Lippa was originally skeptical of the lieutenant commander's words. After all, the things he said were too frightening, and he was against Berroumebé using such cruel torture to interrogate some Marines and officers. But now, seeing the result made him feel a chill down his spine.
It wasn't because there were any clues in the interrogation, but because there were no clues at all. That's why he felt the viciousness hidden in it.
It was normal for them to confess under torture and make false accusations. However, the people being interrogated seemed to have turned into iron bones. What kind of magic potion did First Lieutenant Arlen feed them to the point that they weren't even afraid of death?
Tanner fainted because of the severe pain. Berroumebé held the knife in his hand. He was horrified, but at the same time, he became more ferocious and cruel. He picked up a bucket of seawater and splashed it on Tanner's body.
"Ah … …"
His whole body was burning with pain. He felt his head was hot, and there seemed to be double images and hallucinations in front of his eyes. He opened his mouth and said: "I swear to use the rest of my life to defend the flag of the Freemasonry … …"
"Freemasonry!"
Berroumebé's pupils shrank. At the same time, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open. The lieutenant commander rushed in and said in a cold voice: "There's progress!"
In another office.
A few Marines looked at each other and then looked away. They looked at Berroumebé and gritted their teeth: "I reported one of my roommates as suspicious. I saw him sneaking out at night. At that time, he was hiding a mask in his arms."
"Me too. I saw two Marines sneaking around an abandoned warehouse. They seemed to be hiding something. I was curious. After they left, I found two strange masks."
"I am a new Marine soldier. I was originally a member of the Brotherhood. Lieutenant Yarlin and the leader made a deal. The members of the Brotherhood joined the Marine with the intention of subverting the rule of the Naval Branch. But I didn't expect that many brothers would betray the Brotherhood and completely gather under Lieutenant Yarlin. They used the excuse of eliminating pirates to complete a bloody purge of many dissatisfied brothers … It was Lieutenant Yarlin who deceived us. I know that Lieutenant Berroumebé was also deceived by Lieutenant Yarlin. So, I am willing to secretly contact those brothers who pretended to submit to Lieutenant Yarlin but were actually dissatisfied."
Berroumebé listened and looked at the faces of several informants. After confirming that they were not lying, he said in a deep voice: "You did a good job. As long as Lieutenant Yarlin is eradicated, there will be a vacant position for you in the Naval Branch."
The informers' faces immediately showed unconcealable joy.
… … ….
Colorful Stone Island.
In the scorched ruins of the town, there were still many traces of burning, but the streets had been cleaned up. Repainting work could be seen everywhere around the square buildings of different heights. The town was still somewhat deserted and depressed, but the quarry at the back had begun to operate again.
A large number of workers and captives from the Tiago Merchant Guild were under the supervision of Lombardi and the others. They worked overtime to excavate the colored stones, and then they were all transported to the docks and piled up in the open air into small mountains.
Looking at the sea from the position of the hill, one could see a pirate ship faintly patrolling back and forth in the fog. The Red Skull pirate flag was swaying back and forth in the wind. William's arm was wrapped in a red silk scarf, and he was laughing and playing with the surrounding pirates.
"There are Warships!"
A pirate exclaimed.
The pirate ship suddenly quieted down. William raised his binoculars and saw that in the sea ahead, two parallel Warships appeared in his field of vision. The dark blue hull, the Navy flag fluttered high, and under the pale seagulls were dense muzzles. One could vaguely see the blurred Navy neatly arranged on both sides of the ship.
Because of the fog that shrouded the sea near Colorful Stone Island all year round, the visibility was very low. It was not until the Warships were very close that the Red Skull Pirates reacted. At this time, it was very difficult to escape. Most of the pirate ships were far inferior to the Warships.
"Reporting to Captain, the whole ship is on alert!"
William shouted angrily. In fact, he didn't need to give orders. The pirates had all grasped the weapons in their hands, and their foreheads were sweating because of tension. They all held their breath and stared at the rapidly approaching Warships.
On the Warships.
Kabba turned to Yarlin and said: "It's the Rhino Horn, the Red Skull Pirates."
"Flag signal, show your identity, don't scare them." Yarlin said faintly.
Soon, a messenger waved the flag in his hand and repeated the flag signal. On the opposite pirate ship, a pirate stared and said: "It's Navy Branch 153."
"It's Yarlin!" William breathed a long sigh of relief and his clenched fists suddenly relaxed. Except for Yarlin, he didn't think that there would be a Warship that would flag signal to the pirate ship instead of directly firing a cannonball.
Calci stood at the bow and looked at William with a dignified expression. When William nodded, his face relaxed a little, but he still kept the whole ship on alert and stared vigilantly at the approaching Warships.
As the warship approached, the sound of the waves hitting the surface of the sea could be seen. The disciplined navy soldiers on the side of the ship could even be seen, their bodies exuding an aura of iron and blood.
"Don't give the order to attack?" Gagou looked at Yarlin with some doubts, waiting for the next order.
"No, the Red Skull Pirates will be the dogs domesticated by our Navy Branch 153." Yarlin said to Gagou with his hands behind his back.
Gagou showed a thoughtful expression. He felt that the deeper he got in touch with Yarlin, the more unfathomable he felt. Fortunately, he was never a person who liked to get to the bottom of things. He just followed Lieutenant Yarlin's orders. After many incidents, he had almost blind confidence in Yarlin.
The Warships were slowly decelerating. The huge hull was close to the Rhino Horn. Separated by a distance of five meters, the Marines and the pirates were facing each other across the side of the ship.
The neat and strict Marine formation and the bloodthirsty pirates were in a quiet and strange confrontation.
It wasn't until the two rows of Marine soldiers separated a small gap and a tall figure slowly walked out, revealing his true face that the suspended heart of Captain Calci of the Red Skull Pirates completely fell back into his stomach.
