The others did not believe what the little girl said .

These slaves had not heard of any slave owners who would bestow freedom to their slaves, let alone free all of them . Most of the slaves looked doubtful, and some of them sneered—they thought it was a trick to make them work hard . However, the two slaves who were saved by Vivian were pleasantly surprised . It seemed that they believed what the angel-like little girl said was true .

It did not matter whether these slaves believed or not .

Because the overseers were those fierce and cruel pirates . If these slaves did not work hard, these pirates who were used to fresh blood and cruel means would have some ways to make them obedient . This was the advantage of pirates . They could break a lot of rules when they took action . Their bloodthirsty cruelty could help Soran solve many problems .

In any case, Soran was not a kind and noble person . If the means were crueler, so be it .

Only cruelty would make them obedient for now!

The sentencing at the side was continuing .

The two indigenous escapees were nearly out of breath after a full morning’s sun exposure . Soran thought about it, but he did not let his men drive the nails into their forehead . Instead, he let them die on the stake and had them settled by the attracted scavenger birds . It was possible that a dead person would be reborn into an undead after being nailed into his forehead . Although Soran was not afraid, he hated things that were too troublesome . Those two indigenous slaves did not last long . Their life force was not strong enough . They died on the first day, but their bodies were still erected in the place where the slaves worked .

At most, by tomorrow, there would already be crows, vultures, and various seabirds .

It was noon .

The half-elf first mate was not looking good when he came over and said in a low voice: “Your Excellency! The other escaping slave has disappeared . We couldn’t track him! Your subordinate is incompetent!”

Three escaped, only two were caught .

When Soran heard the other party’s words, he frowned slightly . Then he waved his hand and said: “Forget it . Don’t worry about him anymore . Get the others to prepare the foundation . Then, you will take some people to the City of Wealth . I need some dwarven craftsmen . It’s better if they knew how to burn bricks and build furnaces . Along with people that had construction skills . Get them all here . ”

“Don’t worry about the money . There is a sum of money on Snake Island . You can withdraw it and use them at any time!”

The half-elf first mate nodded immediately and replied: “No problem . ”

“These sort of builders are easy to find . There are some dwarfs in the City of Wealth too . I will bring them here by all means . ”

He had a cold glint in his eyes . He had already messed up once—he would do anything, even kidnapping, to get those men here . Now it was obvious to all the discerning people that his Excellency Throat Cutter was going to build his foundation here . Their future disposition would highly depend on how well they could perform now .

“You’re dismissed . ”

Soran slightly nodded and ordered: “When you go down, get Adele over . Get Cyclops over too . ”

The half-elf first mate answered and retreated .

After a while .

The figure of the red-haired female pirate appeared outside the tent . After she came in, she bent over slightly, and enquired: “Your Excellency, what can I do for you?”

Soran looked up at her, then handed a white stone to her, and directly ordered: “This is a Struvite stone, a type of valuable fertilizer . After refining it a little, it can be used on crops, which can greatly improve yield . Take this stone to the Alchemy Guild of the Wizard Alliance, and I’m sure they will be interested in it . ”

“Just send them these . If they are interested, have them send someone to talk to me!”

Struvite stones?

The expression of the red-haired female pirate was a little puzzled . Although she had quite a bit of knowledge, she did not know much about farming . However, that did not affect her understanding of the intention of the fertilizer . She nodded at once and replied: “I’ll set off now . I’ll ensure that these get sent over!”

“Very well . ” Soran nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “I’ve got three boxes of samples ready . You can send them using the clippers and then help me to purchase these items on the list . ”

Speaking of this, Soran took out a list and said, “There is still a sum of money in Port Tylon . You can go and take it out . These must be delivered, and I also need these things to be brought back by next month . ”

Adele-Isabella nodded gravely and replied: “Yes, your Excellency! I’ll finish the tasks . ”

Soran gently waved his hands .

Before leaving, the red-haired female pirate could not help looking back at him . Then she met a fierce Cyclops and a bald eagle-nosed pirate . The two men gave a slight look at the red-haired female pirate . They did not seem to have much respect for her, but they were more humbled after entering the tent . They bowed their heads and said, “Your Excellency!”

