Episode 204 65. A Splendid Return

One.

Harain, the leader of the Sea Devil Pirates, looked at the huge ship with a cruel smile.

“No matter how strong they are on land, it’s a different story at sea. Hehe.”

A large ship leisurely sailing alone across the sea.

The ship was topped by a blue wolf flag.

Harane knew full well that it was the flag that symbolized the Duke of Reston.

Nevertheless, he intended to attack that ship.

“Boss! The cannons are ready!”

“As soon as you come within striking distance, we will begin attacking. Give the order.”

“Yep!”

He gave a firm order to his adjutant, then looked back at the ship.

That ship departed from the Southern Great Forest.

Until now, the Southern Great Forest was a forbidden sea even for pirates.

There was a rumor going around that if you just went there you would see hell.

But a lot has changed recently.

Didn’t the Duke of Reston start trading with the Southern Great Forest?

The ship in front of us could be said to be the symbol of that trade.

“If we can just rob that ship, we can get out of this damned piracy.”

Haran examined the Duke of Greston’s ship with a greedy expression.

It is a trading ship with the southern great forest.

Couldn’t it be possible to capture not only all kinds of precious items, but even elves?

“If you can make your life easier once, then it’s worth taking a gamble, right? Isn’t that right, you little punks!”

“Kuuuuuuu! That’s right, boss!”

“Are we also graduating from this miserable life?”

The men were very pirate-like.

As his subordinates cheered, Harain smiled with satisfaction.

“Your Majesty, that old woman is no longer a pirate. How could she give up something so delicious when she is a pirate! Pirate Empress? That’s ridiculous.”

Harain chuckled as he recalled the order the Empress had sent through her messenger.

“Never attack a ship flying the Blue Wolf flag.”

The southern seas of the continent belong to the pirate empress.

Anyone who enters the Pirate Empress’s territory must be prepared to be attacked.

The reason so many pirate groups came under the Empress’s command was simply to commit piracy in the South Seas.

But you want me to commit piracy while sailing a ship?

After hearing such words, would there be any reason to remain under the Empress?

“Pirates should be pirates.”

Biting anyone and getting what you want.

That’s what Harain thought a pirate was.

“Boss. But if we rob that ship, won’t the Empress come after us?”

One of the stupid subordinates rolled his eyes and asked.

Then Harain answered while hitting the subordinate’s head.

“You idiot. I’ll raid that ship and head straight to the smuggling port of the Kingdom of Zion. The Empress is the Empress at sea, but can you follow her on land?”

“I don’t feel well, boss. It’s like the rum I had yesterday is still on me… … .”

“What a fucking idiot!”

Phew!

Harane, still wearing his gauntlet, punched his subordinate in the stomach, and the subordinate vomited and fell backwards.

“Anyway, the Duke of Reston’s bastards can’t just enter the Kingdom of Zion. We can quickly dispose of them at the smuggling port and go deep into the continent. Do you know what happens to kids like us if we think about tomorrow? We won’t be able to live through today either. Do you understand?”

Hara-line was famous for her ruthless hands.

The subordinates reluctantly nodded their heads at Haraine’s threats.

“Even if there are knight cubs on that ship, if you shoot a cannon from afar, it’s over. What can the knight cubs do?”

“The boss is right!”

“The most prestigious families in the empire are directly involved in the trade. Do you really not understand what that means, you idiots?”

Harain shouted, pointing at his stomach with his finger.

“That ship is full of gold. We’ve been pirating our whole lives, but we’ve never had an opportunity like this before. Do you understand?”

A golden opportunity to change your life.

The reason the Seagull Pirates have been able to steadily increase their power up until now is in part due to Haraine’s speaking skills.

From the art of speaking to inspiring greed in his subordinates to generous rewards.

The right carrot and stick, that’s the greatest weapon Haran has ever used to grow.

And it was the same this time.

“This time, the one who does the most good deed will be the first to rob that ship. So everyone, go back to your ships and get ready!”

“Yes, boss!”

“I will prepare!”

There are six ships in total in the pirate fleet.

