Erwin didn't expect Sheyan to actually make a move at this moment, but his character was dauntless. With a wild roar, he raised his right hand to receive the slash! Simultaneously, he unsheathed his saber and slashed back at Sheyan. As long as he could slow down, he could call for his trusted aide to assist! Blood flashed, but Sheyan similarly didn't dodge. Instead, he raised his left hand and grabbed onto Erwin's slash. Blood seeped out from between his fingers, but Sheyan acted as though nothing had happened and slashed back!
Erwin screamed miserably, clutching his shoulder as he flew backwards. But Sheyan didn't give him a chance to breathe. Striding forward, he heavily kicked Erwin's abdomen, sending this unlucky brat flying out from the side of the ship. Dragging out a long and mournful scream, he crashed into the sea with a splash.
At this moment, Sheyan turned around, nonchalantly flicking off the fresh blood on his hand. Gazing at Venomfang Erwin's stupefied trusted aide, he asked.
"What's his position on this ship?"
Sheyan's actions were truly as silent as a virgin, yet as agile as a fleeing rabbit, leaving a deep impression on them. Under his penetrating gaze, a skinny black pirate couldn't help but retreat half a step and mumble.
"Yes … … second mate."
Sheyan asked again.
"What's your name?"
That skinny black pirate was startled as he replied.
"My name is Robben, they call me Long Legs Robben."
"Now you're the second mate. If you don't wish to become the dinner of the caribbean sharks in a few minutes, then immediately bring them to reinforce the left deck. Now! "Sheyan's voice was stern as he shouted, his eyes emitting an ominous glint!
Robben's head was dizzy from this sudden fortune. His original thoughts of avenging Erwin had long been tossed to the nine heavens. After being roared at by Sheyan, he immediately pulled out his saber and charged towards the left deck, chasing the group of spanish marines back. From afar, Ammand had witnessed this scene. Naturally, he knew that Erwin had come to snatch the credit, but he didn't expect Sheyan to be so vicious and merciless. Just a single word of disagreement and he immediately killed!
For Erwin to be able to reach the position of second mate, he was naturally one of Ammand's earliest confidants. Because of this, when the originally heavily injured Ammand was kicked into the sea, his heart convulsed in agony. Nevertheless, Sheyan's meritorious deed of turning the tide was clearly displayed before his eyes. Regardless of sentiment or reason, he couldn't do anything! Not only that, he had to reward and win over Sheyan.
Firstly, it was to show that he was fair in his rewards and punishments. Secondly, it was because in this battle, Ammand's elite subordinates had suffered heavy casualties. Crew head Cuaron was dead, chief officer Scarface Harry was in a coma due to severe head injuries, second officer Irwin was stabbed twice and kicked into the deep sea. If one were to include the few elite pirates who died trying to stop the decaying undead, Ammand's direct subordinates had been reduced by at least 60%!
Under such circumstances, if Ammand made rewards and punishments unclear, and the morale of the people was unstable, then the morale of the people would really be broken, and it would be difficult to lead the team. Furthermore, after this battle, Sheyan's reputation would definitely soar amongst the pirates. If they wanted to deal with him, perhaps Sheyan and Xiaer could join hands and turn him into a mere figurehead!
As the battle progressed, the British allied forces gradually gained the upper hand. After all, this side had a total of 4 legendary grade warships, with various mystical abilities emerging one after another. Although the Spanish Invincible fleet had sturdy ships and powerful cannons, and had strict discipline, they still couldn't resist the enemy's encroachment. They started to shrink their defences. The great merchant Fernandez saw that the situation wasn't right, and started to adopt the tactic of abandoning his ship. He retracted the majority of his elite crew onto his largest merchant ship, abandoning the heavy cargo and only bringing along the light and valuable items.
Under such circumstances, Gutas, who was intercepting Ammand, naturally didn't have the intention to continue fighting. Ammand also didn't have the heart to continue fighting. Both sides immediately clashed and leaped back at the same time, reaching a tacit understanding. When Ammand returned to the ship, Sheyan tactfully knelt down on one knee, offering up the sword he plundered with both hands, loudly and respectfully exclaiming.
"The noble son of the black sea, welcome back!"
