As time passed, the battle below grew fiercer, and the situation became increasingly clear.

Adams and the hundred or so crew members of the Blood Moon Pirates, after activating the power of their Life Seeds, experienced a surge in strength and charged forward as if their lives were worthless.

Their opponents were none other than Earl Ining's soldiers, mainly at the second rank.

In terms of combat power, the difference between the two sides wasn't actually that great. Adams and his group were slightly stronger on average, possessing nearly thirty third-rank professionals.

In reality, the most suitable method for those soldiers to deal with this situation was to unleash energy attacks and mental attacks, especially the latter. After all, the recovery brought by the Flesh Seeds was primarily physical; mental injuries couldn't be healed.

However, how could those soldiers possess such "high-end" attacks? Their professions were all basic warrior classes, and close-combat professions capable of launching mental attacks were definitely not something these ordinary citizens could obtain.

In Ye Mo's eyes, there was no need to watch this battle any longer. Although many pirate crew members died due to excessive consumption of life force, the number of soldiers they killed was far greater.

Turning his gaze to the center of the battlefield, the Blood Moon Willow Demon Tree, Xiaoliu'er's main body, relied on sufficient life force to continuously release wood-type spells while using its willow branches to restrict the Earth Dragon Knight's movements.

As for that Rock Ridge Earth Dragon, it had already been killed by the King-level Life Drain. Currently, it lay motionless on the ground, exhausted from the excessive consumption of life force.

Seeing this, Ye Mo couldn't help but sigh. Xiaoliu'er's King-level Life Drain was too strong, especially effective against opponents confident in their physical strength. As long as it could touch the opponent, after a series of entanglements and restraints, the opponent's struggles would only weaken them, while Xiaoliu'er would only grow stronger.

However, it was precisely the outstanding performance of the willow branches that caused the Earth Dragon Knight to be extremely wary of it, preferring to endure other attacks to shatter and repel those willow branches.

After all, anyone who saw a creature stronger than themselves in terms of both defense and physical strength lose its combat power after being bound by the opponent for a short while would be extremely apprehensive.

This side was also nearing its end. It wouldn't be long before Xiaoliu'er could secure victory.

At this moment, Ye Mo turned his gaze to the last battlefield. Bai Ling, transformed into golden light due to her swiftness, was constantly battling the Light Swordsman, whose white light flickered. The collision of energies was even more intense than in the previous two battlefields.

However, compared to the beginning, the current Light Swordsman was somewhat disheveled, with a noticeable wound on his body from which blood flowed.

Logically speaking, their battle should have been evenly matched, lasting for a long time. After all, the agile Light Swordsman could gain many advantages against Bai Ling.

Unfortunately, not long after the battle began, the Light Swordsman's weapon was severed by Bai Ling's flying sword. It was this unexpected situation that instantly caused the Light Swordsman to fall into a disadvantageous position.

Although the Light Swordsman still didn't understand why his extremely precious magic sword had been damaged, Ye Mo was very clear about it. Before coming here, he had spent a fortune to successfully raise the first four characteristics of Bai Ling's Natal Flying Sword to Level 6, including the Sharpness and Spell-Breaking characteristics, both of which were targeted at defense.

With the blessing of such high-level characteristics, even if the sword was a magic sword of the light element type, even if it was a sharp sword forged primarily for hardness, as long as the equipment level didn't reach the fifth rank, the Natal Flying Sword would still easily sever it.

In this way, after losing his weapon, the Light Swordsman could only condense a qi sword with his fighting spirit, using his extreme agility to contend.

After watching, Ye Mo stopped in the air and nodded slightly. The overall situation was still very good. While there was an opportunity now, he should let the two of them have a good one-on-one fight.

Dazzling light continued to shine, and the sound of energy collisions was endless. The shouts and battle cries of the pirates and soldiers were also constant.

As time continued to pass, the entire ground was destroyed beyond recognition. Even the surrounding trees were cut down and blasted apart, leaving only fragments of shattered wood.

"Ah!" A roar of anger sounded.

The Earth Dragon Knight, who had been entangled for a long time, was finally ensnared by the willow branches. Under the Life Drain, the burly man instantly thinned out considerably, and the strength of his struggle weakened greatly. After his body became weak and his weapon slipped from his grasp, this famous fourth-rank great professional officially declared the failure of his battle.

