Chapter 223: Taking Down the Red Beard Pirates (Please subscribe and vote!)
Red Beard's voice was heard in the sea fog.
On the small fishing boat, Wizard Novi narrowed his eyes and stared at the pirate ship that came out of the black fog, as if he wanted to see the true appearance of the pirate ship through the black fog.
The pirate ship gradually approached, and on the deck a sturdy man over two meters tall with a red beard that danced like flames appeared in everyone's sight.
The sturdy man's distinctive appearance makes him instantly recognizable as the famous pirate king, Redbeard, who dominates the waters off the coast of the Kingdom of Lorendan.
Red Beard's face was dark, and he looked like an evil man with a ferocious expression. When he got closer and saw Master Novi, Red Beard's face immediately became gloomy.
Although he and Novi had some friendship, it was in the past after all. He was the pirate king and Novi was the wizard of the Night Watch. The friendship between officials and bandits was just an exchange of interests, not friendship.
Now that they met again, Novi had actually taken off his official uniform as a Night's Watch mage and put on the identity of a cultist of Poseidon, which was something Red Beard had not expected.
Although his expression was ugly, Red Beard did not get angry on the spot.
When Novi informed him through your men in The Hague, he said that he had a good thing to discuss with him in detail. Red Beard was very interested in the good thing that Novi mentioned.
But he was also a little hesitant in his heart. After all, no one who was related to a madman like the Poseidon Cult was easy to deal with.
Novi and others were welcomed onto the pirate ship. Red Beard waved his hand and pirates came out from all over the pirate ship, shouting and surrounding Novi and others on the deck.
"Red Beard, what do you want to do?" Novi glanced at Red Beard's men and asked knowingly.
Red Beard coughed lightly, grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and said with a fierce smile:
"Master Novi, didn't you send a message saying that you had an important matter to discuss with me? My subordinates are also very interested and begged me to let them listen. Brothers, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Boss, just let us hear it!"
"Please, please, boss!"
As soon as Red Beard's voice fell, it immediately attracted the echoes of the pirates on the pirate ship. The voices were loud and noisy, and the momentum was terrifying.
"It's just a small show, who are you trying to scare?"
Novi shook his head speechlessly, not taking the other pirates on the deck seriously at all.
On the Red Beard pirate ship, the only ones who can fight are Red Beard, his first mate and second mate. Both of them are junior mages who have opened up their spiritual orifices. The other pirate sailors have only learned some techniques to strengthen their bodies or strengthen their spirits, and they are only good enough to deal with ordinary people.
But in the battle of mages, it seems insignificant.
They are not as rich as the Kingdom of Lorendan, which equips the strong men in its army with advanced steam weapons. It is considered good enough for these pirates to have a decent set of armor and weapons.
Facing Red Beard, Novi said directly without beating around the bush:
"My purpose for contacting your Red Beard Pirates this time is very simple!"
"Ahem! Listen up, everyone on the Red Beard pirate ship. If you surrender now and submit to my master, we can give you a chance to live! If you dare to resist, you will be killed without mercy!"
Novi's voice was calm, but he said something that made the entire Red Beard Pirates furious.
As soon as these words were spoken, the pirate ship fell into silence, with only the sound of waves hitting the bottom of the ship.
After hearing what Master Novi said, Red Beard was furious.
"Who do you think you are? Even if you join the Poseidon Cult, don't even think about making our Red Beard Pirates surrender. It's impossible. Go to hell!"
Just as he said, their Red Beard Pirates were the strongest pirates roaming the waters near the Kingdom of Lorendan, robbing people on the road and doing all kinds of evil.
How could the Poseidon Cult alone be able to suppress Red Beard?
If the name alone could intimidate them, their pirate group would not sail around the sea robbing everywhere. The name of the Kingdom of Lorendan is comparable to that of the Sea God Cult, which is now a lost dog.
Before he finished his words, Red Beard roared, took a step back, and a powerful and violent mental force surged out from the spiritual orifice in his brain and directly poured into the pirate ship under his feet.
The energy of the star realm mixed with Red Beard's spiritual power was injected into the pirate ship. Suddenly, a silver moon appeared faintly in the sky. Under the moonlight, the entire pirate ship under Red Beard's feet immediately underwent earth-shaking changes.
