The first mate rushed into the camp with his men and knocked down all the objects that could be seen and suspected of hiding gold. However, except for some sand and stones, not even a little gold dust was found.

At this time, the migrant workers imprisoned in the mine were walking out with each other's support, and a joy of rebirth filled their bodies and minds.

They expressed their heartfelt thanks to the saviors, but the mate didn't care about these worthless thanks: "Where's your gold?"

A man supported by Stoke shook his head: "All of them were carried away by the lords, even the unsifted gold sand was not spared."

"Damn it, it's for nothing!" The first mate spat, "Tell the captain about the situation here, it seems that the only way to earn it back is to knock down the port, otherwise it will be a big loss."

Lay down the port?The man supported by Stoke asked Stoke in a low voice: "Son, where did you find this person?"

"I don't know, they have a boat, and they are very enthusiastic." Stock said, "They gave me food and clothing, and let me live with them on the boat. Mr. Warn, they are good people."

The man shook his head, his face was a little disturbed, because he had probably guessed who they were after seeing what these people did.

The somewhat angry first officer looked at the group of unlucky miners and asked in a rough voice, "Do you still have any gold in the mine?"

Those miners looked at each other, and finally Stoke's father said tremblingly: "Yes, but they are all ores. The pure gold has been taken away, and the rest must be crushed and ground, and finally calcined to produce gold. We don’t have such tools here.”

"Damn, what a waste of time." The first mate thought of something, and asked Stoke and the others, "You seem to know a lot?"

Stoke's father sighed: "It's because of this that the lord has been trapped in him for so long."

"That's enough, I'll trouble you to work for our captain in the future!" The first mate drew out his knife and ordered in the terrified eyes of these miners, "Drive them in and continue mining, and hack them to death if they dare to be lazy!"

Now it's all right, the wolf just left, and the tiger pounced on him. Stoke's eyes were full of tears. He couldn't believe that the person who had been warm and friendly to him before had become vicious in a blink of an eye.

But the facts speak louder than words. In desperation, they were forced to pick up tools and continue mining inside.

Seeing that they all went back to work, the first officer continued to order: "Leave a few people to watch them work, and others will go back with me to report to the captain...uh..."

Almost subconsciously, he tilted his head, and a feathered arrow flew past the skin of his neck, with the buzzing sound still ringing in his ears.

The intuition developed over the years of life-and-death fighting saved his life. The moment the feather arrow flew towards him, he felt his back like a thorn in his back. If there was no such action, the feather arrow might have pierced into it.

When the first officer was attacked, the pirates reacted immediately and drew their weapons, but when he turned around, dozens of feathered arrows flew out from the forest, and several of those who couldn't escape were directly shot to the ground, screaming in pain. screams.

The first mate saw it clearly now. Dozens of people wearing half-body armor and holding big bows came out from the opposite side. They lined up in a scattered formation and shot arrows at them as they walked.

The sound of feathered arrows piercing the air filled the mountains and forests. The pirates with crossbows hurriedly loaded arrows on themselves, but their movements were easy targets for fire. In addition, the camp was not covered, and several crossbowmen were shot. shot down.

Fortunately, the pirates who used bows and crossbows were all elites under Hua En's command, and they all wore iron armor. Although the feather arrows hit their bodies, they failed to hurt their vital organs. Although most of them were shot over, they could still stand. Rise up and fight back.

"kill!"

The first mate knew that he couldn't be passively beaten like this, and when the opponent shot the quiver empty, it was estimated that there would be no living people here.

The living pirates, led by the chief mate, immediately charged at the archers. After parrying two feathered arrows, the first mate finally got close to the archers at the cost of another feathered arrow with his arm.

The reason why the intermediate imperial sea soldiers are better than the junior sea soldiers is that besides the armor, they know how to bow and arrow. Since ancient times, those who can pull a big bow are all warriors with extraordinary arms. After the pirates rushed in front of them, they decisively Throw down the big bow, pick up the long knife and fight with them.

The melee combat ability of the sailors is no worse than their archery. After all, they have to participate in the boarding battle in many cases, so even the first officer, who has been in battle for a long time, did not take down the opponent in front of him for a while.

The chief mate's subordinates seemed to be mixed, and most of them were wounded, and a few were chopped down one after another. The rest of them panicked when they saw their comrades fell, and those who were paddling behind turned around and ran away. .

"You are not allowed to leave!" The first mate roared, but just as he was distracted, his arm was cut off by Qi Gen, and blood spattered.

The chief mate screamed, and more and more sea soldiers followed up behind him. A few of them poked at him fiercely, and the first officer soon fell silent.

No. [-] continued to chase with his subordinates, but there were many obstacles in the woods. After shooting a few people, the fastest running pirate had disappeared.

"Clean up the battlefield and take back the arrows." No. [-] said pantingly, and then he came to the gold mine camp, and found several people stuck their heads out of the mine, and when they saw themselves, they shrank back.

The bearded man and the little man ran out of the forest at this time, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and remembered the scene of fighting with them a few months ago. Before they met anyone here, many companions were shot to death on the road.

"Is this a gold mine?" Number One looked at the messy camp.

The bearded man nodded, and then looked at the mine: "Yes, but the gold was taken back by the lord. I don't know if those people are still alive?"

"Who?"

"Miner." The little man answered positively.

Number One walked towards the mine: "You are all safe, come out!"

Hearing the sound of No. [-], the miners came out cautiously. When they saw the guards of the two lords, they stopped again.

"Why don't you come out?" Number One asked.

"The lord won't let us out," replied the miners.

The bearded man also nodded: "The lord ordered it like this."

"But now that the pirates are attacking, we have expelled them again. We will definitely not let them go when the pirates come back." Number One said, "Go back to the port together."

The bearded man and the little man looked at each other: "No, it's not very good..."

"One more person is more strength, you come out quickly, it's time to hurry, they will bring more people over later." No. [-] greeted.

The bearded man can't help it. These are the lords who asked them to help defend them. If they are upset, if they join the pirates, their heads will have to move.

The lord guard who was in charge of contacting No. [-] and them saw a lot of people coming out, so they asked those migrant workers to return to the mine.

"Go back?" No. [-] smiled, "You stay there and watch them, we'll go first."

The guard's face changed and he didn't dare to speak.

On the way back, No. [-] directly told Liu Peng what happened here, and his eyes turned red when he heard that there was a gold mine.

"After defeating them, we have to find a way to occupy this island!"

Thinking this way, Liu Peng contacted Hei Yao and the others...
