CH.412 The Battle of Treasure Diamond Island (Part I)
Sunlight shone into the room through the windows, forming pillars of bright light that illuminated Elizabeth's blonde hair. She was looking at the personnel list in her hand, which listed the number of troops sent and the number of people left behind.
One-Eye stood across from her, waiting for Elizabeth's answer. As soon as Elizabeth nodded, he was ready to march with his troops.
This time the dispatch of troops is not trivial, One-Eyed will take a total of 3,000 people, after they leave, the garrison of Dragon's Nest Island will become very empty, so be cautious before setting out.
Elizabeth read the list and asked, "Will you bring a little less people?" There were also 3,000 garrisons on Diamond Island, and more than 20,000 indigenous slaves. With only a few people like that, it's hard to win. ”
One-eyed said calmly: "At least more than 3,000 people must be left on Dragon's Nest Island to garrison, otherwise, I will not be at ease when I go on an expedition." Although the number of soldiers I brought with me was about the same as that of the Diamond Island, we had a plan of battle, and if the plan was successful, we would definitely be able to capture the island. I'm still very confident about this action. ”
Because it was difficult to capture Treasure Diamond Island, everyone pondered and meditated on a set of battle plans, which took a total of five days. One-eyed set out on this expedition, not to attack, but to outwit.
"Well, since you say so, I won't give you more troops." Elizabeth held out her hand to One-Eye, who was stunned for a moment, and then also held out her hand. Holding hands together, Elizabeth said, "I wish you all a triumphant return." ”
"Lend you good words." One-eyed said in a deep voice.
Elizabeth's hand clenched slightly, and she said sincerely, "On behalf of Donk, thank you for giving a lot to the pirate group, but you have never asked for anything in return. ”
"I'll say thank you to Donk and you'll see each other, you don't have to." One-Eye withdrew his hand, "If nothing happens, I'll order troops now." ”
Elizabeth nodded in agreement.
One-Eye walked out of the conference room, and the team leaders who had been waiting outside for a long time hugged him. One of them dropped the cigarette butt on the ground and asked, "How?" Are you ready to go? ”
"Let's go. This time when you go to sea, you must plant the flag of the Evil Dragon Pirate Group on the land of Treasure Diamond Island! "One-eye opened his eyes, and the netherworld fire in his left eye was tumbling and tumbling, like a ball of blue fire.
The fleet of the Dragon Pirate Regiment set off in a majestic manner, with a total of thirteen ships, the flagship led by the Flame and the rest were ordinary ships. In addition, there are two dragon eagles soaring above the fleet, and there is a mixed team of sea beasts and a small chapter of the heart-snatching ammonite beast at the bottom of the sea to escort them.
There are more than a dozen ships left on the island of Dragon's Nest. and the third-order magic ship Wave Treading Knight, if it is not attacked by a big force, it will still be able to protect itself.
The pirates and natives of the island watched the fleet leave, and most of them showed a look of concern, but only one remained cold.
"Huh? You look very faced, which squad are you in? One of the pirates asked the man in confusion.
"Oh, I'm new here, so you haven't seen me. I'm under the command of the One-Eyed Boss, but I don't have my share in this expedition, because I've only been a pirate for a short time. It's so bad. The man quickly changed his kind expression, scratched his head and smiled.
"That's right." The questioning pirate was not suspicious.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, and after standing in the crowd for a while, he slipped away without noticing. He moved away from the complex on the shore. When they arrived in a dense forest, they climbed a tree with great dexterity. Leaning against the trunk of a tree, he took out the pen and paper in his arms, and sneakily wrote a text, which he stuffed into a metal letterbox.
When he had done this, he climbed higher up the tree, took out a cage from among the leaves, and released the Eagle inside. …,
The black eagle flapped its wings and stretched out its head very spiritually.
The man tied the letter to the eagle, patted it on the body and said, "Baby." Go and send the letter to Commander Alem, and I'll be leaving in a boat tonight. ”
Xun Ying flapped his wings and flew away at a low altitude.
……
It's about to rain, and black clouds are pressing down on Diamond Island. As if some kind of foreshadowing.
In a large and splendid house on the island, Steadmiral was eating. As the supreme ruler of the island, he eats all the delicacies. Grilled chicken, steaks, pancakes with sugar sauce and fruit salad are on the table, each with a delicate aroma that will make you feel like you're drinking.
"Hmm......" The sound of swallowing saliva rang out.
Sturt raised an eyebrow and glanced at the man at his feet.
It was a little girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, a strange tribe between orcs and humans. Her palms have thick brown hair and her nails are sharp. She has a fluffy tail on her hips, similar to a dog's tail. This race is because of its appearance. It is vividly called the canine clan by outsiders.
The little girl looked up at Ster, pleading. Her appearance was originally very ordinary. Coupled with the fact that the cheeks are sunken due to hunger, it looks even more ugly. Around her neck, a chain of shame was attached, and the other end was wrapped around the leg of the table.
She was originally the daughter of the tribal patriarch and had a high status, but that was a long time ago, and she was now just a plaything for Ster.
"Rice basket coffee, do you really want to eat meat?" Sturt shook the oil-dripping chicken on his fork and asked with a smile.
