Chapter XXXV. Property

After listening to this, I asked him very puzzledly: "Since you can find the pirate's lair, then why is it so difficult to seduce the pirate here, and kill the pirate's lair directly?" ”

He smiled at my question and said, "That would lose the meaning of this anti-piracy activity." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What is the point of eradicating piracy?" I was puzzled, "Isn't this kind of extermination operation just to eliminate pirates, even if it is for the purpose of military training, won't the battle to directly kill the pirates' lair be more intense?" The purpose of this training is not more obvious. ”

After I said this, the man stopped talking to me and said, "It is true that as you said, the purpose of directly killing and training troops is more obvious, but we are not just training troops, we are taking back our own property.

The original founders of Shadowfang Island were a group of dark mages who were defined as heretics by the Holy See of Light, or other people in the small Holy See who were almost destroyed, although some of them did do some heinous and even crazy things, but after the establishment of Shadowfang Island, they dedicated their all to this place, because this is their last and only place to live.

The Holy See of Light didn't know about this place at first, and there was nothing going on at that time. However, as the reputation of Shadow Tooth Island gradually spread and became more and more influential, the Holy See of Light began to notice this place, and sent undercover agents and spies from the teleportation array to infiltrate our organization, and after slowly learning about our origin, it decided to concentrate its efforts on destroying Shadow Tooth Island, not only the humans on it, but also the island.

The Shadowfang Autonomous Association, the actual control body of Shadowtooth Island, is basically a loose organization because it is composed of great magicians who only focus on magic, and although it is aware of the conspiracy of the Holy See of Light, it has not taken any effective precautions.

So when the Holy See of Light teleported the entire army over, the entire island was in chaos. Although in the end, the Great Elder at that time led a large number of magicians and killed three Seraphims and tens of thousands of warriors, monks and fanatics of the Holy See of Light, but the Great Elder and dozens of elders also assimilated into magic due to excessive use of magic and became magical elements.

After this war, the Council of Elders decided to shut down all magic circles leading to the continent, leaving only those of the Wizards' Guild and a few other chambers of commerce that could be confirmed as absolute allies.

It took a long time to recuperate before re-establishing the current Isle of Shadowtooth on the mess that had left the war. It was also since this war that the human race on Shadowtooth Island has been unprecedentedly united, and very repulsive to outsiders.

The Holy See of Light covered the sky on the mainland, of course, they would not be willing to such a fiasco, so they began to reorganize the navy and decided to go to sea to directly attack this island, this plan was exposed and announced to the world, it was opposed by most of the countries on the entire continent, and the influential magician union, because the trade of Shadow Tooth Island at this time has been able to affect the needs of most countries.

In the end, the Holy See of Light had to die down and shelved the plan. But they don't give up.

So they secretly controlled a lot of pirates, hijacking passing merchant ships on the road to Shadow Tooth Island, and soon many countries followed suit, and began to control the entry and exit of pirates in this sea area, although each country tacitly agreed, but this seriously affected the trade of Shadow Tooth Island, when the strategic materials of these countries were insufficient, they secretly reached an agreement to reduce the pirates under their control, and some countries even directly transferred back these armies posing as pirates.

A small number of countries that did not agree were forced by most of them to sign these agreements, but their dissatisfaction led to the spread of this agreement, and at that time we were really convinced that so many pirates were actually controlled by the state, and none of them were real pirates, after all, not everyone could make ships that could resist the strong sea winds here.

Since then, only the pirate organizations of the Holy See of Light have been left on this ocean, and some are the real villains who make a living from sea robbery.

In this case, the Council of Elders decided to exterminate these pirates and reclaim those possessions that may not belong to us, but which should indeed be on Shadowfang Island, and even if they were destroyed, they would not be able to be transported back to the Holy See of Light.

We sent a large number of teenagers, youths, and even old people to the mainland to find ways to recruit these pirates and join them, some of them showed their flaws and died, but some of them managed to enter the pirate interior. ”

That man talked for a long time, adding a lot of history of Shadowtooth that I didn't know.

"Then why not just destroy these pirates?" I asked him.

