After Captain Richie finished his sigh, he turned to look at the sailors who had surrounded Lingdang and others, and said with a frosty face:
"Come here, take these sailors who neglected their duties away and subject them to waterboarding!"

The so-called water torture is to tie up a person with ropes and then throw him into the sea. When the person is about to drown, he will be lifted up, and before he can even catch his breath, he will be thrown into the sea again. This process will be repeated over and over again until the captain calls for a stop.

This cruel form of punishment will cause the prisoner to suffer greatly. The feeling of choking, suffocating and drowning will bring extreme pain to the person.

Even if you lose consciousness, the pain your body has to endure will not be reduced in the slightest.

Therefore, when sailing at sea, waterboarding is a form of punishment second only to the death penalty. Usually, sailors will only receive this punishment when they have committed serious faults.

Logically speaking, the charge of dereliction of duty was not enough for the sailors to accept this punishment, not to mention that the Firefly was now in a rest period and did not need to work.

The sailors all felt that Captain Richie's punishment was too harsh, but no one dared to object.

The reason is simple. On the mysterious sea, only an experienced captain can lead them back safely. Moreover, the captain also has magical beasts and can easily suppress crew members who do not obey orders.

So on the sea, the captain's orders are absolute.

What's more, the crime of dereliction of duty is not a small matter, nor a big one, and it all depends on the captain to decide.

Now the captain thinks the sailors should be punished, so they should accept the punishment.

So the other sailors stepped forward and held them without any hesitation.

The sailors who were held in the cage looked pale as death, but they did not dare to struggle. They could only look at Captain Richie with pleading eyes. They really did not understand what they had done wrong. Everyone was resting, so why were they the only ones being punished?

Richie didn't bother to explain to them. He just waved his hand and asked someone to take the sailors away.

The boatswain standing by shook his head helplessly when he saw this. Even though these sailors were his subordinates, he did not dare to plead for mercy.

It was because these sailors ignored his advice and insisted on getting close to the female nobles on the ship.

Even though they might not have any improper intentions, Captain Richie would never allow them to leave a bad impression on those female nobles.

Because in Captain Richie's opinion, the relationship between these female nobles and Ryan is not simple.

If they were dissatisfied with the sailors and mentioned it to Ryan casually, it would be very likely that Ryan would have a bad impression of Richie.

That's why Richie repeatedly emphasized that sailors were forbidden to approach the female nobles on the ship, but they still didn't listen, and they couldn't blame anyone for being punished.

If Ryan hadn't brought back two Dragonites, he could still say a few good words in front of Captain Richie and win the sailors' favor.

Unfortunately, there is no if. Now Ryan rides on Dragonite, controls the Scourge, and becomes the biggest supporter of the Firefly. In the future, their Firefly may be able to dominate the sea.

The boatswain trembled with excitement at the thought of this future scene.

Not to mention saying anything nice to the sailors, he actually wanted to punish them severely to teach them a lesson.

"Captain, I will personally supervise the execution and ensure that each of them receives the most severe punishment!" the boatswain asked Richie.

Richie glanced at the boatswain and nodded slightly:
"Well, go ahead and end the punishment when they realize their mistakes."

"Yes, sir!" the boatswain leaned forward and received the order.

He did not foolishly ask Richie what to do if the sailors did not realize their mistakes. The reason why he was able to sit in the position of boatswain and become Richie's confidant was because of his cleverness and ability to guess the captain's mind.

There were some things that Richie, as the captain, was not comfortable saying, but he had to know what to do.

Since the sailors cannot even recognize their own mistakes, it means that they are hopelessly stupid. Such people are not qualified to stay on the ship, so as to avoid causing trouble for the Firefly in the future.

Anyway, there is a chance of death during every water torture. It just depends on their luck.

Looking at the boatswain's departing back, Richie's face remained expressionless.

He was able to fight his way up from the lowest level of sailor, and his hands are already stained with blood.

He wouldn't care about the lives of a few sailors.

The boatswain thought he had guessed what he was thinking and volunteered to punish the sailors.

