Truckloads of supplies were carried to wooden boats, followed by a rush of men with torches.

"Have you brought it all?"

"I've brought it all, and I've burned it if I can't take it away. ”

Under the torches, everyone looked at the castle in the middle of the island, and at this moment the fire was full of fire, and black smoke billowed from the sky.

Jiang Yi sighed lightly, then turned around, looked in the northwest direction and shouted, "Let's go!"

The wooden boat raised a small sail and slowly drifted towards Keyun Island in the northwest direction. In this dark night, it is best to describe it as a lonely boat.

Early in the morning, the soldiers of Chongtian Island quickly finished breakfast, and then walked towards the castle in the middle of Sea Shark Island with a blank face.

Stomp, stomp!

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, from far to near, and a middle-aged man dressed in cloth pulled the reins tightly in front of the army, jumped off the horse and knelt down on one knee to salute.

"The last general, Nigel, has come to surrender!" said the middle-aged man, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Captain, why are you here?" A rather excited shout rang out from the rear of the army, and Rhys hurried towards Nigel, but was urgently stopped on the way by several Chongtian Island soldiers with a slight trace of worry in their eyes.

Rees shook his head, signaling that it was okay, then ran to Nigel's side and helped him to his feet.

"It's a long story. Nigel stood up and elaborated on what had happened after Jiang Yi's defeat yesterday.

As for why he didn't follow Jiang Yi to Kaiyun Island, he took out a letter, "After I received your letter from Chongtian Island, I was quite curious, what kind of magic power is there in that place that can make you stay willingly. ”

"After such a thought came up, I also had a trace of wanting to go over and have a look, but some time ago, Jiang Yi blocked the coast, and no one was allowed to go out, and I was no exception. ”

Hearing this, Rhys felt a lot of emotion for a while, especially after learning that Jiang Yi had fled to Kaiyun Island, he seemed to have lost something in his heart. It's like a general leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack the city, setting up countless tactics, but when he was about to break through the city, the enemy army fled in the wilderness.

Those tactics that have been conceived day and night naturally cannot verify their quality at this moment, he sighed lightly, not knowing what to say, and then picked up Nigel and said: "I will take you to see Lord Xiao Li, as for the result, I don't know, but I will intercede for you." ”

The temporary tent of the palm house built on the coast, Xiao Li was munching on dried fish and cultivating at the moment, and after hearing the news of Jiang Yi's escape, he just nodded lightly, as if he had expected it. However, when he saw Rhys helping a middle-aged man over, he looked over curiously.

Seeing a stranger coming, the guards of the camp took aim with crossbows and bows to prevent accidents.

"Nigel, the former patrol leader of Sea Shark Island, meets the owner of Xiao Li's island!" said Nigel with one knee down and saluting.

Before Xiao Li could speak, Rhys immediately bowed to him and pleaded for Nigel: "Lord Xiao Li, Captain Nigel can obviously follow Jiang Yi to Kaiyun Island, but he stayed behind because he wants to join Chongtian Island and serve you, my lord. ”

After speaking, Rees took out the letter, handed it to Xiao Li, and briefly explained the purpose of delivering the letter in the first place.

Xiao Li shred the letter completely after a brief glance, and nodded at Nigel, "Chongtian Island welcomes you to join!"

"Thank you, Lord Xiao Li, but I want to start over. Nigel continued, "I heard that there is alchemy on Chongtian Island, and I want to learn alchemy. ”

"Alchemy?" Xiao Li glanced at Ris strangely, although he didn't know how he described physical chemistry at the beginning, but seeing that Nigel was interested in this area, he nodded and agreed.

He was already having a headache about how to arrange Nigel, and it stands to reason that he has a lot of experience in leading the team and should be put into the army. But because it's an outsider, it's hard to solve the problem of trust.

Now seeing that Nigel himself took the initiative to study physical chemistry, he nodded without the slightest hesitation and agreed. I don't expect him to achieve anything, as long as he can settle down.

......

After Nigel surrendered, the patrol of Sea Shark Island automatically surrendered without the attack of Chongtian Island's army, and was imprisoned in a large palm house.

Rhys and Nigel carefully interrogated the prisoners, and because they had already surrendered, Nigel was not polite, even if it was his former subordinate, who was still sentenced to a heavy sentence if he made a mistake.

Of the patrol of more than 700 people, only more than 500 people were acquitted in the end, and the remaining 200 or so were still sentenced to heavy sentences by Rhys and demoted to serfdom, although they only committed some minor crimes.

Now Chongtian Island is short of labor, and Harriman reminded him many times before leaving, asking him to bring back a group of criminals to use to build Chongtian Island.

He glanced at the serfs in the palm house, smiled and nodded with satisfaction, he didn't feel any burden in his heart, it was a matter of course in this world, and not killing them directly was enough to make them grateful to Dade.

The serfs are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the ones on Chongtian Island are the first-class, at least they can be fed and clothed, unlike the miners on Kaiyun Island, who are so thin that there is only one skeleton left.

After judging the patrol, Rhys led the team to surround the four families of Sea Shark Island, and then broke down the door and brought all the members of the four families to the tent on the coast, waiting to be released.

"It's a pity that Oreo didn't follow. Xiao Li sighed lightly, he naturally knew that Oreo had been driven out of the house, and his family was here at the moment. If he's here, he might be able to see a good show.

Maybe there is, maybe not, but who knows?

"Xiao Li Island Master, our Zhang family is not guilty! I am inseparable from Jiang Yi's bastard, more than ten years ago he robbed our Zhang family of dozens of taels of gold, I have always held a grudge, our Zhang family is really innocent ......"

"Lord Xiao Li, I am the second son of the Eddie family of the Keton Kingdom in the Western Continent, and I came to Sea Shark Island for various reasons, but I have never committed a crime or endangered Chongtian Island. Of course, we will also atone for our sins with gold. ”

"Lord Xiao Li, I'm Oreo's father, Oreo's sake, for Oreo's sake......"

There were constant voices of cries and begs for mercy in the tent, and no one admitted their faults. They may or may not have it, but what does it matter to him?

Xiao Li shook his head expressionlessly, turned around and came to the beach, and said to Rhys behind him: "Find out the crimes of all the families, if there is a crime, the family property will be confiscated and executed, if there is no crime, it will be banished, but the family property will ...... You know how to do it, right?"

With a smile on his face, Rhys turned around and went to the tent to collect evidence.
