Chapter 336 Taking the Initiative
Awad Island has lost its former bustle and bustle.
In the city-state surrounded by four statues, the pirates are all fully equipped and look serious. Outside the island, the ships led by the White Pearl are scattered around the island, ready to set sail at any time.
On the entire island, except for the pirates belonging to the Black Pearl, the rest of the people either left early or stayed in the tavern outside the city-state.
The same is true for the central tower. All entertainment and public activities are suspended. The lower floors are transformed into training areas for pirates, and the middle floors are logistics support areas.
As for the top three floors...
"Boss, Esekki Island and Koil Island have been breached!"
"Blino died in battle, Oroko was seriously injured, and Shatila and Anthony are fleeing to Awad Island!"
"The one who shot is Golden Dis!!"
Bang!
Black Jack was furious and punched the table, directly breaking the poor ironwood desk.
"Damn it, is there no good news?"
"Three big pirates died yesterday, and another one died just after noon today. Wasn't he killed by the people of the Araniga..."
"How long will you give in?!"
Walid, holding the parchment, pursed his lips and quietly looked at Euan and Menor on the other side, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Euan shook his head slightly, indicating that he had no better way.
Only Menor looked natural, as if he didn't care about Black Jack's rage, but he didn't speak.
"Boss..." Walid spoke helplessly, trying to persuade him.
Black Jack interrupted directly: "Continue to contact Lotilia! I can't bear it!"
"I'm afraid this won't work..."
"Why?"
"Lord Lotilia, all channels of communication with the outside world were closed this morning. Now Wojciech is not allowed to enter or leave, and has been hidden."
"Huh?"
The anger on Black Jack's face stagnated, and his brows knitted.
He subconsciously thought that there might be something wrong with Wojciech, but then immediately denied this idea.
If even the captain has problems, then the war with the Araniga doesn't need to continue.
Thinking of this, Black Jack sighed, waved his hand with a lonely look, and said: "Then keep in touch with other ships and don't cause greater panic."
With his simple mind, he could think that when the base camp could not be contacted, he, the vice captain of the Black Pearl, would be the backbone of each pirate ship.
"I have just sent a notice to other captains in your name, and there is no feedback yet..."
"Well, let's do this for now. You go down and see the training results of those bastards, especially Marco's team. The battles in the future will still depend on them."
"Understood."
After Walid finished speaking, he hesitated and cast a pleading look at Youan - the boss will be left to you to comfort.
Youan nodded slightly, thinking about the current situation in his heart.
Obviously, all the feedback received is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Black Pearl.
Whether it is the Araniga's overwhelming attack or the successive betrayals of the pirate groups that were originally close to the Black Pearl, the current situation has become more and more tense.
In addition, the "Sea Emperor" Isabel Clijsters has been staying in Wojciech, which makes the people of the Black Pearl start to have other thoughts.
Therefore, he can understand Black Jack's current mood.
But that's all.
After Walid left, the three people in the room had different expressions. After a long silence, Black Jack spoke in a dull tone:
"The current situation is very clear. The vast majority of people in the entire Cordo Sea want to pull us down!"
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
Yuan and Menor looked at each other, their eyes flickered, and they guessed each other's thoughts.
"Menor, you say it."
"Yeah."
Black Jack was stunned and looked at the two of them blankly. When did he decide? Why didn't he know?
"'The Plague Doctor' thinks the same as I do," Menor smiled and said, "First Officer Jack, take the initiative!"
Black Jack: "Ah?"
"He's right, Jack, in this situation, it's time for us to take the initiative."
"Attack?" Black Jack hesitated and said, "But before, Lotilia asked for a full retreat."
"But now she has cut off all contact!"
"Then what?"
Menor continued, "Then of course we have to make our own decisions."
"So..."
"It's our turn, Jack." Euan's mouth curled up, and his somewhat vicissitudes of life revealed a little murderous intent, "Even a family like Golden Diss can't be defeated. Guys, dare to stand up against us... Don't you feel aggrieved? "
"Of course I think so!" Black Jack stood up suddenly, his expression no longer hesitant, looking at the two old friends, and said: "Tell me, what to do?"
