"Town. What's going on?"
The civilians turned extremely pale.
The broken ship entered the port without encountering any obstruction. Some civilians were so anxious that they jumped into the water and swam towards the town.
"Sager, are we still going to rob?" Lily looked at Sag.
The town has been destroyed, what are they still robbing?
They are here to rob, not to pick up rags.
Sager's face was also extremely gloomy.
Are you kidding me?
He just wanted to rob a town, why would he be so unlucky?
"Get down!"
Sager gritted his teeth and said, "A thief never leaves empty-handed! Isn't there still half of this town? Let's see if there is anything we can steal!"
But after saying that, he glanced at the building that was almost destroyed and added, "At least grab some supplies!"
"Yes! Captain Sager!"
Ajin took the lead, jumped off the edge of the boat, and entered the dock with a dozen pirates, while the others stayed on the boat to prevent attacks from others.
There are very few times when pirates go out in full force to rob.
Sager has no hideout. If he had one, he would allow the pirates to move freely.
He also took Lily off the boat and walked towards the town from the dock.
A huge gap was plowed out on the town's main road, and the buildings on both sides showed signs of being hit by artillery shells, but deeper inside, the buildings looked more like they had been hit by something huge, showing a large dent.
"No, it's gone!"
As soon as they arrived at the town square, they heard crying in front of them, and then saw a group of people gathered in the center of the square.
In addition to the group of civilians on the boat, there were many more people surrounding there, all of them covered in dust and in a disheveled state.
However, Sag didn't find any dead bodies on the ground, so everyone in the town should be alive.
"What's missing?" Sager asked subconsciously.
A civilian on the boat turned around and cried, "Our solar canvas has been stolen!"
"Solar canvas?" Sag looked at Ajin with a puzzled look.
"It seems to be the most famous product of Campas. I have only heard of it," Ajin replied.
"That's the best canvas!"
Among the civilians, an old man with a cane said, "It's our treasure!"
"Who are you?" Sager looked over.
"I'm the mayor of Campas Town. I heard about it. Thank you for saving the people in our town."
The mayor nodded at him and said, "We are a big town that makes canvas. We have the best canvas in the East China Sea. In addition to the finely crafted canvas, every twenty years we will also make a batch of the strongest canvas. We will gather all the canvas craftsmen in the East China Sea and use the best craftsmanship and the best materials to make the strongest canvas!"
Every twenty years, the town of Campas would harvest a batch of extremely fine crops, whether due to the characteristics of the island or the climate. At this time, canvas makers from all over the East China Sea would come here and work together to create a batch of the strongest canvas.
Moreover, the quantity of canvas was very scarce, and each batch could only be used for one ship. Every time a successful one was made, they would be hung in the town for people to admire.
"This kind of canvas will not be damaged even if it is hit by artillery shells, and it will not be torn apart by the strongest winds. It has excellent toughness and elasticity, and is most suitable for wind resistance. Even fire cannot burn it easily. Because it is made when the sun is at its strongest, we call it... Solar Canvas!"
When Zhenzhang said this, he was extremely proud, but soon he lost his temper and said, "It's gone now."
Sager raised an eyebrow, "A pirate did it?"
"It was the pirates who did it."
The mayor said angrily, "A pirate ship arrived a few days ago. It was very powerful and easily defeated our escort team. Even the warships were helpless! They started to destroy things as soon as they arrived here. One of them, a particularly tall man in a black robe, took away our solar sail!"
He slammed his cane to the ground and shouted, "That's the best product every twenty years. Those pirates don't even know how to use it!"
Is this what you care about?
"It's really a hateful pirate!"
The civilian on the ship gritted his teeth and said, then reacted, "Captain, I'm not talking about you"
"So, this was a robbery?"
Sager clicked his tongue and said, "This is clearly sabotage, so bullying!"
"Captain." The civilian looked over with emotion.
Sager said angrily: "If you destroy this place, how can we come back next time? It will take a long time for people to rebuild it, so there will be less time to rob next time. This will not be sustainable development at all!"
Lily: "…"
You are not concerned about the right thing.
She asked the mayor, "How much is your solar canvas worth?"
Sager gave Lily an approving look.
This question hits the core point.
The mayor shook his head. "It's not a question of whether it's valuable or not. How can this kind of canvas be measured by money? Canvas is made to be used for sailing. Of course, it must be matched with the best boats. If it's not the best boat, we won't sell it!"
"So what was the price of the last batch?" asked Sager.
"I don't know. It was also robbed 20 years ago."
It seems like every time something is made it will be snatched away!
"What a pity! If this batch of canvas were sold, it would be worth a lot of money." Sager sighed.
The mayor nodded in agreement and said, "Captain, if you are here to buy something, I'm sorry to disappoint you. You have also seen the current state of the town. We have nothing now."
Ordinary canvas would be placed in the market after it was produced, and the market was near the dock. After the pirates came, they burned all the remaining canvas. Now there is not much canvas to sell.
"I'm not here to buy anything."
"Then you are"
Sager smiled and drew the flintlock from his waist.
Bang!
Following the sound of gunfire, the other pirates all showed ferocious expressions.
"I'm a pirate too!" Sager said seriously.
Although a dozen pirates are few in number, they are enough to deal with civilians who have no ability to defend themselves.
"Pirates!!"
The civilians in the square finally reacted and looked at the pirates in horror.
"Pirates again? I knew it. Every time the sun canvas appears, it will attract pirates."
The mayor sighed and raised his head again, "But this is our pride. Even if it is stolen by pirates, we will still make it!"
"Mayor!" The civilians looked over with emotion.
"That matter has nothing to do with me, old man. Just hand over some supplies. I won't steal the rest. Seeing how miserable you are, I guess there's nothing to steal."
The town was in this state, so Sager naturally had no interest. What he wanted to rob was the prosperous place, not the destroyed town.
But it would be unreasonable not to grab something after coming here.
Other pirates can rob, but he can't?
Nothing?
There must be water!
There must be seasoning!
There must be food!
No matter what, he must have something, otherwise he can't continue sailing.
