Chapter 870: Chapter 658: Threaded Rope Pirate Group
The Fishman youth’s heart skipped a beat.
This wasn’t the first time he received a divine revelation from Mei Lan.
The first time was when he rescued the Big Guy, trying to save them from the encirclement of the Earth Element army. At the critical moment, it was exactly by following the divine revelation of Mei Lan that the Fishman youth successfully deceived the Main God of the Earth Element.
To be honest, looking back on the first divine revelation, the youth couldn’t help but feel horrified.
The second time he received the divine revelation, the youth absorbed it a bit too quickly, more calmly than he had expected.
“Think carefully, back then Mei Lan and You Can cooperated to jointly construct this Super Magic Array.”
“Mei Lan must have known You Can’s plan to collect and condense the Death Divinity here.”
“So, it’s quite natural that He’s scheming for these Divine powers.”
The relationship between the two wasn’t close, and they cooperated only under the external pressure of severe circumstances.
“According to the Undead Master, Divinity is an important item for gods. The Undead Orthodoxy forces plan to trade these Death Divinities with the Death God.”
“Death Divinity…”
The Fishman youth’s Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed.
His inner desire grew stronger with time.
“I’ve even deceived the Main God of Earth Elements once, what does deceiving the Undead Master matter?”
“I’ve arranged everything else. Dao Hen, Hun Tong, Little Sweet, Da Dou… All these aspects are fine.”
“Let’s steal the Divinity and then leave here.”
The Fishman youth had a strong intuition that told him these Death Divinities would be greatly beneficial to him!
What he didn’t know was that while he was focusing on Dao Hen and trying to rally Hun Tong’s morale, something went wrong on the Big Guy’s side.
The Big Guy, Da Dou, and Hong Zhu were all captured in one fell swoop.
They were weak and powerless, firmly bound by three to five alchemy tools, and secretly placed on a sea ship.
The empire’s spy codenamed Awakening looked at the sea ship about to set sail with a frown, instructing, “This time going out, you must be careful and cautious.”
The person in charge of escorting the Big Guy and the others was indeed the leader who accompanied Tu Ji to search for them on Magnetic Island.
He nodded fiercely, “This time, I won’t make any mistakes.”
Awakening patted his shoulder, “Tu Ji died on Magnetic Island, even though the Main God of Earth Elements intervened, your troubles are not small either.”
“This time, I specially assigned you this task, making contributions is secondary. I also hope you can quickly come in contact with the empire’s investigator.”
The leader of Magnetic Island nodded, “Fortunately, this time the investigator is Tan Mo.”
“He is inherently greedy, although he’s very skilled at demanding bribes, he also values honesty. As long as he’s paid, he gets things done!”
Awakening nodded, “Please him, and at least the investigation report from this side of the empire’s spy will be favorable to you.”
“Alas, it’s a pity that this time, I have to personally oversee the big picture of Magnetic Island, I can’t leave for a while.”
The leader of Magnetic Island hurriedly understood, “Rest assured, Lord Awakening. This time you’ve given me so many riches, after I see Tan Mo, I’ll give them all to him, and he’ll definitely have a much better impression of you!”
“Good, good, I trust your handling. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have appointed you here to handle matters.”
“You lost out due to your luck.”
“It was unfortunate to encounter a member of the Blood Light Sanction Court, even more unfortunate that he died in battle.”
Awakening comforted with a few words.
The leader of Magnetic Island snorted coldly, “The people of the Blood Light Sanction Court are all lunatics, encountering such lunatics who disregard life and death, I can only accept my bad luck!”The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
Awakening patted his shoulder, “Alright, no more words. You should set sail now!”
“Yes, my lord.”
The fleet setting sail this time with the empire’s spy only consisted of three ships. On the surface, they appeared to be of Black Iron Level, but in reality, they were of Silver Level, and even had Golden Level alchemy components.
Awakening watched the small fleet leaving for a long time before turning back.
The three captives, including the Big Guy, were very important and needed to be sent away. Because the Magnetic Island was about to become very unsettled.
The empire’s spy will covertly assist, helping adventurers to form groups to wage war against the Earth Element tribes on Magnetic Island.
By then, the entire island would be in turmoil, and the difficulty of guarding the three important captives would increase significantly.
Although a castle had already been built on Wind Revival Island, it was still near Magnetic Island. Once the Main God of Earth Elements paid attention again, it would still be very unsafe.
Besides the Big Guy and the other two, the ship was also loaded with many Earth Element demon crystals, Earth Element essences, magnetic stones, and other materials.
Just after the empire’s spy’s three sea ships left Magnetic Island, a pirate group set their eyes on them.
The pirate flag fluttered in the wind.
The pirate flag had a pure white background, with numerous black lines interwoven, forming a pattern of crossed swords.
This was the Thread Pirates, who hadn’t been established long.
The pirate group had two leaders, one was the Living Rope Mage, and the other was the Cloud Piercing Archer.