Ammand's eyes flickered, noticing that all the surviving pirates on the Bell and Mug were staring at him with eager eyes. Especially that Robben's eyes were the most fervent. Because as long as Sheyan stood firm and obtained the captain's approval, it was equivalent to Robben's appointment as the second officer being half legitimate! Ammand witnessed this scene, he knew that the current situation was what everyone wanted, the general trend was irresistible. Sighing in his heart, he pulled out the silver rapier by his waist, pressing the rapier against Sheyan's shoulder, using a solemn tone he announced.
"You've done well! Seaman Yan from the east, from now on you are the crew head of the Bell and Mug! "
Sheyan's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak. Instead, the remaining pirates on the Bell and Mug started cheering. Most of them clearly knew that if not for Sheyan, this place would have long been conquered by the Spanish navy. There were only two outcomes for them, either being stabbed to death or being thrown into the sea to drown. Following this, Ammand could only pinch his nose and appoint Robben as the temporary second officer. At the same time, Sheyan received a notification from the nightmare imprint.
"You have received the appointment of the Bell and Mug's captain: Leader class storyline character Ammand."
"You have become the crew head of the Bell and Mug."
"Your pirate reputation has increased by 1200 points, from 'cold' 771000 points to 'friendly' 2773000."
"You have received a hidden achievement: Pirate Ringleader."
"You have received a hidden title: Pirate Ringleader." (Title equipment effect: When on board the ship, strength + 2, physique + 2, all allies within a 30 metre radius will have their attack power increased by 10%)
"You have received a hidden achievement, achievement points + 1." (Every hidden achievement will increase your achievement points)
At present, Ammand was rather exhausted and his thoughts were in a mess. After all, too many unforeseen events had transpired in such a short period of time. Thus, he naturally assumed command of the ship, while the newly appointed crew head Sheyan acted according to Ammand's orders to clean up the remaining enemies, as well as looting the merchant ships ahead of them. However, most of the remaining pirates knew of Sheyan's ruthlessness, even Irwin who had followed Ammand through life and death for 10 years had been chopped up and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. Thus, they obediently bowed their heads and listened obediently.
At this moment, Chris who had escaped to the lower deck emerged, his face brimming with smiles as he congratulated Sheyan. Instead, he saw Robben rushing over in a fluster with a cutlass in his hand, anxiously shouting.
"Crew head! That monster that crawled out from hell is blocking the cargo hold! "
Sheyan's heart stirred.
"What monster?"
Robben hurriedly replied.
"It's the decaying undead released by those damned Spanish. Half of its head was burnt off, as long as someone approaches, it will go berserk and attack! Nobody dares to approach! "
Sheyan placed his hand on the sword hilt at his waist, calmly saying.
"I'll go take a look."
In the previous battle, even though Sheyan had fought a bloody battle on the frontlines, other than the benefits he obtained from the crew head, his actual gains were limited. He only obtained 2-3 grey keys, and opened those tattered treasure chests. Most of them contained 2-3 shillings, and some were even empty. His total earnings didn't even reach a pound sterling. Currently, that crazed decaying undead undoubtedly had a high probability of dropping high level items, how could Sheyan not be excited?
Under Robben's lead, Sheyan quickly arrived at the second level of the merchant ship. After an intense battle, the entire hold of the ship was in shambles. Furthermore, the side of the merchant ship was smashed by the Bell and Mug, creating a huge hole. It was leaking, one could feel that the ship was slowly tilting, at most half an hour later it would sink. Obviously, Ammand had already considered this point. Once Sheyan was unable to deal with this powerful decaying undead in a short period of time, then it would delay the transportation of the looted goods.
Furthermore, what was the main motive of pirates risking their lives at sea? Probably other than Jack Sparrow, whose blood was brimming with romance and adventure, 90% of them were here for the bountiful profits. Once the newly appointed Crew Head Sheyan messed up this matter, then Captain Ammand would have the right to embezzle the spoils from the pirates. Furthermore, he would claim that it was due to Sheyan's mistake that he didn't plunder enough loot. Naturally, the pirates would shift their resentment onto Sheyan.
To Ammand, this was undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone. Not only could he embezzle a portion of the loot, he could also successfully weaken Sheyan's prestige. After a few more incidents like this, Ammand would then remove Sheyan from the crew head position and replace him with his own men. That would be the consensus of the masses, no one would be able to say anything wrong!