"Of course, we will kill them directly," Youan gestured to Menor, "With him, the three of us are enough."
"You mean... space transfer?"
"Not too stupid." Menor said proudly: "I dare not say anything about others, but in terms of mobility, except for me, there is no second person in the entire Cordo Sea!"
"That's right!" Youan nodded in agreement, "We only need to kill some of the people who show up, and the others will naturally sink. "
"After all, what we lack now is morale. We can only hold on until the 'Emperor of the Sea' appears if we win over as many people as possible. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, it will be too disadvantageous for us if we drag it on!" Black Jack understood and grinned: "The first target, Golden Dis?"
"There is no one more suitable than him."
"Let's do it!"
Seeing that he agreed, Menor smiled, "Wait a minute."
"Hmm?"
Menor explained helplessly: "In order to prevent accidents on Avad Island, we must also determine the location of the target first. Don't worry, Jack."
Yuan nodded, "That's right, if you want to do it, you have to kill it with one blow."
"Oh, then you make the decision..."
Black Jack knew that his brain was still lacking compared to the two people next to him, so he was too lazy to think.
"By the way, don't forget to collect more information about the Twilight Sect." Menor thought of something and reminded.
"Hmm? Collect them... Aren't they all with the Araniga?"
"Just collect them and give them to me. They will be very useful."
Yuan's expression changed, and he looked towards the north, saying in surprise: "You are not planning to..."
"That's what you think. After all, he is also very interested in the people of the Twilight Sect."
"What are you talking about?"
Black Jack was confused again. He always felt that the two people's thinking was too jumpy. Aren't they talking about preparing to kill Golden Dis?
"Forget it, Jack, just do what Menor said."
"...Okay, I'll arrange it now..."
...
...
At the same time, in the B224-E2000 sea area 8,000 kilometers north of Alexei Island.
[You use the corpse explosion technique (Death God) to kill the deep-sea mutant...Special reward: survival points +200, toughness level +2. ]
[...]
[You use the soul-eating spell to devour the mutant's essence, and your essence is improved...Special reward: essence +0.15. 】
While using the Shadow Step to move towards Alexei Island, Wayne cleared the deep-sea species in the sea to increase his source power.
In fact, after five hours, each deep-sea species gave him only the lowest 1 survival point.
But the effect of the Soul Devouring Spell to devour the source is still there. Every time he clears the deep-sea species, he can get dozens of points of source power, which is not bad.
"Aise, Yi, Ramti!"
[You cast the Eye of Space (Death) to create a space anchor point. Evaluation: Anchor point! Special reward: Survival points +100, spirit level +2. 】
After cleaning the sea surface, Wayne habitually left the Eye of Space mark.
However, at this point, the empty crystals were also consumed.
At this time, Wayne's mind had thirteen more Eye of Space marks.
In addition to the two on Alexei Island and the Spiritual Secret Tower, there were eight marks from east to west on the East Continent.
Some of them were near the Holy Land, some were in the Drake Republic where his predecessor's hometown was, and the last one was in the Caster City-State.
After that, when he arrived at the sea, he only left three marks in total.
Thinking about the empty crystals, Wayne shook his head and asked the school after returning to Alexei Island.
With the accumulation of ghosts for so long, there should be extra empty crystals to exchange.
Thinking of this, he used the Shadow Step again to move towards Alexei Island.
The reason why it was Shadow Step instead of Teleportation Spell was very helpless for Wayne.
The level of Teleportation Spell was not enough, and the maximum distance that could be used was only 2,000 kilometers. If there was no Space Eye mark within this range, the result would be a random location.
After leaving the Caster City-State, he also tried to use the Teleportation Spell to travel.
According to his idea, the probability of transfer in the southwest, south, and southeast directions was very high.
But he forgot that these three directions only occupied a quarter.
So the result was very touching. He had just used the Teleportation Spell a few times, but not only did he not shorten the distance between him and Alexei Island, but it became farther and farther.
From then on, Wayne honestly used the special perspective of the Kingdom of Death to travel.
