MTL - Pirates: Silver King-Chapter 13 Isle of War
Chapter 13 The Island of War
At the moment of landing on the island, the expressions of Roger Reilly and other people with strong knowledge changed slightly and became a little dignified.
"Captain, co-captain, is there any problem with this island?" Someone who noticed the expressions of several people asked aloud.
"It's nothing, it's just that the atmosphere on this island is relatively depressing. In short, you should be careful during the activity."
"Don't worry, Captain, we'll take care."
Leaving a few strong people to watch the boat, and the others went to the island to move freely.
There was a town not far from their landing on the island, and a group of people walked in one after another. When they first saw the town, Bai Chuan's expression changed.
Because the town is so dilapidated, the houses are rudimentary, even the rain can't stop, the people's clothes are also very shabby, there are patches all over their clothes, and these people are also skinny.
When the group of them entered, some of them were timid, and some of them showed a crazy look.
"Captain, it doesn't look good for us to stay here."
Bucky walked to Roger's side and said cautiously, because these people looked terrible in his eyes.
Bai Chuan was also on guard at all times. At this moment, a man suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed him like a madman.
Looking at the man rushing towards him, Bai Chuan's expression changed slightly, he reached out and grabbed the opponent's wrist, and then fell over the shoulder, causing the opponent to lose consciousness.
"Bai Chuan, you hit too hard." Roger criticized Bai Chuan.
"Sorry, Captain, I'll pay attention next time."
Bai Chuan was a little puzzled. There were so many people here, why did they choose him.
The behavior of that person just now seemed to be blowing the horn of the peak. More and more people with murder weapons approached them, and most of them looked at Bai Chuan.
"Hey, look at what I'm doing, I don't seem to have done anything to hurt you, right?"
Being looked at by so many people with vicious eyes, people like Bai Chuan were also a little panicked.
"It's not you that they hate, it should be the nobles of their country."
"Aristocrat? What does it have to do with me, I'm not their nobleman."
"That may be because your temperament is more similar." Although Bai Chuan has become one with the Roger Pirates, this can't hide his own temperament.
"Is that temperament to blame for me?"
"Just stun them, don't shoot too hard."
"Understood, Captain."
Bai Chuan walked out of the team, his eyes opened slightly, and a slight tyrannical arrogance burst out. At this moment, the people around him instantly squinted and all fainted.
This is still the result of Bai Chuan's slight control, otherwise these people may be shocked to death by his overlord.
These people's spirits are very fragile, and they are obviously people who have suffered from mental oppression for a long time. Such people can't bear the domineering with higher intensity.
"Let's go, there's no useful information to get in such a town, let's move on."
In this way, the group walked forward for nearly two days, and finally saw a slightly more prosperous city.
"Our people are allocated in, try not to cause a stir."
"Yes, Captain."
After a while, Shirakawa and Bucky Shanks formed a team of three and walked into the city.
The face of the city makes Bai Chuan's eyes bright, or such a city can be called a city.
Although the people here don’t wear fancy clothes, they are simple and neat, and the buildings and facilities that should be there are also here.
"Let's go, let's go to the pub." Shanks suggested to the two of them, and the pub is naturally the best place for alcoholics.
"Okay." Bucky immediately agreed.
"Let's go then."
On a very remote street, the three of them finally found a tavern, but here they actually met an acquaintance, that is the deputy captain Rayleigh.
"Deputy captain, why are you here, aren't you with the captain?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm here for a drink, Roger, I don't know where I'm going."
Shanks and Bucky each asked for a beer, while Shirakawa asked for a glass of wine.
During the drinking period, several of them also learned some information about the island from the boss.
The island is very large, but there are three countries on it, and these three countries have seen frequent wars, which also led to each country’s labor and wealth.
And the people who suffer the most in the war are naturally the civilians, who not only have to hand over their finances, but also sometimes have to be forced to go to the battlefield.
This also led to the common people's deep resentment towards the nobles, because these wars were almost all caused by the nobles, and their finances were also sent by the nobles to check.
"So, that officer, did you already know the situation on this island?"
"I know a little bit. When we first arrived on the island, we sensed that there was a war in a certain place here, but we didn't understand it in detail, so I asked you to be careful."
"But it seems that as long as we don't go to the center of the battlefield, there will be almost nothing."
"By the way, Vice-Captain, how long are we going to be on this island."
"Who knows, when the recording pointer records the magnetic force of the next island, you can go. It may take a month, it may take a year."
"One year? How long?" Bai Chuan asked in surprise.
"Otherwise you think, of course, if you have a permanent pointer to record an island, you can tell the captain, if the captain allows us, we can leave at any time."
"Then forget it, I don't have that kind of thing."
"Then we can only wait here." Rayleigh said casually.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, several of them were a little drunk and planned to find a hotel to rest.
Just when they were just going out, a figure suddenly bumped into Bai Chuan's arms. The collision immediately knocked Bai Chuan into a daze, and the figure was still lying in his arms and couldn't get up.
"Miss, we haven't met yet, it's a little bad for you to do this."
Shirakawa looked down and saw that it was a woman.
"Shut up." A low, somewhat muffled voice sounded from her arms.
"Bai Chuan, your boy's beauty is not shallow."
Rayleigh, who was in front of Bai Chuan, said sourly, with a bit of jealousy and envy in his tone. Just now he saw very clearly that the girl was coming for him, but when Bai Chuan came forward, the girl changed direction. , threw himself into Bai Chuan's arms.
"Sure enough, you can do whatever you want when you look handsome."
"Deputy captain, it's not my fault, she voluntarily rushed up."
"Shut up." The voice rang out again.
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up."
After a short period of stalemate, a group of people hurriedly ran past them. It seemed that they were soldiers of this country, as if they were looking for someone.
