This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 267 Surrender, save their lives, didn't I say that I am the Lord of Glory?
In the dark prison.

Xiakas's eyes were dull, his lips were dry, and his throat hurt as if he had swallowed a stone.

Looking at the other two congressmen who were looking out through the cell door, there was no brilliance in their eyes, and their hearts were gradually filled with despair.

Under the terrifying spell bombardment, only the three of them remained in the Xingyao City Council.

He still clearly remembers how the bodies of Hardman and other councilors were torn apart under the overwhelming spells and arrow rain, how fragile their private army was in front of that army, Beheaded like a sea beast.

Thinking of these memories, a look of pain flashed in Xiakas' eyes.

At this time, he regretted extremely in his heart, regretting why he didn't readily hand over the one-tenth of the family property as a reward, and was tricked by that idiot Hardman into repaying the debt.

Now, not only was he imprisoned here, but the Xingyao Islands, which had been operating for hundreds of years, were also occupied. He had nothing left, and he didn't even know if he could keep his life.

But it's been a whole day since they were imprisoned here, and the man seemed to have forgotten them, leaving them here like a pile of garbage, no one guarded them, and no food was delivered.

Not a drop of water went in all day.

No matter how they yelled, no one paid any attention to them, only their voices echoed in this dark and deserted prison for a long time.

He was anxious and worried, fearing that the terrible sea soldiers would come in the next second and pull them out to execute them.

The physical hunger and constant mental oppression have made them reach their physical limit.

At this time, a few footsteps suddenly came from outside, echoing dully in the prison.

The faces of the three of them paled instantly.

For them, this seemed to be the voice from hell and death, and the fear in their hearts was rising like a tide, about to overwhelm them.

Several figures appeared outside the cell one after the other.

Xiakas suppressed his fear and stared at it. The leader was wearing a mask, and the deep eyes behind the mask were like stars, and seemed to have the power to see through everything in the world.

This look is like a ruthless king, who can bring down death and destruction at any time if he wants to.

The leading man said slowly.

"Xingyao City Councilor, Xia Kas?"

Xiakas recognized this man as the leader of that army, his throat rolled and he swallowed.

He wanted to yell and curse, in order to show the courage and honor of one of the thirteen council families that had ruled the Xingyao Islands for hundreds of years, and then he was killed by him with great backbone.

But at this moment, he felt that he couldn't say anything in front of these eyes.

I even felt my body trembling constantly.

At last.

He gave in, his legs slowly knelt on the ground, his forehead was pressed against the wet floor, and he answered in the most humble gesture.

"I am, my lord."

Ji Chen looked at Xia Kas who was kneeling directly in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then he looked at the other two councilors, "Member Karen, Councilor Herman?"

The two looked at Xiakas who was kneeling on the ground motionless, and thought of Hardman who had no bones left in the spell explosion. They gritted their teeth and knelt down, "Yes, my lord."

After getting their answer, Ji Chen nodded slightly.

"Do you know what crime you committed before?"

"We shouldn't have failed to fulfill our established promises, and tried to use force to force you to submit, and even wanted to murder your life. We are guilty."

Xiakas said without hesitation, the speed stunned the other two congressmen.

Boy, have you already thought about this?
What a cowardly fellow!
Scolding is scolding, complaints are complaints, and they are not far behind in detailing their crimes.

"I shouldn't have coveted that reward, I'm guilty."

"Offending you, my lord, is our greatest sin!"

Seeing their confession so straightforwardly, Ji Chen, who wanted to find fault, couldn't find anything to do, and all the drafts he had prepared in his mind were invalidated.

After thinking about it, I still don't want to fix these stupid heads.

He simply said it directly.

"I have occupied the Xingyao Islands, but now I don't spend too much energy here, so I need someone who is familiar with it and can assist me in management."

When Karen and Herman heard this, they quickly understood what Ji Chen meant.

As long as they can not die, as long as they can restore their previous power, then they are willing to pay any price.

said quickly.

