Chapter 11 Dunbu Village

After dinner, the virtuous girls from Dunbu Village had already cleared the table. Gel said that if the hardworking and beautiful sisters also wanted to stay on the boat, he would fully support them. However, they all had parents and relatives at home, so after thinking about it, they all rejected Captain Gel's invitation.

Gel found some tea in the captain's room and sat on the deck with everyone else, drinking tea leisurely.

"Captain, where are we going next? Can we send these children back to Mump Village first?"

Fate put down his teacup and asked.

"Haha, Uncle Fate, don't worry. In fact, we have already been heading in the direction of your village. If nothing goes wrong, we should be there soon."

In fact, Gel had asked A Da and A Er to move in the direction of the recording pointer early in the morning. The speed of a boat pulled by sea beasts is much faster than that of a boat pulled by sails. A Da and A Er can reach the distance that a sailboat would take a whole day to reach in just a few hours.

When the girls nearby heard that they could go home soon, they all showed happy smiles on their faces.

"Haha, it turns out the captain had already decided to send them back from the beginning, and he was reluctant to say it because he was waiting for me to take the bait."

Fate also understood and said with a smile.

Things have passed and he doesn't care about the trap that Gel set for him. Getting on board was a voluntary decision he made after careful consideration, and Captain Gel did not force him.

Gel took a sip of tea and said in a scoundrelly way:

"I really have no choice. Uncle, the food you cook is so delicious. Do you know how we have been on the deserted island for more than a year?"

"Weibull and I have agreed long ago that the first thing we must do after setting out to sea is to find a chef to join the ship as a crew member. You are the first one I met when I set out. Don't you think this is fate? If you don't agree, I guess Weibull will tie you up on the ship."

"Hahaha! Maybe it's God's will. From now on, every meal of yours will be taken care of by me!"

"That's great!"

...

The first half of the Grand Route

Dunbu Village, Buling Island

"Get out of here! Don't stop me! I want to save Ali and the others! If you try to stop me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

At the dock, a young man with a crew cut and wearing a navy uniform was arguing with dozens of villagers along with several other young marines.

"Stop it all!"

A powerful and majestic voice came.

Everyone followed the sound.

The person who came was an old man with white hair and beard. He was walking slowly towards the dock with a cane, followed by a large group of people, all of whom were villagers from their village.

"village head!"

"Hello, village chief!"

When the two parties in the dispute saw that the person coming was the old village chief, they stopped temporarily. A smart thin man quickly stepped forward and tried to support the old village chief.

The old man was a little stubborn and refused to be supported. He pushed the man's hand away and insisted on walking by himself.

"Village Chief! Tell them to get out of the way! Ali and the others have been captured by pirates! It will be too late if we don't chase them now!"

The young man with a crew cut was still very emotional. He pointed at the villagers around him and shouted:

"You bunch of cowards! The pirates have kidnapped our loved ones. It's fine if you don't dare to resist, but why are you trying to stop me from rescuing them?"

"Shut up! Kule!"

The old village chief was so angry that his beard was shaking up and down. He angrily knocked on the road paved with colorful cobblestones with his hands and scolded the young marine named Kule who was leading the group:

"You're the most amazing! You're the bravest! All the rest of us are cowards who dare not resist!"

"I...that's not what I meant, Village Chief!"

"Shut up!"

"You Kule, and the rest of you! You all came from our village and became sailors! Now you're wearing these uniforms, so what a big deal?"

"When the pirates were raiding, you didn't come to protect us! Instead, now that the pirates have left, you come here to teach us a lesson! You are really impressive! The brave Marine First Class Kule!"

"us…"

Kuler was speechless

The old village chief looked painful and continued to scold:

"You said we dare not resist?"

"Ade's brother, Ergouzi's father, and several other villagers are now lying in the hospital, dying! And your uncle Fit was also captured by pirates while trying to save people, and his life or death is still unknown!"

"Everyone here is as angry as you, Kule! They held you back because they didn't want you to die in vain, not because they don't have the courage to fight the pirates!"

