Chapter 18 Interrogation of prisoners

Chapter 18 Interrogating the Captives
The news of the pirates being repelled spread right through Lakeheart Town, and the residents took to the streets and gathered towards the town center square to celebrate.

The next day, the Lord Earl ordered to hold a victory parade, the troops to the company as a unit to form a square, along the street in order to march into the square, in the square directly north of the temporary reviewing stand, Paul and Schroeder, Bryce, a group of high-ranking officers in the above review of the troops.

The troops on parade from west to east towards the reviewing stand, when passing the reviewing stand, the square formation in accordance with the orders of their respective officers instantly changed into a kicking front walk, the boys one by one with their heads held high, holding out their chests, their faces overflowing with pride but without losing their seriousness.

The onlookers were amazed, followed by waves of applause and cheers, the old knight on the reviewing stand also secretly nodded, this peculiar marching style really gives people a kind of forward momentum, the discipline and quality of the troops is reflected in no detail, even if he had served in the previous army, after a long time of training can not be done to this extent.

After the parade troops, followed by the pirates captured in the battle, unlike the flowers and applause, they are welcomed by rotten eggs and rotten leaves, because of them, the residents of the town of the heart of the lake in these days don’t mention how suffocating, not only out of the town to plant the land to work in fear, even the fishermen fishing in the lake don’t dare to be too far away from the shore.

Given the significance of this victory, in the afternoon of the day of the defeat of the pirates, Paul and a group of senior officers to develop a temporary reward and pension system, while the parade will be announced:
All the people who granted temporary rank were all regularized, and in accordance with the performance in this battle, those who died in combat were awarded first-class merit, those who were seriously wounded were awarded second-class merit, and the rest of the outstanding performance of nearly a hundred people were awarded third-class merit, and according to the level of merit, respectively, different material and monetary rewards were made.

For those who were killed in action and seriously wounded and disabled, their families could go to the lord’s mansion to receive a sum of 5 Aldo gold coins or other equivalent currency, which was quite a large sum of money for the civilian families in the Northwest Bay area.

……

“You sons of bitches nobles ……” The bound bearded man, his hands tied behind his back, struggled hard while cursing as he was brought into the hall, and two soldiers joined forces to hold him down on the ground.

“So, you’re the ‘great’ Quake I?” Paul looked at the defiant pirate leader with interest, in the previous battle, the bearded man was actually stomped out, stomped out, stomped out …… by the routed henchmen Just thinking about this, there is a feeling of great revenge ah.

“It is your grandfather ……”

“Let him speak cleanly.”

Slap slaps sounded in the hall, a soldier left and right, a moment of work Quirk s two cheeks were high and bulging.

“You …… you ……” The pirate leader’s curses trailed off.

“Give us all the information you know honestly. How many of you are there? How many things did you rob? Where are all the other pirates?”

“Beat me to death …… hiss …… I won’t reveal …… hiss …… a single bit.” Quake’s nose was so swollen that he couldn’t even speak properly.

“The bones are very hard, do you all have any way to pry his mouth open? “

The people involved in the interrogation brainstormed ways to fix him, and one after another, good shows were staged in the hall.

First, the whip, clip stick, then the tiger bench, chili water, water torture, served Quake a good meal. What? Still won’t talk? If the hard way didn’t work, then the soft way, tickling the crease, scratching the soles of the feet, one after another, were used on Quake.

“Uh! Ah! Uh …… hahaha …… hahaha …… ah …… oh!!!! Hahaha!!!”

Soft and hard by turns, the bearded Quake was thrown up to heaven for a while, and thrown to hell for a while.

“I move …… I move ……” After being tossed for half a day, Quake finally let go.

“Really toast to refuse to eat punishment wine, early to open the mouth is not nothing.” The little earl is just like the villain in the movie eerily hehehe strange smile.

“Soldiers, continue to interrogate the other captives in the cell, did you memorize the torture methods just now? Let’s see if their boss’s mouth is tough or these minions’.”

