The sky was overcast, and the clouds were so low that they seemed to collapse. The daylight was obscured, and there was no longer the red color of the past, only the pale white of the semicircle. There are crows standing in the corner of the house, looking around with small round eyes, and there are also crows flying in the sky, sprinkling lonely black feathers, like the verdict of death. The crow's cry echoed through the air, and there was no more mournful joy than this.

Beneath the clouds is a port square, once bustling with people, singing and dancing, but now all the laughter is gone, leaving only the weight of death.

A group of pirates and their families knelt on the ground, lined up in five columns, adding up to about eighty people. Among them, there are old and young, uneven. It is not accurate to say that they were pirates, only a small number of them were pirates, and the rest were just merchants who lived in the port and did not participate in raids.

Hundreds of sailors gathered around the pirates, waiting for them with solemn expressions, muskets with long poles in their hands and scimitars pinned to their waists.

This port, also known as the "scimitar", is a port on the east coastline of the Kovarare continent, the natural environment here is very harsh, there are many reefs on the seaside, and only this small port exists for hundreds of nautical miles along the coast. Scimitar Harbor is not under the jurisdiction of any power, it is a lawless place, and it has been entertained by passing ships on weekdays, most of which are pirate ships, and it is a veritable "white land".

In the past, there was a skull flag with no special symbol, but today it has been replaced with the flag of Xiyaoguo, and a glowing sword is painted on it.

The war between the two alliances, the Triple Alliance, and the pirates, has reached the area, and a fleet of Xiyao Kingdom in charge of surprise attacks has captured the port, making it a sea foothold for the Triple Alliance. Although this foothold is far away from the Sea of Jewels, it is also a very important place at the junction of the East and West Seas.

The commander of Xi Yao Guo is the famous Major Sien, who is a sixth-order orc fighter who is loyal to Xi Yao Kingdom. He used to use a decapitating axe to kill many pirates, so he earned the bloody nickname "The Beheader" at sea.

The decapitator does not behead others, but specializes in beheading pirates, and one can be cut off with an axe, and there is no ambiguity.

Today is the day of the execution of the pirate captives, and the executioner is none other than Theon.

He strode as he walked toward the captives, making a dull sound of footsteps. The sound was like a death knell, striking on the hearts of the captives, bringing tearing fear. He had a fierce face, his face was covered with hair, and a pair of fangs stretched out his lips from the bottom right to the top, glowing with cold light. On his back, he carried an axe of surprising size, which was silvery-white and cold. The cutting edge is sharp.

The footsteps stopped behind one of the captives in the corner of the party, who trembled with fright and babbled and wept - many of them were mere merchants. But there is no pirate courage who is not afraid of life and death.

"Pastor, I'm about to start the execution, please do some magic on your behalf to alleviate the pain in the hearts of these people." Sien said roughly.

"Yes. Sir, I'll do my magic right away. The priest, who was standing not far from the side, bowed his head in agreement. Although he was a pastor, the emblem on his body was not a cross. It's a star-moon pattern. This motif is the emblem of the Asnoist religion, which is derived from the image of the ancient script, which means holy.

The priest opened the thick Bible and recited the precepts written on it, and every word of the word formed a soothing power that seemed to turn the mood of the condemned prisoners.

Unlike the Holy Cross, which is good at healing wounds, Asnoism focuses more on the magic of changing people's hearts.

The condemned prisoners were no longer afraid, no longer weeping, but their hearts were filled with joy and they welcomed death with joy. It sounds ridiculous, but that's the way it is.

Now it can be executed happily.

Theon lifted the clasp behind his back and took off the decapitator, which was still shining silver even in cloudy weather, as if it had just been made. He raised his axe aloft and brewed strength, and his arm was glowing with purple fighting energy, but not much, because it didn't take much strength to cut off a head.

"Report!"

At the moment when the decapitator fell, a herald ran from the direction of the sea, ran all the way to Theon, stamped on the ground with one foot, pointed to the side of his face, and gave a military salute.

"Say, what's the matter?" Theon asked, twisting his head, but didn't drop his head-taker.

The lookout spotted a small boat approaching the sea, looking ordinary, rowing with oars. Dressed in it sat a man in a captain's uniform with a difficult face, and two swords hanging from his waist. In front of the bow of the ship stands a flagpole with a pirate flag depicting an evil dragon, matching the flag of the dragon pirate group. The herald reported quickly.

"The banner of the Dragon Pirates?" Theon's brow furrowed, and he lowered the axe in his hand, which meant that the news brought by the herald was far more important than the execution, "Is this ship alone?" Are there any other ships at sea? ”

"There was a lot of fog on the sea just now, and I couldn't see anything clearly, and I don't know if there were any other ships besides this ship."

