The end of the world came so quickly?
That was the only thing the Bloody Baron felt. Everything that was happening before his eyes was like a dream.
Of course he knew that the Skeleton Party was powerful, because he had heard countless legends about them since he was young, but most of them were fake. Even now, the entire sea was filled with the legend of the Bloody Baron, praising him as if he was a god.
He had risen to power over the past decade, so he had never fought with the Skeleton Party. However, the Black Pearl was the descendant of the Skeleton Party. Although they were powerful, they were not much stronger than the Bloody Baron's fleet.
Hence, for a long time, the Bloody Baron felt that the Skeleton Party was a myth. Even if their fleet was stronger than his, it would be limited.
Yet now, his powerful allied forces could not fight back at all. Only wars on land would happen, but he did not expect a war on the sea to happen as well.
In less than an hour, his entire fleet was dismembered, and he could not do anything about it.
At this time, all efforts and commands are useless. They can only watch helplessly as their ships catch fire one by one and sink one by one.
His entire body turned cold, and he lost all his senses. It was unreal.
He could only watch as his pirate fleet disappeared, waiting for the moment of destruction to arrive.
… …
Not only did the Bloody Baron think so, but Shen Lang too. He was shocked by the scene before him.
How could they fight like this? He thought that both fleets would first shoot at each other with giant crossbows, then arrows. Who knew that there was no such thing.
They were jumping off the ships to fight.
The Skeleton Party's fleet was like a ferocious tiger released from its cage. They used top-notch technology to approach the enemy's warships, then jumped onto the enemy's ships to kill and set them on fire.
How was this a war on the sea? It was clearly a battle of cold weapons on land.
The Skeleton Party's archery was actually very good, and they could shoot a target from a hundred steps away. However, they did not like bows and arrows, and preferred to jump onto the ships with blades. After killing everyone, they would start to set the ships on fire, and enter the bottom of the ship to cut through the ship.
Shen Lang thought that he was fighting one against two, but he did not expect that a few dozen Skeleton Party members would dare to charge into the enemy's ship and chase after a few hundred people, the crucial point was that the few hundred people were wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, they were so ferocious that they were inhuman.
It was too easy, too easy. This was the feeling of the Skeleton pirates, were the pirates now all so disappointing? How could he kill them so effortlessly?
It was not that the Bloody Baron's pirates were too weak, but that they were too strong. Over the past few years, they had fought against the most ferocious Sea Monster Legions. This was a Hell Mode Dungeon. Now that they had entered a Normal Mode Dungeon, they felt as if they had entered a Beginner's Village and started a massacre.
At first, the pirates under the Bloody Baron looked down on the Skeleton Army. Many of them were old, and they looked terrible. They could not even stand properly and were swaying unsteadily. But when the Skeleton Party rushed over, they felt like ordinary people seeing a sea monster, their legs trembled, and they were completely intimidated by the other party's terrifying aura.
… …
After nearly twenty hours, the battle ended.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it was normal for naval battles to last for days and nights without a ship sinking.
It was not that Shen Lang had never fought in a naval battle before. He had even destroyed Xue Che's fleet of tens of thousands, but it had also lasted for a few days and nights. It was a game of cat and mouse. In this world, naval battles were more like those on land in the Eastern world. Both sides set up their formation and madly attacked each other.
The Bloody Baron's fleet also wanted to escape, but it was almost impossible. Although the Skeleton Party's ships could not be seen through, their speed was simply too fast. In the end, only a few ships managed to escape the pursuit of the Skeleton Party.
This battle could be said to be a complete annihilation.
"It ended just like that?" Shen Lang said in disbelief. He originally thought that this kind of battle with tens of thousands of ships would last for a few days and nights.
"Yes, it ended," Hila said. "But let me correct you. This was not a battle at all. It was just a massacre."
Yes, a massacre.
Countless corpses floated on the surface of the sea, as well as the burning wreckage of ships. The entire surface of the sea was almost burning, and there was blood and flames for hundreds of miles.
