Chapter 34: The Pirates and the Village
"It's so hot!"
Ron walked in front of Amber, his hands drooping, and he almost stuck his tongue out to dissipate the heat.
"Be careful, there's something wrong here."
Amber glanced around, and the combination of heat and silence in the woods made people very depressed.
The movement of dozens of people walking together is very large, so there is no possibility of a sneak attack at all.
Nishaya didn't have any idea of this, her idea was actually very simple, find the pirates, defeat them, and then suppress the civilians who colluded with the pirates to kill the navy.
After walking like this for about ten minutes, my eyes suddenly became open.
"This is..."
Everyone was stunned by what they saw, and they saw that in the open space not far away, thick wooden stakes were nailed to the ground, which was nothing, but what made them angry was that there was a man in a navy uniform stuck in these wooden stakes.
It penetrates into the body from the bottom and finally peeks through the neck.
"Damn it!"
Nishaya's eyes turned red all at once.
No one can avoid the death of the navy in battle, but this kind of abusive behavior in front of us is undoubtedly a provocation to the dignity of the navy.
"Find those damn pirates, and leave none behind!"
She said through gritted teeth.
The crowd was excited, and they did not hesitate to follow in Nishaya's footsteps. After nearly 500 meters, a small village came into view.
Then I saw a group of pirates who were tall, short, fat and thin, and dressed very strangely, standing in the middle of the road.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Navy, remember my name, Captain of the Expedition, 10 million Baileys, angry Ral!"
The pirate led by him made progress forward, he was about three meters tall, and the proportions of his upper body and lower body were a little incongruous, especially those two arms, which were even thicker and frightening.
"I'm going to send you to hell!"
Ral's weapon was a knife wider than the door panel, and a casual swing could bring a whistling.
"Humph!"
Nishaya snorted coldly, pulled out the long knife on her waist, danced a knife flower in her hand, and pointed forward: "Kill!" ”
Her strength has also been greatly improved in this year, and it can be said that she is not weaker than anyone except Amber.
As Nishaya took the lead and fought with Ral, the other cadets also faced the pirates, and a scuffle ensued.
One side has the advantage of numbers, but lacks combat experience, and the other side has few people, but they are all outlaws who often fight.
The sound of weapons colliding was incessant, and it suddenly froze.
As for Amber, she is not among the students at the moment.
Inside the village.
A group of ragged men, women, and children were huddled together, looking in horror at the navy that had suddenly appeared in front of them.
Their expressions of disgust made Amber a little uncomfortable.
"By the way, you hate the Navy?"
He looked around, surrounded by slum shacks, "I'm here to rescue you, and it's hurting." ”
"Rescue?"
A man grinned miserably, revealing his bright red gums, "Those pirates are the ones who saved us, and you are just damned demons!" Kill if you want to, we won't be able to survive anyway. ”
"Sounds like a story, if you don't mind, tell me about it?"
Amber smiled and sat cross-legged on the ground, not minding the staining of her snow-white clothes.
His attitude stunned the villagers who were already desperate.
"Everyone, there are good and bad people, let alone the navy?"
Seeing this, Amber spread his hands and said, "Besides, aren't you okay now, you still have to fight outside for a while, it's okay for us to talk, right?" ”
"If you want to know, I can say it."
It was still the man who had just spoken, and he should be the leader of this group of villagers, "Do you know how many people there were in our village before?" ”
"Uh, I don't know."
Amber scratched her head.
"There are nearly a thousand!"
The man smiled more ugly than crying, "And now what you see is everyone here, if it weren't for those righteous pirates, I'm afraid we would still be kept in captivity by those guys." ”
"You're referring to the navy in Agros, right? Why would they do it? ”
Amber propped her chin on one hand and smiled with interest, but her eyes were very cold.
"It's all because of that... That guy named Cologne! ”
The man's body trembled, as if he remembered some terrible memory, "He will take people from our village away, sometimes one or two, sometimes more than ten, and once he leaves, he never comes back."
As for those who stay here, they go to the bottom of the island every day to dig up an ore called rock crystal, which is a cursed thing. ”
Saying this, he pointed to his face, "How old do you think I am?" ”
"Thirty-five?"
Amber thought for a moment and gave her own answer.
"Heh, I'm only eighteen years old."
Man, no, the boy pointed to his wrinkled face, and then to a group of goosebump-bearing companions beside him.
"The oldest of them is only thirty, and there is no one in the village who is over forty years old."
"Sounds miserable."
Amber exhaled softly, "Then the last question, what happened in the open space outside, did you do it?" ”
The young man gritted his teeth when he heard this, and even admitted directly, "We did it, young navy, if you want to avenge those guys, then come on." ”
"Heh, I have my own answer."
Amber stood up from the ground and patted the dust on her pants slightly, "There should be more than one village like yours, right?" ”
"I don't know, anyway, it's just us on Black Gold Island."
The boy replied truthfully.
"In this case, then what should you do, live here well in the future, and no one will bother you anymore."
Amber's words made them all stunned.
"Really... Are you sure? ”
A woman who looked like an old lady asked in a trembling voice.
"I'm just a cadet, but I know the Admiral."
Amber smiled softly, there wasn't much he could do in the face of these suffering people.
Carrying a knife, he slowly walked out of the village, leaving only the villagers with a somewhat unfamiliar back.
Late justice is not called justice, it is condescending alms to the suffering.
Amber doesn't like to do that, so he doesn't show much sympathy, because it doesn't change anything at all.
Rather than that, it's better to swing the knife a few more times.
After leaving the village, the battle outside was nearing its end, and the cadets were victorious, but also paid some lives.
As for the pirates, only the guy named Ral was still standing, even though he was covered in scars.
"Come, Navy!"
Ral roared angrily, using the last of his strength, like a desperate man charging towards the waves.
Even if it's just a pirate, he has his pride.
