Chapter 267: The Tragic Situation on the Island of Hilovas

"My lord, we're back" Tiger Rose and Yuri stood in front of Lorlist

Lorist breathed a sigh of relief, and then his heart sank. The return of Tiger Ross and Yuri meant that the enemy on Hilowas Island had withdrawn, and there was no battle with the reinforcements Bodfinger and others entrenched on the island, but the withdrawal of the same enemy meant that they had achieved their goal of coming to plunder, and the scene on Hilowas Island must have been miserable......

"Tell me, what's going on on the island?" Larliste asked, taking a deep breath.

The faces of Tiger Rose and Yuri also became heavy......

"My lord, it's so miserable, those slave traders and slave catchers in the Kingdom of Haneyabada are simply not human, they are just a bunch of brutes! Most of the people who are over fifty years old on the island have been killed, and children younger than ten years old have not been spared, and I have also seen a few babies of one or two years old being snatched by spears poked at the side of the road......" Yuri's voice was a little choked, very sad and angry

Tiger Rose shook his head, as if reluctant to think back to what he had seen: "My lord, the island of Hilovas has become a hell, especially the square in the center of Shiratori Town, which has become a slaughterhouse...... The slave traders, who selected the old, the wounded, the infirm, and carried out a massacre in the square, and the ground turned black and the corpses were piled up......

Everyone who saw that scene was furious, and before we could sail back, there were more than 4,000 corpses in the square, among them, Josk found the bodies of the mayor of White Bird, Daddy Hugo, and the old accountant, Mike......"

Lorist clenched his fists tightly, during the Imperial Civil War, many people took Hilovas Island as a place to escape the war, so they settled here with their families, more of them were elderly, and they hoped to spend their old age on the island in peace. It's just that they can't imagine that they can avoid the war burning on the mainland, but they can't escape the poisonous hands of slave traders from the sea......

"My lord, Christon, the sheriff of White Bird Town, escaped from slave traders and slave catchers with more than fifty people hiding in abandoned sewers, and were rescued by us. In addition, when we attacked Wanghai Manor, we also found the imprisoned Master Sid's eldest son, Delokova, and others, who were exploring the mineral resources on the island and found that there were fireworks outside, so they hurried back, only to fall into the hands of the slave catchers...... Yuri reported

"Wait......" Lorist was stunned, attacking Wanghai Manor?

"When you got to the island, there were still enemies on the island?"

"Yes, my lord, we have also captured fourteen ships, two of which are large ocean-going armed merchant ships. Tiger Ross said

"When we arrived at the island of Hilowas, it was just dawn and we found fourteen boats still on the beach in the southern part of the island. Sambarwood ordered the fleet to go straight up, only to find that there was no one on the boat, but it was stuffed with a mess of debris. Then we caught almost a hundred sailors in several houses nearby.

According to the confessions of the captives, there were more than 1,000 enemies on the island, all of whom were sailors and slave hunters of these dozen ships, and the reason they remained on the island was that these sailors wanted to scavenge furniture and sundries from the empty houses in Shiratori and sell them back for money, and the slave hunters were searching for the inhabitants who had fled or hid...... Yuri added.

"And the escapees?" said Lorlist, who thought of Fat and Jim......

But Yuri's next words disappointed Lorlist: "Of course there is, like the sheriff, they are hiding, but they have been hungry for days when they are rescued, and if it weren't for the basement connected to the sewer and a few old cowhides, so many of them wouldn't have survived this month......

It was basically the villagers of the seven villages who fled, just like the captain of the garrison of the mountain village, who took half of the villagers and fled into the mountains, but the old and weak who stayed in the village were killed by those slave traders and slave capture teams, and burned the village, and sent people into the mountains to arrest them, and arrested more than 100 people one after another, all of whom were locked up in Wanghai Manor.

The captives said that they were headed by a great swordsman and a golden knight, the Duke of Gufmann, and they were sitting in Wanghai Villa, and they were going to return in another ten days......"

"Great Swordsman?" Lorlist's heart tightened, that golden knight and bullshit Duke Gufman were not a big deal, but he was just a big slave owner. However, there is a great swordsman still on the island, and he is afraid that he will cause damage to the family forces, and if he adopts the strategy of guerrilla attacks or covert attacks, and leaves with one blow, it will be a big trouble

"How did Bodfinger deal with it, did that great swordsman cause us any harm?" Lorist asked quickly.

Tiger Rose pursed his lips disdainfully: "Just that coward great swordsman? He has a fart!" Bodfinger heard that there were four or five hundred people stationed in Wanghai Manor, so he sent a large group of heavy armor soldiers and a large group of wheelbarrow steel ballistas, but a thousand people wanted to lure that great sword master out. Who knew that such a thousand people would make the great swordsman and the golden knight lead so many people who did not dare to fight, and even closed their doors and killed themselves and did not come out, preferring to shrink in the manor and be a turtle with a shrunken head.

