Chapter 234: Cleaning up the Traitors
The plague umbrella covered the sky, and the plague bell began to ring. The bell sounded like a death knell. Every time it sounded, the plague infection on the people who heard it would worsen.
The plague released by Feng Willow this time was a new dehydration plague. When the bell rang, ordinary people had already fallen to the ground with limbs weak.
The second ring, one by one, the people infected by the plague began to sweat all over their bodies. The amount of sweat was so large that their clothes were quickly wet.
The third bell rang, and everyone began to vomit and have diarrhea until their bodies fell into a state of dehydration and died.
In the entire sea area covered by the plague umbrella, except for Feng Willow and the first mate Anthony on the ghost ship, all other ordinary people on the ship had fallen to the ground.
A few sequencers were still barely standing with sweat all over their bodies. Although the plague bell could stimulate the plague in their bodies, these sequencers were less infected by the plague because of their own resistance, and they could still bear it for the time being.
However, if the plague bell continues to be rung, even these sequencers will die miserably of dehydration. This way of death is actually not much better than dying of festering all over the body.
Feng Willow still stopped the attack of the plague bell. Continuing to ring the plague bell will kill everyone, but now these people have lost the ability to resist. Under the cover of this plague umbrella, they are weak and cannot escape.
This is a good time to kill all enemies at the lowest cost.
"Forget it, just go slower! People who really surrender to me should not die like this." Feng Willow finally showed mercy. This time, he showed mercy not for others, but for Baron Black. Feng Willow is really short of people now, and Baron Black, who has experienced this incident and has not betrayed, is already a trustworthy subordinate, so Feng Willow is naturally willing to save his life.
Feng Willow's ghost ship began to move, checking one ship after another. All the pirates who failed to escape became corpses stored inside the ghost ship.
As for the nobles who escaped, they also lost the chance to escape.
"Your Excellency the Duke, don't kill me, I'm still useful, I'm still useful!" Some nobles begged for mercy frantically, trying to explain what happened during the naval battle just now.
Some nobles even directly blamed the sailors on the ship and their relatives to prove that they were sincere. Unfortunately, no matter what their excuses were, they could not escape death.
However, the corpses of these nobles are much more valuable. They are all sequencers, and some of them are not low-level sequencers. Unfortunately, as long as there is betrayal, Feng Willow has no reason to forgive it.
Moreover, the corpses of these sequencers are also very useful. If they are refined into zombies, at least there is no need to worry about their betrayal. Moreover, the zombies refined from the corpses of these sequencers often have higher potential than other zombies.
The last ship that Feng Willow cleaned up was the ship of the old viscount, because his ship had fled the farthest and had almost escaped. Waiting for the unknown judgment was the most tormenting.
It was also because of this old viscount that Feng Willow made up his mind to kill this guy no matter how much loss he suffered, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.
"Grand Duke Willow, please listen to my explanation. I was also forced to do so. You know, my whole family and all my belongings are on this ship, so I can't take risks. But even so, I didn't choose to betray you. I just wanted to protect myself and stay away from this attack.
We are not strong enough, so it is understandable that we want to protect ourselves, right?" The old viscount panted and leaned on a cane, begging Feng Willow.
These words were sincere and heartfelt. If Feng Willow didn't know that there were a group of dragon flies hidden under his cabin, he would really believe the other party's lies.
In fact, the pitiful appearance and reasons of the nobles in front of them begging Feng Willow were no worse than those of the old viscount, but unfortunately they still died in Feng Willow's hands.
"Are these words your last words? If there are only these nonsense, then I will send your whole family to the road." Feng Willow said coldly.
Many nobles in front tried to let him let go of some children in the family, saying that these children were innocent after all, but in Feng Willow's view, the word innocent did not exist at all. After all, even if they were children, they had enjoyed care that ordinary people could not enjoy since birth.
Since they have enjoyed the care of the family, they should naturally share the joys and sorrows with the family.
"Grand Duke, I am still useful. I know the secret of their contact. I know the whole story of this attack and all the information. Can I keep my youngest son's life?" The old noble pleaded pitifully.
This old guy is over 60 years old, and his hair and beard are all white, but his youngest son is actually a toddler who can't speak yet. This old guy really knows how to enjoy himself.
"Okay, tell me all the news you know! As long as the news is valuable, I can spare your youngest son and even give him part of my property so that he will have no worries about food and clothing in the future. Of course, the prerequisite is that you really tell me everything." Feng Willow could see that the old guy wanted to delay time.
"It's a kind of sonic secret technique for ultra-long-distance communication. I don't know where the other party is. But when he was still at the port, the other party had already contacted him, and gave him advice all the way, and even provided him with a magic cloth to cover the detection." The old viscount, even after saying this, he still felt that he had hope of survival, after all, he was useful.
"Where is the magic cloth? Show it to me!" Feng Willow saw that the other party was rambling and didn't talk about the key points at all, and knew that the other party was still hoping for luck.
"You don't think that you have done so many things in secret, and I won't check your information, right? Why don't you tell me, how did those dragon flies containing plague hide on your ship? Why did you spread the plague in secret?" Feng Willow asked.
"You even know this?" The old man himself widened his eyes in surprise. He had hoped that he could survive before. But when Feng Willow said this, he knew that his last chance of survival had been cut off.
