Chapter 128: on the island

"Take aim at the warehouse on the pier, hoping there will be something flammable inside."

Hope Captain Quick ordered the gunnery officer to do so.

After the barrel cooled down, a new batch of solid shells were also burned to a bright red color, and they were quickly loaded into the barrel and shot out.

Soon, a fire was ablaze on the pirate's dock.

The pirate leaders who were still in the meeting just now came near the pier and watched the whole process of the warehouse on fire.

The old pirate said angrily, "Why hasn't the white flag been raised yet?"

A minion reported with a sad face: "The brother who sent the order just now entered the warehouse to find a piece of white canvas. Unexpectedly, that strange ship also aimed at the warehouse. It seems that the brother can't get out."

"You guys! Immediately prop up the white things you can find and wave them vigorously, and make sure they notice them."

…

The officers on the Hope soon saw the movements of the pirates on the pier through binoculars.

A large group of people took off their white clothes and tied them to sticks, waving them constantly. Some even took off their white underpants.

"They...look like they want to surrender."

"What to do, Captain? Do you want to stop the shelling?"

Quick stroked his bushy beard and thought carefully. It would be good for the pirates to surrender themselves. Although the head of the enemy is not exciting before the battle starts, but it must be a great achievement to be able to force all the enemies to surrender with a single ship. .

"Hey, everyone who is still repairing at the base, I, Quick, will not be polite."

He hammered his palm and ordered: "Stop shelling!"

Then he ordered: "Close to the pier! But keep a safe distance, who knows if they are pretending to surrender."

"Yes, Captain!"

…

Seeing that the opponent stopped attacking, the pirates on the shore heaved a sigh of relief.

The Hope began to approach the pier, and the pirates shouted to the sea: "We surrender! We surrender!"

However, the other party stopped not far from the pier, and the hearts of the pirates suddenly rose to their throats.

But I saw a small boat was released from the strange boat, two people sat on it, and slowly rowed towards the pier. The other party was really cautious.

The two people landed on the shore, but they stood on the trestle bridge without moving.

A group of pirates were about to surround them, but old Donoghue hurriedly stopped them: "We all surrounded them, what should they do if they think we are going to hijack them?"

He sighed, "You guys stand here, I'll go and talk to them."

…

When Donahue came to the trestle, the two Lords of Al immediately aimed something like a fire stick at him. He knew that it was a deadly weapon that could shoot projectiles that could easily kill him. The pirates in the Northwest Bay The mention of such a weapon is frightening.

"Are you trying to surrender?" one of them asked haughtily.

Although the other party's tone was not kind, but now is not the time to save face, Donoghue weighed his words and said cautiously: "Yes, two lords from Arda, you have won, we have lost, and now you can dispose of us as you please. gone."

It would be a bit ridiculous to talk about surrender conditions in this situation, so Donoghue simply went all out.

The two Ardas left the trestle and came to the land, and Donahue followed them.

"Okay, now I will pass on our captain's order, immediately gather all of you, come over and throw the weapons you carry here." The marine soldier pointed to the ground under his feet.

"This is basically all of us. Oh, the slaves are not brought here. I'll let them come over and turn in their weapons."

The marine soldier pointed to the not-too-distant place again: "Then squat down on the flat ground with your hands on your head."

"Two...squatting on the ground with your head in your hands?" Donoghue's face flashed a sullen look, such a shameful posture, isn't it too bullying?

The two marine soldiers noticed the change in his expression and shook the muskets in their hands.

Seeing the muzzle of the black hole dangling in front of him, Donald could only say: "Okay, we will follow your orders."

…

A group of pirates squatted on the ground, and two navy soldiers counted the number of people, a total of 87 people.

Then they signaled to the ship that all was well, and the Hope slowly docked at the pier.

Quick and several officers led more than 30 people to the shore, and the sailors armed with muskets guarded the surrounding area while surrounding the pirates.

"Isn't that Chief Quick? Hey, Chief Quick, do you still remember me?" Someone recognized Quick, the former pirate leader, and stood up, trying to get close.

The sailor standing next to him kicked the standing pirate and shouted, "Be honest, this is our captain!"

All the pirates looked at the naval captain who was circling around them, and soon there were sounds of surprise and whispering.

Especially those leaders, the Loach Gang had a lot of dealings with the former Quake Gang, and many people knew the leader, Quake.

Due to the relatively high mental outlook of the officers and soldiers in the Arda army, coupled with the long-term queue and military posture training, Quake's temperament has changed a lot compared to when he was a pirate, and the beard on his face is no longer unkempt. He is messed up, but neatly trimmed. If it weren't for the carefree look in his eyes, others would have thought he was a gentleman from a good family.

Therefore, those pirates who knew him did not recognize him at the first time.

"I didn't expect the rumors to be true!"

"Quick actually surrendered to the nobles? Doesn't he hate those parasites the most?"

The voices of the prisoners became louder and louder until a gunshot of "Peng" silenced them.

Quick put down the musket that was still smoking, and said loudly: "The pirate head you know is dead, and now standing in front of you is the captain of the battleship Hope of the Arda Navy. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"Tell you, our army of Arda has always been lenient towards prisoners, as long as they don't do evil... eh? Go and see what's going on there?"

Quick just wanted to publicize the new captive management content issued by the staff to the captives, when he suddenly found someone sneaking in the distance in the woods, he immediately ordered someone to check.

A few sailors left in response, and soon they came back, holding a few half-grown children by their hands.

"Let us go! We are not bad people." Several children kept shouting.

The sailor reported to Quick Salute: "Report to the captain, we have caught some little pirates."

"You are the pirate, and your whole family is a pirate!" The children countered with aggrieved faces.

"Let them go! You are not pirates, who are you?"

While rubbing their strangled wrists, the boys hastily reported their identities: "We were taken to the island by pirates, and they used us as slaves, please save us."

"Calm down, calm down, at least let me know your names and where are you from?"

One of the brown-haired boys said: "Are you Arda's army? My name is Alan, his name is Tom, and his name is Pine. We are all from the village of Little Horn in Scano. The pirates sacked our village and robbed us. Come to be slaves. There are still many kidnapped slaves on the island, from all over the northwest. Can you take us back to land?"

Scano? Quick knew that it was a coastal earldom south of Arda.

"Boy, take us to the place where the slaves are held, and tell them that Earl Greyman's army has come to rescue them."

Quick waved his hand proudly.
