Pirate Kingship-Chapter 847 - 510: Chaotic Battle 1473: The Remit People Got Beaten Up Yet Again!_2
Watching a large group from the Native-born Wings of Death and armed personnel from the Lighthouse Union storm into the settlement, rescuing one miserable Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinary after another from the Remit People’s prison cells, effortlessly disposing of any settlers daring to draw their swords in resistance.
Among those rescued was the pirate captain Schindler, who had been captured last year, along with his crew members.
This was all thanks to the blockade operations by the Black Sail Pirates under The Mad Hunt on the north-south maritime routes, which prevented them from being transported away in time, though they hadn’t missed out on any suffering.
Their main purpose was to act as "lamps" to illuminate the Sea of Monsters in search of Noah’s Ark, rather than to fight.
To reduce guarding costs, the Remit People simply amputated the limbs of many Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinaries, gouged out their eyes and tongues, and crudely healed their wounds with Black Sorcery to prevent infection and death.
Confined in cages like maggots that could only crawl, they were fed slop until their last shred of strength was exhausted, with no chance of escape.
If still attempting to escape, even more terrifying penalties awaited them.
Only the essential life organs were preserved, while all other parts were cut off, and they could only spend the rest of their lives confined in jars and containers.
The brutality and malice of it were simply appalling.
"Damn it!"
"So vicious!"
All the Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinary witnesses bit their teeth audibly, unable to resist beating the Remit People in the settlement half to death.
Shrouded in shadow, the staff of the Lighthouse Union recorded everything with a Shadow Stone, which would surely appear in reports by tomorrow at the latest, exposing their atrocities to the world.
In this era, Remit People primarily engaged in banking across various countries, lacking the power to control media or influence the voice of the Lighthouse Union.
Even the supposed first paparazzi of the Material World, who could automatically write news reports and capture every ripple of human collective subconscious from the sea, [the world’s first newspaper], wouldn’t help.
Catherine received the artificial substitute of Within the Book Lies Venus, and finally had the chance to come to the Southern Continent with Byron only to encounter such a tragedy, unable to stop furrowing her brows:
"Reading history always made me feel the Remit People kept resetting the baseline of humanity’s tolerance, I don’t see any other group worldwide as audacious as these people.
Do they not fear exposure leading to collective outrage, driving them back to the sea from the hard-won land they established their country on?
Who would still want them as neighbors then?"
Previously, the high ranks of the Lighthouse Union used the upgraded Lighthouse Matrix to investigate the whereabouts of the missing, laboring busily for over a month.
Among Remit People, numerous powerful extraordinary abilities of Gold Sequence professions had led Alexander, the Fire Thief, and other Lighthouse Union high ranks on many futile detours.
Pawnbrokers’ Seal Fee: Preventing leaks from Mysticism;
Money Makes the Mare Go: Able to bribe the omnipresent Nature Spirits of the Southern Continent, providing Spirit Mediums with various false intelligence...
Banker’s Silver Servant: Named after the economist’s saying "money is a good servant but a bad master," once contracted, the contractors must prioritize fulfilling all your work requests regardless of family, kinship, love, or friendship as long as they regularly pay the agreed small amounts of silver coins.
Gold Tyrant: Similar effect to Silver Servant, but more oppressive. By granting someone excess gold through loans, forcibly converting him into a slave of money, destined to strive for debt repayment life long, most people unable to cover interests for life, remaining a slave like a walking corpse till death...
Also a Zero-Level Sacred Relic left by the former King of Remit People, King Solomon’s Key, shielding divination through transcendent rank and borrowing projections from 72 gods and demons to create various troubles.
Although the Lighthouse Union is large, its responsibilities are heavy, and the high ranks were already stretched thin, incapable of continuously contending eternally in the Southern Continent.
With manpower decreasing over time, others had to share the work of Delia’s father, Starfire Rudolf, who was then responsible for permanently residing in the Southern Continent to lead the tracking.
Fortunately, the Saint Byron Lens tripled the power of the Pharos Lighthouse, and after painstaking exploration, finally at the end of last year pinpointed the true mastermind—Remit’s Monetary Restoration Party.
They had a clear division of labor, with slave capturing in other directions handled by bribed agents.
The Barbary Pirate Kingdom direction was personally led by Saint Joseph wearing the thirteenth Ring of Saintly Authority, capturing entire settlements of Barbary People at once.
Thus, on the tenth day after New Year, the Remit People’s Day of Atonement, the Lighthouse Union organized a strike on the slave points exposed at their tail end.
Byron, as an honorary vice president, was responsible for a small portion, while the other main forces simultaneously launched attacks elsewhere.
Upon hearing his sister’s inquiry, Byron somewhat helplessly sighed:
"The Remit People aren’t behaving this way for the first time.
Listen to the Remit Sect’s doctrine: even the best among Alien Races deserves extermination, children born to alien races are all livestock...
