Pirate: Crazy Devil Vic

Vic and the others here knew nothing about this and were still worried until two days later, they encountered a pirate ship again.

This time the pirate ship is obviously larger than its previous counterparts. It is a standard three-masted sailing ship.

The bow of the boat is designed like a shark lunging forward with its mouth open. The eyes are painted red, and there are densely packed fangs in the mouth. The shape is very ferocious.

This is a large-scale pirate group, and the ship can carry at least more than 100 people.

The sails of this pirate ship were lowered, leaving only the mast and dense ropes. The pirate flag composed of shark teeth and skulls fluttered in the wind, making it extremely conspicuous.

At this time, the pirate ship was anchored not far away from an inhabited island, and his master, the pirates, were engaged in a business they were very familiar with - robbery.

The size of this small island-side village is no different from many small island-side fishing villages, with only a few dozen households.

Counting all the strong men from each family, there was no way they could stand up to this bandit. Their fate was already doomed.

Vic couldn't hear the screams of the residents on the boat, but he could faintly see the light of the fire and the smoke column - it was definitely not the smoke that represented peace and beauty.

Vic thought that the captain, Lieutenant Lipa, would give the order to fire as loudly as the previous time, to deal a harsh blow to these vicious pirates.

After all, the previous wave was just traveling on the sea, but this wave was committing crimes under the eyes of ruthless naval officers.

The result was beyond Vic's expectation. The captain actually ordered the anchor to be dropped. The location chosen was also very clever. It happened to be in a favorable terrain that was visible to the people on the pirate ship but not to the village.

Vic understood instantly.

At this time, Vic finally understood the "special operation" that Neil was talking about.

But the new recruits on the ship haven't understood it yet, and most of them are confused.

"What's going on? Why did you stop, stop here?"

"what happened?"

"Why don't you beat them, Lieutenant?"

"Yeah, why are we still here? Aren't we going to save the villagers on the island?"

"Oops, there's already a fire over there. It's so tragic."

"The fire is already so big that we can't put it out even if we go there now. Alas, if only we had come earlier..."

"These damn pirates! They all deserve to be hanged!"

"Let's go quickly! What are you waiting for! Why hasn't the second lieutenant given the order yet?!"

"The captain must have his own considerations. The captain is a second lieutenant."

"I think the captain definitely wants to wait until all the pirates are on board before catching them all!"

"Yes, yes, just like the time before, bang bang bang bang, the ship was shattered into pieces!"

“But what about the residents?”

"Yes, I don't know what happened to those people. They are so pitiful."

"What do you know? The captain must have his reasons for doing this!"

"That is, if the ship is sunk now, those pirates will be desperate and will definitely kill all the villagers!"

"Yes, if we wait a little longer, maybe they will just grab a few things and leave. Then we will open fire again!"

"Yes, if we don't kill them all, more people will be harmed in the future. This village has no choice but to sacrifice for more people..."

"What you said seems to make sense, but..."

Listening to the discussion of these new recruits, Neil and Hunter looked at each other, then looked away at the same time in tacit agreement.

It’s just that Neil’s expression was a little excited, and his eyes were eager to try.

He pulled out the knife from his waist, wiped it carefully with a cloth, and checked the gunpowder in the musket one by one.

However, Hunter, who looked strong and strong, did not look happy at all. Instead, he looked solemn and frowned, looking at the village with complicated eyes.

One hand gently touched the scar on his face, and the other hand tightly grasped the handle of the knife.

Vic noticed the completely different behaviors of the two people, narrowed his eyes slightly, and calmly moved farther away from Neil, and gradually moved not far behind Hunter.

Fury and Barritt followed their brother's footsteps. They were confused by the arguments of these marines and didn't know which side was right.

"Brother, are they telling the truth? The captain really thinks so?"

Fury asked a little uncertainly, he always felt something was strange.

"I don't know what's wrong, but Barritt doesn't think what they're saying is right."

Barritt was certain of his judgment.

Vic sighed. In addition to some people in the navy who blindly believed in Lieutenant Lipa, there were also many young people who were worried about the name of the village. I didn't know what they would think later.

He tried his best to tell the two of them what was about to happen in euphemistic but easy-to-understand terms, so that they could be mentally prepared.

"Fury, Barritt, do you know the relationship between cats and mice?"

Both of them were puzzled by this question.

"Aren't cats and mice natural enemies? Are there any other relationships?"

Fury knew that since his brother asked this, he was definitely not just talking casually.

Vic took a deep breath, thought about it, and then spoke.

"A family had rats in their granary, so they raised a cat to catch the rats. The cat worked very hard at first and completed its mission very seriously. But he soon discovered that doing so had little benefit to him, and it was very dangerous. The mice will disappear soon. Will the owner continue to raise them by then?"

Fury frowned slightly in thought, and Barritt pursed his lips in confusion.

Vic smiled slightly.

"So he became smarter. Occasionally he would catch one or two mice to fight with each other, and sometimes he would even deliberately let them go. He found that the grain eaten by the mice was a drop in the bucket, and the owner did not notice his slackness at all, and even thought the mice were Less.”

Fury exclaimed in low voice, and Barritt also had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Vic glanced at the two of them one by one, his tone somewhat unclear.

"The cat gradually developed more clever tricks. He first allowed the mouse to steal the grain, and then jumped out and killed him to show his merit. In this way, not only did the mouse meat he ate become fatter and more oily, but he also gained a considerable inheritance. and may receive greater merit, for he gives his prey more evil deeds.”

After Vic finished speaking, both Fury and Barritt were a little dazed. Barritt asked in confusion:

"Master, doesn't he care?"

Fury gave him an annoyed sideways glance.

"Idiot, the master can only see what the cat wants to see. As long as there is no fire in the granary, how can he see other small things. You are just as stupid as Ed."

Vic glanced at Fury in surprise.

Fury was obviously a little frustrated by the naked truth, but although he was frustrated, he obviously accepted it without any obstacles, and was even able to draw inferences.

The experience of these two days has made him grow rapidly. Now, all he needs is a little nudge from Vic, and he is instantly transformed. He is no longer the kid who panicked when things happened.

Barritt, a big man with a simple heart, obviously couldn't accept it. He even looked a little dazed.

Hopefully what happens later will make him realize the reality.

Even if he couldn't see the village, Vic could still imagine what kind of horrific human tragedy was happening there at this time.
