Chapter 42: The King of the Swamp
The night sky is full of stars.
For some reason, the stars in the sky have recently begun to dim, which has caused many people to feel worried. Because the stars of this world represent the gods, the kingdoms of the gods are connected to the astral plane, and then the light of the stars is fed back into the material plane. The entire multiverse can be connected by the astral plane, and one or two stars are relatively dim and may be a struggle between gods, but now that all the stars have become dim, it makes people feel a little panic.
But now those who can notice this are special beings, and ordinary people are still living their original lives.
"Your Excellency!"
The first mate on the pirate ship walked over, his expression a little cramped, and said in a low voice: "We have entered the deep sea area, this is the territory of the swamp king, I am afraid that he will attack us because we enter his waters!" ……”
Sauron gave him a cold look, then spoke, "Keep sailing." ”
The first mate, visibly taken aback by his gaze, immediately ordered the others to continue sailing, praying silently in their hearts that they would not encounter the King of the Swamp's pirate ship. This is the Pirate King who has been around for a long time, and with their strength, it is impossible for them to be the opponent of the King of the Swamp, not to mention that its subordinates are rumored to be a group of monsters.
"There's a boat!"
In the darkness of the night, the lookout suddenly let out an exclamation, and then shouted, "There is a ship nearby!" …… It's a pirate ship! …… Three! …… No! …… It's five! …… Yes! …… It's the king of the swamp! …… It's surrounding us! ……”
There was panic on deck.
Sauron narrowed his eyes at this moment, glanced at Vivien next to him, and whispered, "Finally appeared!" ”
The purpose of his trip was to lure out the King of the Swamp.
Passive beatings were not Sauron's habit. Not to mention that he still has several hole cards in his hand, and by killing the King of the Swamp, he will completely open up the route to the overseas islands. At the same time, he is also qualified to become the new Pirate King. Although the South Coast is only a corner of the world, this corner is equivalent to stepping on a step. Officially has the qualification to compete with the major forces of the gods and churches.
"Prepare for battle!"
Sauron let out a low roar, his voice startling the other pirates, and then he moved in a panic, it seemed that the prestige he had accumulated over the past period of time had worked well, and he was able to keep them from collapsing. The legend of the Pirate King spreads throughout the South Coast, and they are not ordinary people, either monsters or half-bloods, or legendary professionals, ordinary pirates simply don't even have the courage to fight them.
"Vivien!"
Sauron glanced at the little girl next to him who looked a little nervous. I don't know if it's his delusion, but after just a few seconds, the little girl's expression became natural, and there was a hint of excitement on the corner of her mouth, as if she couldn't wait for the enemy to appear.
Her petite body floated and chuckled, "Brother, don't worry. I'll leave this garbage to me! ”
Boom Boom!
A series of cannon shots rang out, and waves shot several feet high on the sea around the pirate ship, and only one cannonball hit the hull, but only on the deck. The pirates still look very confused. The group of guys was not good at command, the lookout had already climbed down, and someone nearby shouted in horror: "In the sea!" …… There are monsters in the sea! ……”
Sauron's pupils narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the sea around him. Suddenly, an order was issued.
Forthwith.
I saw a fog in the sea on all sides!
………………
Not far from Sauron, on a huge dragon head battleship, a cruel smile appeared on the face of the Swamp King. It is a half-breed giant monster with half mire giant blood and half lizardman blood. So it looked like a giant lizard monster, with a lot of scales all over its body while remaining humanoid. Around it are a group of strange-looking lizardmen. There are also completely unrecognizable marine species.
The Deep Sea Demon [Dagon] likes to cultivate believers by defiling its bloodline, so many of its subordinates are strangely shaped creatures.
But these creatures are very dangerous!
"It's just a bunch of useless rubbish!"
The Lord of the Swamp picked up the heavy anchor, which was the xenomorph weapon it used, and its body was so strong that it also possessed a portion of the demonic bloodline due to the power of the Demon Monarch. The strength bonus of the giant subspecies, the agility protection bonus of the lizardman, and the skin and resistance bonus brought by the demon bloodline make it have the same protection ability as scale armor even if it does not wear any armor. The weapon it wields is an incomparably heavy anchor, a weapon that is crushing against any warrior.
All over the South Coast!
Even the top royal Naga guards in the Naga clan did not dare to attack it head-on.
It is a fallen warrior.
However, it is not without spellcasting abilities, it has special combat skills, and it can also use some of the demon's spell-like abilities. This is a dangerous enemy, the only weakness is that it is crazy, it has inherited the chaotic evil of demons, killing will make it even more insane, even its men keep their distance from it at all times. Because that terrible weapon had killed many of its men in the past.
"Lizardmen go to sea!"
The Lord of the Swamp was not a reckless man, he looked at the strange fog and said in a deep voice, "Unleash the manta rays and the deep sea stalkers!" ……”
This is the son of the Deep Sea Demon Lord Dagon.
Of course, it wasn't the kind with divinity, it was just a mutated sea demon monster, and the Lord of the Swamp could control some of these monsters and make them obey his orders. With the sound of jumping into the sea, the lizardfolk smirked and dived to the bottom of the sea, they are amphibians and have adapted to the environment of the sea, these lizardfolk are stronger than the inland lizardfolk are important subordinates of the swamp king, and among them there are its own breeding offspring, although it has changed and killed many lizardman mates in order to reproduce these offspring.
"Fishmen!"
The King of the Swamp glanced at the other battlefield and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you attack this garbage?" Aren't they afraid that I'll kill those clowns and eat them too? ”
The pirate king loves to devour living creatures, including sapient beings.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”
There was a scream, but it was not the pirate ship opposite, but the lizardmen's men it had just sent down, and one of the lizardmen got up from the sea trembling and crawled along the hull to the deck, trembling, "Down!" …… There's something down there! …… Monster! …… What a monster! ……”
It will not be so simple to be able to scare them into such monsters.
………………
The other side.
Sauron's ship was also a horde of terrified pirates, and from time to time someone shouted, "Lizardmen! …… It's a lizardman! …… Yes! …… Fishmen! …… Be careful! …… They're getting closer! ……”
"This! …… What is it! ……”
There was a sound of chattering teeth, and suddenly the sea water next to the pirate ship parted from both sides, and then a black mast rushed out of the bottom of the sea, and in an instant a battleship full of death appeared on the right side of Sauron, covering part of the attack next to it. Creatures with uglider and eerie faces, covered in marine algae and the smell of death, appeared, attacking the pirate ships on all sides, sinking a ship in the midst of a dull cannon sound.
"Ghost ...... Ghost Ship~! ……”
The pirates on the entire deck were stunned for a moment, and when they realized that the ghost ship was actually attacking the enemy, they all immediately turned their eyes on Sauron.
Sauron nodded slightly, then picked up Vivien and landed on the ghost ship opposite.
A cheer rang out!
The first mate's face turned red, his eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement, and he roared at the other pirates: "Prepare for battle!" Get ready to fight back! You bunch of trash! ……“
"Destroy them!"
"From this day forward, we are the most powerful pirates in this sea! …… Your Excellency will be the new Pirate King!! ……”
……………… (To be continued......)
