Chapter 282 Misunderstanding

Grenades are limited. We can only use them moderately. After I had stopped shooting, I waited until the smoke from the other side had cleared, and I continued to let the prisoners shout, killing a dozen of them and throwing them into the channel if they did not answer.

After killing over 60 of them, they finally gave up. Hang out the white flag.

Several large ships came from the depths of the channel, and when they reached the other side, more than a hundred men got on board.

When he came to the wall, he saw an old man with a golden crown at the head.

When we arrived, he glanced at us and fell to his knees.

I walked up to him. "Are you the king?"

"I am the king. Please stop killing. We are willing to surrender."

"Where are your sons?

"It's all here." The king pointed to some of the men on himself. All ages, one of them not much younger than he looked.

I went up and put the barrel of the gun to the man's head. "How many sons of the king are you?"

"Please tell me, chief, I am the eldest son."

"How old are you?"

"Fifty-two."

"And you, king?" I asked over my shoulder.

"I'm sixty-seven."

"You had a child when you were fifteen?"

The king nodded. 'Yes, we both marry young. That's not unusual.'

There was truth in that, but I couldn't believe it, and the man wasn't dressed like a prince. If they're lying, don't expect to get the truth out of them. After some deliberation, I sent John and a hundred men by boat to the other side.

When the ship landed, I was relieved to see that nothing was out of the ordinary. When they go to the gate, someone shot a rocket down, Cui Bin they immediately hid under the wall, with guns and grenades to fight back. The other side immediately began to fight.

"Grenade me." I roared, and walked up to the king and knocked him to the ground. "You followed me like that."

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." The King lay on his back and waved his hands. "Someone must have shot the arrow by accident. When your men opened fire, they shot back."

I raised my gun and pulled the trigger, and the king fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. Amid the screams of others, a young man suddenly stood up and rushed at me with a dagger in his hand. I quickly moved away, and the man behind me had shot and killed him.

"Kill all these people." I don't expect these guys to surrender.

At this they tried to resist, even with their bare hands, but one by one they fell under our guns.

On the other side of the island, Zong Bu they have been in our cooperation, successfully took down the wall.

Seeing this, I immediately took the men who were left on the wall to another large ship. As soon as he climbed the walls, he saw a great kingdom within.

"Chief, they're all hiding inside." John came back to report, holding his forehead.

"Are you hurt?

"It's a little hurt, it's all right." John shook his head.

"Go and dress it." I arranged, "Burn the city down."

"Oh, did it burn?" John was shocked: "It's a pity to have such a big royal city."

"What a pity to have our new royal city?" In order to rule these kingdoms completely, it is necessary to completely destroy their royal cities and return them to the time of tribes.

"That's true." John lowered his head.

When THE torches were ready, I told my men to shout and tell them that they were going to set fire to the city. As a result, the people who were hiding inside were scared and ran out. All gathered under the wall to prostrate on the ground, there must be several thousand people.

"Stand up on the wall, all the royal family." "I shouted.

A hundred people, led by a middle-aged man, emerged from the group. "Sir," he said in a loud voice, "my father has given me the throne. I will lead the whole clan to surrender, and I will never have second thoughts."

I waved to them, "All up."

As they went up the wall, John leaned close to me and asked, "Will you kill them all, too, chief?"

"No, take them all back to Cuckoo Island." If I do kill all the Kings, the remaining four kingdoms will fight to the end. Majesty has been done enough; now it is time to bestow grace.

After leading his family up the walls, the new king continued to bow to the ground. I went up and pulled him to his feet and comforted him, saying, "I didn't want to kill your father the king, but he tricked me. I had to. Take it easy. I would never kill you."

"Thank you, chief." Tears fell into his eyes.

I said, "I will give your father a good burial. Now send your courtiers and summon all the men, and if another attack is made on us before nightfall, it will be my fault."

"Yes, Sir." The new king wiped away his tears and stood at the wall. After the ministers were marched out, the surrender order was issued.

I asked John to send someone to inform Cui Bin and his men, hold the island opposite, hold the channel, and make sure the ships are not damaged again. Then under the leadership of the new kingdom into the city of Kings.

In the palace hall, I learned the main facts about their kingdom, which was dominated by three islands, with seven islands of varying sizes scattered around them, and controlled by several nearby tribes. The whole kingdom has a population of fifty thousand. The island abounds in spices. The kingdom is institutionally divided into royal families, gentry and commoners. The gentry was a hereditary office.

At noon the ministers returned one by one, more than a hundred in all. After the briefing, I removed the junior ministers. Having people bring maps, familiarize themselves with the geography of their island, and name the enfranchised chieftain by name.

This move made people more than stunned, but can get the land and people at one stroke, or let them very happy to accept the enthronement.

When it was done, I asked aloud, "To whom will you be loyal?"

Several important ministers knelt together: "From now on, we will be loyal to the chief."

"And in case of mutiny?"

"I dare not."

"The leader has given us land and people, and we dare not rebel even if we have the greatest courage."

"That would be the best. If anyone rebelled, he would be killed." I read the last three words, word by word.

All the ministers scrambled to the ground to reassure.

The new king looked on wistfully.

I stood up and said, "All right, take your people and go to the lands and start a tribe."

When all the court had left, I turned to the new king and said, "The royal family will follow me back to the island of Cuckoo."

"Thanks to the chief for not killing." The new king nodded sadly.

"By the way, who's taken the Archbishop?"

"The kingdom of gold."

I nodded and ordered the royal family to rest in their chambers.

The realm is settled, and I'm sending my own men to recruit the captured men of Brass Island. Cui Bin came in with dozens of people. I recognized at once some of them as the lords of brass Island.

I sat back down. Cui Bin came up and said, "Chief, I have called together the captured brass Islanders. They are all living in slavery in the three islands of the royal city."

"Hard work."

Cui Bin smiled and walked aside to sit down.

Several patriarchs came up together, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. That I had finally come to their rescue, for more than a year they had been frightened and humiliated.

I meant to wait until they were done crying. Several people saw that I did not respond, straight up with a blank face.

"What did you do when the five Kingdoms attacked the Island of Brass?"

"We..."

"We resisted, chief. You can't beat him. There are too many of them."

I looked at Cui Bin. "Are they telling the truth?"

Cui Bin shook his head. "I don't know if they resisted, but I know that many of them joined the allied forces to attack the new king's city."

"I have not, chief I have not." A master planked forward: "I was neutral."

I directly swing a hand: "all drag out to kill."

I treated these masters well, expecting them to be loyal to me. And this is what happened. Now that they are completely useless, I will not be lenient with these traitors.

Several of the patriarchs howled and struggled as they were dragged away.
