Chapter Seventy-One: Turning Back

"Now, I'll return my word and be my captive, pirate."

Speaking of this, Roland emitted a holy light from his left hand, making his image look more sacred and believable, "I, Roland Morningsong, promise you in the honor of a paladin, as long as you are captured, I will never cause useless killings here. ”

Accompanied by the threat of the paladin, the outermost High Elf warriors raised their glittering blades and slowly approached the pirates who were surrounded in the center step by step. The cold blade shimmered in the sun, and the neat pace even made the hull of the ship begin to shake, and the heavy formation exuded a terrifying pressure,

Bang bang bang, the sound of neatness seemed to knock on everyone's hearts. Faced with an array of High Elf warriors who were almost twice as numerous as themselves and appeared to be well-trained, the Blackwater Pirates, who had received the promise of the Elven Paladin's No Killing, had to bow their heads.

Perhaps, as long as they really dare to rush up and give it a try, they may find that this group of guys is just a group of showboys, and the victory or defeat may still be five or five in the real fight.

However, the astonishing momentum of the other party made this group of pirates dare not act easily, and because of the mystery and rarity of the High Elves, the current human understanding of the High Elves is limited to rumors. And in the rumors, those high elves are all fierce and can fight several existences one by one.

Now, this rumor that the human hierarchy has deliberately controlled in order to promote the High Elf threat theory has directly caused the pirates to give up their resistance at a loss.

In addition, the reason why this group of pirates are willing to surrender is also the role of Roland, a paladin. After all, everything they do is for money, and when their personal safety is not threatened, pirates who are afraid of the weak and afraid of the hard will not rashly gamble with their lives.

After disarming all the pirates, Roland was faced with the question of how to get to his destination as quickly as possible. After all, the group of card creatures under his command can only last for one day, and there are dozens of pirates on the other side!

And he is just an ordinary person who has crossed over, but there is no domineering spirit that can make this group of pirates honestly bow to the ground and serve themselves.

As for locking up all the pirates? This is actually not reliable, because it is difficult for such a large sea ship to grasp the course with a few people, and the setting of the sail alone can make a group of laymen helpless.

In addition, even if the pirates were honest, Roland might not be able to fully trust the other party. Who knows if the other side will pretend to obey orders and then drive the ship to the pirate's camp or the meeting point they agreed to or something?

Unlike on land, there is no reference on the sea, and their team is not familiar with the surrounding environment, so they have no way to distinguish this insidious method.

Even the former North Sea pirate goblin who came out of nowhere after the pirates abandoned their weapons and surrendered, Roland said he couldn't believe it.

Can you only abandon the ship and go ashore?

In that case, the time consumed on the road will not be as simple as doubling, at least several times the time, not to mention the various dangers that may be encountered on the road - wetlands full of crocodiles and swamps, flying sand and rocks and waterless wilderness, entrenched in the scorching plains of black iron dwarves, a normal person must not think about it to give up the sea route and not go to the land route?

Just as the elven paladin was hesitating about whether to go overland, the female knight's voice sounded in his ears, "Perhaps, there is a solution to the problem on the ship behind." ”

"Arthur, do you know what I'm thinking?"

Roland raised an eyebrow, but not surprised. Because only she and herself knew that these minions could only last for a day, and everyone else, including the two High Elves present, didn't know this.

The pirates who had been surrendered were only annoyed that they were not vigilant enough, and were quietly touched. In their opinion, the other party must have used the magic that the High Elves are best at to surround themselves silently.

As for Liadline and Lotherma, who know a little bit about the inside story, they only think that these warriors are heroic spirits summoned by Roland, the original paladin.

That's right, Immortal, that's how Roland explained Liadline and Lotherma after the Battle of Stratholme. After all, paladins have only just been introduced, and no one knows that pure paladins can't summon heroic spirits as easily as Roland does.

Therefore, compared to the two High Elves who thought that they had already sat back and relaxed, only the girl knight who really knew the identity of the mage of the Roland Brigade would have the same worries as him.

"Souls that have perished at sea can be sealed as your deck, as long as you can provide power, or use one of the cards that have already been charged."

The female knight looked at the large cargo ship farther and farther behind her, and her emerald green pupils revealed a different brilliance than usual, "I can feel their unwillingness and wail, they can become your strength." ”

"Charged cards?"

Roland, who had been reminded, silently opened the card interface in his heart, and glanced at the five remaining five cards that he had almost forgotten from the Battle of Taquiline.

Because the first card summoned the follower in front of him who didn't quite fit his imagination, he was always a little resistant to the rest of the cards. The elf's gaze silently swept over the four cards with animal motifs and landed on the blood-colored card.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind, "Gryzks, give you twenty crew members, prepare to drive the ship back, keep a certain distance from the deck of the Pioneer, and we will deal with that big guy!" ”

Roland glanced at the goblin trader who was carefully accompanying the smiling face, and with a hint of command, "Can you do it?" ”

"Of course, sir. Grezx is sure to satisfy you! ”

The dwarf goblin wiped the cold sweat from his head and bowed deeply. Fortunately, the adult didn't care about his escape, and the former pirate, who had already washed his hands, secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Although he didn't know why the elf who had just escaped wanted to return, he was very relieved by the current situation of many people.

Watching the goblin merchant happily run into the crowd of captives and start picking out the more honest-looking pirates, Roland turned to look at the elven ranger beside him, "Lotherma, go check on the ship and see if there are any long-range equipment besides the cannon." ”

Lotherma, who had been paralyzed all along, smiled at this time, "I've wanted that werewolf to taste the wrath of our Queldore for a long time!" ”
