At the same time, in another place.

On a route to Jingtie Island, a fleet of ten ships is breaking through the wind and waves, plowing ten white waves rolling water marks on the rough sea. The ships carried the same flag, which depicted orc skulls wearing horned helmets.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense will recognize that this is a flag unique to the "Viking Orcs".

Around the fleet, several orcs rode on some kind of special shark, wielding simple and practical blades, accompanying the fleet.

The flagship of the flotilla was a large ship, more than a hundred yards long, with an elongated design, which still did not lose speed despite its size. Three stout bone masts stretched out to meet the rising sun, and the transoms on them shook out several fur sails to accommodate as much of the sea breeze as possible.

The bow of the ship resembles the skull of a mammoth, and it is surprisingly large, with two fangs bent towards the skull, replacing the ramming horns. There are dozens of closed gun doors on both sides of the hull, which shows that the ship is full of vitality. There are many, many painted patterns on the hull, and many of them are hideous and terrifying, and their meanings are unknown.

The whole ship has a savage and mysterious feel to it, exuding a wild atmosphere.

On the bow side, the word "Baige" is inscribed.

Bai Ge is the name of the ship, as well as the name of the leader of the fleet.

"Leader Bai Ge, please be merciful to your subordinates and let me go. I have given you all the cargo and the ship, and I have not put up any resistance, and I hope that you will give me a small boat for the sake of this, and let me row home by myself." An emaciated businessman knelt on the ground and said with a handful of snot and tears.

Opposite the merchant, sat two figures, both orcs, a man and a woman.

The male orc is a rare white orc, with white marble-like skin, extremely vicious, several scars on his face, and a half-bared fanged lip with a touch of curvature.

The female orc sat on the male orc's lap, wrapped her arms around each other's necks, and behaved extremely intimately. Her figure is not bad, much more slender than the male orc, convex and backward, and curvy. However, she was ugly, with a mouth full of short fangs and sharp teeth, and a bumpy face.

The orc woman wears a dress of ribbons, feathers, bones, and painted patterns, and looks like a follower of an ancient religion. Her neckline is slightly open, and it can be vaguely seen that there is no ** cover inside, it is vacuum.

The male orc is exactly what the merchant called Bai Ge.

Bego was the leader of the ship and the entire fleet, and the orcs in his arms were his wife, Gasha.

"Wasn't I about to take you back to Jingtie Island? Otherwise, where do you think our fleet is going? Bai Ge grinned.

"I—I don't dare to take your ride, so let me row back by myself." The merchant pleaded bitterly. Of course, he knew that Bai Ge was not as kind as he said, and the reason why Bai Ge drove him back to Jingtie Island was actually to force him to hand over his family property!

Not long ago, two ships led by the merchant were attacked by Bai Ge, a group of Viking orc pirates. Since they only had two ships, they could not be the opponent of Bai Ge's group of pirates, so they chose to surrender.

According to the rules of piracy, if the merchant did not resist, he could only steal property, not kill people and rob ships. This is a rule written in the Pirate Code, and is followed by many pirates.

The advantage of this is that unnecessary conflicts are avoided as much as possible. If the pirates are driven to extermination, the result is that every time they encounter a merchant ship, it will lead to a fierce and bloody battle, and even if they win, they will pay a heavy price. If you only rob money and don't kill people, over time, it will slowly weaken the resistance of businessmen.

Many well-known pirate groups will adopt this kind of raiding strategy, only stealing money, not killing people. When some merchant ships encounter these pirate groups, for their own safety, they often choose to break the bank and hand over their belongings obediently. In this way, the pirate regiment got the money without blood, so why not.

It's a pity that Bai Ge is not a pirate who follows the rules, or he does not follow the rules of the Pirate Code, but the rules of Vikings.

Vikings are the originators of pirates, the oldest of them, synonymous with cruelty, blood, and greed. Their rule is that there are no rules, as long as they can grab money, they can do anything.

Although the merchant had chosen to surrender voluntarily, Bai Ge did not intend to let the merchant go, and still took the merchant's two ships for himself, and pushed all the crew into the sea and fed the sharks. The reason why Bai Ge did not kill the merchant was only to extort the merchant's property.

Bai Ge forced the merchant to return to his home and give him all the property, and if the merchant did not cooperate, he would kill the merchant and his relatives!

The merchant had no choice but to obediently comply, and took Bai Ge's group of pirates to Jingtie Island. But before that, he still wants to try his best to see if he can change the fate of this tragedy to the extreme.

The request of the businessman, "it seems" to have worked.

"You want a boat from me?" Bai Ge asked with a wicked smile.

"Yes, show mercy and spare me for once. Give me a boat and let me go home. The merchant wept so hard that he kowtowed heavily on the ground.

"It's not impossible to give you a boat." Bai Ge's tone loosened a little.

"Really?" The merchant immediately looked up with a look of surprise on his face.

"Of course it's true, but it can't be given to you for nothing, you have to pay a little price."

"At what cost?"

