"How... is it possible! My phantom ring is clearly--" When he turned his head to look, he found that the ring that was supposed to be on his finger was gone along with his finger.
The air next to them shook, and a short guy wearing red sleeves appeared, holding Arthur's missing finger.
"You know how much energy I spent on this plan! How could I not send someone to pay attention to the effect of the relic on you!"
After Margaret finished speaking, she pulled out the dagger that had stabbed into Arthur's chest, and then stabbed it back in again.
Scarlet blood spurted out from Arthur's back, the light in his eyes slowly disappeared, and his body wrapped in steel softened.
Margaret looked at the corpse on the ground, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and gradually she began to laugh, and her laughter became louder and louder.
For some unknown reason, the tightly closed doors slowly opened a crack, and the islanders secretly looked outside from inside and began to whisper.
"It seems to be Miss Margaret?"
"That's impossible. All the members of the Cavendish family are dead."
"Yes, it must be Miss Margaret. I remember it very clearly."
Hearing the noises coming from all directions, Margaret turned around. The firelight illuminated her face clearly. Although there was a scar on her face, the islanders could still see the familiar face.
The houses around gradually lit up, and the islanders walked towards Margaret with lights in their hands. No one spoke at this time, but there was a kind of longing in their eyes.
"Citizens of Hefang! Those rampant enemies have been defeated by me! I, Margaret Jane Cavendish, swear on my family's reputation that I will restore the glory of Hefang Island!!"
After a brief three-second silence, the islanders were boiling with excitement. The whole audience burst into cheers as if struck by thunder from the blue sky. Some of the excited people even shed tears of excitement. They had endured too much injustice.
They couldn't help but get excited at the thought that they would soon return to their previous lives.
Don't expect the colonists to treat the original islanders well. Born in the navy, Arthurs copied all the military practices to the island, including military prostitutes.
Looking at the islanders in front of her, Margaret laughed again, but her smile could not hide her moist eyes.
"Brother, father, mother, did you see that? I have taken back our home."
At this moment, a team of sheriffs whistled and squeezed out of the crowd. However, when they saw Margaret standing in the middle of the crowd and Arthurs on the ground, their faces suddenly changed. They dropped their weapons and saluted Margaret respectfully.
When the Hope Island Navy on the sea came to the dock to rest, all resistance from other directions quickly ceased.
Especially when they heard about Sodom, everyone on the sea had heard of this movable island. Although they didn't know why, the notorious pirates were currently helping Governor Margaret.
The new order began to operate, and the officials who survived before spontaneously began to serve the new master. As for Arthurs's old people...
"Bang!" A row of neatly arranged guillotine blades chopped down directly, and the bloody head rolled in the mud and rolled to Margaret's feet.
"Next batch! Hurry up!!" The sweaty director next to him shouted loudly, as if if he shouted a little slower, the guillotine would chop his neck.
The sheriffs carried the prisoners with sacks on their heads to the guillotine, and the guillotine, stained with scarlet blood, fell again.
Margaret closed her eyes and slowly took a breath of the bloody air. For the first time since her mother's death, she felt a little happy. The bedbugs in the house were ready to be quickly cleaned up.
She opened her eyes and looked towards the distance at the ruins of the Governor's Mansion in He Fang. Some workers were cleaning it up. Margaret was going to rebuild the Governor's Mansion and make it exactly the same as before.
Of course, this is something for the future. Right now, she still has a lot of things to do.
She left the execution site for war criminals in the square and walked towards the nearby dock where the Hope Island sailors were resting.
"What do you think about what I said?"
At the bar in a busy pub, Margaret asked a man in a straight military uniform, a sturdy man with hooks on his hands, and an unusually pale middle-aged man.
These three were the captains who had found Hope Island with Charles before, and now they all belong to the Hope Island Navy.
"As long as you can join the Hefang Navy, I can give you double what Charles can give you."
The hooked muscular man nudged his companion with his arm with the anchor tattoo and said jokingly, "What did I say? I said that Miss Margaret and our Governor can't have an affair, otherwise why would she poach him so blatantly? Don't you agree? Hahaha."
Hearing this, Margaret said calmly: "So what is your choice?"
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
The man in military uniform gently placed the glass in his hand on the bar. "Perhaps you don't know us explorers. As long as we are not discovered at sea, we can rob cargo ships and kill people for goods. But there are two things that we explorers will never violate."
"First, we will never violate the rules set by the Explorers Association. If we violate these rules, they will not protect our interests in exploring the living island. Second, we will never betray the governor we are loyal to. This is the foundation of our existence."
"Without these two things, we are not explorers, but a bunch of pirates. Although people on the island say we are crazy, we still take this identity very seriously."
The thin middle-aged man next to him added, with a hint of contempt in his tone: "Besides, your place is so dark, it's not as comfortable as Hope Island. Without the dangerous and life-filled sunshine, it's meaningless no matter how big the place is."
Seeing the three people's firm attitude, Margaret was not annoyed at all. She turned and walked out of the bar. "In this case, you can rest here for a few days. There are plenty of prostitutes and wine in the dock area."
"Don't worry, we won't leave. We will wait until you stabilize your regime before leaving. As for your attempt to win us over, we will report everything to Governor Charles without missing a word."
