Demon Royal Family

Ivo waits patiently like a hunter. As soon as the Kuishang Navy leaves the port, he will follow. With the current size of the fleet, it is not cost-effective to go head-to-head with ten warships. Ivo has no intention of fighting head-on. The privateers have the advantage. It's concealment.

This morning, mist appeared on the sea, and the lighthouse of Twin Harbors suddenly sounded a shrill alarm. Everyone on the dock stopped what they were doing and looked towards the sea.

I saw a few ship silhouettes appearing on the sea in the distance, and in the mist, the skull and crossbones flag was looming.

"There are pirates!"

There was a commotion on the dock, but it was not a panic. There were so many ships docked at the Twin Ports that the little pirates had no courage to attack.

Sure enough, after watching the pirate ship in the distance, it turned and disappeared.

Although the pirates left, the sailors of most ships were worried. If the pirates hid nearby and waited for the ships to go to sea, their situation would be very dangerous. This is a common tactic of pirates.

On the Changfeng, Ivo looked at the pirates leaving in the distance, and his thoughts changed slightly. He vaguely felt that the pirates were observing his fleet. The six merchant ships were considered a fat sheep, and they were probably killed on the first day of entering the port. Targeted.

"Maybe this is an opportunity." Ivo narrowed his eyes.

The traces of pirates in the morning put the Twin Ports into a slightly tense atmosphere. At noon, the Kuishang Navy docked at East Island finally set sail, and ten warships left the port in a mighty manner.

Ivo kept staring over there, ready to sail at any time, and immediately asked the sailors to move. The fleet slowly opened anchor and followed the Kuishang navy.

Ten warships and six merchant ships sailed one after another keeping a distance, and soon left the sight of the lighthouse in the Twin Ports.

There are many rocks on the sea surface nearby, ships sail slowly, and the larger reefs block the view.

Not long after, the lookout on the Changfeng shouted loudly: "Captain, traces of a pirate ship were found on the port side."

Ivo turned around and looked. Behind the rocks more than a thousand meters away on the left side of the fleet, there were several pirate ships following quietly under the cover of the strait. It seemed that they were eyeing their group of "fat sheep". Ivo recognized them. The pirate flag is a small pirate with a bounty of only 20 million. It seems to be called the Viper Pirates.

Ivo smiled and said, "Sure enough, pirates are targeting us. I'm afraid there are pirate spies near the big port."

Tiehu, who served as the charge captain on the Changfeng, touched his fists and said with a ferocious smile: "Let's see who is more cruel, the pirates or us."

The sailors are eager to try. The sailors on Ivo's ship are a group of thugs, they are brave and fierce, and they are not afraid of pirates at all.

Ivo held Tiehu down and said coldly: "Don't worry about the pirates. They are not our target. Give me the order to get close to the navy in front."

In the past, the fleet kept a distance to avoid the navy's vigilance, but now that pirates are coming, it is a good opportunity to get closer to the navy.

The fleet accelerated and slowly approached the navy.

A thousand meters away, the Viper Pirates saw six merchant ships approaching the navy, and they all looked ugly.

The leader of the Viper Pirates was a skinny man. He slashed the side of the ship with his sword and said angrily: "What a bunch of cunning businessmen."

The Viper Pirates got the news on the first day that Ivo's fleet entered the Twin Ports and regarded them as prey early on. Ivo's fleet is close to the navy, and they dare not move rashly.

"Boss, are we still following them?"

"Continue to follow, they can't always be protected by the navy." The leader of the Viper Pirates said coldly, with a fierce look in his eyes.

…

The fleet commander of Kuishang Navy's main ship frowned at the approaching Ivo fleet and said dissatisfied: "These businessmen are really good at finding backers and want to use our navy to avoid pirates."

Kuishang Navy discovered the Viper Pirates early in the morning and thought that the other party did not dare to attack the navy, so they ignored the pirates.

If it were in the Frozen Sea, the Kuishang Navy would take the initiative to encircle and suppress pirates, but in the Shark Sea they would not do such unnecessary things.

Standing next to the fleet commander was a richly dressed man with a high nose, slightly sunken eye sockets, curly hair, and a layer of noble powder on his body. He did not look like a Hokuriku native. The fleet commander called him " "Viscount Benjamin" was a nobleman of the Saint-Maro Empire.

There is only one word difference between empire and kingdom, but the scope of influence is vastly different. The Saint Malo Empire is only slightly inferior to the Odin Empire, and its national power is much stronger than the four Hokuriku countries.

Viscount Benjamin looked arrogant and said: "There must be no mistakes in this escort. That prisoner is very important to the royal family."

The fleet commander nodded repeatedly, "I asked the guard to send him food only once every three days, so that he will always have no physical strength and will not make mistakes."

Viscount Benjamin made a show of humming, flicked his sleeves, pointed at the Ivo fleet, and said: "Don't let those merchants who smell like copper get close. I don't want to deal with them."

The fleet commander was confused: "But after all, they fly the flag of Kuishang Kingdom and are the kingdom's caravan. According to the code, we must provide shelter."