The hull was decayed, the wooden deck turned into dark brown corpses, the masts turned into smooth white bones, the sails turned into bloody human skins, and the pirates who were standing in various places on the ship just now turned into sea monster undeads. Two points of green soul fire in their dark pupils stared at Novi and others, and strange noises came from the throats of the rotten corpses, as if they wanted to devour the flesh and blood of Novi and others.
At this time, Red Beard had turned into an octopus-faced sea monster over six meters long, carrying a huge dark brown anchor on his shoulder. His iconic red beard had turned into a bunch of wriggling and twisted bright red tentacles, looking weird and strange.
Red Beard started to move and waved the anchor in his hand.
Amid the sound of chains colliding, the huge black anchor smashed towards the face of the Novi wizard like a meteor.
Seeing the attack coming, the two villagers standing behind Master Novi immediately conjured up two rock shields. The thick ochre light on the shields suddenly surged up, connecting the two shields into one and blocking Novi in front of him.
when!
The heavy black anchor smashed into the rock shields erected by the two villagers, instantly shattering the yellow light on the rock shields and breaking the Wu Earth Spiritual Light protection activated by the villagers. The tremendous force passed through the shields into the villagers' bodies, immediately knocking the two villagers flying back and falling to the ground.
Seeing this scene, there was a burst of cheers like ghosts and wolves howling on the pirate ship, and the morale of the pirates who had become undead sea monsters was greatly boosted.
"Novi, is this what you rely on? It's not good enough!"
Redbeard was merciless in words, but he was a little shocked in his heart, and a hint of fear flashed in his ferocious eyes. He had used all his strength in the previous attack, intending to kill Master Novi with one blow and put an end to his future troubles.
But the anchor just now only hit the two guards behind the Novi Wizard. The defensive capabilities of the two shield guards were beyond Red Beard's imagination.
"Haha, Red Beard, you are so stupid! If I dare to ask you to surrender, how could I not have any trump cards in my hand!"
Novi helped up the villagers who fell to the ground. The two villagers were just hit hard and their blood was boiling, but they were not seriously injured.
They originally specialized in the earthly magic of the Wu Earth Mountain Treasure Seal, and the Wu Earth Spiritual Light magic they cultivated was best at tempering the body and defense. After opening up the divine orifice, although they no longer had the ability to condense the spiritual realm, they became more and more adept at using the Wu Earth Spiritual Light, and their defense was greatly increased.
The two of them worked together to block Red Beard's attack without any problem. Although his blood and qi were shaken and he felt weak all over, he did not suffer much injury. After resting for two days, he was full of energy again.
Although lack of successors on the battlefield is fatal, they are not alone at this time.
He sent the two villagers who blocked the attack for him into the spiritual realm to recuperate. Novi began to mobilize people, and the villagers came out of the spiritual realm one by one. Within a few breaths, Novi was protected by thirty villagers in the center.
If the deck area of Red Beard's pirate ship was not limited, Novi could have mobilized some more people from Lu Feng's Qingmu Spirit Realm to let Red Beard see what power is!
Seeing this scene, the soul fire in the eyes of the pirates on the pirate ship showed a slight fluctuation, fear and despair filled their souls, and their morale suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Red Beard was the captain of the pirate ship and the most powerful person on the pirate ship. With his strength and the painstakingly built Dead Wreck Pirate Ship, he was considered a leader among the intermediate mages. Such a powerful person could not even kill the two guards beside Novi with his full strength, and in the blink of an eye, Novi had 30 more guards beside him. This difference in combat power really made Red Beard despair.
"There's more. Come out, big guys!" Novi chuckled and clapped his hands.
A crisp sound spread in all directions, and suddenly the wreckage of the pirate ship that was sailing steadily on the sea began to shake violently. The sea water around the ship suddenly splashed with huge waves, and huge tentacles stretched out from the sea and directly grabbed Red Beard's pirate ship.
"Deep sea giant monster!"
"The giant sea monster of the Poseidon Cult!"
The terrifying dead pirate ship seemed like a toy in the palm of the giant octopus's hands as it was played with by its tentacles.
The pirates on the pirate ship had also heard Red Beard talk about the horror of the Kraken of the Poseidon Cult. This time when they saw the Kraken with their own eyes, their already fearful hearts were struck hard and they became desperate.
