"Attack!"
Arrita roared, and the six pirates who were about to execute her drew their machetes and raised them high.
The expressions of the six rebels and guards kneeling on the ground were different.
Their captain was like a crazy beast, his bloodshot eyes staring at the female pirate Arita, as if he wanted to take this hatred to the underworld and never forget it.
There was another person who received such special care, and that person was Fang Lang.
He could feel the deathly stillness in the eyes of one of them. There were complicated emotions, regret, and hatred. The young man who was about to die moved his lips and uttered three inaudible syllables.
"You lied to me!"
Fang Lang felt extremely guilty. He was too naive. In order to protect his reputation, ordinary pirates had to kill all those who resisted. Why didn't he understand this simple logic a few minutes ago?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry…I was too naive, too naive, too naive.
If I had the overwhelming power, if I had a greater say, perhaps you wouldn't have to die.
I…can't even protect a few innocent civilians?
Fang Lang's mood became very heavy, and the anxiety in his heart immediately appeared on his face.
He had to do something.
The pirates who were executing the punishment were expressionless. They raised their cold weapons high and mercilessly swung them down. The guards whose hands were suppressed could not resist at all. They could only wait for the moment when their lives ended in endless fear.
"Wait!" Unable to open his eyes and watch the six of them die, Fang Lang finally shouted.
"Hmm?"
Arita frowned and said unhappily,""Fang Lang, what are you doing?"
" I…I…" Fang Lang opened his mouth.
Think quickly, I have to come up with a viable excuse. In times of crisis, the eloquence that I usually use to get rid of my teacher finally came into play at this time.
"Yes, they can help us move things.”"It's not worth it to kill them," said Fang Lang hurriedly. Miss Arita, think about it carefully. If we kill them, the navy will definitely pursue us and even attract bounty hunters. Of course, the Arrita Pirates have nothing to fear. However, if we were only looting, the navy would have a lower danger rating for us, which would be beneficial for our future operations. Besides…we've gotten quite a lot of good stuff in this operation. We can totally let these people do the hard work and have them help us move them onto the ship.”
"Oh?" Upon hearing his words, the pirates nodded in admiration." Fang Lang, you're quite smart."”
"Haha, Fang Lang is right. Compared to killing them, isn't it better to let them work for us?”
"That's right, that's right. We robbed so many things this time. I was thinking that it would take some effort to move them back. This solved the problem.”
Arita's expression also relaxed slightly. She nodded and said,"Alright, let's not kill them for now. Let these people help us move the things. He also captured more residents and had them transport their things to the coast. Fang Lang, you will be in charge of this matter.”
Hmm? He became a cadre all of a sudden?
Fang Lang suddenly felt a little happy. He quickly nodded and took over the task.
"Understood! Brothers, let's gather the residents and the rebels together and let them move the valuables they robbed to the coast. Right, if there are oxcarts or transportation tools, we should make use of them. We should try to leave this damn town before dark. Do you understand? We don't have to wait for the navy to destroy us. We have to retreat as soon as possible!”
Although they had never commanded anyone before, these pirates were afraid of the navy attacking them, so they were obedient and loaded boxes of big and small bags onto the ship.
When the sun was about to set, all the items were finally moved.
Some people tried to resist, but they were quickly subdued by Fang Lang.
After all, no one would be happy to ship their own things to the enemy's ship. However, compared to their own lives, money and jewelry were just worldly possessions.
After a few lessons, everyone became obedient.
"Everything is ready. Miss Arita, please board the ship first."”Fang Lang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to the female pirate who was watching the show.
"Yes, I am. You've done well. I'll promote you to a cadre. In the future, you will be the one to do this kind of thing. Work hard." This was a perfect operation. Not only did they rob a lot of necessities for sea navigation, but they also robbed a lot of goods that circulated between the islands. Therefore, Arita was happy and promoted Fang Lang, who had just joined, to an officer.
This…he couldn't be happy at all.
After experiencing this incident, Fang Lang felt that he had grown a lot. In this era of great pirates, everything was fake. Only his own strength and influence were real.
Fang Lang's goal was even further away than the bullsh * t Arita Pirates. However, before that, he had to find his " navigator " first.
"Alright, I'll do it. Thank you for your trust." Fang Lang casually agreed and watched as Arrita boarded the ship.
He only turned around slowly when the other party disappeared from his sight.
"Fang Lang, what about these people?" a pirate asked.
He was naturally referring to the residents of the small town in front of him. After they delivered the last batch of goods, they were driven to the shore. At this moment, 30 to 40 people were squatting on the ground, looking at Fang Lang with fear in their eyes.
They knew very well that their lives were in the hands of that young man.
Fang Lang let out a long breath and scolded jokingly,"Are you interested in some young lady?"”
The pirate chuckled and was not angry.
The pirates had seen the entire afternoon's command and had already regarded Fang Lang as one of their own. Furthermore, Fang Lang had just been promoted to an officer, so they had heard Arita's voice.
"No, we can't break the rules. And…are you trying to kill us? Let these people go. The navy was not for nothing.”Fang Lang said a few more words and then changed the topic." You guys board the ship first. I'll be the last one to go."”
After Fang Lang glared at the pirates, they obediently boarded the ship.
After they left, Fang Lang took off his hat and walked to the residents who were treated as coolies. He said in a clear voice,"Thank you for your cooperation today. We want money, and you want your lives. Don't take this matter too seriously. It's just losing some money. It's better than losing your life.”
As he spoke, Fang Lang found the young man he had knocked out in the crowd." You should leave quickly. Get lost before I regret my decision." However, you have to wait."
He pointed at the young man.
The rest of the people revealed expressions of having survived a disaster. If they fell into the hands of the pirates, they would most likely die. They did not expect to escape this disaster.
All of them scattered like birds and beasts. In the blink of an eye, almost everyone had left, leaving only a few guards behind.
Fang Lang walked towards them, and the people opposite him were all on guard." I'm very sorry, but I didn't lie to you. You're still alive."”
"But almost all the food in the town has been robbed, and there's no money. Even if you don't kill us, we won't live for long.”The young guard retorted.
"Indeed…but, compared to dying now, you can live a little longer.”Fang Lang took a deep breath and turned to leave. As he walked, he said softly,""Are you unwilling? Do you hate your own powerlessness? Do you want to become stronger? Do you not want to be bullied? My name is Fang Lang. If you want revenge, you can look for me.”
" Are you mocking me?!" A roar of humiliation came from behind.
"Who knows? You'll understand very soon. Although I'm not going to become the Pirate King, my name will resound throughout the world. See you again."