They were once famous bounty hunters, but with the emergence of the pirate throne, pirate activities became rampant, and they switched careers to become pirates.
“The Greedy Divine Bone reacted!” the Cloud Piercing Archer excitedly stared at the bone in his hand.
Through the Magic Crystal Ball, the Living Rope Mage observed the three ships of the empire’s spy, “These three ships are all powered by demon energy, they look plain but unexpectedly hide treasures.”
The Cloud Piercing Archer’s eyes glinted with greedy light, “There’s upheaval on Magnetic Island, adventurers are actively organizing to exterminate the Earth Element tribes on the island.”
“Yet these people are leaving the island at this critical moment, there must be some trickery.”
“They are just three Black Iron Level ships, what are we waiting for?”
Originally, the two relied on the Greedy Divine Bone in their possession, which could indicate the most valuable items within a certain range, and moved constantly.
And, they repeatedly made gains.
They accidentally learned that there were drastic changes on the Magnetic Island, and they highly suspected that a great treasure on the island was about to emerge, so they came nearby.
Before this, the two had also landed on the Magnetic Island. At that time, they also used the Greedy Divine Bone and had no gains.
The rumors deliberately spread by the empire’s spies rekindled their hope. They thought that they couldn’t detect anything before because the treasure was sealed or concealed, blocking the Divine Bone’s induction, but now it was different.
They directed the pirate group, not rushing to land, but rather observing the situation.
After all, they were pirates. Hastily landing might provoke a joint siege by the adventurers.
During this observation and waiting, they found three Empire spy ships.
The Cloud Piercing Archer was eager to try, while the Living Rope Mage remained cautious: “Let me use my spell first to check their background.”
After probing, the Living Rope Mage also suppressed the excitement in his heart: “These three demon energy ships have mediocre defenses, let’s go all out and take them down!!”
The Rope Pirates aggressively charged forward.
And on the Empire’s spy ships, the leader frowned slightly: “Barely out from the island and already targeted by pirates?”
“Is my luck really so bad lately?”
“Hmph, Rope Pirate group? If you’re asking for death, then come.”
The Living Rope Mage couldn’t see through the Empire spy’s disguise. When he performed reconnaissance magic, he triggered an alarm on the Empire spy’s side, exposing himself first.
As Empire spies, their expertise was gathering intelligence.
So when the Rope Pirate group moved, they immediately confirmed the opponent’s identity.
The three Empire spy ships began accelerating.
“Slightly leave the Magnetic Island, fight near Wind Revival Island.” The leader began to deploy tactics.
On one hand, it was to avoid unnecessary attention by not engaging near Magnetic Island.
On the other hand, it shouldn’t be too far. If the battle goes poorly, they could still leverage nearby allied forces.
So, near Wind Revival Island was the best battlefield choice.
“They started running.”
“Haha, run, let’s see where you can escape to!”
The pirates became increasingly excited, rubbing their fists, their morale rapidly rising.
Moments later, they caught up with the three Empire spy ships.
BOOM BOOM BOOM…
Once the battle began, they were stunned by the firepower suddenly unleashed by the Empire spies.
Although the pirates had more ships, they were immediately suppressed.
This stirred the pirates’ viciousness.
The Cloud Piercing Archer loudly ordered, charge forth, initiate a boarding battle.
He and the Living Rope Mage attacked together, one shooting arrows, the other casting spells, attacking the Empire spy ships from afar.
The Empire spies fought while retreating, keeping their distance at all times.
The pirates charged for a while but failed to approach their ships, not to mention a failed boarding and lost two more ships in the concentrated fire during the charge.
A large number of pirates jumped ship to escape, the scene was chaotic.
Morale dropped sharply.
“Bosses, these enemies are not simple, let’s retreat!”
“Damn it, didn’t expect such a tough opponent.”
Many pirates requested, voluntarily asking to retreat.
The Cloud Piercing Archer and Living Rope Mage both looked grim. They lacked leadership skills, couldn’t boost morale, and their pirates also weren’t of high quality. It’s fine for them to fight when conditions are favorable, but once the battle goes poorly, the first thought is to retreat.
“Then… retreat.” The Living Rope Mage sighed and decisively ordered.
The Cloud Piercing Archer’s face darkened, but he did not object.
But at this moment, two Golden Level fighters suddenly attacked from underwater, boarded their ship, and charged toward them.
This drastic change startled the two, and they hurriedly retreated.
Soon, the naval battle ended.
The entire pirate group was annihilated, with countless pirates dead or injured.
Those who survived were captured by the Empire spies, made to serve as slaves, continuing fortress construction on Wind Revival Island.
The Cloud Piercing Archer died in battle, while the Living Rope Mage was captured alive.
As a spellcaster, he would be an advanced slave!
Although victorious, the fleet leader still worried: “The pirates are becoming more and more audacious.”
“Recently, due to the stimulation of Worry Relief Red Wine, this pack of hyenas on the sea are crazily roaming.”
“To be safe, use the Artificial Sea Current Accelerator.”