Not far away, the Light Swordsman, attracted by his companion's voice, was momentarily dazed after seeing the Earth Dragon Knight defeated. Bai Ling seized the opportunity and unleashed several super-tier golden claws, hitting the target hard.

After the sound of the energy explosion, the Light Swordsman, already in poor condition, fell to the ground. He gritted his teeth, wanting to say something, but eventually fainted.

At this point, all three fourth-rank powerhouses of the enemy had been defeated.

Seeing this, Ye Mo moved his mind and communicated with Xiaoliu'er.

After a while, the willow branches hung up the Earth Dragon Knight, the Rock Ridge Earth Dragon, and the Light Swordsman. After receiving the telepathic message, Adams immediately began to persuade them to surrender.

Immediately, those soldiers whose attention was entirely focused on the battle saw this scene and instantly lost their fighting spirit. They all put down their weapons, raised their hands, and began to surrender.

There were also many among these people who didn't want to surrender, but under the choice of the majority, they could only helplessly surrender together.

At this point, the normal battle could be considered over, but only the battle here. Afterwards, he would have to have a good chat with Earl Ining, who sent people to attack him. Ye Mo thought this way.

The next things would be much more familiar. First, Xiaoliu'er would implant Flesh Seeds into the group of soldiers willing to surrender. In this way, he would have several hundred more subordinates.

Afterwards, through the King-level skill Life Transfer, Xiaoliu'er didn't take long to awaken the Light Swordsman and the Earth Dragon Knight.

Holding the transaction contract, Ye Mo carefully communicated with the two of them. In the end, the Light Swordsman, who would rather die than submit, was beheaded by Bai Ling, while the Earth Dragon Knight thought for a long time. After Ye Mo agreed to a condition, he chose to submit.

The condition was very simple, which was to help the other party's mount, the Rock Ridge Earth Dragon, to recover from its old injuries.

This was still something from the Earth Dragon Knight's past. When he had just broken through to the fourth rank, the expansion of his strength led him to venture into more dangerous places, so as to find a stronger path.

However, one is bound to get their shoes wet when walking by the river all the time. During one adventure, he encountered an extremely dangerous trap. In the end, he was lucky enough to be saved by his mount, the Rock Ridge Earth Dragon, but the Rock Ridge Earth Dragon itself was injured at its core. Although its strength didn't decline too much, its potential was greatly reduced, and its cultivation level remained unable to improve. Moreover, its vitality was constantly draining, leading to a significant decrease in its lifespan.

To this end, he sought many solutions, but either he lacked the funds or the ability. In short, he spent several years without finding any solution. Finally, Baron Eaning recruited him by offering a way to stop the Rock Ridge Earth Dragon's vitality from draining.

It can be said that for the Earth Dragon Knight, who no longer had any relatives, his mount, the Rock Ridge Earth Dragon, was his only family, and its importance to him was self-evident.

Therefore, Ye Mo was able to successfully subdue him by offering to heal his old injuries.

However, while he was subdued, he wouldn't reveal any information about Baron Eaning. Similarly, he wouldn't interfere during the upcoming battle. This was also part of the contract.

After a while, Ye Mo, standing in the center of the open space, sat on a reclining chair, propping up his chin, and looked at the thin man kneeling on the ground in front of him, who was the harbor master of Eaning Port.

"So that's how it is. Alright, you may step back," Ye Mo said, waving his hand as he fell into thought.

The harbor master thanked him repeatedly before quickly retreating to the back, standing alongside the soldiers.

It turned out that the Earl of Emerald Isle had already issued a bounty. No wonder the Baron Eaning here attacked him. It seems that the other party already knew about the destruction of those pirate groups.

"Let's make it quick. We can't stay in this place for too long," Ye Mo muttered to himself before standing up. After casting a sharp gaze at everyone, he said to the people beside him, "Adams, you follow that harbor master and take those people to move all the resources and wealth from their port. No problem, right?"

"No problem, Captain!" Adams puffed out his chest and shouted confidently and proudly. After experiencing the battle just now, his awe of Ye Mo had increased several folds. It could be said that he had never had such awe and admiration for Captain Thorns.

