Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1276 - 863, Pirate Captain

Chapter 1276 -863, Pirate Captain

At sea, where sky meets water, the sunset spills.

Seabirds circle above the ocean, watching the approaching huge ship, emit several cries, then turn and flee into the distance.

The giant ship moves slowly across the sea surface, accompanied by groups of dolphins on both sides.

They occasionally leap out of the water, emitting several crisp calls.

With the blessing of the Sea God, the voyage is not only fast but also escorted by sea creatures in each sea area.

Sailing briskly, unimpeded all the way.

Fang Hao stands at the bow, eyes still fixed ahead, “This journey has been peaceful, if we were traveling this far on land, we’d surely encounter several bands of mountain bandits by now.”

Snake Woman Beiyehu, standing shoulder to shoulder, softly says, “There are also many pirates, who usually linger around the trade routes; other places are rarely encountered.”

The sea area is vast, beyond the shipping lanes, and it might take half a month without encountering another soul.

So it’s normal not to encounter pirates.

Of course, Beiyehu thinks it’s a good thing not to meet pirates, as it saves a lot of trouble.

But Fang Hao expresses some regret.

He actually hoped to encounter a few pirate ships to have a chance to gather some recruitment materials.

“I just hope there will be more enemies at the destination,” Fang Hao sighs.

Before setting sail from the Sea Tribe port, Fang Hao also learned about Skeleton Island from the ‘Sea King.’

According to the Sea King, Skeleton Island has a certain reputation.

Simply put, it’s a haven for pirates.

The vast sea naturally harbors many pirates.

Human Clan, Orcs, Sea Tribe, and others all have pirates.

And these pirates’ goods, which are hard to sell through legitimate means, hence the existence of Skeleton Island.

Skeleton Island serves as a market for pirates to offload their stolen goods.

Naturally, to intimidate these pirates, the strength of Skeleton Island itself cannot be too weak.

Beiyehu chuckles without responding.

She doesn’t quite understand what her lord wants to do, suddenly deciding to attack pirates.

And hoping there aren’t too few of them.

It’s puzzling…

Ding Ling Ling!!

The bell rings, and soon thereafter, the lookout tower shouts, “Fleet spotted to the front left, flying pirate flags.”

Having ascended to godhood, his senses have enhanced.

Looking towards the front left, only blurry dots are visible.

He pulls out a monocular telescope for a closer look.

He sees the distant fleet, five vessels in total, each with pirate flags hoisted on their masts.

A black flag with red-eyed python.

On the pirate ships’ decks, dozens of pirates dressed Orcs push slaves shackled in irons to the deck’s edge.

Sharp daggers slit the slaves’ throats, blood flowing into the sea, staining it red.

Among the pirates’ laughter, the bodies are also thrown into the sea, devoured cleanly by the blood-smelling sea monsters.

Meanwhile, the people on the pirate ships also notice the approaching giant ship.

They stop killing the slaves, shouting, and looking this way.

He lowers the telescope.

Demitrija, Beata, and several other heroes are also standing by.

Waiting for the next step of Fang Hao’s plan.

The others are alright, Beata is staring with big eyes expectantly.

Probably the first encounter with pirates; a bit curious.

Ahem!

He clears his throat and says, “Beata, take the Bone Dragon and wipe out the distant pirate ships. The slaves onboard are not in danger; no need to kill them.”

“Got it!” Beata shouts excitedly and runs towards the deck below.

Soon, a gap opens on the side of the giant ship.

A magnificent shining silver dragon, with hordes of Bone Dragon, sweeps towards the sea.

In the distance, seeing the swarms of draconian creatures, the pirates on deck fall into panic.

Running around and screaming, some try to wield their machetes to issue orders.

In the Chaos, the ships gradually turn, planning to flee into the distance.

Whoo!

Roar!

A howling wind sounds as the silver dragon swiftly passes, its large jaws spewing silvery Dragon Breath along the ship’s length.

Swarms of Bone Dragon follow closely.

Dragon Breath pours over and over onto the decks, pirates wailing and scrambling, swallowed by the Dragon Breath, turning into piles of White Bone.

The ships catch fierce fire, thick smoke covering the sky like clouds.

The hull breaks under the flames and then begins to sink.

Below the sea, myriad Undead of the Sea Tribe circle around the sinking ship.

Their long spears pierce through the struggling pirates in the water.

…

Undead Desert, Ashen City.

In the dimly lit dungeon corridor, well-equipped Undead guards, carrying meals, stride in.

With a clang, they open the cage.

They place a dinner, full of greasy dishes, on the table.

“Miss Cleolando, the meal is still hot; please eat soon,” the Undead speaks and turns to leave.

“Tomorrow?” Cleolando suddenly speaks, voice somewhat hoarse.

“More precisely, the day after tomorrow is your transformation ritual. In fact, many transmigrators wish to undergo this ritual; try to be open about it,” the Undead awkwardly comforts.

It’s odd for the Undead to comfort Living creatures about not fearing death.

Not only transmigrators, but each year numerous Living creatures with connections come to the Undead Desert seeking immortality.

But there are many types of transformations.

There is a clear difference between the wealthy Undead and the oppressed laborers.

Cleolando, who as a criminal will be transformed into an Undead, clearly belongs to the latter.

When the time comes, whether the Soul Fire exists or not is uncertain.

