Chapter 1184 The enemy of my enemy is my friend
A chill ran through me a hundred times stronger than when I first heard the name "East India Company".
In an instant, it shot straight up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head!
She originally thought that their greatest enemy was the powerful colonists from the West with their superior ships and cannons.
But she never expected it.
Behind these visible enemies.
It turns out that such a huge, mysterious, and evil transnational terrorist organization was hidden there!
This is no longer a simple war between nations.
This is the ultimate showdown between civilization and barbarity, order and chaos, creation and destruction!
At this moment, she was still wearing the Phoenix Descent Dress, which served as her only nightgown.
At this moment, the extremely dark black Suzhou brocade base material seemed to have transformed into a cold abyss shrouded in boundless darkness!
It was filled with an unprecedented and immense sense of crisis!
The colossal phoenix embroidered with real gold thread seemed to sense this dimensional attack from another dimension!
An unprecedented, chilling killing intent, filled with solemnity and determination, burst forth from his phoenix eyes!
It's as if it's saying that no one dares to threaten the land it protects.
It will spare no effort to tear it to shreds!
The five-zhang-long dark gold brocade train was whipped around on the deck by the raging sea wind, rolling wildly like a black, angry wave!
That luxurious disarray, at this moment, is no longer languid, but a raging fury that is ready to fight against the darkness of the whole world!
"My husband, you..."
It took Murong Yan a long time to recover from the huge shock.
Her voice was trembling.
"Is everything you said true?"
"I hope not."
Lin Zhen gave a wry smile.
"But all indications suggest..."
"My guess is probably pretty accurate."
"Then...then what should we do now?"
Murong Yan panicked completely.
For the first time, she felt what true helplessness meant.
Faced with such a colossal entity, hidden in the shadows of the world with unfathomable power.
All the wisdom and strategy she was so proud of seemed to have lost their effectiveness.
"Don't be afraid."
Lin Zhen felt the person in his arms trembling.
He quickly tightened his arms around her, using his own body heat to warm her cold body.
"and me."
His voice remained steady and powerful.
Like a shot of adrenaline, it instantly calmed Murong Yan's panicked heart.
She looked up at his eyes, which remained as sharp as a hawk's even in the sunlight.
"Husband, you...you have a solution?"
"not yet."
Lin Zhen shook his head.
But there was not a trace of panic in his eyes.
There was only a cold, machine-like calmness.
"But one thing I'm sure of."
He looked into Elizabeth's hopeful blue eyes.
Said word by word.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
"Captain Elizabeth, your deal..."
"We did it!"
"You...you agreed?!"
Elizabeth heard Lin Zhen's resolute answer.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
She stared blankly at the man in front of her, who had just been shouting and threatening to kill her.
Those sapphire-blue eyes were filled with unbelievable ecstasy!
She originally thought she would have to use her words again.
It might even come at a greater cost.
Only then could they persuade the shrewd, fox-like Eastern emperor and empress.
But she never expected it.
They agreed so readily and decisively!
"Your Highness...you..."
She was so excited that she became somewhat incoherent.
"Are...are you telling the truth?"
"You have no joke."
Lin Zhen said calmly.
"However, we also have our conditions."
"Please tell me!"
Elizabeth quickly said.
"As long as I can do it!"
"I would gladly face any danger, even going through fire and water!"
She knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.
They wanted the help of this powerful emperor and empress.
She must also pay the corresponding price.
"very good."
Lin Zhen nodded in satisfaction.
He enjoys dealing with smart and sensible women like this.
"Our conditions are also very simple."
He looked at her and spoke each word clearly.
"First, from this day forward, you, your 'Black Pearl,' and all your pirate crew members."
"You must all swear allegiance to our Great Qian Empire!"
"Officially joining our soon-to-be-established 'Great Qian Royal Navy'!"
"To become the first vanguard fleet for our conquest of the stars and the sea!"
"what?!"
Elizabeth's expression changed drastically upon hearing this!
Should she and her crew swear an oath of allegiance?
Join the navy of the Great Qian Dynasty?
This... this is tantamount to turning her from a free and unrestrained pirate queen into a powerful figure.
Do you want to become a lackey of their Great Qian Dynasty?!
She is Elizabeth Swann!
But she is the proudest and freest queen of the Caribbean!
How could she possibly bow down and submit to anyone?!
"What? Don't want to?"
Lin Zhen looked at her ever-changing expression and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"It's okay if you don't want to."
"Then our deal is off."
"You can continue being your free-spirited pirate queen."
"Then wait to be hunted down to the ends of the earth by Barbossa and the East India Company."
"Finally, they caught me and tortured me to death."
"or……"
His gaze fell on the black crystal bracelet on her wrist, which shimmered with an eerie red light.
"Just wait until that traitor Barbosa is in a bad mood one day."
"He gently crushed the other crystal in his hand."
Then, with a 'bang'.
"You will completely vanish from this world."
Lin Zhen's every word was like a sharp knife.
It pierced Elizabeth's heart deeply.
Her beautiful face turned deathly pale instantly.
She knew that what the man said was true.
Her so-called freedom.
Faced with absolute power and the threat of life and death.
It seemed so ridiculous and vulnerable.
She had no choice at all.
"I……"
She gritted her teeth, her blue eyes flashing with humiliation, resentment, and deep struggle.
for a long time.
She seemed to have all her strength drained away.
She slowly lowered her proud head.
"I...will."
She spoke in a barely audible tremor.
"very good."
Lin Zhen nodded in satisfaction.
He knew he had successfully tamed this wild horse from the far west.
"As for the second condition."
His voice became somewhat mischievous.
"That means starting today."
"You, Elizabeth Swann, will no longer be a pirate queen."
"She is my personal secretary, Lin Zhen!"
"And Her Majesty the Empress's personal maid!"
"Specially responsible for teaching our future little prince or princess."
"Learn your Western languages and navigation knowledge."
"Are you willing?"
"Wha...what?!"
Elizabeth was stunned once again upon hearing this.
She looked up at the man in front of her with an incredulous expression, who was grinning mischievously.
To have her as his personal secretary?
And Her Majesty the Empress's personal maid?
And they're going to teach their future children?
What... what kind of incredible skill is this?!
