Heavenly Dao Formula

"Restrain me a bit from now on. If anyone dares to mess around, I will hang you on the mast!" The leader of the imperial inspection team reminded loudly.

There was a lazy reply from the crowd.

George sneered to himself. The other party said that, because he was afraid that he also hoped that the pirates would make some troubles, so that they could fish in troubled waters. After all, the lord and the officials above take the big shots. If the people who do things don't take advantage of this opportunity to get more, when will they have to wait? In the end, one or two sailors who don't have long eyes are hanged, and everyone is happy.

As the captain, he did it himself when hunting down the elves, so naturally it wasn't because of some bullshit sense of responsibility.

Jinxia City did close all the gates except the east gate, and there were no guards on the city wall. The whole city seemed to open its chest to them.

"The assembly time is before sunset, and each team counts the number of captives by itself - only those with sharp ears are counted alive! There is nothing else to say, everyone takes action!"

The pirates suddenly dispersed.

"There are elves here!"

"I saw it over there too!"

"Guys of the Skull, come with me!"

Naturally, George gathered a group of Black Crow crew members and ran towards the south of the city. As early as when he was at sea, he noticed that the houses in the south of the city were obviously more grand than other places, and they obviously belonged to the rich people's living area. Of course, generally rich people have their own defense force, and he didn't want to find these people's bad luck, but as long as they go around their houses, the benefits are much greater than robbing ten poor people.

"Boss, there are people following us!" the first officer reminded.

"Damn it, it's from the Blood Shark."

Apparently he was not the only one who had noticed the distribution of buildings in Jinxia City, and the fellows of the two ships also had the same idea as them.

"Forget it, just ignore them." George spat, "Anyway, there are many houses over there, enough for us to share."

"But... isn't this city a bit strange?" the first officer said with a smack.

"Where is the strangeness?"

"The government didn't send anyone to watch us, and...not a single person can be seen on the street." He looked around, "Even if they let the locals go back to their houses, it is impossible for beggars and homeless people Is it all gone?"

"Whatever it is, we're not going to a slum." George said indifferently, "Wouldn't it be better if no one was watching people? That way no one else would know what we did in the house."

"You're right. I just think... such a big city seems a bit too quiet."

"Boss, look there! It's an elf!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

Two streets away, a group of pointed ears hurriedly crossed the streets, as if they wanted to escape from the direction of the south gate.

This is exactly where they are going.

"Look, it's not quiet now." George waved his hand, "Guys, chase me!"

A group of people followed closely behind with knives, guns and sticks. As soon as they rushed through the corner, they saw a row of sandbags separating the road. A dozen or so elves pointed their muskets at them relying on the sandbags.

Wait, why do the fleeing elves have imperial weapons?

George bent down almost subconsciously and stepped back.

Then he heard a whoosh, and a muffled puff.

The sailors rushing forward fell down in an instant.

Shouts and screams suddenly broke the silence of the city!

Fa- what happened?

George crouched in the corner with a shocked expression on his face. There was no sign at all when those pointed ears fired the gun - he could neither see the smoke nor hear the gunfire. If his men were not lying on the ground soaked in blood and crying, he would have thought It was the cooperation of the two parties that staged a drama.

This movement alone was not enough to wake up the pirates who followed, they even regarded the screamer as the elf side.

But the people on the Blood Shark did not receive extra favor from the heavens, and the strange situation just now was repeated again—the living people ran out of the streets and alleys, and there were more dead and injured on the ground.

"Damn it, the weapons in the hands of those pointed ears are really powerful! Brothers, let's kill from the roof!"

The head-on blow aroused the bloodiness of the Blood Shark crew. They held the scimitar in their mouths and climbed up to the roof one by one. However, there were also people guarding above the house, obviously there were only two or three people, but the bullets fired were as dense as rain, and it was so overwhelming that everyone couldn't move forward.

Those experienced pirates are used to choosing concealment or charging based on the sound of gunfire or filling the gap, but their experience has become a deadly noose here. Even though he saw that the other party had finished firing the ammunition and was lowering his head to reload, he didn't take a few steps before the other party picked up the gun again.

Some of the pirates also carried muskets, or even double-barreled hand guns, but the opponent was covered by sandbags and had intensive firepower. The suppression capabilities of the two sides were not at the same level at all.

A great feeling of unhappiness emerged in George's heart.

No matter how you look at these elves, they seem to have been prepared!

"Go and have a look at the street behind!" He kicked open the door of the nearest resident while instructing the first mate. The room was actually empty, not even a single person could be seen.

George broke into several houses facing the street one after another, with the same result.

The residents here have already evacuated from this place!

"Boss, no, it's not good!" The first mate hurriedly reported, "Another street leading to the south has also been blocked!"

really!

His heart sank suddenly—the walls of Jinxia City seemed undefended, but in fact a long blockade line had been drawn up on the edge of the city, and it was impossible for him to do this with sharp ears alone.

The people in this city are with them!

"Let's... go back the same way!" George gritted his teeth.

"go back?"

"That's right, let the crew with the guns go to the rear to prevent the elves from chasing us," he said decisively. Money is important, but life-saving always comes first. "By the way, gather the people from the Blood Shark as well, every gun you have will get an extra—"

Speaking of this, George suddenly froze.

He saw a huge black biped appear from the other side of the street.

...

"Why hasn't even a single elf been caught up to now?"

Tural observed Jinxia's wide-open east gate with a lookout glass, and said in a slightly unhappy tone.

The small boat has gone back and forth three times, and the team that sent it to land was at least a thousand people, but the booty that was escorted to the beach has never been seen.

He allows these people to be greedy for money, but that is also based on the completion of the task.

"With the inspector team watching, there shouldn't be any problems," the captain guessed. "Maybe they want to bring more people back at once?"

"Those guys better not forget that they are serving the empire." Tural couldn't help unbuttoning his collar, "The gallows by the harbor has been empty for a long time."

He suddenly felt a sense of dryness.

At some point, the cold wind blowing from the sea subsided, and all the wind flags standing on both sides of the poop fell down. In the absence of wind, even in winter, you won't feel too cold, and this thick suit seems a bit redundant.