Little did they know that the sailors' courage to approach the female nobles was the result of his deliberate connivance.

Richie had already seen the sailors' actions in the captain's room, but he did not step forward to stop them.

Because he knew that the sailors were used to being lax, and even if they were expressly prohibited, they would not be able to resist approaching the female nobles. Only by killing the chicken to scare the monkeys could he truly deter them.

But to be honest, he had no intention of using waterboarding to punish the sailors. After all, no matter how high his prestige was, he had to take the other crew members' opinions into consideration, and he could not operate the entire ship by himself.

But when he saw Ryan bringing back two Dragonites, he decided to get rid of the brainless idiots on the ship and eliminate the hidden dangers on the ship.

"Those are two natural disaster beasts. One of them seems to be an elder of the Dragonite clan. In other words, Lord Ryan is very likely to be connected to the entire Dragonite clan!"

"You know, before, only the royal family was recognized by the Scourge tribe. Now there is another Baron Ryan. Doesn't this show..."

Captain Richie didn't dare to think further, but his fists clenched tightly.

If Baron Ryan really conquers the Dragonite tribe and has many brave and skilled knights under his command, then the overlord of this sea area will have to change to another force.

Guanhai City? Oh, they have a few natural disasters!

Thinking of this, Richie's eyes gradually became firm.

He must hold on to Ryan's thigh tightly. Even if there is a hint of leaving a bad impression on Ryan, he must completely extinguish it!

It was not enough to punish the sailors, he also had to please the knights on the ship.

But what bothered Richie was that he couldn't figure out what these noble knights were thinking.

Richie watched helplessly as a knight, soaking wet, floated up from the sea. Before he landed on the deck, he raised his head and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Lord Ryan, please don't leave. Didn't you notice that I wasn't on the boat just now? At least take me with you!"

"I don't want to call someone my godfather anymore. I want to go back and participate in activities!"

"My Lord! How can I live without you? Please take me away, my Lord!"

Richie listened to Xu Ruofeng's hoarse cries, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.

He had never seen a noble knight with such strange words and deeds. How could he please him?
Just as Ryan was rushing back with Eve, Feiyu Town had already entered a state of combat readiness.

Baron Williams no longer concealed the news, but informed everyone that Feiyu Town was about to face war.

At the same time, in order to stabilize the morale of the troops, he also revealed that the troops from Firefly Town would come to support, and made Secretary White's reply public.

Although this news boosted the morale of the army a little, the civilians still had no confidence in this war. There was no way, Feiyu Town had hardly won a war in the past two years, and it was normal for the civilians to have such thoughts.

The doors of every household in the town were closed, and the civilians hid in their homes trembling, praying that Feiyu Town could win the war.

They were well aware of the hatred between the two towns. If Yinye Town really conquered Feiyu Town, their fate would be extremely miserable.

Even the common people understand this truth, so the militia and knights of Feiyu Town must understand it.

Therefore, they all made up their minds to defend Feiyu Town and their homes to the death.

"It's already noon, and those damned bastards haven't made any move. I wonder if they don't dare to come."

The militiaman on the city wall stared ahead and whispered to his companions beside him.

"Why, do you really want them to attack us?" said his companion unhappily.

Upon hearing this, the militiaman glanced around in panic. Seeing that no one heard them, he breathed a sigh of relief and then hit his companion next to him hard.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just want to kill the enemy as quickly as possible."

"Don't worry, no one can hear us talking. I'm different from you. I would rather not go through this war. Unfortunately, judging from the serious expressions of the knights, this war is unavoidable." The militia's companion sighed.

"What are you afraid of? I think this war is our chance to turn the tide. Didn't you hear what the Lord said? As long as we can make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, we will have the opportunity to participate in knight training and become a knight master!"

The militiaman said this with excitement on his face, as if he had already seen the scene of him becoming a knight.

When his companion heard this, he curled his lips and said:
"It's easy to say. If we militia want to gain enough merit, we can only kill the knights of Silver Leaf Town. Do you think we have the ability to do that?"

