How large is the population of the Port of Vilia?

Barr is not sure about the specific number of people, but judging from the official brief statistics of 500,000 last year, the population of the Port of Villa can be at least three or four times higher.

Why did Barr calculate this way? Because the official population of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom in the Port of Vilia is limited to civilian areas and noble areas, and slums are not within their statistical scope.

Obviously, the only people who are officially recognized by the Magnetic Drum Kingdom are the only people who live in civilian and noble areas.

As for places like slums, which are basically smuggled and chaotic and disorderly, they are not officially recognized by the government.

However, not counting the people in the slums does not mean that these people are no longer living in the port of Villa.

On the contrary, people living in slums have several times more population than those in civilian and noble areas. Slums occupy the largest territory of the city of Vilia Port. People living in slums have an extremely strong sense of existence in slums. They are also an important cornerstone for maintaining the daily life of slums.

In the era of great pirates, port cities like Port Villa that can maintain good order in great routes, be extremely prosperous and not be violated by pirates are undoubtedly an excellent safe haven.

It is like a shining pearl in the first half of the Great Route, constantly releasing its unique charm and attracting a large number of people from other countries of the Great Route who yearn for a stable and a better life.

This situation immediately caused the number of foreign population in the Port of Villa to increase sharply. Even though the official forces have been vigorously cracking down on smuggling, the number of foreign populations smuggling still increased at a firm and rapid speed, and could not be stopped.

However, most of these smuggled people are displaced by pirates in other places. They belong to the proletariat. They may have a skill, but they are not officially a state-owned identity and are obviously difficult for them to find a good job here and will be exploited.

Therefore, most of the smuggled people lived hard in the port of Villa and could only live in slums that were chaotic and disorderly without the protection of urban guards.

But even so, basically none of these people are willing to leave the city.

Because the Port of Vilia is already the most stable and prosperous city they have ever seen, there is at least no need to worry that the property they have earned with hard work will be suddenly seized by the pirates overnight and then die miserably. Those abominable pirates in their impression dare not be arrogant here at all.

This alone is enough to make the people who are deeply poisoned by pirates on the great route willing to take root here.

Therefore, the Great Pirate Age had just begun eight years ago, and the area of ​​the slums located in the eastern part of the Port of Vilia has expanded by about seven or eight times compared with before the Great Pirate Age, occupying more than 60% of the city area of ​​the city of Vilia.

Haiyuan Calendar January 12, 1508.

After Barr came to the Kingdom of Magnetic Drums, after more than three months of hard work, he finally successfully gained a place among the Ram Gang, the largest gang force in the Port of Vilia, and became a small leader of the Ram Gang in the slum control area.

After inexplicably receiving friendly condolences and thoughtful swordsmanship from the cheap master Reggie yesterday, Barr came to the largest stronghold in the slums early the next morning, holding a box of Holden's favorite high-end spirits.

At this time, thanks to his ability to regenerate, after a good night of rest, his injuries were healed.

However, he was still wearing a bandage to cover up his eyes and pretending that he had not healed his injuries.

The incident of Barr's killing of Harrett and Clark in the Sword has long been spread throughout the Ram Gang. In addition, most newspapers in the city wrote Barr's incident on the dock yesterday into today's newspapers, and Barr's fame has been completely spread in the port of Villa.

When Barr came to the gate of the stronghold, many members of the Ram Gang quickly assembled at the door, respectfully invited Barr, the new little leader, to come in, and told him that Lord Horton was inside.

Holden, the Ram gang came to guard the top cadre of the slums. This is the third time that Barr has seen him in the slums.

However, compared with the last time he saw him, Horton was more dangerous than before, with a heart-wrenching aura all over his body and a strong smell of blood.

In the warm room, there were many new injuries on his naked upper body, and one of the penetrating injuries was a few centimeters away from his heart, which shows how dangerous it was.

During this period, Horton had clashes with other gang members almost every day. There were probably hundreds of dead souls who died under him. This did not include the pirate who accidentally hit him and died at his hands. He ended so many lives with his own hands, and the repeated life crises have made the highest cadre of the Ram Gang even more tyrannical and bloodthirsty.

"Sure enough, fighting is the one who trains the person. This guy's aura is much stronger than when he first met. He should have the strength of the naval colonels who went to and from the holy land Mary Joel. I wonder if I can compete with him after using the domineering spirit of the eyes and hearsays."

Barr lowered his head and felt the message coming from Holden, thinking with a serious expression.

The power of domineeringness is difficult to master, and it is generally only possible for the strong people in the new world to master it.

Especially the domineering spirit of seeing and hearing, even ordinary lieutenant generals of the Navy headquarters do not have this kind of power, because this domineering spirit requires severe stimulation from the outside world to be able to awaken, and requires a certain amount of talent.

On the contrary, the armed and domineering spirit is the only way to train it through appropriate systematic methods, and basically all navies at the Shanghai Army headquarters and above can master it.

Barr has been trying to master the domineering armed spirit according to the method Hancock taught him at the time, but he has never been able to succeed. He has never been able to feel the life energy flowing in his body as Hancock said.

In this regard, Barr believes that this may be because his physical fitness has not yet reached the standard of practicing armed color domineeringness.

After another month of exercise, his three attributes have been improved, his physical strength and strength have reached 28 points, and his agility has reached 25 points.

The later he went, the more difficult it became to improve his physical fitness. Barr had already clearly felt that the attribute improvement brought by combining the Nine Snake Body Refining Technique and Sword Training for life-long training every day was getting less and less.

I have to say that Han Cook is a super genius. She has mastered the domineering nature of the three colors at such a young age. If she hadn't been forced to eat the sweet fruit and put on high-purity sea tower stone shackles, she would have been able to escape from the Holy Land Mary Joel.

Horton was of course one of the highest cadres of the Ram Gang, and his strength was of course real.

At this time, Barr judged from his breath alone that Holden was already a strong man comparable to the colonel of the Navy headquarters. I don’t know if he still had the domineering spirit of the two-color.

If he mastered it, even if it was one of them, he would only be killed in confrontation with him now.

Therefore, when Barr saw Holden, he still maintained a respectful and obedient expression and greeted him in a friendly manner. He lowered his head in front of the immediate boss, showing a submissive attitude, giving him enough face in front of other Ram Gang members.

But even though he acted so respectfully and obediently, his immediate boss still didn't give him any good looks, and even suddenly attacked without saying a word.
