Chapter 2314 - 1637: Yes! Do It Right Away! Do It As Soon As We Dock!

"It truly is the Demon's East! So many veterans of martial arts, so many elites covered in the Holy War, either they died in the ocean's storms or fell in barbarian raids, even suffered stealth attacks from poison arrows and shootings from matchlock guns...tsk tsk! The opening of this new route is truly terrifying with bloodshed!"

"Alles hat seinen Preis! Everything has a price!"

At this moment, the Bavarian knight descendant, Mercenary Captain Reinhardt, stood at the bow with a wistful expression. Leaning on his longsword, he scanned the blood-stained deck and looked at the distant silent village, filled with more blood and corpses. How much slaughter and death had this expeditionary army brought in just six months, and how many had died themselves? This vibrant Eastern Islands, it's truly a graveyard where countless are buried!

"Mit Blut und Leben bezahlen wir den Preis für neue Horizonte. We pay the price with blood and life in exchange for new horizons."

"Neue Welt, alter Preis: Blut. New world, old price: blood."

"This is the life of a mercenary! Of course, besides blood, there's also money, so much more money!"

Reinhardt stood before Baltasar's corpse, his boots in the bloodied water, and murmured a few words. Only at this time could the serious philosophical mind of this Deutsch be glimpsed beneath the coarse mercenary exterior. After such painful casualties, reaching such distant and unfamiliar lands, he truly yearned to leave behind the dandelion-like drifting mercenary life and began longing for the tranquility of the Bavarian countryside.

Unfortunately, in the poor and difficult Bavarian countryside, faced with greedy lords, even greedier church priests, and the need to buy absolution coupons for his family and himself, the money saved as a mercenary from the past might not be enough!

Yes, once he obtains more gold from the Portuguese people and Cuban Natives, and sells the spoils of war from this ship, he might just gather enough Ducat Gold Coins to return home for retirement! Right, once he finishes this last gig, he'll return home and establish a manor, becoming a Knight Nobility!

Thinking of this, Reinhardt was genuinely delighted and laughed heartily again. Then, he glanced at the Barbarian Leader staring from the shore and toward the two ships that briefly belonged to them, waving his large hand boldly and shouted.

"Brothers! These two ships, for now, are ours! The property on these captives is ours too!"

"Hurry up, meticulously loot these ships from top to bottom! Then we'll dock, and exchange for gold from the Portuguese people and Cuban Natives!"

"Ho! Ho! Listen to the boss, loot the ship, exchange for gold!"

The Shenluo mercenaries on the two ships cheered in unison, their morale reaching the peak! Subsequently, they worked as one, quickly starting to plunder, scouring each corpse and every cask and chest on board!

"Hmm? Chief Divine protect us! Why aren't those Shenluo mercenaries docking yet?"

Warrior Captain Kepili frowned, watching after the brief slaughter, only the mercenaries were shouting and howling, but the two Clark Ships were still stalled at sea. He wanted to find some small boats to row over but the few available couldn't carry many, hence it was impractical.

"No rush! Captain Kepili! These Shenluo mercenaries will dock! They still want more gold as a reward! Come, let people make a platform, pile the found property on it, and add more gold and pearls...upon seeing these spoils of war, mercenaries will shamelessly come over, wanting another share!"

Priest Adin had already arrived from behind. He smiled knowingly, looking at the two Clark Galleons, seemingly confident. Then, he whispered a few words to Warrior Captain Kepili, causing the latter to raise his brows in surprise.

"Do it immediately?"

"Yes! Do it immediately! As soon as they dock!"
