Chapter 1859: Chapter 620: I Thought I Was Playing C&C: Generals 6, but Somehow Ended Up Back in Red Alert 3
Believe me, Captain Paula!
As long as you can bring over the airship we need, I have a way to ensure the Steam Lord doesn’t catch you with any leverage!
When those air units, renamed as ‘Kirov Airships,’ are piloted by my warriors into battle, one-fifteenth of every battle’s loot will be directly deposited into your cargo company’s account in Transylvania as a rebate.
Although we don’t have banks here yet, I believe this institution will soon be established.”
Murphy picked up his wine glass and raised it toward Paula, saying:
“So, a pleasant cooperation?”
Paula’s expression immediately turned shocked.
She didn’t quite believe the conditions this vampire spoke of, but if it were true, it would mean her pathetic little “Perfect Shipping” company could complete a meteoric rise today.
What is this called, dear fellows?
This is the business opportunity period, where if you stand on it, even a pig placed in the manager’s office could become the wealthiest among the half-body people!
“Ah, no, I can’t agree to you immediately!”
Paula felt her head getting a bit hot, so she put back on her captain’s hat and said:
“Give me two days to think it over. You must understand, Handsome Murphy, the stakes in this matter are quite high; I must convince myself to take the risk. Moreover, if I really do it, I have to plan a whole process to avoid surveillance.”
“No problem, I’ll give you five days to consider.”
Murphy took a sip of wine and said:
“You can first go to Milian to sign the tax exemption documents and make a trip to Charldo Harbor to bring back the various machines and materials we’ve procured there for us.
Several factories here are waiting to start production. Speaking of which, are the factory owners in Charldo Harbor interested in investing in Transylvania? This is a fertile new land, a true blue ocean market. I guarantee they won’t lose money.
Additionally, your crew would love to experience the customs of Transylvania, so could you land your cool airship?
I want to invite my Generals and Commanders to board the airship for a look, to at least get acquainted with the War Behemoths they’ll be piloting in the future.”
“Of course, of course, in the face of such enormous profits, these are just minor issues.”
Captain Paula’s mind was no longer in this dimension.
She wholeheartedly agreed, and then returned to her captain’s cabin for serious and thorough contemplation.
A few minutes later, the airship suspended in the air began to descend, amidst the cheers of the half-human sailors. Murphy gave Bob an eye signal, and the two vampires went to a more secluded smoking room under the guise of enjoying tobacco.
Captain Pablo leaned back in a big boss pose beside the all-glass observation skylight, puffing clouds of smoke, watching Murphy, waiting for his question.
“Why help me?”
Murphy refused the tobacco that Pablo handed over; it didn’t fit the persona he had always maintained.
He asked:
“Do you and Claire need something from me?”
“Of course, I won’t hide this.”
Pablo laughed heartily and said:
“Claire is almost dead with anxiety, and if I hadn’t been soothing her, my stupid First Mate would have tried to seduce you with foolish allure tactics to seek your help. But I know, facing a woman of the level of the Grand Duke of Triss, she wouldn’t stand a chance.
We are discussing a big deal! A matter of life and death for the Blood Fear Clan.
But now is not the time to speak; I must seriously tell you, Handsome Murphy, neither Claire nor I nor our marines are in Transylvania just because Lord Paryen showed kindness.
We have our troubles to deal with.
That’s a very, very terrible problem. In fact, after we left, the entire Blood Fear Fleet had already paused operations in the Misty Sea, and was staying put in Blood Plunder Bay obediently.
It’s not that we’ve suddenly changed our ways, nor that the Misty Sea has suddenly become dangerous.
The Blood Fear Clan is in trouble, Handsome Murphy.
To escape that terrible disaster, Claire and I went to the Far East six months ago.
We spent a fortune enough to buy a small principality to get a clear guidance from the Stargazer of the Dragon Emperor’s Royal Sky Watch Observatory, and when we returned to the Vampire Coast, Lord Paryen sent information.
This fully proves the guidance was correct.”
The Bloody Captain blew a smoke ring to cover his cheeks, and he said in a low voice:
“You! You can help us! You can save us! We will help you win this war, putting you in a debt of gratitude that you must repay, and then I will tell you about the troubles of the Blood Fear Clan.
I know you’ll help.
This is how pirates do things.”
