The gunfire and bombs gradually subsided, and the news of the victory soon spread on the island, and Theodore, Anderson, Yuri and others were finally relieved, especially Anna, who had been worried about Donner's safety all day.

This self-defense counterattack was a complete victory, and the two excluded a few people who were killed, and the rest were slightly injured. Nearly half of the hired sailors were killed or wounded, and Theodore's bodyguard also lost a few men.

The nearly 400 pirates who came to the menacing scene died more than 300 people, and threw a corpse on Crescent Island, and the remaining fifty or sixty pirates who were alive all surrendered.

The docks were in shambles, with blood dripping everywhere and many potholes that had been blown out by bombs.

Donner arranged for two teams to keep an eye on the pirates, let them bandage their wounds a little, and then continue to clean up the battlefield.

Donner led the men to bury his brothers' in the back mountain, and the corpses of the pirates and sailors could only be thrown to the sea cliff behind.

Crescent Island doesn't have so much energy, and it doesn't have such a place to bury these people and throw them into the sea, as for whether they are eaten by fish or swept away by the sea, it doesn't matter so much.

In this era, human life is inherently cheap, and who cares what happens after his death.

After everything was cleared, it was almost dark, and the captives had Donner divided into two rooms, bound his limbs with ropes, and had two rows of men take turns guarding them.

Although these pirates have surrendered, it is not possible to keep them under close control in order to prevent them from trying to escape or some other moth.

Donner also deliberately dragged some pirates out to speak, so that other pirates could hear the words reward, surveillance, and whistleblowing, the purpose of which was to make them suspicious of each other and avoid them colluding and uniting.

Donner instructed the guards to make all the arrangements safely, and the women also prepared dinner, and Donner personally led someone to bring the dinner to the dock.

Because there were not enough houses on the island, the sailors had to return to the ship to rest.

This time the casualties of the sailors were relatively large, and several seriously injured did not survive, and Donner had to go to the ship to calm the sailors who were not in a good mood.

Coming to the ship, Donner motioned to the people around him to distribute the dinner to the sailors on deck, and said with a heavy face: "Thanks to the help of the guys this time, I was able to defeat the invading pirates on Crescent Island, and in order to celebrate the victory, I decided to double the commission to you." ”

The original commission was 30 per person, and it was doubled to 60.

This...... Sixty silver coins are enough for a family of three to live well for more than half a year, and if you are a bachelor who doesn't do anything for a year, you can survive.

The sailor, who was already in a depressed mood, burst into joy and shouted thanks to Lord Donner for his generosity.

Donner hurriedly said, this is how it should be.

After calming the sailors' emotions, Donner returned to the island, and Theodore was already waiting for it.

Anna brought dinner, and Donner devoured the bread, and he had not eaten all day today, and his stomach was already empty and he was very hungry.

Donner took a sip of water, looked up at Theodore, and asked, "Lord Sir, is the bread on the island not to your liking?"

Theodore smiled wryly on his fat face, waved his hand, and said, "No, no, the contemptible people are not very hungry, and the adults can enjoy dinner." ”

"Hmm!" Donner wiped the corners of his mouth, "Thanks to Lord Theodore's generosity this time, we were able to defeat the evil Blood Shark Pirates." ”

Theodore hurriedly said, "This is as it should be. ”

Donner nodded: "There is one more thing to ask Lord Theodore, those fallen sailors and the escorts of the adults, their commissions will trouble you, help hand over to their families, if there are no families, you can also hand them over to their relatives." ”

"Uh...... The head of the regiment is really merciful. Theodore was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time to hold back such a sentence.

When would an employer give a deceased employee's commission to their family? In his opinion, the death of an employee is a good way to save a silver coin, and the last thing that Manhill Harbor lacks is a sailor who works hard.

The concept is different, and Donner has nothing to say, at least in his eyes, the sailors are sacrificed for Crescent Island, and the commission promised must be given: "Lord Sir, please be sure to give a lot of the commission to their families." ”

Theodore's solemnity about Donner is undeniable, anyway, it's not his money, it's just a favor, and he doesn't feel distressed, maybe this move will make him earn a good reputation among the sailors in Port Manhill, and it will be more convenient to recruit sailors in the future.

Theodore patted his chest in agreement, and then asked, "Commander, I don't know why today's battle is so loud. ”

Theodore was very curious, a cold weapon fight was like thunder, booming non-stop.

Donner said flatly: "It's just a small weapon, don't care, I believe Lord Theodore will see it in the future." ”

Donner didn't want to say more, so Theodore didn't ask.

But Lord Sir couldn't wait to return, and he really didn't want to stay on Crescent Island for a minute longer, so he couldn't wait to fill up the porcelain and leave.

"Captain, now that you've removed the threat from the pirates, I'll be ready to sail back tomorrow. ”

Donner smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry, I'll go with you in a few days and give you a ride, and you're doing me a little favor." ”

Theodore asked cautiously: "Well, this won't bother the regimental commander, I don't know what else I can help in the future?"

Donner smiled and said: "The people of the Blood Shark Pirate Group have not been completely annihilated, they have violated Crescent Island, it is unforgivable, we will pay with blood and seize their gathering place Cancer Island." ”

Yes!

Theodore exclaimed, pointing at Donner incredulously.

This...... It's crazy, just because there are so few people on your island, and you still want to hit people's nests.

"Don't worry, with your help, we will be able to take Cancer Island. Donner comforted, "I've already heard that most of their forces have been annihilated on Crescent Island, and on Cancer Island, there are only less than a hundred pirates left, and the defense force is not strong. ”

"Besides, Lord Theodore, don't be in a hurry, wait until tomorrow, let me interrogate those pirates carefully to see if the news is true, and if it is, you can plan carefully. ”

Theodore still couldn't accept this risky behavior, and shook his head again and again.

"I heard that there are two sea ships on Cancer Island, if you can capture Cancer Island, after the matter is completed, how about handing over those two sea ships to the Earl's Court?"

Theodore's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

What kind of bullshit friendship, only gold coins are the most real, you must know that it takes at least more than 50,000 silver coins to buy a sea boat, and two ships are 100,000!

Theodore could barely maintain his aristocratic demeanor, and acquired two sea ships, meaning that the Earldom would be able to increase its maritime trade and obtain more silver coins.

So...... Will I be rewarded by the Countess when I go back?

"Come, Captain Donner, toast to our friendship!" said Theodore with a big smile.