"Feng Weiluo, since you won't let me live, you can't have an easy life either." The old viscount roared, and in front of him, a space portal suddenly opened. Dragon flies quickly passed through the portal and attacked Feng Weiluo, and the old viscount wanted to take this opportunity to dive into the portal to avoid Feng Weiluo's attack.
Unfortunately, he still underestimated the power of the Plague Array. His space teleportation secret technique was indeed beyond Feng Weiluo's expectations, but he thought too much about escaping. Although the Plague Umbrella was still floating in the sky, it was only allowed to enter but not leave the Plague Array.
The Plague Umbrella sealed the sky and locked the earth, not only prohibiting people inside from escaping, but also restricting people in the Plague Array from escaping through the space secret technique.
Don't look at so many dragon flies, they can enter the Plague Array through his space secret technique, but when he wants to go out, he will hit the Plague Umbrella in the sky.
Not only the dragon flies summoned by the old viscount through the space gate, but also some dragon flies hidden in the bottom warehouse, all became agitated, quickly flew to the deck, and launched a desperate charge towards Feng Willow with their companions. Dragon flies are difficult to deal with, just because they are fearless and can have a great impact if there are more of them.
However, although they are fierce, their vitality is not strong, and it is easy to kill them.
"Dang!" The plague bell rang, and the dragon flies that were just fighting one after another seemed to be sprayed with insecticide. Their whole bodies were red, and scales began to fall off, and they no longer looked bloodthirsty and crazy.
This time they were infected with the red skin plague. It was not that the dehydration plague could not deal with these dragon flies, but the attack of the plague bell did not distinguish between enemies and friends. Especially in the plague formation, the plague bell would also be strongly amplified.
With just this one move, Feng Willow tried to reduce the power of the plague bell as much as possible, but it still killed a large number of slaves on many nearby ships.
After all, these slaves had already suffered from the dehydration plague, and now they were weak and barely alive. They were regarded as being undeserved disasters by these dragon flies.
The old viscount saw that his last trump card had lost its effect, and he had no hope of escaping at all, and he immediately fell into despair.
"Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Feng Willow, even if I die, I will never let you have an easy life. I curse you, I curse you with my life and the lives of all my direct blood relatives. You will be weak and suffer from various diseases." The old viscount suddenly cursed Feng Willow with red eyes.
And it was the most terrifying blood curse. When he cursed, all the people on the ship carrying his relatives died of bleeding from all seven orifices.
When they died one by one, they all looked horrible, as if they had encountered great terror before they died. In the end, only the old viscount was left. He watched his entire family die. Although he was bleeding from all seven orifices, he smiled strangely at Feng Weiluo.
"Feng Weiluo, aren't you good at using plague? I will let you die from the most terrifying plague in the world, which can be regarded as revenge for my family." After saying this, the old man swallowed his last breath.
Feng Weiluo did feel a little puzzled. As a plague messenger, if it was any other curse, he would really have to worry about it. After all, the curse summoned by sacrificing his own household registration book must be extremely terrifying.
But this guy actually used plague to curse him. Isn't this funny? What kind of plague can affect him as a plague messenger?
Even if he really got some terrible plague, with the three treasures of plague, he could keep his life and then control this terrible plague.
Using plague on him, isn't that equivalent to supplying him with ammunition?
However, even though he was confident in himself, Feng Weiluo still had a shadow in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Collect all the corpses of the rebellious nobles and the sequencers in their families. There were more than 120 of them. These corpses were all excellent materials for refining zombies. Feng Weiluo naturally couldn't waste them.
"Left-handed secret technique: raising corpses!"
The corpses of sequencers staggered up from the ground. Some of the corpses of sequencers of sequence nine and sequence eight could only be transformed into iron-armored corpses, while the corpses of those more powerful sequencers, especially those of the body-refining side, were the best materials for refining zombies. Once they were transformed into zombies, they were directly promoted to bronze-armored corpses.
With this batch of zombies, they could supplement the zombie army in Feng Willow's hands.
After dealing with all the traitors, the nobles left were only two or three kittens, which was really pitiful. There was only Baron Black and three small nobles on the same ship with him.
If they were not on the same ship with Black, they would have escaped. However, the three of them were not as strong as Black, so they naturally did not have as much say as Black on the ship, and could only follow him to the end.
Before, he secretly cursed Black for delaying himself, but now there was only deep gratitude in his heart.
Not only did the nobles die, but also the family members on the same ship with them, as well as the slaves and servants of the nobles, all died.
In addition, nearly half of the slaves died. That is, nearly half of all the slaves transported this time died. Feng Willow sounded the plague bell three times, putting everyone in a dying state. The sailors were fine, after all, they were in a different environment.
But the slaves were miserable. Their living environment was already crowded, and with vomiting and diarrhea, their environment was even worse.
Many people died before Feng Willow could finally perform the secret technique of extracting the plague.
In this battle, Feng Willow did not lose any property. The biggest loss was the number of slaves. In the end, only more than 16,000 slaves survived.
They were able to survive because of their strong bodies. This batch was all strong and healthy young men, and they had also experienced a selection.
Many sailors also died. Some were killed by the pirates after they boarded the ship, and some were unable to withstand Feng Willow's three plague bells and could not hold on to the end.
Fortunately, many of the slaves were able to do some sailor work, so Feng Willow promoted some of the slaves to be sailors to help him sail the unmanned ships back to the territory. (End of this chapter)
