Chapter 69: Wood Returns
These days, Donner has not let up his training for pirates and slaves.
Ten days later, after the Liberation Mission had taken full control of Cancer Island, Theodore set sail north for the return voyage to Manhill Harbor.
And the Liberation Regiment also began the second reorganization of the team, this time including the pirates of the Blood Shark Pirate Regiment and the forty young slaves.
Donner broke up the pirates and slaves of the first platoon and the Blood Shark Pirate Regiment, mixed and reorganized into twelve squads, plus the personnel of the second platoon, and the military strength of the Liberation Regiment reached more than 150 people.
Donner separated Matthew's second platoon and changed it into a musket brigade, and the other twelve teams were divided into three platoons, and the captains of each team were all elected by veterans from Crescent Island, so that the number of cold weapons troops was equivalent to a company.
After Theodore left, at the same time, Donner arranged for Hans and Ferdy to return to Crescent Island with two platoons of men to bring back the news of the victory, and by the way, all the more than 200 inhabitants of Crescent Island were brought to Cancer Island.
Crescent Island was too small to feed so many people, and its development was greatly restricted, and since then Cancer Island has become another gathering place for the liberation group.
At the docks of Cancer Island, after training, Wood suddenly found Donner: "Report to the head of the regiment." ”
Donner returned the salute and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Wood lowered his head and said cautiously, "Commander, I want to go back and see my wife, is that okay?"
"My wife is pregnant, I haven't seen her for many days, and I'm afraid she's worried. ”
Donner was surprised, then patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll approve you three days off, go back and spend time with your wife, and if you need any help, just let me know." ”
"Thank you, Captain. Wood's eyes were red, probably blown into the fine sand.
"Go!" Donner nodded, and Wood gave a standard military salute, turned and quickened his pace towards home.
There are still no residents on the main street, except for the occasional few residents hurrying through the streets and alleys to visit the door, and only when they are eating, can you see the green smoke rising from the roofs, which proves that these houses are inhabited.
The main road was quiet, and Wood soon came to the door, and he knocked on the door eagerly: "Dala, it's me, I'll come back, open the door quickly." ”
A figure flickered behind the door, and a vigilant look peeked through the crack in the door, and only after seeing that it was Wood did he open the door in surprise.
"Wood, you're not dead?" the door was pulled open, and a middle-aged woman looked surprised, and behind her stood a pot-bellied pregnant woman.
"Wait, Aunt Allah. Wood was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and the aunt had a sharp knife in her hand.
Wood pressed his fingers against the blade of the knife and cautiously pushed it to the side: "Aunt Allah, can you put this away, it will kill you." ”
This aunt was very familiar to him, she was his neighbor, and her husband had died in a naval battle in the early years, and since then she had become quite strong, but she had always taken great care of Wood and his wife.
Aunt Allah smiled, hid the sharp knife behind her back with some embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "Come in." ”
After saying that, he glanced at both sides of the street vigilantly, and then slammed the wooden door of the house shut.
"How's it going, Della, are you alright?" asked Wood as he walked up to his wife, taking her hand and asking with concern.
Della has been worrying about her days these days, and her expression is not very good, but at this moment, after seeing her husband come back unharmed, she smiled: "Wood, you're okay, great, I thought you ......"
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Wood smiled and grabbed his wife's hand, "Baby, it's okay, did you bully you?" ”
Della smiled, glanced at her husband, and said with a smile: "No, the baby is very well-behaved!"
Della is nine months pregnant and is about to give birth.
"By the way, where have you been these days, and who are those people outside?" Aunt Allah asked aloud next to her, "Half a month ago, I heard that other pirates invaded Cancer Island, are these people?"
"Yes! Wood then told his wife and Aunt Allah all that had happened.
"Why are all four of the Blood Shark Pirate Commanders dead? only Brett is left, unconscious?" Allah exclaimed.
She knows the horror of the Blood Shark Pirates, and she was robbed back by the Blood Shark Pirates.
That was seven years ago, when the Blood Shark Pirates had breached a town, killed countless people, robbed the town of food, silver, cloth, and women, and hanged the town's nobles on an island, all of which she had seen with her own eyes.
I still can't forget the cruelty of that time.
Moreover, over the years, the Blood Shark Pirate Regiment has been rampant on the seas, and in the eastern seas, there are few pirate regiments that are their opponents.
But unexpectedly, how could it suddenly be wiped out by another small pirate group with a population of less than 300?
It's incredible, isn't it?
"Yes!" Wood nodded, "I've seen and experienced these things with my own eyes. ”
"So what now?" said Dela, a little anxious, worried about her lone child, "will these pirates kill us?" ”
Wood helped his wife sit on the bed and comforted, "No, this pirate group is different from other pirate groups, they don't kill inhabitants indiscriminately. ”
"How is it different?" said Aunt Allah, "not all pirates, there is not a single pirate who should not be hanged, and all these filthy pirates should go to hell." ”
Wood smiled awkwardly, he's a pirate, too!
Wood reluctantly explained: "They are really different from other pirate groups, oh, by the way, now they are not pirate groups, they are called liberation groups, and their leader has also ordered his members not to harass you!"
"What is the Liberation Regiment?" Allah frowned.
"This ......," Wood scratched his head, "I don't know, anyway, they're not pirates now, that's what their captain said." ”
"Hmph! A group of pirates killed another group of pirates, took Cancer Island, and then said that they would not be pirates anymore?" Aunt Allah mocked, "Are they going to be kings and sons on Cancer Island?
Wood covered his forehead and said that he had a headache, this Aunt Allah was really as strong as ever, and he prayed in his heart that he would not let her provoke the people of the Liberation Regiment.
Although this group of people laughed kindly, they killed people without blinking.
"By the way, Wood, weren't you captured by them, and how did you get back?" asked Dela, confused.
"I came back from leave with the regimental commander, I haven't seen you in a long time, and I miss you so much," Wood looked at his wife gently.
"Ah!" exclaimed Della, "you join this...... What a liberation regiment is this? ”
"Yes!" Wood nodded, and when they saw the confusion in the eyes of his wife and Aunt Allah, he slowly explained to them the difference between the Liberation Mission, hoping that his wife and Aunt Allah would understand.
