The marine Midshipman’s face was filled with blood, and appeared extremely miserable. Facing the harsh criticism from Sheyan, he snarled with a venomous gaze.

"You vile heretic! We will never compromise with you. You’ll end up nailed to a cross with ravens feasting on you; you wretched slaughterer!"

Sheyan sneered in response. At this instant, clamorous yells, curses and brawls could be heard from other regions of the ship’s hold; along with violent rumbles of gunfire. Very quickly, the ship’s deck was once again dyed red with sprinkles of blood, as droplets overflowed out from the edges and dripped into the sea. Initially, large blood patches could be seen, but gradually it spread metres out before dissolving into the sea!

Almost instantaneously, this insurrection was once again vanquished. Amongst the remaining marines, approximately fifty were still alive. Their faces revealed numbed and grievous expressions, but their hands were bundled up behind their heads.
