With the death of the dragonborn pirate king, the remaining pirates completely lost their will to fight and no longer had any thoughts of resistance. The entire battlefield was filled with their fleeing figures.
But where could they run to on the surface of the sea? With the red dragon Onyx patrolling back and forth in the sky and a mutant tiger shark eyeing them covetously in the sea, these pirates had long since lost the chance to escape. In the end, these pirates could only throw down their weapons and surrender in order to survive.
The battle ended quickly, and Barbossa was already very familiar with cleaning up the battlefield and settling the captives. However, things were not over yet. After defeating the dragonborn pirate king, they still had to receive the spoils of war and retrieve Suhlen's goods.
Escorting the surrendered pirates and the captured pirate ships, the entire fleet had a total of 18 ships. They then majestically moved towards Shipwreck Harbour.
Seeing the fleet approaching, the pirates left behind in Shipwreck Harbour did not have the slightest thought of resisting and directly threw down their weapons and surrendered. As for those who wanted to resist, after seeing the red dragon hovering in the sky, they directly threw down their weapons and wanted to escape.
The appearance of the red dragon caused the entire Shipwreck Harbour to become chaotic. In almost all worlds, the red dragon represented disaster. Every time it appeared, it would be accompanied by a large amount of destruction. Almost every red dragon in the material world had robbed a city or a king. The mountain of wealth in the red dragon lair had basically come from this.
Moreover, there was still the Red Dragon Queen in the southern seas. She was the true ruler of the southern seas. Now that the red dragon had suddenly appeared here, could it be related to her? Many people with active minds were secretly wondering if she wanted to take control of this place as well.
Arriving at Shipwreck Harbour again, the feeling this time was particularly different. Suhlen looked at the flustered Shipwreck Harbour and frowned slightly. He then waved his hand, and Barbossa immediately led the soldiers of Deepwater City to start maintaining order.
Very quickly, under the influence of Barbossa and the navy of Deepwater City, the originally chaotic harbour was quickly restored to order.
"Where is Norland's lair?" Suhlen waved his hand, and several pirate leaders under the dragonborn pirate king Norland immediately stepped forward to answer.
"Your Grace, Norland's lair is in the crystal palace behind the harbour. Almost all of Norland's wealth is gathered there!"
"Send someone to load all the wealth onto the ship!" Suhlen said directly. He was here to rob. After defeating the Dragonborn Pirate King, Shipwreck Harbor was like a weak woman who had lost all ability to resist. It could only wail under the tyrannical Suhlen.
Suhlen did not show any mercy to these pirates. His fleet had almost been completely wiped out. He had spent so much time and effort to build the fleet, and after a few voyages, more than half of them had been killed by the pirates.
The pirates of this era were not like the Captain Jack in the movies and novels. These pirates could be said to be committing all kinds of crimes. Murder and arson were the most basic of their crimes. These pirates robbed and killed, forcing captives to jump off the deck into the sea was a common occurrence. It could be said that these pirates should all be hanged according to the law.
Under Suhlen's order, the soldiers of Deepwater City immediately began to collect the spoils of war. Suhlen and his men were not familiar with Shipwreck Harbor, but the pirate captives were.
These pirates were very skilled in treachery. They led the soldiers of Deepwater City to rummage through the city's wealth and send it to the ships docked at the harbour.
Apart from the pirates, the richest people in Shipwreck Harbor were the black market merchants. These people could be said to be extremely daring, selling their souls for profit. As long as there were benefits, these merchants dared to trade with the devil. All kinds of goods stolen by the pirates were sold by them, and each of them could be said to be overflowing with wealth.
Suhlen naturally did not intend to let these merchants go.
"Carlos, take your men and let these captives lead the way. Go and catch the black market merchants for me. Also, find out how much money these merchants have and bring it to me!" Su Lun said to a Marine Admiral who had just been promoted by him.
"Yes, Your Grace!" After saying that, he bowed and led a group of soldiers and a few surrendered pirates to capture the black market merchants.
Shipwreck Harbor was the largest port among the pirates, and the wealth here was astonishing. Soon, boxes of Kinnar were transported over.
"Your Grace, the wealth left behind by Norland is astonishing. According to our preliminary estimates, there are at least 1.5 million Kinnar, including a large number of gems, precious utensils, and so on. If all of them are converted, it's estimated to be more than 3 million Kinnar!" Barbossa said excitedly.
"3 million Kinnar!" Suhlen could not help but rub his hands. His northern city could be considered to be making a lot of money every day. Sugar, rum, paper, perfume, excellent weapons, and so on, all of these things added up to only a little more than a million Kinnar a year. After all kinds of expenses, there was not much left. He had only killed one pirate king, but there was actually so much wealth. Suhlen immediately wondered if he should kill the other pirate kings as well.
However, the other pirate kings did not provoke him. It would not be good to kill them directly. Moreover, these pirate kings also had other forces behind them. If he really did that, it was estimated that the entire southern waters would not do business with him. After thinking about it, Suhlen temporarily put aside this tempting idea.
"Load all these things onto the ship!" Suhlen said.
One or two million Kinnar were piled up like a small mountain, but the ship Suhlen brought could easily fit them.
"Norland is really a good person!" Looking at the wealth piled up in front of him, Suhlen kept sighing in his heart. In addition to the gold, Norland also sent a large number of pirate slaves, experience, and treasure chests to Suhlen. He was just like a child of wealth.
For such a child of wealth, Suhlen felt that the more the better. It was not easy to build a Floating-Space City. The cost of building a Floating-Space Tower had already cost tens of millions of Kinnar, and to build a Floating-Space City, it would cost at least billions of Kinnar. Fortunately, Suhlen's territory was rich in minerals, and many things could be mined on their own, which saved a lot of expenses.
A wizard tower was more than a million tons, and the Floating-Space City was at least ten times larger than the wizard tower. Its weight was at least hundreds of millions of tons. Even if such a behemoth was all made of ordinary steel, it would still be an amazing number if converted to Kinnar, not to mention that the main body of the city was obsidian.
