Chapter 830 - Magoon Island Mission Finalization

After taking a nap, Landon woke up and headed towards the dungeon at 2 P.M.

He was in charge of dealing with prisoners within base one while Mitchen and Lucius would deal with the dungeon prisoners in the bases they attacked last night.

Not everything could be done in one day, so they planned to spend as many days as possible to settle these things properly.

Din Din Din Din Din

Landon calmly walked into one of the rooms and sat behind the desk there.

All rooms within the building were now used for interrogation and questioning.

Landon wasn’t the only one who would do the questioning.

They didn’t want it to take forever, so several others were assigned to interrogate the prisoners too.

And each prisoner would be questioned by at least three different interrogators before their status got confirmed.

So they would go from one room to another.

The interrogators who have specifically studied criminal psychology and whatnot could pick up truths or lies here and there.

And the little things that they do or say would make things easier for the interrogators.

Of course before Landon came here, the soldiers and Marines on the earlier shift began recording everyone’s name, date of birth, reason for being here and so on.

Again, several pirates who weren’t badly injured were brought and made to pinpoint why these people were locked up.

But just to be sure that both the prisoners and pirates were telling the truth and not winging it, they decided to interrogate them.

.

London sat down and waited for the first person to be brought in.

"What do you want?

No, no!

I didn’t do anything.

Please let me go!"

Ooooooo~~

The blindfolded man cried while struggling to escape.

He felt terrified.

Why did they blindfold him?

We’re they going to execute him?"

After leading him to the chair, the soldier escorting him removed his blindfold and sat him down.

Landon was also wearing a mask for fear that someone might know that he was the ruler of Baymard.

"Please, don’t be afraid.

We aren’t going to hurt you."

The man opened his eyes wide fearfully.

He didn’t believe it at all.

Landon only shook his head wryly and nodded to confirm what he said.

"It’s true!

My friends and I aren’t pirates.

We are mercenaries who have been sent to capture these pirates.

But we couldn’t just leave you all in the dungeon after leaving.

So what wanted to free you all.

But we first have to know why you were locked up."

"Really?

That’s it?"

"Hmhm.

So if you tell us why?

Then you’re free to go after some days.

You have my word!"

The young man decided to say everything that he knew.

Even though he still had doubts about him getting freed, it was better to take this chance and see what happened, no?

.

Landon listened very attentively and nodded.

"So you’re a corporate rowing slave?"

"Yes, sir.

Two years ago, I was kidnapped and sent to some island.

They asked us to battle one another, but I ended up within the fighters’ dead last category.

And even though the crew bought me, they still didn’t give me a pirate title.

They decided that he would forever be a slave rower.

You see, 8/10th of those rowing pirate sh.i.p.s are the pirates themselves, while the other remaining group are people like me.

We are not allowed to participate in any pirate activities on ship or land.

We forever remained chained up on the sh.i.p.s’ lowest level, while the pirates can freely row without getting chained.

In this way, if there is an attack, they can also join those above to fight.

Likewise, they can also flee the ship, leaving us for the enemy.

For the past two years, I’ve lived in the dungeon and on the lower deck of the sh.i.p.s."

Landon continued squeezing every piece of information out of him while another soldier hurriedly wrote everything down diligently.

.

The questioning and interrogating went on for three days.

Many knelt and thanked them heartily, especially those who were about to become food.

Without a doubt, they were all questioned in order to identify whether they would be a threat later on.

After all, what if some of them were actually dangerous people?

Within all the camps combined, they only found 17 out of 912 prisoners that appeared to be dangerous.

Some of them were captured spies, while others were mercenaries and assassins.

Of course during the time that they were on the island, they kept all 17 in the dungeon.

They didn’t want them to know who they were or see the many cars and trucks passing by.

It was also the main reason why each prisoner was blindfolded before leaving the dungeons during interactions.

That’s why when they met the prisoners, they dressed in ordinary clothes for pirates and even mercenaries.

They appeared with swords in their hands and told all prisoners that they had beaten the pirates on the island and even went as far as saying they were ordinary mercenaries.

This way, even if the freed spies relayed the message about what happened on the island to their masters, they didn’t see the battle, so they have no idea how it actually went down and can only believe that it was the hands of mercenaries.

.

As for the other innocent 895 who had been freed, they gave them money and instructed them to take the pirate sh.i.p.s and set sail.

These slaves were mostly rowing slaves, so they were more than happy to be row away.

Of course when the Baymardians had sent them off, they strategically removed all vehicles and even requested for the Baymard sh.i.p.s to sail away first.

This way, their secret would remain well hidden.

As for the 17 dangerous people that remained in the dungeons, they only freed them several days later, 2 hours before Landon and the rest had to depart the island permanently.

That’s right!

Everyone was already onboard the Navy sh.i.p.s when one of the trucks drove back towards the dungeon.

The vehicle parked in a hidden spot, and all 20 soldiers dressed in ordinary attire stepped off and released the prisoners from the dungeon.

But before leaving, they once again locked them up in a room with windows facing the opposite direction from where they parked the truck.

With that, they drove off quickly, boarded the sh.i.p.s and left for good.

Heh.

They wondered how long it would take for these people to realize that the place was deserted with just them on it.

More still, how would they get off the island when all pirate sh.i.p.s had either sailed off or got burnt?

.

Staying on the island was definitely not an option because if any other pirate ship docked on the island and caught them, their fates wouldn’t be good.

They’ll be sent to headquarters for questioning on what the hell happened here.

More still, the Baymardians had cleared all grains and foodstuff within the bases.

So their only option was to team up and hunt.

What if during that time, they were surrounded by packs of wild beasts that greatly outnumbered them?

Well, probably if they don’t go too deep into the forest, that should be somewhat okay.

And they could also fish if they wanted to.

Again, they probably didn’t know the many challenges of mother nature, so their luck was terrible.

Their only choice was to build a raft and travel out for months on sea before reaching the nearest land.

But would a raft really cut it?

Sigh... Their options were limited.

Landon laid on his bed with a from on his face.

’System, why haven’t you notified me yet?

Isn’t the mission over?

Where is my reward?’

’That depends, host.

Define completion.’
