Chapter 238

At the same time.

Gart's gaze settled on Lu En and Luqi, and he could not help clicking his tongue in wonder: "Two little brats, yet you possess no small strength."

"Are you interested…"

"In joining our Sword Lion Pirate Crew? I can give each of you a position as an officer."

When the words fell.

Luqi snorted coldly: "In your dreams!"

"Then that's truly a pity."

"It seems I just have to kill every last one of you!"

Gart revealed a smile brimming with killing intent.

"Want to kill me? Then you'll have to pay a painful price!"

Luqi said.

"A painful price? Not necessarily."

Gart, wearing a meaningful expression, gazed deeply at Luqi.

Then,

He gave an order to the subordinates beside him: "You few, go release all those prisoners."

"Uh…"

Several pirates were dumbfounded, faces blank with confusion.

Huh?

What does that mean?

The boss wants to release that group of prisoners?

Those were prisoners they had only captured after great difficulty.

Moreover, this group of prisoners had a great use!

They were capital for threatening the Rosede Kingdom!

At this moment.

Just like that, release this group of prisoners for nothing?

Are you crazy?

"B-boss, isn't doing this a bit inappropriate?"

A pirate asked weakly.

"Who said I was releasing that group of prisoners?"

"What daddy means is…"

"Release that group of prisoners for now, let your men hide among the crowd of prisoners. Then, have this group of prisoners charge at those two little brats."

"This way, I don't believe those two little brats would dare lay a hand on that group of prisoners."

"Even if they dare to act, I can also enjoy a show of them killing each other."

"Isn't this… quite interesting?"

Gart revealed a maliciously playful smile.

Hearing this,

Several pirate officers suddenly understood.

So that's how it is.

They had thought.

Their own boss Gart was going to release that group of prisoners.

But they hadn't expected…

This was merely a vicious scheme deployed against those two little brats!

Using this group of prisoners as human shields…

Then,

Order everyone to follow behind the prisoners and launch an indiscriminate attack on those two little brats.

This way.

Those two little brats would surely have reservations in their hearts, and would not dare act rashly against this group of prisoners.

Instead…

They could act against those two little brats without any scruples.

"The boss's scheme is truly brilliant!"

"This way, we can greatly reduce our side's casualties."

"Perhaps…"

"We can even watch them kill each other."

Several officers revealed expressions of wild joy, their eyes full of anticipation.

Next,

Following their boss Gart's instructions, they hurriedly released all the group of prisoners locked in iron cages.

Then,

They arranged for a full thousand pirates to use this group of prisoners as human shields, slowly closing in on Lu En and Luqi step by step.

More than five hundred prisoners trembled in fear, pushed forward by the pirates behind them, their faces full of panic and anxiety as they gazed at Lu En and Luqi ahead.

Among them,

Including those dozen or so noble captives, their faces were also deathly pale, their once-gorgeous attire now filthy, their whole bodies trembling, their steps shaking.

"P-please don't kill us…"

A group of captives pleaded, looking at Lu En and Luqi.

They certainly knew.

They had already become these pirates' human shields!

"Brats, what will you do?"

"Kill off this group of captives?"

"Or let this group of captives become your burden?"

"I'm quite curious."

"What choice will you make!"

Seeing this, Gart, who was outside the field, revealed a smile full of malice.

He looked at Lu En and Luqi with a grin, continuing: "I'm very curious—do you want to keep these captives alive? Or do you want to keep yourselves alive?"

"If you don't kill this group of captives…"

"You will die!"

"If you kill this group of captives, you might still have a slim chance of escaping the scene alive."

·· ·········Request flowers··· ····

"In this situation, you're caught between a rock and a hard place."

"I'm very much looking forward to what astonishing choice you'll make when facing this kind of desperate situation."

"Wait and see!"

A group of pirates also revealed excited expressions one after another.

Pairs of eyes full of anticipation, curiosity, and cruelty all fixed on Lu En and Luqi.

"These two brats…"

"Will they actually make a move against this group of captives?"

"I bet they definitely won't dare!"

"After all, if this group of captives really suffers heavy casualties, then even if the two of them really manage to escape the scene, in the end they will inevitably die, inevitably unable to escape the severe punishment of Rosede IV."

"Want to place a bet?"

"If these two brats dare to open fire and slaughter that group of captives, then things will get a lot more interesting."

The many pirates were in high spirits.

At this moment.

Seeing the pirates using the captives as human shields and steadily closing in, Luqi's face darkened, his eyes filled with killing intent and fury, staring fixedly at the group of pirates behind the captives.
