Extraordinary Sailing

at this time.

The battle between Alienated Roots and ordinary pirates has already ended first, including the only Transcendent Duncan, the captain of the "Thumb", pirate cadres, and ordinary pirates, all of them are tightly bound.

Even the bones of a small number of pirates had been roughly cut off by their roots. At this time, lying in the mud in the rain, they only dared to cry softly, for fear of attracting the attention of that terrible naval officer.

Ivan stepped forward, walked through the open space full of pirates, and entered the cave.

呲——

Under the surprised eyes of the two people on the ground, a sword cut off the rope on their bodies.

"Baldwin, how are you? Can you still stand up?" This unlucky guy who was unfortunately captured by Duncan was one of the four recruits who served on the "Conch" when Ivan first took office: Baldwin .

However, although he was captured in shame, his follow-up performance satisfied Aiwen, who had been watching him all the time, and his tone was gentle and did not mean to be harsh.

"Hiss—! No, I'm fine, Your Excellency the Captain. I've shamed our 'Conch' and you, please punish me!" Baldwin lowered his head and begged for Ivan's punishment, just moved slightly, and The blood-oozing welts on the clothes were pulled again, and there were bursts of stinging pain.

Ivan patted Baldwin on the shoulder and said in relief:

"It's not all your fault. A powerful Transcendent with the ability to hide is temporarily irresistible to you. And given the courage you showed today, I will no longer punish you.

But I hope you can remember the shame of being captured today, and turn it into a motivation to keep pushing yourself, so that one day you will have the power to avoid this kind of encounter for yourself and your comrades. "

"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain!" Baldwin stood at attention and saluted solemnly. Even though the stinging pain on his body was still there, his military posture was as firm as his heart at this moment!

At this time, Captain John, who had helped his crew untie the ropes, also returned to the cave. Although he was a little scared of the vines tied to the pirates outside, he could only choose to ignore it for the time being.

Come to Ivan and salute him respectfully:

"Major Ivan! Second Lieutenant John of the Fifth Class Ship of the Third Fleet USS Reef, thank you for your help! Thank you for saving the lives and futures of all of us!"

Ivan was not surprised that the captain knew him. There were only ten warships in the Third Fleet participating in the "Project Nova" to hunt pirates. At least for the naval officers on these ships, the captains of these ten warships would not be unrecognizable.

When Ai Wen returned the gift, he also asked the doubts in his heart:

"Captain, what are you?"

One sentence made the middle-aged captain feel sad, and sighed a few times to tell what happened to people like himself before.

Needless to say, the ten warships went to sea together, and the "Reef", which also did not go with other warships but chose to act alone, swam in the sea along a long-sea route of the "Tulip Alliance".

Although there is no fixed target, the idea of ​​the "Reef" is not wrong. After all, the main commercial routes are also the most frequent places for pirates chasing merchant ships like hungry wolves.

For most of the month, everything was calm, until the unexpected encounter with the "Thumb".

In fact, as a powerful kingdom navy, whether it is ships, equipment, artillery, personnel quality, etc., it surpasses pirates in an all-round way. At least in one-on-one head-to-head naval battles, the navy rarely suffers.

In many cases, the first choice for pirates to encounter a naval cruiser is to use a smaller and faster ship to escape directly. At the beginning, the naval officers and soldiers were also full of confidence and had an absolute psychological advantage over the pirates!

But in this naval battle, the navy did not get the favor of fate. As soon as the tentative artillery battle started, the "Reef" was accidentally hit by the main mast, directly losing most of its power.

Then, during the two hours of artillery fire and stalemate, "Chameleon" Duncan touched the ship from underwater. While the captain, who was the only official knight on the ship, was unprepared, he completed the beheading and most of it. Officer kill!

The "Reef", which had already been severely damaged and lost its command system, was quickly bombarded and sunk by pirates from a dead corner of defense. The crew members who survived by luck all became captives of the pirates and were rescued by Aiwen until now.

"As a colleague, I am very sympathetic to what happened to you. During the time at sea, you should temporarily stay on my 'Conch', and return to Gabrad together when you return to the voyage."

"Thank you, Your Excellency. Please rest assured that my crew and I will resolutely obey your command on board!" Captain John said very kindly, assuring himself that these people would abide by the rules on the "Conch" and would not cause trouble for Ivan of.

While talking, the crew of the "Conch" also came here under the leadership of Milan and Gary.

Under the subtle influence of Aiwen's various means, the crew members under him are no longer surprised by the captain's magical ability, but these soldiers of the original "Reef" are not.

Ivan asked Captain John to call the captured sailors into the cave. Under their surprised eyes, he smashed a gray-white potion bottle to the ground, and gray mist filled the closed space instantly.

Bang——

"Your Excellency, you"

Plop, plop

Before finishing a sentence, one by one fell down.

"Tomorrow, you will only remember that we defeated the pirates and rescued the captives. Forget about the messy roots that move."

Looking at the sailors who were slowly losing their sanity, Ai Wen said silently: "People's hearts cannot stand the test."

Just like at the beginning, Aiwen did not give the navy the opportunity to choose whether to join the pirates or rather die than surrender, and now he will not pin his secrets on the moral integrity of the sailors.

