Chapter 5 Oriole
The sudden shouts made all the pirates in the tavern stop. The two pirates who were still tense before looked at each other, and then they turned their heads and ran out as if they had made an appointment.
At this time, William no longer thought about the issue of supply. How can alcohol be of life?
The streets were full of pirates. Those who had experience and had quick reactions had already run towards the dock. The rookie who was slower still had a confused face.
The second deputy Palmond had long disappeared from his previous power and was in a panic, but William was not in the mood to laugh at the other party, and he was running.
The Denton Pirates where William is located was not an opponent of the navy chasing them. Now, the ships are damaged and lack supplies, and they are blocked at the dock during the plunder. The pirates are completely unintentional and powerless to fight. The pirates on the ship can basically understand this.
Their captain Denton had been active near the dock outside the town with his confidants, probably just because he was thinking of not being able to get away. If other pirates didn't have time to get on the boat, they would definitely be left behind.
Fortunately, William was prepared. The place where he and Akin, Alamis, Wallon and others were not far from the dock. After running not far, he saw the dock and the pirate ship that began to sail.
"Mom!" Bamond and Aramis cursed at the same time.
Fortunately, it takes time and manpower to start this kind of multi-mast sailboat. Now there are not many people on the ship. When William and Bamond both boarded the ship, this dilapidated sailboat, which looked like a legendary ghost ship, slowly started to move.
Some pirates who had just arrived stood on the shore and begged to stop the boat. A few of them simply jumped into the sea and swam desperately towards the pirate boat, but they obviously could not catch up.
Under the command of the navigator, William was working on the cables and controlling the sails with other pirates. Captain Denton was also on the deck, but turned a deaf ear to the shouts and beggings that came with the sound of the wind. The pirates who were thrown away were basically impossible to escape the pursuit of the navy. On this small island where they were unfamiliar, they were just turtles in a jar.
When the pirate ship left the dock, the navy's warship was already visible to the naked eye, which made all the pirates on the ship feel aroused. It was impossible for them to drive this rags to escape the pursuit of the navy's warship. Fortunately, for some reason, the navy did not chase them, but only blasted out several shells with symbolic significance than actual significance from afar, and then headed to the island.
...
In the town, the remaining pirates have been wiped out, but the survivors in the town did not feel very grateful. They were surrounded by the dock with discomfort, watching the navy soldiers wearing seamen's uniforms and blue-collar scarves move various supplies and property to the dock one by one.
The commanders of the navy were not tall, but they were very stylish. They were wearing white windbreakers, carrying golden tassels on their shoulders, and were sucking cigars with a faint expression. They sat on a sofa that was moved from somewhere, watching the navy soldiers constantly moving in and out of the town and carrying goods and supplies, and spitting out smoke rings with satisfaction.
These things were snatched by pirates from other places before, but more of them were just snatched from here, but obviously, the small commander did not mean to return them to the local residents.
The townspeople had just experienced looting and were still in shock. They only dared not speak out. After a long time, the surviving mayor mustered up the courage to walk towards the small commander under the crowd.
The mayor was gray and skinny, but tall, worried about angering the small commander. Therefore, when he came to the other party, he automatically bent down and hooked his back, as if he was a pot, which seemed very funny. He said cautiously: "Sir, everyone in the town is grateful for helping us drive away the pirates, so he would like to invite you and your soldiers to go to the tavern in the town to express his gratitude."
The small commander looked at the mayor and raised his eyebrows without comment. "This suggestion is good. We will go when we finish everything here."
The mayor rubbed his hands gently and tentatively said, "The sirs have just defeated the pirates, so it's time to take a break first. You don't have to worry about these trivial matters about stating wealth. Just let the residents take their own things back."
As soon as the mayor finished speaking, the scene seemed to become cold unconsciously. Not far away, an officer holding a notebook to keep his account heard, and he couldn't help but stop writing and look here. Several soldiers who were close to him also looked over after hearing this, all of whom looked a little unkind, which made his waist even more powerful.
The small commander waved his hand and asked the officer to continue to keep the books. He said to the mayor with a smile: "These things are all stolen goods of the pirates. We will remember them and they will return to the public."
"But these things are basically what pirates just snatched from the town..."
The small commander interrupted the mayor without hesitation, and pointed his shoulder hard with his finger: "Can you say that these are all things in your town?"
The mayor subconsciously shook his head.
"Since that's the case, of course we have to take away these stolen goods first. We can't believe your one-sided words. When we spend time investigating and identifying them well, we will naturally send back the things in your town."
The town mayor opened his mouth, of course he did not dare to say that the small commander was talking nonsense, saying that he didn't believe that the other party would send the things back.
The small commander was too lazy to talk to the mayor anymore, so he directly ordered two powerful soldiers from Kong Wu to raise the mayor and take it away.
An officer came over at this time and whispered to the small officer: "...I searched all of them, and there were no pirates carrying a chart on them, and it seemed that there were no navigators inside."
The small officer smiled: "I guessed it, it seems that those pirates are not all fools. They should have discovered that we are driving them away."
"Will you still keep them and continue to rob the villages and towns?"
"Let's talk about it until the next village," the small commander looked at the property like the hills gradually piled up on the dock, and said proudly: "Let these people help us loot more spoils, and use more waste before they die."
Just as William thought, in the lack of orderly environment, who said that pirates could only burn, kill, plunder, and who said that the navy would definitely protect the country and the people?
...
On the ship of the Denton Pirates, the pirates finally stayed away from the navy and the ruined town. William, who had been working on the deck, finally had a chance to rest.
It was considered that the enemy had a narrow road. When walking in the cabin aisle, William happened to see the second mate Palmond. The other party obviously saw him. When passing by William, he hit him hard with his shoulder, with a provocative look on his face.
But both Bamond and William knew that it was not the time to start a conflict, and there was a real conflict. Not to mention the navy chasing behind, even the captain would not spare them easily. Therefore, Bamond did not take any further action. Seeing that William had no reaction, he smiled proudly, as if he had won a big victory, and then left on his own.
