times, resources are everything!

When studying the first and second generation of mecha, Billy also mentioned the idea of studying the Knights of the Round Table. Zero knew that he wanted to conquer this set of technology and return to the mainland of China. Even if Billy can't innovate, if he can mass- produce a reduced version of the Knights of the Round Table, it will be a terrible fighting force. Therefore, Ling went to Mr. X and euphemistically expressed his will.

The next day, Mamiro drove the round table knight to Billy's temporary workshop, on the edge of an island on the south side of the Sea House. When he saw Mamiro's round table knight, Billy immediately engaged in fanatical deconstruction work. He mainly studies the power system and operating system of the Round Table Knight, which is the technical core of the Round Table Knight.

The former solves the power problem of driving the big man, while the latter deals with the control error between the driver and the mecha. It can be expected that when Billy returns to the mainland with this technology, a new mecha force will quietly appear in the zero camp. Even if there are enough resources and factories in the western continent, he can build such a force.

But for now, it is only an imaginary stage.

The problem still lies in resources.

It's not that there are no resources on Haijia, but they can't make ends meet. After all, it is completely different from before. In the past, pirates moved around, fought separately, and basically lived a hunting-like life. But now once these things are put into war, it is not enough for one or two wars. War is very expensive. Of course, it also makes money, but zero can't make money with it now.

It is not ordinary to fight against the Pope's Hall, and even eventually remove Sauron from power, let alone burn money.

Haijia has just won a second battle and looked at the scenery. But as long as you do it again, Zero is basically sure that the pirates will never stand it. So now, he needs income, a lot of income!

At this time, he knew the difficulties of being the head of the family. In the past, when I was in mainland China, the company was small in the early stage, but it could not be reflected. Later, he became an invisible leader of an alien race. In terms of finance, he didn't have to worry about it. After fighting again, build the City of Dawn, and simply take the black roses with you. With Beatrice's means and the family staff behind her, the construction of the City of Dawn is very smooth, not to mention zero to do something.

Until now, when he integrated pirates as their leader and stood in this position again, he found that this was completely different from running an adventure team. The difference is far away from the western continent, but there is no such person like Ademili or Beyonise to help him. Everything can only be done by herself.

War is a money-burning machine, and war is also the creator of great wealth. The difference is that the time chosen and the object of the battle are different, which is related to whether to burn money or make money in a war.

Zero wants to remove Sauron from power. Of course, he can't show off his power at sea. Therefore, it is necessary and necessary to attack the western continent, so the next problem is the choice of the target. This choice of zero must be cautious, because the pirates can probably only support another battle at the level of Roaring Bay. Therefore, the choice of goal must be the kind that can make money after the attack.

With income, the consumption of war can be supplemented, and zero can achieve the purpose of expansion.

The Western Continent is not an iron barrel. On the contrary, Zero believes that under Sauron's high-pressure policy, there must be enough opposition within the Pontifical Council. It's just that these sounds are still afraid to make a sound. What Zero needs to do is to poke a large enough gap in the seemingly solid but fragile barrier of the Pope's Hall. Let these voices be vented, and as long as there are people inside who are dissatisfied and eager for power restructuring, then Zero can get enough funders.

It takes too much time to run your own business to the point where you can completely fight against Sauron. He doesn't plan to spend ten or eight years in the western continent, so he must seek as many sponsors as possible to tie these people to his chariot. To do this, the second battle is crucial.

After the victory of Roaring Bay is transmitted back to the Western Continent, Zero can be expected to form a huge influence. But this is not enough. After all, it is in the Roaring Bay, at the home of the pirates. Zero still needs to win another battle, and this time it must be at home in the Pope's Hall. Only when he proves that he has enough strength to slap him at Sauron's home court will those funders who dare not say anything will consider throwing olive branches of goodwill to him, a stranger.

With the combination of these factors, it seems that zero is the first battle to attack the western continent.

He has to choose a goal that has weight and can increase his income as his choice. The former proves its strength, while the latter can develop into a fulcrum of power encroaching on the Western Continent.

Just as Zero was thinking about his next attack target with a map of the western continent, Oran came.

On the port of Sea House, led by Zero, Manshan and Cinderila are separated, and behind them are hundreds of pirates. Pulling out this huge team was just to welcome Oran, one of the three giants of the rebels. Zero can be said to have given the female leader enough face. As for others, Huke was seriously injured and recovered, while Su and others were Zero's secret trump card. Zero was not generous enough to reveal all the cards for people to visit.

With him, two legendary captains and hundreds of pirates, such a welcoming team is sincere enough. Especially at the moment of Ista's defeat and zero new victory, even if Oran is picky, he can't find anything wrong.

Unsurprisingly, the arrival of Oran also brought a batch of materials. Materials are mainly ammunition, and food and medicine are secondary, which is exactly the most scarce thing at present. On the dock, the pirates assisted the rebel soldiers to unload the supplies from the ship to the dock one by one, and then transported them to the warehouse of the Sea House after handover and confirmation.

and Olan said directly after a brief greeting, "Excuse me, dear Ms. Olan. Isn't it time for Ista to shift nervously? Why do you still have time to go to Roaring Bay?

