If it had been before, as a mercenary, Flossie Wright had countless methods to force a confession and could have pried the news out in a matter of minutes.
She was now a soldier, and moreover, from Eastlandia.
Just as the pirate had said, not to kill prisoners. Flossie knew that within her team, there were many filled with righteousness who, upon discovering the torment the pirates endured, would not possibly disregard it.
The trouble she would attract would definitely be greater than disobeying a military order.
What a headache.
After dealing with that, Flossie snapped off a leaf, wiped the blood off her army knife, and then walked toward the next target.
The battle had already begun, and all the lurking pirates had basically revealed themselves, eliminating the need for Flossie to spend energy searching for them.
It’s just that—
She also needed to speed up her actions.
On the other side.
Becca Reyes dodged another charge from a pirate, retreated two steps back, and created some distance to catch her breath.
But, just during this gap, Becca realized that both of her hands had become numb from the shock.
In terms of skills, Becca may not be his match, or even have a slight upper hand, but the pirate was built like a bear, nearly two heads taller than Becca, and twice her size. The force he wielded was something Becca could barely block with all her might, but if the fight continued, she was sure her hands would be rendered useless.
A thought flashed through her mind, and Becca made up her mind not to clash head-on with him any longer.
Therefore—
When the pirate charged at her once more with a machete, Becca made a snap decision and turned to flee.
To hell with it!
The farther she could run, the better!
Her life was what mattered the most!
With various reasons flashing through her mind, Becca ran like mad, her speed whipping up the wind beneath her feet, even catching the pirate by surprise.
This escape speed... was a bit too fast, wasn’t it?!
The pirate was momentarily astonished, then seemed to be overcome by rage, forgetting everything else, and picked up his knife to chase after the swiftly fleeing female soldier.
All his brothers were dead; if these soldiers hadn’t seen blood yet, it would be too embarrassing!
But what infuriated him even more was that Becca wasn’t running in a straight line, but in a "Z" pattern, skillfully weaving through the bushes to such an extent that just when the pirate was about to grab a piece of her clothing, he had to pause and change direction, and by the time he resumed the chase, Becca had already run several meters away.
This was an extremely physically demanding strategy. Becca had only been running for a few minutes and was already gasping for breath.
Taking a glance back in her spare time and seeing the increasing distance, Becca raised an eyebrow.
This distance was enough!
After catching her breath, Becca quickly moved to the side, drew the gun from her waistband, turned off the safety, and aimed at the pirate’s head.
The clueless pirate, still pausing from the turn, didn’t realize death was quietly approaching.
"Bang bang bang bang bang—"
The gunshots rang out without a pause.
Becca pulled the trigger as quickly as possible; after the first few shots hit the pirate’s body, the last one finally aimed at his head.
The bullet went through his forehead— the pirate, who still had some life in him, finally fell silent after this shot, crashing heavily to the ground.
As for Becca, who had fired the shots in frenzy, it wasn’t until she had emptied the gun’s magazine and confirmed that the pirate lay motionless on the ground that she belatedly realized what she had done.
This was her first time firing at a real person. It was inevitable that she felt some nerves and anxiety, but thankfully, the psychological endurance she had built up over time was sufficient, and she wasn’t so frightened as to become weak-kneed.
