Pirate System
~: Scimitar Harbor
() The sky is covered with overcast clouds, and the cloud heads are so low that they seem to collapse. M The sunlight was blocked, and the redness of the past was gone, only the pale white color of the semicircle remained. There are crows standing on the eaves of the corners, looking around with small round eyes, and there are also crows flying in the sky, shedding lonely black feathers, like the verdict of death. The crow's cry echoed in the air, and there was no more miserable sorrow than this.
Beneath the clouds is a port square. In the past, it was crowded with people, singing and dancing, and it was very lively. Now all the laughter has disappeared, and only the heavy pressure of death is left.
A group of pirates and their families knelt on the ground, lined up in five columns, and together there were about 80 people. Among them, there are old and young, uneven. It is inaccurate to say that they are pirates. Only a small number of them are pirates, and the rest are just businessmen seeking a living in the port, and have not participated in looting.
Hundreds of sailors surrounded the pirates, ready to stand, with solemn expressions, long muskets in their hands, and machetes around their waists.
This port happens to be called "Scimitar". It is a port on the east coast of the Kovale Continent. The natural environment here is very harsh, and there are many reefs by the sea. There is only this small port along the coast for several hundred nautical miles. Scimitar Port does not belong to any sphere of influence. It is an impossible place. On weekdays, passing ships have been entertained, and most of them are pirate ships. It is a veritable "white land".
In the past, there was a skull flag with no special logo, but today it has been replaced with the national flag of Xiyao Kingdom, with a luminous sword drawn on the flag.
The war between the alliance of the two countries, the alliance of the three countries and the pirates has already burned here, and a fleet of Xiyao Kingdom in charge of the surprise attack captured this port, making it a sea for the three-nation coalition forces. foothold. Although this foothold is far away from the Gem Sea, it can be closely guarded at the junction of the east and west seas, which is also a very important place.
The commander of Xi Yaoguo is the famous Major Sion, a sixth-order orc fighter who is loyal to Xi Yaoguo. He used a decapitation axe and killed many pirates, so he got the **** nickname of "beheader" at sea.
Beheaders don't cut off other people's heads, they specifically cut off the heads of pirates, and they can cut off one with an axe. There is absolutely no ambiguity.
Today is the day to execute the prisoners of pirates, and the executioner is none other than Sion.
With big strides, he walked towards the captives, making dull footsteps. The sound was like a death knell, hitting the hearts of the captives, causing a tearing fear. He had a fierce look on his face, his face was full of hair, and a pair of fangs stretched out his lips from the bottom right to the top, with a cold light. On his back, he was carrying an unusually large axe. The axe was silver and white with a cold light. The blade is sharp.
The footsteps stopped behind a person in the corner of the captive formation. This person was trembling with fright, and wept babblingly—as I said earlier, many of these people are just businessmen. But there is no pirate that is not afraid of life and death.
"Pastor, I'm about to start the execution. Please do some magic on your behalf to ease the pain in these people's hearts." Sion said harshly.
"As ordered. Your Excellency, I'll perform the magic right away." The priest standing not far from the side bowed 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 religious emblem of Asnoism, which evolved from the image of ancient characters, which means holiness.
The pastor opened the thick Bible and recited the divine instruction recorded on it. Word by word formed a power to appease people's hearts, as if with magic power, changing the mood of the condemned prisoners.
Unlike Holy Cross, which is good at healing wounds, Asnoism focuses more on magical magic that changes people's hearts.
The death row prisoners were no longer afraid or weeping, but their hearts were filled with joy, and they greeted death with joy. It sounds ridiculous, but that's how it is now.
This time, the execution can be carried out happily.
Sion unbuttoned the back button and took off the decapitation axe. Even in cloudy weather, the axe was still shining silver, just like the one just forged. He raised the axe high, brewing strength, and purple vindictiveness appeared on his arm, but not much, because it didn't take much strength to chop off a head.
"Report!"
At the moment when the decapitation axe fell, a messenger rushed from the direction of the sea, ran all the way to Xion, stomped on the ground with one foot, and gave a military salute.
"Say, what's the matter." Sion twisted his hair and asked, but he didn't put down the decapitation axe.
"The watchman found a small boat approaching here on the sea. The boat looked very ordinary and was rowed by the oars. A person was sitting in the dress. He was wearing a captain's uniform, and he couldn't see his face clearly. There were two handles on his waist. Swords. In front of the bow stood a flagpole with a pirate flag flying on it, with a dragon painted on the flag, which matched the flag of the Dragon Pirates." The messenger reported quickly.
"The flag of the Evil Dragon Pirates?" Sion frowned and put down the axe in his hand, which meant that the news brought by the messenger was far more important than the execution, "Is this ship alone? Are there any other ships at sea?"
