Leaving the pirates aside was not an option, so the veteran soldiers promptly brought them back, and it was also the perfect opportunity to ask for a few helpers.
"Captain..."
"Becca Reyes!"
While the two were conversing, suddenly a buzz of whispers rose around them.
The two exchanged glances, and before they could fully comprehend, they heard a warning voice from behind—
"Nobody move!"
The accented Eastlandian was not clearly articulated, but everyone present heard it loud and clear.
In an instant, everyone’s gaze shifted towards the source of the voice, and at the same time, they raised their guns.
Quickly, they saw three people: two foreign strongmen standing at the back, while Becca Reyes, dressed in military attire, was pushed to the front with her hands bound. The captors clearly intended to use Becca Reyes as a target.
Yet, compared to the tension of Becca Reyes being captured, another confusion emerged in their minds.
When they had ambushed earlier, they had only seen ten pirates.
Here, including the pirates captured and those killed, there were already nine. It wouldn’t be surprising if one person had captured Becca Reyes, but—
Where did these two pirates come from?!
They had never seen these two men before in their memory!
"What do you want?"
Knowing that some of them understood Eastlandian, Ella Pemberton didn’t waste time seeking Flossie Wright for translation but directly asked the two pirates opposite them.
"Release them all!" The pirate holding the gun to Becca Reyes’ temple glared menacingly at them. Seeing no movement from their side, he immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Do it now!"
Ella Pemberton frowned tightly.
No matter how much she had calculated, she hadn’t expected that a soldier would be captured on this side.
Becca Reyes, under threat, fixed her gaze on Ella Pemberton. She couldn’t speak, but she could still hint to Ella Pemberton.
Her eyes moved left and right, clearly indicating a negative.
Even if it meant sacrificing herself, they couldn’t let the pirates succeed!
Ella Pemberton understood, and the others present mostly got it too. Yet, not a single person let down their guard or showed any intention of forsaking her.
How could they possibly abandon a comrade?!
"Report, the target is exposed."
In Ella Pemberton’s earpiece, Jessie Grain’s calm voice came through.
Ella Pemberton’s eyes sparkled as her suspended heart gradually calmed down. When she looked up again, she saw the two pirates hidden behind Becca Reyes.
Lifting her hand as if to cough, Ella Pemberton gave an order in a subdued voice, "Two people."
That meant Jessie Grain and Flossie Wright were to act together—if they found the chance, they should take action with those two pirates.
"Report!" After a hesitation, Jessie Grain spoke directly, "Flossie Wright isn’t here!"
At such a critical moment, concerning the safety of a comrade, there was no need to hide anything.
Ella Pemberton’s face stiffened.
Did they split up for the operation
Was she not nearby at all?!
Ella Pemberton didn’t know, and Jessie Grain didn’t have time to explain.
"Release them, do you hear me?!" The pirate shouted loudly out of the blue, his agitation and nervousness revealing themselves unabashedly in his yelling.
Everyone knew that the longer a hostage situation dragged on, the more disadvantageous it was for the pirates.
Who could predict whether an accident might happen?
"Don’t be agitated," maintaining her composure, Ella Pemberton carefully watched them, intentionally slowing down her tone, "Put down your weapons. We do not kill prisoners. Your other teams have been wiped out by us. Even if you manage to escape with hostages now, as long as you remain within Eastlandia’s national boundary, there will be no chance of getting away."
