On the turquoise sea as far as the eye can see, a small, dilapidated wooden sailboat is racing towards the coastline in the monsoon.

Although the ship was very small, and there were several large patches of different colors on the dirty canvas, any ship that passed by, no matter how large or deep, would immediately turn around and flee without hesitation.

It's as if the boat is a messenger of death, a symbol of calamity and bad luck.

Of course, in fact, it is not much worse.

Because this is not an ordinary small ship, but a well-known pirate ship on this route, a group of raiders known as the vultures of the sea.

Their record is not only to plunder merchant ships that do not have much ability to resist, as long as someone can afford to pay a large price, even warships dare to do the black.

In short, this is a bunch of bastards who are bold and do nothing evil.

The most important thing is that after dozens of sieges and suppressions, they are still alive and well, and they are not sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, like some pirates, or hung on the gallows of the docks of some city-state.

But no one will ever know that these pirates, who seem to be no different from before, have now been completely replaced by a different group of people, a group of conquerors who are ten thousand times more dangerous than them, and even enough to push the entire world into the abyss of destruction.

"How far is it from the city-state of Archie?" asked a young man lying on the deck basking in the sun.

You don't have to ask to know that he is the supreme commander of the Darrant Expeditionary Force, the mysterious boy who has been raised for twelve years.

"Your Excellency, according to the memories of the owner of this body, it should arrive before dark at the latest. The middle-aged man who was in charge of the helm next to him hurriedly bent down and replied respectfully.

"How many times have you said it! Don't call me Your Excellency! Don't show a superior-subordinate relationship! Don't forget, we're a bunch of pirates now, and pirates usually don't have an obvious superior-subordinate relationship, at least in this world. The boy reminded nonchalantly.

"And what should I call you?" said the shapeshifter in the image of a middle-aged man, meaningfully tentatively.

As a special race on the fringes of the ruling system, he had always been very curious about why the top brass would send a teenage boy to be the commander of the expeditionary force. And the other party is obviously not a Durent, but in terms of status, it exceeds 99% of Durents.

"Banko! My body's name is Banko. From now on, you just call it by that name. Also, get your men ready, once ashore, you have to make a name for yourself as quickly as possible, preferably to the attention of the upper rulers, I don't want to waste time between the merchants and the commoners. ”

With that, the boy casually threw the pit he had just eaten into the sea.

Despite the fact that this is a backward wooden sailing ship, it has been transformed by magic, and there are not only many comfortable and convenient facilities inside, but also a portal to connect to the magic fortress.

Fresh fruits, meats and vegetables, which are not normally stored for a long time, are readily available on this ship.

What's even more exaggerated is that as long as he wants, this tattered little wooden boat can fly directly and move at a speed of hundreds of meters per second.

"Rest assured, according to the treasure we have prepared, it will cause a great sensation as soon as it comes ashore. The primitive and ignorant natives would not have understood that this wealth would be their lifeline. The shapeshifter licked his lips, his eyes bursting with a cruel bloodthirsty glow.

Due to their nature, they can never refuse to use their shapeshifting abilities to play with the feelings of relatives and friends around their victims, and finally suck the vitality of all these people dry.

"Remember, don't touch people who aren't part of the mission. What I need is to get inside them and find out the truth about what happened twelve years ago, not to create panic and turmoil. The boy looked up into the other's eyes, his tone full of warning.

The shapeshifter nodded thoughtlessly, "Of course, you are the Supreme Commander, and I will obey your orders and keep all the entourage restrained." ”

The boy held up a finger and shook it gently: "No! not restraint! Believe me, I have the ability, even if I don't have it now, I will have it in the future. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before the shapeshifter could react, a shout was heard from the lookout.

"It's a port! A port ahead! If nothing else, it's our destination, the city-state of Archie. ”

Accompanied by the sound of wind and shouts, a huge statue slowly rises from the sea level.

It was a giant white human statue, at least fifty meters tall, with a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, and an ornate helmet on its head.

Through the remote observation magic, you can clearly see that even the lines of the feathers are carved to life.

At the tip of the spear, an orange-red flame burned brightly, providing a reference for ships coming in and out.

You don't have to ask to know that it is not just a statue, but also acts as a lighthouse.

After a few moments, when the entire statue standing above the sea was fully revealed, the members of the ship could finally see the bustling harbor of the city-state of Achia, and the city that continued to stretch higher from one layer to the top.

"Hehe, it's finally here. A sea city built on a hillside? It doesn't feel like there's any energy fluctuation that is too alarming. The boy muttered to himself as he motioned for the shapeshifter to steer the ship and slowly approach the berth.

Under the guidance of the dock staff, it didn't take long for the group to set foot on solid land.

"Please open the hatch! We need to inspect the goods! and then we will take a tax of five to ten percent depending on the type of goods. ”

An officer, under the protection of the guards, approached the ship and pointed to the closed hatch to open.

"Open!"

The boy waved his hand, motioning for the shapeshifters to do so.

After all, he was not trying to make money, but to create a sensation so that he could get in touch with the rulers at the top.

So from the outset, tax evasion and bribery of officials were not among the options.

With a bang, the brilliant colors instantly attracted the attention of all the surrounding docks.

Jewel!

Colorful gemstones!

Each piece is at least the size of a baby's fist!

The whole cabin is all there!

"Oh oh my God! you...... You are ......."

The officials had obviously never seen such a spectacular scene, and the whole person became a little speechless.
