“You xie*è heretic, damned executioner, we will never compromise with you! Your only end will be to be hanged on the cross and then devoured by crows!”

Fang Senyan sneered. At this time, noisy shouts, curses, fighting sounds, and intense gunfire also came from across the cabin. Soon, the deck of the ship was once again stained red with splattered fresh blood, dripping down the edges into the sea. At first, it was in large patches, gradually extending for dozens of meters before diminishing and disappearing!

Soon, this riot was suppressed again. Only about fifty surviving sailors remained, their faces revealing a numb, unfeeling, and sorrowful expression. They could only listlessly raise their hands to cover their heads and be surrounded.

Fang Senyan walked out of the cabin with a very cold expression and issued his first order:

“Bring all the officers among them up here!”

At this time, the sailors had a strict and clear hierarchy, easily distinguishable by the quality of their clothing. Immediately, the pirates acted. Canby led people to capture all eight officers of lieutenant rank and above, lining them up and tying them tightly to the ship's railing.

In front of all the prisoners, Fang Senyan grabbed a sailor, handed him a somewhat dull dinner knife, and said very seriously:

“Go, stab the officer in front of you.”

The sailor's hand trembled violently. Suddenly, his eyes turned to hatred, and he roared, slashing the dinner knife at Fang Senyan's neck.

Fang Senyan punched him in the face, knocking the sailor to the deck, then stomped on him with force! Amidst the ear-piercing sound of bone cracking, the sailor spurted out a large amount of blood like an orange crushed by a wheel, and his entire chest collapsed!

Obviously, he wouldn't survive. This cruel scene silenced not only the British sailors but even the fierce pirates, cold sweat breaking out on their backs.

Then, Fang Senyan picked up the blood-stained dinner knife, grabbed another sailor, and said in the same calm tone as if saying "Have you eaten yet?":

“Go, stab this officer in front of you.”

The sailor opened his mouth wide and approached the lieutenant in front of him step by step. The lieutenant simply closed his eyes, but the sailor suddenly knelt on the ground, covering his face and crying:

“No, I can’t!!!”

Fang Senyan nimbly pulled out the Wild Ambition and shot him in the back of the head! Then, amidst the blood and gore, he coldly said:

“Next.”

At this time, everyone knew what Fang Senyan was going to do. The bound officers struggled frantically, cursing with the most vicious language, and even the soldiers stirred. However, this commotion was quelled by Mogansha with three clean headshots.

Fang Senyan said indifferently:

“Gentlemen, I have tried my best to ensure your rights as prisoners of war with gentlemanly demeanor, but your reward for my tolerance and benevolence is to blow me to pieces. Well, I admit that I am a very vengeful bastard with a petty mind, so I can only repay you with more cruel methods!”

Soon, the third British soldier prisoner was brought up, gripping the blood-stained dinner knife. Because of the previous two examples, this guy seemed to move very nimbly, but before acting, he turned his head in horror and quickly said to Fang Senyan:

“Sir, I have only one question, only one. You will give me a chance to ask this question, won't you?”

Fang Senyan reached out and made a gesture to speak.

The prisoner said:

“Am I obliged to leave a deep wound on the Lieutenant Phillip you designated, or is it okay to stab the other seven gentlemen? This is very important to me, because if I stab the kind Lieutenant Phillip, I might feel guilty and have trouble sleeping for months. But if I can freely choose my target, then I can live the rest of my life in peace.”

Fang Senyan said lightly:

“You have the right to choose freely, sir.”

The prisoner bowed and said:

“Thank you for granting me this right, sir.”

The prisoner then walked to the fattest lieutenant and stabbed the dinner knife into his stomach very nimbly. Then, amidst the fat lieutenant's miserable screams, he satisfyingly twisted the knife before pulling it out and walking to Fang Senyan to return it.

Fang Senyan had already pulled out a stool and sat on it casually. He said straightforwardly:

“Welcome to join the pirates, murderer.”