"How many casualties did we suffer?" Shen Lang asked.
"I don't know, but there were very few casualties," Hila said.
Shen Lang asked, "Then how many casualties did the enemy suffer?"
"I don't know, but it must be a lot." Hila said, "We used to fight like this before. We just charge forward and kill until we can't see the enemy or the enemy ships."
Awesome, you guys are awesome!
"Dang dang dang dang dang dang …" The ear-piercing bell rang again, but this time, it was no longer the enemy. Instead, it was the last carnival of the Skeleton Party, like a cat playing with a mouse.
The Skeleton Party's fleet surrounded a ship, the flagship of the Bloody Baron. Hundreds of warships surrounded it mercilessly.
Because this battle was too easy, the Skeleton Party did not attack the enemy's flagship but stayed to play with it. Many of the bigger ships were not even sunk but captured. Large warships were very precious.
… …
The Bloody Baron's flagship was very big. It had a displacement of two to three thousand tons, and there were more than a few hundred sailors.
But now, these sailors stood on the deck with blank faces, not knowing what to do. Because they were surrounded by tens of thousands of Skeleton Party members, they did not move at all.
Shen Lang's flagship slowly approached the Bloody Baron's flagship.
The two ships were dozens of meters away from each other, and then they entered a state of relative stillness. This group of people's control skills were really amazing.
"Bloody Baron, how have you been?" Shen Lang smiled.
Shaw Menlo still stood there, not moving, as if he had not woken up from a nightmare.
His fleet of tens of thousands was gone just like that? More than a decade of hard work was gone just like that?
Wasn't it a little too fast?
He still had to rely on this fleet to build his career. He still wanted to become a Vice Admiral, and he still wanted his family to rise.
Now, it was all gone?
"Do you still want to fight?" Shen Lang asked.
Hearing this, the Bloody Baron could not help but be stunned. "What did you say?"
Shen Lang asked, "Do you still want to fight? Shall we continue? "
Hearing this, the pirates on the Bloody Baron's flagship all shook their heads and threw away the machetes in their hands.
"Do you want to live?" Shen Lang asked.
The enemy pirates nodded desperately. Of course, they wanted to live.
Shen Lang said, "If you jump into the sea and swim back home, you will be able to live."
F * ck your grandpa, this place is thousands of miles away from the nearest land. Why don't you try swimming back?
"Do you want me to repeat myself?" Shen Lang asked. Either you jump into the sea and swim back, or I will order the Skeleton Army to rush over and kill you all. "
"Five, four, three, two, one …"
"Plop, plop …" Suddenly, like dumplings in water, the surviving pirates all jumped into the sea.
"Swim, swim back. If you don't, we will shoot arrows!"
The Skeleton Army drew their bows and aimed at the enemy pirates on the water. This group of people desperately swam, desperately swimming, crying as they swam.
In the past, they could only see such a tragic scene when they killed others. Now, it was their turn.
… …
The Bloody Baron came in front of Shen Lang and stared at him for a long time. His face was very serious, which reminded Shen Lang of the first time he met him. He was meticulous like a noble.
Shen Lang said, "What goes around comes around, Bloody Baron. When you locked me up, sank my ship, and killed my sailors, did you think this day would come?"
The Bloody Baron still stood straight and motionless, as if he was full of pride.
Shen Lang said coldly, "Monroe Shaw, when you were chasing Black Pearl and the others, did you ever think that one day, the hunter would become the prey?"
The Bloody Baron still stood with his head held high, not saying a word.
Shen Lang was stunned. Was this man so stubborn? Even at this point, he still wouldn't admit defeat and beg for mercy?
It didn't seem like it at all. Although the Bloody Baron liked to put on airs, he was the most cunning and shameless person. His ability to recognize a thief as his father was very strong.
However, in the next second, the Bloody Baron knelt down and kowtowed. "Your subject, Monroe Shaw, greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
You're even speaking Chinese. What kind of show are you putting on? You're too good at flattery. Did Shen Lang really not know that this person could speak Chinese?
