Chapter 62: Liberation of Cancer Island
"What are you talking about, Captain, they're all dead?" Bright was shocked on the Blood Shark Pirates' ship.
"Yes!" the pirate who offered to surrender was called Wood, who was standing on the sailboat of the Blood Shark Pirates, facing the pirates' questioning.
Brett was a little incredulous, although he had a different philosophy from several pirate leaders, he didn't want them to be killed by other pirates and then endanger the entire Cancer Island.
"Tell me more about it, what the hell is going on?" Bright was a little anxious, "didn't they go to rob an island with a population of only three hundred?
Wood 1510 told Bright exactly how to invade Crescent Island and how the war happened.
"You're saying they have a powerful weapon that explodes, and that's how you were defeated by it?" Bright frowned as he walked up and down the deck.
"Why did they let you here?" Bright asked.
Wood whispered, "I asked to come here, Captain Bright, surrender! β
Surrender?
Bright was a little incredible, this pirate in front of him actually helped the other side to persuade him to surrender?
"Impossible!" Bright seemed to be greatly insulted, "there are only dead knights, no knights who surrendered." β
"Captain Bright, we are really not their opponents, and the regimental commander is dead, more than three hundred people are all dead, and only more than fifty brothers are still alive, all of whom have been captured by them. Wood said anxiously that he had his wife on the island, who was pregnant, and he was afraid that Donner would go on a killing spree.
"I said it...... There are only dead knights, no knights who surrender?" Bright said word for word.
Although Bright is now reduced to a pirate, he has always looked down on pirates in his heart.
Bright was a commoner child who dreamed of becoming a knight fighting for glory since he was a child, so he chose to become a servant of a noble child.
He followed the children of the nobles, and learned etiquette, horsemanship, swordsmanship, tactics, etc., together from an early age, and he did even better than that nobleman.
However, because he was born as a commoner, he could only be a servant, and that noble child was born a nobleman, and there was nothing he couldn't get if he liked something, so the beautiful wife who loved him was insulted by the greedy noble child.
Bright was furious and stabbed his son to death with the knight's sword given to him by the noble lord, and then ...... He was wanted by his lord and eventually fled to sea.
On Cancer Island, his superb swordsmanship is unmatched, and no one is his opponent, including the head of the Blood Shark Group, and slowly he became the deputy head of the Blood Shark Pirate Group with his own strength.
Becoming a pirate, he never forgot that he was once a knight, he always adhered to the idea of his heart, graceful and merciful, glorious and righteous, and was the only pirate that the inhabitants of the island did not hate.
But today, a pirate made him surrender? And to a group of pirates?
Impossible, absolutely impossible, this is the greatest insult to him.
Brett said coldly, "Return to Cancer Island! β
Although Bright was angry, he was not stupid, since he knew the strength of the other side, of course he knew in his heart that at sea, if the number of people was not superior, one ship could not defeat two ships.
And, there is a mysterious weapon on the other side?
But once back on the island, Brett is confident that with the walls of Cancer Island and his own tactics, he will be able to wipe out this group of arrogant pirates.
"Commander, they turned around and went back. Aboard the Unity, Matthew reminded.
Donner nodded, he watched every move on the other side!
"Okay, let's use force to liberate Cancer Island!" Donner said to Matthew, "Start full speed ahead, target Cancer Island." β
The ship's crew began to get busy, the helmsman pulled the rudder, and several pirates quickly climbed onto the cable to adjust the sails.
The sails were blown by the sea breeze, and the two ships broke through the calm sea and headed for the bay at full speed.
In less than half an hour, the two boats sailed into the bay and arrived at the pier of Cancer Island.
The dock was empty, and the sailing ships of Cancer Island lowered their sails and anchors, removed their rudders, and locked the ship to the docks with a huge chain.
This is...... Afraid that you and others will steal the ship?
Donner is now in the helm tower, looking at the city wall a kilometer inward from the pier, a little funny?
Is this what the pirates relied on? Too naΓ―ve, the rock walls no more than five meters high tried in vain to block the pace of liberation?
But...... It is indeed a troublesome thing, there are no siege equipment, and for ordinary pirates, it can be regarded as a moat.
Donner touched his chin, thinking that if he captured Cancer Island this time, he would have to get the artillery out.
Figures swayed on the walls, and Bright arranged for his pirates to carry rocks and logs up the walls, and the archers took their positions.
Donner had Jason stay on the ship with his slaves, hand out weapons to the pirates on board, and walk up to the docks under the watchful eye of the liberation team.
Theodore left his bodyguard and a dozen sailors on board to watch over the other half of the pirates, while the rest disembarked to assist the liberation group.
Donner called the two pirates out and handed them the explosives bag and the fire source to the two: "You two put these two things at the city gate, light the rope and immediately retreat, don't be afraid of the bows and arrows on the wall, we will cover you." β
"As for the others. Donner glanced at the other captives, "If you want to live, you have to take a second test, and when the lower gates are opened, take them for me as soon as they are opened." β
"Of course, you can rebel and flee back to the city, to return to the pirates, but the muskets behind you will no longer be merciful, and if we break through the walls, you will die. β
The pirates bowed their heads, not daring to make eye contact with Donner.
Donner continued: "Also, you should remember that your regimental commanders were all killed by your own hands, and I believe that the people on the city wall will not let go of any traitor either, so put away your careful thoughts, and don't leave anything to chance." β
The pirates didn't say anything, and to be honest, many of them did have this idea, and these people didn't want to join the liberation group at all, because the training of the liberation group was so hard.
Accustomed to being loose pirates, they simply can't stand this harsh way of training, but in the face of death threats, they have to obey.
If they had a choice, they would have chosen to flee, but Donner's words shattered all their illusions.
"So...... Let's go. Donner stared at the walls.
The pirates, holding their wooden shields, began to slowly advance towards the city walls, covering the two pirates so that they could reach the city gates safely.
Within range of bows and arrows, archers began to be collected on the city wall towards the liberation regiment, and Mike and the others also fought back with arquebuses.
"Bang!"
Gunshots exploded, the war of liberation ...... Here we go!
