This time.

The battle between the Alien Roots and the common pirates has ended one step ahead of the other, including the only mortal Duncan, the captain of the "Thumb", the pirate cadres, and the ordinary pirates, all of whom are tied up strongly.

Even a small number of pirates' bones had been rudely choked by the roots, and they could only whisper in the mud of the rain at this time, lest they attract the attention of the terrible naval officer.

Evan stepped forward, walked through a clearing filled with pirates, and entered the cavern.

Whew——

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

"Baldwin, how's it going? Can you still stand up?" The unfortunate bastard who was unfortunate enough to be captured by Duncan was none other than one of the four recruits who had served on the Conch when Evan had just taken up his new role: Baldwin.

However, although he was captured in shame, his subsequent performance made Ai Wen, who had been watching in his eyes, quite satisfied, and his tone was gentle and did not mean to be harsh.

"No——! I'm fine, Your Excellency, Captain. I've disgraced our Conch and you, punish me!" Baldwin lowered his head and begged for Aven's punishment, but with a slight movement, the whip marks that had been glued to his clothes and oozing blood were pulled again, and there was a tingling pain.

Evan patted Baldwin on the shoulder and said in relief:

"It's not all your fault, a powerful mortal with the ability to conceal is something you can't resist for the time being. And given the courage you have shown today, I will not punish you in any way.

But I hope that you will remember the shame of being captured today, and be able to turn it into motivation to keep pushing yourself, and that one day you will have the strength to avoid this kind of encounter for yourself and your comrades. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain!" Baldwin saluted solemnly, even though the stinging pain on his body was still there, his military posture was the same as his heart at this time... Stand footsquare!

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

Come to Aven and salute him respectfully:

"Major Aven! Second Captain John, the Fifth Rank Ship of the Third Fleet, USS Reef, thank you for your help! Thank you for saving all of our lives and futures!"

It was not surprising that the captain knew him, as there were only ten warships of the Third Fleet that participated in the "Nova Project" to hunt pirates. At least for the naval officers on these ships, the captains of these ten battleships were still not unrecognizable.

At the same time, Ai Wen returned the gift and asked the doubts in his heart:

"Captain, what are you...?"

One sentence made the middle-aged captain sad, and sighed several times and told him what happened to his people before.

Needless to say, the 10 warships went to sea together, and the "Reef", which also did not accompany other warships but chose to act alone, cruised along a long-sea route of the "Tulip Alliance" in the sea.

Although there is no fixed target, the Reef is not wrong in its thinking, after all, the main trade routes are also the most frequent haunts of pirates who chase merchant ships like hungry wolves.

For most of the month, it was calm, until I met the "thumb number" unexpectedly.

In fact, as a powerful military empire, the navy is an all-round pirate in terms of ships, equipment, artillery, personnel quality, etc., at least in a one-on-one naval battle, the navy rarely suffers.

In many cases, pirates would use a smaller and faster ship to escape. At the beginning, the officers and men of the navy were also full of confidence and had an absolute psychological advantage over the pirate side!

However, in this naval battle, the navy did not get the favor of fate, and at the beginning of the tentative artillery battle, the "Reef" was accidentally hit on the mainmast and directly lost most of its power.

Then, in the two-hour artillery confrontation and stalemate, Duncan was touched from underwater by the "chameleon" Duncan, and while the captain who was the only official knight was defenseless, he completed the killing of a large number of officers!

The Reef, which had already been badly damaged and had lost its chain of command, was soon sunk by pirates from a dead end. The surviving crew members all became captives of the pirates, until they were rescued by Aven.

"As a colleague, I have great sympathy for your plight, and you will stay on my Conch for the time being at sea, and then return to Gabrad together when you return home. ”

"Thank you, sir, and rest assured that my crew and I will resolutely obey your command on board!" Captain John was very helpful, assuring himself that his men would abide by the rules of the "Conch" and would not cause trouble to Aven.

As he spoke, the crew of the "Conch" also arrived here, led by Milan and Gary.

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

Evan asked Captain John to summon the captured sailors into the cave, and under their astonished gaze, he smashed a gray-white potion bottle to the ground, and the gray mist instantly filled the enclosed space.

Bang –

"Your Excellency, you..."

Puff, puff....

Before he finished a sentence, he had already fallen down one by one.

"Tomorrow you will only remember that we defeated the pirates and freed the captives, and forget all this nonsense about the roots of what will move. ”

Looking at the sailors who were slowly losing their minds, Ai Wen said silently: "The human heart can't stand the test. ”

Just like in the beginning, Evan didn't give the navy a chance to choose between joining the pirates or dying, and now he doesn't put his secrets on the ethics of the sailors.

