"Thank you, kind saviours!"

"No... it's alright.

This is what it should be.

You all are human beings too, and you deserve to be treated as such."

The more Micheal said, the more warmth the slaves felt in their hearts.

If it was some other person who said that they wanted to free them, they would definitely feel like it was a trap.

But these were the famous Baymardians, so they were more likely to believe it.

They had an unshakable reputation within the slave and peasant community.

So there was nothing anyone could say to make them doubt these Baymardians.

As for Pirus and some of the Teriquen men, even though they blended in and acted pitiful as well... their hearts were all felt on fire.

Hahahahhahahahaha!

They were finally going to escape alongside these worthless slaves.

And when they got back to Terique, they would request for Master Nopline to send out more spies again while waiting silently for their revenge.

As the saying went, it was never too late for a gentleman to get his revenge.

So all they had to do now was wait.

Pirus tried his best not to let out a victorious smile when he looked at Micheal.

His heart pounded loudly against his ribcage, and his veins seemed to bulge out on his forehead in excitement.

'Hahahhahaha!

Pirus, you are brilliant!' he thought, as he resisted the urge to stroke his own chin.

Luckily, he had jumped down onto this floor while the Baymardians were busy attacking the 2nd floor.

He had long cut his trousers with his knife, making them look like shorts.

And of course, he rolled on the ground to dirty the shorts before quickly throwing the rest of his clothes and knife outside the window.

He tried his best to look as dirty as possible, and also chained his legs to one of the empty seats available.

Since people died weekly, their bodies were typically thrown overboard.

So there were a few empty seats here and there.

As for the rest of the Teriquen men, they were already on this floor ages ago... as they were in charge of controlling and leading the slaves to paddle towards the right direction.

That said, the moment they saw Pirus descend from the 2nd floor, they were also in shock.

But when they saw his actions, of course they too did the same as well.

They weren't fools!

Just his action alone meant that the enemy had breached the ship.

So now that there was nowhere to run, wasn't their best option to disguise themselves as slaves too?

For sure, they followed their Commander's actions right till the very end.

.

Micheal patiently waited for the slaves to finish expressing their gratitude, before finally raising his hands and calling for silence again.

"Alright everyone, please settle down.

As I said, we will be able to free you all.

But, there is just one little problem that needs to be solved first.

You see, some Teriquen warriors have hidden amongst you all in hopes of escaping from our grasps.

And as their enemy, we can't let them go.

So if any of you knows them, please point them out.

Because if you don't, then it means that you have sided with our enemy.

And if that's the case, then no one will be able to leave, as everyone will be considered to be an enemy.

Brave men!

This is a chance to liberate yourselves from your current predicaments and become free men.

I guarantee you that once you're free, no one will be able to know what transpired here because the men that we catch will be locked up in our prison for many years to come.

I can guarantee you all that whatever happens in this room, will stay in this room.

So you all don't need to be afraid of their wrath.

Again, those that aid us will also be rewarded for their merits as well."

Dammit!

As Micheal spoke, the Teriquen men felt like face became paler and paler by the moment.

They were scared as hell!

Would they be singled out, would they be caught?

They began to silently request for the heavens to give them this chance to escape.

Just this chance, this was all they asked for.

They felt like crying, but had no tears to shed.

Everything that happened today seemed to flash within their mind in an instant.

They tried to stay calm but felt a great amount of fear crawl into their hearts.

Cursed!

What kind of sh**ty luck did they have?

.

"Everyone!

You all have been long oppressed and maltreated.

And now, you finally have a chance to be free.

With that said, can you all please point out the Teriquen men who tried to blend in with you during this time?"

O_O"--->

Very quickly, 20 people hurriedly pointed at the culprits.

And soon, more people pointed at them too.

At this point, they no longer feared these men and devised to take their destiny into their own hands just like their saviour had said.

After their saviour had explained some key points to them, they had quickly realized several important facts.

Firstly, there were so many of them that it was almost impossible for these Teriquen men to remember them.

Of course some of them might be remembered.

But so what?

Freedom to them was something that they had longed for since they were little.

And now, it had finally come to pass.

But even though they were scared of sir Nopline, they knew that provided they didn't step in Terique, the chances of them being found out would be slim.

First off, their faces were hardly remembered.

So only those who trained them or sailed with them once might be able to remember them.

Heck!

Even sir Nopline didn't even know how they looked like.

Therefore, even if they go to Terique again, they might not even be found out, unless someone had once worked with them.

Even at that, with the countless slaves under Nopline's wings, it was just too hard to make them out.

So they were definitely taking this chance to escape!

Finally, freedom was here!
