"My lord, the new people sent by the Grand Duke are arriving soon. Should we proceed according to the previous plan?"

Inside the bright study, Earl Karl, the nominal lord of Azure Island, lowered his head and asked earnestly.

In front of him, Ye Mo sat behind his desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface, and replied calmly, "No, the people coming this time are not ordinary. According to the intelligence I just received, the Storm Law Saint is also coming."

Hearing this, Earl Karl's face showed shock, and he said in disbelief, "What? How is this possible!"

The Pioneer Chamber of Commerce they founded had only been formally established for a month. Although the enormous benefits behind it had sparked ideas in his sister, who was now the Grand Duke of Black Stone's wife, she had sent many people to 'assist' him.

But after all, the Chamber of Commerce had only been established for a month. In such a short time, the other party couldn't possibly have gathered much information. Therefore, even if they had greedy thoughts, it was impossible for them to send a guardian-level existence of the duchy.

This simply didn't make sense.

You must know that in the entire Black Stone Duchy, there were only three Fifth-Order Saints on the surface, and after the Black Rock Sword Saint died in the Blood Radiance Sea Area, there were only two left.

Moreover, this [Storm Law Saint] was not a powerhouse of the Black Stone Grand Duke's lineage, but a powerhouse from the Duke of Storm's family in the duchy, and the only Fifth-Order existence among the nobles other than the Grand Duke Black Stone family.

Such a powerhouse, even the Black Stone Grand Duke, would need to treat with respect. So how could the [Storm Law Saint] be sent here by the Black Stone Grand Duke?

Seeing Earl Karl's puzzled expression, Ye Mo chuckled and explained, "Don't worry, the purpose of the Storm Law Saint's visit is not you, but me."

"Is it you, my lord?" Earl Karl murmured, then suddenly realized, "Could it be that the Blood Moon... that you formed..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Mo nodded and smiled, "That's right, it's the Blood Moon Pirate Group."

"In the past month, I have led the Blood Moon Pirate Group to attack many nobles in the eastern region of the duchy, and the Black Stone Grand Duke has not taken any action, causing dissatisfaction among both the nobles and the common people."

"And the reason why the Black Stone Grand Duke still hasn't taken action in the face of this situation is because of the sudden fall of the Black Rock Sword Saint here, suspected to be the work of my Blood Moon Pirate Group."

"But now, what my Blood Moon Pirate Group is doing has exceeded the Black Stone Grand Duke's tolerance range. Therefore, the suspicion that the Black Rock Sword Saint was killed by my Blood Moon Pirate Group is no longer enough to deter the Black Stone Grand Duke and others."

"That's why, through interest negotiations, they allowed the veteran Fifth-Order powerhouse, the [Storm Law Saint] of the Duke of Storm's family, to come."

Hearing this, Earl Karl nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration. He knew that the Black Stone Grand Duke was at the very top of the entire duchy, and even such a figure was wary of his master. It was clear how correct his choice to join him was.

However, the [Storm Law Saint]'s deterrent power in terms of strength was much higher than that of the Black Stone Grand Duke. If such a powerhouse came, could Lord Blood Moon leave safely?

Thinking of this, Earl Karl, worried, raised his head and said cautiously, "My lord, although I know that you have extraordinary strength, the [Storm Law Saint] is, after all, a powerhouse who was famous throughout the sea more than a hundred years ago. Is it too risky for you to go in person?

Why don't you go to other islands for a while? As for the [Storm Law Saint], if I take action, he won't be able to find you."

Ye Mo waved his hand and said, "No need, I have made up my mind. Although the Storm Law Saint is extremely strong, I already have a way to deal with him. You can rest assured."

"By the way, after this is over, I will have the Golden Skeleton King make an appearance to support you. In this way, even if the Black Stone Grand Duke has more ideas in the future, he won't openly cause you trouble."

During this period, due to the rapid development of the established Pioneer Chamber of Commerce, those who coveted it were no longer just from the eastern region of the duchy. This could be seen from the Black Stone Grand Duke's wife repeatedly sending letters to Earl Karl, while arranging for many people to come to Azure Island.

Although those people who were prepared to be inserted had already sunk into the sea after being "unlucky" enough to be attacked by pirates on the way, continuing like this would definitely arouse suspicion.

