Chapter Twenty-Eight: Burning Ships to Save People
Wren glanced back at the pirates who were still watching the camp,
Turning his head to look at the pirate who walked past with a lantern before,
He's returning at the moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wren pulled out his dagger and hid behind the mast so that the pirate's light could not reach it.
As he walked past the mast, Wren crept behind the pirate.
The right hand covers the opponent's mouth, and the left hand holds the dagger and thrusts it under the pirate's left armpit.
The dagger went straight into the heart of the opponent, and the pirate died before he could struggle.
Holding the pirate's corpse and lying gently on the floor, he didn't make any sound.
The oil lamp kept in the pirate's hand and didn't knock it over.
Wren stood up with the oil lamp in his hand and glanced back at the door of the captain's room, the five pirates, who were still playing cards.
Then he turned to look at the pirate who was looking at the camp from the bow of the ship, and he seemed tired of seeing the scenery of the camp, and he lifted the oil lamp in his hand and turned to see Wren carrying the lantern coming towards him.
"Why are your clothes all wet?"
The pirate was alert to Wren's soaked pirate suit.
Wren put the oil lamp on the side of the box and replied:
"Nothing! Look over there. ā
Wren pointed in the direction of the camp.
The pirate reflexively turned his head to look in the direction Wren pointed, Wren took two quick steps and covered the other party's face with the hand pointing in the direction,
The other hand slit the pirate's throat with a dagger hidden behind him.
When he saw the other party's oil lamp, he was about to let go and fall, so he quickly let go of the hand covering his mouth and took the oil lamp in advance.
The corpse of the pirate lay on the deck, blood spitting from his mouth, and he tried to scream but there was no sound.
The three pirates in front of the captain's room heard the corpse falling on the deck and looked up at Wren.
Wren put the oil lamp to his chest and shook it and said, "It's all right!" ā
It may be because Wren is more than thirty meters away from the direction of the captain's room, and the other party does not see Wren's appearance and his wet clothes clearly.
A few guys didn't hesitate and continued to get back to their game.
Wren came to the other side of the deck with an oil lamp, pretending to watch the night scene and signaling the two sailors outside the ship's walls.
Soon they were under the Rennes Sight Spot.
Wren whispered to them to remove the bodies and change their clothes when they got on the boat, and then pretended to go to the bow with an oil lamp to check it out.
It took a while for Wren to come back, and the sailor had already changed into a pirate's clothes.
Wren handed the oil lamp to one of them, and asked Ling to take the oil lamp that had been placed on the crate earlier.
After instructing the two sailors to pretend to be patrolling pirates, Wren opened the hatch below deck and climbed down.
On the lower floor is the artillery room, and there are ten rusty iron cannons on the left and right sides, which are also very well armed.
There were also two sailors patrolling back and forth on this level, and when they saw Wren coming down, they all looked at Wren.
Wren shook the water from his clothes and said, "It's all wet!
One of the pirates asked curiously, "It's not raining outside, how did you get wet?" ā
Wren spread his hands and replied with a helpless expression: "I lost playing cards." There was not enough money, and he was thrown into the sea. ā
Both pirates burst out laughing when they heard Wren's explanation.
Wren laughed with them as he walked past them and continued inside.
"By the way, why are you so embarrassed? What's the name of the guy who threw you into the sea?"
One of the pirates stopped laughing and asked at Wren's back.
Wren turned around calmly, still smiling on his face, already holding the dagger in his hand.
"I'm new to this ship, of course. The guy's name is ......."
Wren deliberately kept his voice low so that the questioning pirate listened to him, and the dagger plunged quickly into the throat of the other man, which was exposed to the dagger.
Leaving the pirate alone, Wren quickly stepped past the fallen corpse, put his hand on the shoulder of the other pirate, and whispered:
"He's drunk!"
Before the pirate who had been hooked to the shoulder could come to his senses, Wren's dagger had already pierced his heart.
After hiding the bodies of the two pirates in the shadows between the two guns, Wren extinguished one of the oil lamps and blew out both oil lamps on the artillery floor.
Armed with an oil lamp, he quickly found the staircase leading to the sailor's room, and down the staircase, he encountered two pirates sleeping at the top of the staircase.
Looking at the left and right drain rooms, most of the rooms are dark, and only a few are lit.
Wren did not alarm the two pirates.
He cautiously walked past them, alone carrying an oil lamp through the corridors of the sailor's room.
Some unlit sailors had pirates sleeping in their rooms, and their snoring let Wren know that there was someone in the room.
There were also pirates who were not asleep who were attracted by Wren's oil lamp and looked up at Wren, but after seeing Wren's dress, they didn't bother to ask Wren why he was soaking wet, so he turned over and continued to sleep.
Wren passed through the corridor of the sailor's room to the staircase in the middle that led to the storage level below.