“Yes! Lord Earl.” The two soldiers saluted the just-implemented hand-raising salute, and went out with their fists pumping and a look of excitement. Paul laughed strangely for a while before turning to Quake and saying slowly, “So, great Lord Quake I, tell us everything you know, and if it conflicts with what your men say, we are always hospitable here in Lakewood, and you’ll be treated with even more fabulous ‘hospitality’ oh so much more. ”

The bearded pirate lying on the ground shivered as he listened.

……

After synthesizing all the pirates’ confessions, Lakewood finally figured out the enemy’s posture.

There were a total of three groups of pirates in this invasion.

The first strand was the Quake Gang that had just planted a big headache in Lakeheart Town.

The second is the Shark Gang, the head of this group of pirates is named Shark, and it is this group of pirates that ambushed Old Paul.

The third is just ashore “loach” Gaddon gang, is the battle of the gang played soy sauce suspicious people, saw the Quaker gang collective overturned, on the bottom of the foot quietly wiped oil slipped, also really afford the “loach” nickname.

Sharks gang first ashore, in the coastal area of the big robbery, after the luck of them defeated the old Gleeman to come to conquest, when they learned that the Gleeman family is only a small child, the flame more and more arrogant up, directly occupied the seaport town of Fulan, forcibly conscripted the local residents built fortifications, intends to long-term entrenchment.

Quake gang after the shore, the coastal area has let the shark gang rob almost, they will head inland, after looting some villages and towns, decided to do a big job, straight to the heart of the lake town, and then overturned the car.

As for the third wave of “loach” Gadsden gang, Quake only just met up with them, not much is known.

But what worries the people of Lakeville is that although these three groups of pirates are only small gangs, they are jointly affiliated with another powerful force – the giant pirates of the sea across the North Sea: Walker Edward.

Twenty years ago, Walker Edward’s sudden rise, and gradually annexed the North Sea on the sea of the size of the pirate gangs, screwed together into a rope of pirates so that the Lords of the Northwest Bay is a headache, they joined together to try to eliminate Edward.

But the process did not go well. Pirates come and go on the water, take guerrilla warfare method, erratic, the noble allies retreat, they will go ashore to attack, the main force of the allied forces, they will retreat back to the sea.

The nobles tried to build ships to the sea to eliminate, but the newly formed fleet is really not the rival of this group of sea old oil, successive failures.

Finally, the nobles could not afford it, the two sides negotiated, the Lords paid a large sum of money, considered to pay the protection fee, and set aside a piece of land along the coast (which has part of Paul’s family’s territory), so that the pirates come every few months to “resupply” a little bit, while Edward to restrain his pirate gangs, shall not be too deep inland, shall not enter the capital of each territory. Edward will restrain his pirate gangs from going too far inland and from entering the capitals of the various territories and their neighborhoods.

In this way, the Lords and pirates “peace and quiet” for twenty years, while the coast of the “supply land” is enduring the double exploitation of the nobles and pirates.

When Quake accounted to here, the earl of the Lord angry just picked up the cup of water a drop, “this bunch of son of a bitch nobles! A swear word exactly the same as Quake’s just now broke out. Not only was Quake, who was kneeling at the foot of the hall, stunned to hear it, the other people in the hall who were involved in the interrogation also looked at each other in disbelief.

The butler attached to Paul’s ear playfully reminded: “Cough …… Earl Lord please be careful what you say ah, at that time also involved in the negotiation of your grandfather Lord, at that time, most of the lords of the Northwest Bay agreed, including Gleiman, including a few although dissatisfied, but it can not play a role at all, but also can only agree to it. ”

Paul asked in a cold voice, “Oh, so, if it wasn’t for the pirates fishing over the line this time, would you all just continue to be out of sight, out of mind?”

The people in the hall listened to have bowed their heads, a time of terrible silence, only to hear the old knight Schroeder’s a sigh ……
