at this time.

Alien.

Pirate Islands, Ji City, Island Owner's Mansion.

"Island owner."

"New news came that the two groups of pirates, Shanyuan and Dongyang, were wiped out."

"As usual, no one will stay."

"..."

After listening.

The island owner was once again shocked. It has been more than ten days since he surrendered at the beginning. In these ten days, several pirate forces have been wiped out every now and then.

Obviously,

The other party didn't plan to develop for a while at all.

Straightforward!

Ready to push all the way through.

until now.

In the entire Pirate Islands, by simple calculation, 80% of the pirate forces have been wiped out, in the true sense, because the other party never recruited.

Just be a pirate.

And do evil.

That one word --- kill, is not forgiving at all.

now.

There are less than ten pirate forces left, and they are getting closer and closer to becoming the overlord of this sea area.

"Next, it should be a little more stable, focusing on sleepiness." The island owner's subordinates analyzed.

After all, the rest are hard bones, especially the first three pirate groups.

Occupies the largest island in the archipelago.

Three parties share one island.

Because the area is a bit big, it can even be self-sufficient.

Even if the sea area is blocked, people can eat, drink and live leisurely.

The island is heavily defended, and a lot of defensive work has been done specifically to prevent the Nanyu Empire navy from attacking. If there is a strong attack, the price paid will be extremely high.

Night attack?

This method, the island owner felt, was unreliable.

At this time, people are extremely vigilant.

Therefore, when it develops to the final decisive battle, it will definitely be a frontal battle.

. . .

the other side.

main island.

The three major pirate forces have already been twisted into one rope. There is no other way. It was okay to fight each other before, but now they are facing an unprecedented crisis. How dare they be careless.

Only by uniting can we deal with the crisis.

at first.

There are also twenty or so pirate forces who can communicate with each other using messenger birds.

But after that.

Fewer and fewer.

The number of people who are still in contact until now is less than the number of hands.

A strong sense of crisis arises spontaneously. This feeling of continuous loss of allies is very scary, but the defense construction for so many years has provided some confidence.

"Big master, the third batch of ships sent to make contact was detained again."

"..."

"Boss, their fleet has already blocked the waters of the main channel. Many of our brothers who came back were intercepted, and none of those who went out to report did not reply."

"..."

One bad news came.

Insufficient information is the greatest distress,

The most irritating thing is that if you want to contact the other party, you will be detained directly, as if you didn't intend to negotiate at all.

"Don't worry, we will be able to get through this crisis."

The head of the first pirate group comforted, but only he knew the truth.

Prepare to face off.

On the one hand, they are also preparing to retreat. They are pirates, but they have no foreign aid.

. . .

on the ocean.

A dozen or so large ships were floating.

On the deck of the main ship.

A group of pirates were basking leisurely, sunbathing their fronts and backs. There was only so much space on the ship, and most of the time of the day, they were so idle that they counted their fingers.

"I'm finally home. I hope to go to Baicheng next time. Dayan is not fun at all."

"indeed!"

"The dozens of girls below can only watch, but cannot move. They are all suffocating labor and capital."

"..."

The topic of men, a few words cannot be separated from women.

The trade of pirates is not only in the Nanyu Empire, Baicheng and Dayan Empire also have their presence, and the sailors on both sides don't care about it.

There are many reasons.

First.

With filial piety, the protection fee received from the merchant ship will be distributed to the navy on both sides.

second.

political reasons.

For the two major forces, the existence of pirates is a cancer of the Nanyu Empire and has nothing to do with the two parties. They are even happy to see the Nanyu Empire in chaos.

Quartet forces, indicating peace.

but.

It's not just one mind, if others are weaker, it means that you are stronger for nothing.

even.

Inside the Nanyu Empire, the attitude towards pirates is laissez-faire, because the uprisings in the two states made the local areas out of control, and they wanted to use pirates to suppress them.

therefore.

The existence of pirates is so unscrupulous.

. . . .

Inside this ship.

The place is small, the air is dirty, with a smell, dozens of girls, curled up in a pile.

sluggish.

confused.

Fear.

They know what they will face if they arrive at the pirate island. Some people may think that this is the case, why not just die and not suffer?

Ah!

Easy to say.

Between life and death, how can it be so easy to choose.

People are ugly.

People are poor.

human disease.



According to this logic, is there no need to live? Can it be solved by one death? According to this logic, should all the oppressed people commit suicide?

Obviously.

This is not a normal logic.

At least.

They have not yet faced the dilemma of life and death, as well as courage.

in the crowd.

A pair of sisters, leaning on each other, the elder sister has firm eyes, and the younger sister looks scared. Both of them were captured by human teeth and sold to pirates at high prices.

Because of being pretty.

It is going to contribute to the boss by the person in charge of this flotilla.

She decided that no matter what, even if she committed herself to the pirates, she must protect her sister. If it didn't work, there was only the last way—suicide.

"sister."

"Um?"

"I just dreamed about my mother, she made a lot of delicious food."

"..."

Qiu Han hugged his sister tightly, tears streaming down his face, this place is far away from the Dayan Empire, if he wanted to go back, the journey would be thousands of miles away, and the vast ocean would be separated.

. . .

After one hour.

lookout pole.

A pirate shouted down below:

"There is a ship in the distance."

"a large amount!"

"It's coming to us."

"..."

The pirates stood up immediately.

At first glance, sure enough, dozens of ships were approaching them, but they didn't pay much attention to them. There were already many pirate observation ships active here.

as an early warning.

only.

Why is it too much this time? Could it be that something happened on the island?

Well, maybe the fleet was killed inexplicably before, which raised the level of vigilance.

finally.

The fleet approached and saw that there were various pirate flags hanging on it, and they were puzzled.

"Stop the boat!"

On the opposite ship, only a loud roar was heard.

"we are......"

The captain quickly called back.

The other side didn't let it go.

"No matter who you are, stop the ship immediately. Now, all incoming ships must be thoroughly inspected to prevent dangerous people from mixing in."

"this......"

After hesitating for a while, the captain nodded.

"good!"

The matter of the previous expedition fleet made him not have too much doubt about everything in front of him.

It's just a joint inspection, there was one before.

then.

The two ships were close, and only six people came from the opposite side. Seeing this, the captain let go of his last bit of vigilance. There were only six people, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

The two inspected the cargo on deck and made routine inquiries.

"How many people in total?"

"..."

"What is being transported? It is specific to each ship."

"..."

Facing the question, the person in charge answered honestly that it was not a secret at all, even if it was transporting something that was prohibited by the Quartet, it was still legal here.

The two asked on the deck.

The other four went down to the cabin.

level one.

It is the place where the pirates live. There are not many people at this time. In general, the pirates are rarely down there, and it is too boring.

Only three pirates are resting now.

The two slept soundly.

"You are?"

asked a half-conscious pirate.

then.

Seeing that the face of the other party did not change, he walked up to him.

Then he shot in an instant, before he could react.

"Crack!"

"you!"

The pirate's eyes widened.

His neck was twisted directly behind him, and in his eyes, he could see that several other pirate companions had their throat bones crushed in their sleep.

I really want to yell for an early warning, but I can't do it.

Consciousness dissipated.

Do not rest in peace.
