Chapter 424: Conspiracy
Somewhere in the deep sea of Jianwan, the remnants of the Sawa Fishman are resting in place. They had been frightened by the terrifying power of the legendary magic, and they did not dare to rest for days and nights, until now they could not hold on anymore and had to stop and rest for a while. It can be said that the raiding plans of the fish people have all failed, and due to the large number of deaths, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see them again for a long time from Sword Bay to Baojian Sea.
Jacques Houas sat on the soft sand of the seabed, looking at his half-remaining arm, and his face showed a hint of hideousness. Undoubtedly, this is what happens when you are rubbed by legendary magic. He touched the wound that had long healed, turned his head and asked the pastor next to him, "Have you found out?" Who was it that attacked us that day? β
"Got it checked. It was the human lord who killed King Bakendis and his army of 10,000 men, and his name was Henry. AncomΓ©. A fish-man who looked like a woman replied in a hoarse voice.
Jacques Houas frowned and asked, "So, this attack was in retaliation for us for destroying his city?" β
"I don't know, the way humans think is weird, I can't judge. But that magic is so powerful that we don't have any way to defend against it. After saying that, the fish-man priest sighed deeply. She is one of the very few people who knows the purpose of this operation, and the father of the Sawa Fishmen, Sekora, needs a huge soul to trade with the demons of hell, and if she can't get together, she may lose her divine grace.
"Bastard! Is this guy our nemesis? Jacques Houas cursed viciously. He was quite excited, and immediately got up and shouted at all the remaining kind: "Stand up for me!" You are the overlords of the seas! Sons and grandsons of the great Sekora! How can it be defeated by a human! β
At this time, a fish-man stood up cautiously and asked, "Can ...... How can you fight such a powerful enemy? He killed most of our warriors with just one spell. β
"Why fight head-on? It's perfectly possible to raid other places. I remember that this human lord seemed to have a territory in the southern archipelago, and he could have plundered its population and wealth. Jacques Houas's eyes lit up with hatred and cruelty.
He didn't want to admit his defeat. Then he slid back to the deep sea. You must know that the Shahua Fish Man adheres to the principle of eating the weak and the strong. Therefore, the punishment for the loser is quite cruel. Most of the time they were sent to the temple for a living sacrifice. Especially this time, it is a task assigned by the gods themselves, and if it is not completed, I am afraid that the soul will not be able to rest in peace after death.
"That's right! We can raid these islands, and even the most powerful mages will be helpless as long as we don't keep attacking one place. β
"Revenge! Be sure to give this human lord a little color! Let him know that the Sawa Fishman is not to be messed with. β
"One qiΔ for the glory of Saikola! Sacrifice the souls of those damned human beings to the Great Father. β
The new plan received numerous responses, and these mentally retarded, impulsive creatures quickly put their fears behind them and yelled in oblivion. Jacques Houas looked at the warriors who were regaining their morale, and a cruel smile appeared on his ugly face. He lowered his voice and said to the priest who had been following him, "Immediately use a spell to detect the location of the archipelago, and we will set off in an hour, this time by surprise." Fight to get together the rest of your souls. β
"You're on an adventure! If that human mage learns that his territory is under attack, he could come back and kill us all at any moment! "Priests are not simple-minded warriors with well-developed limbs. She knew very well what kind of power the legendary mages had, and if she wanted to, these terrifying creatures could instantly reach any place on the main plane.
Jacques Houas opened his mouth and sharpened his teeth hard, threatening: "If you don't want to be bitten to death immediately, shut me up, and then go to work honestly." We don't have much time left, and if we don't want to be tortured in the kingdom of God after we die, we do as I say. β
"You...... You don't think you're trying to count the souls of these fellow citizens?!!! The pastor asked, horrified.
"Hey, hey! He is truly a servant of the great Sekora, and his brain is a good one. But I'll take care of your mouth, or you'll ......," Jacques Hoyas said, grabbing a pebble and biting it into pieces. He did not hide the killing intent in his eyes, as long as the female fishman in front of him dared to resist the slightest intention, he would be bitten to death and eaten without hesitation.
The priest felt his whole body tremble and prayed incessantly to his deity. But there was only one response that came back, and that was obedience. Now it's all clear. It is clear that even the father of the Sawa Fishman supports this plan. She could only hold back her fear and bow slightly. "As you wish, in forty minutes I will finish divination and draw the chart on the shell."
"Very good, don't let me down, otherwise the consequences will be very severe." With that, Jacques Houas sat down and began to dispose of his severed arm, attempting to attach a sharp hook to it as a weapon. After all, as a legendary warrior, if you lose a hand, your combat effectiveness will drop very much, and you must find a way to make up for it.
