The Noko Island Part 3
As a Javanese general of Dwipa, Joko Tingkir knew very well the policy of his master's captive. They would not kill anyone they could capture, and they would not reject anyone who surrendered. Therefore, he ordered his men to distribute the ropes and rescue the pirates on the ship. Of course, they would tie the pirates with ropes.
After he saves the captured pirates, Joko Tingkir must face a big problem.
Kumis Keris has regrouped his army of more than a thousand pirates at the pier, so how did Joko Tingkir manage to dock on the island? The Pantura naval fleet is unlike any real-world marine, which can start amphibious operations.
In the end, Joko Tingkir got the stubborn idea. He ordered the first unit to dock on the island, and the other four units remained in a fan-like formation. These units provided a protective shot to suppress the pirates.
Keris's mustache saw the warship preparing to dock. In response, he immediately ordered the pirates to stop them.
Right at this moment, a wave of arrows rained down on the path of the pirates and stopped them in their tracks. The pirates hesitated, unsure if they should move.
The actions of the Pantura naval fleet enraged Mustache Keris. He constantly scolded them. A very shameless intruder!
“Move! Or we all die!”
Under his command, the pirates rushed towards the rain of arrows. Every second, the archers would shoot down a pirate, which caused some to be injured, while some instantly died.
The pirates on the coast escaped death after the enemy set fire to their ship. Eventually, they jumped into the sea to save their lives, but now, they had to face death itself again. Naturally, they felt reluctant.
As the casualties increased, some pirates could not take it anymore. Instead of charging forward, they quietly retreated and fled. They tried to escape from the rain of arrows.
When some people lead, others will follow the trend. Humans fear death, and pirates are no exception. Therefore, the pirates had not even reached halfway to the first unit before more than half of them retreated.
Pantura's first naval unit took advantage of the situation to dock on the island and establish a defensive line.
At this moment, Mustache Keris knew that no action could stop the Pantura navy again. Even if they continued forward, they would not stop the intruders.
"Retreat!" The mustache Keris said wryly.
This command made the pirates very happy. They disperse and flee faster than rabbits.
Heru Cokro stood on the main ship. He shook his head, as he looked at the opponent's helpless state.
Just like this, the Pantura naval fleet managed to dock on the island and started the extermination round of the remaining pirates.
At this moment, all the pirates ran for their own lives and were not even organized.
To prevent anyone from escaping the net, Joko Tingkir arranged for the 4th and 5th units to remain on the warship Jung Jawa and patrol the waters of the island. This action completely blocked the escape route of the pirates.
Noko Island is only 50 square kilometers, so it's not a good place to hide.
Joko Tingkir secretly implemented the policy of Heru Cokro captives. The sailors shouted and called for the pirates to turn themselves in. If they do, they will be spared. Otherwise, if the pirates decided to ignore the message and flee, the navy would annihilate them mercilessly.
Threats are effective.
To the fanatical pirate members, Joko Tingkir shows no mercy. He had the soldiers from the first unit deploy to search for them. Once found, they would annihilate these pirates on the spot.
The extermination lasted all afternoon. Later, Joko Tingkir accompanied Heru Cokro to inspect the island.
Suro Ireng has good looting skills. Instead, they had trash-building skills.
The entire pirate camp did not even have a fence, and left it wide open. They could count the buildings on the island with one hand.
The pirates only pay attention to their docks.
Narrow, bumpy, damp dirt roads weaved in the marina. Heru Cokro carefully watched his feet as he walked. He did not want to step into the puddle.
The wooden houses were scattered on both sides of the dirt road. The houses were imperfect and rough, as if the pirates had only built them from a few pieces of wood.
Heru Cokro was doubtful whether such a wooden house could protect its owner when it was raining or sunny.
They did not have a decent yard outside of the wooden house. There are no pets or vegetables either. Some ramshackle clothes hung under the roof, floating and hanging in the wind.
Sometimes, he found some dried fish in some houses. This is the home of the more diligent pirates.
In terms of fields, they basically did not reclaim any land. They only had pure barren land that had no plantations. Only the wild green grass tells the visitors about a certain decadence.
Clearly, the pirates did not produce any harvest. They do not have the ability to be self-sufficient and are completely dependent on stolen supplies.
After they continued inside, they suddenly found a small pond in the middle of the island. Heru Cokro observed it and estimated that the pond was less than 500 square meters in size. It should be the only source of fresh water on the island.
For this reason, the pirates consider this pool to be their most important asset and protect it very tightly.
The pirates had built a circle of buildings around the pond. These are all wooden structures and look sturdier than a wooden house on the outer circumference, this should be the core area of the pirates. The most popular pirate shop is one of these buildings.
The only courtyard in the highest place looked particularly striking among the group of wooden houses.
Needless to say, this must be the residence of the great pirate leader.
Along the way, Heru Cokro has lost interest in other buildings. He went straight to the yard.
Even after they walked to the core area of the island, the streets along the road had not improved, still undulating and full of holes. On both sides of the road, the lively wild green grass swung in the wind.
The soldiers had cleared these pirate buildings first. Therefore, when Heru Cokro arrived, not a single pirate was in sight. He only saw the soldiers of the Pantura naval fleet. On the ground, he could sometimes see traces of blood and fights.
The guard in charge saw Heru Cokro and immediately saluted.
Heru Cokro nodded and walked through the door.