"Huh, let them behave themselves and don't disturb this mission." Viscount Benjamin looked impatient, but he also knew that he was not the commander, so he sat aside and said nothing.

The fleet commander secretly laughed in his heart. In other sea areas, he didn't care about the so-called codes. However, every time he encountered a caravan seeking asylum, it was an opportunity to make money. He was unwilling to let it go. The opponent said in a deep voice: "Sign up, let's make money." The group of caravans are approaching."

After the flag bearer finished hoisting the flag, Ivo's fleet slowly entered the naval formation and was sandwiched by naval warships.

The fleet commander stood on the bow of the ship, glanced at Ivo's crew, and said majestically: "Who is your captain?"

"I am the captain..." A hoarse voice sounded, and Ivo stepped out from the crowd.

The onlookers were startled by Ivo's black attire and whispered.

"This guy seems a little mysterious."

"Why are you wearing a mask? Could it be that he is a prisoner with a bounty on his head?"

"How is it possible? The bounty criminals will never dare to approach the navy."

"Maybe I wear a mask because I look ugly, hahaha."

Listening to the unabashed comments of the sailors, the fierce sailors in the fleet sneered and clenched the weapons hidden in their clothes.

The fleet commander frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you a caravan from Kuishang Kingdom?"

Gavin quickly said: "Yes, we are the kingdom's caravan."

The fleet commander nodded, without going into details, and said, "If you want to get our protection, just pay."

Gavin pretended to be surprised, "Why?"

The fleet commander said impatiently: "If you don't pay, you can't use the power of the navy to avoid pirates."

The sailors are not surprised. This is the norm for most navies. They will ruthlessly kill caravans seeking asylum. If the other party does not pay the money, they will not care about their life or death.

Ivo nodded slowly and said hoarsely: "Okay, we'll pay..."

The fleet commander waved his hand, the navy main ship and the Changfeng docked, and gestured for Ivo to board the ship.

Ivo stepped onto the navy main ship and came to the fleet commander.

Viscount Benjamin on the side covered his nose in disgust and said dissatisfied: "Letting such a pariah on board is simply polluting the air. He is also wearing a ridiculous mask. What a clown."

Ivo looked at Viscount Benjamin and asked, "Who are you?"

"Be brave, lower your head when talking to nobles!" Benjamin shouted, with a condescending tone, "I am Viscount Benjamin of the Saint-Malo Empire, you must call me Lord Viscount!"

Ivory ignored him and asked the fleet commander: "How much do you have to pay?"

Viscount Benjamin was furious when he saw this. He glared at Ivo angrily and kept calling him "untouchable".

The fleet commander said coldly: "I originally charged you five hundred thousand Benas, but because of your collision with the Viscount, you must add one million Benas!"

After hearing this, Viscount Benjamin's face improved a lot. He looked at Ivo with a look of gloating and superiority. He guessed that the expression under Ivo's mask must be very regretful and ugly.

Iwo paused, shook his head and said, "I can't afford that much money."

The fleet commander's face turned pale and he said unceremoniously: "If you can't pay, get away. Don't be shameless and follow our navy. If you want shelter, you won't pay. You captain really doesn't understand the rules!"

Ivo took two steps forward, only five meters away from the commander, and whispered: "I don't have that much money, can I use other things to pay off the debt?"

"what?"

"My family heirloom."

The fleet commander's eyes lit up and he licked his lips, "Take it out and let me see."

Ivo reached under his cloak and approached slowly, as if he wanted to take out a treasure for the commander to see. The navy on the deck stretched his neck to get a clear look at the so-called "heirloom".

Viscount Benjamin said disdainfully: "How can a low-level untouchable have any family heirloom..."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp and cold sword light stung everyone's eyes!

Ivo stepped forward, drew his sword, and slashed horizontally, all in one go. The black crow cloak swayed with the movement, and a cold arc of light flashed out from under the black cloak and passed over the fleet commander's neck.

This knife was unexpected, as fast as a phantom, and no one could react!

The fleet commander still maintained an impatient expression, and his expression was frozen at this moment. A thin blood line appeared on his neck, which quickly expanded. The blood gushes out happily and sprinkles on Viscount Benjamin's face.

The commander's head rolled down to the deck along the smooth incision. The shocking blood redness stung the nerves of all the sailors, leaving them stunned on the spot.

Ivo held the blood-stained long knife and turned around slowly, his voice hoarse like a ghost, "I got it, kill!"

The six ships sandwiched between the warships erupted into excited shouts of killing. The cruel-looking sailors swung ropes and easily arrived at the warships nearby, killing them wantonly. Originally, the navy surrounded the six ships to prevent them from letting go. They ran away easily, but created an opportunity for Ivo's subordinates to pick up the ship.

Viscount Benjamin was trembling with blood all over his face, and the blood all over his body was almost cold. The black mask that originally looked like a clown in his eyes now looked like a devil. Fear took over his heart, and he let out a heart-piercing cry. scream.

"ah--"
