"Only three, what a pity."
Kaede Sato looked at the pirate fleet that gradually disappeared into the night storm, and then looked at the pirate ships that he temporarily controlled with the three Heavenly King Level Pixies. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
The plan was perfect, but unfortunately, reality was cruel. He found that with his own strength, temporarily controlling three pirate ships was the most he could do. Any more and he would not be able to control the pirates who were still on the ships.
Moreover, many pirates had already abandoned their ships and fled when he wanted to rob another pirate ship. In order to let the three pirate ships operate normally, he must leave some pirate captives behind to sail the ships.
"Listen up, if you want to live, then listen to me obediently. Sail the ship to the patrol ship and pick up the people there."
Kaede Sato dismissed the idea of continuing to pursue. He directly teleported to the nearest pirate ship, and then said viciously to the dozen or so pirates on the deck with fear on their faces through telepathy.
Pirates were afraid of the strong, and at the same time, they would obediently submit to the strong. At this time, when they heard Kaede Sato's words, they could not help but feel relieved. Then, they nodded in response and quickly sailed the ship.
At this moment, the pirates on the ship were most afraid that they would lose their value in front of Kaede Sato, and the consequence of losing their value was likely to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
It couldn't be helped. Kaede Sato defeated the Black Shark Pirates by himself tonight, and the extent of his ruthlessness towards the pirates had already scared them out of their wits. This was the main reason why so many pirates were willing to risk the storm and abandon their ships to escape.
They were really afraid that Kaede Sato would wipe all of their cards if he was unhappy. But now, it seemed that Kaede Sato was still a reasonable master. He did not start a massacre as soon as he arrived, and even made a promise.
It has to be said that ordinary trainers still have a lot of trust in the words of a Heavenly King Level trainer. In their opinion, a Heavenly King Level trainer would not bother to lie to them.
Next, Kaede Sato also said the same thing to the pirates on the remaining two pirate ships, and they quickly obeyed.
A few minutes later, under Kaede Sato's command, three pirate ships quickly approached the cruiser that was on the verge of silence. Along the way, they also picked up some passengers who were already in the lifeboats.
As the number of guards, sailors, and trainers on the three ships increased, Kaede Sato's control over the three pirate ships also increased rapidly.
Towards the end, the people controlling the three pirate ships had all changed hands. The pirates on the ships were completely captured and imprisoned.
"Thank you so much. It's all thanks to your help that we were able to survive this disaster. I thank you on behalf of the crew and passengers of the Ocean Sky."
On the largest pirate ship that Kaede Sato captured, Captain Lei Gu, who was covered in bandages, came in front of Kaede Sato with the help of the first and second mates. Then he said to Kaede Sato with a face full of gratitude.
After he finished speaking, he gently pushed the first and second mates away and wanted to give Kaede Sato a deep bow.
"Please don't say that, old mister. Quickly get up. You're too much for me. I can't accept it."
Kaede Sato didn't dare to let Lei Gu bow to him. He immediately went forward to support Lei Gu and spoke to Lei Gu with the attitude of a junior.
Lei Gu saw that Kaede Sato was determined not to let him do so, so he didn't continue to insist. He nodded with a smile and continued to discuss some important matters with Kaede Sato. Then he went to rest with the help of the first and second mates.
It was already very late at night. The survivors on the cruise ship were all exhausted. After they were a little safer, most of them relaxed and quickly fell asleep due to the intense fatigue.
Fortunately, the three pirate ships were big enough and there were many rooms on them. It was enough to accommodate the few hundred survivors on the cruise ship.
Of course, because this was a pirate ship, the smell on the ship was naturally very unpleasant. But now, no one would complain or cause trouble because of this. After all, they were already very lucky to be alive.
However, most people were asleep, but some people were still frightened. For example, the kingdom's princess who grew up in a honey pot.
Although she survived under the protection of many loyal and devoted guards, she was also heavily injured. Her forehead, hands, and thighs were all injured, and the burning pain made it impossible for her to sleep.
The cries of the survivors who had been injured or lost their loved ones because of this attack had stimulated her sensitive heart, causing her to blame herself incessantly. At the same time, she felt an incomparable hatred for the people behind her who had tried every possible means to kill her.
"I have to survive. Only by surviving and ascending to the throne can I atone for my sins and destroy those damned people."
Princess Rena of the kingdom held the quilt in her hand tightly. Then, she turned her head to look at the storm outside the window and made up her mind.
However, when she thought about how more than half of the guards sent by the kingdom to protect her had been sacrificed in this attack, she couldn't help but have a strong sense of confusion about the rest of the journey.
"Right, if I can get the help of that lord, my journey back to the kingdom will definitely be safer than it is now."
But soon, Kaede Sato's figure appeared in Rena's mind.
At that time, Kaede Sato came riding on the legendary Lightning Bird. Then, like a god descending from the heavens, he completely reversed the situation on the ship that was on the verge of destruction in one fell swoop and defeated the pirates. In the end, he even took the initiative to chase the pirates for several nautical miles and took over three pirate ships.
These magnificent feats were deeply engraved in Rena's mind. She couldn't help but have a strong sense of admiration for Kaede Sato. At the same time, her heart began to beat wildly again.
But that lord doesn't owe me anything. I should be grateful that he saved me this time. I still have to thank him properly in the future. How can I put him in danger now?
However, the cruel reality soon made Rena sober as she thought with a gloomy expression.
Fortunately, Rena was a member of the royal family after all. She had received a good education since young. Usually, perhaps because the environment was too comfortable, she didn't have to think about survival and was immature.
But ever since her father's mysterious death, she had been hunted on the way back to the kingdom. She had quickly matured and began to know how to use the resources in her hands to rope in others.
After all, she was supported by a kingdom with a population of nearly a million people. The conditions she could offer were very generous. Although it was just an empty promise at the moment, as long as she succeeded the throne, all the promises would be fulfilled.
I just hope that someone is willing to accept this empty promise. No, I have to give more benefits. If I can make my lord a guardian knight of the kingdom, everything will be worth it.
Rena's little brain began to work at high speed. She kept thinking about how to get Kaede Sato to help her return to the kingdom. In the end, she finally made a big decision.
Just as Rena was lying in bed thinking about the problem, the three pirate ships under the control of the patrol ship quickly caught up with the huge cargo ship that was slowly moving on the sea. Kaede Sato returned to the cargo ship under the cheers of the many guards and sailors on the cargo ship.
Although the cargo ship was still far away from the patrol ship at that time, the sailors on the ship were still able to see Kaede Sato's god-like feat on the patrol ship through high-power binoculars. This made everyone on the cargo ship shocked and ashamed at the same time.
"Sir is really brave. I have already prepared food and wine for you to celebrate."
Not long after Kaede Sato returned to the cargo ship, the captain of the Imperial Dragon Sea Capital came down to Kaede Sato surrounded by some of his direct subordinates. He respectfully said to Kaede Sato with an obvious flattering expression on his face.