"Earth Dragon Knight, you go and protect their group. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Turning his head, Ye Mo looked at the Earth Dragon Knight, who had recovered most of his strength.

"No problem," the Earth Dragon Knight said in a muffled voice, his eyes calm.

Hearing this, Adams' eyes lit up with joy. With a Tier 4 expert helping, it would be much easier.

"Good, you guys set off now. I'll take people to Baron Eaning's Graylight Castle later. How dare they attack us? It's time to make them pay the price," Ye Mo said coldly. After putting away the reclining chair, he went to take two hundred newly surrendered soldiers and headed straight for the target.

Meanwhile, Adams, having gathered his men, proudly headed towards the port under the guidance of the harbor master.

… … … …

Eaning Island, a huge castle.

The plump Baron Eaning, accompanied by two maids and a squad of guards, walked on the ground outside the castle, inspecting his domain.

"I wonder how it's going over there. It's been so long; they should have captured those people, right?" Baron Eaning said, looking around with some boredom.

"Lord Baron, with the Earth Dragon Knight and the Light Swordmaster taking action, there will definitely be no problem," the guard captain said respectfully from behind.

Thinking about the previous performances of the two experts, Baron Eaning nodded. Indeed, since they had taken action, how could they possibly fail?

Just then.

Boom!

A huge explosion rang out from the city gate, shaking the earth. Baron Eaning, along with his guards and maids, was immediately stunned, clearly shocked by the situation.

Soon after, a huge magical barrier, centered on the main body of the castle, instantly unfolded, completely enveloping the entire Graylight Castle, including the walls.

It was at this moment that Baron Eaning, regaining his senses, looked over, his anger overflowing.

"You're all useless things! You few, immediately go to the city gate and drive away those intruders who dare to attack!"

After uttering the angry words, the six guards looked at each other, and finally looked at the guard captain together.

Biting his teeth, he glanced at the situation at the city gate, where explosions were ringing out again. The guard captain immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Lord Baron, we are your guards, and your safety is the most important thing."

"As for those daring thieves who dare to attack the castle, naturally others can handle them."

"Yes, Lord, have you forgotten that Mage Rein is also here? With him here, none of those thieves will be able to escape."

"… …"

Listening to the guards' repeated advice, Baron Eaning thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Mage Rein, as a Tier 4 Flame Archmage, was extremely powerful. With him here, and the magical barrier of the entire castle, there would definitely be no mistakes.

"Who is it! How dare you attack Graylight Castle! Are you tired of living!"

An old but full-bodied voice came from inside the castle, followed by a streak of red light. An old man with white hair, wearing a mage robe, flew into the air, conjuring spells as he flew towards the city wall.

"Lord, it's Mage Rein!"

"With Mage Rein taking action, there will be ashes everywhere again, hahaha."

Looking at Mage Rein flying past, all the guards had smiles on their faces. Even Baron Eaning's expression improved a lot, and he nodded and said, "I didn't expect Mage Rein to be so fast. I must reward him well later."

At this time, the elderly Mage Rein had already flown to the top of the city wall, but at this moment, the rage on his face had dissipated, replaced by a look of horror.

Because, in front of him, in addition to the hundreds of Tier 3 Flesh Blood Flying Wolves constantly spewing energy balls to attack the barrier, there were also nearly forty Tier 4 Flesh Blood Giant Apes gathering energy, as well as the simple-minded Han Han, who was clearly exuding a Tier 3 aura, but the energy fluctuations it condensed were even stronger than Tier 4.

"This!" His pupils widened. Seeing this scene, Mage Rein understood that he was definitely not a match. In horror, he prepared to fly back immediately.

It was at this moment that Ye Mo, seeing the other party below, raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Attack!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The charged red energy balls instantly flew out, carrying powerful force, and slammed heavily on the barrier. After a burst of bright light, without even supporting it for a moment, the entire barrier was blasted with a hole.

Then, a beam of lightning carrying destructive power instantly flew out, cutting through the sky, and in the blink of an eye, along with those energy balls, it hit Mage Rein, causing him to instantly turn into ashes, without even letting out a scream.

The knights and soldiers in the castle who were rushing towards the city gate witnessed this scene, and all felt fear and despair.

As for Baron Eaning, who was still talking about rewards, he had already collapsed to the ground, too terrified to speak.
