Chapter 257: The Blue Hydrangea of Farnese (2)
Preparing a bunch of battleships was the first urgent matter.
The Republic of Batavia……in other words, the nation that was actually being controlled by Paimon in the background boasted the strongest naval force. They had more than sixty large galleys that were affiliated with the army. It would be fine to call them a monstrous maritime country.
Paimon came up with a simple solution.
“We will frame it so that it appears as if the Demon Lord army stole the ships.”
Large battleships were often used for trade purposes during times of peace. The monsters under the command of the Mountain Faction ambushed the battleships that were doing business inland. Seven vessels were easily hijacked.
Normal merchants naturally got killed by the maws of monsters.
I couldn’t help but find this funny.
“Don’t those ships belong to Batavia? All things considered, you basically stole from yourself.”
“Dear me. I do not consider the republic as my own. The privatization of a nation is the shortest path to tyranny.”
