Without the command of the captain, first mate and boatswain, it is naturally impossible for these illiterate sailors who may not even know the words to organize effective resistance.
Not to mention organized resistance, many were frightened and jumped directly into the sea, hoping to swim across the shallow water to reach the beach.
But without exception, they were killed by crossbow arrows.
Generally, the swimming speed of human beings in the sea hardly exceeds the limit of 100 meters per minute.
One minute is enough for the crossbow to fire several rounds.
In addition, it was just in time for low tide, and the corpses and dark red blood quickly dyed the sea surface red.
As for the remaining guys who did not jump into the sea and tried to resist, after seven or eight people were hacked to death, they all knelt on the ground and chose to surrender.
After all, there are more than two hundred pirates, including ferocious and terrifying monsters like hobgoblins and ogres.
The former are not like their relatives, the goblins, who are a group of chaotic, stupid, timid pests who like to cause destruction.
They are militarists who are about the same size as humans or slightly taller, are proficient in various weapons and armors, and can command their subordinates to impose prohibitions.
The hobgoblins have a very strict hierarchy.
Some human rulers from the evil camp will even recruit them as officers to join their armies in order to improve the soldiers' combat effectiveness and obedience.
As for the latter ogre, just its tall and strong body, which is close to that of a giant, is enough to make humans who face it despair.
These guys who will eat any creature they encounter are three meters tall and weigh more than 150 kilograms.
The destructive force produced by just picking up the stick and smashing it down can easily kill a strong horse.
Looking at the young sailor on the deck of the merchant ship who has only four limbs left, his torso almost turned into a pile of rotten flesh, and only one of his kidneys that flew out is still intact, you know that the power of the ogre is definitely not something that ordinary people can compete with. Just as the captured sailors were squatting on the deck and shivering, waiting for their fate to be pronounced, the pirate captain "Bloody Hand" Hallett finally appeared.
Unlike the rumors of a ferocious expression, he looks very handsome, about forty years old, with refreshing short hair and a goatee.
The whole thing gives people a feeling of maturity, vicissitudes and wisdom.
Hallett is wearing a white shirt produced by Amn and a dark blue captain's coat.
On the legs is a pair of black pants of unknown material.
On her feet are a pair of brown waterproof leather boots.
Wearing a three-cornered hat.
Most importantly, the two weapons hanging from the pirate captain's belt are very special.
One handle is a very luxurious-looking scimitar, with a sparkling blue gem the size of a quail egg inlaid at the end of the handle;
The other one is the complete opposite, an inconspicuous dagger, completely black and non-reflective.
If nothing else, they should all be magic weapons.
The moment Hallett stepped on the deck of the merchant ship, all the pirates, whether they were humans, orcs, hobgoblins, or those not-so-smart ogres, raised their hands and shouted loudly in common language.
"Welcome to the great Captain Bloodhand!"
"Under your leadership! We successfully captured prey on the sea again!"
"You are the supreme ruler of this sea area! The uncrowned king!"
"Oh oh oh oh!!!!!!"
There is no doubt that this man has completely won the support of his men.
Some guys even worship him fanatically and are proud to obey every order he gives.
Hallett was already familiar with this kind of small scene, and immediately nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job! Now, bring the son of the owner of Roldan Chamber of Commerce. I can't wait to hear what he said after learning the truth.
, letting out a wail of pain and despair."
"Uh... Captain, we have searched the entire ship and have not found the son of the owner of Roldan Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention him, even the captain, first mate and boatswain of this merchant ship are missing.
"A hobgoblin carefully explained.
"What? You mean they ran away!" Hallett's eyes instantly flashed with a chilling light.
The hobgoblin did not answer the question himself. Instead, he pulled a captured sailor out of the crowd, pulled his hair and threatened fiercely: "If you don't want to die, repeat what you just said.
.Remember, if you make one mistake, I will cut out your tongue."
"Don't... don't kill me! Don't cut my tongue! The owner, captain, first mate and boatswain left us and fled in a small boat when the ship ran aground. They should have hid in the bushes on the island by now
."
The human sailor was obviously frightened, and he shook out everything he knew.
Especially when the captain is mentioned, his face is full of anger and hatred.
"Abandoning the merchant ship and valuable cargo and fleeing to the island? It seems that this time the target is smarter and more decisive than we expected." Hallet commented, stroking the beard on his chin.
"Captain, what should we do now? Land on the island and search?" the hobgoblin asked in an uncertain tone.
After all, just the cargo under your feet is already worth a lot of money.
He even wants to take the ship and goods back and sell them to black market merchants, and then get his share of the money to drink and have fun.
If we go to the island to search, with more than 200 pirates, it would be extremely difficult to find four hiding people.
You may search for several days without any results.
But Hallett responded without thinking: "Of course I have to go to the island!
Do you know how huge the assets of the Roldan Chamber of Commerce, which has been passed down for generations, are?
Do you know how many merchant ships they have and how many trade lines they control?
The income you get from doing this job is simply not comparable to a mere shipment of goods.
Leave some people to guard the prisoners and ships, and all the rest go to the island.
Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we still have to find Bernard."
Following the order from Captain "Bloody Hand", the pirates jumped on the boat and paddled vigorously towards the beach not far away.
No one realized that they were not the only ones on the island, as well as four guys who escaped from the merchant ship.
There is also a planeswalker and the creatures he summoned.
……
"Businessmen? Pirates? Chases and battles at sea? It's a bit interesting..."
Zuo Si, who was hiding in the bushes, saw everything that just happened, with an expression of interest on his young face.
He did not rush to contact the four people who landed in the small boat first, nor did he rush to attack the pirates. Instead, he planned to find out the truth behind it first.
To put it simply, you just hide in the dark and watch the show.
When the time is right, decide to show up to help one of them, and then take a smooth sailing boat to leave this desolate and uninhabited island.
After formulating an action plan, Zuo Si reached out and gently touched the leopard lying behind him, and said in a polar voice: "Let's go, Red. It's time to hunt. Let's capture a few prisoners first and figure it out.
The identities and purposes of the two groups of people."
"Roar!"
The leopard let out a low roar, its two yellowish eyes revealing excitement and anticipation.
Although it did not understand the meaning of the entire sentence, it understood the word "hunting".
One person and one leopard quickly disappeared into the dense woods, weeds and shrubs.
After a while, the three human pirates who gathered together to search were spotted.
