Demon Royal Family

Ten Odin naval warships docked offshore, and a dozen longboats were put down to the island. More than 300 sailors guarded the fleet commander, a rear admiral.

Next to the rear admiral, stood a white-bearded old mage wearing a gorgeous mage robe. He looked kind-hearted, but there was a glint in his eyes from time to time.

Rear Admiral Jackson was very respectful to the old mage with white beard, "We stayed on this island for half a day to look for supplies. What do you think?"

The rear admiral has a distinguished status and would not be so respectful to ordinary mages. However, this old white-bearded mage is not a commoner, but a mage worshiped by the eminent nobleman of the empire, the Grand Duke "White Leopard", and enjoys a transcendent status.

There are ten dukes in the empire. Like Huther Hanton Wilson, the Grand Duke of Green Castle, the White Panther Grand Duke has his own principality, and there is a strong guardian in the family, and his status among the nobles is very noble.

The white-bearded old mage said calmly: "Half a day is too long. I'll give you two hours. Your Excellency the Grand Duke has specified that the body of the Mimic will be used as an alchemy material. Don't let the prey go."

Jackson nodded. His fleet pursued Ivo in order to serve the White Panther Archduke. He did not mind obeying the orders of the old mage with white beard.

The goals of the White Leopard Grand Duke and the empire are different. What the Grand Duke wants is Ivo's body. The information about the Mimic's reappearance in the world has been known to the major top forces. Among them, there are many people with ulterior motives who want the body of the Mimic. The value in alchemy, the White Leopard Grand Duke is one of them. He ordered Jackson and the old wizard Whitebeard to capture Ivo alive as much as possible to keep the active Mimic body, which is even more valuable.

Ten naval warships, with a total number of more than 2,000 people, required a huge amount of supplies. The sailors who came ashore quickly collected supplies, went deep into the island, and gradually approached the other side of the island...

…

Stepping onto the beach, the arches of your feet sink deeply into the soft sand, which feels comfortable and a little itchy.

After finally landing on the beach, Ivo couldn't help but relax, and the sailors didn't hesitate. After tying up the longboat, they ran and shouted on the beach to vent their anger.

The turtles on the beach moved slowly, away from the group of uninvited guests. The baby turtles lying on the backs of the mother turtles curiously looked at these upright-walking creatures.

The seabirds flew up and landed among the treetops, tilting their heads to observe the humans, as if they thought the sailors running around on the beach were stupid.

Hades looked at the sky and said expressionlessly: "It's noon now, we have four hours to collect resources."

Ivo nodded and called the two dozen sailors in front of him to assign work.

"This island is our last stop before entering Shen Wang Ocean. We need to collect enough resources on this island and divide into four teams. Gordo will lead five people to search for water sources, and Yamo will lead fifteen people to hunt. Collect edible plants by the way, brother boatmen, you lead twenty people to collect wood, store ship repair supplies and materials for making ballista ammunition, while the others are on alert."

The sailors looked at each other, "What are you doing, Captain?"

Ivo said solemnly: "Of course I'm going for a walk!"

The sailors cried out in grief and anger, "What a treacherous captain!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!" Ivo kicked Yamo in the ass and drove these lazy guys to work.

Yamo covered his butt and was about to cry, why did he only kick me?

The sailors were collecting supplies in full swing. Ivo and Hades walked along the coastline, preparing to explore the island and chatting casually.

Hades: "If our situation in the future is as bad as this month, the development power you mentioned will be far away."

Ivo didn't take it seriously, "The Emerald Sea is controlled by the Odin Empire, so it is naturally more dangerous. To develop power on the sea, all you need is manpower, equipment, and ships. Among the thirteen sea areas in the world, there are always some places that are not divided up by forces. Except Hokuriku and the continent of Odin, as well as the sea areas near Carthage, Muir and Abraham are all available for my development. Before landing on Abraham, I need to form a sufficient number of combatants. I cannot just recruit sailors, so I must control several islands. As a temporary base, we still have a lot of work to do to recruit new people, conduct training and training, and establish a self-sufficient resource chain."

Hades shook his head, "To realize your vision, you can only do it by controlling the resources of a sea area, that is, becoming the Pirate King."

"Thirteen sea areas, but only seven pirate kings, one more is nothing."

Hades nodded expressionlessly, "That's right."

A pirate king like Rothschild controls a sea area and has inexhaustible resources. This is Ivo's temporary goal. Only after accumulating enough power on the sea can he have the capital to proceed to the next stage and establish the Abraham Bank. The base camp has even established a power on Abraham that is not inferior to that of the country.

Hades asked: "What will you do after you have enough power?"

"Anyway, don't do good things." Ivo shrugged, his tone casual, "For example, blowing up all the ports in the Odin Empire."

"You want to take revenge on the world?" Hades paused and looked at Ivo, "In my impression, you don't seem like someone who would do such boring things."

Ivo chuckled and didn't answer. He was doing it not only to protect himself, but also to bring fear to the world. He didn't know how dangerous the resurgence of the catastrophe would be. Ivo always felt a little nervous about dealing with it alone.

He has always disliked the superior gods, but he is not as hostile as the pope, the patriarch, or the unbelievers. In his eyes, the relationship between gods and humans is very simple, that is, the relationship between the upper and lower levels of the food chain.

Just like humans tame sheep to collect wool, and gods tame humans to collect beliefs, everything is the law of the jungle in nature, and opposition is natural.

Human beings' belief in the gods is like a pet's dependence on its owner. This is Ivo's idea, tearing away all the whitewash and getting straight to the core reason, which is all natural predators of the weak and the strong.

The nature of resisting the gods is exactly the same as that of ancestors fighting beasts in ancient times, all in order to reach the top of the food chain.

It took countless years for humans to reach the upper reaches of the food chain, and beings further upstream were inherently enemies of humans.

It has nothing to do with any morals, principles, or ideas. This is an instinct engraved in human blood.

If a species wants to survive, it must keep climbing up the food chain until it has no natural enemies.

Ivo smiled helplessly. It seemed that he was not considered a human being now. Not only was he opposed to the gods, but he also had no sense of belonging to humans.

Looking at oneself without any pros and cons or calculations, it is just a life fighting according to instinct, transcending any reasons and reasons.

Hades took a deep look at Ivo, turned back to look forward, and said calmly: "Ivo, promise me something."

"What's up?"

"If one day in the future, I am no longer me, kill me."

Ivo was stunned for a moment, and Hades quickened his pace, leaving him with a silent back.
