Chapter 1026 - End Of Battle - Part 1
Within the last floor below deck, several streaming dragias held knives against the necks of so slaves calmly.
Earlier on, they had noticed that these Baymardians didn’t seem to have any interest in killing the slaves, so they wanted to use these bastards as bargaining ch.i.p.s for their lives.
Provided they could leave, they didn’t care who died.
The hostages were so frightened and shaken that they started shouting and begging frantically.
"Don’t kill !"
"Don’t kill !"
"Help! Help!"
"I...I don’t want to die. Save !"
Their shrivelled screams of fear made Joshi shake even more.
This was the first ti he felt the real weight of soone’s life in his hands.
If... If he made a mistake, wouldn’t they die?
Seeing that these Baymardians weren’t doing anything, a grim-faced Dragia quickly lashed out angrily: "Hurry up and let us go or ale this guy will be dead at! I an it! If you don’t let
go, then l give him here and end it all. We want to set off now! So prepare us a boat and let us out of here honestly!"
"Yeah! You do as we say, and there won’t be any problems. And while we’re at it, we don’t like being threatened. So drop your weapons!"
Jishi and a few others dropped their weapons on the ground calmly and stood with their hands up defenselessly.
"Alright. We’ve dropped everything, so let’s act civilized and talk everything through.
Just release the prisoners and chat properly, okay?"
The lead dragia scoffed in disdain: "Pui! You expect
to believe that you all won’t try tricking us? You slippery Baymardians are not to be trusted. How are we sure that you won’t try stabbing us after we let go of the hostages? What do you think we are? Stupid?"
(*^*)
A few of the veteran marines almost rolled their eyes at them.
At tis, so criminals who got scared ended up doing as they said in confusion.
So there was nothing wrong with trying their luck while negotiating peacefully.
And the mont he heard the English word/signal given slipped in one of the conversions, he knew it was ti.
He started talking animatedly, with his hands moving around a lot, calling everyone’s attention to himself.
.
On the ground, a few veterans were carefully pointing at the enemies silently.
Earlier on, the mont they ca in and witnessed the hostage situation, the veterans at the very back had quickly backed away, as if heading up the stairs.
But rather than going towards the deck, they only dropped to the ground and crawled at the sides, trying to blend in with the frightened slaves seated on several benches, leaning at the sides.
So slaves did see them and even aided in hiding them.
The mont the marines ca in saying they were indeed the Baymardians, the slaves were filled with hope.
Those on the grounds quickly God behind the bodies of many while pointing their pistols towards the skulls of these dragias.
Of course, the dragias were still fully focused on their conversation with Jishi, who talked in a calm but overly animated way.
.
"That’s right! We want a boat! And we want it now."
"No! We have to take sothing bigger!
We want one of your sh.i.p.s and the beasts inside!
That’s the fastest way we can get out of here without you all double-crossing us!"
"Well, co on... Run over and tell your people that we want a ship now!
You tell them..."
~Peeup! Peeup! Peeup!~~
The dragias had no ti to react when they suddenly felt a frightening pain bore into their heads.
Their eyes opened wide in shock and panic as they struggled to fight back.
How?
How did it beco like this?
Weren’t they the ones with the weapons?
It was really true what they said about death.
Ti seed to move too slow, as everything froze in place.
They didn’t know if it was an exaggeration or not, but they saw everything in slow motion and could even feel death’s breath against their bodies.
Cold.
It was like falling down an endless dark well, as the only source of light grew smaller and smaller.
And no matter how they struggled to climb out, they just kept falling in fear.
~Bam!!!
Their bodies dropped hard on the floor, and the slaves started crying and exclaiming gleefully in tears.
They looked at the Jishi and the rest bowed their heads and thanked them heartedly.
This... So this was the feeling of successfully saving people?
Jishi’s heart was filled with honey and out for these slaves.
And as he broke the chains binding them, the slaves once again thanked him warmly.
The way they handled today’s matter made a few veterans look at the rookies in satisfaction.
"You all did well. I’ll be sure to award rit points when we get back."
"Thank you, sir!"
"Heh. Don’t thank
yet.
We still have a battle to finish. And the most important thing is to keep your lives in check.
Now, let’s go!
I just got word that there are only 3 more sh.i.p.s to attack."
.
Linvor, Jimosen and their most trusted n, rushed towards their chambers in disbelief at the scene before them.
What do they do now?
They thought they had a chance.
But it seems that all of this was just their wishful thinking.
The enemy will be here any mont now, and they had no thoughts of dying without warning his excellency.
Jimosen paced back and forth with his hands on his head frantically: "Old friend. You’re usually smarter than . So don’t you have a plan yet? Think! What would Dragmus do?"
"Sh! I’m thinking! I’m thinking!
Dammit! I don’t see how we can slip out of here without them noticing us.
I don’t see it!... I...."
Linvor paused the mont he spotted a few rum barrels.
That’s it!
Jimosen followed his eyes in confusion.
"Old friend. You want us to drink rum?"
"No fool! The barrels are our rides!"
