    Episode 110 - Batavia's Graveyar part 3 - The Massacre begins.....

    What begins as desperation descends into calculated slaughter. Men, women, and children are hunted, drowned, stabbed, and silenced in the night. The sick are executed where they lie. The weak are deemed expendable. Entire groups are lured away and murdered, their deaths hidden beneath lies and shifting sands. Each day, the body count rises as Cornelisz tightens his grip, building a reign of terror fueled by paranoia, power, and the promise of piracy. This episode dives into one of the most horrifying chapters of survival history—a place where humanity fractures, morality vanishes, and the greatest threat is no longer the elements, but each other.
