Chapter 298: Demonic Wrath
In the evening on the coast of the Emerald Province, black clouds covered the sky, and above the raging and surging angry sea, a medium-sized clipper with the head of a blood-colored demon ship was shuttling between the reefs with thrilling difficulty, and the howling wind rolled up monstrous waves, like a huge devil's claw slammed down, as if it would crush it to pieces at any moment.
On the violently shaking deck, Lin Taiping firmly fixed himself on the mast, more than a dozen demons gathered around him, grinding their fangs viciously, and the blood sickle not far away was grabbing the pale black beard, and roared viciously: "Fool, you idiot, you actually lost our ship, do you know how much there is on it?"
"I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong. Blackbeard trembled with fear, watching the black scythe back and forth on his chest, "The gods are above, and everything is very smooth, but I didn't expect that Baron Michael to suddenly appear, and he also brought his private armed fleet...... Please forgive me, my lord, just forgive me this time. β
Yes, just like Blackbeard said, he purchased a large number of materials in the Emerald Province according to the list made by Lin Taiping, including the props needed for the next shooting, the daily necessities of the demons, and in addition to the entire six boxes of valuable magic crystals, which are specially used to sacrifice to the gods.
In fact, the transportation process should have been very smooth, and it only took half a day for the merchant ship to enter the pearl island chain smoothly, but no one expected that Baron Michael happened to patrol the island chain with a private fleet, and with a very happy wave of his hand, the entire merchant ship was directly seized.
"Nonsense, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?" "Bloodsickle roared even more angrily, and directly put the scythe on Blackbeard's neck, "Damn, I bet with the evil reputation of the family that it must be you and that Michael secretly colluded." Intend to embezzle our vast wealth. β
Wronged, wronged, Blackbeard shook his head desperately in horror, but there was no way to explain it clearly, but fortunately, at this time, Lin Taiping suddenly raised his hand lightly and said: "Okay, okay, you also know the blood sickle, Mr. Blackbeard's luck has always been bad, but then again, I really want to know." Why was that Baron Michael so unscrupulous?"
Tears in his eyes, hearing Lin Taiping's words, Blackbeard was suddenly moved to tears, but he quickly trembled and explained: "My lord, you don't know, that damn Baron Michael, the family power is really strong, in fact, his uncle is the Governor of Gray Mountain in the Emerald Province." β
That's true. As Blackbeard said, Baron Michael himself is nothing special, and he only has a private armed fleet of ordinary strength under his command, but he deserves to die. His uncle was actually the Governor of Grey Mountain in the Emerald Province, and because the Governor had only one daughter, he had always regarded Michael as his own.
With the Governor as his backer, Baron Michael threw a lot of gold coins to form his own private fleet. Patrolling the area around the Pearl Island Chain all year round, and occasionally doing a little bit of white and black, even Blackbeard immediately identifies himself. But Baron Michael waved his hand indifferently and directly swallowed the entire merchant ship.
Not only that, but after the seizure of the entire merchant ship, the baron drank expensive red wine and happily told Blackbeard that if the real owner of the merchant ship wanted to get the cargo back, he would be happy to ...... Would love to ......
"What would you like to do?" Lin Taiping touched his chin with a smile and motioned for Blackbeard to continue.
"Do you really want to say it?" Blackbeard couldn't help but shudder, and after a few minutes of snorting, he stammered, "Baron Michael said that if you want to get the goods back, you can go to him yourself, and he will be happy to hang you and your men all on the mast!"
Bastard! Damn bastard! Unforgivable bastard!
In an instant, the demons on the entire boat went berserk, the Abyss Flame Demon spewed flames angrily, the Ice Envoy Demon howled viciously, and the blood scythe was even more violent and brandished his scimitar, and his eyes erupted with a vicious bloody light: "Damn, that damn bastard, he dares to offend the dignity of our demons, I must dig out his heart and eat it!"
"Ann, Ann. Lin Taiping was not angry at all, he touched his chin with a smile, he thought thoughtfully, but suddenly turned his head to look at Blackbeard: "So, dear Mr. Blackbeard, has Baron Michael told you where to find him?"
"The port of Nantes, right in the port of Nantes. Blackbeard held out his hand tremblingly and pointed to a few lights in the fog to the southeast, "The Governor of Grey Mountain likes Baron Michael very much, so he gave him the port of Nantes, which is closest to the chain of pearl islands...... Wait, sir, do you think so?"
In an instant, looking at Lin Taiping's harmless smile of humans and animals, Blackbeard suddenly turned pale with horror, the gods are above, this demonic adult, should he not be planning to rush directly into the port of Nantes, crazy, this is simply crazy, let alone whether this plan can succeed or not, even if it is really successful, I am afraid that the governor of Gray Mountain will be furious when he learns about it......
"I'll kill that governor!" Before Lin Taiping could answer, the blood scythe wielded viciously and howled angrily in the torrential rain, "If you dare to take the gold from our demons, you will have to pay the worst price, I swear with the evil reputation of my family, I must dig out that bastard's heart, and then hang his body in the harbor to dry!"
