Chapter 237 237. Embers

The melodious alarm bells sounded, and the whole city fell into panic.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. I heard thunder."

“That was the sound of a gunshot.”

The tall elemental guards were followed by a large number of regular troops.

Each elemental guard is a powerful being comparable to the awakened attribute fighting spirit, giving people a strong sense of spiritual comfort.

An Ke roamed the battlefield like a ghost, fighting with several Limit Breakers and killing them.

She seemed a little sleepy, with a lazy posture and no interest in fighting. However, she was still strong and terrifying enough in people's eyes.

The pirates were defeated and fled in all directions.

"Master, excessive killing is not good." Mosuofei stood side by side with Lovey on the high top of the turret, looking at the one-sided scene with some reluctance.

This can't be called a battle at all. He didn't want to see the peaceful Donggang City stained with blood.

"These people are pirates. Those who choose to go down this path have almost no chance of reforming themselves." Lovi felt deeply regretful when he saw a good-looking girl being killed.

A sentence popped into my mind: How can a beautiful woman become a thief? The first wave of pirates who landed encountered a crushing attack and hardly caused any waves.

Only less than one-tenth of the 3,000 people were still resisting.

What were they expecting? Lowe sensed the second wave of ships approaching.

A dazzling orange-red flame burst out on the sea.

Evelyn's output was frantic, and balls of transparent amber liquid fell on the magic ship and exploded one after another.

Ships either sank or caught fire in the sea.

The pirates were on fire and kept jumping into the water like dumplings.

"How come her firepower is so strong!"

Yarsin, the leader of the Red Devil Pirates, leaned on the sea surface, stared at the dragon chariot in the sky with wide eyes, and screamed in an unbalanced state of mind.

He finally understood why Evelyn could cause such a commotion in the French Magic Kingdom all by herself.

"It's not time to admit defeat yet." The leader of the Dreamless tried to shoot water bombs at Evelyn. In the sea, its strength was increased, enough to deal with the strong men in the Sanctuary.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Black Skull's fleet returned.

He took away more than 10,000 people under his command.

From then on, the sneak attack plan was completely declared a failure.

Now the only thought of all the captains is how to preserve their own strength as much as possible.

As fire rained down from the sky, all the ships began to burn at the same time. The dazzling flames penetrated the mist and could be clearly seen even by people on the shore.

Yarsin swam towards the shore with his head down. Smartly, he did not go ashore directly, preferring to take the risk of swimming further away.

As for my men, I can no longer take care of them. Fortunately, there are no dangerous fish in the sea near the coast.

Some small fish are often caught by fishermen in Donggang City, and their numbers have decreased.

This will in turn affect the patronage of medium and large fish.

Yarsin lay on the beach, all wet, and ran away with all his might. He looked extremely miserable, like a dog that had lost its home.

A glimmer of light appeared in the distant sky.

The flaming sailboat ran aground on the shore due to the waves.

Everyone felt heartbroken and regretful.

If these ships could become spoils of war, the prosperity of the territory would undoubtedly rise to a higher level. What is most lacking now is ships that can sail freely.

Most of these ships can accommodate about a hundred people, making them perfect for caravans to conduct trade.

The burning magic ship gradually became a wreck.

The pirates who swam hard to the shore were surrounded and blocked by soldiers and citizens. If they resisted at all, they would probably die.

Lodel dispatched swift dragon cavalry to search for the fugitives along the coast, and asked towns and villages to be on high alert against strangers.

As the sun slowly rises from the sea.

More and more people appeared on the city streets. Fulinbao did not take any measures to keep silent about the battle that took place before dawn.

Explain in detail to the public.

Because of Fulin Castle's wealth, it was targeted by pirates with evil intentions.

Very easy to understand.

The overwhelming victory was also a relief.

Afterwards, the battlefield was cleaned up and the damage was counted.

The Fulinbao side lost a total of thirty-five people, most of whom were masters who rushed into the crowd and launched retaliatory killings.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

More than 3,000 pirates were killed or wounded, and 8,000 were captured.

The rest either died in Evelyn's bombing, fled, or were poor swimmers and did not make it to shore.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the more than 10,000 members of the Black Skull Pirates turned back and fled.

The quantities roughly match.

The question of how to deal with the prisoners was discussed openly in the Square of the Executive Hall.

Pirates are not welcome in any world, and the excited citizens strongly demanded that the lord hang these criminals.

It is almost impossible for a so-called kind pirate to exist. Burning, killing and looting are their real job.

No one would have mercy on pirates.

Messoff thought that killing more than 8,000 prisoners at one time was too brutal.

"Then send these people to mine and build roads."

"For a lifetime?"

"We need to give people some hope. If they are willing to work normally and gain the approval of supervisors, I think it will take about ten years."

"Ten years is not a short time! What if these people run away? We may not have enough manpower to watch over these 8,000 people."

"There will always be a way. Let's detain him first."

The prisoners were escorted to several mines in batches. A hundred guards were arranged at the entrance. The prisoners would work in exchange for food.

Everyone was quite satisfied with this result, and the whole story was published in a weekly magazine.

Except for the miners. "Lord, do you think we miners belong to the lowest level of profession?"

"No, you are protected miners, but they are illegal miners, working in a much more dangerous environment than you. They do the hardest work, but they don't get paid. If you think about it this way, is it understandable?"

Lowe calmed the protesting miners.

Then, he called the person in charge of the blacksmith workshop to discuss the making of shackles.

The technology is very simple. Just make a mold and you can cast it easily.

Thanks to the day and night labor of these prisoners, Donggang City's coal and steel production increased significantly.

The direct benefit is that the railway can be built faster. The railway from the port to Fulinbao passes through the mausoleum area and makes a slight detour. The total length is 5.3 kilometers.

This is just the first stop, just the beginning.

Eventually, the railway will connect the entire territory. A few days later, bad news came.

The pirates were roaming around the territory, causing a lot of casualties. Fortunately, the governors of the villages and towns were equipped with guns and had a certain ability to resist. Both sides suffered losses, so the battle report was not too bad.

The Principality asked if they needed to send out personnel? "Of course we do. It's ok for these people to sneak away, but they dare to cause trouble?" Lo Wei signed the document smoothly.
