Two soldiers from the second platoon escorted a prisoner to Gao Yang's location.
The prisoner looked to be over forty, with a broad back and sturdy build. His face bore a naturally fierce appearance, yet at this moment, it was devoid of any ferocity and instead painted with panic. When he was brought before Gao Yang, his legs even trembled.
After such a prolonged battle, the Skull Gang had suffered significant casualties, but the pirates' losses were even greater. What Gao Yang could not understand, however, was why the clearly outmatched pirates could still manage to hold out.
The pirates lacked combat strength, but close-quarters battles usually occurred at very short distances. Most of the pirates were poor marksmen, but with many firing their weapons, they inevitably posed a great threat. They were also hiding behind fortifications and bunkers, which naturally made the fighting quite difficult.
