According to the information obtained from Haier, the mysterious team composed of the people of the sea is currently resting on Komeito Island.
The area of Xiaomei Island is relatively small compared to other islands, and that group of people all live near the shore.
In this way, their field of vision will become very broad and their concentration will be very high, making it impossible to outsmart them.
In this situation, Kroeber had no choice but to lead his army to attack and defeat the enemy with the strength of his own side.
After a detailed survey of the entire fortress, Hermann reported to Kroeber:
“Sir, we have checked the dungeon and found that only some female civilians and a small number of young and middle-aged men are left there.
According to them, the pirates threw those who were old, weak, injured or sick into the sea to feed the fish, claiming that it was a waste of food.
"Currently, there are about fifty female civilians and twenty young men in the dungeon. I don't know what to do with them."
Hermann continued to ask.
Krober was quite surprised to hear that there were only a few civilians left after being plundered. Logically speaking, as a prosperous area, the population of Black Feather Island should not be too small.
A small island should have a population of several thousand people.
But apart from the remaining people on Heiyu Island, there are less than a hundred people left after being looted.
If he becomes the Baron of Black Feather Island in the future, and he can't even gather a thousand people under his command, won't he be laughed at by others if the news gets out!
Krober frowned. This was the first bad news he heard today.
"Don't worry about them for now, just let the ten pirates who have surrendered be responsible for guarding them.
Our current priority is to defeat the enemy forces on Little Sister Island. Before defeating the enemy, ensuring stability in the rear is the top priority.
If I let them out now, who can guarantee they won't cause me some messy trouble?"
Although this was Krober's first time leading troops into battle personally, his rational and calm character and the wisdom accumulated from experiencing the information explosion era in his previous life were enough to allow him to deal with these difficult problems with ease.
"One more thing, Master Krober. We investigated the pirates' warehouses where they store supplies and found the following supplies in total:"
"One hundred and twenty-three thousand six hundred gold coins, seventy thousand silver coins, and a number of copper coins."
"Several weapons and armor, seventeen wood-attribute potions, a low-level breathing technique called 'Brilliant Spirit,' a ruby magic necklace that increases strength, an emerald ring that increases vitality, and a sapphire ring that increases agility. The size of the gemstones matches the market standard. They are all qualified products, not substandard."
Due to problems with gem processing technology, defective magic gem equipment often appears on the market. The small ruby that Klar had seen before was such a defective product.
The price of defective products is much cheaper than that of qualified products, but the function they can play is also much worse than that of qualified products.
Since the gemstones produced in different places have different specialties, the prices will also fluctuate. For example, the price of forest emerald will be lower than that of ruby and sapphire. It’s not that the quality is poor, but the forest emerald dragon is in the Emerald Kingdom and is not that rare, so the price is naturally cheap.
Rubies and sapphires are trade goods imported from other kingdoms, so their prices are naturally inflated.
Krober could never have imagined that the Black Feather Grass family was so rich!
However, when he thought about it again, he felt relieved because these fortunes had been accumulated for decades.
"No wonder there are only a little over 130,000 gold coins. It turns out they were all used to buy gems and equipment."
Kroeber thought to himself.
After all, 130,000 gold coins is really too little for a family that controls the main maritime trade and transportation routes.
"Open up all the equipment in the warehouse!
Next we have a hard battle, and let the soldiers go in and pick up better weapons and armor at will.
I don't want to lose any of my brothers who fought alongside me after this battle!"
Before this, Foster ordered the pirates to store their own equipment and the equipment worn by their colleagues who surrendered or died in battle in the warehouse.
After all, a set of equipment is worth a lot of money. My young master has just embarked on the road of "entrepreneurship" and has a shallow foundation, and this batch of equipment can just make up for this shortcoming.
Krober gently stroked the ruby ring in his hand that was shining brightly. After thinking for a while, he handed it to Knight Foster who was standing beside him.
"Grandpa Foster, please accept it. You possess wind-attributed Dou Qi, and while you are more than agile, you lack strength.
The strength-enhancing properties of this ruby ring can fill many of your shortcomings."
Kroeber said with a smile.
Foster was about to decline politely, but Kroeber put the ring on his hand without saying anything.
Then, Krober put on a sapphire ring on the same finger.
"Look, Grandpa Foster, these two rings look better when worn separately by two people. If they are worn by one person, he will look like a nouveau riche."
Kroeber smiled happily.
Foster sighed.
He wasn't moved by the ruby ring, he was simply moved by the pure affection he had for Krober, the kind of affection that treated him like a family member...
This feeling... this feeling of family, besides Kroeber, Foster has only felt it in one person in his life.