"That's why we can't go straight into the pirate's lair! Of course, we were able to destroy these pirates for a while, but the Holy See of Light was able to reorganize new pirates, only now we know that the Holy See of Light controls five pirates, all of which are more famous in this sea, and after the destruction, we spend a lot of time entering the undercover agents within the organization, and all of them will become useless, and we don't know how much time and personnel it will take to carry out new undercover operations.

So we usually follow a pirate ship into their lair, giving them the illusion that we are following their ship before finding their lair, although new personnel will be arranged to enter each operation, and we will also bring back some old undercover agents, but there are still many undercover agents who have been killed by mistake and suspicion, and now as Shadowfang Island grows, there are fewer and fewer people in this area, and our actions are becoming more and more difficult. ”

Very good answer to my doubts.

"How do you identify a pirate ship? It's not like we wait for them to take the bait. "That's basically my last question, and it's the most important step in getting into the pirate's lair.

"It's not hard to say, it's not easy to say. We will go to some surrounding harbors, randomly follow some ships that sail to the pirate's lair, the ship will generally be tracked in two situations, the merchant ship will sail a short distance and then turn back to the harbor, the pirate may go up directly to rob at this time, and the merchant ship that has not been robbed will hire some escort mercenary ships to protect them after returning to the harbor.

The pirate ships are different, after they find out that they are being followed, they will either turn around and directly negotiate and attack, or they will speed up their speed to get rid of us, both of which are what we need, attacking us is killing ourselves, and after getting rid of us, we can go to the pirate's lair at this time. The man replied to me.

I have to admire the wisdom of these human beings, and it can also be seen from this aspect that the psychological response of human beings is actually traceable. Actually, there were other questions, such as why we were doing such stupid actions as we are now, but I thought about it for a moment and figured it out.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a spy of the Holy See of Light?" I asked the guy opposite, and we were all sitting on the floor, and the third person called the guardian had already left.

"You're not," he replied me in the affirmative.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you have no faith. You don't have any averence, so you can kill indiscriminately, blood splashed on your face can let it flow without care, pull out other people's body organs and torture them, you don't even look like a human, the Holy See of Light may find someone like you, but it will definitely not be used against us, let alone let such a person be a spy. He looked into my fleshly useless eyes and said slowly.

I'm not a human being, and for me there is no difference between humans and animals.

I am a necromancy, and all living beings are mortal enemies to me, and although human beings have outstanding universal intelligence, they have to degrade their senses while their intelligence evolves, which is the law of this world. Therefore, the breath of the dead that animals and plants can perceive is not perceived by humans.

But the way I am, I almost don't even recognize myself as a necromancy, a magical flesh spirit that can isolate my breath.

"I'm Captain Barcroft's first secretary, my name is Anthony Latham, I've seen your combat experience, Captain Kebley recommended you as the leader of these recruits, and Captain Barcroft has no objection to this, so I arranged for me to come in touch with you, I have no opinion, now I ask for your opinion, are you willing to be the leader of the recruits in this anti-piracy operation." He said to me suddenly and solemnly.

I thought about it, but still rejected the offer.

I'm just with An Ling, for other humans, I have some rejection, this is a natural generation gap between the living and the dead, the vitality in their bodies has been attracting me, although I can control myself, it doesn't mean that I am willing to lead them, just like humans can't lead a group of barbecue, no matter how much power is meaningless.

He looked disappointed: "Well, then we can only look for one more, you don't seem to want to be commanded, then I'll give you a privilege here, you can not obey the commander of your recruits, but in return you have to obey Captain Barcroft directly, and we may arrange some assassinations for you, okay?" ”

I thought about it and agreed to this proposal, and it was still very attractive to me to reduce contact with humans and not have to follow the command of the barbecue.

After seeing that I agreed, he got up and patted his pants on the buttocks, which were actually very clean, without any dust, because the whole boat was very clean, probably this is the habitual movement of human beings.

"After that, we had a good cooperation, we were colleagues" Latham held out his right hand, this is a human handshake courtesy? So I stood up and stretched out my right hand and shook it with his right hand.

"My mission is over, it's time to go back and report to Captain Barcroft, it's nerve-wracking, it's basically not a complete mission, and I have to think of a reason to fool the captain." He said as he left the room, leaving me standing here with my right hand outstretched.