Kule and several other marines were also made to feel ashamed by what the old village chief said.

Seeing that Kule's excitement had calmed down a little, the village chief patiently persuaded him:

"It's not that we don't want to save the people who were kidnapped. My little granddaughter was also kidnapped! We all feel the same as you! But people should know their own limitations! That's a big pirate with a bounty of more than 2 million. What can we, the unarmed villagers, do even if we chase him? Will we risk our lives to make the pirates use up more bullets?"

"As the village chief, I can't let you die in vain!"

After such a series of righteous speeches, even the old village chief, who was full of energy, had to pat his chest and calm down a little.

"But you don't have to despair. We have already thought of a solution."

"Is there any other solution?!"

Upon hearing this, Kule suddenly looked up at the old village chief!

A glimmer of light appeared in his originally dim eyes, as if a drowning person saw a life-saving straw.

Others who knew about it in advance also showed expressions of relief.

Everyone listened to the old village chief continue to say:

"We sold everything we had overnight to collect 1 million berries, and sent it to the navy base this morning. Captain Miledy has personally promised to use the 1 million berries as a reward for the soldiers, and will send troops to help us rescue the villagers. He is a senior officer from the navy headquarters, so he must have a way to deal with those damn pirates."

When the old village chief finished speaking, he wanted to see whether this reckless young man had learned a lesson from his own cunning tricks. However, he did not see the expression of surprise on Kule's face as he had expected, but a look of fear and despair.

"Clap!"

Kule felt as if all the strength in his body was drained away in an instant, and he could only kneel on the ground helplessly.

He had just come from the navy base, and Miledy had already returned to her villa with two women who sold their bodies but not their skills. There was no way she was leading the navy to fight against the pirates.

He felt as if he had guessed some truth, but the content of the truth made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

He had been wondering why the pirates attacked the village just when they were out on patrol under Captain Miledy.

Why was it that on the way back, when he was on duty in the watchtower and clearly spotted a pirate ship, he was scolded by the captain when he went to report it, saying that he was dazzled and reported the wrong military intelligence, and he was also strictly told that he would be demoted if he did it again next time.

Why, after returning and hearing that their hometown had just been attacked by pirates, several marines from Dunbu Village requested to go into battle, but the captain ordered the warships not to attack on the grounds that the situation was unclear.

Now add to that the absurd statement that the navy needs to collect money before sending troops to catch pirates, which is unheard of.

"how so?!"

"How could this happen! Doesn't the navy represent justice?"

He didn't know how to explain this matter to the village chief and villagers.

The navy they trust and place their hopes on may very well be in cahoots with the pirates!

There will be no navy to rescue their abducted families!

People are not easily deceived, but when they are desperate, they would rather choose to believe lies to hold on to the last glimmer of hope!

Even if everyone can rationally choose to believe what he says, then what?

They still could do nothing and could not save their loved ones. Captain Miledy was even afraid that if the truth was revealed, he would probably join forces with the pirates to stage another pirate robbery of the village in order to wipe out the entire village.

"Power! All this is because I'm too weak! I can't even protect the girl I love!"

"Clap, clap!"

Kule knelt on the ground, tears dripping onto the ground in front of him. His ten fingers dug deeply into the soil. He hated his own weakness so much in his heart that he even thought that he deserved to die for always being lazy during training!

If I were given another chance, I would...

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret or if in this world!

Ali~my Ali! No! Ali must still be waiting for me!

She must be very scared now!

You must be more desperate than me!

I can't fall!

Ali, please wait for me for a while, I will definitely rescue you.

Thinking of all the good things in the past, the beautiful figure that haunted his dreams became his only belief and supported this man to stand up again.

Seeing Kule continuing to run towards the dock like a madman, everyone forgot to stop him for a moment.

……

on board.

"Hey Sister Ali, everyone, come over here and take a look. We can already see Bu Ling Island!"

Someone on the boat shouted:

Upon hearing this, the girls, who were away from home for the first time, ran to the bow and stood on tiptoe, trying to look.