The first one to speak was the eagle-nosed pirate . He bowed slightly and said: “We have three more people who were bitten today . There are too many poisonous insects and snakes here . The men are scared . Your Excellency? Shall we sprinkle the powder we brought here?”

Soran stood up after he heard the news .

He went outside the tent and looked up at the sky . Today’s sun was better . After thinking for a moment, he said: “Let’s scatter it after noon . Round the camp . Let them pay more attention to cleaning up the surrounding first . ”

The environment here was quite bad .

There were a lot of poisonous insects and snakes overseas . It would be quite troublesome if they were accidentally bitten . Best case scenario, they just bled or festered . Worst case scenario, they would be poisoned to death . Even when the mosquitoes here bit people, there is a high chance the wound would be infected and worsen . When Soran came here, he had considered all the aspects . He was a man who planned before he moved . There was a lot of insecticide powder, but it was not to deal with these poisonous insects but to deal with more troublesome things . But now there are almost more than ten non-combat casualties . It was better to sprinkle those powder .

“Ah!”

Suddenly, there was a scream outside . Then a small pirate leader ran over . He said a few words outside, and someone came in to report: “Your Excellency . A slave dug up a hibernating viper and was bitten . Monkey had him let some blood to expel the poison, but the snake seemed to be very poisonous . There was no hope for the slave to be saved . ”

What the hell!

Who could be so stupid to let a hibernating viper could bite him?

The climate of the Overseas Islands belonged to the tropical rainforest . The winter here was very short . Many poisonous snakes would not hibernate . The temperature here was much higher, and there was no ice nor snow . In such a climate area, mosquitoes and snakes bred easily . Sometimes, this kind of environmental factors could not be dealt with at all . People who had been to primitive forests or other wilderness areas would feel it most deeply .

Soran frowned and rubbed his forehead . Then he said in a deep voice: “Clean up here first!”

“Set a fire!”

“Have them prepare the fire to smoke this place, and then sprinkle the powder . ”

It should not rain today .

If it rained, all the sprinkled powder would be wasted .

Soran’s men immediately took the lead, and then slaves and pirates could be seen clearing the grass near the camp . All the weeds and shrubs were cut down and dug up, and the grass was burned on all sides . A cloud of thick smoke rose towards the sky . As the fire spread and powder was sprinkled out, they saw countless insects coming out of the grass . The number was numbing at first glance . Many fierce and cruel pirates who saw them had goosebumps all over their bodies .

“Damn it!”

A strong northerner pirate scolded . He quivered for a while, murmuring: “There are so many insects below! I slept there last night!”

How many insects were there exactly?

It was not so countable anyway . But would be thousands of them .

As long as the place was burnt and the powder has been sprinkled, there would be at least one or two insects crawling out . Soran frowned slightly at the smoke rising from the fire . He took a look at the men next to him and ordered a group of people to go to the perimeter . If there were any indigenous tribes nearby, they might have been found out because of the thick smoke . It was better to arrange sentries . The indigenous tribes were very exclusive . If they found Soran and the others, it was highly likely they would launch attacks .

It took a whole afternoon!

All the pirates and slaves cleaned up all the weeds and shrubs near the camp together . Within 300 meters around the camp, Soran ordered them to burn and dig up all the vegetation . Outside the camp, all the newly turned soil was scattered with a layer of medicinal powder . There were no places to hide in this area, and the field of vision was very wide . At the same time, a lot of logs were piled up in the corner of the camp .

The first step of development and construction needed wood .

Soran planned to build a simple fence first, then use logs to build houses, and then expand further .

As for food and other supplies, he imported them by sea, because as one of the three pirate kings, Soran could mobilize a lot of resources . He did not need to worry about wood . There were many primitive forests nearby . Now that it was his people who were chopping wood, that was why the progress was still so slow .

When Soran chopped the wood himself, exercising his sword skill, progress would soar .

He used to be a jack of all trades .

Logging could train many combat skills, especially those violent sword attacks .