So it would be better to reveal the prepared character, the Fifth-Order Necromancer who was living in seclusion on a deserted island, to support Earl Karl.

In this way, why the Pioneer Chamber of Commerce had so many rare resources and high-level spirit crystals, etc., could all have a pretty good reason.

After all, in the eyes of others, if the Pioneer Chamber of Commerce had a Fifth-Order Necromancer behind it, then having these things would be quite reasonable.

"I understand, Lord Blood Moon," Earl Karl replied with respect, and his eyes at this moment revealed a look of worship like a believer.

Ye Mo nodded slightly and said to Earl Karl in front of him, "Well, you can go and get busy."

Originally, for those people sent by the Black Stone Grand Duke's wife who wanted to control Azure Island, his first thought was to counter-control them, relying on transaction contracts to make them his own.

After all, transaction contracts could not be violated. Even if the success rate of signing was not high, as long as it was successfully signed, they would be good subordinates who didn't need to worry about betrayal.

This could be seen from the fact that he had many loyal internal agents from the Black Stone Grand Duke and the Duke of Storm's family during this period.

But unfortunately, he didn't know what the Grand Duke's wife was thinking. Almost all of the people she sent were people who had signed slave contracts, and the few Fourth-Order powerhouses were all her loyal subordinates.

For such people, it was impossible to get them to sign a transaction contract, so he chose to sink them to the bottom of the sea.

"Forget it, I should first notify Han Han and let him prepare. After all, he's facing a Fifth-Order alone. It would be troublesome if something unexpected happened," Ye Mo shook his head and said to himself.

That's right, this time, he planned to let Han Han go on stage alone to deal with the Fifth-Order [Storm Law Saint], and the reason for this, of course, was for a reason.

Now, the Blood Moon Pirate Group's threat to the Black Stone Duchy is well known, as evidenced by the Black Stone Grand Duke's transaction to bring the [Storm Law Saint] here.

Therefore, showing the strength of the Blood Moon Pirate Group is also very necessary.

As long as Han Han can fight the [Storm Law Saint] to a draw, it is expected that with this performance, it will be enough for the Black Stone Grand Duke to turn a blind eye to his plundering of the eastern islands.

After all, strength is the ultimate truth, and possessing Fifth Order strength is the ultimate truth here. Given that the Black Stone Grand Duke's family openly has only one Fifth Order expert left, they would not provoke a Fifth Order powerhouse unless they had absolute certainty of killing them.

As for the second and third reasons for letting Han Han fight, it was to test Han Han's current strength. After Han Han's multiple King-level skills were upgraded to Perfect level, and his domain became a Monarch-level domain, it has become very difficult to measure Han Han's current strength.

Although the Golden Skeleton King is also a Fifth Order, he is, after all, an undead creature, naturally restrained by Han Han's lightning. Moreover, the Skeleton King excels in defense, making it impossible to gauge anything from a fight. Therefore, letting him spar with the [Storm Magic Saint] will allow Han Han to better understand his own power.

As for safety factors, there's no need to worry too much. Not to mention that he would have the Golden Skeleton King and Bai You's Summoning Formation as backup at that time, just the [Storm Magic Saint]'s record is enough to reassure him.

According to what he knew, the [Storm Magic Saint], although a legendary figure who made a name for himself in the sea a hundred years ago, was actually quite average in terms of strength.

Back then, the [Black Rock Sword Saint] had sought him out for a friendly exchange. Although the [Storm Magic Saint] ultimately won the battle, it was not an easy victory.

From this, one could estimate the [Storm Magic Saint]'s strength. After all, not many years have passed since that exchange.

After making a decision in his heart, Ye Mo got up and flew directly out of the open window.

… … … …

Black Stone Duchy, within the boundless sea, a small fleet composed of three warships sailed slowly.

Although the scale was not large, in terms of deterrence, it was probably unmatched by even large fleets assembled by some nobles, because these warships were flying the flag of the Black Stone Grand Duke.

"Sir Magic Saint Renault."

A respectful voice rang out, and a middle-aged man in gold-threaded clothing walked onto the deck and respectfully called out to an old man with white hair in front.

Although he was the captain of this ship and a confidant of the Black Stone Grand Duchess, and his status was naturally not low, he was not even worthy to be considered dust compared to the person in front of him.

