Chapter 44 Killing Chickens and Monkeys

Not long after Alan and the others returned to the city along the secret passage, the other two soldiers also returned.

After inquiring about the "battle results" and finding that there were no surprises, Alan nodded with satisfaction.

Then they went up to the walls and observed the current condition of the fishmen.

On the other hand, the previous move to block the secret passage did not give up, but was also preparing, after all, it is not absolutely certain that the fishman's excrement will have an effect, and if it is not good, it can be remedied in time.

The soldiers involved in the wall-pasting went up to the wall one by one with Allen's consent, and together with Allen, they stared at the strange fish-man army.

From the city walls, it was clear that the countless fishmen were still the same as before, hesitating to break away from the large army, and then slowly approaching the entrance of the secret passage.

And the fish people who first noticed the anomaly had already walked more than half the way.

Probably because they were getting closer and closer, those fish-men were significantly faster than their previous sluggish appearances, and some of them even let out a strange howl, causing the other fish-men to speed up!

Under the nervous gaze of everyone, the fish-man who was like a torrent of ants kept running towards the entrance of the secret passage, getting closer and closer, and getting more and more angry.

There's no intention of stopping!

Just as Eren clenched his fists and prepared to implement the last line of defense, a change appeared!

I saw that the fish, who were originally full of anger, suddenly seemed to smell something unbearable, and they all screamed.

It was too far away for Alan to see the fish-man's current expression. However, judging from the sound of the call, their "face" is not very good-looking.

It was at this moment that the soldiers above the city walls breathed a sigh of relief.

The fishmen advanced two-thirds of the way, and finally suddenly turned back, the fishmen in the rear kept approaching, and the fishmen in front turned and turned back. This caused a certain amount of chaos, and the chaos lasted for a long time, but as the smell of excrement mixed with fish and human eggs became heavier and heavier, the chaos slowly eased.

Without the inducement of the fish-man roe-like smell, the fish-people once again rushed to the walls of Bay City with red eyes. It's just that these fishmen who broke away from the original team did not return to their original places, but ran to the city wall in the nearest straight line.

It's barely a side effect.

The situation under the west city wall is developing well, and there are few people, and people from the other two city walls are reporting the situation one after another, which is similar to here, except that the fishmen who have broken away are slightly more troublesome.

However, it can be regarded as a successful victory through this difficulty.

Seeing that the situation was calm, Alan turned around and ordered Barry: "Inform the mercenaries that they can go out again, and if they don't believe it, let them send a representative to the city wall to observe." ”

"Okay. ”

Barry nodded, then asked, "What about the remaining pirates?"

Alan thought for a moment and said, "Where? I'll go talk to them." ”

Barry wants to lead the way, but because he has just passed the difficult time, he has a lot of aftermath to deal with, and he is rejected by Alan.

A soldier led the way, and it wasn't long before he came to the pirate who was being imprisoned.

In fact, although the pirates said that they were imprisoned, they were not kept in prisons, but were supervised nearby.

The prison guards could not hold this group of heroes of the sea, so they could only be guarded by soldiers, but because of the crisis outside the city, the soldiers did not dare to go too far.

The pirates were now surrounded in the square in front of a chapel in the business district, and a ring of soldiers in hard armor outside was staring at them vigilantly, and the slightest anomaly could cause a burst of cheers.

The pirates weren't too scared, though, as they had seen the fish-man eggs all over the tunnels before they retreated from outside the city, so most of them guessed why they were being detained, and in fact, they wouldn't even be back to Bay City if they didn't have nowhere else to go.

At this time, the ocean is full of dangers, and the surrounding area is full of crazy fishmen, compared to this city that is likely to be broken by fishmen, it is already the safest place.

The pirates weren't very scared from the outside

If Bay City is broken, they are dead, but if it is not broken, but the lord blames them, they will not escape, for this kind of fate, they are used to seeing life and death crises, they are really used to it.

It's just that what you think in your heart is not something that others can understand.

Alan's arrival caused them to stir up, but the commotion lasted only a short time as the soldiers continued to shout.

An old pirate wrapped in a turban asked loudly, "Lord boy, are you here to kill us?"

Despite his seemingly fearless appearance, Alan could still hear a certain emotion in his slightly trembling tone.

Alan smiled slightly, and said under the staring gaze of more than two hundred pirates: "I guess you have already guessed what is happening outside, that's right, your peers want to use the fish-man eggs to attract the fish-people to attack the secret passage, and then break the defense of Bay City, their intentions are very sinister, and it can even be said that they are crazy, but unfortunately they are destined to disappoint, Bay City has already passed this difficulty!"

Hearing this, both the soldiers who guarded the pirates and the pirates themselves breathed a sigh of relief, either explicitly or covertly.