"It's good, how can there be a fog all of a sudden, there must be something strange in it. The priest and the soldiers of the first and second teams came with me, and the rest stayed on standby. Theon gave a deep order, saddled the decapitating axe on his back, and strode to the sea.

The named people followed closely behind, forming a long line. The remaining soldiers changed formations and rearranged their formations, surrounding the captives in the square.

Sinti sniffed, smelling danger.

Human strength and courage are equal. The man with the small boat dared to go alone to the port that had been captured by the navy, and he also singled out the pirate flag, proving that he must not be an ordinary person. What's more, there is a fog on the surface of the sea, which is most likely the result of some kind of magic effect, or some kind of treasure.

Don't look at the fact that there is only a few people on the other side, but it is likely to be more difficult to deal with than the entire Scimitar Harbor combined.

With a heavy heart, Sien walked to the shore of the harbor, which had been in disarray under the bombardment of the previous days, with many forts and houses destroyed, and even the pier broken. Standing next to a collapsed house, he removed the telescope hanging from his waist and put it in front of him. Looking out to sea.

The telescope scanned twice, and sure enough, I saw a slow-moving boat on the sea.

A flagpole was attached to the bow of the ship, on which a pirate flag was flying. Behind the flagpole sat a man with two oars in his hand, paddling back and forth. The brim of his hat was so low that he couldn't see his face clearly.

Sien frowned and stared at the men on board, pondering whether to negotiate or shell. At this juncture, there was a sudden coldness on the side of his neck, with a sharp tingling sensation, as if someone had put a sword on his neck. He was shocked. He lowered his binoculars and tried to remove his head.

"Don't move, or today will be your death." A cold voice rang out, and the blade around Theon's neck drew closer, cutting through the skin, causing large drops of blood to roll down.

The soldiers standing behind were in a great confusion, and only then did they realize that the commander had been restrained, and they raised their muskets and aimed them at the people behind the commander.

The man's body flickered on and off. Like a shadow, like a cloud of smoke, he was wearing a black tights and a face mask. Only a pair of sinister eyes were revealed. In his hand he held a strange knife crawling with serpentine carvings, the blade firmly resting on Theon's neck.

Only then did everyone realize that this was not a person, but an undead!

Theon really didn't dare to move, but his face was quite calm. Shen asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who my master is." The undead said coldly.

"And who is your master?"

"That's a lot of questions, you should have seen it with a telescope. The man in that boat is my master. He is about to row over, and I want you to hurry up to meet him, and then offer your boat and this harbor with both hands. If you do it, I don't want to kill. ”

"Hmph, it's ridiculous, you think that putting a knife on my neck will make me a decapitator. Is Theon tied up? If you had tried to sneak attack just now, my head would have been in danger, but in this case, you can't cut it off. ”

"I should be able to understand that your words have failed in negotiation." The undead exerted a force in his hand and slashed down with his knife.

At this moment of life and death, Sien suddenly activated all the purple fighting qi on his body, and used the fighting qi to flick the knife around his neck away, saving his head. He took advantage of his strength to step back, took off the decapitator axe from his back, and slashed down at the enemy behind him. The axe fell to the ground with a bang, and a wave of fighting qi flew out from the surface of the axe.

The knife missed, the axe also missed, and the undead disappeared into the dust kicked up by the axe.

The soldiers who were waiting around immediately opened fire, and when they heard a series of gunshots, the bullets came out of their chambers, forming a series of fiery red trajectories, intertwined into a fire net.

Sien gripped the handle of the axe with both hands, and glared around for the undead, who he had always hated for disembodied enemies.

"Don't look for it, I'll always be behind you." At some point, the undead appeared behind Theon, wielding a knife entwined around the serpent and slashing a diagonal line.

Xien exerted the power of the sixth-order Dou Qi, and with a shock all over his body, he released a purple Dou Qi, which exploded in place like a thunderbolt. Once again, the undead were bounced away by the explosive fighting spirit, and disappeared reluctantly.

The priest, who had always been gentle and did not participate in the war, came in handy, chanted incantations, unleashed divine magic, and held up the Bible in his hand, so that the light of the book shone in all directions. This holy divine light is lethal to the weak undead and has a dispelling effect on the powerful undead.

A priest intervened, and the undead could no longer be majestic, so they could only hide in the distance and stand on the high roof.

"It was a wrong decision for you to attack me, and if you had listened to me, you could have avoided death. Once my master arrives in the boat, you are all dead, and he can raze this place to the ground with a single sword. The undead stood on a high place, threatening in a cold, hoarse voice. He is the newly joined undead ninja black in the dragon pirate group, and the master he mentioned is naturally Tang Ke.

On the boat, Donk raised the brim of the captain's hat, revealing a frosty Oriental face. (To be continued......)