An hour passed quickly, and the people who had been rested recovered some of their bodies and began to march southward. With their current speed, it will only take a few days to reach Angome, and a fierce battle is inevitable. After all, there were not many troops left on the island, and it was quite difficult to defend because it was surrounded by sea.

At the same time, as the sky began to darken, the selection of prisoners was nearing its end. Thanks to the assistance of several master torturers, the pirates, who had no loyalty at all, confessed everything they knew, and sorted out a fairly clear chart of the archipelago.
I have to say that this De Charik has performed the three holes of the cunning rabbit to the extreme. Even in the complex environment of the Nærancer Islands, he established twelve strongholds, could change his residence at any time, and hid the looted treasure in four secret locations.
When Henry saw this confession, he couldn't help but sigh to himself: No wonder this guy can sit firmly in the position of the pirate king. This caution alone is worth learning. After all, most pirates are uneducated. Basically, they spend as much as they can grab. There are so few people like this who can plan ahead.
After reading it, he returned the parchment to Anisha and asked, "How many of those captives are willing to follow us?" β
"More than one hundred and twenty people, the rest were quite afraid of Decharik, and would rather be sold into slavery than have the slightest thought of resisting. But I'd better not expect too much, these guys basically don't have much credibility to speak of, and maybe they will launch a rebellion and seize the ships as soon as they go to sea. β
"It's okay, I've never expected their poor loyalty, and magic will make up for it perfectly." With that, Henry took a few steps in the direction of the cage, followed by a loud chant. A few seconds later, a black mist was released from his hand and burrowed into the nostrils of each pirate. It didn't take long for the person who inhaled the black mist to start shaking constantly, and then fell to the ground and fell asleep.
However, this sleep did not last long, and it took less than a minute for them to reopen their eyes. When they saw Henry, their eyes revealed fanaticism and adoration, and they all fell to their knees and shouted frantically: "Great master! Refers to the Supreme Lord! Let us be your humble servants! β
With a wicked smile on his face, Henry stretched out his hands and lifted them up. "Arise, my servants. You're all brave warriors, and soon you'll be sailing out to sea to kill a guy named Decharik. Remember. He's a shameful traitor, so don't show mercy. β
"All those who dare to betray their masters should be burned to death!"
"Kill him!"
"Cut open his belly and feed the sharks!"
The pirates clenched their fists and shouted. Judging from his expression, he simply hated this pirate king. Especially those who were a little scared just now all of them have become equally fanatical and bloodthirsty. They banged on the bars of the iron cages, making a cacophony of noises.
Looking at the incredible scene in front of her, Anisha widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "What kind of spell is this?" It can have such an incredible effect. β
"It's nothing, it's just a sixth-level magic "group suggestion technique". It may not be very useful for advanced professionals, but it is more than enough to deal with low-strength pirates. Now put them all back on board, and when it gets dark, tell all the men to board and go out to sea. β
With that, Henry walked in the direction of the stairs. As they passed the cages on both sides of the basement, the pirates knelt down with their heads bowed as if they were greeting the king. He now felt that he was quite a bit of a (cult) leader, of course, people who were accused by the "suggestion technique" could not develop true faith, otherwise the priest of the evil god would have already used it on the common people.
Anisha sighed slightly and then ordered the thieves in charge of the guards, "Open the cage and send these people back to the ship in batches." Also, don't forget to hand them weapons. β
Half an hour later, the pirates returned to the harbor to take control of the two pirate ships, while Fidel, Kogan, and Viconia took to the deck. They are the main force in this operation, and as soon as Decharik's location is discovered, they will secretly carry out the decapitation plan. After all, the ultimate goal is to get a complete fleet, and if the scope of the impact is too large, the gains outweigh the losses.
Henry gave everyone a hug and admonished: "Don't be impulsive when you encounter problems, try to lock on to the target before starting." These pirates are all there to attract attention, so don't care too much about whether they're alive or dead. Remember, if you have trouble that you can't solve, activate that gem, and I'll be there in half a minute. β
"Don't have a snack, I'll cut off the pirate king's head." Kogan patted his chest and reassured.
Viconia stroked her long white hair and said with a smile, "I promise this operation will be very smooth." After all, pirates have limited combat power, and there are very few spellcasters. β
"That's right, it's not a challenge at all to deal with a warrior professional in his early tenths." As he spoke, Feder wagged his tail, looking a little eager to try.
Looking at the confident three, Henry nodded slightly. "Well, in that case, I'd like to wish you all the best of luck. Remember, try not to kill too many people, and leave the rest to Su Li. β