"One finger." Bai Ge's smile became more and more cruel, "I'll give you a knife, you cut off one of your fingers with your own hands, and then I'll give you a small boat and let you row home by yourself." ”

The merchant froze, his surprise vanished instantly, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Cutting off his fingers was too difficult for him, or for anyone else. Ten fingers connected to the heart, how can it be said that you can cut it?

"This is your only chance, and if you can't, don't talk to me about rowing home. You can only follow my fleet to Jingtie Island, and then give all your possessions. Bai Ge said cruelly.

The merchant shuddered, he really didn't want to see the result, those family properties were all his hard-earned property, and he really didn't want to give it to others. And even if it is all given to Bai Ge, it may not be able to exchange for peace, and Bai Ge may still kill him at that time!

After a violent inner struggle, the merchant's eyes turned fierce, and he nodded, choosing to cut his finger himself. It's better to have one finger less than to lose your fortune and die.

"Give him a dagger." Bai Ge smiled.

The orc sailor next to him drew his dagger and threw it in front of the merchant.

Many orcs gathered around, staring at the merchant and smiling at the scene.

The merchant trembled and grabbed the dagger, clenched it slowly, and cried as he put his left hand on the deck, his four fingers bent so that only his little finger was exposed.

"Hehe, pretty smart choice." Bai Ge laughed. Gasha hugged him a little tighter and watched the show with him.

The merchant's tears were dripping down like pearls with broken threads. He raised his dagger, aimed it at his little finger, and after much hesitation, slammed it down.

The dagger was sharp and easily cut off the merchant's finger.

"Ahh The merchant screamed, dropped his dagger, and took the bleeding left hand, crying even more sadly.

"Well done." Bai Ge smiled and clapped his hands, called a sailor, and whispered to him. The sailor seemed to hear a very interesting order, and Haruha laughed out loud and took the order to leave.

The orc sailor, who had lent the dagger, walked up to the merchant and picked up the blood-stained dagger along with the severed finger.

"My dagger cannot be lent to you for nothing, this is the reward." The orc shook his blood-stained finger, then opened his mouth, threw his finger in, and ate it with relish, from which came a rattling sound. In ancient times, all orcs fed on people of other races, which was extremely barbaric, and although orcs rarely do this nowadays, there are still some orcs who occasionally eat people.

The merchant orc's chewing mouth was so frightened that he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at it again.

Bai Ge fulfilled his promise, and it didn't take long for the sailors to move the boat over. The boat can only accommodate about three people, with oars on both sides, and it relies on oars to move forward. For various purposes, sailing ships carry some of these small boats on board in case they are needed.

The merchant recognized at a glance that the boat was actually from his previous merchant ship, and that it was his own. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can get out of here.

"Alright, row your boat and get back to your Iron Island." Bai Ge waved his hand and glanced at the sailors.

Under the control of the orc sailors, the whole ship folded its sails and stopped. They roped the boat into the water, and then built a rope ladder on the side of the boat for the merchants to pass.

"Thank you, Leader Bai Ge, you are so merciful." The merchant thanked him again and again, but did not dare to stay any longer, but hurriedly climbed down the rope ladder and jumped into the boat. He didn't bother to treat his wounds, grabbed the oars, and rowed in the direction where the Iron Island was.

Bai Ge put down his wife in his arms, stood up, walked to the side of the boat, and smiled as the merchant rowed away. Will he let the fat sheep slip away? Of course not.

The merchant paddled as hard as he could, again and again, but before he could go far, he felt that the place where he was sitting became damp, and out of nowhere a lot of water came out.

Water?

The merchant's face changed suddenly, he vaguely guessed something, and hurriedly got up to check, only to see that there was constantly sea water surging up from the bottom of the ship, although the speed was not fast, but sooner or later the whole ship would be filled, and then pulled to the bottom of the sea!

The merchant immediately figured out that this must be Bai Ge's ghost, and Bai Ge ordered his subordinates to dig a small hole under the boat! Bai Ge didn't want him to row home at all, everything was just a scam, Bai Ge was deliberately tricking him into cutting off his fingers!

"Bai Ge! I'll fuck you! You son of a bitch, you actually lied to me and gave me a ship with a loophole! You must die a good death, and you will definitely go to hell after death! The devil will whip you 10,000 times a day with a flaming whip! Ten thousand times! Don't you want my possessions? Dream on! I won't give it to you even if I die! If you kill me, I'll never give you another penny! The merchant shouted angrily.

"Ha Luha, that's so interesting." Bai Ge listened to the scolding, not only did he not get angry, but he felt very happy. His happiness has always been based on the pain and despair of others.

Having said that, it was impossible for Bai Ge to let the merchant continue to scold, and it didn't take long for him to order the merchant to be recaptured, gagged, and imprisoned.

"Alright, set sail and continue on to Jingtie Island, I want to get that unfortunate bastard's property, and there are two ships in the fleet that should be repaired." Bai Ge waved his hand.

The Viking orc fleet set sail again and headed for the Isle of Iron.
