Chapter 357: The Pirates Are Coming (9)
After killing Sandro in the boulder camp, Scar Man led his men and horses to besiege the arsenal again, but this time under the command of Sandro Adjutant, the soldiers of the island escort team stayed in the arsenal and resolutely did not come out, Scar Man couldn't break through the defense of the arsenal even after rushing a few times, seeing that the casualties on his side were not small, Scar Man had no choice but to retreat to the dock with his men and horses first.
At the island dock, Arthur, who was becoming more and more unable to calm down, quickly asked him how the situation was after seeing the scar man, after the scar man said it concisely, Arthur's heart rose with an ominous premonition, and at this time Leonard didn't know where to run, there was no news at all, the scar man whispered to Arthur: "Otherwise, let's retreat first?" ”
Arthur shook his head, smiled bitterly twice and said to Scar Man, "From the moment we left the Golden Islands, we are destined to have no turning back, unless we can find that person surnamed Han." ”
"But Lord Arthur, the deeper those islanders go, the more difficult it is for us to find people, there are still troops of the British Empire on the island who will be ready for us at any time, the longer we stay here, the more dangerous it becomes, even if we can't go back to the Golden Islands, it's a big deal for me to find another place."
Arthur shook his head again, "You're thinking too simply, where can so many of us find a place like the Golden Isles to live in?" Besides, we're notorious pirates, and only remote places like the Golden Isles are safe havens from the great empires. ”
On the flagship of the Imperial Advanced Expedition fleet, the secret team sent by the Pioneer Ship brought back Sandro's body, looking at the subordinates who had fought side by side with him, Duke Jackson almost couldn't hold back his tears, of course, this is an actor's self-cultivation.
Duke Jackson was a famous barrister before coming to the planet Landis, and after coming to Landis, he became a high-ranking duke, according to the established character script, he once led the army to fight in the north and south when he was young, and made great achievements for the British Empire to open up territory, but these things are just the plot in the character script, the so-called southern and northern wars of the year do not exist at all, not to mention that Duke Jackson was not actually affected by the alpha chip, Therefore, there is no so-called revolutionary friendship between Sandro and him, and if there is anything that will make Duke Jackson feel a little sad, I am afraid that Sandro can only be regarded as a loyal subordinate or pawn.
Looking at Duke Jackson's superb acting skills, the other imperial magnates present did not dare to go up to comfort easily, only Duke Thomas patted Duke Jackson on the shoulder and said: "The person is dead, don't be too sad, he is a soldier of the empire, and it is also a great honor for him to sacrifice to defend the territory of the empire." ”
General Voguson also said: "Although I am not very familiar with this commander, but he died for the sake of the Empire, and I will definitely ask Her Majesty for a commendation." ”
Duke Jackson shook his head and sighed to the sky, "Alas, people are dead, there is no point in any awards, I only have one appeal now, that is, to throw all those damn pirates into the sea to feed the sharks." ”
According to the information collected by the secret team, the islanders on Paradise Island are basically all hiding in the depths of the island, and there are no hostages in the hands of the pirates.
At the docks of Paradise Island, Arthur took his men to the depths of the island after giving some explanations, and the pirates who stayed at the docks breathed a sigh of relief after Arthur left.
One pirate said to another, "What did you say we came to Paradise Island for?" I don't think there's anything to rob on this island, so let's go and rob merchant ships if we're so excited. ”
Another pirate said, "Who knows why, you say that we have come all the way here, and if we don't get anything in the end, isn't that a fool's errand?" ”
"You can't talk nonsense, if Lord Arthur or Lord Leonard hears it, we will all die."
"Don't worry, they're not here now, by the way, do you think we should go around now? Maybe you'll find something of value? ”
"Well, that's fine, we can't go home empty-handed, right?" , A few pirates chattered for a long time, and were just about to go to the search, when suddenly there was a burst of noise from the dock, and then a shout was heard: "There is an army!" There is an army! ”
The pirates who stayed at the docks looked at the sea, and three tall warships appeared on the sea in the distance, because those three warships were the most advanced warships of the British Empire, and they looked so majestic from a distance, compared to the pirate ships docked at the docks, they were not worth mentioning.
Because Leonard and Arthur were not there, the pirates who stayed behind immediately fell into chaos, whether they were ready to fight back or escape, everyone did not have a unified opinion, hesitated and panicked, a cannonball whistled, and then exploded near the dock, and this cannonball instantly destroyed the pirates' only little psychological defense, they didn't think much about it, and ran to the depths of the island.
Looking through the telescope at the scene of the pirates fleeing in a panic, the imperial magnates on the flagship were very proud, and Duke Philip said meaningfully: "This group of pirates is really a rabble, they have no combat effectiveness at all, how can they flee in the desert with just one shell?" Tsk, I don't know how they took Paradise Island so easily before? ”
Of course, Duke Jackson could hear the cynicism between Duke Philip's words, but at this time he didn't have the heart to quarrel with him, in Duke Jackson's opinion, defeating these pirates was an easy thing, but the question was what to do after that? I don't know if the arsenal has been exposed now, if it hasn't been exposed now, will it be exposed in the process of encircling and suppressing pirates later? How can it be explained if it is exposed?
Looking at Duke Jackson, who was preoccupied, Duke Thomas suddenly glanced at him and said, "I've been standing here for a long time and I'm a little hungry, Duke Jackson, should we go to eat something first, and go to the island to watch a good show after recuperating our spirits?" ”
Duke Jackson nodded, and the two returned to the cabin.
As soon as he entered the cabin, Duke Thomas asked Duke Jackson, "Are you worried about the Arsenal?" ”
Duke Jackson nodded, "If the arsenal is discovered by Philip, it will be difficult to explain. ”
"Don't worry too much about this, when the time comes, you can put all the blame on the subordinate you died, anyway, the person is dead, how can you say that it is not up to you? Have you ever thought that we could use these pirates to make a good fuss? ”
"Take advantage of these pirates?" Duke Jackson frowned and asked, "You mean to use these pirates to ......."
Before Duke Jackson's words were finished, Duke Thomas smiled and nodded, "It's not difficult to shoot a fly flying around, but if you use your own hands, although the flies can be swatted to death, your hands will also be dirty, but if you can have a fly swatter, wouldn't it be the best?" ”
Duke Thomas was not so direct, but Duke Jackson understood what he meant, and he walked back and forth a few times with his head down and his hands behind his back, and finally suddenly stopped and snapped his fingers loudly.
