Pirate System

( ) The sky was covered with clouds, and the clouds were very low, as if they were about to collapse. The sunlight was blocked, and the red color of the past was gone, leaving only a semicircle of pale white. There are crows standing on the corners and eaves, looking around with their small round eyes. There are also crows flying in the sky, scattering lonely black feathers, like a death sentence. The cries of crows echoed in the air, and there was no sadder music than this.

Under the clouds is a port square. In the past, this place was bustling with people, singing and dancing, but now all the laughter has disappeared, leaving only the heavy pressure of death.

A group of pirates and their families were kneeling on the ground, lined up in five rows, totaling about eighty people. There are old and young among them, and they are all mixed. It is actually inaccurate to say that they are pirates. Only a small number of them are pirates, and the rest are just merchants who make a living in the port and have not participated in plundering.

There were hundreds of sailors surrounding the pirates, standing ready with solemn expressions, holding long muskets in their hands and scimitars at their waists.

This port happens to be called "Scienceet", and it is a port on the east coast of the Khorvaire continent. The natural environment here is very harsh, and there are many rocks on the seaside. This is the only small port that exists for hundreds of sea miles along the coast. Scimitar Port does not belong to the jurisdiction of any force. It is a lawless place. It usually entertains passing ships, most of which are pirate ships. It is a veritable "white land".

In the past, there was a skull and crossbones flag with no special symbol, but today it has been replaced by the national flag of Xi Yao Kingdom, with a luminous sword painted on it.

The war between the three major forces of the Two Nations Alliance, the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the pirates has reached here. A fleet from the Xiyao Kingdom responsible for a surprise attack captured this port, making it a sea port for the Three Kingdoms Alliance. A place to stay. Although this foothold is far away from the Gemstone Sea, it is still at the junction of the east and west seas, and it is also a very important place.

The commander of Xi Yao Kingdom is the famous Major Sion. He is a sixth-level orc fighter who is loyal to Xi Yao Kingdom. He used to use a decapitating ax to kill many pirates, so he got the bloody nickname "The Decapitator" at sea.

The decapitator does not chop off other people's heads, but specializes in beheading pirates. He can behead one with one axe, no ambiguity.

Today is the day to execute the pirate captives, and the executioner is none other than Xian.

He took long strides and walked towards the prisoners step by step, making a dull sound of footsteps. The sound was like a death knell, striking at the hearts of the prisoners, bringing tearing fear. He had a ferocious face, his face was covered with hair, and a pair of fangs stretched out from the bottom right to his lips, glowing with cold light. On his back, he carried an incredibly large axe. The axe was silver-white and glowed coldly. The blade surface is sharp.

The footsteps stopped behind a person at the corner of the prisoner formation. This person was so frightened that he trembled and cried out. As I said just now, many of these people are just businessmen. But he doesn't have the courage of a pirate who is not afraid of life and death.

"Pastor, I'm about to start the execution. Please use your magic to alleviate the pain in these people's hearts." Sion said harshly.

"As you command. Sir, I will use my magic right away." The priest standing not far away lowered his head and agreed. Although he is a priest, the religious emblem on his body is not a cross. But a star and moon pattern. This pattern is the emblem of Asno religion, which evolved from the image of ancient characters. The meaning of ancient characters is holiness.

The pastor opened the thick Bible and recited the divine precepts recorded on it. Each word formed a power to soothe people's hearts, as if with magic power, changing the mood of the condemned prisoners.

Unlike the Holy Cross Cult, which is good at healing wounds, the Asno Cult focuses more on the magic of changing people's hearts.

The prisoners on death row were no longer afraid or crying. Instead, their hearts were filled with joy and they welcomed death with joy. This sounds ridiculous, but that's the current situation.

Now the execution can be carried out happily.

Xion unbuttoned the back and took off the decapitating axe. Even in the cloudy weather, the ax was still shining silver, just like it had just been forged. He raised the ax high, brewing strength, and purple fighting spirit appeared on his arm, but not much, because it didn't take much strength to cut off a head.

"Report!"

The moment the decapitating ax fell, a messenger rushed over from the direction of the seaside. He ran all the way in front of Xian, stamped the ground with one foot, pointed his palm to the side of his face, and gave a military salute.

"Say, what's the matter?" Xian turned his head and asked, but did not put down the decapitating axe.

"The lookout found a small boat approaching here on the sea. The boat looked very ordinary and was rowed by oars. There was a man sitting on it. He was wearing a captain's uniform. His appearance could not be seen clearly. There were two handles hanging on his waist. Sword. There is a flagpole standing in front of the bow of the ship, with a pirate flag flying on it. There is a dragon painted on the flag, which matches the flag of the Dragon Pirate Group." The messenger reported quickly.

"The flag of the Dragon Pirates?" Sion frowned and put down the ax in his hand, which meant that the news brought by the messenger was far more important than the execution, "Is there only one person on this ship? Are there any other ships at sea?"

