There is no doubt that these vicious-looking pirates on the deck are actually Joanna's minions, and most of them have little actual combat experience, let alone play with the real vicious pirates.

They originally thought that what their young lady said about being a pirate was just running out to relax, and when they got tired of playing, they would go back and continue to live the peaceful and peaceful life they used to have.

But who would have thought that this rebellious girl would actually want to play for real.

"You...... How dare you disobey my orders?"

Seeing that everyone had no intention of turning the ship around, Joanna immediately became angry, drew a thin sword with more decorative meaning than practical use, and tried to stab people several times, but at the last moment could not do so.

"My dear, do you know what you have to do as the captain of a pirate ship?" Zhang Cheng whispered like a devil in the girl's ear.

"What is it?" asked Joanna, holding back her anger and not looking back.

Zhang Cheng smiled slightly, and replied meaningfully: "It is to maintain your own authority! You must make everyone afraid of you! Afraid of you! In this way, you can make this group of outlaws obey orders." Don't be afraid to kill, if you back down at this point, you will lose the awe of the crew, and thus the sense of awe. ”

As the last word fell, Joanna's pupils contracted suddenly, and then with lightning speed, she poked the thin sword in her hand forward.

Burst!

Moment!

The sharp tip of the sword pierced the neck of an unlucky bastard.

Despite his desperate attempts to cover the wound that kept spurting blood, it was all in vain, and within seconds he collapsed to the ground convulsing and swallowing his last breath.

The eyes of more than forty sailors, including Lao Banku, widened their eyes, as if they couldn't believe that the noble lady, who was usually a little naughty and rebellious, but always very kind, actually killed a servant who had followed him for ten years without mercy.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Zhang Cheng applauded and whispered approvingly: "Well done! The best way to deal with those who dare to challenge your authority is to punish them with pain, blood, and death." Now, try to give them orders again, and I promise you'll get a very different result. ”

"Turn the ship's bow! Immediately! Immediately! Don't make me say it a third time!"

I don't know if it's because of the first killing, Joanna's heart beats several times faster than usual, and a faint trace of magical energy is revealed all over her body.

"Yes, Captain!" Old Banku subconsciously shuddered, saluted respectfully, and then quickly spun the rudder, made a 180-degree turn, and rushed towards the Sea Serpent, which was more than ten times larger than the ship under his feet.

......

Because both sides were accelerating, in just a dozen minutes or so, the two ships were close enough to start a long-range attack.

Ballistae mounted on both sides of the deck were the first to fire, throwing stone projectiles the size of adult fists, and crossbowmen adjusted their angles to shoot at the enemy's deck.

Of course, as for the accuracy......

It's about the same as a little bit.,If you hit, you'll earn it.,It's completely reasonable to hit if you don't hit.。

This kind of rookie pecking lasted for about two or three rounds, and finally reached the most important part of the gang jumping.

There is no skill to speak of, it is basically to lower the sails and make a collision with the enemy ship from the side by inertia, then throw the hook and climb the rope onto the enemy ship, and engage in a bloody and brutal hand-to-hand combat, the winner gets everything, and the loser is captured and put in the hold of the ship, and sold to slave traders when it comes to port.

However, Joanna's ship was relatively small, so she suffered a big loss when it collided, and was almost not directly knocked over by the other party, and many unlucky people fell into the sea.

The enemy ship only shook slightly, and then began to take advantage of the condescending advantage to jump down and kill.

In the blink of an eye, about half of the sailors on deck were already lying in pools of blood, and their lives were unknown.

During the whole process, Zhang Cheng stood aside and watched, without the slightest intention of making a move.

Because he discovered that the undead captain Lines was not a stranger, but a necromancer from the underworld.

Especially those living corpses that have been treated with magic embalming, each of which perfectly retains the abilities of life, and dealing with ordinary sailors is simply a knife to kill chickens.

No wonder it can make countless people frightened!

"Surrender or die!" Lines stood at the edge of the deck, condescendingly giving an ultimatum.

Obviously, he wasn't as cruel and bloodthirsty as rumored, and he didn't want to do too much senseless killing.

After all, in this era of extreme scarcity of labor, the price of every healthy slave is quite expensive, not to mention that there is a beautiful girl like Joanna, who looks like a nobleman, and she is brought to the eastern continent to sell, and I believe that many lords are willing to pay a large price.

Seeing that the remaining survivors on the deck were frightened by the momentum of the other party, Zhang Cheng stood up without hurry, and teased with a playful face: "Surrender?

"Kill him!" Lines, apparently not liking to be provoked, gave the order to kill his men and the living corpses.

But before those vicious pirates could react, those corpses that were originally under his control immediately turned the spearhead and began to attack the surrounding accomplices frantically.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were killed on the spot, and even Lines himself was forced to retreat, trying several times to regain control, but ultimately failed.

In desperation, he could only retreat while releasing the soul spell to weaken the living corpse attacking him, and the whole person looked embarrassed.

"Hehe, aren't you going to kill me, why don't you do it yet?" Zhang Cheng flashed in a short distance, directly crossed the height difference between the two ships, and suddenly appeared beside the other party, his tone full of mockery.

"Leave me alone, I'm willing to give you all my wealth and pledge my allegiance to you!" shouted Lanes as he staggered to the ground to dodge the attack of the living corpses.

Only then did he realize that the extremely young-looking man in front of him was actually a spellcaster countless times stronger than himself, and immediately begged for mercy without thinking.

As for self-esteem and discipline, what is it, can you eat it?

In this era of extremely difficult survival, surviving is more important than anything else, even becoming a humble slave is a hundred times better than dying with self-respect.

Life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown.

Such sentences can only be written by idiot poets who do not worry about food and clothing, and only know how to moan without illness.

When faced with an existential crisis, what they do is often uglier than that of ordinary people.

"Sorry, I don't think I said that. Zhang Cheng pretended to spread his hands helplessly, and then asked the girl who was standing on the spot and hadn't reacted yet: "Dear captain, this guy said that he wanted to surrender and was willing to sacrifice all his treasures and be loyal to you, are you willing to accept it?"

"No! No, I'm going to cut off his head!" Joanna looked at the dead servants on the deck, her eyes slightly reddened, and her eyes revealed undisguised hatred.

"I'm sorry, but my captain won't accept your offer, so please die. Zhang Cheng casually stretched out a finger.

Moment!

An astonishing wave of negative energy pierced Lines' body!

Before he could even scream, a large amount of black blood flowed from his nostrils, eyes, and mouth, and he fell on the deck on his back, not moving......