It's not like a crew that has been carefully selected by themselves, plus all the means that follow-up to confirm that they can keep their secrets. These former officers and men of the "Reef" who have complicated thoughts and some of them have obviously wavered, Aven can't be trusted.

Even with his current background, even if the secret of being a wizard is leaked and will not cause him much trouble, it will still have an impact on his exhibition in the navy, so why bother yourself?

After dealing with these captured sailors, Evan immediately plunged into the intense aftermath work: "Milan, you take someone to receive the pirate ship, don't let the pirates who stayed behind run away now." ”

"Okay, leave it to me!" After an expedition, Milan was in a pretty good state, and when he heard this, he immediately dispatched a naval squad to the sea.

"Your Excellency, what about these pirates. First mate Borg approached Evan and asked cautiously, the more he learned about the captain's methods, the more in awe he became.

From the "Statue of the Ship, Monsoon Goddess" to the large flocks of seabirds that often reside on warships, from the "Secret Treasure of the Sea: Misty Silver Lantern" to today's alienated roots.

Even though Evan had never admitted it himself, he had already realized that His Excellency the Captain was "extraordinary". But, as he himself once said, what about wizards?

On the night of the encounter with the "Mirage Starfish", if it weren't for the captain's Excellency to turn the tide, the ship full of people would have become a sea monster's dinner.

Most of the sailors on the sea believe in goddesses, but they are also thorough pragmatists!

Evan is also more satisfied with the attitude of the first mate Borg, and he will not ask more questions that should not be asked, and only cares about his own work. It seems that after such a long time through the subtle influence of various means, this group of teams has finally almost taken shape.

Hearing the first mate's request, Ai Wen thought for a moment, and then said directly: "It's useless, come according to the regulations." ”

Of course, according to the regulations, there is only one way for the entire "Tulip Alliance" to treat pirates... Death penalty!

"Yes!"

Watching the first mate lead the way away, Evan went straight to Duncan, who was still lying on the ground.

As a tough mortal, he has concealed the intelligence system of the navy, and he has not been listed as wanted for many years among pirates, and he does not even have the existence of this guy in the intelligence he collects.

The pirate, who is suspected of having committed suicide to the Eagle Nest, is cautious enough.

Truth be told, Evan has some love for talent, and a skilled assassin can be of great use even in the unfavorable seas. The worst way to copy the slashing tactics he did to the captain of the "Reef" is also a sharp and good knife!

Smack-

Evan snapped his fingers.

Stumbling, the vine that bound Duncan's neck automatically loosened, giving him a chance to breathe again.

"'Chameleon' Duncan, you've given the Navy soldiers a chance before, and now I'm giving you a chance. How about leaving the ranks of pirates and being my subordinate?"

"Huh-"

Duncan's eyelids lifted as he sneered at the heroic naval officer in front of him, dismissive of his proposal.

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

I just didn't expect that such a guy who became the captain of a navy ship at a young age would still be a wizard! There are even more secrets than himself.

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

"Be your subordinate, a wizard who blends into the kingdom's navy, ahahaha..."

Obviously, this killer's will is much stronger than some of the sailors before him, at least in Aven's opinion, this guy's heart is as cold as his sword, and he has seen too much blood, joy and sorrow, and has become completely numb.

Even if you reluctantly accept this person, it will take a lot of energy and time to subdue his heart later, and some of the gains outweigh the losses.

In addition to this, this guy has killed multiple naval officers, including a naval captain, who has long since cut off the path back to civilization.

What's more, if it is for this guy, it will be very troublesome to get involved with a killer organization like "Eagle Nest". Even if he uses witchcraft to change his appearance, with the characteristics of his ability, as long as he does it, he is likely to be recognized by the insider, so should he kill the onlookers every time he does it?

It is clear that the value he has shown is not worth the risk himself.

"Alas——! my rare kindness... Let's go!"

Once you have made a decision, you will no longer have to worry about gains and losses, and your hand will be lightly pressed on the hilt of the sword.

Qiang –

The long sword was unsheathed, and the eyebrows of Duncan, the "chameleon" on the ground, had been pierced by a lightning-like sword light.

Duncan's eyes widened, and the thunder of the sky was reflected in his pupils!

If there is an afterlife, I hope you can be as free as lightning and no longer be a tool man, this is Aven's last mercy.

After confirming that the "assassin" did not use some means to fake his death, Evan instructed the sailors to drag him away, and the mortal's corpse could not be disposed of casually due to its characteristics, at least it should be completely burned when the weather was clear.

Otherwise, throw it directly into the wilderness, and wait for the next time you come to this island, you don't know what weird things will be waiting for you.

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

The roots of the alienation dispersed, returning to the ruins to await Aven's next summons.