"There was heavy fog on the sea just now. I couldn't see anything clearly. I don't know if there are any other ships besides this ship."

"It's all good, why did the heavy fog suddenly appear? There must be something weird here. The priest and the soldiers from the first and second teams are following me, and the rest are staying on standby." Xian ordered in a deep voice, carrying the decapitating ax on his back. Carrying it on his back, he strode towards the seaside.

The people named followed closely behind, forming a long queue. The remaining soldiers changed their formation, rearranged themselves, and surrounded the prisoners in the square.

Sienti sniffed and smelled a dangerous scent.

A person's strength and courage are equal. The man with the small boat dared to go alone to a port that had been captured by the navy, and even clearly flew a pirate flag, proving that he must not be an ordinary person. What's more, there is heavy fog on the sea, which is most likely caused by some kind of magical effect or some kind of treasure.

Although there are only a few people on the other side, it is probably more difficult to deal with than the entire Scimitar Harbor combined.

Xion walked to the port beach with a heavy heart. The place was in a mess due to the war bombings in the past few days. Many forts and houses were destroyed, and even the trestles were broken. He stood next to a collapsed house, took off the telescope hanging from his waist, and put it in front of his eyes. Looking towards the sea.

After scanning the telescope twice, I saw a slowly sailing boat on the sea.

There was a flagpole on the bow of the ship, with a pirate flag flying on it. There is a person sitting behind the flagpole. This person holds two oars and is rowing back and forth. The brim of his hat was pushed down so low that his face could not be seen clearly.

Xion frowned and stared at the people on the boat, thinking whether to negotiate or bombard them. At this juncture, he suddenly felt a cold feeling on the side of his neck, along with a sharp stinging sensation, as if someone had put a sword on his neck. He was shocked. He put down the telescope and tried to move his head.

"Don't move, otherwise today will be the day you die." A cold voice sounded, and the blade on Sion's neck came much closer, cutting the skin, causing large drops of blood to roll down.

The soldiers standing behind were in chaos. Only then did they realize that the commander had been restrained. They all raised their muskets and pointed them at the people behind the commander.

The person's body flickered in and out of light. Like a shadow or a puff of smoke, he was wearing black tights and a mask on his face. Only a pair of vicious eyes were exposed. In his hand he held a strange knife covered with snake-like carvings, and the blade was placed firmly on Sion's neck.

Only then did everyone realize that this was not a person, but an undead!

As expected, Xian didn't dare to move, but his face was still calm. He asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who my master is." Undead said coldly.

"Then who is your master?"

"It's really unnecessary to ask. You should have seen it with your telescope. The person in that small boat is my master. He is about to row over. I want you to line up to greet him quickly, and then move your boat and this port Offer it with both hands. If you obey me, I won't have to kill you."

"Hmph, that's ridiculous. Do you think that by putting a knife on my neck, you can make me, the decapitator Xion, capture without any help? If you had tried a sneak attack just now, my head would indeed be in danger, but in this situation Under the circumstances, you can’t cut off this head.”

"I can probably understand your words as a failure of negotiation." The undead exerted force on his hand and slashed hard with his knife.

At this moment of life and death, Xian suddenly aroused all the purple fighting spirit in his body, and used his fighting spirit to flick away the knife on his neck, saving his head. He used the force to retreat, took off the decapitating ax from his back, and slashed hard at the enemy behind him. The ax fell to the ground with a crash, and a wave of fighting energy flew out from the surface of the axe.

The knife failed, and so did the ax, and the undead disappeared into the dust kicked up by the axe.

The soldiers who were waiting around him immediately opened fire, and a series of gunshots were heard. The bullets came out, forming fiery red trails, intertwining into a fire net.

Xion grasped the handle of the ax with both hands and glanced around, looking for traces of the undead. He always hated such incorporeal enemies.

"No need to look for it, I will always be behind you." The undead appeared behind Sion at some point, swung the knife wrapped around a strange snake, and slashed out a slash.

Xion exerted the power of the sixth level of fighting spirit, his whole body shook, and he released a burst of purple fighting spirit, which exploded on the spot like a thunder. The undead was once again bounced away by the explosive fighting spirit, and disappeared unwillingly.

The priest, who was always gentle and gentle and did not participate in the war, came in handy. He chanted incantations, released magical spells, and held up the Bible in his hand, causing the book to shine brightly in all directions. This holy divine light is fatal to weak undead, and it also has a dispersing effect on powerful undead.

With the priest taking action, the undead could no longer show off its majesty and could only hide far away and stand on the high roof.

"You actually made a move against me. This is really a wrong decision. If you had listened to me, you could have avoided death. Once my master comes here in a boat, you will all be dead. He only needs one knife." We can burn this place to the ground." The undead stood on a high place and threatened with a cold and hoarse voice. He is the undead ninja Black who has recently joined the Dragon Pirates, and the master he mentioned is naturally Tang Ke.

On the boat, Tang Ke pushed up the brim of his captain's hat, revealing an oriental face with a frosty expression. (To be continued...)
