Chapter 83 Captain Jack Sparrow
Looking at the Earl with a livid face, everyone present lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Until now, not only Bruno, but everyone present has never taken the threat from the ocean seriously. This is because the Idar Territory has never been robbed by pirates!
Therefore, the sudden pirate attack caught almost everyone off guard.
"Apart from the casualties of the soldiers, what about the other losses?" Bruno looked at Old Ford, the current manager of the Cape Salt Field and the former butler of Idar County.
"Thanks to the heroic resistance of the soldiers and the fact that the dried sea salt was just transported away a few days ago, in fact, apart from the casualties, the Cape Salt Works did not suffer much damage," replied old Ford.
"There were about eighty to ninety pirates who came ashore to rob the place this time, with a total of three pirate ships. However... the pirates probably didn't expect that we had a garrison of nearly fifty people at the Cape Salt Field. Therefore, our soldiers even captured several pirates and a pirate ship alive!"
"Pirate ship?" Bruno was surprised.
Bruno had only heard that the Cape Salt Works had been attacked, but he didn't know the specific situation until old Ford made a formal report.
but……
If you say that they directly robbed a pirate ship, that's a bit far-fetched...
On one side are landlubbers who don't even have a ship, and on the other side are pirates who have a ship and are very mobile. How can they capture the pirate ship? "In reply to your question, sir, actually... it should be because the pirates didn't expect that we would station troops at the Cape Salt Field, so they were a little careless and didn't go too far from the shore when they dropped anchor."
"The battle was far more intense than they had expected. So by the time they felt the situation was bad and planned to retreat, the tide had already receded. One of the pirate ships ran aground because it was too close to the shore..."
Hearing this, Bruno felt speechless.
This pirate is a bit too low. He can move freely in the ocean only because he owns a ship, but he doesn't pay enough attention to the people who provide him with food.
"My Lord Earl, I heard that a flood occurred in the north of the Kingdom of Basel a few days ago. Perhaps it was because the Kingdom of Basel suffered too much damage that they had nothing left to rob, which forced these pirates to come to Idar to rob?"
Bruno nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "You just said...how many prisoners were captured by the soldiers of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau?"
"Yes, they have been taken to the dungeon under the castle. One of them is the captain of the stranded pirate ship."
"Oh? Interrogate those pirates separately. Be sure to find out where they come from, where they settled, and what their purpose is in coming to Idar..." Bruno ordered: "As for the unfortunate pirate captain... This lord wants to meet him in person..."
In his previous life, Bruno watched a lot of movies about pirates, and he even watched the Pirates of the Caribbean series three times!
Therefore, he was indeed very curious about the living pirates.
Of course, the premise is that the pirate has been tied up and locked in a cell, and will not pose a threat to his personal safety...
The dungeon of the lord's castle is located on the second underground floor. There are not many residents on weekdays, so it seems rather deserted.
Since the cell is located underground, the surfaces of the walls and stone steps are stained with moisture. Coupled with the dim light in the dungeon, it gives people a cold and gloomy feeling.
"My Lord Count..." As soon as he entered the dungeon, Bruno heard someone faintly calling his name.
This startled Bruno.
Liszt, who was walking behind Bruno, quickly explained: "Master, the doctor you had captured earlier is still imprisoned here..."
"Doctor?" Bruno asked doubtfully.
"He was the former military doctor of the Idar regular army..."
Bruno was immediately happy when he heard what Liszt said.
He finally remembered that Bruno felt that the method used by Idar's military doctor to treat the soldiers was too outrageous, so he ordered his men to arrest the military doctor and put him in the dungeon.
"Hello, Mr. Doctor!" Bruno came to the cell with a smile.
"My Lord Earl, I have reflected deeply on my mistakes in the cell and have completely repented. In the future, I will work hard to improve my medical skills and not bring shame to you, my Lord Earl!" The military doctor seemed to have grasped the last straw and quickly expressed his feelings.
"Oh? Then tell me first, why did I ask someone to capture you at that time?" Bruno asked.
"It should be that when I was treating the soldiers' injuries, my bloodletting technique was a little rusty, and you love your soldiers like your own sons, so you arrested me... Don't worry, Lord Earl, I have been practicing medicine hard in this cell these days, and my bloodletting technique has improved greatly..."
"Keep him locked up! Don't let him out to harm others!" Bruno turned away with a dark face, leaving the military doctor crying helplessly in the cell...
"My Lord Earl! My Lord Earl, please don't leave. I am really good at bleeding..."
Most of the captured pirates were imprisoned in the cells at the end of the dungeon, guarded day and night by Idar's soldiers.
Now, except for the captured pirate captain, all other pirates have been taken away by Idar's soldiers for interrogation.
Bruno looked up and down at the pirate captain in front of him who was tied up and fixed to a chair.
The pirate in front of him was very different from the image of a pirate in his mind.
This was probably a middle-aged man, with messy dark brown hair and some coagulated blood intertwined, looking particularly miserable.
He was not big, had no rough beard on his face, and no strong muscles in his arms. Instead, he looked a little thin.
His skinny face looked as if he was malnourished. His eyes were a little small, but his eyebrows were very heavy. There was a long scar on his face, so his appearance looked a little inconsistent.
As if he noticed that Bruno was looking at him, the pirate opened his eyes which had been closed.
There was no cruelty in his eyes as Bruno had expected. Instead, there was some despair and pleading. He looked like an ordinary person who was caught and thrown into a cell, and he looked a little uneasy.
"I am Bruno Stuart, Count of Idar, a noble of the Norman Empire and the owner of this land! Now, Mr. Pirate, before I get angry, please tell me, who are you? Why are you here? What is your purpose?" Bruno said in a deep voice.
"My name is Jack, and I'm from the Kingdom of Basel..."
After a moment's silence, the captured pirate captain finally spoke.