"Where where?"

"Over there! Over there!"

"Wow, I saw that too! Is the Buling Island where we live so small? It's even smaller than my fingernail!"

The little red-haired girl raised her thumb in front of her eyes and gestured.

"Silly, that's because it's far away!"

Bi Ya patted her little head gently to explain, then put a monocular telescope in front of the little girl and motioned her to look inside.

This boat will be her home from now on, so Bi Ya can play with any toys at home.

"Hey! Sister Bi Ya is amazing! She's really grown bigger!"

...

Several people were crowded at the bow, chatting one after another. One of them, a girl with waist-length golden hair, touched the ring on the middle finger of her left hand and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

In the last second, I was still immersed in the helplessness and fear of being captured by pirates, but I never thought that I would be rescued in the next second. Now I can go home soon. I have been eating, drinking, chatting and laughing along the way. It feels a bit like I was on a trip to the sea.

“It really feels like a dream.”

The girl gently tucked her bangs, which were messed up by the sea breeze, behind her ears.

"Woof woof, woof."

The two sea beasts were not pulling the boat properly. From time to time, they turned back to interact with the girls at the bow. Ah Da even picked up a bunch of flowers from somewhere, which drew applause from the girls. After that, the two dogs performed even harder.

"Smelly licking dog!"

Gel was sitting nearby, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head and curse with laughter.

Then he walked away quietly, no longer paying attention to the playfulness of a group of young women and two dogs on the boat.

...

Dunbu Village

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"

A villager who was in charge of giving warnings came running anxiously from the direction of the dock. He held a wooden stick in his right hand and an iron basin for washing feet in his left hand, which he knocked against loudly. He ran and shouted:

"Not good! Not good!"

"Pirates! There are pirates! Everyone, run! Those pirates are coming again!"

Suddenly everyone was in an uproar and the scene immediately became chaotic!

Fortunately, the village elder was still strong and immediately dropped his crutches, climbed up a large bluestone, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Folks!"

"Folks!"

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the village chief cursed:

"You bastards, shut up now!!!"

The scene suddenly became quiet.

"Listen to me!"

"Don't panic! All men, grab your weapons, and women, take your children and go back home and hide!"

"Yes! Village chief!"

Only then did everyone find their backbone and take quick action.

"Where's Kule?"

The old village chief asked, this young man whose fighting capacity ranked first in the village is still worthy of the village chief's attention at such an urgent moment.

Er Gou replied:

"Someone said they saw Brother Kule rowing his fishing boat towards the pirate ship alone!"

"Damn it! That bastard!"

"Why is this guy so reckless and brainless! When will he be more mature and steady? He should just die! I'm so pissed off!"

The village chief cursed out of disappointment. In fact, he was very optimistic about Kule, a young man who was brave and hardworking. He had always hoped that he would take over his position as village chief and continue to protect Dunbu Village after he passed away.

Seeing that the old village chief was angry, no one dared to speak for Kule.

Soon, hundreds of able-bodied men in Dunbu Village came with knives, guns, hoes, shovels, brooms, frying pans and all kinds of weapons. The old village chief stood in the front, and next to him were the marines with guns.

Seeing the villagers behind him swallowing their saliva nervously, the village chief coughed, took out a loud speaker and shouted:

"Fellow villagers! These bastard pirates attacked our village in the middle of the night when we were not prepared! They killed and injured our villagers and took away our loved ones!"

"How long has it been? Less than two days! These bastards are back again! They think we are easy to bully! They plan to rob us every other day! If we don't unite and resist, how can we live here in the future!"

"Fight them!"

"Kill them all!"

"Hoohoho!"

"Damn pirates! They killed my brothers, robbed my wife and daughter, and destroyed my home! These damn bastards! Let's fight them here today!"

"Hoohoho!"

"Fight them!"

"Even if I die, I will take someone with me!"

The villagers were aroused and they gritted their teeth, holding their weapons and ready for battle, all with expressions of being ready to die.

I have to say that the old village chief knows how to boost morale.
