Chapter 303: CCCIII. Expedition Unveiled
Navigation room.
"You’re late, the upper echelons of the Alliance are now utterly corrupt, and Pawel is just a leg between Doringger and those guys, but a big leg at that. Quite a few people on the island have taken Pawel’s money and stand with him. It’s not that I don’t want to help you... I respect you greatly, but this isn’t just about Pawel; the brothers in Dead Man Bay have no food to eat; to put it bluntly, at that point, faith means nothing, money is more important."
A merfolk captain warned Ox to be cautious, as Pawel’s death wouldn’t mean much, but once that chain of interest was broken, who would handle the problem of feeding people?
You, Ox, such an incredible figure, naturally disdain dealing in hallucinogenic substances, which would ruin your reputation as a tough guy.
"You really have the nerve to say that, I bet you took his money too, if he’s dead, he’s dead! Are you gonna stay here forever playing the pirate? Not going back to Mirror Sea?"
Another merfolk captain fully supported Ox in chopping down Pawel.
Defeated soldiers, escapees, and former Alliance military personnel forced to leave during the great purge, many had converged in Dead Man Bay.
And this captain, having once been Alliance military himself, naturally supported Ox.
Ox frowned deeply, not worried about the situation here; with so many people following him, including Heroic Level adventurers and his own supporters, killing Pawel was just a matter of physical labor.
What truly worried him was Doringger’s side, having connections with the high-level of the Alliance and wielding great influence strictly speaking, even some small country kings could no longer interfere; could Liszt really handle it?
"You guys in such a secluded place might not know, but my group seized a train."