The prisoner sighed and silently stood behind Canby, who had a threatening look in his eyes. Yes, he had personally stabbed his officer. For him, without any background, this stab had seriously violated British law, and his only fate was the gallows or life imprisonment.

Therefore, in fact, he had no other way out but to join the pirates.

“Next,” Fang Senyan's cold voice rang out again.

The "certificate of allegiance" ceremony was carried out very quickly. Later, three numb and sluggish sailors simultaneously went up to stab their former officers.

Of course, there were also people who resisted, but the only end to resistance was death! To Fang Senyan's surprise, one of the eight officers actually survived. It was Lieutenant Phillip. None of the soldiers had acted against him, which was enough to show that this person had a high reputation.

Faced with this situation, Fang Senyan simply cut Phillip's ropes, then stuffed the bloody dinner knife into his hand and said lightly:

“If you want to die, use this knife to slit your throat. If you want to live, then slit the throats of those seven people!”

Phillip stayed in place for a while. He looked at Fang Senyan with a sneering and sarcastic gaze, and it was estimated that his next move would be to slit his own throat. Fang Senyan said coldly:

“Lieutenant, if I'm not mistaken, you have a high reputation among these sailors. So even if you don't want to live, you have to think about them.”

Phillip, who was ready to die, suddenly turned his head and moved his dry, cracked lips with difficulty, asking doubtfully:

“What do you mean by that?”

Fang Senyan said lightly:

“You are a smart man. I won't say any empty words. I am very short of manpower now, so I will definitely want you sailors who have stained your own people's blood to go to the battlefield and charge in the front line. If you don't lead them, think about it, how many battles can these scattered guys survive? Even if you don't want your own life, can you ignore the lives of these soldiers who respect and love you?”

Phillip's eyes suddenly became sharp. He suddenly grabbed Fang Senyan's collar and roared:

“You demon, I just wanted to escape, I didn't participate in blowing up the ship!!!”

His actions immediately made the situation tense, but Fang Senyan slowly pried open his fingers one by one, then looked into his eyes and said word by word:

“I initially behaved very gentlemanly, so you repaid me with the intention of blowing me to pieces with goodwill. Well, I admit that what I did at the time was very stupid, so now I have to correct this bad habit.”

Phillip looked into Fang Senyan's eyes, but even with his eloquence, he couldn't say a word!! He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white, and his teeth gnashed. The man slowly lowered his head, and after a long while, he squeezed out two words from his teeth:

“Okay! I'll do it.”

Phillip snatched the knife from Fang Senyan's hand and didn't say any more nonsense. Instead, he silently slit the throats of those seven colleagues who were either not dead or were lingering on their last breath. Then, he bowed slightly and handed the knife to Fang Senyan, clearly stating his attitude.

Faced with the double test of life and death, emotion and loyalty, few people can pass this test! Although Fang Senyan's charm value is very low, his actions can directly touch people's hearts, using power and morality to make different people submit to him.

After Fang Senyan considered it, he scattered the forty-odd sailors among the pirates. Therefore, the number of people who could fight under him had risen to about one hundred and twenty (those with combat power. If the wounded are added, there are one hundred and fifty people). Fang Senyan himself led sixty people, Canby, who had a high reputation among the pirates, led thirty people, and Phillip was unexpectedly favored by Fang Senyan and entrusted with the important task of leading thirty people.

After the rebellion had settled down, Fang Senyan's original attack plan had to be postponed again, at least until Phillip and Canby were familiar with their subordinates. At the same time, the corpses had to be thrown into the sea, and the deck had to be washed again.

Just as the pirates were carrying the corpses away, Fang Senyan suddenly noticed that a strange light was also flashing in the pocket of the clothes of a British sailor lieutenant who had been stabbed to death by his subordinates. The light was very similar to the figurehead found before. He picked it up and a series of prompts immediately appeared:

“You have discovered a corpse that appears to have magical power.”

“Do you want to use the pirate captain’s privilege to engage in privateering?”

“You have discovered a magical item: Brass Telescope.”