Olan smiled and said to Zero directly by her name. He also said, "I heard that you have done a lot on the Roaring Bay. Based on the position that we all have a common enemy, I think it is very necessary to congratulate you and send some help from your friends."

"Then I thank you for your generosity on behalf of everyone present." Ling smiled and said, "I guess, Olan, your coming this time, should not be as simple as congratulations and sending supplies, right?"

"This is obvious, isn't it?" Oran replied with a smile.

Zero is not surprised at all.

In the past, pirates were like scattered sand, and there was no cooperation with the rebels at all. Moreover, the former Ista was strong, and there was no need to cooperate with pirates who were labeled as arrogant and undisciplined. But now it is not what it used to be. Ista's power has greatly reduced, and the pirates have become a real strong force under the integration of zero, and then they have a new victory in Roaring Bay, so the two finally have the cornerstone of cooperation.

Cooperation can be carried out on many levels, from the most direct money trade and even the deployment of troops. Therefore, Zero still has a considerable expectation for the arrival of Oran. Since they want to talk about cooperation, they naturally can't negotiate in places like the dock. Zero needs a quiet enough and undisturbed place, so they came to Mr. X's bar.

The basic framework of the bar has been rebuilt, and the only poor is the necessary decoration. Now, there is no one in the bar, so it is a good meeting place for some people.

In addition to zero, there are also Cinderella and Manshan in the bar. In addition, Oran, a table for four people, Mr. X asked someone to bring beer and food, so he bombarded all the unrelated people and left space for them.

Next, as Zero guessed, Oran moved the word "cooperation" to the desktop. So Cyntra and Manshan watched an alternative battle, and the battlefield was on this small wine table. Oranro listed dozens of projects that could cooperate with zero, including zero the most important arms trade, which is exactly what pirates lack at present.

Attacking the western continent is not like a naval battle. A land war means to withstand the full artillery fire of the mecha troops in the Pope's Hall. In this way, the high-level capable group alone is not enough to suppress it, which means that the zero side needs strong firepower support. But the pirate's equipment is not comparable to the Pope's Hall at all, and even the rebels are not as good as the rebels. Pirates have the advantage of enough ordinary people, but this advantage is not enough to reverse the situation that the equipment and technology of the Pope's Hall are far better than theirs.

To open up the situation, enough firepower is necessary, so the munitions provided by Oran is naturally the top priority of all cooperation projects. In the list of tradable arms listed by Oran's intelligent brain, all kinds of electromagnetic*, mines and electromagnetic pulse firearms that can counter and even pose a threat to the mecha forces attract zero attention.

Although Ista can't produce powerful mecha like the Pope's Hall, she has accumulated enough counterattack experience over the years. Last time Sauron could almost sink the whole Ista with King Arthur, in fact, it still took advantage of the sneak attack. If Ista is properly prepared, not to mention a King Arthur, even a few more Knights of the Round Table may not be able to benefit.

And now, Zero's eyes naturally fall more on these electromagnetic weapons. Then he began to bargain with Oran about these electromagnetic weapons. It can be seen that Oran really wanted to find change to cooperate, so the price offered was not high. It's just that zero is not rich now. Based on the principle of being able to save, zero is almost bound to cut the final price. Oran also generously said that these weapons will be sent to Haijia in the near future. As for the repayment, considering the current financial situation, Oran can let him use a loan.

This means that zero has more turnover space.

Next is the next level of weapons and equipment, such as machine guns, mines and anti-armour missiles, which are much smoother. This part is traded in cash, and part of it is in exchange. Generally speaking, Oran is equivalent to fully supporting zero-sum pirates, and many of which are half bought and half free. Oran is indeed generous, generous enough to make zero surprises.

Then, Oran said another news that made Zero even more unexpected.

"Fundant?"

"Yes, that's right." Oran took the lead and said seriously, "I think the three here should see that the price we just talked about is only about 30% to 40% of the market price. Of course, I appreciate the performance of Mr. Zero and the captains, and I am willing to help or trade with you in some aspects. But it will never involve electromagnetic weapons, after all, it is our cutting-edge product. Even if it is a transaction, it cannot be sold to you at such a low price. To be honest, the amount of our transaction can't even match the cost. The reason why we are willing to do this is at the request of our sponsors.

"I don't know which adult is the sponsor behind Ista?" Cindella asked.

This is also a question that Zero wants to know.

As he inferred before, the rebels could not start from nothing with their own strength, let alone compete with the Pope's Hall for so long. Of course, the containment of pirates is one of the reasons why the Pontifical Council cannot fight against them in an all-round way. But more importantly, there should be a group of big people behind Ista who are funding them.

"Sorry, based on the current depth of cooperation between our two sides and the protection of our sponsors, I can't disclose specific information to you." Oran organized rigorous wording and said, "It can be revealed that our funders are not weak. Due to your recent active performance, he has attracted considerable attention and intends to cooperate with you in a deeper degree.

"But our ultimate goal is not any big man in the Pope's Hall, but Sauron, the head of the regiment with real power. Therefore, our sponsors hope to see further performance from you. At least let him see a chance to defeat Sauron. Even if there is only a 50% chance, he will fully support you, and even consider the possibility of the merger of our two forces!"