We had no choice but to attack, and then the great swordsman had no choice but to come forward and say that as long as we let them live and give them two ships, they would leave the island of Hiloas immediately. We asked them to abandon their weapons and surrender, but the great swordsman threatened us with killing them if we didn't let them go......

Then Bo Definger waved his hand, and the three hundred one-wheeled steel crossbows were a rain of arrows, and the mighty swordsman was hit by an iron crossbow arrow in his right thigh, and the one who cried on the ground and cried his father and mother was captured, and the golden knight led the people to resist for a long time, and finally I smashed down and caught it, and more than 200 people who did not die surrendered. ”

Lorist was overjoyed when he heard this: "That great swordsman and the golden knight were captured alive by you?"

"Yes, sir. Tiger Rose nodded: "We have successfully recovered Wanghai Manor, rescued more than 300 captured villagers from the manor, and the team of guards who accompanied Master Sid's son Delokova into the mountains to explore, but only three of them are still alive, and seven died because of resistance."

Bodfinger then ordered a brigade of heavy armoured men with a group of wheelwheels and ballistas divided into seven or eight teams to sweep the island of Hilowas, destroying and capturing the remaining slave catchers and sailors, and rescuing more than 200 villagers and homeless people who were hiding and fleeing.

My lord, we heard from the surviving outcasts that Schreid and Jim were taken by the slave traders......"

Lorist leaned back in his chair in a dejected manner, slammed his fist weakly on the table, and only started after a while: "Those homeless people didn't say how they were captured?"

Tiger Rose thought for a while and said: "Those few homeless people said that Sred and Jim hurried to the camp with about twenty guards, and summoned the heads of several camp camps to ask the people to be armed for self-protection......

Schreed and Jim put up a stubborn resistance with more than twenty guards, and more than half of the guards died, and then it seemed that a great swordsman had come and knocked them all down and captured them. Without them as the backbone, the homeless people panicked, and the slave traders and slave catchers killed many of the resisting homeless, and one or two thousand people died. In the end, everyone was forced to kneel on the ground before being let go, and a few of them took advantage of the chaos to run into the mountains and forests from behind to avoid being arrested......"

Lorist sighed and asked, "How many people have survived on the island of Shirowas?"

This time it was Yuri who answered: "We don't know, but it is estimated that there will be about six or seven hundred." As soon as the island is cleared, let us come back first and report to your lordship, and escort the great swordsman and the golden knight to your lordship. As for the other captives, uh...... Because of the terrible situation on the island, we were all furious, and after a short interrogation we ordered the soldiers to erect crosses on the southern beach and crucify them all to it, as the adults had commanded......"

With more than 1,000 captives, the plain and steady Bodfinger could order them all to be crucified without hesitation, and one can imagine how tragic the scene on the island of Hilowass was, so that all the family soldiers were willing to carry out this somewhat cruel order......

"By the way, my lord, Bodefinger and they have requested an urgent replenishment of a batch of disinfectant powders and healing potions, and preparations must be made immediately on the island of Hilowas. Those damn bitch slave traders and slave catchers don't even collect the corpses of their own people, the island is full of corpses, and now it's hot, and many of them are stinking and rotting......" Yuri remembered something important.

"Schward......

"Your Excellency, please command. Schward stepped forward.

Lorist quickly wrote a warrant: "Immediately send someone to send the warrant to the General Medical Department of Rock Castle, order them to prepare a large number of various medicinal materials for epidemic prevention, and send several pharmacists to accompany the ship to the island of Hilowas." Tell them that they have only three days to prepare, and that in three days the Flying Fish of Dawn will sail and that the herbs and apothecary must be seen on board. ”

"Yes, my lord, I will order the guards to go and give the order at once. Schward hurried out, and soon a hurried sound of horses' hooves galloped away.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" asked Yuri.

"When will Sambarwood's fleet return?"

"There are probably ten days left, and he will bring back all the villagers and residents who survived the death when he comes back this time, and maybe he has already set off. Yuri guessed.

"Well, it's probably the end of July for him to come back, and I hope his fleet will make a few more trips in August, and transport both the Heavy Armor Corps and the Uniwheeled Steel Crossbow Corps here to the island of Hilowas. Next up is Camp Thunderbolt in Ovikis, and Yuri, your scout camp, is ready to head to the island of Hilovas with Camp Thunderbolt. Lorist said.

Tiger Ross' eyes lit up as he listened: "My lord, you are going to go to the kingdom of Haneyabada, and I will also go to ......."