As Harain made his promise, the captains of each ship returned to their ships, laughing greedily.

With the cannons ready to fire, the Duke of Reston’s ships soon came within firing range.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the blood of the Empire’s bastards.”

Harain raised his hand with a satisfied smile and gave orders to each ship.

“Start firing simultaneously from the ships ready to launch!”

Just as he was about to wave his hand and give the order to fire.

“Two, boss! Look, look at that!”

The stupid subordinate who had just been punched out shouted while pointing at something with his finger.

“Has this kid come to his senses yet? Anyway, these kids shouldn’t listen to anything.”

“It’s true!”

Harain looked where his subordinate was pointing, and after a moment, he froze with his mouth open.

“……tide?”

tide.

A wave was approaching that would devour the pirate fleet and still have some left over.

I don’t know what happened, but it definitely seemed like there was a wizard named Bismuri on that ship.

“Hey, wizard! Tell the wizards to stop those waves!”

Harain gave orders to the magicians belonging to the pirate group.

“Can’t stop it.”

“That’s not magic… … it’s not magic!”

The wizards just answered with cold sweat.

But their fear didn’t end there.

The stupid subordinate who first saw the wave pointed his finger at the top of the wave and shouted.

“There’s someone on the waves!”

“What a crazy kid! Who the hell is on top of the waves… … .”

Harane took out his telescope and scanned the waves.

It was to find out for myself whether the rumor that there was someone on the waves was true or not.

And at that moment.

“… … Is there really someone there?”

As his subordinate had said, a young knight was standing on the waves.

A knight in black armor.

Hara-line’s hair turned white at the scene that defied common sense.

What is that giant wave and what is that article about?

“Boss! I give you the order… … .”

There was no time to think long.

Haran threw his telescope to the floor and screamed in exasperation.

“What are you doing, you idiots! Attack now, right now… … .”

But it was already too late.

The waves that had already reached the fleet began to devour the pirate ships.

Kuuuuuuung-!

It gave a huge shock to the flagship that Harain was riding on.

The boat rocked.

Fortunately, it did not capsize, but the pirates preparing to attack on the deck were horribly knocked down.

The same was true for Haraine.

“Keuh-uh-uh!”

The tremendous impact caused his body to roll across the floor.

Harain barely managed to keep his balance by concentrating his magical power on his lower body. Then he stood up with a frown on his face.

No, I tried to stand up.

‘Counterattack right away… … .’

But Harain did not achieve what he wanted.

Kwuuk.

“Lie down comfortably. Make yourself comfortable.”

Someone pressed their foot against Haraine’s back, and a playful voice rang in Haraine’s ear.

“I thought the Empress had complete control over the pirates, but I guess not. Well, there’s no way the pirate kids can be controlled.”

It was a young voice.

But Harain couldn’t even put up any resistance.

Just hold your breath and focus on the other person’s voice.

“If you want to live, nod your head.”

At those words, Harain nodded earnestly.

This article is of unimaginable strength.

He created a wave and rode that wave to reach this ship.

What could possibly work against such a strong person?

‘First of all, we must save our lives.’

The survival instinct that had allowed me to survive for so long was screaming loudly.

Don’t rebel.

If you rebel, you die.

That’s why he decided to be true to his instincts.

“Please, just let me live!”

The knight laughed out loud at those words.

“I’ll try to save you.”

“Thank you… … .”

“But wouldn’t it have been better if you had just died? It doesn’t mean I have good intentions if I let you live.”

Phew.

The sword pierced Haraine’s thigh.

“Sharks are so good at smelling blood. I guess I’ll have to try using you as bait. Are you okay with that?”

It was only then that Harain realized.

That’s why the Empress told me not to touch the Duke of Reston.

“From now on, you’re bait number one. Bait number one. Are you confident that you can become shark food?”

The devil, the devil was whispering to him.

2.

Only this one pirate survived Charon’s hand.

Charon sank five of the six pirate ships and drowned eight pirates at sea.

You could hardly even call it a battle.

The pirates didn’t even put up a proper fight, and Charon easily cleared them out and returned to the Duke of Reston’s trading ship.