Although he could only move his vision to the limit of 300 kilometers each time, it was stable.
"Hmm?"
After moving nearly 1,000 kilometers, Wei En stopped and frowned at the sea.
Amid the rolling waves, a piece of crimson was very eye-catching.
There were also human remains scattered around, some of which were eaten by deep-sea species and only bones were left, and some were still attached with some whitened flesh soaked in sea water...
At a glance, Wei En could distinguish no less than a thousand corpses, scattered over more than ten kilometers of the sea.
He instantly released his spiritual perception, covering the surrounding 700-kilometer sea area.
Compared to his vision, his spiritual perception range is wider.
"This is..."
Wei En waved his hand, and the red ghost continued to cast the Shadow Step, taking him to the west.
After two times in a row, he stopped and looked at a storm sea not far ahead, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his red eyes.
In the distance, amidst the thunder and raging winds and tsunamis in the dark clouds that covered the sky, countless deep-sea species went crazy under the storm.
Huge tentacles like three-masted sailing ships tossed in the sea one after another, stirring up more mutant species.
"Roar——"
"Roar——"
But behind these deep-sea mutants, a black carriage and the surrounding sea surface were as calm as dead water.
Only the small pyramids on the roof were blown and collided with each other by the sea breeze, making a crisp sound.
"Lingling, Lingling..."
The sound in his ear made Wayne realize that he had met the terrifying gravedigger of the Twilight Sect here.
He still remembered that the last time the gravedigger took the initiative to attack him, he directly summoned the "Lord of Truth and Killing" McAllister in the battle, so that Claire was taken away by him.
And this time -
Wayne looked at the carriage in the depths of the storm and the gravedigger driving the carriage, and his mouth curled up.
This time, he was lucky!
The gravedigger also discovered Wayne's figure, and his gray eyes under the black robe were dead silent. He said in a cold tone: "Hehehe, there is an unexpected person..."
Wayne flashed into the range of the storm and appeared near the carriage.
Several tentacles as tall as a person instantly attacked him. They were actually driven by the gravedigger and launched the attack at the first time.
Wei En's eyes moved slightly, and the ghost in the mark between his eyebrows floated out. He laughed and cast two spells.
"Wol, Gans, Tal!"
"Bray, Franco, Ava!"
As the two rune arrays emerged, a thick bone wall rose up to the sky, blocking the tentacles from attacking, and another undead claw grabbed directly and tore the tentacles apart.
"Roar--"
Accompanied by the collapse of the tentacles, painful screams resounded throughout the sea area, causing the surrounding deep-sea mutants to become even more crazy.
The entire sea surface also boiled.
"Oh?"
The gravedigger looked at Wei En's figure, paused, tilted his head as if thinking for a few seconds, and seemed to be looking at him, and said in a hoarse voice:
"You are stronger than the intelligence..."
"Tsk."
Wei En had no interest in talking to him, and just uttered a disdainful tone particle.
[You step into an unknown place where endless killing intent is collected. Because your spirit level is greater than 5000, you successfully resist the erosion of spiritual power. Evaluation: Finally not a scumbag? Special reward: survival points +10, spirit level +1. ]
[……]
[You are targeted by the killing intent of the gravedigger Marina Gilbert. Evaluation: 50% of the origin is fused, be careful of the cemetery! Reward: survival points +60. ]
Wayne glanced at the information on the panel, tapped his forehead with his finger, and let the secret master and the driver fly out as well.
——The four origin sub-bodies are here!
"You shouldn't stand in my way!"
At this time, the gravedigger noticed his action, lifted the black robe on his body, revealing eight tombstones connected by broken arms, and the mouths on his chest began to recite the Gonzalez language:
"Great Lord of Reality, I pray for your blessing, let the servants of the real world come, destroy all illusions, and welcome all new life..."
"Reality is coming!"
As the spell echoed in the storm, four tombstones were projected and stood on the left and right of the carriage.
A few shadows slowly emerged in the flashing red light...
Wayne calmly watched the gradually taking shape figures, and said coldly:
"After so long, I just use you to test my strength!"