Then, the Bloody Baron still said meticulously, "I, Monroe Shaw, have wasted decades, and only now have I met a wise ruler like you. The heavens have pity on me. From now on, I am His Majesty Shen Lang's lackey. Your will is the direction of my battle. Please accept my allegiance. "
After that, the Bloody Baron's forehead touched the ground, and he remained motionless.
That's more like it. Bloody Baron, you should always be this shameless. When Duchess Deborah was powerful, you knelt in front of her and pledged your allegiance. You even made eyes at her and tried to become her gigolo, but Deborah didn't respond.
Then, when Deborah was unlucky, he knelt in front of Adolf and showed his ferocious face to Deborah, biting back a few times.
Now, he knelt in front of Shen Lang and pledged his allegiance.
But it's good that you're begging for mercy. Now, I can happily kill you. Shen Lang hated it when his enemies were stubborn and scolded him before they died. That was too annoying, and the victory was not complete.
The enemy would first kneel in front of him and cry bitterly, begging bitterly, and then kill him. That would be perfect.
Shen Lang said, "Bloody Baron, do you know that I have a nickname in the Eastern world?"
The Bloody Baron said, "I'd like to hear the details, Your Majesty."
Shen Lang said, "The heartless castrator."
As soon as this was said, the Bloody Baron's expression changed drastically, and his body trembled. After a long while, he smiled and said, "It's my honor to be His Majesty Shen Lang's eunuch."
Shen Lang said, "Then, will you do it yourself?"
This was too much. He even wanted me to castrate myself?
Clang … A sharp knife was thrown in front of the Bloody Baron.
The Bloody Baron made a difficult choice, then clenched his teeth and picked up the knife on the ground. He said in an aria tone, "Every time I see Eunuch Talon, I deeply feel that perhaps being a eunuch is also a kind of honor. Loyalty is priceless! Now, I will use my actions to express my infinite fear and loyalty to His Majesty Shen Lang. Talon used his life to prove his loyalty to Duchess Deborah, and I will use my life to prove mine in the future. "
Then, the Bloody Baron swung his sword and castrated himself.
Shen Lang immediately looked away, but Hila was watching with great interest. Her scalp went numb, and even Shen Lang felt a chill down his spine.
This person was too powerful. He was definitely a werewolf to be able to do such a thing to himself.
After castrating himself, the Bloody Baron trembled all over and continued to kneel on the ground, motionless. He was crying.
That was his lifeblood, something he needed to carry on his family line, and even half of his life's goal. He had never married until now. Although he had many illegitimate children, he did not have any legitimate children. He had always wanted to find a noble lady to marry. He had dreamed of restoring the glory of the House of Menlo.
But now, everything was over. Even his lifeblood was gone, so how could he talk about carrying on his family line? Fortunately, he had an illegitimate child, so he could choose one to inherit the family business.
As long as he could keep his life, everything would be fine, and he might even have a chance to make a comeback in the future. Although he had lost, Adolf had not, and Sauron the Great was like the sun in the sky. He might even have a chance to take revenge in the future by castrating Shen Lang and cutting him into a thousand pieces.
As long as the Bloody Baron survives, he would take revenge a thousand times over for everything that happened today.
Shen Lang sighed. "Monroe Shaw, it has not been easy for you. I know you have always wanted to restore the glory of the House of Menlo. Everything you have done is for this dream. "
The Bloody Baron kowtowed and trembled. He cried, "Your Majesty knows me well."
"But …" Shen Lang said, "What glory does your broken family have? So what if it has recovered? Don't pretend to be a prince of a fallen country, okay? Your shitty family, if it is destroyed, then so be it. Do you think you're Murong Fu? Who knows how many trashy clans like yours have perished? Don't act like your ancestors are so rich, okay? You usually act like a decent person, but since you are a pirate, you should act like a pirate and act like a noble. What's wrong with that? Do you have any professional ethics? "
The blood type baron was taken aback. What did he mean by that? But he still kowtowed respectfully. "Thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty. I will never forget it."
