Pirates Must Be Exterminated! (Thanks to S. Redemption for the Alliance Leader)

Pirates Must Be Suppressed! (Thank you, S Redemption, for becoming an alliance leader)

The fleet did not set sail in grand procession until it had already left port and reached the open sea, and most ordinary soldiers still had no idea what was happening.

An anti-piracy campaign.

They did not even know where the pirates were, okay?!

If you said they were going to wipe them out, then sure, wipe them out... With this bunch already useless as they were, I'd lose if they could actually pull it off.

But what if they could pull it off? Wouldn't that mean they won?

Besides, after Minkler disappeared for several days and returned as the King of Elephant Isle and head of the Chopra Family, the news was so outrageous that it spread like wildfire through the entire fleet within minutes.

Speculation and rumors about three-year agreements, the return of a king, useless live-in sons-in-law barking, and the like began spreading at once, making Ji Jue laugh so hard he nearly fell over.

More than that, though, there was relief and cheering.

Things were looking up.

Wasn't life getting better now?

The fleet's commander had become the King of Elephant Isle, rich enough to own the seas. How could life possibly get worse from here?

Even if Minkler himself knew, the upper echelons of the Seven Cities understood, and the Chopra Family's brothers and sisters were aware that the position of family head was nothing but cannon fodder!

The cannon fodder themselves did not know that!

Besides, cannon fodder came in different grades. Some could have their entire families wiped out without anyone sparing them a glance, while others were gold and jade splendor victory trophies, gleaming brightly. How could they possibly look like firecrackers meant to be thrown to the ground?
