Forget organizing resistance. Many were so frightened that they simply jumped into the sea, trying to swim across the shallow water to the beach.

But in the end, they were all shot to death by crossbows.

The average human swimming speed in the ocean rarely exceeds the limit of 100 meters per minute.

One minute is enough time for the crossbow to fire several rounds.

In addition, it was low tide, and the corpses and dark red blood quickly dyed the sea red.

As for the remaining guys who did not jump into the sea and tried to resist, after seven or eight of them were hacked to death, they all knelt on the ground and chose to surrender.

After all, there were more than two hundred pirates, including ferocious and terrifying monsters like hobgoblins and ogres.

The former are not like their goblin cousins, who are a group of chaotic, stupid, cowardly and destructive pests.

Instead, they are militaristic (anti-harmonious) nationalists who are about the same size as humans or slightly taller, are proficient in various weapons and protective gear, and can make their subordinates obey orders.

There is a very strict hierarchy among the hobgoblins.

Some human rulers of the evil camp would even recruit them as officers to join their own armies in order to improve the soldiers' combat effectiveness and obedience.

As for the latter ogre, its size, which is almost as tall and strong as a giant, is enough to make humans who face it feel despair.

These guys, who will eat any living creature they encounter, are three meters tall and weigh over 150 kilograms.

The destructive force generated by swinging the stick down alone can easily kill a strong horse.

Looking at the young sailor on the deck of the merchant ship, who had only his limbs left, his torso almost turned into a pool of rotten flesh, and only one kidney that had flown out and was still relatively intact, you can tell that the power of the ogre is definitely not something that ordinary people can contend with.

Just as the captured sailors were squatting on the deck, shivering and waiting for the verdict of their fate, the pirate captain "Bloody Hand" Harlet finally appeared.

Unlike the hideous and ferocious expression in the rumors, he looked very handsome, about forty years old, with neat short hair and a goatee.

The overall feeling is mature, experienced and full of wisdom.

Hallett was wearing a white shirt made in Am and a dark blue captain's coat.

On his legs were a pair of black pants of unknown material.

On his feet he wore a pair of brown waterproof leather boots.

Wearing a three-cornered hat.

Most importantly, the two weapons hanging from this pirate captain's belt are very special.

One was a very luxurious-looking scimitar, with a sparkling blue gem as big as a quail egg inlaid on the end of the handle;

The other one was a completely different, inconspicuous dagger, completely black and non-reflective.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should all be magic weapons.

The moment Hallet put one foot on the deck of the merchant ship, all the pirates, whether they were humans, orcs, hobgoblins, or those not-so-intelligent ogres, raised their hands and shouted loudly in the common language.

"Welcome to the great Captain Bloody Hand!"

"Under your leadership, we have once again successfully captured prey in the sea!"

"You are the supreme ruler of this sea! The uncrowned king!"

"OO ...

There is no doubt that this man has completely won the support of his subordinates.

Some guys even worship him fanatically and take pride in obeying every order he gives.

Hallett was already familiar with this kind of small scene, and he nodded with satisfaction immediately: "You did a good job! Now, bring up the son of the owner of the Roldan Chamber of Commerce. I can't wait to hear his painful and desperate wail after he learns the truth."

"Uh... Captain, we have searched the entire ship, but we didn't find the son of the owner of the Roldan Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention him, even the captain, first mate and boatswain of this merchant ship are missing." A goblin explained cautiously.

The hobgoblin did not answer the question himself. Instead, he pulled a captured sailor out of the crowd, grabbed his hair and threatened him viciously: "If you don't want to die, repeat what you just said. Remember, if you make a mistake, I will cut off your tongue."

"Don't... don't kill me! Don't cut my tongue! The owner, the captain, the first mate and the boatswain abandoned us and fled in a small boat when the ship ran aground. They should have hidden in the bushes on the island now."

The human sailor was obviously frightened and blurted out everything he knew.

Especially when mentioning the captain, his face was full of anger and hatred.

"Abandoning the merchant ship and valuable cargo and fleeing to the island? It seems that this target is smarter and more decisive than we expected." Hallett commented, stroking his beard.

"Captain, what should we do now? Go to the island and search?" the hobgoblin asked in an uncertain tone.

After all, the cargo on this ship alone is worth a lot of money.

He would rather take the ship and the cargo back and sell them to black market merchants, then get his share of the money to drink and enjoy himself.

If they were to go to the island to search, it would be extremely difficult for more than 200 pirates to find the four hiding people.

You may search for several days without any results.

But Hallett responded without hesitation: “Of course we 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 routes they control?

The profits gained from completing this mission are simply incomparable to that of a mere shipload of goods.

Some people were left to guard the prisoners and ships, and the rest went to the island.

Even if we have to dig deep into the ground, we will find Bernard."

Following an order from Captain "Blood Hand", the pirates jumped onto the boats and paddled hard, rushing towards the beach not far away.

No one realized that they and the four guys who escaped from the merchant ship were not the only ones on the island.

There is also a planeswalker and the creatures he summoned.

…

"Merchants? Pirates? Chasing and fighting on the sea? Interesting..."

Zuo Si, who was hiding in the bushes, saw everything that had just happened, and an expression of interest appeared on his young face.

He was not in a hurry to contact the four people who first landed in a small boat, nor did he rashly attack the pirates. Instead, he planned to find out the truth behind it first.

Simply put, it means hiding in the dark and watching the show.

When the time is right, he will decide to show up to help one of the parties, and then take a ride on a favorable boat to leave this desolate and uninhabited island.

After formulating the 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 find out the identities and purposes of the two groups."

"roar!"

The leopard let out a low growl, and its two yellow eyes revealed excitement and anticipation.

Although it didn't understand the meaning of the whole sentence, it understood the word "hunting".

The man and the leopard quickly disappeared into the dense woods, weeds and bushes.

After a while, the three human pirates who were searching together were targeted.