Shen Lang said, "Since you have knelt and been castrated, I am satisfied. Now you can die in peace."
"Someone, cut off the Bloody Baron's tongue and hang him on the mast. He must be executed after we return to Bi Jin City. If he dies before that, I will punish him." After Shen Lang gave the order, he left without saying anything else.
The Bloody Baron was left kneeling on the ground. F * ck me, is Shen Lang so despicable? I am already so despicable, and you still want to kill me? If I knew I would not live, why would I humiliate myself like this?
All of a sudden, he wanted to curse out loud. But the next second, an old man appeared in front of him.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …" He first cut off the Bloody Baron's limbs, then stuck a knife into his mouth and twisted it.
The Bloody Baron's tongue was crushed. He wanted to curse out loud, but he could not make any sound.
"Remove the chin and stitch up the wound. Don't bleed to death."
Next, a few doctors came over and meticulously stitched up the wound on the Bloody Baron's tongue. They even used extravagant medicine.
"Hang it up, hang it up …"
Under the cheers of the Skeleton pirates, the Bloody Baron was raised to the pole like a flag.
Another Skeleton pirate quickly climbed up and took out a small knife.
He was very nervous. He had been out of practice for many years, and he didn't know if he would be able to pick it up again. He definitely couldn't lose face in front of His Majesty Shen Lang and Her Highness Helen. This was a job that would allow him to show his face.
I need to practice first to get the feeling.
This Skeleton pirate was an Asian. He picked up a sharp knife and cut the Bloody Baron's body to get the feeling.
"Ah … Ah … Ah …"
The Bloody Baron let out a series of miserable howls.
"Shen Lang, f * ck your mother. I can't wait to kill you. You beast, you bastard."
You deserve to be cut into pieces. Why don't the heavens strike you to death? Master Adolf will avenge me.
The Bloody Baron roared with all his might, but he could not say a word. He regretted not cursing in the beginning.
"Good, good …"
Countless Skeleton pirates cheered and applauded, watching the executioner's performance.
… …
Another person stood in front of Shen Lang. It was Dodge Russo.
He really did not know what to do. He wanted to kneel down and cry. However, after witnessing the Bloody Baron crying and begging for mercy, Lin Li wondered if he should take another path.
"Lord Shen Lang, please treat me like a noble. I'm a member of the Russo family, and I'm the cousin of Duchess Debus." Dodge Russo said arrogantly, "I'm different from Monroe Shaw. He's just a lowly pirate, and I'm the son of a noble for hundreds of years. I hope your actions will not bring shame to your family."
Shen Lang looked at him silently. I won't say anything. I'll just watch you act cool.
"Please give me a cabin, a few servants, and inform my family. They will pay me something of equal value to redeem my freedom."
"Lord Shen Lang, please follow the rules of the nobility. Otherwise, you will not be able to do anything in the Western world." “
Shen Lang finally spoke. He said directly, "Kneel."
"Okay!" Dodge Russo knelt down without another word.
"Close your eyes," Shen Lang said.
Dodge Russo's body trembled. He closed his eyes, but tears gushed out. Finally, he could not hold it in anymore and cried, "My dear brother-in-law, I was forced. I didn't want to rebel. My subordinates forced me to rebel. Please don't kill me, don't kill me. Sister Debus thinks very highly of me, and once gave me a sword. "
Shen Lang said, "Oh? Really? Which sword? Can I see it? "
Dodge Russo untied the magnificent sword at his waist and handed it to Shen Lang with both hands.
"Good sword, good sword!" Shen Lang took a deep breath, and then he exerted all his strength to suddenly slash down.
Dodge Russo's body slumped to the ground, twitching as he died. His eyes were wide open, unable to rest in peace.
Then, a few Skeleton pirates walked in and dragged Dodge Russo's body away.
"Salute to you, Your Majesty." One of the pirates suddenly said, "I realized that although you don't have the strength to truss a chicken, you're a true pirate. You're not like a noble, nor are you like a king."