With such a giant beast around, why are the Red Beard Pirates still struggling? If you had said so earlier, we would have surrendered directly!
Red Beard regretted it deeply, but Novi, who was opposite him, had already given the order again: "Attack!"
The eyes of the villagers guarding beside him lit up. They had been suppressed in the Qingmu Spiritual Realm for a long time. Now was finally the moment for them to display their divine power. They rushed into the pirates like lightning and displayed their divine power.
“Fight back, fight back!”
As the battle started, Red Beard knew he had no choice but to roar and command his pirates to fight back. Pirates are a desperate job, and they are used to life-and-death crises.
Although they were desperate, the pirates still launched a counterattack under the command of Red Beard.
A sparse rain of arrows shot at the villagers of Lufeng. The Red Beard Pirates did not have the money to use the high-end steam-powered weapons of the Kingdom of Lorendan, so they could only use the most primitive bows and arrows. Unfortunately, bows and arrows were not easy to preserve at sea, and the arrows shot by the pirates in the counterattack were difficult to form a scale. The arrows were shot on the shields in the hands of the villagers in front and were immediately bounced away.
The pirates' bows and arrows, due to their absolute inferior strength, could not cause any damage to the villagers. Soon, thirty villagers rushed into the pirates and attacked Red Beard's men wantonly.
The first and second mates under Red Beard immediately went up to help, but unfortunately they were soon entangled by the villagers and were busy fighting and had no time to take care of other things.
The villagers who have completed their transformation by practicing both the ways of Earthly Immortals and Western Region Wizards have become much stronger than those of their peers, with powerful bodies and solid mental strength.
Before the construction of the Mind Labyrinth, the primary mages relied on their strong mental power to cast illusions to confuse the enemy's mind, attack the enemy's mind, and then cooperate with a small number of captured astral monsters to fight the enemy together. Although they were both primary mages, the magic methods of the first and second mates under Red Beard were difficult to work on the villagers.
The villagers' bodies tempered by earth magic alone were enough to beat up the star monsters, and since they were mentally stable, they were not affected by the mental interference of the two pirate wizards at all, and they just went after them with two hammers.
Seeing his men's critical situation, Red Beard wanted to step forward and help them personally.
But Novi would never let him have an easy time. Although Novi's mental maze was destroyed and his strength declined, he still had the support of the octopus monster. The attack of the octopus monster alone made Red Beard complain bitterly. Coupled with Norway's mental interference, Red Beard was unable to take care of himself.
The pirates fought back frantically, but once they encountered the villagers, they were knocked to the ground in a few moves and had no power to get up again.
Soon, the villagers who besieged the pirates on the ship reaped the rewards and were the first to complete the task of clearing the pirate ship.
Looking at the pirates who had all fallen to the ground, the first and second mates of the Redbeard Pirate Ship had a flash of despair in their eyes, and said miserably: "It's over! How could it be so simple? How could the Poseidon Cult be so powerful?"
"Because our master is the greatest being!"
Voices rang in the ears of the first mate and the second mate. The villagers who had dealt with the pirates rushed forward. The two pirates were unable to put up any decent resistance and were subdued and captured by the villagers.
All his men were gone, and Red Beard looked miserable, saying resolutely:
"The Sea God has taught you guys to be so cruel, I will die with you!"
As he spoke, Red Beard's body swelled up, as if he was about to explode. Novi subconsciously stepped back a few steps. But Red Beard seized the opportunity, moved his body, and suddenly retreated.
Red Beard, who had a resolute look on his face just now, seized the opportunity to abandon his men and escape.
A strange red light ignited on Red Beard's body. It was obvious that he had used a special secret method. He suddenly burst out at a speed beyond Novi's expectations and fled from here in an emergency.
Novi wanted to chase him, but Red Beard was too fast and they instantly left each other behind. The giant octopus was huge and not suitable for hunting.
"I am the core of the Red Beard Pirates. As long as I am still here, the Red Beard Pirates will always be here!"
Having escaped from Novi's siege, Red Beard was delighted and laughed heartily.
"That's true, but can you escape?"
But at this moment, a young voice sounded in Red Beard's ears.
Looking up suddenly, Red Beard only saw a tall figure, and he himself was being captured by the tall figure, and no matter how he struggled, he could not escape.
