"Go and report the situation here to the young master immediately. I will be in charge of keeping an eye on this guy."

Hyel nodded. With the strength of Knight Foster, it would be easy for him to massacre the entire camp, not to mention the useless guard whose tendons in both hands were cut.

"Okay, I'll leave right away."

Looking at Hyell's back which was gradually moving away, Foster gave a kind smile to the pirate leader lying on the ground.

"It's time for you to make your final contribution."

————

It was the next morning when Kroeber met Foster again. The pirate camp was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. All the pirates squatted quietly in the open space in front of the leader's stone house, their expressions showing a hint of frustration and fear.

In the middle of the open space, the bodies of several unfortunate people were lying in a mess.

Judging from the situation at the scene, these people had tried to stand up and resist, but they obviously paid a heavy price - their heads moved to a place where their bodies could not reach.

Since landing on the island, Kroeber has been carefully observing the terrain of Second Daughter Island.

After some research, he found that the island had a dangerous terrain and obvious defensive advantages.

As long as a solid wall is built between the two rocky peaks, it will be possible to effectively resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

Even if the enemy's number is twice or even three times that of ours, it would be difficult to break through this line of defense easily.

Such unique geographical conditions made Kroeber very interested in this island.

"What's going on?"

Kroeber was asking about this group of pirates.

"Sir, these pirates have looted an enormous amount of property from Black Feather Island. We have brought too few people who can sail this ship with us. I have decided to spare their lives and will deal with them after they have transported the property to Black Feather Island."

"Um……"

Krober nodded. This group of pirates was indeed of some use to him, but there seemed to be too many of them.

"Give the order and have these people report on each other. I will give them ten spots to fill my guard. The first ten people who report the most or the most serious cases will have the opportunity to join my guard."

"yes!"

Under Kroeber's orders, these pirates began to report their companions in order to survive.

Some people pointed at the people next to them and yelled, "You hid the treasure before!" Others retorted, "Nonsense! It was obviously you who took the goods first!"

For a moment, the whole scene became chaotic, everyone was blaming and cursing each other, and some people even started fighting.

The people who were reported were not willing to be outdone. Not only did they curse the reporters, they also turned around and exposed the crimes that the reporters had committed.

After a fierce dispute and chaos, ten people with relatively minor crimes were finally selected from the group of pirates.

However, there was hostility and resentment among these ten people. They disliked each other because they had exposed each other in the process of reporting just now and tried to kill each other.

At this moment, the ten people stood in a circle, glaring at each other. The atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if a fierce conflict would break out at any time.

Looking at the tense scene before him, Krober felt secretly proud.

This is exactly the effect he wants. Only when these people are no longer united and internal conflicts and disputes arise, will they rely more on his authority as the "leader" to maintain order.

Kroeber knew that if these people were united, they would likely unite to resist his rule, but now the relationship between them was broken and deep rifts existed between them.

In this case, they can only rely on his power of speech to gain status and benefits.

In this way, Krober could firmly control these ten people and ensure his absolute dominance among them.

Seeing that the time had come, Kroeber cleared his throat and said loudly, "Alright, quiet down! Now that we've chosen, there's no need to fight anymore."

He turned around and spoke to Foster and others.

“Now, we need to discuss how to attack Little Sister Island so as to gain the greatest benefit with the least loss.

If anyone has any good ideas, please speak up."
