Chapter 198
Misty sea.

Like a terrifying ghost ship from hell, the pitch-black plank covered with algae and shells, with a strong smell of decay, quickly approached and rubbed against the side of the pirate ship.

The ship boards collided, making a toothache loud noise.

The wooden boards and hook locks on the "Ocean Disaster" were quickly put on the opposite side when the pirates were shaken violently and couldn't stand up.

When Captain Hogg landed, he stepped on the crazily shaking deck, rushed into the chaotic group of pirates, and slashed and killed.

Blood flowed on the deck.

His swordsmanship is extremely good, and the weapon in his hand is like a poisonous snake, which is nailed to the throat of every pirate with precision and swiftness.

closely followed.

It's those zombie sailors who fight on board with planks and hook locks.

The faces of these swollen undead soaked in water were full of ferocious smiles full of malice towards the living.

At the front is a zombie sailor with big arms and round waist like a little giant. It is Captain Hogg's most loyal first mate, and it is like this during life and after death.

"Skin off them, take out their guts, and use blood to please our Plague of the Seas!"

The first officer roared with a hoarse voice.

The zombie sailors followed closely, making strange whining noises.

Under the terrified eyes of the pirates, they boarded the deck one after another, and a brave pirate chopped off the head of a zombie sailor with a single sword.

But it didn't seem to feel anything. It cut the opponent's throat with a backhand, and the blood spattered covered its headless body.

This scene completely destroyed the pirates' desire to resist.

Despair quickly enveloped every pirate's heart.

The face of the pirate captain was pale. He was a spellcaster with extraordinary power. He had the honor to learn ancient witchcraft from the witch priest in the tribe.

But it is impossible for him to fight against so many undead!

"Whether it's the holy fire, the crocodile god, the harpy god, or Poseidon. Please, punish this terrifying evil quickly."

"Shut up, you blasphemous idiot!"

"The holy fire is supreme, supreme, burn all these ghosts who deserve to go to hell."

The pirates were in a mess, and many of them jumped into the sea in a panic. This place is very close to the land, and they may not necessarily die if they jump.

"There's no way we can kill these bastards!" one pirate yelled in despair.

Actually, it is possible.

Captain Hogg grinned, revealing a big gold tooth. Is there anything in this world that can't be killed?

No matter how terrifying and weird, there will be a way to crack it.

The crew of the Ghost Ship, being accursed creatures, are actually attached to the Plague of the Seas.

Once the cursed item "Ocean Calamity" is destroyed, all the undead will be freed; in addition, if the magic power of the ghost ship itself is exhausted, the crew will also lose the ability of infinite resurrection and fall into a deep sleep state.

And it is actually very simple to replenish the lost magic power of this ghost ship-by offering sacrifices with blood and fear, the ghost ship can not only restore the magic power, but also shed decay and become stronger and stronger.

Seeing that the pirates had been defeated, Captain Hogg took long strides to the bow of the pirate ship, which was said to be a ram made of a narwhal's horn.

The narwhal in this world is not the same as Lothar's previous life.

It is a ferocious sea monster.

Many carcasses of sea beasts floating on the sea surface and gradually decomposing under the scorching sun are often their masterpieces.

"Oh, poor little fellow, you're relieved."

Captain Hogg caressed the pitted and scarred ram with a loving face, as if he was comforting a poor soul who had gone through vicissitudes and could not get rid of it.

"In the future, you will follow the great Captain Hogg to sweep the entire ocean."

"Of course, Paul will definitely not like you appearing on my ship, but I promise, before I can call out Paul, I will definitely dismantle you in advance."

"Paul" is Captain Hoag's affectionate name for his beloved pet, a Kraken, a giant octopus.

At least half of Hogg's reputation as a disaster of the ocean must be attributed to this giant sea beast that is also undead.

Lothar's first breakfast in Port Ella was very satisfying to him.