After all, the old man in the purple robe in front of him was one of the few Fifth Order Saint Domain-level guardians in the entire duchy, a big figure who had been famous in the sea for hundreds of years, known as the Storm family's guardian, Sir Renault Storm, the [Storm Magic Saint].

"What is it?"

A cold and stern voice rang out, and the [Storm Magic Saint] Renault turned his head, revealing sharp eyes from his hood, and his old face could not hide his powerful pressure.

"Sir, we have reached the East Sea area."

The middle-aged man, as the captain, lowered his head and said nervously.

The [Storm Magic Saint] Renault nodded slightly after hearing this, and said, "I know, you can step back."

"Yes."

With a sound, the middle-aged man wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and quickly left the deck.

The [Storm Magic Saint] Renault, who remained at the front of the deck, now revealed sharp eyes and stared at the wide sea ahead.

He came here this time because the Black Stone Grand Duke had offered him conditions that were difficult to refuse, so he came here to personally test the Blood Moon Pirate Group, which had suddenly become a major problem for the duchy.

He didn't care about this Blood Moon Pirate Group in his heart. After all, according to the existing information, although the Blood Moon Pirate Group's strength was good, it was still far from a true Fifth Order Saint Domain-level.

As for the fact that the Black Rock Sword Saint suddenly fell in the Blood Radiance Sea area, he didn't think it was caused by the Blood Moon Pirate Group. In his opinion, the probability of the Black Rock Sword Saint falling under the sea monsters was much greater than that of the Blood Moon Pirate Group.

After all, the strength of marine monsters is indeed terrifying, and it is very possible for some disaster-like existences to appear. After all, this kind of thing has happened before.

However, he was, after all, an experienced veteran Saint Domain-level powerhouse. Although he looked down on the Blood Moon Pirate Group in his heart, he did not miss any of the necessary preparations.

Whether it was a rare magic item for defense or a space magic scroll for escape, he brought everything he could bring.

After all, his family was not as good as the Black Stone Grand Duke's. If something happened to him, the entire Storm Marquis family might be destroyed, so he couldn't gamble on this possibility.

"Huh?"

The [Storm Magic Saint] Renault frowned, suddenly turned his head, and stared at the left side of the fleet. There, it seemed like something was coming.

Just as he was about to unleash his mental power to investigate, a figure suddenly rushed out of the captain's room. It was the middle-aged man from before, who was also the captain of this ship.

"Sir Magic Saint Renault, it's not good! A warship is rapidly approaching, and the target is us! The flag on that ship is the Blood Moon Flag, it must be the Blood Moon Pirate Group."

The middle-aged man ran out in a panic and shouted loudly.

Although he had never seen the Blood Moon Pirate Group, he knew a lot about them. After all, as the Duchess's confidant, he knew how the fleets sent by the Duchess to this place had been destroyed in the past.

Although it was not always an encounter with the Blood Moon Pirate Group, out of the three fleets dispatched before, two of them sank into the sea under the attack of the Blood Moon Pirate Group.

Under such circumstances, how could he not be afraid?

"I know, what are you panicking about with me here."

The [Storm Magic Saint] Renault, with blue robes and white hair, had a solemn expression and spoke calmly.

As soon as the words came out, the crew members on the ship, who knew that the Blood Moon Pirate Group was coming, breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, we have Sir Storm Magic Saint this time. If those pirates dare to target us, they are asking for trouble."

"That's great, with Sir Magic Saint here, presumably we can directly wipe out the Blood Moon Pirate Group this time."

Listening to the excited words of the crew members, listening to everyone's words of confidence in his strength, the [Storm Magic Saint] Renault did not react in any way. He just had a somber face, activated the space ring, and in an instant, he had several more magic items on his body.

"Blood Moon Pirate Group? Then let me personally test your strength."

After speaking, he did not fly away from the fleet without authorization, but waited quietly on the deck.

Although he knew that it was difficult for the news of his presence here to leak out, and the other party probably didn't know he was here, it was best to be careful in everything. Since the other party dared to come, he didn't need to take the risk of rushing over.

Otherwise, what if he ran into a trap?

The cautious [Storm Magic Saint] Renault nodded secretly in his heart, his eyes fixed on the distance.