-Hmm. Caron. These pirates are untrustworthy. Even those who swear loyalty to you will betray you at any time.

“So, Your Majesty is not responsible?”

-It’s none of my business. I clearly warned the other guys not to touch me.

“It is truly regrettable that the Empress’s leadership is limited to this extent.”

Charon was talking to the Empress through the communication port.

“What would have happened if I hadn’t been on this ship?”

-Is our cute baby wolf holding me responsible now?

“If you’re going to take the money, you have to do your work properly.”

-Don’t you intend to respect the elderly?

“Should I swear at you? I feel like I could really swear at you right now.”

-You’re cute.

The thing that Charon hates the most in the world is touching his food bowl.

Wasn’t it because of the Empress’s protection that we were able to start maritime trade with the Southern Great Forest?

In this situation, if the Empress cannot control the pirates, the damage will be great.

The route from the South Sea to the West Sea is a route swarming with pirates.

Considering the value of the trade, it was certainly worth the pirates risking their lives for.

-I’ll tell you in advance, my elite pirate fleet will not attack your family’s ship. But I can’t take care of each and every one of the rascals, right? And not all pirates are under my command.

The Empress’s humming could be heard through the communication port.

-And what if I openly suppress the pirates? Won’t rumors spread that the Pirate Empress is a lackey of the Duke of Reston?

“We’ve got the hunting dogs under control, so let’s take care of the pyramids?”

– It means that if you keep acting like this, it will be difficult. Cute Charon. It was my consideration for you that opened the way. No matter how young you are, you have to take care of your own rice bowl, right? I think I have already done enough for you.

If the heroes under the Empress move, trade with the elves will not be possible.

Heroes are trained hunting dogs.

Even if they were the Duke of Reston, it was impossible for them to fight on the sea.

So, Charon had no choice but to take a step back.

“Then, as the Empress said, I will take care of the pyramids?”

Then the Empress answered with a smile.

-Haha, it should have been like that from the beginning.

“I’m hanging up.”

-Okay.

Woof.

After the communication port was deactivated, Charon threw it on the floor nervously.

Then Leo sighed and said.

“Things didn’t go well?”

“He told us to figure it out ourselves. Anyway, you shouldn’t trust pirate kids like this.”

How to solve this problem?

This time, it wasn’t a problem because Charon was on the ship.

But what about the trade after this?

It was obvious that a herd of lynxes would constantly rush in after smelling the sweet scent.

“Action must be taken.”

This shouldn’t be happening.

Wasn’t trading with the elves a solid source of income to fill one’s pockets?

Caron pounded his desk, lost in thought.

‘What should I do?’

At the moment when he was thinking of a way to suppress the pirates’ greed, Caron’s eyes caught sight of the face of the pirate leader Haraine, who was covered in wounds.

“hey.”

When Caron called Haraine, Haraine answered while lying face down on the floor.

“Just speak, just speak.”

“Do you know of any places around here where pirate kids hang out? What do you guys call that?”

“Pirate Island… … you mean? Yes, yes. There are several. Small and medium-sized pirate groups anchor there… … to replenish supplies or… … .”

“That’s good.”

A good idea occurred to me.

There is only one way to suppress greed.

fear.

Only fear can overwhelm greed.

“Do you know where it is?”

“of course.”

“Okay. You guide us to the pirate island.”

You must not touch the Duke of Reston’s ship, that’s the only correct proposition you have to instill in their heads.

If we burn down the pirate islands as soon as we see them, we’ll be able to instill enough fear in them.

Was it the expression on Caron’s face that made him laugh bitterly?

“What are you thinking, Caron?”

Leo asked Charon cautiously.

Then Caron answered with a big smile.

“Brother. Do you have any plans to become the Pirate King?”

“That crazy guy.”

“I will become the Pirate King. You, become my comrade.”

“What a crazy guy.”

Pirate’s hell.

A mad dog that shouldn’t be touched.

This is how the nickname “Sea Demon”, Charon Reston, was born.

It was two weeks later that rumors began to spread that ten pirate islands had been burned by Caron.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
