Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Beginning of the Land (I)

On the south side of Blackreef, the whole area is filled with gunsmoke, and there are collapsed buildings everywhere, and in a small building that was supposed to be used as an observation deck, several pirates sit on chairs and sofas that have been moved from nowhere, around a campfire, salivating at a roast sheep above.

Several pirates carried two men who were tied up with flowers, and when they reached the crowd, they slammed the bound men to the ground.

"Captain Guy!" one of the pirates who had just entered the house called out to the pirates sitting across from the gate, "the town's resistance has been destroyed, but the women and children in the town are almost gone, and there is not much of value. ”

The pirate captain named Guy was tall, with a fleshy face and a scar from the corner of his mouth that stretched across his cheek and up to his ear, giving him a weird smile all the time.

Captain Guy was holding a long wooden stick and fiddling with the campfire, he seemed to have some experience, and he was not surprised by the report of his subordinates, and after a rough guess, he thought of the reason: "I guess this town has encountered other pirates before, so the young man is almost dead, but because of this, he has some experience, women and children, as well as valuable things, should have been taken out of the town and hidden." ”

After guessing at his subordinates, Guy looked at the two townsfolk who were lying on the ground, and they were looking at him in horror: "You heard what I said, we came all the way here, not for a few bags of flour and a few fat sheep, tell me, where have all the people in the town gone?"

Neither of the townsfolk spoke, but their faces were full of fear, and Guy smiled at this, pulling the burning stick from the fire and slowly reaching out to the face of one of the young townsmen who looked to be no more than ten years old.

The young townsfolk tried to dodge, but he was so sturdy that he could only squirm on the ground, but he was trampled by a pirate leader next to him, and he could only tilt his head back, hoping in vain to distance himself from the fire sticks.

Guy's fire stick slammed directly into the young townman's face, making a sizzling sound, but the sound was drowned out by the young townman's screams, and he twitched like a dehydrated fish.

Guy quickly put the stick back: "Even if you don't say it, this island is so big, we can find people slowly, but if you do, not only can you suffer less, I can also let you on the boat, and you are also entitled to a share of the possessions and women you find next." ”

The young townsfolk who had been burned by the burning sticks were sweating profusely, and their mouths were unconsciously dripping saliva on the ground, as if they had not listened to the pirate captain.

Seeing this, Guy reached for the stick again, this time targeting the young townspeople's eyes.

The young townsman felt the approaching heat, and a spirit came back to his senses, and hurriedly cried out loudly, "I said, I said ......." ”

Before he finished speaking, another middle-aged man next to him, who was also tied up and had been silent, suddenly shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

Guy glanced at the middle-aged man who was angry and ordered one of his men, "Take him out and kill him." ”

When the mature middle-aged townsman was dragged out, he was still yelling at his companions who had been left behind, "Don't believe them, don't say anything!"

It was just that he was dragged outside the house, and after a gunshot, the sound stopped abruptly.

The young townsman who remained in the house trembled for a moment, and Guy crouched down in front of him, and said in a bewitching voice: "You are still so young, do you want to die like this? As long as you say it, you can get on my ship, and when you get on the pirate ship, you will know what it means to be truly free, and you can enjoy happy feasts every day, food, wine, and beautiful women, as long as you become a pirate, you will find that you will not lack these." ”

The young townsman's face was blue and red, and he didn't know whether it was the pirate threat or the demagogy that played a role, but finally he said with difficulty: "There is a hill outside the town, and there is a cave on the back of the mountain, and the people who escaped...... Should...... , should all be there. ”

After the young man finished speaking, two lines of tears were left on his face uncontrollably, but Guy didn't bother to pay attention to him, and kicked a pirate leader who was still staring at the roast sheep: "Hear me, bring a group of people to 'invite' everyone to me." ”

"'Please'?" asked the pirate leader, a little sluggish.

Guy let out a strange laugh: "I don't care about the men, not a single woman is allowed to be hurt, bring them all to the square in the center of the town, I will choose slowly." ”

……

Looking at the crowd of pirates, armed with knives and guns, and their malicious eyes passing over the young townsfolk from time to time, the tavern's hostess, Mary, had a look of despair on her face.

Mary held her daughter Isa's hand tightly, and now her only hope was that her daughter would be safe.

The crowd composed of the elderly, weak, women and children was escorted by the pirates to the square in the center of the town, and almost all the members of the pirate group gathered here at this time, and when they saw the women in the crowd and the packages they were carrying, they couldn't help but whistle frivolously.

Captain Guy of the Pirates, with his arms around the shoulders of the informant young townsman, stood at one end of the square, and waited for the crowd to be brought to the middle of the square, before he let go of the young townsman, who had been cowering, and came to the crowd.

The gray-haired, thin and tall mayor walked out of the crowd tremblingly under the interested gaze of the pirate captain Guy, came to him, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, all the valuable things in the town are here, we will give them all, please let us go, we have nothing extra to give you." ”

"You've been found by me, and the things are naturally mine, and you still want to send me away with my own things?" Guy sneered, and he pointed his finger at the crowd in a virtual circle, "Besides, who said you don't have anything extra for me and my men?"

The mayor of the town turned pale, and Guy had no interest in teasing, so he said viciously: "If you don't want to die, just get out of the way!"

With a casual push, Guy pushed the mayor to the ground, and without looking, he began to pace slowly around the crowd, like picking cattle, his eyes scanning the disgraced women.

Guy's favorite part of the raid is this, the helpless civilians are like lambs, shivering in front of the predators at the top of the food chain, waiting for him to decide their fate.