"Moreover, the situation of the knights is very dangerous nowadays. A group of knights die in every war. It is said that some knight families do not want their family members to participate in knight training anymore."

When the militia heard what his companion said, he hesitated for a moment, and then said decisively:
"Then I also want to participate in knight training, tame my own monster, and let my family live a good life!"

After that, he whispered the news he had heard:
"Did you know that the militia of Firefly Town can actually subdue monsters?"

"What? That's impossible. Where did you get this information?" another militiaman said with his eyes wide open.

"That was said by the knight who delivered the letter to Firefly Town. I overheard him chatting with other knights this morning."

"You are so brave to eavesdrop on the conversation of the knights."

"Didn't I tell you that I heard it by accident? Besides, the point is not this, but that the militia of Firefly Town can tame the monsters. Their lord is so good!" said the militia with envy.

His companion nodded slightly: "The lord of Firefly Town is really good and is willing to send troops to support us. Without their support, I really don't have the confidence to stop the joint attack of the three towns."

"Yes, it would be great if he were our lord." The militia couldn't help but sigh.

"Be careful with your words! If you want to die, don't get me into trouble!"

"What are you afraid of? You're about to go into battle and kill the enemy. You don't even know if you can survive, so naturally you can say whatever you want to say."

"Then why are you speaking so quietly? Why don't you let the knights hear it too?" The militia's companion rolled his eyes.

"Hey, I just said it casually. Anyway, whether those bastards are coming or not, it's not a good idea to keep worrying about them."

"Who knows? The captain said they might launch an attack in the next two days. We should stay alert at all times. Who knows..."

The militiaman suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his speech.

"Maybe what?" The militiaman next to him didn't hear his companion's answer. Just as he was about to look up and ask, he saw his companion staring blankly ahead.

His heart sank, and then he shifted his gaze forward.

I saw smoke and dust billowing not far away, and a torrent of militiamen and knights was rushing towards Feiyu Town.

At the forefront of the flood were a large number of militiamen. Although they had no armor to protect their bodies, the weapons in their hands were very simple. Some militiamen even held sickles and dung forks.

But they were numerous, at least three or four hundred militiamen.

Apparently, Baron Soto brought out all the militiamen from Silver Leaf Town and also recruited some civilians who had not received militia training.

Behind the militia were the Silver Leaf Knights and their knightly attendants, the former all wearing silver armor and riding sturdy Thunder Zebras and Zebras.

The latter can only wear leather armor, and some followers do not even have their own magical beasts, so they can only travel on foot like the militia.

However, having received knight training, their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the militia. They are now driving the militia in front, forcing them to speed up their march.

In the center of the knight team are the three lords. Baron Bauer and Baron Karlov are riding their main monsters. Swampert and Tyrannical Panda both exude amazing momentum.

But their momentum is still weaker than that of the green figure in the middle.

Even the two lords on them cast fearful glances at the monster beside Soto.

They had heard before that when Baron Soto replaced the main monsters in his territory, he left behind a grass-attribute monster.

But they didn't expect this monster to be so powerful, and its momentum was even stronger than their main monster.

The key is that this monster is the extremely difficult Venusaur, which makes the two barons inevitably feel a little wary and cautious.

Soto also noticed the gazes of the other two lords, but he didn't care.

Seeing that they were about to reach Feiyu Town, he patted Bulbasaur's big head to slow it down.

The knights around saw that their lord had slowed down, and they all ordered their monsters to slow down.

The knights' followers also shouted loudly, asking the militia in front to change from running to walking.

The troops that were originally like a torrent suddenly turned into slowly moving chariots, but the sense of oppression did not decrease at all. Instead, it gained a bit of solemn and murderous momentum.

The militiaman on the city wall finally came to his senses after seeing this. He swallowed his saliva and was about to shout when his companion beside him started shouting:

"Enemy attack!!"

Not only his companions, but other militiamen also shouted.

"The bastards from Silver Leaf Town are here, get ready to fight!"

"Blow the warning horn!"

"Woo~"

With the sound of the horn, the war involving the five forces slowly began. (End of this chapter)
