"Is it a fish that slipped through the net?" asked the man in a loud voice.

The man did not answer immediately, but looked at the sea for another minute or two, until the lifebuoy had been driven at a constant speed by the Mary, and there was no one to be seen from a hundred meters away, and then he turned back to the man.

replied categorically: "It should just be a lifebuoy that fell into the sea, but even if someone really escaped by jumping into the sea, the nearest island here is seventeen or eighteen nautical miles, and it is impossible to swim over without preparation!"

The leader nodded indifferently, and when the last group of companions in charge of exterminating the mouth returned, he ordered: "Mission accomplished, prepare for the lifeboat to leave here!"

As he spoke, he took the lead in the direction of the lifeboat, and then, more than 20 people took three lifeboats and slowly rowed towards the six boats in front.

As soon as he left two or three hundred meters, he heard "Boom, boom!" and a series of shelling sounded again, and at least half of the shells hit all positions of the Mary.

It turned out that the so-called bombardment battle before was completely intimidating and delaying, and if they wanted to hit or even sink the Mary, it would not be a difficult thing for these people!

And the purpose of this should be to trick the Mary into firing first!

Perhaps this so-called extermination mission took a long time, but it almost wiped out all the responsibility, and showed that he was the injured party under any evidence!

Could it be that the Principality of Gems will continue to trouble itself for a boatload of dead people who don't even have corpses?

After the lifeboat slowly approached the 100-meter range of the six boats, the boat, which had not been marked, also slowly raised a flag. On behalf of the black gold chamber of commerce, the pure black is the bottom, and the golden six-pointed star special flag is spread all over the flag!

After the group got on board, they waited for the other ships surrounding the Mary to converge before slowly sailing towards the main island of the Emerald Islands at a constant speed under the guidance of the flagship.

As for the blood and corpses that gradually drifted around the sinking point of the Mary, a large group of black shadows roamed faintly from all directions.

Tumbling, tearing, scrambling! gnawing!

In less than half an hour, the former calm was restored again, but the various wood fragments and lifebuoys that continued to drift away with the water waves were silently telling a sad and bleak story.

The first island chain of the Emerald Islands, the nearest inhabited island near the site of the incident is called Baiou Island. There are only a dozen or so inhabitants on the entire island, and these inhabitants are all disabled pirates who have recovered from serious injuries in a pirate war!

Neither possession nor the ability to fight again. If it weren't for the benevolence of some pirate groups and the best possible treatment for them, I am afraid that they would have become the rations of sharks in the nearby seas!

It's just that even so, in order to be able to enter the army of the Principality of Jewels, there is no reason for the pirate group to continue to support this group of waste. So, I found a random outermost island of the Principality of Jewels, and left this group of former heroes to fend for themselves!

In addition to relying on the island's extremely limited land to grow some food, this group of people occasionally receives relief from their former partners. Of course, there is a special way that is almost unknown and not even told to anyone except this group of disabled islanders!

You must know that this is the border of the Principality of Jewels, although the remnants of the fleeing pirates outside the country will not touch the Principality of Jewels. But if the opportunity arises, there will be occasional exterminating raids on certain passenger ships or cargo ships!

Just now, the residents of Baigull Island faintly heard the sound of shelling from the sea. Suddenly, everyone was gearing up!

Just wait, and when the pirates have left, the men will arrive on the scene in boats made from the timber of their own islands. With the diving skills I practiced in the early years, I can make some fish!

Sometimes the accumulation is too much, and those pirate friends in the past will also trade some good things for themselves and others.

"Tut, toot!" Three whistles sounded, and the residents hidden in the woods on the island watched a group of more than a dozen steel ships sail by one after another, and one of them was surprised to see the flag fluttering on the big ship: "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce? It's the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce from Dongzhou!"

"Is that the No. 1 Chamber of Commerce of the Golden Crow Country?

"It should be! Poor idiot! How dare you trouble the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce!

A group of more than a dozen large ships slowly sailed by, until they completely disappeared into the distant sea level, and then the group quietly came to a shoal somewhere on the north shore of Baiou Island.

Pulling back the protective layer of grass and rattan weaving, men and women, including some children as young as seven or eight years old, split into three or four people in a boat, scrambling to row north!

Lauren, the most ferocious hooker on Baigull Island, had diarrhea today, and after running to the toilet seven times in half a day, he gradually eased up!

He also heard the whistle of the big ship just now, but he was obviously unable to participate in the operation due to his obvious lack of physical strength.

When I was sitting on the soft sand on the west shore of Hakull Island, I sighed, but by chance I was attracted by the black spots floating on the sea not far away!

When I got up and looked closely, I vaguely saw that it was a half-human figure, and when I thought of the shelling from the north just now, I immediately thought that this could not be a corpse! Otherwise, it would have been torn to pieces by the shark that smelled the blood of the wound.

So, it's a living person? So do you have some gold, silver, jewelry, obsidian or something?

Thinking of this, Hook Lauren's whole person became excited. I thought that this time I could only watch others make gold and silver, but I didn't expect a big pie to fall from the sky and smash it firmly on my head!

In order to prevent the man from drifting away with the waves, Lauren immediately turned around and staggered north. At this time, where do you care about weak legs and weak feet because of diarrhea. Stimulated by the possibility of stealing money, Lauren made her way to the ship's cache at a slower pace than usual.

When the rowing boat caught up with the human figure, it was indeed a person! Hehe smiled and wiped the sweat dripping from his head and chin, gritted his teeth and pulled the man to the boat.

Turning over, he said, "Huh, crew, it's still a woman!"

This man is none other than Mary, who narrowly escaped from the ship!

Since she lived on the sea with her father since she was a child, Mary is much better at water than most. Dive directly for two or three minutes, and then surface until seven or eight hundred meters away from Mary!

The bloody aura left on his body was also washed by the seawater, and it had faded to the point that even sharks could not smell it! Because of this, he simply avoided the fate of being eaten.

It's just that on the way to flee for his life, he suddenly heard a series of roaring shelling behind him! In a sad and exhausted mood, he fainted when he saw the outline of the island in front of him.

Hook HandsLauren used the intact hand to gently brush Mary's delicate but pale cheeks. Then, with a dark smile, he slowly stretched out to his neck and collar!