The little girl named Mi Basket Coffee could only nod her head to express her hunger because of the language barrier. Her stomach rattled with hunger.
"Very well, if you want meat, come to me as a pet dog should do. Otherwise, don't want to eat. Sturt said with a smile in lingua franca. He had a playful look in his eyes, and as a nobleman in his early forties, his expression was fascinating.
The guard and interpreter who is fluent in the local language reminds you in the local language: "Hurry up and learn how to bark as a dog, as long as you please the 'god', he will reward you with food." ”
It's not been a day or two since Mi Luo Coffee pretended to be a dog, she lowered her head to sort out her emotions, closed her eyes sadly, and barked in a low voice: "Wang! ”
"It's too quiet, and it doesn't look like a dog at all." Sturt stuck out his foot and picked up the chin of the rice basket with the tip of his shiny boot, "If you can't even be a dog, don't worry about eating, you can't please my people." There is no meaning to live. ”
The guards translated the original words truthfully.
Mi Luo coffee bit her lip, a tear appeared in her eyes, and she slowly swirled.
"Wang! Prosperous! Prosperous! This time he barked louder and raised his head, sticking out his tongue like a dog, and flicking his tail behind him.
"Hehe, that's like words." Sterda was delighted, cut off a piece of chicken, and threw it on the ground.
The rice basket pounced on it, gulping down the piece of meat.
"Tell her not to forget to wag her tail when she eats." Sturt commanded.
"Yes." The guard sighed secretly. Again translated Sturt's order.
The rice basket endured the humiliation, wagging his tail while eating with tears in his eyes. Although her race has tails, this race has human intelligence, not animals!
For Sturt, bullying the rice basket is just a little game to pass the time. After eating, he picked up his napkin, wiped his mouth very gentlemanly, and thought about the next entertainment. He can practice archery with the local natives as targets, and he can also abuse the dog women who are a little more attractive. …,
Just as Stert was hesitating about this, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door was opened. Three people walked in, and two soldiers were escorting a canine native on the left and right.
"Daddy!" After seeing the person in the middle, Mi Luojia cried out in a lost voice.
The man in the middle looked to be in his fifties, and he looked very old. If there is no brown hair on the back of the hand. and the long tail in the back, he is no different from an ordinary Terran old man.
His name is Miye, and he is the original patriarch of Diamond Island, but now he is only one of the slaves, and he can occasionally speak for the majority of slaves, but only this little power.
"Mi Luo Coffee, how are you doing?" Miye asked with a trembling expression.
"I'm having a bad time, this god of the gods often insults me, I want to leave him and return to you." Mi Luo said with tears and tears.
The island's natives have never seen the world. I don't know what culture is, and after seeing the muskets in the hands of the soldiers of Ankara, I thought that the heavenly soldiers were going down to earth, and I always regarded the people of Ankara as gods and feared them. Because of this ignorant thinking. As a result, the natives of the island did not dare to resist and allowed the Ankara State to drive enslavement.
Situations such as Diamond Island were not uncommon in various colonies, and some empires could even control an indigenous tribe with a few hundred men. In fact, the natives were far more numerous than the soldiers, and if they resisted, they were fully capable of changing the lives of the enslaved, but they did not take that step.
There are many reasons for the emergence of colonies. Indigenous ignorance is just one of them.
"Daughter, hold on. I'll talk to them and beg them to let you go. Miel rushed forward. Grabbed her daughter's hand and comforted.
"I couldn't hold on anymore, he would find a way to torture me every day and make me dress up as a dog." Mi Luo Ka cried.
"What are you doing here?" Stert interrupted the conversation between father and daughter and asked with a cold expression.
Miye wiped away her old tears, stood up, and replied in lingua franca: "I want to negotiate!" ”
After a few years of contact, Miye had mastered a handful of the "language of God."
"What are you bothering me for? Let's talk about it. Although nine out of nine percent I won't say yes. Stern said excitedly.
"Women and children can no longer work in the mines. They can't stand it. Miye added, "Please." ”
"No, one more person means more work, and the work progress will be faster, and more ore will be dug up for me and Ankara." Stern flatly refused.
"They have children in their wombs! If you're too tired, you'll die! More than 50 women have died in the past few years. ”
"So what? There are so many people who die every day in the world, should I sympathize with everyone who dies? The lives of you canines are worthless, and if you die, you die. If you are lucky, those who die may be reincarnated into a noble race in the next life, which is a good thing. ”
"That's human life! Shouldn't God have mercy on the world? Miye knelt down and begged.
"Unfortunately, I am an evil god, and I have no extra mercy for you." St waved his hand, "Alright, get the hell out of here." I've already thought about what's going to happen next. ”
"Please, don't be so cruel."
"Huh? You'll have more and more words, even cruelty can say," Stern raised an eyebrow, "Your progress has given me a new understanding of the intelligence of the canine people. Now it looks like you're much smarter than the pigs. ”
"Please, grant my request, and the men will take over the jobs that the women have left behind."
"Needless to say, it doesn't really have much to do with the workload, I just like to see you guys live in dire straits." Sst stood up and said with a grim smile.
Miye tilted his face and saw in Sturt's eyes a cruel look that no one could have