Needless to say, the soldiers are here, and the destruction of the city means the destruction of the family, and the same is true for the pirates.

Paying no attention to the emotions of the people around him, Eren continued to the pirates, "I could have killed you all, but I didn't want to do that. Although you are all pirates, you are just outcasts and taken advantage of, and I don't like to kill, and I don't kill innocents indiscriminately, so I can still tell the difference. ”

"As a betrayer, I think your hearts are also full of anger, and naturally you can't do anything to that group of people right now, but when the fish-people fade, I hope you can cooperate with me...."

Alan walked in front of the pirates as he spoke, and before he could finish his sentence, a sudden change occurred!

"Die, bastard!"

A pirate suddenly burst out of the crowd and came in front of Alan in a few steps, his face flushed, his eyes burning with rage, and the dagger hidden in his hand stabbed him in the chest at a rapid pace!

His outburst was so sudden that the soldiers around him and even the pirates didn't react much, and only had time to let out a burst of exclamation.

Alan was also a little confused, but his reaction was not slow, when the pirate was close, he made a dangerous mistake, and then reflexively followed the force to kick it.

"Bump!"

The pirate staggered and was kicked to the ground, then lost a second chance to attack, and a group of soldiers threw him to the ground!

The subdued pirate kept struggling, his eyes staring at Alan with hatred: "You lucky bastard, you killed my son, as long as I don't die, I will kill you sooner or later!"

Alan, who was suddenly interrupted, was a little puzzled, and he looked at the other pirates: "Does anyone know who his son is?"

The pirates were silent for a moment, and a young pirate whispered:

"His son's name is Jason, and he is also a pirate, and he was killed a while ago because of his rebellion against your soldiers. ”

"Okay. ”

Alan touched his nose, a little unsure of what to say.

Although he was inevitably depressed by the sudden assassination, this time compared to the previous time, this time it was quite excusable, so he didn't seem to be very angry.

However, if you are not angry, you are not angry, things still have to be done. Alan only hesitated slightly, and then ordered at the soldier, "Send him to his son." ”

"Yes!" one of the soldiers replied, drawing his sword and stabbing the pirate assassin in the chest, and the pirate collapsed to the ground as he cursed.

"Does he have any other relatives or friends?" the dying pirate suddenly heard these words, and couldn't help but widen his eyes with anger and wanted to scream, but unfortunately, this only accelerated the pace of his death, and he died after a while.

As for Allen's question, the pirates looked at each other, and no one wanted to answer the question.

However, after Alan took out a bag of money that emitted a crisp sound, this silent silence was immediately broken.

"He also has a younger brother and a younger son who lives at 33 Bread Street in the residential area!"

One of the pirates got ahead of everyone and quickly said the news, and then under his overjoyed gaze, the money bag was thrown by Allen.

The pirates around him looked at him enviously, and some of the pirates looked remorseful, blaming themselves for being one step behind.

As for the previous rabbit death and fox sorrow, they have been unconsciously left behind. When pirates are all profit-oriented, no one cares about one more or one less companion in the world except for those close to them.

Although this colleague can be regarded as an acquaintance.

On the contrary, the initiator Alan has a kind of cat crying rat idea, after all, he has been baptized by the civilized society in his previous life, and he still has an instinctive resistance to such a thing as killing, but he has no regrets, he even plainly ordered the soldiers to go and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and there is no soft-heartedness at all.

This also made the onlookers feel awe-inspired, a little frightened by Allen's obvious revenge.

Alan sensed the pirates' mentality, and he said softly:

"I have never been stingy with those who have helped me, and not long ago a black hand pirate told me of the misdeeds of the pirates, and I rewarded him with two hundred gold coins on the spot, when in fact I had only those two hundred on me, or I could have more. ”

Alan lied to the numbers without blushing and heartbeat, but none of the pirates doubted his words;

Although the lucky pirate just now didn't know how many gold coins he had obtained, he would not be less than twenty if he listened to the voice, and it was just a piece of information that was not secret, and he could give more than twenty gold coins, not to mention the information related to the survival of Bay City.

"Two hundred gold coins!"

"I don't have to fight to die, this money is really easy to make, enough for my life..."

The pirates have different expressions, but they are basically inseparable from greed. Alan nodded in satisfaction when he saw this.

He believes that after this move of buying bones and horses, if there is such a thing that is harmful to him, he will definitely not be as passive as today.

Not only these pirates, Allen believes that with the fermentation of time, today's events will definitely spread rapidly in Bay City and even surrounding cities.

At that time, Allen's generous name and ruthlessness will definitely make many people who want to go against him think carefully.

"It's just that the gold coins are spending a little fast. ”

Although he is not the kind of person who cares about wealth very much, he still has a feeling of distress when he throws money one after another.