After waiting a little and finding nothing out of the ordinary, Wren began to descend the storage floor.
To set fire to the storage floor is the most ideal place.
However, there were also two pirates patrolling the storeroom, but they didn't notice Wren coming down.
Wren extinguished the oil lamp in his hand, placed it on the ground, and then crept up behind one of the pirates with his back to him, assassinated him, and carefully helped his body to the floor.
Then, under the cover of the large boxes containing items around, he touched the back of another patrolling pirate and quickly dealt with him.
Wren hid both bodies behind the shadow of the chest, took the torches from the torch rack, and lit them with an oil lamp on the wall.
Then extinguish the oil lamp and pour the oil on the box of the object.
Oil from the oil lamp that had been placed on the ground was also poured on the box, and it was also brought to the wall of the ship.
After pouring the oil, Wren threw the torch into the box with the oil and let it burn.
Fearing that the fire would be discovered in advance, he also put down some wooden barrels and pushed them everywhere.
to block the firefighters with them.
Almost done, Wren hurried out of the storage floor.
Most of the people were still sleeping when they passed through the pirate house, which made Wren feel much more relieved.
But when he reached the upper artillery floor, one of the pirates who had been sleeping woke up, and he saw Wren going up the stairs and was about to ask a few questions.
But Wren covered his mouth and used a dagger to make him lie back again.
When they returned to the deck, two sailors pretending to be pirates were still pretending to be on patrol, and the pirate on the helmsman's deck had come down to play cards with the pirates in front of the captain's room.
Wren beckoned to the two sailors, and the two put down the oil lamps one after another, and climbed down the bow with Wren.
When they were halfway back, the pirates on the pirate ship finally discovered the fire, and the little brass bell was runged.
The light of the pirate ship's fire had attracted the attention of the shore thieves, who began to gather on the beach to watch.
There was already a pirate captain scolding and leading people into a dinghy and rowing towards the burning pirate ship.
By the time Wren came ashore, the entire pirate camp was in a state of commotion.
With the lesson learned from the ship, Wren took off his clothes and wrung them out and dried his hair, and the other two sailors did the same.
Wearing SH stealing clothes again, now as long as you don't look closely, you don't know that their clothes are wet.
Wren pretended to be the leader of the pirate squad and the sailor pretended to be his subordinate, and the three of them swaggered into the pirate camp and went from tent to tent to check.
There was a commotion in the camp, and the passing pirates didn't pay much attention to the fact that the three of them went looking through the tents.
Having traversed almost the entire pirate camp, Wren still couldn't find anyone for his captives.
Their clothes had been dried by the sea breeze, and along the way they had come to think of themselves as pirates, and from time to time they would greet and tease pirates they didn't know.
When we found a few tents in the camp closest to the beach, we finally found the captives.
Wren only opened a gap outside the tent door to see, and only after confirming that there were eight tents where the prisoners were being held did Wren begin to save people.
Each of the tents where the prisoners were held was guarded by at least five pirates, and the tents where several captains were held had ten men.
Wren plans to save a tent where ordinary mercenaries and sailors are held first, and then rescue a few captains when he has enough manpower.
Wren entered the tent next to the captains and called the three pirates out, leaving the sailors alone to deal with the two inside.
Then wait for the two sailors to come out and drag the three pirates into the tent together to deal with them.
In this way, dozens of mercenaries and sailors were rescued, and five of them were asked to change the clothes of the SH thieves first, and the others were left in the tent to wait for the signal.
So he took the disguised people into the tent where the captain was held.
After using the change of shift as an excuse to attract the attention of the other party, he took the opportunity to quickly finish down a few pirates, and finally rescued several captains.
They also changed into the clothes of the thieves, and in order to avoid people's eyes, Wren broke up and divided them into three teams, each with at least two captains to rescue the other captives.
When all the captives were freed, Wren had someone disguised as a pirate in front of him to attract the attention of the other pirates and take the opportunity to deal with the threat.
In the end, he escaped from the pirate camp very smoothly.
Wren led them around the perimeter of the pirate camp back to the two sailors who had guarded the armor, and let the group all run into the sand where the waves could reach, all the way to the camp.
Wren quickly put on his armor with the help of two sailors, cut down a few bushes and touched the footprints on the beach, and then stepped into the sea and evacuated with the people in front of him.
The whole ship on the pirate ship's side was already on fire, and it seemed that the ship had not been saved.
By this time, the pirates had also discovered that someone had robbed the camp, and sounded the bronze tools and alarm bells everywhere.
By the time the pirates figured out that Wren had evacuated from the beach, Wren had been away from the pirates for almost half an hour.
If nothing else, they can escape from the pirates, and flee in the wilderness while hiding.
But Wren felt his heart beat wildly, something he had forgotten to consider, and he had a premonition that the pirates would catch up with them.