Since Tiger Rose guessed his plan, Lorist did not hide his plans: "Our Norton family has never been slapped without fighting back, and it is not what we have to do to swallow our anger, this time I will destroy this Hanea Bada Kingdom." But, Rose, you can't go this time, you have to sit in the family domain. ”

"My lord, there are people in the family territory, you see Marek, Telman, and Bérunec, they can all do it......" Tiger Rose suddenly launched three companions.

"You're a step too late, Malek has already told me first, he's going to take the place of Dorres to command the Singlewheeled Steel Crossbow Legion. Lorist laughed.

"Well, my lord, then Farea will be fine, when you go on the expedition, Farea will be healed from his injuries, and he can recuperate while sitting in the family territory. Besides, I don't take the Lancers with me, I'll just follow the adults as a guard. And my lord, you also know the exercises I practice, only when you fight with the master can you enter the realm quickly, and now there is any golden knight in the family besides me who can take over the sword moves of the next level of great swordsman, my lord, don't you say? It is said that there are more than a dozen great swordsmen in the Kingdom of Haneabada, and it is better to take care of it with me......"

In order to be able to go out with Lorist, Tiger Ross moved out for all kinds of messy reasons. Yuri Dark Music on the side, anyway, Lorist appointed him and the scout battalion to go on the expedition, he interjected: "Brother Ross, don't forget your duty, you are still the president of the two lancer regiments, can you leave your own regiment and do it?"

Tiger Rose glared at him fiercely: "It's okay, my deputy Vasima Knight is very capable, and I'm not the same in my absence." ”

Turning his head and begging Lorlist, "Your Excellency, ......"

Headache, Lorist waved his hand: "Okay, arrange the affairs of the Lancer Regiment by yourself, I can think about it." ”

This means agreeing, Tiger Rose excitedly picked up Yuri and spun around twice: "Yay......"

Yuri cursed and kicked him twice, but Tiger Ross didn't care, and after putting Yuri down, he remembered something: "By the way, my lord, if we want to go to the kingdom of Haneyabada, we don't have enough ships, and if we can't send all the troops over at once, this battle will be very difficult to fight......"

Lorist nodded: "I've thought about it, one of the tasks of El and Tugger going to Moriente City this time is to borrow a ship from the Peterson Chamber of Commerce and ask them to buy the old ship on our behalf, this is a way." Another way is to wait for the Flying Fish of Dawn to come back this time, and I will go to the Sad Ocean with the ship and requisition all the ships I encounter. ”

Yes, Lorist is determined to carry out the expropriation to the end.

Tiger Rose was very happy: "My lord, I will accompany you to requisition." ”

Yuri was very unhappy and said, "My lord, don't pay attention to this pervert of Rose, he even hugs men! ”

"Well," said Lorlist, "it's not an honorable thing to requisition someone else's ship, so don't make any noise. There is no hurry. Three days later, the Flying Fish of Dawn first sent the herbs and the apothecary to the island of Hilowas, and it would take fourteen or fifteen days to return and back. I'm going to go back to Rock Castle, and I'll have the three allies come and meet for a few days, and settle down before we can set out for the kingdom of Haneyabada. You just come back and rest for two days, and then go and finish your business. By the way, don't tell me about the expedition, I haven't told you about it yet. ”

"Yes, sir. Tiger Ross and Yuri saluted and walked out, and as soon as they reached the door, the two returned

"Your Excellency... You haven't dealt with the two Great Swordsmen and Golden Knight who we escorted over...... Yuri said.

"Yes, and the interrogation records that we interrogated from them when we were bored on the ship these days, Yuri, you asked someone to show them to the adults. Tiger Ross also reminded.

"Is there an interrogation record?" asked Lorlist.

"Yes, my lord, we have nothing to do on the ship these days, so we went to interrogate the great swordsman and the golden knight, who even peeked at his parents when he was a child. Tiger Rose replied.

Lorist laughed, it can be seen how miserable the Great Swordsman fell into the hands of these two, and even said that there was obviously nothing to hide from this.

"Now that there are interrogation records, it doesn't matter if I see them or not. Just do what the sailors did last time, and crucify them all. Lorist commanded lightly.

Tiger Ross and Yuri were stunned.

"My lord, that's the Great Swordsman and the Golden Knight! The Great Swordsman said he would be willing to serve our Norton family if we spared his life......" Yuri muttered.

"Hehe, thank you, our Norton family doesn't need to be so wolf-hearted, don't treat their own kind as human beings, and slow down the effectiveness of the murderer with the blood of innocents on his hands, even if he is a great swordsman?

Lorlist's contempt for the Great Swordsman and the Golden Knight made Tiger Ross and Yuri's eyes glow, and their backs became more and more straight, with a look of pride.

Almost in unison, they replied, "Yes, my lord!"
