Damn, I recarneted As A Judge in Fantasy World

Chapter: The Pirate Stronghold

The pirates' treatment of prisoners was extremely miserable.

Unless you were of noble birth, you were treated no better than a slave.

Of course, if you could afford to pay a large ransom, it was a different story.

But we had to go deep into Billygert's stronghold.

So, it would have been much more advantageous to just sell them off as slaves.

But when the situation actually arose, my thoughts changed a bit.

"Oh, should I just say I'll pay the ransom? These guys are way more serious than I thought."

All the way back to our base, we weren't offered even a drop of water.

The reason was told to us by our veteran helmsman.

"Probably to drain your strength until you get there. Sailors are rough as hell."

"But you still have to live."

"Male slaves are not that expensive. The spoils of this ship and its holds are worth much more. They probably won't care much if we die. It's a sad reality."

The upper-level Schultz staff who were arrested so far must have suffered a similar fate.

Of course, we were prepared for this situation.

Since the cabin was the only place to keep prisoners, emergency food supplies and weapons were hidden here and there in advance.

The pirates would expect a number of shabby prisoners, but twenty sound knights were expected to emerge.

After sailing like that for a few days, the ship finally felt like it was stopping.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes."

"Proceed as planned. Go for maximum siege."

"I will keep that in mind."

Step, step! Step, step!

Footsteps were heard outside, and soon the door opened wide.

"Come out! You fucking pigs!"

Phew!

The pirate's mouth, which had been shouting proudly, could no longer move.

That was because one of the knights who was hiding at the entrance had his throat slit.

The pirate who was about to come in next was startled and turned around, but he couldn't escape either.

I held my right hand out and summoned Hector the Punisher.

Wheaaaaaaaaa! Ppeuuck!

"Krrrrr!"

A warhammer shot out from the pile of loot and struck the pirate in the head.

The blow was so strong that the speed at which he fell was beyond imagination.

Woozikkun!

Because the planks on the cabin floor were broken and dented.

I went forward first.

Then, I easily subdued the pirates who were checking the pile of loot.

Just like the first one, I gave Hector the Punisher on the head.

Bam! Bam!

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

It was a rather rough attempt, but it was definitely effective.

One by one, they rolled their eyes in one room and passed out.

This way, we could subdue them sufficiently without killing them.

Even though they were pirates, I felt very uncomfortable with the idea of directly harming people.

Of course, there was no mercy in the hands of the knights behind me.

Slap! Push!

"Kill them all and take control of the deck!"

"Come at me, you rotten bastards!"

When a commotion arose on the anchored ship, pirates began to swarm in.

The shabby, plank-boarded dock was quickly filled to capacity.

Even though the number of enemies was much greater, it was bound to be difficult to enter the One Shot Hall.

This was because the narrow streets were blocked by knights.

But that doesn't mean they could set fire to it or sink the ship.

I haven't unloaded the loot yet.

There's no way I'd just blow a solid source of income that I hadn't seen in a long time.

They are people who commit crimes because they are blinded by the hope of making a fortune overnight.

Taking advantage of the commotion, I managed to infiltrate the hideout.

As we left the dock and looked around, the rugged terrain came into view.

Jutting reefs and swinging waterways.

That's why the Navy's power can't reach us.

If you are not familiar with the geography of this place, you will come here in vain and end up sinking.

It could truly be called a natural fortress.

I shook my head and went deeper inside.

The method of taking control of the pirate den was simple.

'We can isolate them completely by making them unable to steer the ship. Then we can beat them up one by one.'

Suddenly, Shuguri and Peltron came to mind.

Those guys could easily wreck the ship.

Unfortunately, this was a problem I had to solve myself.

Of course, it wasn't an incredibly difficult task.

"Tch!"

Whirlirik! Crackle!

Just throw Hector the Punisher at it and break the key.

If this was the case, the ship would never be able to set sail until it was repaired.

'Recall.'

Wheaaaaaaak! Chuck!

As the warhammer that had fallen into the water returned to my grasp, I performed dynamic movements again.

It's like playing an axe-throwing game.

Whirlirik! Whirlwind!

After repeating this several times, dozens of ships simply turned into large rafts. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

After finishing my work, I went straight into the hideout.

I encountered pirates occasionally, but they didn't seem to see me as anything strange.

I guess it was because I acted so confidently.

'There are so many people, how can you remember all their faces?'

Besides, I was dressed like a pirate captain, so it was inevitable that people would misunderstand me.

The size of the hideout was much larger than expected.

In terms of the number of docks, it was slightly more than Grand Cape.

"Just how big of a bunch of these guys are?"

Honestly, when I heard that the Billygert Pirates were only targeting the Schultz top, I thought to myself, it's nothing.

Even taking into account the special nature of the sea, the results were the same.

Because pirates were just robbers on ships.

But after seeing the hideout, my judgment changed.

'They are a much larger criminal group. They should not be regarded as mere bandits or brigands.'

Isn't that the case even with the prison spread out behind me?
