Chapter 277: CCLXXVII. April Battle
Liszt was uncertain about how much clout Ox had in Dead Man Bay or how many Merfolk he could rally; siege and territorial acquisition called for maximum support, even if Brother Sha went, it still wouldn’t be reassuraning.
The capacity of Dead Man Bay was of course significantly smaller than Heaven Port. However, it was still a regional harbor, and being worn down by a war of attrition would be a major operational disaster.
He arranged for the five newly arrived Heroic Level adventurers to bolster the situation.
Damn, counting Gawain and Weber as well, it seemed they had a force akin to the Seven Martial Seas.
Heroic Level was quite formidable, allowing one to move freely between nations, only overshadowed by the insanely powerful Brother Hai, who could obliterate anything instantly.
Certainly, one could not show partiality; fairness was essential. Although Wolman’s area was not highly dangerous, appearances still had to be maintained, so all at Honor Level had to join in.
Moreover, Qi Li and Wen Kui had invested, although investing money meant they were in it together as grasshoppers tied on a string, if they could contribute, they still had to.
An initial trial operation had to be carried out. Letting the two contribute manpower to the Great Wetland to tear an opening first was essential for Liszt to lead the power management. Once accustomed, commanding them in killings would be manageable.
Since they were also shareholders on the same entrepreneurial journey, it was not too much to ask. He also didn’t want the investment in Golden Dragons to vanish as bubbles on the company’s accounts.
This was no Ponzi scheme. Every quarter Liszt would distribute profits to all investing shareholders, ensuring a stable and long-term distribution of benefits and continual consolidation and expansion. Only thus could they aspire to conquer the Central Plains.