Shen Lang said, "Isn't that good?"
"That's great, this is our Skull Party's favourite leader."
… …
After a while, Princess Helen walked in.
"What's wrong? Sister, are you going to blame me for being temperamental and not having any noble honor to speak of? "Shen Lang asked.
"No, this is your territory. Whatever you say is the rule." Princess Helen said, "We are family, but there are some things we can only seek common ground while reserving our differences. I won't preach to you. I just want to say that I understand what you mean by there is no enmity in the world. "
Shen Lang said, "Sister, enjoy the voyage from now on. When we reach Bi Jin City, you will receive the cheers of tens of thousands. You can't understand how the entire southern empire is looking forward to your return. Especially Debus, she is looking forward to your return. "
… …
At this time, outside, there was a drama of recognizing relatives.
The thousand pirates under Black Pearl were all descendants of the Skeleton Party. When the Skeleton Party went south to explore the ruins of the Lost Nation, they were still children.
Today, some were lucky to find their parents, but more were unfortunate. That was because the 120,000 Skeleton Party soldiers were only left with 40,000.
Black Pearl went crazy and searched the warships one by one, looking for her parents.
"Daddy, Mommy!"
"Daddy, Mommy …"
While searching with all their might, Shen Lang stood on the deck and looked at everything.
Black Pearl seemed to be destined to be disappointed. Among the 40,000 survivors of the Skeleton Party, there were only a few black people. Most of them were Caucasians, Quidah Tribesmen, and a small number of Asians.
However, in the next second, the Black Pearl suddenly rushed towards an old pirate and hugged him fiercely. Following that, a female pirate rushed over, and the three of them hugged each other tightly. It was a family reunion.
However, Black Pearl's father was a Caucasian, and her mother was a Quidah Tribesman. How could she give birth to a black person?
"Not biological, adopted," Hila said. "This situation is very normal. When the Skeleton Party goes out to fight, they will bring back children to raise them. In fact, a large number of children are not biological."
"Daddy, Mommy, I dream of you." Black Pearl hugged the two old pirates and cried tears of joy.
… …
After the battle, a portion of the Skeleton Party fleet went to Saltpeter Island to transport saltpeter, while the rest returned to Bi Jin City. They originally wanted to go directly to Bi Jin City, but they chased after the Bloody Baron's pirate fleet for thousands of miles.
After the fleet left, countless pirates were left on the surface of the sea, and Shen Lang ordered them to swim back home.
"Your Majesty Shen Lang, save us."
"We are willing to surrender, we surrender …"
"Save us!"
Shen Lang turned a deaf ear and ordered the fleet to continue forward, leaving these pirates on the surface of the sea.
After a moment, the sound of crying shook the sky, and these pirates sank one after another, dying silently.
Shen Lang had once said that he would not leave a single captive, and that he would wipe out the Bloody Baron's fleet without leaving a single person alive.
As a person, he had to do what he said!
… …
After sailing for a few days and nights, Bi Jin City was already in sight.
Shen Lang smiled. "Sister Helen, how does it feel to be returning to your homeland after more than a decade?"
Princess Helen replied, "At this time, should I say that I'm afraid of returning home?"
Shen Lang replied, "You can't imagine how warmly the entire Southern Empire will welcome you. When Duchess Debus sees you, she will definitely feel relieved and overjoyed."
Princess Helen said, "My dear brother, perhaps you shouldn't say that about your wife."
Shen Lang wasn't exaggerating in the slightest. Debus, this political creature, was always longing for Princess Helen's return and for her to acknowledge Shen Lang as her younger brother. This way, she would be able to regain all her honor.
The fleet was getting closer and closer to the magnificent Bi Jin City.
Looking into the distance, Shen Lang's expression couldn't help but change.
Bi Jin City had changed, something big was happening!
"Quick, speed up!" Shen Lang ordered.
"My dear sister Helen, we must speed up. Perhaps Bi Jin City needs to wait for you, the ruler of the Southern Empire, to reverse the situation." “