"We are willing to do things for you, my lord, and hope you will give us a chance to make up for our previous crimes."

Ji Chen looked at them one by one, and finally passed the silent Xiakas.

Unhurried and authentic.

"However, I want you to sign a master-servant contract."

Master and servant contract! ?
A look of hesitation flashed across the faces of Karen and Herman.

Naturally, they also knew about this kind of contract. After signing, the soul of the servant would be controlled by the master, and the life of the servant no longer belonged to him.

Unless the master takes the initiative to cancel, the contract will exist forever.

This made it difficult for them who were originally high-ranking and high-ranking members of parliament to accept. After all, they also migrated from the mainland. How can nobles with a long history be servants of others?
Looking at their expressions, Ji Chen secretly shook his head.

Sure enough, such things still cannot be handed over to these people.

"I am willing!"

At this time, Xia Kas, who had been silent all this time, raised his head and said seriously.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, and there was a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

Without wasting time, I stretched out my index finger to draw in the air, and as the fingertips moved, a floating contract text gradually appeared.

With a slight push of his hand, he flew in front of Xia Kas.

Without the slightest hesitation, the latter immediately signed his name on the contract.

The words containing the rules dissipated in the air, and Xia Kas felt that there was a certain connection between himself and Ji, and inexplicably a touch of awe and surrender rose from the depths of his soul.

It only takes one thought from the other party, and his soul will dissipate in an instant.

Xiakas lowered his head again, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your forgiveness, my subordinates will definitely do their best to assist you in controlling the entire Xingyao Islands."

Ji Chen nodded, "Get up."

Xiakas looked for a while, and stood up with his arms propped up, but his waist was still bent, and his face was full of respect and awe.

Now Karen and Herman were dumbfounded. They didn't expect Xiakas to agree so decisively. Doesn't he have any honor of nobility?

They who have been in high positions for a long time understand very well that if a person has no use value, the price of his life will be minimized.

In short, for Ji Chen, they seem to have no value in continuing to live.

For a moment, Karen and Herman felt that a "danger" appeared above their heads.

"My lord, I am willing too!"

"Please give us another chance, we are willing to sign the master-servant contract!"

Ji Chen looked at the two belatedly, without a trace of emotional fluctuation in his eyes, and signaled to the Naga guards who followed behind to deal with them.

Seeing this scene, Karen and Herman turned pale and collapsed on the ground.

These sea warriors with double blades turned into life-threatening demons in front of their eyes.

"My lord, I think they can be spared."

But at this time, a voice seemed to come from outside the sky, making them feel as if they had received amnesty.

Ji Chen frowned, looked at Xia Kas who was kneeling again, and slowly raised his hand to stop the Naga guard who was acting as the executioner.

"Tell me your reasons, I won't leave worthless people behind."

Xiakas felt the pressure like a mountain, took a deep breath, and spoke as smoothly and concisely as possible.

"The thirteen council families have occupied the Xingyao Islands for hundreds of years, and have gradually formed and cultivated their respective industries."

"For example, my Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Star Islands. It controls the largest trade fleet here and has a complete internal and external trade system. Through the fleet of the Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce and a large number of skilled manpower, it can trade as quickly as possible. The speed of importing goods from the Western Continent, of course, can also export goods to the Western Continent.”

"In addition, the Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce also has many offices in the coastal cities of the Western Continent. In addition to handling business affairs, it also collects various news and intelligence."

Ji Chen's interest increased greatly, and the brows relaxed slightly, "Continue talking."

Seeing that his tone had softened, Xiakas swallowed and continued.

"Karen is the largest grower of agricultural products in the Shining Star Islands. It also owns a number of large food processing factories, which can produce and process a large amount of food, almost supporting the food supply of the entire Shining Star Islands."

"As for Herman, he owns a large shipyard. He is the only member of the thirteenth council family that has the ability to manufacture steel warships. He has a lot of reserves of alchemy technology, and there is also a large alchemy artillery factory that can manufacture all kinds of warships. Alchemy Cannon and Alchemy Cannonball."

