Chapter four hundred and sixty-ninth make the best use of things
"Alas, the pirates are getting more and more cowardly now. The new magic cannon we just made and processed only fired two rounds, and these guys surrendered!" A muscular dwarf with a beard almost hanging to the ground said with a look of regret.
They lost the energy gathered by the magic cannon in front of them, because their target had raised the white flag and surrendered.
"We are all pirates, why can't we be more tough like the last wave of pirates? Let's try the power of this new magic cannon." The human in charge of calibrating the launch also sighed with regret.
"I really want to experience the thrill of sinking a pirate ship one shot at a time. That feeling is really unforgettable!"
"It should be the reason why this greedy green dragon came with us. The dragon's intimidation power is too great, otherwise these pirates would have resisted."
"This greedy green-skinned lizard. According to the "Cloud Island War Management Regulations", at least one-tenth of the proceeds from our punishment of evil this time will belong to this green dragon. I am so unwilling to do so."
"There is nothing we can do about it. Who makes people dragons? They are a naturally privileged race." A cloud giant who was following the floating ship raised his head and said with a smile.
"Okay, get ready to work, stop talking nonsense," a half-elf wearing a triangular captain's hat shouted an order on the floating ship, "lower all the ropes on the ship and drag all three broken ships back.
."
After the pirate leader issued the surrender order and was the first to throw down his weapons and kneel down to surrender, all the pirates put down their weapons in a very savvy manner, followed suit, and maintained the most humble surrender posture.
Surrounded by the green dragons above their heads, the tidal giants floating from the sea, and the cloud giants descending from the sky, no pirates had any thoughts of fighting.
"I am just a pirate group that has just joined the ranks. There is no need for such a big battle." Looking at the giants around him and the dragons hovering in the air, the pirate captain Drake showed bitterness on his face.
His expression showed a trace of confusion about the future. He didn't know what these creatures planned to do with them?
Under the watchful eyes of many pirates, five floating ships stayed above the pirate ship. Nearly a hundred ropes were thrown from the floating ships and then hung onto the pirate ship by the giants.
Wow! The water surged, and the three lagging pirate ships were dragged up from the sea and carried by the powerful floating ship towards the location of Cloud Island.
"Great sea goddess, above, what is this?"
"I must be dreaming. How come there are so many cloud islands in the sea?"
"The ocean is always so beautiful and mysterious, you never know what you will encounter next moment."
As the floating ship was towed, the group of pirates who had become prisoners soon saw more than a hundred cloud islands surrounded by clouds and mist, distributed in layers, like a scattered pine cone.
The cloud island that only partially filled their field of vision greatly shocked the hearts of the pirates, causing them to involuntarily fall into emotions of panic, fear, admiration, and surprise, and use various behaviors to vent their emotions.
…
"Brother Muria, is this the prey you are talking about?" Remilia curiously looked at the three pirate ships being dragged back.
As soon as the ship landed, a group of winged gorillas rushed forward and drove off all the dirty pirates above.
"Well, the pirates who run rampant on the sea and rob passing caravans are one of my key targets. As long as I encounter them, I will not let them go."
"Brother, what are you going to do with these criminal pirates?" Remilia asked curiously. Since she has brought all these smelly pirates back, Muria must have no intention of killing them.
"Remilia, you know that I am a very kind-hearted being. Even these pirates who have committed many crimes and have committed unforgivable crimes, I intend to give them a chance to change their ways.
Here, they will have the opportunity to work for the rest of their lives to repay the sins they have committed." Muria explained to Remilia with a gentle smile.
"Wow, brother, you are so kind, just like the legendary sage." After hearing Muria's solution, Remilia's big eyes flashed and she praised innocently.
"Haha, I'm still far from the realm of a sage." Muria smiled sheepishly.
Muria did not kill these pirates mainly because he felt that killing was a waste of resources. Living creatures, no matter what, can create more value than dead creatures.
Just labor can create more value, which is a kind of human resource. And with one hundred and thirty-two cloud islands, there are many places that need to use people.
The alchemist needs mice to experiment with new medicines, the weapon refiner needs coolies to forge iron, the dragons need servants to serve them, the gathering place on Cloud Island needs sanitation workers to clean up the garbage, the drow elves need to meet...
"Brother Muria, if you put collars on these guys, aren't you afraid that they will resist and escape?" Remilia watched as the big monkeys with wings forcibly put collars on all the pirates, engraved with a few simple inscriptions.
collar, he suddenly asked curiously.
"Well, by wearing these collars, I can monitor their location at any time through the magic circle and determine their physical condition. And when necessary, I can use that collar to communicate with the magic circle arranged underground.
The resonance instantly increased the gravity around his body."
"Is that so? I think I know how to deal with the prisoners in the kingdom in the future." After hearing Muria's words, Remilia showed a thoughtful look on her face. She felt that she had benefited a lot from this.
"Prisoners who are sure to be controlled can do this. Those who are not absolutely sure to be suppressed, then kill them directly, otherwise they will be a hidden danger if they are kept." Muria reminded with a serious face, "As a king, try to do what is only under your absolute control."
When it comes to things going on, focus on stability and don’t take any risky or radical actions.”
"I know these." Hearing Muria's teaching words again, Remilia shook Muria's arm and acted coquettishly, "Brother, take me and have fun, don't tell me what I already know.
"
In the next seven days, Muria took Remilia to visit all the Cloud Islands. During this period, Muria also took Princess Luoli on a large-scale hunting activity - wiping out a super-large bandit.
The island murloc tribe destroyed a sacrificial temple belonging to the god of Kuo-tao murlocs and the evil god Bribodup, the mother of the sea.
