Codex Pirates

Chapter 97: The Beginning Land (Part 1)

On the pier on the south side of Black Reef Town, the whole area is filled with gunpowder smoke, and there are collapsed buildings everywhere. In a small building that was originally used as a watchtower, a few pirates are sitting on chairs and sofas brought from nowhere. Surrounded by a bonfire, salivating at a roasted sheep above.

Several pirates carried the two tied men in a file, and when they arrived in front of the crowd, they threw the tied men to the ground.

"Captain Guy!" One of the pirates who had just entered the house called out to the pirate sitting opposite the gate, "The town's resistance has been destroyed, but almost all the women and children in the town have disappeared. , there are not many valuable things."

The pirate captain named Guy was tall, with a full face, and a scar across his cheeks and reaching to his ears at the corner of his mouth, which made him look like he always had a weird smile on his face.

Captain Guy fiddled with the bonfire with a long wooden stick. He seemed to have some experience, and there was nothing unexpected about his subordinate's report. After a rough guess, he thought of the reason: "I guess this town has encountered other pirates before. , so the young and strong are almost dead, but they also gained some experience, women, children, and valuable things should all be taken outside the town and hidden."

After the opponent finished guessing, Guy looked at the two townspeople who were lying on the ground tied up with five flowers, and they were looking at him in horror: "You heard what I said, we came here all the way to Not a few sacks of flour, a few fat sheep, tell me, where have all the people in the town gone?"

Although the two townspeople were full of fear, they didn't speak. Guy smiled when he saw this, pulled the burning stick out of the fire, and slowly stretched it towards one of them. It looked like he was only in his teens. face of young male townsman.

The young townsman wanted to escape, but he was tied so tightly that he could only squirm on the ground, but was stepped on by a pirate leader next to him, so he could only try his best to throw his head back, hoping in vain to pull away The distance from the fire stick.

Guy's fire stick directly hit the young townsman's face, making a sizzling sound, but the sound was immediately covered by the young townsman's screams, and he kept twitching like a dehydrated fish.

Guy quickly took the wooden stick back: "Even if you don't tell, this small island is so big, we can find people out slowly, but if you tell, not only will you not suffer less suffering, but I will also save you from suffering." You can get on the boat, and you are also entitled to a share of the property and women you find next."

The young townsman who had been scalded by the fire stick was sweating profusely, and his mouth was drooling unconsciously on the ground, as if he didn't listen to what the pirate captain said.

Seeing this, Guy stretched out the stick again, this time aiming at the eyes of the young townspeople.

Feeling the approaching heat, the young townspeople came back to their senses and cried loudly, "I said, I said..."

Before he finished speaking, another middle-aged man beside him who was also tied up and kept silent suddenly shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

Gay glanced at the middle-aged man who spoke angrily, and ordered to one of his subordinates: "Take him out and kill him."

When the mature middle-aged townsman was dragged out, he was still yelling at the remaining companions: "Don't believe them, don't say anything!"

It's just that they were dragged outside the house, and after a gunshot, the sound stopped abruptly.

The young townsman who was still in the house trembled. Guy squatted in front of him, and said in a bewitching voice: "You are still so young, do you want to die like this? As long as you say it, you can get on my boat , When you get on the pirate ship, you will know what real freedom is. You can enjoy happy banquets, food, wine, and beauties every day. As long as you become a pirate, you will find that you will not be short of these. "

The faces of the young townspeople turned blue and red. They didn't know whether it was the threat of the pirates or the bewitching effect. In the end, they said with difficulty: "There is a hill to the east of the town, and there is a cave on the back of the hill. Those who escaped ..., should..., should be there."

After the young man finished speaking, two lines of hot tears fell uncontrollably on his face, but Guy was too lazy to care about him, and kicked a pirate leader who was still staring at the roast sheep: "Did you hear? Everyone gave me 'please' to come."

"'Please' come?" the pirate leader asked a little dull.

Guy let out a strange laugh: "I don't care about men, and no women are allowed to be hurt. Bring them all to the square in the center of the town, and I will choose slowly."

...

Looking at the pirates carrying knives and guns around the crowd, and looking maliciously at the young female townsfolk from time to time, Mary, the proprietress of the tavern, was full of despair.

Mary clutched her daughter Isa's hand tightly, and her only hope now was that her daughter was safe.

The crowd, consisting mainly of the elderly, the weak, women and children, was escorted by the pirates to the square in the center of the town. Almost all the members of the pirate group gathered here at this time, waiting to see the women in the crowd, and the women who were carried by them respectively. After unpacking the packages, they couldn't help blowing frivolous whistles one after another.

Pirate Captain Guy, who seemed to be very affectionate, put his arms around the shoulders of the informant young townsman, stood at one end of the square, and waited for the crowd to be brought to the center of the square before letting go of the cowering young townsman. Come before the crowd.

The gray-haired, thin and tall mayor, under the interested eyes of the pirate captain Guy, walked out of the crowd tremblingly, came to him, bowed slightly, his face was still full of age. Dui laughed, and said in a low voice: "My lord, all the valuable things in the town are here. We will give them all to you. Please let us go. We have nothing more to give you."

"If you are found by me, the things are naturally mine, and you still want to send me away with my own things?" Guy sneered, and he drew a virtual circle towards the crowd with his fingers, "Besides, who said You have nothing extra to give me and my subordinates?"

The mayor's face was pale, and Guy no longer had any interest in teasing him, so he directly said viciously: "If you don't want to die, just get the hell out of here!"

With a random push, Guy pushed the mayor to the ground. He didn't even look at it, and began to pace slowly around the crowd, like picking animals, scanning the women with pale faces.

Guy's favorite part of looting is actually this link. The helpless civilians are like lambs, who can only tremble under the watchful eyes of him, the beast at the top of the food chain, waiting for him to decide their fate.
