Chapter 79 First-class thief(1/2)
About an hour after the Venetta fleet evacuated from the bay, on the road connecting the Red Sulphur Port and the Gulf entrance artillery, a team of Tanirians escorting the captives were heading towards the Red Sulphur Port.
Less than twenty people pulled into a column on the rammed earth road, half of which were Tanirian sailors responsible for escorting, and the rest were Venetta people tied with their hands tied into a string.
A thin monkey-like pirate walked in front of the team with a spear in a proud manner, carrying a spear, and a head wearing a Venetta military cap was carried on the tip of the spear. Because the blood had been dried, the face under the hat looked as sickly as pale.
There was even a big cart in the team. The poor mule pulling the cart was so tired that she spitted white foam.
Several Vinetta corpses were covered with straw mats, revealing only the lower body, and were thrown onto the cart.
There were many heads piled up beside the corpse. The cart "crunched, crunched" all the way, and the blood behind the car dripped all the way.
There were almost no civilians on the road. A few pedestrians saw this group of people from afar and hurriedly hid in the woods beside the road.
Achievement Island has already issued martial law orders, and the civilians on the island know that the Venetta people are coming to attack Achievement Island. However, compared with the Venetta people, the civilians on the island are more afraid of these pirates who gathered on Achievement Island from all directions.
At this moment, the defenders on Chiyi Island not only included militia guards, private soldiers from the plantation, but also the pirates who were recruited by the Federation for a large sum of money.
These pirates claimed to be the defenders of Akihiro Island, and they charged some extra fees to them. They did not dare to mess with large plantations, so pirates specifically harmed the civilians.
However, in two or three days, the militia had clashed with the pirates several times, and both sides had casualties. If the Venetta people did not come again, Akagi Island would probably have internal conflicts.
Now, the defenders have won a big victory, and the pirates are even more arrogant.
These pirates escorting the captives were too lazy to pay attention to the peepers in the woods, and just walked along the avenue towards Chisulphur Port.
The leading thin monkey pirate was in high spirits, and as he walked, he suddenly sang the pirate's horn:
"Eat meat and eat rib tips~
Getting married is going to marry a big thief~
Sleeping until midnight, the steel knife sounded ~
The girl wears Brother Yana and beheads her head!
…”
The howling sound of ghosts and wolves emerged from the air's mouth, and the Tanirian accent was still used. Except for the pirate who sang, no one else could understand what he was singing.
Several farmers hiding in the woods looked at each other, wondering whether it was the pirates with their heads on the tips of the spears that were more terrifying or the donkey's ordinary singing voice.
Another group of pirates who went to support the artillery tower came towards us. The two teams of pirates passed by. The pirates who had not gained the battle and had no chance to capture prisoners looked at the prisoners escorted by friendly forces and the heads in the car with gaze.
"Brother, I have gained a lot!" The perverted ones shouted to the pirates who were escorting the captives with half envy and half jealousy: "You guys are really sending them off, so let me share my head."
"There are heads in front, cut them off by yourself!" The pirate of thin monkey laughed: "Stop fucking me."
"Brother, I think you guys probably have old farmers on the island in their heads?"
"[The vulgar words commonly used in sailors]!"
The two teams passed by and quickly left each other behind. The dirt road was winding around, and the figures of each other were blocked by the woods.
"These donkey shit guys must have cut down a few farmers in the farm next to him." The pirate who had just shouted to the shabby monkey and said jealously to the people around him: "How many people have just run ashore in total? I see that there are at least fifteen heads in the car!"
The pirate next to him nodded deeply in agreement.
"Hey! Why don't I have this luck?" The pirate who called out said complainingly: "We have to figure out where to get two heads."
Time went back not long ago.
Accompanied by two explosions, a group of new forces rushed out of the dense forest, and the Tanirians who were attacked from the front and back suddenly collapsed.
Several clever ghosts on the edge of the battlefield ran away, which immediately triggered a chain reaction. The Tanirians, who had the advantage in numbers, all began to flee in all directions.
The Venetta officer holding a bow and arrow ignored any Tanirians who were trying to fight back and shot only those pirates who wanted to escape.
"Chasing! Don't let them run away! Let them run away and we will all die." Andrey urged the exhausted Vinetas.
The Vineta people were chased all the way to this short cliff and were fighting with all their energy. The other party turned around and ran away. They really had no extra strength to chase after them.
However, the reinforcements rushed out desperately intercepted the pirates who wanted to escape, and Officer Venetta, holding a bow and arrow, even knocked down several people.
But two pirates still got into the dense forest and their figures quickly disappeared into the leaves and shrubs.
"It's over!" Andre, in the middle of the battlefield, thought desperately: "The second round of pursuers will kill us all."
But the officer who led reinforcements into the battlefield, covered in blood and mud, followed the pirate's footprints and drilled into the broad-leaved rainforest.
I don’t know how long it took, but it seems very short and long.
The sound of footsteps and the sound of scrambling branches came from the woods again, and the officer walked out with his heads in his arms.
The clothes and shoes worn by the two escaped pirates were thrown to the ground together with their heads.
Andre had countless words in his heart, but he swallowed them all when he reached his mouth. Thousands of words turned into a bear hug and a joke: "Wentes, do you... do you have any special habits about cutting your head?"
Winters looked at the Venetta soldiers behind Andre, and sighed inwardly that his reputation was completely broken.
"If the pirates want to exchange our heads for money, they have to use our clothes and shoes as certificates at the same time." In order to prove that his mental state is normal, Winters explained with a wry smile: "Leave a headless corpse, and they can't tell who is dead."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The Venetta soldiers relaxed a little when they heard this. Even the Venetta people were terrified when they saw it. The helpless explanation in front of them turned back to the gentle Warrant Officer Montagne who was usually gentle.