It's not like the carefully selected crew members, coupled with various follow-up methods, confirm that they can keep their secrets. Ivan couldn't be more credible than these ex-"Reef" officers and soldiers who had complicated thoughts and some of them had obviously wavered.

With my current background, even if the secret of being a wizard leaked out would not cause me too much trouble, it would still affect my development in the navy, so why bother?

After solving the problems of these captured sailors, Aiwen immediately put himself into intense aftermath work: "Milan, you take someone to receive the pirate ship, and don't let the remaining pirates find out that something is wrong and run away."

"Okay, leave it to me!" After an expedition, Milan's condition was pretty good, and immediately dispatched a navy squad to rush to the beach.

"Your Excellency, Captain, how do you deal with these pirates?" The first mate, Bog, came to Ivan's side and asked cautiously. The more he understood the captain's methods, the more he was in awe of him.

From the "Cape Statue·Monsoon Goddess" to the large flocks of seabirds that often stay on warships, from "Secret Treasure of the Sea·Mist Silver Lamp" to today's alienated roots.

Even if Aiwen has never admitted it himself, he has already realized the "extraordinary" of the captain. But, as he himself once said, what about wizards?

On the night when the "Mirage Starfish" was encountered, if not for the captain's efforts to turn the tide, the entire crew would have already become the sea monster's dinner.

Although most of the sailors on the sea believe in goddesses, they are even more thorough pragmatists!

Aiwen is also quite satisfied with the attitude of the first mate, Borg. He doesn't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked, and only cares about his own work. It seems that after such a long period of subtle influence through various means, this batch of teams has finally almost taken shape.

Hearing the chief mate's request, Ai Wen thought for a moment, then said directly: "It's useless, follow the rules."

Of course, according to regulations, the entire "Tulip Alliance" has only one death penalty for pirates!

"Obey!"

Watching the first officer take the order to leave, Ivan went straight to Duncan who was still lying on the ground. Regular pirates are worthless, but this one is different.

As a powerful Transcendent, he managed to hide the truth from the navy's intelligence system. He had been among the pirates for many years but was not listed as a wanted man. This guy didn't even exist in the information he collected.

The pirate who was suspected to be from the suicide organization "Griffon's Nest" acted cautiously enough.

To be honest, Aiwen has some love for talents. A skilled assassin is very useful even in the sea that is not conducive to hiding. Worst copying the beheading tactics he did to the captain of the "Reef", it is also a sharp and good knife!

Snapped--

Alvin snapped his fingers.

With a rustle, the vines binding Duncan's neck loosened automatically, giving him a chance to breathe again.

"'Chameleon' Duncan? You gave the navy soldiers a chance before, and now I will give you a chance too. How about leaving the pirate team and being my subordinate?"

"Ah--"

Duncan raised his eyelids, looked at the heroic naval officer in front of him and sneered, dismissing his proposal.

What's the difference between being a dog for the killer organization "Eagle's Nest" and being a dog for the powerful? If you still want to live a life that is more like a tool than a person, wouldn't it be good to go directly to the nobles?

It's just that I didn't expect that such a guy who became a navy captain at a young age is actually a wizard! There are simply more secrets than myself.

Although it is better to die than to live, but for Duncan to live like that, it is better to die heroically. Looking up at the dark sky, the lightning that pierced the sky was imprinted in his eyes:

"Being your subordinate? A wizard mixed into the kingdom's navy? Hahahaha"

Obviously, this killer's will is much firmer than some of the previous sailors. At least in Ivan's view, this guy's heart is as cold as his sword. He has seen too many bloody storms and joys and sorrows, and has been completely numb.

Even if you forcefully subdue this person, it will take a lot of energy and time to subdue his heart, and the gain outweighs the loss.

In addition, this guy has also killed multiple naval officers, including a naval captain, who has already cut off the way to return to the civilized world.

What's more, it would be very troublesome to get involved with a killer organization like "Grizzly Nest" for this guy. Even if he uses witchcraft to change his face, but with the characteristics of his ability, as long as he makes a move, he is likely to be recognized by experts. Is it necessary for him to silence the onlookers every time he makes a move?

Obviously, the value he showed was not worth the risk.

"Alas! My rare kindness is gone!"

After making a decision, he stopped worrying about gains and losses, and pressed his hand lightly on the hilt of the sword.

Clang——

The long sword returned to its sheath, and a lightning-like sword light pierced through the eyebrows of "Chameleon" Duncan on the ground.

Duncan's eyes were wide open, and the thunder in the sky was reflected in his pupils!

If there is an afterlife, I hope you can be as free as lightning and stop being a tool man. This is Aiwen's last kindness.

After confirming that the "assassin" did not use some means to feign his death, Aiwen ordered the sailors to drag him away. The corpse of a superhuman cannot be disposed of casually due to its characteristics, at least it must be completely burned when the weather is fine.

Otherwise, just throw it in the wilderness, and when I come to this island next time, I don't know what weird things will be waiting for me.

After dealing with the last thing, Ivan snapped his fingers.

The alienated roots dispersed one after another, and returned to the ruins to wait for Aiwen's next call.