Eternally destined to be laboring skeletons.

“My people, haven’t they come to find me?” Cleolando hesitates and asks softly.

“From what I know, they’ve tried, but clearly to no avail,” the Undead replies.

Ah!

After a slight sigh, no more words were spoken.

The Undead relocked the cage, and the crisp sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Cleolando, after being silent for a while, swatted away the flies gathered on the table, picked up the tasteless food, and started to eat, tears the size of beans falling to the ground with a cracking sound.

“Are you ‘Cleolando’?”

Suddenly, a cold voice arose from behind.

Cleolando’s body shook violently, and the food he had barely started eating fell to the floor.

He swiftly retreated to one side, leaning against the wall, and looked warily towards the opposite side.

In the dim corner, a shadow began to twist and deform, gradually revealing a woman clad in leather armor with a graceful figure.

“You… who are you?” Cleolando asked nervously.

If it weren’t for her imminent death tomorrow, she might have screamed for help, alerting the guards outside to the noise inside.

“Don’t be nervous, I am a hero under Lord Fang Hao, specially here to find a way to rescue you,” said the woman from the shadows, introducing herself simply before sitting down at the bed strewn with straw.

The woman who appeared from the shadows was naturally Little You, responsible for the rescue mission.

However, finding the person was not going smoothly.

They were very unfamiliar with this city, and there was more than one dungeon.

It was only tonight that Little You, hidden in the shadow of the guard delivering food, entered the dungeon.

And found ‘Cleolando’.

Hearing the strange woman’s words, ‘Cleolando’ was initially startled, then delighted, exclaiming, “You said Mr. Fang Hao sent you to rescue me…”.

“If you speak any louder, it might make it harder to rescue you.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Cleolando realized her mistake and immediately apologized.

She had been confined in this damp, dark dungeon for half a month.

She had thought that with some arrangements, she would be able to leave.

But she didn’t expect the situation to be more serious than she thought.

Just a moment ago, when she heard she was about to die, she had already given up hope.

She planned to eat her fill and die content.

But hope appeared again, Mr. Fang Hao, whom she only met twice, arranged for someone to rescue her.

Little You, seeing the tears of ‘Cleolando’ falling, continued, “The day after tomorrow, what time is the transformation ceremony, and please explain the detailed route and location.”

“Alright!” Cleolando wiped her tears away and began to speak softly.

…

As the sky grew darker, the sea ship lit up bright flames.

At sea, the battle against the pirate fleet did not last long.

Whether it was Beata or the group of Bone Dragons, a completely overwhelming advantage was formed.

Dense Sea Tribe Undead gathered around the shipwrecks, slaughtering the pirates who fell into the water.

Tearing them into pieces.

Then, continuously going back and forth between the giant ship and the sea below, salvaging all the goods.

“My lord, the spoils of war have been tallied,” Demitrija, holding the hilt of his sword, strode back.

“How was the harvest?” Fang Hao walked down from the bow of the ship.

“Four intact pirate ships, over two thousand pieces of various armors and weapons, fifteen chests of currency tools, over three hundred grey-white stones, more than two hundred captives, and over seventy slaves,” reported Demitrija.

“What is the identity of these slaves?”

“After interrogation, they were from a merchant ship that was hijacked, and the people on the ship were taken captive.”

“What kind of merchant ship?”

“Textile and clothing, indeed some textile goods were found, but they were all burned by the big fire, nothing left.”

Fang Hao nodded, “Give them a sea ship and enough food, let them go.”

“Alright, my lord.” Demitrija agreed and walked briskly away.

…

Coming to the central deck, hundreds of people were seen kneeling.

From their attire, they were the pirates mentioned earlier.

[Orc Pirate Archer (Tier 6)]

[Orc Pirate Sailor (Tier 5)]

[Orc Pirate…]

Fang Hao walked step by step and finally stopped in front of an orc with its head down and red skin.

[Orc Pirate Captain (Tier 9)]

Captains…

Pirates and bandits should be similar.

Both belonging to a niche branch of factions, all troops named with the word pirate.

“Raise your head!” Fang Hao looked at the orc.

The orc avoiding eye contact slowly raised its head.

An ugly scar on his face and a pair of eyes filled with hatred.

“Why is your fleet here?”

The orc stared back and said coldly, “Should pirates be in bed? Just say what you want to ask.”

“Skeleton Island, you should be quite familiar with it, the garrison troops, heroes, who are those people?” Fang Hao asked directly.

Hearing this, all the pirates looked at him in shock.

The orc’s face also changed slightly, “You want to attack Skeleton Island?”

“It seems you know something.” Fang Hao smiled as he spoke.

From the shocked expressions of these pirates, it was confirmed they were very familiar with Skeleton Island.

“Yes, I’ll tell you… whatever you want to ask, I’ll tell you…” the orc captain murmured.

Clang!

The metal handcuffs behind him fell off.

The orc’s body shot up, his face showing ferocity and madness as he pounced towards Fang Hao.

If they could capture the tender-skinned man in front of them, they could escape.

Perhaps they could even take over this extravagant giant ship.

Fang Hao remained unphased as he watched the orc closing in.

Just as the orc was about to reach him, he calmly said, “You, kneel down!”

Thud!

The running orc, knees bending suddenly, fell to the ground.

Inertia slid him forward, leaving two bloodstains from his knees on the deck.
