The law of pirates

at the same time,

"elder sister!"

In a pink bedroom, Peggy Wan looked at Ulti who was still sleeping soundly, feeling an inexplicable colic in her heart.

My sister is always so confident and carefree, even though today is such an important day!

"Damn it, why, why does this kind of sacrifice exist?" Peggy Wan clenched her fists tightly, tears falling down uncontrollably.

He is not afraid of death. As long as his parents and sister are safe, he can face everything calmly, even if it costs him his own life.

He even thought that if Ulti was unfortunately chosen, then he would be the sacrifice instead of his sister!

But now…

Peggy Wan was very conflicted in her heart.

He really wanted to take Ulti away and escape from this country shrouded in blood, but he was worried that his parents would be implicated!

"Xiao Pei?"

Just when Peggy Wan was in a dilemma, Ulti gently rubbed her eyes and woke up.

At this time, Ulti looked confused. She remembered that she didn't bully her brother today. Why did he come to her room and cry so sadly?

"Are you being bullied outside? Hahahaha, Xiaopei, you finally know how to complain to my sister."

"Don't worry, I am the only one in this world who can bully you. I will avenge you right away!"

Ulti suddenly stood up, full of fighting spirit and energy. At the same time, she patted her non-existent biceps with an arrogant look, indicating that she was very strong and there would be no problem leaving it to her.

It's so majestic to stand up for your younger brother who was beaten and crying!

With that said, Ulti quickly jumped out of bed and pulled Peggywan to go out. It seemed that she couldn't wait.

"Sister, today is the day of blood sacrifice!"

"Blood Sacrifice! Is there any problem? Isn't it held every year?"

"This year is different...we are all on the list!"

"...Xiao Pei is here too?"

"Um!"

Upon hearing Peggywan's affirmative answer, Ulti suddenly became as dejected as an eggplant beaten by frost.

"That's too much. Xiaopei, you are obviously still so young. Although mom said there is everything in heaven, it shouldn't be any better than at home?"

"Damn~ Does that mean we can't eat the food cooked by our mother in the future?"

"It's decided... today I want to have a meal for ten people, no, at least twenty people, and I will also have my favorite rotating potato tower!"

Ulti's eyes shone brightly and she was talking to herself, leaving a trace of saliva on the corner of her mouth as she spoke.

Peggy Wan, who was on the side, was shaking with anger, and then shouted angrily at Ulti:

"Is now the time to consider such a thing? There is no paradise in this world. When people die, there is nothing. In the end, only a pile of bones will be left."

"We are all on the list, do you understand it or not?"

This is the first time Peggy Wan yells at Ulti.

Although he used to get angry, he was always accommodating to his family and as docile as a little sheep!

"Hey, are you scared?" Ulti looked at Peggywan curiously, but this time, she did not pull her brother's ears because of Peggywan's "rude words".

"Xiao Pei, fear has no effect. In more than six hundred years, there has never been a precedent for a sacrifice to escape."

"At this time, our parents must be more sad and sad than us!"

"I know you are scared, but my sister will be with you and will always be by your side. We are a family, aren't we?"

Ulti smiled sweetly.

Although she is very nervous, she also knows very well that once she is on that list, everything will be a foregone conclusion.

They have nowhere to escape!

At this time, all ships leaving the country must have been tightly controlled by the king's army. There was not even a wooden plank on the seashore!

Not only that, escaping is not only futile, but will also harm your parents.

She doesn't want this.

She wants Peggy Wan to live, which is her biggest wish now, but the reality is cruel and there is nothing she can do.

so,

Just have your last dinner with your family happily!

"I don't want to, I don't want my sister to die as a sacrifice."

"So, run away! No matter how slim the hope is, I will risk my life to get you out of here..."

Snap!

Before Peggy could finish his words, a slap suddenly hit him in the face.

"Dad...dad!"

When he raised his head, he realized that his father, Hector, had arrived beside him at some point.

at the same time,

Mom was also leaning at the door, looking at him and Ulti with a sad face!

"You stupid son who speaks so loudly, where can you escape on your own? You are clearly too busy to take care of yourself, and you still want to protect others. You are really overestimating your own capabilities."

"Speaking of strength, dad, I am also the general of Morist Kingdom after all!"

Hector cursed with hatred.

"But..." Peggy Wan blinked her eyes innocently, and at the same time stood in front of Ulti calmly.

Of course he knew that there was little hope, and he also knew that Hector was the general of the Morist Kingdom. Because of this, he did not dare to discuss it with his parents!

