Raising Paladins

Episode 137. Pinas Revolution (5)

Carl and the others were meeting heads at Chief Mediel’s house.

“Now, this is the map of Harpy Island.”

Mediel unfolded a large leather map on the table.

Hapi Island is nestled in the middle of the Pinas Islands.

It is much larger than other islands and has abundant natural resources.

However, the harpy pirates strictly controlled the access of ordinary people in order not to share the island’s resources with the residents.

Thanks to this, it was very difficult to secure a map of Harpy Island.

Mediel completed a new map by drawing the information secretly scouted by Gillian and the militia on the old map he had obtained with a large sum of money.

Carl and the others were looking at the map now.

“If you go west from Harpy Island, you’ll find Ruin Island. They’re a large band of pirates, numbering up to a thousand, but most will fall for them when they find out that the ruined island where they hide their treasure has been taken by the militia. Those who would do anything for gold and silver would not stand still because their treasure chests were robbed. Henry Morgan will do whatever it takes to get it back. It’s a bonus to kill all the blind militia members.”

“Then it shouldn’t be difficult to meet Henry Morgan.”

Those were Tira’s words.

At that time, a man tied to the corner of the room laughed.

“Kuhuhh, wouldn’t that be the case?”

With one of his arms cut off and wrapped in bandages, he is Dranek.

It was the same pirate who had brought pirates to the island and tried to fight them, but was captured with his arm escaped by Carl.

Everyone looked at him, and Drenek continued with a triumphant look on his face.

“Even if all the pirates go to Treasure Island, you will never meet Henry Morgan. Everyone will die before then. Ha ha ha ha ha!”

As Hanson, who was nearby, got up and tried to punch him in the jaw, Carl raised his hand to stop Hanson.

“Keep talking.”

“hehehe, it’s me, since I’m captured and crippled, I’ll tell you. The true strength of the Harpy Pirates is not 1,000 pirates! There were a lot of them, but they’re small ones! What has real power is the 10-member harpy’s bodyguard. They are called ‘Wings of the Harpy’.”

“Harpy wings?”

“okay. They strengthened their bodies with special herbs from Hapi Island. They are different from normal humans in strength, speed, judgment, skill with weapons, and so on. They are strong enough to deal with more than 50 enemies alone. They only listen to the harpy’s orders. Even if all the pirates leave, they will stay by Harpy’s side until the end. hehehe.”

“Where are they?”

“It has its dwelling place in the deep jungle of Harpy Island. They don’t show up until the harpies call. Even the existence itself is known only to the highest-ranking leaders like me.”

“Right. Then it would be easier in many ways to get rid of them before meeting the harpies.”

“But you don’t know where they are. ha ha ha!”

Sreureung-!

Carl pulled out a steel sword lying around.

He said, looking at Dranek with emotionless, and perhaps even more frightening, eyes.

“Where are they? Tell me the exact location.”

“hahahaha! He must have been nervous to hear that he had an unexpected military force, priest! But I won’t tell you. Why do I have to tell you that you cut off my arm?”

Drenek, still smiling.

However, the moment I heard Carl’s next words, the laughter disappeared.

“If you don’t tell me, I’ll cut the other side too.”

“… … !”

Dranek’s face went pale.

Tira, Hanson, Crete, and the village chief Mediel were also quite surprised.

Carl did this occasionally to set the right example for the bad guys.

Those who had no room for rehabilitation, or who had committed too heinous crimes, would be punished resolutely and ruthlessly.

At that time, Carl’s appearance was very scary even for Tirana Hanson to see.

cook!

“Cheak!”

Carl plunged the tip of his sword into Dranek’s thigh without hesitation.

“I am familiar with the structure of the human body. There are several places in the human body that have a high probability of dying when stabbed with a sword. Thighs are one of them. There are many blood vessels in the inner thigh. If you’re unlucky enough to touch one of those thick blood vessels, you’ll die within 30 seconds of excessive bleeding.”

“Hey, crazy! Is it okay for a priest to do this?!”

“It’s okay for a pirate like you.”

Fu-wook!

“Quaaa!”

The sword of the sword gradually dug into the inner thigh.

Dranek, overcome with pain and terror, finally began to tell the truth.

“Ha, the harpy wings can be found if you go up the trail from the pier to the southeast! But it’s so deep in the jungle that I don’t know the exact location! All I know is that I have to follow the trail to the deep end!”

“Right.”

“Now, draw out your sword! hurry!”

“The questions are not over yet. Talk about their fighting style.”

“Bah, these guys don’t even have a method! They don’t need to learn any special tactics because each one of them is very strong! Every militia member who ever tried to assassinate a harpy is dead at their hands!”

“Okay, now explain where Henry Morgan is.”

Carl brought out a leather map and held it in front of Dranek’s eyes.

“Hey, here it is! He built a wooden fence at the highest point on Hapi Island. There’s a big cabin in the middle! That’s where the harpies live!”

“Thank you.”

Push!

“Keep it off!”

As Carl drew his sword, blood fountained from Drenek’s thighs.

Tira hurried over and bandaged her thigh.

