Chapter 19 "Bloody Hands" Hallett
Without the command of the captain, first mate and boatswain, the remaining illiterate sailors who may not even know how to read would naturally be unable to organize effective resistance.
Not to mention organized resistance, many were frightened and jumped directly into the sea water, hoping to swim across the shallow water to reach the beach.
But without exception, they were killed by crossbow arrows.
Generally, the swimming speed of human beings in the sea hardly exceeds the limit of 100 meters per minute.
One minute is enough for the crossbow to fire several rounds.
In addition, it was just in time for low tide, and the corpses and dark red blood quickly stained the sea surface red.
As for the remaining guys who did not jump into the sea and tried to resist, after seven or eight people were hacked to death, they all knelt on the ground and chose to surrender.
After all, there are more than two hundred pirates, including ferocious and terrifying monsters like hobgoblins and ogres.
The former are not like their relatives, the goblins, who are a group of chaotic, stupid, timid and destructive pests.
They are militaristic (anti-harmony) nationalists who are about the same size as humans or slightly taller, are proficient in various weapons and armors, and can command their subordinates to impose prohibitions.
The hobgoblins have a very strict hierarchy.
Some human rulers from the evil camp will even recruit them as officers to join their armies in order to improve the combat effectiveness and obedience of the soldiers.
As for the latter ogre, just its tall and strong body, which is close to the size of a giant, is enough to make humans who face it despair.
These guys who will eat any creature they encounter are three meters tall and weigh more than 150 kilograms.
Just the destructive force of throwing the stick down can easily kill a strong horse.
Looking at the young sailor on the deck of the merchant ship who has only four limbs left, his torso almost turned into a pile of rotten meat, and only one of his kidneys that flew out is still intact, you will know that the power of the ogre is definitely not Ordinary people can contend.
While the captured sailors were squatting on the deck and shivering, waiting for their fate to be pronounced, the pirate captain "Bloody Hand" Hallett finally appeared.
Different from the rumored ferocious expression, he looks very handsome, about forty years old, with refreshing short hair and a goatee.
The overall design gives people a feeling of maturity, vicissitudes and wisdom.
Hallet was wearing a white shirt made by Am and a dark blue captain's coat.
On his legs was a pair of black pants of unknown material.
On his feet were a pair of brown waterproof leather boots.
Wearing a three-cornered hat.
The most important thing is that the two weapons hanging from the pirate captain's belt are very special.
One is a very luxurious-looking scimitar, with a sparkling blue gem the size of a quail egg inlaid at the end of the handle;
The other is the complete opposite, an inconspicuous dagger. The whole body is dark and non-reflective.
If nothing else, they should all be magic weapons.
The moment Hallett stepped on the deck of the merchant ship, all the pirates, whether they were humans, orcs, hobgoblins, or those not-so-smart ogres, raised their hands and spoke loudly in Common Tongue. chanted.
“Welcome the great Captain Bloodhand!”
"Under your leadership! We have successfully captured prey on the sea again!"
"You are the supreme ruler of this sea area! The uncrowned king!"
"Oh oh oh oh! ! ! ! ”
There is no doubt that this man has won the support of his men.
Some guys even worship him fanatically and are proud to obey every order he gives.
Hallet was already familiar with such small scenes and immediately nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job! Now, bring the son of the owner of Roldan Chamber of Commerce. I can't wait to hear what he said after learning the truth. , wailing in pain and despair. "
"Uh... Captain, we have searched the entire ship and did not find the son of the owner of the Roldan Chamber of Commerce, not even this one. The captain, first mate and boatswain of the merchant ship are all missing," a hobgoblin explained carefully. "What? You mean they ran away!" Hallett's eyes instantly flashed with a chilling light.
The hobgoblin did not answer the question himself. Instead, he pulled a captured sailor out of the crowd, pulled his hair and threatened fiercely: "If you don't want to If you die, just repeat what you just said. Remember, if you make a mistake, I will cut off your tongue."
"Don't...don't kill me! Cut my tongue! The owner, captain, first mate and boatswain left us in the small boat and fled by now."
The human sailor was obviously frightened, and he shook out everything he knew.
Especially when he mentioned the captain, his face was full of anger and hatred.
"Abandoned the merchant ship and valuable cargo and fled to the island? It seems that this time the target is smarter and more decisive than we expected." Hallet commented, stroking the beard on his chin.
"Captain, what should we do now? Land on the island to search?" the hobgoblin asked in an uncertain tone.
After all, just the cargo under your feet is already worth a lot of money.
He even wanted to take the ship and goods back and sell them to black marketeers, and then get his share of the money to drink and have fun.
If you go to the island to search, it would be extremely difficult to find four people hiding with more than two hundred pirates.
You may search for several days without any results.
But Hallet responded without thinking: "Of course we have to go to the island!
Do you know how huge the assets of the Roldan Chamber of Commerce, which has been passed down for generations, are?
< br>
Do you know how many merchant ships they have and how many trade lines they control?
The income from this operation is simply not comparable to that of a mere shipment of goods.
Leave some people to guard the prisoners and ships, and all the rest go to the island.
Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find Bernard. "
Following the orders from Captain "Bloody Hand", the pirates jumped on the boats and rowed hard, heading towards the beach not far away.
No one realized that they were not the only ones on the island, as well as the four guys who escaped from the merchant ship.
There is also a planeswalker and the creatures he summons.
......
"Businessmen? Pirates? Chases and battles at sea? It's a bit interesting..."
Zuo Si, who was hiding in the bushes, watched everything that just happened In his eyes, a look of interest appeared on his young face.
He did not rush to contact the four people who landed in the boat first, nor did he rush to attack the pirates. Instead, he planned to find out the truth behind it first.
To put it simply, it is to hide in the dark and watch the show.
When the time is right, decide to show up to help one of them, and then take a smooth sailing boat to leave this desolate and uninhabited island.
After formulating an action plan, Zuo Si stretched out his hand and gently touched the leopard lying behind him, and said in a polar voice: "Let's go, Red. It's time to hunt. Let's catch it first A few prisoners, figure out the identities and purposes of the two groups of people."
"Roar!"
The leopard let out a low roar, its two yellowish eyes revealing excitement and anticipation.
Although it did not understand the meaning of the entire sentence, it understood the word "hunting".
One person and one leopard quickly disappeared into the dense woods, weeds and shrubs.
After a while, the three human pirates who gathered together to search were targeted.