That's right, that's right, more than a dozen demons all roared viciously, and even the timid and fearful Lilu blushed all over her face, waving the meniscus scepter angrily, uh-huh, you can endure anything, but you can't bear to fill your stomach, whoever dares to snatch my black bread, I will fight with him.
"Very well, let's go. Lin Taiping waved his hand happily.
After a few seconds, the demons immediately howled excitedly, raised the sails and turned the bow of the ship, and sailed towards the port of Nantes against the strong wind and waves, probably the gods of darkness were also helping them, the dark night sky was shrouded in gray mist, in this case, even if the armed fleet of the port of Nantes was on alert and patrolling, it was difficult to find the traces of the demons.
A few hours later, the brightly lit port of Nantes was already close in front of him, looking at the outline of the port that was gradually clear, Lin Taiping took the clairvoyant mirror from the hand of the blood sickle, stood on the rickety bow of the ship, and looked at the scene in the port from afar.
In fact, as Blackbeard described before. Baron Michael was a typical gentleman, his personal domain, the port of Nantes, seemed to be loose, with no magical defenses and due vigilance, and even the soldiers in the harbor were dozing listlessly, as if they had never feared such a night attack.
Not only that, although there are hundreds of armed soldiers in the port, their strength is really ordinary, and from what has been observed so far, the average strength of these soldiers is only the bronze rank, and the strength of several officers is slightly better. But the highest level did not exceed the middle level of Black Iron, and it was impossible to block the attacks of the demons at all.
"Well, this is really the era of fighting for dads. Putting down the clairvoyant mirror casually, Lin Taiping couldn't help but complain silently, but he inevitably felt a little strange-
There is no doubt that Baron Michael has no talent at all, and even the private army under his command is only a third-rate product, so the question is, is the governor of Gray Mountain in the water. He actually trusted this nephew who was unreliable at all, could it be that the entire Jade Province couldn't find other talents?
The Blood Scythes and the Demons didn't care about that, they perched viciously on the bow of the ship, watching the unsuspecting harbor get closer and closer. As if he had already smelled the smell of blood and gold coins, the blood sickle took a deep breath of excitement and said with a vicious smile on his face: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful." Maybe we can ransack the port by the way after we take out Michael?"
"No, quite the opposite. Lin Taiping patted the blood sickle's shoulder. "Listen, guys, I'm not against you going to ransack Baron Michael, but you should be polite to the rest of the people in Nantes Port, especially the ordinary civilians. β
Why? The Blood Scythe and the demons widened their eyes reluctantly, since we had all entered the port of Nantes, why didn't we kill that bastard from Michael and ransack the entire harbor by the way, as for the lives of ordinary humans...... Just kidding, who would think about how a cow feels before eating beef?
"Because, it's about our income. Lin Taiping looked at them with a smile, but said seriously, "All in all, you all keep in mind for me that killing a civilian will cost us at least a hundred gold coins, killing ten civilians will cost us a thousand gold coins, and if the entire port is burned, everyone will wait together to drink the northwest wind." β
Well, although I don't understand the meaning of this sentence, as long as I think of the legendary large sum of money, the demons still immediately nodded desperately with green eyes, and the blood sickle slapped their chests even more: "Yes, my lord, I swear by my family's evil reputation that I will treat those humans like sons, if I have a son." β
Almost at the same time, the clipper was already approaching the port, and finally sensing their arrival, a sharp horn sounded from the port, and only a moment later, a small warship slowly approached in the middle of a storm, blocking the clipper's path.
Immediately afterwards, when the two ships docked side by side, a group of armed soldiers immediately jumped on the clipper with murderous vigour, and the captain of the guard who pressed the hilt of the sword was full of arrogance, looked at Lin Taiping who was standing at the bow of the ship, raised his chin and said coldly: "On the order of the Baron, all ships entering the port must pay three times the commercial tax, now, immediately, immediately!"
"Three?" Lin Taiping slowly turned his head and looked at him with a smile, "Honorable lord, we are not here to do business, and triple is not too high?"
"Is it high?" the captain of the guard pressed the hilt of his sword expressionlessly, narrowed his eyes slightly, "Very good, then it's five times now, if you still plan to say one more nonsense, then I will levy it directly...... Damn it, Reed, what are you pulling my clothes for?"
"Team...... The captain ......" The few soldiers who followed behind couldn't help but swallow their saliva and said tremblingly, "What, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but if you look behind you now......"
The captain of the guard was stunned, almost subconsciously turned his head to look, and then after a few seconds, he suddenly felt like he had been punched head-on, and his face was twisted and stunned.
Yes, not far behind him, a creepy roar was sounding, and in the dim flickering light of the torches, a terrifying demon wielding a black scythe was licking its ugly lips with bad intentions, revealing two rows of white fangsβ
"Your Excellency, you don't mind, I'll eat a few steaming hearts once in a while, right?" (To be continued......)
