"My master wants the merchant ship that you captured, and all the captives on it, including the four in front of you."

The soldier pointed to the merchant, captain, first mate, and boatswain who were too frightened to move, and pulled out a glass jar that exuded a cold aura.

"In return, you can get this antidote to heal your henchmen who are suffering so much that they won't be dead in a short time. Of course, you can also try to snatch it from me. But I promise that before I am killed, I will definitely smash this jar so that you will not get anything. ”

Seeing that the jar was filled with black-red liquid, Hallette cautiously tentatively asked, "Your master is employed by the Roldan Chamber of Commerce?" ”

The soldier shook his head thoughtlessly: "No! My master is not employed by any organization or individual. All he needed was a boat, and some sailors who could move it, and that's it. ”

"Not accepting an offer? Let's change the conditions. You give me the antidote, and I'll be in charge of sending your master wherever he wants. Of course, when you dock, the merchant ship and the expensive cargo and sailors on it will all belong to your master. But this young businessman belongs to me. ”

Hallette tried to bargain.

Because Bernard is more than just a "business".

And it's related to his next series of follow-up plans.

While the name "Bloody Hand" brought Hallette a formidable notoriety, it also brought countless troubles.

After so many years of wandering on the sea, he is already a little tired of chasing prey all day long, or the feeling of being chased by others as prey, and wants to change his identity to wash his name and go ashore and hide behind the scenes to control something.

"I'm sorry, no. My host does not accept any form of bargaining, you can only choose one from agreeing or refusing. In addition, it is necessary for me to remind you that ricin is a substance capable of destroying and causing the failure of many internal organs. If you delay it for too long, you may become crippled even if you drink the antidote. ”

The soldier quietly continued to exert pressure on the other side.

He had already been instructed by Zuo Si before he appeared, and the entire threat and negotiation process was basically watertight.

"Damn! Well, you win. The four captives, as well as the merchant ships and the captured human sailors, are now all yours. Give me the antidote. ”

Seeing that more and more of his pirates began to swallow their last breath because they couldn't bear the pain of the poison, Harriet decisively chose to admit it first.

I saw him motioning to the goblin beside him, who had not been poisoned, to pick up an oil lamp and stand on a relatively dim reef, constantly shaking up and down.

In a few moments, several small boats were carrying a group of humans bound up with ropes, as well as some orc pirates who guarded them, stepping on the shallow waters.

Although the pirates who stayed behind were shocked to see their companion fall to the ground, wailing in pain, and wanted to ask their captain what had happened.

But Hallette stopped them with a look of his eyes, and motioned to cut the rope and hand over all the captives to the other party.

In this way, the thirty-eight sailors who survived the catastrophe were driven behind the soldiers with a bewildered expression.

They were joined by Captain Bass, the ship's owner, Bernard, as well as the first mate and the wounded boatswain.

As soon as the two groups met, the former immediately stared at the latter with anger and hatred.

Because the high-ranking officials of these four merchant ships did not hesitate to abandon the ordinary crew and chose to sneak away when they encountered danger.

If it weren't for the presence of pirates, eighty percent would have started fighting immediately.

"Now you retreat to the bushes. Remember, no matter what you see, stay where you are and don't run around. The soldier commanded in a low voice.

As a participant in the whole program, he knows very well what will happen next.

These guys who lack combat skills and experience will only become a burden if they stay.

"Understood! Rest assured, Your Excellency. We will hide in the bush and be honest according to your request. ”

A middle-aged sailor, who looked very prestigious, took the initiative to stand up and make a statement, and then disappeared into the dark woods with the other sailors.

Captain Bass and the merchant Bernard apparently wanted to say something as well, but were stopped by the soldiers and motioned for them to hurry away.

After all the captives had left the beach, the soldier handed the jar filled with the so-called "antidote" to the goblin who had been waiting for a long time.

After getting the captain's approval, the latter immediately began to pour a mouthful of those unlucky people who had been wailing for a long time, and now they were almost out of strength and could only hum.

The results are immediate!

Every poisoner who drinks it will immediately show a relieved expression, as if the pain has disappeared.

But no one noticed, within the next half minute after drinking the "antidote".

Their skin is unhealthily pale and their pupils glow with a chilling glow.

If there were spellcasters present, they would be able to immediately recognize that these poisoned people were not really cured, but that their bodies were transforming in the direction of necromancy.

When the body loses its vital characteristics and dies completely, it will naturally no longer feel pain.

This also means that the negotiations and transactions just now were actually all smoke bombs deliberately released by Zuo Si to confuse the enemy.

He didn't intend to let the other party go from the beginning, but wanted to kill all the pirates and leave no one behind.

The reason is simple!

Zuo Si felt that he was too weak to defeat a pirate ship full of more than two hundred people in a head-on battle.

And the habits he developed in the tower of the Floating City determined that it was impossible to pin his safety on the kindness of the other party or keep his promises.

Therefore, taking advantage of the advantages of oneself to solve all the pirates once and for all naturally became the only option.

Seeing that his pirates were "cured" one by one and slowly got up from the beach, the anger and killing intent in Harlett's heart calmed down a little, and he narrowed his eyes and tried again: "Who is your master?" Why did he appear on this desert island? Also, what did he want the merchant ship and the prisoners for? ”

"You want to know the true identity of your master?" A mocking smile suddenly appeared on the soldier's face, and then he looked up at the eyeball floating above his head, and replied meaningfully, "Then let's find a way to survive first." Because the host has prepared a grand welcome ceremony for you, the guest. Next up is the carnival of the midnight undead, so have fun. ”

When the last word fell, the eyeball suddenly seemed to be activated, releasing an oozing green light.

Immediately after, a low roar came from the dark woods, grasses, and shrubs behind him.

In less than half a minute, a pirate who had been transformed into a zombie by the magic of [Manipulating Dead Corpses] surrounded the entire camp from all directions.

Although there were not many of them, only a dozen or so, they made Hallett's heart sink.

He wasn't sure how many of these undead creatures were hiding in that endless dark jungle.

In particular, the "evil mage" who has not yet appeared has always made the pirate captain feel strongly uneasy.

As for the goblins and ogres who were not poisoned, although they were frightened by the scalp-tinging scene in front of them, they still drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

Just as Harlett was about to order all his men to rush forward to kill these low-level undead, he suddenly found that the pirates who had just finished detoxifying were behaving almost no different from zombies.

They were all the same slow, sluggish, and their eyes flashed with a red glow that symbolized necromancy.

Damn it!

The stuff I just drank was not an "antidote" at all!

Harrett finally realizes that she has been fooled......
