Chapter 901 - 853: Capturing the Pirate United Fleet
Even though I don’t know when Tamilia learned the Teleportation Technique that only Anlicia usually knows, as long as she does, that’s great. Da Fei didn’t overthink it and immediately designated the teleportation location for the Flying.
With a flash of demon light, the space suddenly fluctuated, the Flying disappeared, and then with a loud splash, it appeared beside the damaged side of the Golden Spearfish, squeezing in amongst the pirate ships, blocking in front of the Golden Spearfish.
Come on! My Flying with Hydra Armor and a Holy Vine Body can self-recover, want to try crashing into me?
It was only when approaching that Da Fei noticed the bottom of the Golden Spearfish had a huge tear. As long as the pirate ship withdrew that "blade," the Golden Spearfish would definitely tilt, take on water, and sink!
So it turns out that the life of a big ship is also so fragile!
Without thinking much, Da Fei immediately instructed more than 40 Vine Demons to tie the Golden Spearfish together with the Flying using ropes.
With the Flying blocking further attacks, the pirate fleet’s successive rear collisions could no longer threaten the Golden Spearfish, and of course, neither could they threaten the thick-armored, tough-bodied Flying.
The battle reached a point where it was completely a one-sided harvest for Da Fei. The pirate hero of the enemy army was driven back to the captain’s quarters, in a weakened state, not daring to come out. The entire fleet lost the leadership bonus of the hero; not to mention the deck battle, it wasn’t even a match for the Angel Army. Even Da Fei’s ordinary Secret Archer Jungle Hunter Unit could easily sweep the pirates off the deck.
A total of 11 pirate ships’ decks had few pirates left, now it was just about attacking the rowing cabin and killing all the rowing sailors. Of course, they still had to tear down the pirate flagship, lest that hero keep hiding in the captain’s quarters, leaving the battle unfinished for half a day.
Just then, Catherine raised a loudspeaker and shouted: "Blood Hook Yassoro, no matter what happened with the Desolate Barbarian Pirates, it’s not for you Black Water Pirates to interfere, right? You not only meddled but also brought so many other force’s pirates to chase us, what is the meaning of this?"
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, an acquaintance? A storyline trigger? He immediately raised his hand, stopping all troops from attacking.
A muffled voice came from the pirate flagship: "Anyway, I’m just the errand boy. Defeated or not, if you’re going to kill, just kill, spare the crap."
Catherine replied: "You asked for this."
Da Fei indeed raised an eyebrow, what do a few lines of dialogue in the middle of a battle mean? Moreover, the opposing hero admitted defeat! Since they’re defeated, shouldn’t they normally retreat or flee? The problem is, the opponent also knows they can’t escape, so they are resigned to being killed or captured?
Damn! Isn’t it obviously triggering a recruitment storyline! Otherwise, why bother with all this talking? My whole family is out, and my family’s diplomatic skills are even higher than when facing Leviathan at that time! Right, recruit!
However, there really is no precedent for recruiting heroes; at most, enemy heroes see that the situation is not favorable and demand ransom or equipment to sign a surrender treaty to preserve their remaining troops. Ultimately, it’s because heroes are immortal, so there’s nothing that can compel a hero to surrender.
But since the storyline has been triggered, we must try! Maybe he’s not happy mixing on the pirate side? Or he’s lost and too embarrassed to go back?
Da Fei immediately raised the loudspeaker again and shouted: "Your name is Blood Hook Yassoro, right? Since you’re just an errand boy, it’s not your business; I won’t make things difficult for you, and you shouldn’t make things difficult for yourself. Let’s just end this, surrender and come with us."
The pirate flagship let out another muffled grunt: "Ridiculous! If you fell into my hands, I definitely wouldn’t spare you! Kill if you must!"
As expected! Da Fei hurriedly waved to Catherine on the Golden Spearfish, and Catherine immediately jumped onto the Flying and approached to ask: "What are your orders, Captain?"
After days apart, Catherine was still wearing her heroic blue and white naval officer’s uniform; her imposing uniform still couldn’t hide the waves of her chest! My dear, we’re finally on the same ship again, just let that broken fish of yours sink.
Da Fei swallowed a gulp and coughed dryly: "I think he’s talented, the key is that he has so many large ships under him. If he can surrender, wouldn’t it mean we have a lot more big ships? Even if he’s a pirate who doesn’t want to surrender to me, is there a chance he’d surrender to you?"
Catherine gave an "oh": "We can first capture him!"
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, not bad! Capturing indeed! Back when I was drifting on the sea with the Flying, I was captured along with the ship by the big beard of the Desolate Barbarian Pirates! Speaking of, my sweetheart Elena was also captured by dwarves, right? I believe that dwarves are a decent and upright, money-grubbing but not lecherous race, except for the regular beatings, they would definitely not do the things I imagine, right?
Da Fei shook his head, tossing aside the unpleasant thoughts, then raised the loudspeaker again: "Blood Hook Yassoro, do you admit that you are defeated? If you’re defeated, don’t engage in senseless resistance, lay down your weapons, I tell you, this is the Nether Sea, if a person dies here, their soul has no chance of ascension, your life, next life, and the one after will all be over. Of course, you’re a hero, you’re not afraid to die, but others aren’t; if you have loyalty, don’t let your men die in vain! Especially not in this ghostly place!"
Blood Hook opened the cabin door and shouted: "Brothers, we are defeated, whether we live or die is up to them, just lay down your weapons and let them take us swiftly."
The remaining pirates immediately dropped their weapons, sat down on the deck with legs spread, and gestured at their necks daringly, shouting: "Kill us! Make it quick, chief!"
Come on! Why are you so defiant even in surrender!

...
Oh yeah! Captives! Normally when battling NPC heroes, it is absolutely a fight to the last man standing, no peace until death. Probably only in a terrifying environment like the Nether Sea could they completely lose their fighting spirit?
However, capturing pirate warships doesn’t equate to owning pirate warships; ships without certificates are like getting a car without keys, unable to open the interface or receive system prompts, and unable to know durability attributes and repair status, crucially unable to open the wheel-operating panel, thus unable to steer.
Additionally, there’s no way to form a fleet, sell them, or enter port, and so on. Of course, if it’s a particularly simple structure like a rowing ship without a wheel, a small sailboat, players can still barely drive it, just like the giant paddle ship Da Fei snatched in hell. However, as they say, even a wooden log raft floating on water, players can still steer. Habbit Village has always just used rafts, no mention of ship certificates.
Catherine asked again: "Although we’ve captured them, how do we settle them? We can’t bring them along the entire journey with us, can we?"
Da Fei sighed: "We have to find Death Angel Samiel and settle them there. After all, it’s the Nether Sea, they have nowhere to escape. Moreover, the Vortex Crystal only has two uses, one for entering and one for exiting the Nether Sea. If we use it when we exit, we won’t be able to return again, so we have to find Samiel to recharge the Vortex Crystal."
Catherine frowned: "So, we have to delay for a while?"
Just then, a vicious-looking NPC pirate behind Catherine shook his head and sighed: "Miss, the Golden Spearfish is finished, without major repairs, it’s impossible to continue."
Da Fei asked anxiously: "This is?"
Catherine smiled: "My father’s loyal subordinates, now they’re the only ones willing to help me."
Da Fei was deeply respectful: "There are loyal and righteous men even among pirates! Catherine, don’t worry, we will help you all the way to the end."
Catherine smiled: "It’s great to know you, Captain! Then let’s hurry and go to the Death Angel’s place."
