While Sean and the three were discussing the candidates for the governor of Rhode Island, the fleet was getting closer and closer to Rhode Island.
Lor'themar Theron possesses the [Eagle Eye Technique], which can be used with a telescope to clearly see every move of enemies from very far away. He has always been responsible for detecting the enemy's situation.
Lor'themar stood on the bow of the ship, picked up his telescope, and looked toward the shore.
He saw everything going on on the shore.
A few minutes later, he put down the telescope and walked to Sean to report:
"Sir, the fleet can land safely now. The enemy has not laid any traps on the sea."
"Yeah." Sean nodded.
"But according to my observation," Lor'themar added: "There is still a small resistance force on the island, which should be the remnants of the pirates who escaped on the day of the naval battle."
Four days ago during the Battle of Dolphin Bay, several pirate ships escaped Khadgar and Isabel's pursuit.
They escaped back to Rhodes Island and informed the remaining pirates, and organized a resistance force.
But Sean doesn't care. This little pirate can't make any big waves.
"This is easy to handle!" Sean told Khadgar:
"Khadgar, you and your cousin will fly to the island first to eliminate this small group of remaining pirates. If you encounter any resistance, kill them all!
Of course, if any of them surrender, keep them first and then throw them into the mines to work as coolies."
After Sean finished speaking, he looked at Windsor: "Wendsor, order the fleet to move forward at full speed. The naval soldiers on the frigate are also ready to land and occupy the port and the pirate's nest!"
"Understood!" Khadgar and Windsor replied immediately.
.
The current resistance forces on Rhodes Island are basically scattered (Urban) soldiers (joined together) and wandering (Zhi) brave (people).
The real elite pirates had been wiped out four days ago, and the pirates who escaped and those who stayed behind to guard their homes were not very strong.
The remaining pirates on the shore were also very nervous.
They saw a large number of warships appearing on the sea level, at least two or three times more than their original pirate fleet!
Seeing the enemy's army approaching the border, the morale of the pirates on the shore immediately dropped to the bottom.
Khadgar and Isabel also took action, flew above the remaining pirate forces, and shouted to the people below:
"Everyone, listen! Your main force has been wiped out!
The top pirates were either killed in battle or captured by us, and all the warships were captured.
Now, on behalf of the Principality of Lane, I ask you to throw away your weapons and surrender immediately! If you refuse to surrender, the only outcome will be death!"
Khadgar and Isabel used magic (vindictive energy) to strengthen their voices and conveyed their voices to the ears of every pirate in the port.
At the same time, their momentum was at full strength, and the pressure from the sky level came down from top to bottom, covering the entire port.
The morale of the pirates was already very low, and now it has collapsed:
"We surrender!"
"We are willing to surrender!"
"Please don't kill me! I still have family and children..."
The pirates threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, expressing their willingness to surrender.
.
Of course, not everyone is willing to surrender, and some are not so clear-headed:
"Shet! If you kill my son, I will not surrender even if I die!"
"For the glory of the Pirate King!"
"Brothers, kill me! Kill one to get your money back, two will be considered a profit!"
At this time, the Lane frigate had docked at the port, and this group of reckless pirates rushed forward with weapons in hand, hoping to perish together with the enemy.
Isabel frowned and dived into the crowd of pirates.
A sweep of the long sword caused immediate death and injury.
Then she picked up the two leading pirates with the tip of her sword and hung them directly on the flagpole.
The remaining pirates immediately became honest.
.
The naval officers on the frigate rushed off the ship one after another and quickly occupied the island's ports, pirate camps, traffic arteries, and defense facilities.
Basically there was no decent resistance.
Sean was flying in the air riding the [Activated Broom], supervising the occupation work below, while also admiring the beautiful scenery of Rhode Island.
Until he saw a group of castles, he was so startled that he almost fell off the broom.
The pirate strongholds are several towering castles.
I don’t know if it’s due to the inertia of humans in this world, but all pirates’ lairs are castles.
And the scale of these castles is even much larger than the Golden Wolf King Castle of the Marquis of the River!
In the environment of Rhodes Island, there is no need for pirates to build castles.
Castles on land have value for defense, hoarding supplies, and stationing troops. The castles on Rhodes Island have only symbolic meaning at best and have no practical value.
If they had used this money to invest in the construction of the navy, their current end...actually would not be different, it would still be defeat.
Thinking of this, Sean felt a little embarrassed.
.
Windsor took the lead and led his troops to occupy the castle complex.
The servants, maids, guards, and the pirates' families inside were all "kindly" invited out by him.
These people will definitely not be killed, and Sean is not afraid of them trying to take revenge. Only by throwing them away for mining can greater value be exerted.
After the naval officers completely occupied the castle complex, Windsor came out and said to Sean in the sky:
"Sir, we have occupied the pirate's lair and will start counting the harvest and dealing with the prisoners later."
"Very good!" Sean praised.
At the same time, Sean thought of something and added: "By the way, there are a total of 36 settlements on Rhode Island. We will rectify this largest settlement first according to the plan last night.
After subsequent support arrives, we will occupy and reorganize other residential areas."
The so-called "residential areas" refer to areas where humans gather, that is, villages and towns of various sizes.
"Understood, sir." Windsor gave a military salute to Sean in the sky, and then directed his soldiers to launch a clearing of the "reactionary forces" in this settlement.
.
The so-called "reactionary forces" refer to slave owners, landlords, and gangsters.
Last night, Sean held a very important meeting, known in history as...
Sorry there is no history for this meeting yet.
But this meeting is quite important.
At the meeting, Sean determined one thing, which was to implement "land reform" in Rhode Island.
Sean has always represented Rhode Island's advanced productivity development requirements.
The slave-owning class, landlord class, and gang forces are purely obstacles to the development of productive forces.
So Sean defined them as "reactionary forces".
Of course, there are also these "reactionary forces" in Kapur Port, and there are many of them.
However, the major forces in Kapur Port are intertwined and intertwined, making it very difficult to carry out reforms.
Rhode Island is different.
