Chapter 34: Do it as you please
Atlantis surrounds the entire dock. As the largest dock in Astapor, it is spacious enough to facilitate the handling of goods.
This time Newgate brought a total of 500 Unsullied and 1,000 sailors, plus the men in Jack's hands, enough manpower to transport the goods.
Kaido led five hundred Unsullied people to quickly control the entire dock. Many merchants and slave owners who were planning to escape were all detained, and all their property was naturally confiscated.
Just when Newgate was controlling the dock and preparing to receive Jack, Jack had already arrived at the fifth pyramid.
After many plunders, Jack discovered that the wealth gap between the benefactors was also very huge. Until now, there was no benefactor who could catch up to half of Krazny's wealth.
At this time, Daenerys had already led the nine thousand Unsullied under her command to liberate slaves along the way.
Her goal is also the wealth of the good people, but what Dany needs now is food and grass more, followed by gold and silver.
At this time, Jack had confiscated nearly four million golden dragons' rare treasures. Looking at the fully loaded carriage, Jack was ready to stop. The largest pyramids of good masters had been swept away by him, and the remaining pyramids were left to Dany. Liz, please search slowly, since it can’t be installed anymore.
Soon Daenerys met Jack. Seeing the wealth that filled the truck, Daenerys was not greedy, but stepped forward to ask Jack about his next plan.
"Where are you going to develop next? Be a pirate? Or build a powerful and unrivaled mercenary group?" Daenerys looked at Jack with burning eyes.
"Establish a maritime power, Atlantis. From now on, you can call me Poseidon." Jack did not hide his ultimate goal. Now that he has established a firm foothold, he no longer has to worry about being surrounded and suppressed.
Daenerys was silent for a moment and asked tentatively: "I wonder if you would like to join my Royal Council. I can give you the positions of Hand of the King and Commander of the Navy, and there is no need for anyone to contribute, as long as you are in Just give me some advice at critical moments.”
Dani's words made Jack instantly think of a position. Isn't this the honorary consultant?
I usually do nothing, but provide guidance in some key areas, and then get a lot of money.
Jack touched his chin, but did not reject Daenerys immediately, "What can you give me in return? If I join your royal council, Atlantis will be the enemy of the entire Slaver's Bay."
"This" Dany was speechless for a moment, because she really hadn't considered what Jack said. Next, she would face the hostility of the entire Slaver's Bay. If Jack joins her council, there is a high chance that he will also be listed. for the enemy.
"If you can gain a foothold in Slaver's Bay, I might consider helping you, but definitely not now. It depends on whether your situation is worth my investment."
After hearing Jack's words, Daenerys temporarily gave up the idea of winning over him. Jack was right. If he had no investment value, there was no need for Jack to risk his side.
After both teams avoided each other, Jack successfully arrived at the dock with a large amount of loot.
At this time, Newgate had been waiting for a long time. The moment he saw Jack, he hurried over and said, "Your Majesty the Sea Emperor, are you okay?"
"Just call me Captain. You are considered an old man, so there is no need to be formal." Jack said with a smile.
Newgate quickly corrected him: "Your Majesty, you are now a big man with eight thousand troops and hundreds of ships. It is inappropriate to call him captain anymore."
"Hahahaha, that's up to you." Jack liked the feeling of being flattered. Since someone was willing to flatter him, he was naturally very happy to cooperate.
"How is the construction of the Seychelles Islands now?" He has not left Astapou in the past few months and does not know what the Seychelles Islands are like.
"It is a treasure land. In addition to the giant island in the middle, the Seychelles Islands are surrounded by five small islands. A city can be built on the central island and a small town can be built on the periphery."
Speaking of the Seychelles Islands, Newgate is completely satisfied. I thought the environment on the island would be harsh, but I didn’t expect the soil to be fertile and the climate to have basically no shortcomings except for the rain.
Jack asked people to move all the looted things to the ship, and then led his large army towards the Seychelles Islands.
In the cabin, Newgate, Kaido, and Jack were eating.
"Your Majesty, the entire Seychelles Islands are very large. It is roughly estimated to be about 20,000 square kilometers. Our people have only built camps in the northern part of the island and have not yet explored it in depth."
Jack poured himself a glass of wine and then asked: "How many species are there on the island? If there are many species, it means that the Seychelles Islands are still very good islands."
"There are quite a lot of species. In addition, there are no humans on the island, but there are a large number of black langurs, which are very annoying. If the black langurs are not eliminated, nothing can be planted."
The black langur was named by Newgate, a kind of black monkey with curly hair and a leaf-like green mark on its forehead.
The number of black langurs is astonishing, and they will even form groups to attack the Unsullied patrol team from time to time. Although there is no threat, it is very uncomfortable to be covered with rotten fruit peels and feces.
Then Newgate told Jack about the situation of the black langurs in detail, and Jack waved his hand, indicating that Newgate didn't need to worry too much.
Humans are an absolute invasive species no matter where they go. After Jack transfers a large number of people to the island, the black langurs on the island will slowly become extinct because their habitats are cleared, and there is no need to even hunt them specifically. Black leaf monkey.
"Your Majesty, where do you plan to move these people from?"
There are not many places where people can migrate. The best is Slaver's Bay, but there are no slaves in Slaver's Bay now.
"Of course they come from Slaver's Bay, especially the Lazar people, who are docile and good at planting. They are the best large base population." Jack said without thinking.
"But Slaver's Bay has been liberated by Daenerys Targaryen, how can we still buy slaves?" Kaido was confused.
Kaido doesn't know much about this. He is proficient in commanding the Unsullied in combat, but he is only proficient in commanding the Unsullied in combat.
“Daenerys talks about liberating Slaver’s Bay, but it’s not even close.
There are three cities in Slaver's Bay. Only Astapor has been liberated now, but Meereen and Yunkai have not yet. She does not have enough management talents to rule Slaver's Bay stably.
How can the centuries-old slavery system in Slaver's Bay be eradicated so easily? What's more, the entire continent of Essos is accustomed to slavery. Isn't the prosperity of the nine major trading city-states built on the bones of slaves? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Newgate stood up suddenly, and then knelt down to Jack, "Your Majesty, I beg you, if you have the energy, please help us slaves!"
What Jack didn't expect was that Kaido actually knelt down, and the meaning was self-evident.
Jack was very pleased to see this. This is good. Only when you have your own ideas and pursuits can you be a complete person. Jack is not afraid that his men have too many thoughts, but is afraid that each of them will be as numb and boring as a dead fish.
"Get up, you are no longer slaves. As for the slavery system, you don't have to worry too much. It's just a small slavery system. Just wave Daenerys' sharp sword a little."
Newgate looked up at Jack who was pouring himself a drink. The confidence and dominance in his eyes shocked his heart. For a moment, Newgate felt that Jack was really the omnipotent Poseidon.
Dong dong dong————
Newgate kowtowed three times in succession, "Your Majesty, I thank you on behalf of all the slaves in Essos!"
The old man Newgate had been a slave all his life, and his hatred of slavery was naturally self-evident.
For Jack, destroying slavery did not require much effort, or doing it personally.
He just needs to give Daenerys some advice and let Daenerys do it hard, and he can even get a lot of benefits from it.
