This was the agreed meeting point, which was already very far from the prison. Tongo and the pirate driving the carriage were the first to return. After listening to Tang Ge's story, the pirate was very depressed. He leaned against the wall and said nothing.
Tango was halfway through his drumstick when he heard footsteps and looked towards the door. The door was pushed open heavily. One-eye and the others walked in with dark faces. One of them had an injury in his abdomen. He was covered in blood and was on the verge of death.
"What's the situation in the prison? Where's Captain Kam?”One-eye asked anxiously as soon as he entered. The injured pirate was also waiting for the answer with concern, as if he cared more about the captain than himself.
When One-eyed and the others heard this, their expressions became even more distressed.
"What should we do?" One of the pirates sat on the ground dejectedly.
"I bought some food for you. Eat and drink if you need to.”Tang Ge pointed at the pile of food under the wall. Seeing that none of the pirates were in the mood to eat, he asked," What's wrong with you guys? I was fine even after killing seven enemies, but you guys who set up an ambush were injured like this. Eh? There seemed to be one person missing. Could he be dead?”
One-eyed nodded." One died. When we were escaping, we ran into the navy. Someone recognized me and was chased very badly. One of my brothers took a bullet for me.”
"Then what do you plan to do next?" asked Tang Ge with a wry smile.”
He felt that the situation wasn't good and lamented that it would be a little difficult to get 1500 points. However, on second thought, if Carm was executed, these people would become jobless and could be incorporated into the Black Pearl, especially One-eyed, who was quite powerful.
One-eyed and the others didn't say anything. Clearly, they didn't have any good ideas. Tongo had no friendship with Carm and did not care about his life or death. He ate with relish. Later, One-eye slapped his thigh and said that he could only save the captain after eating. Only then did these people reluctantly eat.
After they finished eating, they began to discuss how to rescue the captain. After much thought, they finally decided to take action on the day of the execution. One-eye was responsible for being a sniper near the execution ground, and Tongo volunteered to be a sniper. The rest of the people were responsible for saving Carm by force. They had smoke grenades in their hands that could disrupt the scene.
Of course, the range of the flintlock was not enough to give birth to the Sniper class. This was just an expression.
Tang Ge planned to improvise. If there was really no hope, he would stop in time. If there was a 30% chance, he would help.
Pirates were the most active criminal group in the Great Voyage Era. When the nobles of the Empire mentioned pirates, their brains would hurt. The Empire had a deep hatred for pirates. Many of the royal merchant ships had been robbed by pirates, often causing the Empire to suffer huge losses.
The five empires were extremely strict with their punishments for pirates. When they caught a pirate captain, they would often be sentenced to death, and this death penalty was also varied.
On the day of the execution.
The execution ground in Port Carlin had been prepared for Carm. On the five-yard tall wooden platform, there was a door with a mechanism in the middle. Once the mechanism was pulled open, the condemned prisoner would fall down.
What welcomed the criminal was the Piranha Flower's bloody mouth.
The execution time was set at noon.
The public execution was to kill a chicken to show the monkeys. At the same time, it would let the civilians throw some rotten eggs on the pirates. It would also let the merchants who had been robbed by pirates vent their hatred. This way, the merchants would be willing to pay taxes.
The prisoner wearing a black hood was brought up. His healthy body was covered in wounds, and there were not many good places on his body. He was wearing heavy handcuffs and shackles, and his skin, which often rubbed against metal, was already lacerated.
The black hood was removed, revealing a resolute face.
"Captain Carm!" On the roof of a three-story residential building in the distance, One-eyed could not help but shout when he saw this scene.
"Damn it, I really want to save the captain immediately.”
"Don't act rashly. We have to wait until there are more people watching before we act. At that time, we'll set fire to the surroundings and mess up the scene. That way, it'll be easier to act.”
This bad idea came from Tang Ge, just like the phrase 'take advantage of a burning house'.
Tang Ge glanced at the execution ground. There were about 100 sailors maintaining order on the ground, but it was not particularly many.
The businessman walked to the execution platform with high morale, and his men behind him carried two baskets of eggs for him.
Someone in the crowd recognized him and muttered,""It's that crafty medicine merchant Naeem. Why is he here?”
"Hmph, it's this bastard. If he hadn't set the price of the medicine so high, my brother wouldn't have died of illness.”
Naeem nodded to the executioner on the stage, and the executioner responded without any change in expression. The two of them had made a deal before, and Naeem was allowed to say a few words on stage today.
"Carm, you robbed two of my ships before, causing me to lose at least five thousand gold coins.”Naeem said resentfully.
"So what? Maybe in our next life, I'll still be a pirate, and you'll still be a merchant.”Carm said weakly. Although he hadn't been executed yet, he only had one breath left.
"Throw it!"
With a command, his men began to throw eggs at the stage. Soon, Carm was in a sorry state. The egg skin hung on his nose, and the egg yolk made his hair wet. The executioner stood back and watched the scene in front of him silently.
One-eyed saw this scene and was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He turned around and said to Tang Ge,"I'll definitely settle scores with this person in the future!”
Tang Ge nodded and did not reply. He had been cleaning his gun seriously since just now, looking for the feeling of a sniper.
"If you throw an egg at me for every person I kill, then these eggs are far from enough. These eggs were only about one-tenth of the original size.”Carm said casually.
Naeem regretted taking too few eggs, but when he thought of Carm's impending execution, his mood soared again and he left with his men. Behind him, there was always a group of people pointing at him.
"You're a demon who kills people like flies," the executioner said in a low voice."What's there to be proud of now?”
"I've never been proud of myself for killing so many people. The only people who can make me proud are those brothers on the ship.”
"Ridiculous. Don't forget that you were betrayed by your own brother.”The executioner scoffed.
Carm said as if his heart was being stabbed.
Seeing how much pain Carm was in, the executioner's lips curled into an imperceptible smile.
Carm's expression changed drastically. He raised his head and shouted,"" Who was killed by you?!"
The executioner described the general appearance of the deceased, and Carm let out a heart-wrenching wail.
