The Coral Island Battle initiated by Admiral Mal Cullen of Idar Navy did not last too long.
Especially after Idar navy soldiers took advantage of the darkness to occupy the port of the coral island and took control of the pirate ships parked in the port, the pirates on the coral island have become turtles in the urn.
The port was occupied, the ship was detained, and Idar soldiers almost completely cut off all escape routes for the pirates.
Therefore, the pirates had only two choices, either surrender or fight to the death.
If the enemies opposite Idar's navy were replaced by Crusaders with religious beliefs buffs, or Odins with no brains, then they might fight back before dying.
But... at this moment, the enemies of Idar Navy are pirates! And they are a group of pirates who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and bully the weak!
Therefore, the pirates had no intention of fighting in their hearts. They just fought and retreated, fighting carefully while waiting for orders from the pirate leader Kelvin.
That’s right!
The pirates who were fighting the Idars on the front line had no idea that the pirate leader Kelvin Prato had actually been killed by a magic crystal bomb thrown by the Idars!
Even the Idar man who threw the magic crystal bomb had no idea that he had killed the boss on the opposite side.
Most of the Coral Island pirates' residences are concentrated around the port, so in the second half of the night, after the magic crystal bombs stopped throwing, the Idar people began to enter the streets and alleys of the Coral Island to clear out the pirates hiding in their residences.
That’s right, streets!
After Kelvin's management over the years, the buildings on the coral island actually have a certain appearance. Regardless of the identity of the pirates, it looks like a medium-sized town in the vast sea.
The war ended at dawn.
The body of Kelvin Prato was discovered by a fleeing pirate outside the castle on the island. Because it was too close to the explosion point of the magic crystal bomb, the pirate leader's face had been blurred by the blast.
, torn apart...
But this pirate still recognized at a glance that the guy in front of him who could not die anymore was his boss - Kelvin Prato!
When the news came out, the pirates' will to resist completely collapsed. Even though a very small number of Kelvin Prato's diehards tried to resist, they could no longer make a big splash.
Because, the vast majority of pirates have already thrown their weapons on the ground and surrendered to Idar's army.
"Oh my god! How did that guy recognize that this is Kelvin Prato when everything exploded like this?"
Looking at the corpse in front of him that had been blown to pieces, Mal Caron complained.
"Probably because of the cast iron skull ring on my finger..."
As he spoke, Captain Jack pointed to a finger that fell in the grass beside him.
After all, Captain Jack once was Kelvin's subordinate, so...he quickly recognized the ring. It was the skull ring that Kelvin had always worn.
After hearing Jack's affirmative reply, Mal Cullen nodded.
How miserable...
I don’t know which sailor fired the magic crystal bomb that killed Kelvin. I’ll have to add chicken legs to him when I get back!
After this long-prepared battle by the Idar people, the Coral Island pirates can be said to have been wiped out in one fell swoop!
The next thing Mal Caron has to do is count the loot!
The first is the captured pirates.
Including Pearson and others who were captured in the naval battle one day ago, at this time, the Idar Navy is holding nearly 200 pirate prisoners!
However, not all of these prisoners will be sent to Idar!
According to the plans and arrangements Bruno made before the expedition, after the victory of the war, Captain Jack will become the new boss of the Coral Island Pirates with the support of the Idar Territory!
And as the agent of Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar, he assisted the Idar Territory in supervising and controlling the waters around the coral island and Kelvin Prato's original sphere of influence.
Therefore, in order for Captain Jack to achieve this goal as soon as possible, Captain Jack will select a large number of pirates who look relatively pleasing to the eye among the nearly 200 captured pirates. As for the other pirates...especially those with
The pirates led by Pearson who attacked the Idar Territory will be sent to the Idar Territory for trial!
However, these pirates are obviously not the only prisoners of the Idar people.
Since pirates have been plundering people in the coastal areas of the Kingdom of Basel for many years, there are a large number of serfs and civilians who have been forcibly taken away by pirates on the coral islands.
Their number is even as high as four to five hundred!
Looking at the civilians and serfs with frightened eyes and trembling bodies, Mal Caron felt dizzy.
It's true that he is Idar's general, but he really doesn't know what to do with these innocent civilians.
After all...the only ship used by the Idar navy was this three-masted sailing ship, and there was no way to transport these innocent civilians to the Idar territory at once.
Moreover, the Idar people did not expect that there would be so many civilians and serfs on the coral island, so they did not make any plans or arrangements in advance.
"If your Excellency doesn't have any good plan to deal with these serfs and civilians... why not let them stay on the coral island for now."
At this moment, Captain Jack suddenly said: "After the fierce battle last night, both the buildings and the port on the coral island were seriously damaged. It is better to let them stay here first and help the villain repair many buildings on the coral island."
"You should be aware of Idar Territory's policy towards serfs and civilians, right?" Mal Caron said in a deep voice.
"The villain understands!" Captain Jack quickly assured: "The villain must follow Master Bruno's will! These civilians and serfs will not be allowed to live in the same fear as before!"
Hearing this, Mal Caron nodded. Until there is no more suitable place to go, I am afraid these serfs can only continue to live on the coral island.
In addition to prisoners, the biggest trophy captured by Idar soldiers was money!
In addition to coming from the coastal areas of the Kingdom of Basel, most of the money pirates robbed actually came from the few passing merchant ships.
Although the number of merchant ships is not large, and they generally employ a large number of sailors and mercenaries, this means that once a merchant ship is successfully robbed, it is enough for the pirates to make a lot of money.
In addition, there was no place to spend money on the coral island, so under the leadership of Captain Jack, Mal Cullen dug out thousands of gold coins in the cellar of Kelvin's small castle!
This can be regarded as a windfall for Idar Territory!
At least, it is not a problem to make up for the previous cost of building a three-masted warship.
Of course, this battle not only gained the Idar Territory in terms of population and money, but most importantly, the Idar Territory successfully gained an overseas fulcrum!
The geographical location of the coral island means that the Idar Territory will have a naval base located in the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Basel from now on!
And this is particularly critical to the expansion strategy of Idar Territory!
What's more, the pirate ship anchored in the port, led by Captain Jack, will become the first nail of the Idar Territory in the ocean! Blocking the rest of the Basel pirates from the Idar Territory!
