Infinite Movie World

Chapter 455 James

After transferring the shadow energy points to Iron Hammer, Snow Empress finally put on the Wave Shock Bracers.

Although there are always "small frictions" between her and the hammer, she still strictly abides by the system set by herself when it comes to equipment items.

After all the shadow energy points are divided, put on the equipment.

This made Xufeng greatly appreciate it.

Whether two friends can stay together for a long time depends on the relationship between the two people, but whether a team can go far depends on the system and the determination to implement the system.

The Snow Empress team has both strength and emotion, both a system and the determination to implement the system. How can such a team not go far?

Although they are not a guild, just a five-member team, and one of them is pure waste, but in some respects, they are stronger than a large guild.

Xufeng handed over [-] gold coins to Tie Hammer, and let Xue Di and Lin Hai stay to share the complicated work of Tie Hammer in the early stage.

As for the matter of accompanying Tia Doma to the South China Sea to find Xiao Feng, naturally leave it to Xufeng.

"Can you do it by yourself?" Xue Di asked blankly.

Xufeng said with a smile: "No problem, Xiao Feng is from Tang Dynasty, so it is easy to communicate with. Besides, your side is the most important thing. It is better to build the submarine earlier than anything else."

Xuedi nodded, "Well, be careful yourself."

"Well, you too." Xufeng smiled at Xuedi.

Xue Di averted his eyes for an instant.

Xufeng bid farewell to Hammer and Lin Hai again, then got up and went back to the hotel.

After half a day of rest and preparation, a merchant ship loaded with food and fresh water set off from Cayenne Port to the Cape of Good Hope, to the Indian Ocean, and then to Malacca...

And at this time, in Port Royal, a massacre was going on in an extremely quiet manner.

Admiral James Norrington, the newly promoted commander, was the commander of this "massacre".

Wearing a clean military uniform, he stood by the gallows, looking coldly at those who were queuing up to the gallows.

These people are all dressed in rags, there are men, women, old people, and children of seven or eight years old...

According to Lord Beckett's order, anyone who has anything to do with the pirates will be executed.

This is to completely eliminate the threat of pirates in this world.

James didn't know if it was right to do so. He could only carry out Lord Beckett's orders. He was able to recover from a beggar to his current status and control twelve warships, all thanks to Lord Beckett.

Of course, the premise is that he is a useful person to Lord Beckett.

He got the heart of Davy Jones for Beckett, so in exchange for all this, of course, this is also at the price of betraying Captain Jack.

But... Jack is a pirate!

What's wrong with betraying a pirate?

James comforted himself countless times in his heart, but he knew that in terms of fighting pirates as a navy, he could say that he was right, but in terms of a person's conscience, he was always uneasy.

He was originally not good at words, and he always had a poker face every day, and after experiencing this incident, he couldn't see a smile on his face anymore.

Sometimes, he felt that the days when he was stranded on Tortuga Island, drinking and fighting with pirates every day were the happiest days in his life.

He used to think that those days were the days when he was walking dead, but looking at the people waiting to be hanged in front of him, he couldn't do anything, he could only carry out Beckett's orders mechanically and ruthlessly. The Walking Dead.

These people waiting to be hanged are all people who "colluded" with the pirates.

The fish seller once sold fish to the port of Tortuga, and the clothes made by the tailor were also bought by pirates.

None of them had done any evil, and they would be sentenced to death just because they were related and involved with pirates.

He saw a boy of seven or eight years old standing in front of the gallows, his head could not reach the ropes.

Why is this boy?
Was it because he had once played in the same street as the pirate's children?

The law shouldn't be like this.

The law should not be a tool to be manipulated under the pretext of justice.

But that's what happened.

James didn't ask what crime the boy committed, because he knew that even if he asked, he couldn't change the boy's fate.

He can't even control his own destiny, how can he control others'?
He looked away from the boy, hoping only that the execution would be over soon.

The little boy was carried by the executioner to a barrel so that his neck could be wrapped in the nooses of the gallows.

As the adjutant began to read their charges, the boy produced a silver coin and rubbed it in his hand.

He opened his mouth and slowly sang the pirate song "Raise the Flag".

The sad melody echoed in everyone's heart, even James couldn't help but have a sore nose.

Lord Beckett, who was standing in the Governor's Mansion, listened to the pirate ship song, with an increasingly indifferent expression on his face.

"...Report, my lord, these criminals have begun to sing." A guard rushed in to report.

Beckett said lightly, "I'm not deaf."

The guard looked embarrassed, "My lord, what should we do? Please give instructions!"

Beckett said lightly: "Didn't I hand over the execution of the death penalty to Commander-in-Chief James? Just let him handle it."

"...But, Lord James doesn't seem to want to stop it. Now, all the criminals are singing in chorus!"

"Then, has the hanging ceased?"

"That's not true," replied the guard.

"There is no problem." Beckett said lightly, "After all the criminals have been executed, let Lord James come to see me."

"...Yes!" The guard saluted, turned and left.

Hangings lasted from noon to night.

Batch after batch of unarmed "criminals" were led to the gallows, and then hanged on the gallows.

The car containing the corpses could no longer be loaded. The corpses, regardless of gender, age or age, were all piled up like garbage, waiting for their families to claim them or bury them together.

Throughout the execution process, James stood motionless like a puppet, not even saying a single word.

He wished he was really a puppet, but unfortunately, he wasn't.

He mechanically turned around and wanted to leave, but at this moment Beckett's guards ran up to him and repeated Beckett's order.

"Got it." James said hoarsely.

He didn't say a word all afternoon, but his vocal cords were hoarse as if he had roared countless times.

He took a step forward and walked towards the command post in Port Royal.

Not so long ago, that was his headquarters, but now, he's just a puppet doing the dirty work.
