1326 Once and for All
The only spaceport that connected the Lawless Lands to the outside world was Madoga Port. It was also the most prosperous place in the entire Lawless Lands.
This place had the most prosperous market. Many goods that were eliminated from the central area were smuggled here by unscrupulous merchants to be sold to the various factions in the Lawless Lands. Then, these factions would ship them to all corners of the Lawless Lands.
However, the market here was not safe. In fact, it was very dangerous, unless you were a merchant with a strong influence outside. If you were just a small merchant who wanted to get rich overnight, it was very likely that they would be completely devoured by the forces here, including their bones, without leaving a trace behind.
When the 7th Bugle Call entered the port, they knew that the 7th Bugle Call was filled with goods. This news was immediately spread to the ears of all the factions in Madoga Port. They started to investigate this pirate clan that they had never seen before. They wanted to know where they came from.
As long as they found out that there was no powerful faction behind the 7th Bugle Call, what awaited Ling Lan and her gang would be a bloodbath.
"Isn't it a little too hasty to be so high-profile? Can't we investigate the strength of the factions here before making a decision?" Luo Yang asked Tian Fang worriedly. However, his gaze was fixed on the two people who were playing chess.
Tian Fang replied angrily, "How would I know if you're asking me?"
From the moment Ling Lan ordered those people to get off the ship and accidentally saw the warehouse full of people, Tian Fang knew that his boss was going to do something. However, he didn't know why he was going to do this.
Ling Lan was still as cold as ever. She didn't seem to notice Luo Yang's worry and confusion. However, she put down her chess piece and pointed at Li Lanfeng's direction.
Li Lanfeng, who knew Ling Lan well, saw this scene and smiled. He turned to Luo Yang and said, "We're new here. If we want to know the exact strength of the factions here, we won't be able to find anything without a few months of hard work. It's a waste of time. Why don't we alert them first? Even if the first snake that comes to us isn't the strongest here, it will be the most suitable one to work with."
Luo Yang nodded thoughtfully. Tian Fang didn't understand so he asked, "Why do you say that the first snake is the most suitable? Shouldn't he be the most impulsive? "
"Captain, you can't use the military's mindset to judge the people here. In the Lawless Lands, anyone who can become a faction isn't simple. This is the most prosperous place in the Lawless Lands. You can even say that it's the link to the outside world. Do you think that the 13 Lords would ignore this place?" Li Lanfeng's lips curled into a smile. "The Shang Clan's power in name is most likely backed by the 13 Lords. Of course, this did not exclude the possibility of other valiant vassals. Of course, probing is necessary, but probing is not the first snake I'm talking about. "
"Can't they think that we're lone travelers with no backing? Can't they just send people to kill us and then eat our ship and goods? To be honest, my ship is even more tempting than the goods in the warehouse." Tian Fang's heart ached. It wasn't easy for him to successfully modify the 7th Bugle Call. The 7th Bugle Call was fully equipped with weapons and looked absolutely ferocious. However, under the orders of his boss, it was reduced to such a broken state. He almost vomited blood. Luckily, this was just a disguise. The powerful ones were all hidden underneath. This made Tian Fang feel slightly better.
"They won't." This time, the person who answered him wasn't Li Lanfeng. It was Luo Yang.
Luo Yang was indeed the chief of staff of the 7th Bugle Call. After being reminded by Li Lanfeng and thinking about the arrangements made by Ling Lan along the way, he roughly understood why Ling Lan was so fearless.
Tian Fang turned to look at Luo Yang and waited for him to explain. Luo Yang continued, "The few spaceports that Boss stopped at recently all used the Rainbow Raiders' token."
"So, as long as they investigate, they will be able to find out that the faction behind us is the Rainbow Raiders." Tian Fang understood. "The Lawless Lands might not care about the United Nations, but they can't ignore the mercenary world."
"A place that has been sealed off by the United Nations. If they don't have the mercenary world, who will bring them resources from the outside world?" Luo Yang smiled and said, "So, before they have enough power to take over the mercenary world, they won't dare to offend the mercenary world."
"I was wondering why Boss kept such a high profile the closer we got to the Lawless Lands. So that's why." Tian Fang understood everything now. Ling Lan had set up this trap a long time ago. She even asked him to take the token to repair the 7th Bugle Call.
"I just want to settle this once and for all." At this moment, Ling Lan's cold voice sounded. At the same time, the crisp sound of a chess piece landing was heard. "Thank you for letting me win."
Li Lanfeng's attention returned to the chessboard. When he saw that one of his dragons was killed, he instantly smiled bitterly. "I lost."
When playing chess with Ling Lan, he couldn't be distracted for even a moment. Otherwise, he would seize the opportunity to kill him. Now, Ling Lan's style of playing Go was full of killing intent. She was no longer as gentle as she used to be. Her schemes were all well-thought-out and her moves were all intertwined. In the end, you had no choice but to give up and admit defeat. Now, whenever he had the chance, he would decisively deal a fatal blow.
"You think too much when you're playing chess." Ling Lan said calmly, "There are only two kinds of new places. One is to fight steadily and slowly accumulate strength. The other is to invade forcefully and quickly take over a place. We don't have much time. Fighting steadily and steadily isn't suitable for us. Thus, we can only take an unconventional approach. "
After saying that, Ling Lan raised her head slightly. The light shone on her face. Her cold face and indifferent gaze gave people the feeling that everything was under her control. It made Tian Fang and Luo Yang want to bow down to her.
"Taking an unconventional approach is a game of life and death. If we lose, we'll suffer a crushing defeat. If we win, it'll be our chance to officially invade the Lawless Lands," Ling Lan said coldly. "Now, the first wave of probing should be here. Tell Luo Lang to prepare for battle."
"Yes." The three of them immediately stood up.
"We've found out. It's the people from the Rainbow Raiders." This news quickly spread to the people in charge of the various factions stationed at Madoga Port.
"Looks like the Rainbow Raiders can't wait anymore. They want to come to the Lawless Lands and take a share of the profits." The three kings of the mercenary world finally couldn't wait anymore.
All the factions in the Lawless Lands were prepared for this day. However, they didn't expect it to come so suddenly. They were caught off guard.
"Then, the question is, should we cooperate or stop them?"
Every person in charge had this question in their heart. Which path they should take would determine their relationship with the mercenary world and the three kings in the future.
"The Rainbow Raiders, huh? Are they throwing out this bait to see if we'll take the bait? " One of the people in charge smiled faintly. "I want to see which idiot will act first."
"Why? Are we just going to watch the show?" His comrade sitting beside him asked curiously.
"Yes. Let's see if they're good enough to make us fight." The person in charge smiled faintly. If the people they sent this time were strong enough, it wasn't impossible for them to cooperate. However, they still had to see if they had real goods.