“How much do you want to heal, Carl?”

“It hurts very much, but not enough to die.”

“yes.”

Whoa-!

Tira quickly healed the wound on the outside of her thigh with her divine power.

Drenek’s face was horribly distorted, and tears flowed.

“Cha, I’d rather just kill him… … please… … .”

“I can’t. Your wounds are nothing compared to the pain the people of the Pinas Islands have suffered.”

Carl turned his head towards Mediel.

“Looks like you’ve got all the information you need, so lock it up again. If left alone, the wounds will begin to fester and beg for help. At that time, let the residents decide whether he lives or dies.”

“I understand.”

As Mediel shouted, the men who had been waiting outside came in and dragged Dranek out.

Carl pointed to a map and explained the plan he had envisioned.

“First, wait for the militia led by Meisa and Jillian to fire a flare. When the signal comes, it means that the pirates have moved towards the ruined island, so we set off at that time. The forces in charge of the sigeon and internal revolution of Harpy Island will also start their movements at that time. Hanson and the elderly Creta can join them.”

“The troops secretly recruited from our island and other islands will also join them.”

At Mediel’s words, Carl nodded.

“Where are you going?”

“I will first find and remove the harpy wings. After that, we’ll bring other troops to join them. It will probably be around dawn.”

“If it goes as expected, it will be an air battle to attack Harpy Island’s barrier.”

“you’re right. Help Tyra if someone is injured in the rear. It will be a large-scale battle, so be careful not to be swept away by the troops.”

“yes.”

After the briefing of the operation.

Hanson looked at Carl.

“Carl, no matter how much Meisa and the militia lead out the ships and the pirates, there will be at least some troops left. Among them will be sentinels and pinnacles guarding the coastline. You have to penetrate them to get into Harpy Island, but what about that?”

“He has a plan too.”

***

“What did you just say? You want me to believe that?”

Harpy Island, Henry Morgan’s Cabin.

Henry Morgan growled at a trembling pirate on his knees in the middle.

The pirate was bleeding with a dagger stuck to his shoulder.

“Really! Oh, the priests have appeared! They’ve invaded the Ruined Isle, Harpy! It was with the militia!”

“How strong were you?”

It was a question from a leader who was grinding his teeth nearby.

“Both, well over a hundred people! They got on the boat and got washed up black!”

“sh*t… … .”

The angry leaders rose from their seats with curses.

They shouted and pointed at the kneeling pirate.

“Isn’t that why you sent troops to the ruined island coastline?! Even stone masons and crossbows were newly produced and handed out. What on earth were you doing to get hurt? Didn’t that happen while drinking again?!”

“Oh no! never! Everyone did as instructed!”

“But how could the island be taken away so helplessly!”

“As soon as we spotted the enemy through the telescope on the shore, the waiting troops boarded boats and went out. I also brought a loaded crossbow, of course! That, but… … .”

“But what?”

“Some girl did something unbelievable! He cut off all the crossbows flying by himself, then jumped up and jumped over the boats and boats our children were riding in and started a massacre!”

“Nonsense!”

Henry Morgan gritted his teeth.

“A boat floating on the sea at night is hard to see. But how do you get around it? Are you saying that she even had wings?”

“Muh, a bucket of water! After throwing a bucket of water into the sea, he stepped on the floating object and jumped! It was amazing!”

“That is absurd. Even if that was true, didn’t it mean that dozens of men with crossbows were beaten by just one woman?”

“That, that… … yes… … .”

“You assholes.”

Henry Morgan spat.

“So, where are you all now? Why did you come alone to report?”

“All those who were attacked by priests or jumped into the sea were swept away by the current… … .”

“Dead?”

“… … yes.”

“aaa!”

Henry Morgan finally gave a shout.

He shouted to the leaders around him.

“Go now! Go and guard the treasures! That’s military funding to invade the empire. If you lose, it’s over! You can bring troops and ships wherever you are. Go get the treasure, kill all the f*cking militia guys. Just Gillian, bring that bastard alive! I have to fry it in boiling oil in front of my eyes to get rid of my stomach!”

“Yes, Harpy!”

The leaders took their own weapons.

Henry Morgan called out again as they were about to leave.

“Send someone to bring Shigi-eon back!”

“Yes, but what about this bastard?”

The leadership pointed at the pirate, who was still terrified.

“What? He was the one who lost the pirates’ property because he neglected his vigilance. Take him and cut his throat.”

“All right. drag and go!”

“ah! harpy! save me! harpy! Please save me!”

Even while being dragged away, desperate cries for salvation continued.

Soon, the surroundings fell silent with the sound of metal being swung.

Then, a pirate jumped in.

“harpy! Sigeon is gone!”

“Disappear?! What are you talking about?!”

“It’s not just Sigian. The guys who were usually friendly with Shigi-eon also disappeared. There is something strange about the atmosphere.”

“It’s great… … Okay, let’s go.”

After the pirate left with the news.

Henry Morgan picked up a large ax that was slanted across the wall.

“Maybe I’ll have to see some blood tonight.”

His eyes shone grimly.