"So, instead of killing them, it's better to give them another chance to redeem themselves and let them use these industries and advantages to do things for you, so that you, my lord, can better control the Star Island and gain greater benefits."

"After all, a person who is familiar with these matters is more valuable."

After finishing speaking, Xia Kas looked at Ji Chen cautiously, feeling a little thumping in his heart.

But when he saw a hint of approval on his face, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart jumped up.

Ji Chen had to admit that Xia Kasi's words really convinced him.

At the same time, he did not expect that these parliamentary families do have a lot of merits.

For example, Shakas' Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce.

Although Ocean Crown has absorbed experienced merchants like Raymond, its business and trade foundation is still too weak. If a chamber of commerce that is mature and complete in all aspects joins, it will obviously be able to better export Ocean Crown goods and import them into the untouched Western Continent.

The planting and processing of agricultural products in Karen is also very good. Food is the most important thing for the people. Food, an indispensable thing in daily life, often has the greatest market demand and great usefulness.

What caught his attention the most was Herman. He didn't expect that his shipyard could manufacture steel warships, which he had always dreamed of.

The Crown of the Ocean wants to face increasingly powerful enemies in the future. This kind of product that contains the crystallization of the world's alchemy technology and can gallop across the ocean is naturally indispensable.

"Very well, I will give you one more chance."

Without hesitation, Ji Chen drew out two more master-servant contracts and pushed them in front of them.

This time, Karen and Herman signed their names without any hesitation.

The contract has been fulfilled, a trace of loneliness flashed across their faces, but they were soon relieved.

Although being a servant is a bit awkward, it is already a good thing to be able to survive. What's more, according to Ji Chen's point of view, they can still control their own property, but there is one more person on their head who needs to surrender. Just people.

Seeing that the contract was signed, and the remaining three members of the Star City Council also surrendered, Ji Chen didn't waste any more time.

Take the three of them out of the prison and come to the parliament hall.

Immediately ordered his decree to the three.

"Starting from today, the Xingyao City Council will be disbanded and replaced by the Ocean Crown Xingyao Islands Office, but the highest power belongs to the Ocean Crown, and the supreme ruler is me, Ji Chen."

"In addition to your own property, during this period of time, the three of you will control the properties of other deceased councilors as soon as possible, and coordinate various resources."

"Xingyao City's ordinary army and private army are all disbanded, and they need to go through several rounds of assessments before they can join the newly established Xingyao Islands Guard Army, and the defense work during this period will be handed over to the Coral Palace Army, oh yes , Coral Palace is a subsidiary force of Ocean Crown."

"You don't need to worry about those sea beast corpses. The Lords of Glory will be responsible for disposing of them. For the Lord of Glory, we will maintain the previous policy for the time being and don't interfere. They need to abide by the order here."

"The buildings and facilities destroyed by sea beasts on the islands on the south side of the archipelago will also be repaired."

"In addition, you need to spread the news that the Xingyao Islands have successfully defeated the tide of sea beasts. The merchants here need to inject fresh blood."

"By the way, the slums in Xingyao City should be demolished and rebuilt as soon as possible, and the food in the warehouse should not be left to stink, and a part of it should be used to help the residents, so that they can at least have a warm place to live and a full stomach."

The decrees, large and small, were stated one by one. Such a large number made the heads of the three of them a little buzzing.

But they were members of parliament at any rate before, with certain administrative capabilities, and they can understand the meaning of these decrees now.

"I understand, we will start as soon as possible."

Xiakas said respectfully, but with some doubts on his face, "My lord, I have a question."

"Say."

"The name of your territory is the Crown of the Ocean? Why does it sound like the name of those glorious lords?"

Ji Chen looked at him strangely, "Didn't I say that I was the Lord of Glory? Well, it seems that I didn't say that."

The three of Xiakas' eyes were dull, and their faces were full of disbelief.

There was a storm in my heart.

My lord is the Lord of Glory! ?
How can it be!