The main meal is a kind of hand-picked rice passed down from Tianzhu in the East during the rule of the Abbasid Dynasty.

There are all kinds of spices, fruits, vegetables, and the indispensable lamb meat in it. It is simply fried with butter and steamed in a steamer.

The long-grain rice grown in Egypt was soaked in the mutton stew, which made Lothar, who had been used to eating pasta since crossing, re-experience the happiness of being able to eat rice.

Hans was sitting opposite Lothar, holding a piece of toast with parsley in his hand, dipping it into the mutton soup on the dinner plate and sipping it.

The two were exchanging information on the current situation in Port Ella.

"The one who came to see me last night, who can speak fluent Gaul, is the owner of the largest shipyard in Port Ayla. He has monopolized almost all the shipbuilding industry in Port Ayla."

"By the way, he also operates the slave trade in North Africa, selling fabrics, wine and wheat by sea in exchange for gems, gold, and castrated, docile and loyal black slaves."

Lothar swallowed a mouthful of pilaf, nodded and said, "Well, this man can be kept temporarily, as long as he pays taxes—where's the bearded man who came with him?"

Hans said: "I was just about to tell you that that guy is the biggest gang leader in Port Ella. He monopolizes almost all the money lending industry inside and outside the city, and his family has countless estates and manors."

"usury?"

Lothar asked succinctly.

"of course."

Hans frowned and said, "I can't afford it. The land has been occupied, and countless families have been sold into slavery. He has a bad reputation in Port Ella, and many civilians and serfs hate him."

Lothar nodded slightly: "Not bad."

"Let's use him as a knife and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys."

Hans hesitated and said: "These people have a lot of influence in Port Ella, and they have indeed suffered a lot from Zayn Aladdin, so there is a high probability that they really belong to them."

"The one who runs the shipyard in the front has also mastered a shipping route, which is quite useful. But the one in the back"

Lothar said casually: "I hate loan lenders, and, didn't you also say that they don't even have the guts to resist Zayn Aladdin, so dare to resist me?"

Hans nodded and said, "In this case, I will proceed."

"Well, just follow our routine in Hebron, ransack the house, collect evidence, have a public trial, buy people's hearts, divide the land, and free the serfs."

In a few words, the life and death of a local wealthy family was decided.

Since there were no outsiders, Lothar spoke very blatantly, such as raiding the house before collecting evidence.

At this time, a hussar strode into the house and reported: "My lord, there is a broken galley floating towards the shore."

Lothar picked up the handkerchief and wiped the stains on his hands: "Is there anything special about that ship?"

"A double-headed eagle banner was hoisted on the top of the mast—it's like your coat of arms, but there doesn't seem to be anyone on board."

This is the signal agreed upon by Lothar and Hogg!
Losa was a little excited and said: "I didn't expect to have results so soon. This is our ship. Send someone to guide the ship to the shore, but don't board the ship."

Lothar soon spotted Hogg on the galley in the harbor.

Hogg rubbed his hands, with a flattering smile on his face:

"My lord, this ship can be used as a training ship for your coastal defense fleet. The harpoon on the 'Ocean's Disaster' caused a lot of damage to it, which means that once it receives too severe impact, even There is a risk of disintegration."

Not to mention the structure of this type of offshore galley, it is on par with those ocean-going giants that could withstand all kinds of bombardment in the age of great navigation; even the Calais galley that is about to be born is too many times stronger than it.

The cost of making such a ship is not that high.

"But my lord, the spoils I want to present to you are not this ship, but the treasures on this ship—they probably just robbed a caravan and haven't had time to hide the treasure."

There was a smile on Lothar's face: "Don't worry, I remember the promise I made to you at the beginning. Among these treasures, I will set aside a part to upgrade you."

Hogg smiled shyly, "My lord, I didn't mean that."

Lothar smiled and punched him on the shoulder: "Come on, you didn't mean to make this trip?"
