    But no matter how nice it sounds, it actually looks better than pirates forcing people into the sea.  Although the survival rates of one in 10,000 and one in 100 are greatly improved in terms of probability, there is essentially no difference in terms of behavior.  Although war is indeed cruel, the difference in treatment of prisoners is a big gap between elite troops and stragglers.  Captain Caplin must come up with a reasonable explanation no matter what, otherwise he may release a beast that has been imprisoned for a long time in the hearts of the sailors.  The whole aftermath work took a real day, and finally five galleys sank into the rolling waves amid the raging fire.  Then the whirlpools caused by these sunken ships turned the rolling white waves into crystal foam under the setting sun.  On the sea surface more than 1,000 feet away from this maelstrom, sampans one after another are paddling their long oars on both sides, rising and falling with the surging water.  Although they were in a relatively safe area, in Barrett's eyes they were still in a state of danger.  A slightly larger wave, a large marine creature attracted by the sunken ship, or a large-scale paddle into the ocean current that deviates from the direction of the mainland.  Not to mention that the moody sea may blow up a huge storm at any time. In the face of natural disasters in which the three-masted sailboat is likely to sink, the small sampan drifting with the current not far away has no ability to struggle.  Barrett, who was watching all this on the poop deck, turned his head and sighed: "I feel like watching a pile of gold coins being melted and poured into a deep valley before my eyes." "If we don't burn them, who knows what will happen to them?"  Will the attackers salvage the sunken ship? If they want to do it, they must do it thoroughly and let them know that they must pay the price if they dare to attack us." Captain Caplin put down the pipe in his hand without even looking.  Look in the direction of the sunken ship.  Although Captain Caplin looks very righteous, in fact he is bleeding in his heart!  You must know that among the spoils of naval battles, as the captain and squadron commander, he can enjoy a pretty good dividend.  At least four digits of gold coins left him like this. It was impossible to say that he was not unwilling in his heart.  Captain Caplin is also a person who can afford to take things and let things go. He understands that given the current situation of the Bolum fleet, it would be harmful and unhelpful to forcefully carry all the loot on the road.  Despite the fact that the enemy's ambushers were almost completely wiped out this time, the mastermind behind the scenes may not be able to find any suitable means of confrontation in a short period of time.  But if the Bolum fleet slowly takes off with those encumbrances, it will give those people time and opportunity to regroup the fleet.  You must know that their current situation is already very bad. If they encounter another attack of this scale, no matter how much money they have, they will not be wasted.  So no matter how reluctant you are to let go, no matter how much you feel it goes against the principles, you still have to do it when you need to be cruel.  Barrett, who felt that he had said something stupid, immediately changed the subject: "Mr. Caplin, have any of the prisoners confessed? Who sent them to cause trouble for us this time?" "They should be confessed.  It's true, but it's not very useful information." Captain Caplin said this with a bad expression: "They are ships belonging to the Gunak Republic, and they also received orders to intercept us this time.  They don't know the guy who fought against Morpheus Knight. "Are these guys hiding something?" Barrett frowned, "How about some more tactics from the 6 team members?"  It's not necessary. Those guys have already accepted their fate after being caught. Anyway, changing the family is not a big deal for them." Speaking of this, Captain Caplin said with a slight disdain: "Anyway, those guys think that with their own abilities.  , you can find a job with another force." "But the Gunak Republic? Our Bolum Territory has not shown any hostility in the past," Barrett felt a little confused.  What kind of interests are worth taking such a big risk to fight with us? "Although the Gunak Republic and the Tutkel Commercial Republic are both called republics, the gap in national power between the two has reached a point where they are completely different.  .  The latter can be regarded as a real country, while the former is just a large city-state and its surrounding areas.  In terms of financial resources, it is not even as good as Diving City, but it may have some advantages in terms of population and agriculture. The name "Republic" is really not worthy of its name.  A regional regime like this that is not too strong generally adopts a diplomatic strategy of making peace and making money.  Even if there were some small tricks behind his back, he would never attack so blatantly.  And for a force like the Gunak Republic, six oarsAlthough the losses to the sailing ship and supporting crew were far from the level of gambling on the country's fortunes, they could still be considered to be a serious injury.  And after paying such a heavy price, he would still gain the hostility of the Bolum Territory.  Even if the competition between the other party and the Tutkel Commercial Republic has become fierce, if it is very unworthy, even capturing three frigates intact is not worth it.  "It should be the force behind the enemy strongman who entangled Knight Morpheus! The other party didn't know what they paid to the Gunak Republic, so they asked them to take action." Captain Caplin paused, "  However, it is also strange that the captains who came to perform such tasks did not get any news from their comrades. " "This is not just a good enough concealment." Barrett touched his chin. "  But there is a complete plan being implemented. The guys behind it think they are our old rivals of the Bolum Order. " "I think so too, but our old rivals are not in the minority. Which one is still needed?  Investigate carefully." Along with this voice, Knight Morpheus also joined the discussion.  "Sooner or later, we will figure it out." Barrett said with certainty. "There is no plan that leaves absolutely no loopholes. It was just that we didn't pay attention to it before. As long as we step up the collection of intelligence, it should be clear soon."  Something has been gained." Although he said so, Barrett already had his own answer in his heart: "Those damn Lucians are the most suspicious, and they have the most motives now.  Back then, we were able to hire pirates to attack the harbor, but now we can play this game smoothly.  ¡¯ The thoughts of the Kingdom of Lucia towards the Kingdom of Cruz are now well known in the Western Continent.  The biggest obstacle in front of the Lucians is the Kingdom of Nohan.  Therefore, if there is any opportunity to weaken the Nohan Kingdom, the Lucia Kingdom will never give up.  They have motivations, and as a powerful country in the West, they also have strength.  Although there is a long distance between the Gunak Republic and the Kingdom of Lucia.  But as long as both parties are willing, there is still the possibility of cooperation between the two.  That kind of cooperation between countries has various different transaction methods.  "Sooner or later, those guys will pay the price." Knight Morpheus clenched his fist, "I have already remembered the guy who attacked you, Barrett today. If we encounter him next time, he will definitely kill him as soon as possible.  Recognize him. When it comes to the battle, I don¡¯t believe that the other party will let go of such a strong fighting force.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, I would like to ask, even Mr. Morpheus did not recognize the knight.  "What's your identity?" Barrett asked with some disbelief, "The opponent's fighting style is quite special among the knights." There are not many knights in the Western Continent who like sneak attacks and are good at concealed combat.  This genre often has a clear conflict with the inheritance system of knights, and it is incompatible without special secret methods.  Since it is a secret method, it cannot be spread too widely, which seriously restricts their number.  At the same time, these families became somewhat famous among the knights.  "This is really embarrassing." Knight Morpheus scratched his head, "I have never put much energy into this aspect. If it were other knights in the territory, even Ovaltine would probably recognize him.  Come. But there is really nothing I can do." "It seems that everything will be clear until we return to the territory. Master Murphy has already said that it is not easy for his magic to find out the secret behind this.  Things." Captain Caplin's expression on the side was not very good at this time.  No matter what the middle and senior management of the frigate think, ordinary sailors, after bidding farewell to their former comrades, started working no differently from the past.  The damaged sails were replaced, and the new cables were shiny with the sea water.  The three frigates rode the sea breeze and continued northward along the route.  Perhaps because of the attack, the Bolum fleet gave up the plan to stop for supplies on the way. Counting the attrition and seizures, the supplies were enough for them to insist on returning to the territory.  After swaying slowly on the sea for dozens of days, the Port of Morebihan appeared in Barrett's sight at dusk, as if it was covered with a layer of yellow gauze.  However, Barrett is currently flying over the Iron Curtain. If he wants the lookout on the ship to see the port, the frigate will have to sail for a while before it can successfully enter the port before sunset. It is not certain at this time.  .  Fortunately, the news of sighting the home port spread to the three frigates. Everyone there, from the captain to the ordinary sailors, became very excited.  Will make up for it tomorrow.  Although he said so, Barrett already had his own answer in his heart: 'Those damn Lucians are the most suspicious, and they have the most motives now.  We were able to hire pirates to attack the harbor,?It's natural to have a smooth time playing this game.  ¡¯ The thoughts of the Kingdom of Lucia towards the Kingdom of Cruz are now well known in the Western Continent.  The biggest obstacle in front of the Lucians is the Kingdom of Nohan.  Therefore, if there is any opportunity to weaken the Nohan Kingdom, the Lucia Kingdom will never give up.  They have motivations, and as a powerful country in the West, they also have strength.  Although there is a long distance between the Gunak Republic and the Kingdom of Lucia.  But as long as both parties are willing, there is still the possibility of cooperation between the two.  That kind of cooperation between countries has various different transaction methods.  "Sooner or later, those guys will pay the price."