"How did you find us?"
"You're so moving, it's hard not to find out." Bud walked over and said with a smile.
Andre also excitedly gave Bud a bear hug.
The others were cleaning up the battlefield, and the three warrant officers of the 100-man team quickly held a meeting.
Winters briefly said that he gathered the remaining troops all the way, met Bud, and captured them, and interrogated the two enemies.
"These Tanirians are pirates. The Federation has issued a reward for two gold coins in the first place, and the living doubled the officers." Winters said with a serious expression: "All long-legged pirates on Chiyi Island come to pull the net to search for us who are not drowned."
"You are the one with the highest command sequence now. You will listen to you what you say." Finally, there was no need to think about it anymore, and Andre was very happy.
Lieutenant Colonel was not dead, and the pirate's gun was not loaded with a large amount of medicine. He punched a hole the size of a fingertip in the abdomen. The blood stopped by itself, but the lead bullet was still inside. I don't know what was going on in the abdomen, but the Lieutenant Colonel was already in shock.
Winters and the other two were at a loss about this, and it was the most troublesome to be half-dead. Bud had arranged for soldiers to be used as temporary stretchers.
"There is no choice but to run. The key is where to run?" Winters found a stone and sat on it: "And we were with the wounded soldiers, so we couldn't run fast at all."
"What should I do?" Andre was silent for a while, and whispered with a difficult face: "Or...
He made a gesture.
"No." Bard held Andre quietly: "The soldiers were watching, and the morale of the wounded soldiers was dispersed. Either bring the wounded soldiers or just don't bring any of them."
Five people died in that encounter just now and four were seriously injured - it was considered serious injury if someone needed to carry the action.
Winters knew very well that this young man's remnant not only had the wounded marching speed, but also had many people and large targets. If only three warrant officers were in action, the chance of escaping would be much higher.
Almost all the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield were injured, but no one dared to show any injuries, for fear of being left behind. A seriously injured person was crying quietly, while the others were silent, and everyone knew how things would develop.
All the wounded will be left behind. If you are lucky, someone will help you to give me some pleasure. Those who are exhausted will fall behind one by one. In the end, only a few people will be left to escape to the west coast of the island. They also need to pray that they can find a boat to carry themselves to the sea.
"Are my soldiers destined to have all these?" Winters gritted his teeth and thought: "Even if there is something like fate, I will never surrender!"
All the Venetians present were summoned to Warrant Officer Montagne, including soldiers from the 100-man team and sailors from the navy.
"I, Warrant Officer Bard, Warrant Officer Chellini decided not to give up any wounded soldiers." Winters made the point straight.
In the eyes of the soldiers, Winters saw gratitude, anxiety and confusion.
"Looking at this map, we are roughly here now. If we escape to the southwest, we may escape to the coast." The map of Chiyi Island sent before the war was carefully wrapped in oil cloth and put in his arms. Fortunately, it was not wet by the sea water: "But I decided that we would not escape to the southwest. We would go to the northeast and head towards Chiyi Port. It's OK, it's not about escaping, it's about embarking!"
"It will be safe to head towards Chisulphur Port, even safer than running to the southwest. The pirates are arranged like a net, and the net will tighter and tighter, but the net is actually weaker." In the shocked gaze of the soldiers, Winters repeated the teachings of Lieutenant Colonel Field to them: "Third-rate thieves will wear night clothes, while first-rate thieves will wear dresses. Follow me, I will take you out of this net in dresses!"
Time returns to the present.
Winters, who had completely let himself go, took the remaining soldiers of Veneta to change into the pirate's clothes, broke into the nearby farm for a meal, and snatched a big cart.
The Venettas who could not speak Tanirian dialect, including three officers, became "captives".
His original plan was that everyone would change to pirates' clothes, but the three officers pretended to be pirates and scared the farmers. A discerning person would get into trouble at a glance, so he had to have half of the pirates and half of the prisoners.
The team of "escort prisoners" swaggered on the main road of Akihiro Island, attracting attention all the way but without any suspicion.
The bastion outside Chisulphur Port is already in sight, but the Tanirians we met are getting fewer and fewer. Obviously, most of them are busy capturing prisoners.
"Who are you?" A big cart and a team of riders met in the suburbs of Chiyi Port, blocking the road tightly.
It is impossible for a big car to get off the road, and the driver even rushed forward unscrupulously, so the riders had to make way down the road.
"Haileding!" The thin pirate with a sharp teeth and arrogant attitude said a large number.
"Oh... Red Beard's subordinate, no wonder." The leading rider said thoughtfully. He looked at the things installed on the car and asked with a smile: "Why are there any zeros in your car?"
"There are the eyes under your forehead? Are you blind? Then he is alive!" The thin pirate with a sneer and asked, "The dead are worth two, and the living are worth three. Do you understand, you hammer?"
The pirate who was holding his head with a spear and was thin, but he was unforgivable. Tanirian dialect was clutched with the vulgar slang of sailors. Those who listened to it knew that he was definitely not saying good things, and it was almost difficult to understand what he was saying.
"Oh... that's it." The leading rider was calm.
Winters, who had been walking with his head down, was curious about who the rider was, so he quietly looked up at the other person, but unfortunately he happened to look at the other person's eyes.
Winters knew something was wrong and quickly lowered his head.
However, it was too late, and the leading rider immediately ordered his men: "Take the Venetta in the middle out, I want to examine him!"
"Damn! What do you want to do?!" The pirate of Huoya stopped the prisoner and shouted sternly.
"I need to interrogate this prisoner." The leading rider didn't want to get entangled with the humble pirate anymore, and said impatiently: "Don't you just want to exchange him for money? I'll just give you money?"