"It was foggy at sea just now, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I don't know if there are other ships besides this one."
"It's good, why did the fog suddenly appear? There must be something strange here. The priest and the soldiers from the first team and the second team came with me, and the rest stayed on standby." Sion ordered in a deep voice, carrying the beheading axe on his back. On his back, he strode towards the beach.
Those who were named followed closely behind, forming a long line. The remaining soldiers changed their formations and rearranged to surround the prisoners in the square.
Sion sniffed and smelled the danger.
Human strength and courage are equal. The person carrying the small boat dared to go to the port that has been occupied by the navy alone, and he also picked out the pirate flag to show that he must not be an ordinary person. What's more, there is also heavy fog on the sea, which is most likely caused by some kind of magic effect or some kind of treasure.
Regardless of the fact that there are only a few people on the other side, it is likely to be more difficult to deal with than the entire Scimitar Harbor combined.
Sion walked to the seaside of the port with a heavy heart. The place became a mess under the bombardment of the war a few days ago. Many forts and houses were destroyed, and even the trestle was broken. Standing beside a collapsed house, he took off the telescope hanging from his waist and put it in front of him. Looking out towards the sea.
The telescope glanced twice, and sure enough, I saw a slow sailing boat on the sea.
On the bow of the ship was a flagpole with a pirate flag flying on it. There was a man sitting behind the flagpole, who was rowing back and forth with two oars in hand. The brim of his hat was so low that he couldn't see his face at all.
Sean frowned and stared at the people on board, thinking about negotiating or shelling. At this juncture, the side of his neck suddenly felt a cold, with a sharp tingling sensation, as if someone had put a sword on his neck. He was horrified. He put down the binoculars, intending to move his head away.
"Don't move, or today will be your day of death." A cold voice sounded, and the blade on Xion's neck approached a lot, cutting the skin, causing large drops of blood to roll down.
The soldiers standing at the back were in chaos. Only at this moment did they realize that the commander had been restrained. They raised their muskets and aimed them at the people behind the commander.
The man's body flickered. Like a shadow, like a cloud of smoke, wearing black tights and a mask on his face. Only a pair of wicked eyes appeared. In his hand he held a strange knife that was covered with snake-shaped carvings, and the blade was firmly placed on Sion's neck.
Only then did everyone realize that this was not a person, but an undead!
Xion really didn't dare to move, but his face was still calm. Shen Sheng asked, "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?"
"What a question, you should have seen it with your binoculars. The man in that boat is my master. He is about to row over, and I want you to line up to greet you, and then take your boat and this port. With both hands. If you obey me obediently, I don't have much to kill."
"Hmph, it's ridiculous, do you think that if you put a knife on my neck, you will be able to make me the beheader. Xion will be captured? If you tried sneak attack just now, my head would indeed be in danger, but in this kind of In this case, you can't cut off this head."
"Your remarks, I should be able to understand that the negotiation failed." The undead made a force in his hand and slashed it down with a knife.
At this moment of life and death, Sion suddenly exhaled all the purple vindictive qi in his body, and used vindictive qi to bounce the knife around his neck, protecting his head. Taking advantage of his strength, he stepped back, took off the decapitation axe on his back, and slashed hard at the enemy behind him. The axe slammed to the ground, and a wave of fighting qi flew from the axe's face.
The knife failed, the axe also failed, and the undead disappeared into the dust lifted by the axe.
The soldiers who were waiting in the surrounding area immediately opened fire, and they heard a series of gunshots.
Sion clenched the handle of the axe with both hands, and glanced around, looking for traces of the undead. He had always hated this incorporeal enemy.
"Don't look for it, I'll always be behind you~lightnovelpub.net~ The undead appeared behind Xion at some point, wielding a knife wrapped around a strange snake and slashing a slash.
Xion exerted the power of the sixth-order fighting qi, and his whole body shook, releasing a purple fighting qi, which exploded in place like a thunderbolt. The undead was bounced off by the vindictive energy of the explosion again, and disappeared reluctantly.
The priest, who has always been polite and did not participate in the war, came in handy, chanted incantations, released magical techniques, held up the Bible in his hand, and made the book shine brightly in all directions. This holy divine light is deadly to weak undead, and also has a dispelling effect on powerful undead.
A priest made a move, and the undead could no longer show their prestige, so they could only avoid the distance and stand on the high roof.
"You actually shot me, this is really a wrong decision. If you listened to me obediently, you could have avoided death. Once my master arrives here in a boat, you are all dead, he only needs a knife It can raze this place to the ground." The undead stood at a high place, threatening with a cold hoarse voice. He is the newly joined Undead Ninja Hei in the Evil Dragon Pirates, and the master he mentioned is naturally Tangke.
On the boat, Tangke pushed up the brim of the captain's hat, revealing a frosty oriental face. (To be continued..)
