Chapter 52 - Chapter 52 Occupy the Split Palate Island

Smoke swirled over the square, and flames jumped on the tower and surrounding buildings, making a crackling sound. Liu Qian's gaze swept over the kneeling Hal and the familiar head in his hand. He looked at Hal who was kneeling in a pool of blood and covered in blood. The short silence was like a boulder pressing down on the heart of every kneeler. Only the sound of burning flames and the whimper of the sea breeze through the ruins. Liu Qian pondered. This Hal may not have wanted to surrender to him from the beginning, but when he saw him leading his army to surround everyone, he had to surrender in a timely manner. However, he was currently employing people, and having someone familiar with the waters of the Shijie Islands would obviously help him in his subsequent conquests. Liu Qian's voice was majestic: "Very good, Hal, you did a good job, I accept the allegiance of you and the brothers on the Split Palate Island." " He didn't go to pick up the disgusting head, and didn't even bother to take a look. He tilted his head slightly and ordered Jorah Mormont beside him: "Sir Jorah, hang this head on the highest point of the fortress, the most conspicuous place, so that the entire Split Palate Island can see clearly, and the era of 'Shipbreaker' Kago is over." " "Yes." Jorah replied in a deep voice, with no expression on his face. He took a few steps forward, pulled a spare piece of coarse hemp rope from his waist, and quickly put it on the hair and jaw of Kago's head, tying a knot. Then, as if carrying an ordinary cargo, he turned expressionlessly and walked towards the tallest flagpole next to the tower. Kago's head swayed in his hands, and the dripping blood dragged a broken red line behind him. Liu Qian's gaze fell back on Hal, who was kneeling on the ground: "Hal, you and your men will be temporarily incorporated into Rollo's fleet to assist Rollo in stabilizing the strongholds on Split Palate Island, counting supplies, gathering surrendered troops, if you have other intentions, I will hang your head on the side of Kago..." Liu Qian didn't finish speaking, but as his cold gaze swept over Hal and the crowd kneeling behind him, everyone felt a chill rushing from their spines to the top of their heads, as if they were being held around their necks by the invisible Scythe of Death. The cold gaze of the Dragon Spirit Guard also locked on them as if it were substantial. "Absolutely impossible, my lord, my iron hook is at your disposal!" Hal quickly touched his head to the ground, his voice carrying the excitement and deep awe of the rest of his life. He knew that he had won the first step, but he was also completely tied to the chariot of this cold and powerful new master, and there was no way out. As Kago's bloody head was hung high on the highest flagpole of Fort Split Palate, swaying slightly in the morning wind and sea breeze, it announced the end of the old era and the arrival of a new order to the entire island. Split Palate Island, a pirate lair that once terrified merchant ships, was officially included in Liu Qian's command. And Liu Qian's reputation was like a wing, and with the bloody news, he flew deeper into the Stone Steps Islands. After occupying the Split Palate Island, Liu Qian immediately asked Jelena to come from the Torture Abyss. At this time, Rollo had already done the counting of the pirates. Sitting in the hall of the tower where Kago used to be, Liu Qian looked at Rollo, Hal, and Jola Mormont below. Rollo said happily: "My lord, all the people have been counted, and a total of 2,500 pirates have surrendered on the Split Palate Island, in addition, a huge amount of wealth was found in the warehouse of the Split Palat Island, which is about 200,000 if converted into the golden dragon of the Seven Kingdoms. " More than 200,000? Coupled with his money in the Torture Abyss, and after deducting Luo Luo's expenses in the Spear Handle Village, he accumulated nearly 700,000 golden dragons at this time. This money was enough for him to build a decent fleet, not to mention that he already had a fleet of Torture Abyss and Split Palate Island. "By the way, did you send someone over to Crying Reef Island?" Liu Qian remembered that after Mara was shot by him last night, the rest of the warships on Crying Reef Island scattered like birds and beasts, so he asked. This time it was not Rollo who answered, but Hal: "My lord, we know very well about the waterways of Crying Reef Island, I have asked the brothers of Cracked Palate Island to cooperate with Lord Rollo's fleet to receive Crying Reef Island, and if we encounter the resistance of that group of mongrels, we will definitely crush them." Our Split Palate Island and Crying Reef Island are blood feuds, there are hundreds of disputes, this time Kago betrayed his relatives, also because he wanted to collude with the bitch of Crying Reef Island, that salt bitch is called to support Cracked Palate Island, secretly it will definitely plunder, we Split Palate Island and no one can be with the salt bitch! " The hatred in Hal's words was engraved into the bone marrow, and the pirate leaders of Split Palat Island standing behind him all said yes. Liu Qian was a little surprised by this scene, he didn't expect that the relationship between Split Palate Island and Crying Reef Island was so bad, and it tasted like old enemies, just like Bracken and Blackwood in the Seven Kingdoms Riverland. From this point of view, Mara's sneak attack last night may not only target Liu Qian, but may also be the dock of Split Palate Island. Otherwise, why didn't they stop Liu Qian before landing, and had to wait for Liu Qian to wreak havoc on the shore before staging a belated drama? Unfortunately, Crying Reef Island's wishful thinking was good, but he hated Liu Qian's arrow. "Rollo, how is the fleet on Split Palate Island?" Liu Qian looked at Rollo. After he occupied Split Palate Island, he asked Rollo to send someone to register all the ships on Split Palate Island. Rollo couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "There are still twenty-six rowing boats, of which five double-deck warships can be used." " Liu Qian smiled, now he can be regarded as a major overlord of the Narrow Sea. The double-deck warships plus the three of the Torture Abyss are a total of eight. The number of ordinary single-deck paddle boats has reached thirty-five. And he also bought thirty commercial sailing ships in Valantis, although the sailboats were not easy to drive with paddle boards due to structural problems, but his five swan ships were also loaded with heavy crossbows. In other words, Liu Qian currently has forty-eight warships that can be used for combat. He looked at everyone: "As soon as Mara dies, the crying reef island is leaderless, and we will pursue with victory, and there should be no problem in receiving the crying reef island, but our real enemy is not Kago or Mara, but the self-proclaimed "Prince of the Narrow Sea", Salado Thorn, take him, we can traverse the Narrow Sea. " "Rollo, you and Sir Jorah go to Spearhandle Village to buy some repair materials and heavy weapons on the ship, the more the better, if there are still shipbuilders looking for employers there, you can also buy them directly." When Rollo heard this, a hint of unnaturalness flashed on his face, but he quickly restrained himself and said, "Yes, my lord." " When everyone retreated, Rollo returned to the hall alone, and he asked quietly: "My lord, why did you let me go to the Spearhandle Village with Sir Jora, you are not afraid..." Rollo is thoughtful and good at observing words and expressions. He had long discovered that Jola was not sincere under Liu Qian's command at all, so he had repeatedly advised Liu Qian not to use Jora, a person with two hearts, but Liu Qian smiled and shook his head and refused many times. This time, he couldn't help but want to remind Liu Qian again. Liu Qian no longer hid his thoughts: "Luo Luo, you have been with me for a while, you should know my temper, if it wasn't profitable, I would have let him stay with me for so long? This time I asked you to go to Spear Handle Village with Jola, in fact, I had a purpose..." After he whispered a few words in Luo Luo's ear, Luo Luo instantly reacted, and the sadness on his face turned into a smile. "My lord, I understand."