After all, their father had a bad record and had captured too many 'sacrifice' who wanted to escape.

Moreover, their family has long had the consciousness to sacrifice one of them to save the family when necessary.

I just didn’t expect that,

This time he and Ulti both appeared on the list!

"Protecting you is of course my father's responsibility!"

"...The ridiculous idea of ​​sacrificing one of you to save your family will never come up again."

"Please let me act together!"

After saying that,

Hector bowed deeply to his son and daughter.

Naturally, Peggy Wan's little tricks cannot be hidden from his eyes. As the head of the family, it is an unforgivable crime for him to let his children grow up in such an uneasy environment!

And now is the time for atonement!

"I'm sorry, the same goes for mom. I shouldn't instill the idea of ​​self-sacrifice in you. I'm not a qualified mother!"

"Woo~"

Verenis, who was beside her, collapsed on the ground and cried softly.

If given a choice, she naturally doesn't want anyone to get hurt.

pity,

They cannot choose their birth, they cannot choose the country in which they are born, and they cannot change the thinking of the higher-ups and the never-ending war.

"Verenice, go cook! Make Ulti and Peppa Pig's favorite rotating potato tarts and nachos."

"It's been a long time since our family got together to have a good meal. Only when we are full can we have the strength to fight and run away!"

Regarding the process of sacrifice, Hector knew very well that announcing the list of blood sacrifices was only the first step.

The second step is to send troops to monitor the families on the list to prevent them from escaping or resisting.

Of course, if the privileged class is involved, it will be more troublesome, and special people will have to be sent to control the other party's forces and subordinates!

Then someone will take the sacrifices to the sacrifice place designated by the palace.

Now their family is probably under surveillance. If they act rashly, they will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by heavy troops!

But Hector was not in a hurry. He knew very well that now was not the best time to escape, and what they had to do now was to delay time.

Over more than 600 years, more than 400 sacrifices have been held, and public resentment has boiled to the extreme, with a major outbreak occurring every few years!

According to his observations during normal patrols, this year is no exception, and the scale will definitely not be small.

And when those resisting forces rioted, it was the time for their family to escape!

…

Two hours later,

The family sat around the dining table and feasted. In addition to what was on the table, there were dozens of plates of various delicacies in the kitchen.

At this time, there is naturally no need to save!

"Woooo~ The rotating potato tart made by mom is so delicious. I can finally eat it as much as I want."

"Damn my stomach, I can't bear to eat at this level. I'm so unwilling!"

Ulti rubbed her bulging belly with a face full of grief and anger, trying to make the food inside digest quickly.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t have much effect!

"Sister, you have already eaten for thirty people." Looking at the mountains of dishes beside Ulti, Peggywan reminded her in time.

Compared with Ulti, Peggywan is much more "gentle". He doesn't want to eat so much that he won't even be able to escape!

certainly,

He had no intention of persuading Ulti to eat less. After all, this was most likely the last supper for their family.

"Hahahaha, you are indeed my daughter. Not only does she have an amazing appetite, but she can also fight as well as any other boy!"

"Huh? This is the first time my father has praised me for my fighting skills. Aren't you going to act like a lady today?"

"It's no longer necessary. If someone breaks in later, no matter who it is, don't show mercy!"

Hector shook his head.

Judging from the current situation, Ulti should not talk about getting married in the future, but should survive first!

"Hehe, I know, just like usual, beat all those people until their noses are bruised and their faces are swollen."

"No, kill them!"

"Can't we knock him down?"

"No! Those people are different from your previous opponents. Even if they are defeated, they still pose a huge threat. They have guns in their hands. As long as you pull the trigger lightly, one of you may die!"

oh?

Ulti touched his forehead, looking thoughtful, as if he understood what his father said.

"Crash!"

Sudden,

Ulti violently pushed down the small mountain of dishes, and fiercely took out a ferocious and heavy mace from behind.

This is one of the weapons Hector keeps in the storeroom.

Although he really wanted Ulti to choose a sharper sword, after all, in his opinion, smart weapons are more suitable for girls.

pity,

His cute little cotton-padded jacket seems to have a soft spot for this weapon.

Who knows how Ulti can use it so skillfully and smoothly? He obviously often teaches her how to be a gentle lady!

"This won't work. Xiaopei and her mother are too weak, and her father doesn't seem to be strong enough. In this case..."

"Then kill them all!!!"

Peggy Wan: “…”

Verenis: "..."

Hector: "?!!"
