Chapter 55: The Trap
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Schatt gritted his teeth and finally made a decision to send two ships to explore first.
At this moment, the other pirates were quite puzzled, because the boss’s behavior is tantamount to sending other people to danger, risking their lives!
If it’s really not an empty fortress strategy, then these two ships are equivalent to sacrifices.
Using a chess comparison, it’s like using a ‘pawn’ to lure the opponent’s ‘rook’.
The rook might get decimated, but the pawn will not survive!
Pirates aren’t soldiers, they have no military discipline. They either go together or none goes.
How does it make sense to sacrifice one party to protect the other?
However, facing the brutal and arrogant Schatt, nearly 100 pirates on the two medium-sized pirate ships had to leave the fleet and sail towards Arden Island.
‘It’s exactly as the old man said!’
Bai Luo looked into the distance, then looked at Schatt and found that he had a very uncomfortable expression.
A reckless man and a wise man. Unless the latter shows overwhelming wisdom, it would be difficult to convince the former.
If he makes a mistake, the reckless man will be furious, causing the head of the wise man to roll on the ground.
“A wise man knows how to gauge gains and losses.”
Bai Luo smiled and said, “But a reckless man knows only to take his anger on others.”
“Your Majesty!”
Bai Luo heard some noises. It was from a lot of fish, including a dolphin and a dozen sharks.
“Dolphin Moon, Captain of the Arden expedition Team, reports to His Majesty!”
This is none other than Miss Dolphin, and the sharks beside her are the fairy sharks blessed with Lilith’s miracle power.
“Um.”
“Wait for a moment, and if someone jumps into the sea…”
Bai Luo looked at the fairy sharks and said, “Don’t eat them, just bite their legs off.”
Bai Luo didn’t want to raise the fairy clan as cannibalistic monsters. He ordered them to just bite the limbs of the pirates off.
Bai Luo is naturally not showing mercy, without their legs, and so many normal sharks watching, they will certainly die.
“Lilith, you can go back.”
“Yes!”
Lilith plays an extremely important role in the plan. Her presence is necessary.
“The pirates are coming!”
On Arden Island, the Ardennes had long anticipated such a situation, and the women immediately retreated upon seeing the approaching pirate ships.
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Because of the nature of the fishing village, the pirates didn’t use fire arrows, but ordinary ones.
However, the Ardennes are extremely skilled, how could they not be prepared. They immediately hid in the forest, moving exactly a bit past the range of the arrows.
When more than 100 pirates came ashore, there was obvious hesitation on their faces.
However, this hesitation completely disappeared when they saw the female tree elves’ descendants.
“So beautiful, these women… How can these women be so beautiful?!”
“Mine, they’re mine!!”
“Hahahaha!!!!”
The moment they saw so many earth-shattering beauties, their reason completely disappeared.
Coupled with the shrieks deliberately released by them while escaping, the pirates were extremely stimulated. Their bodies turned hot as lust filled their brain, laughing and chasing them into the forest.
‘Has the old man even taken this into consideration?’
Bai Luo didn’t expect that the pirates would obediently follow their plan and enter the forest for such a reason.
The pirates on the pirate ship are far away, so naturally, they can’t see it, but the pirates that had come ashore immediately noticed the beauty of the Ardennes, especially the tree elves.
Greed and lust are the main components in the downfall of people.
Their death is deserved!
“Ahh!”
“Help!”
“This, what is this, ahh!”
Sharp arrows were fired, killing some of the pirates, and the rest were caught by the vines controlled by Lilith.
“Mindo Confundo!”
Lilith raised her finger, and an intangible miracle power instantly hypnotized all the pirates present.
The hypnosis is time-limited, and there is a limit in conjunction with the number of people and the strength of their wills.
If it’s someone like uncle Saros, a miracle child, or even miracle derivatives, the hypnosis spell would fail.
Lilith isn’t a spirit-type miracle. She is only able to touch this field by relying on her fairy magic.
Essentially, she’s still a layman.
“Is this enough, old man?”
Lilith treated Saros with great respect, and he smiled back at her.
Uncle Saros first made sure that the pirate secret code that they obtained from the pirates ten days ago is correct. After confirming that there was no problem, he said to Lilith,
“The next step is in your hand, miss Lilith.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
Lilith raised her hand, causing all the pirates that had been bewitched to stand up one after the other, a nasty smirk etched their faces. Subsequently, they slowly walked to the beach.
“Captain!”
On the other side, on the pirate ship, the pirates saw black smoke rising from the island. That’s the signal.
Not only that, many pirates held ‘tied up’ women and walked to the beach. They even shouted towards Schatt’s fleet while waving their hands.
“Hahaha!”
Schatt no longer had any worries, “There’s really no one, those stupid guys!”
This time, even the first mate couldn’t say anything.
He’s really smart, knowing when to advance and when to retreat.
If he constantly tells Schatt to be careful, and without any solid reason, his end would be miserable. Schatt’s violent temper is well-known.
Once called advice, twice called suspicion, trice called disobedience.
The rules of pirates don’t have any tolerance for the word disobedience.
The captain is absolute, and his commands are unquestionable and inviolable.
“Speed up!”
Schatt couldn’t see the women’s appearance clearly, he thought that they were just ordinary women, “Those women are my reward to you!”
“Ohhhhh!”
The morale of the pirates, which had fallen a bit, rose again because of the temptation of women. They docked their ships one after the other, then rode small boats and moved towards the island.
“Splash!!!”
Seeing most of the pirates landing on the shore, Bai Luo felt that it was time, and drove Shirley out of the sea.
Without waiting for these pirates to wake up from their sweet dreams, Bai Luo had already launched an attack.
“Neigh~~~”
The neighing of the Pegasus broke through the heavens. Coupled with a dazzling white light, countless wind blades tore through the air and landed on the ships’ masts.
There were also a large number of trebuchets on these ships.
Although their range is quite average, about 200 meters, Bai Luo wouldn’t let his guard down against large-scale war weapons.
“Boom! Crack!! Ca! Ca~~~”
“What happened?!”
Schatt was on a small boat at the moment. He looked back in surprise, his eyes widened at the sight of Pegasus, “What is that?”
“A flying horse? Why does a horse have wings and can fly in the sky?”
These pirates have never seen a Pegasus. In fact, they didn’t even have the concept of Pegasus in their brain, hence their mind was blown at the sight of Shirley.
“Miracle!”
Schatt suddenly felt his heart stop. He realized something, and his expression changed greatly.
“Swoosh! Swoosh~~~”
The appearance of Shirley in the sky became the perfect signal for the Ardennes to attack.
Countless sharp arrows rained from the forest. The pirates were less than 20 meters away from the coast at this time, and they couldn’t advance nor retreat!
“Ambush! It’s an ambush!”
“What the hell is going on? Those guys, what are they doing?!”
Hadn’t they already taken care of the enemies on the island? Why is there still an attack?
“Boom!”
Shirley swooped down, followed by a rain of lightning bolts. Schatt only heard the sound of booming thunder, followed by endless darkness.
“Captain!!!”
The moment Schatt fell into the sea, the turtles and dolphins who had been waiting there immediately captured him.
The first mate did not know the state of Schatt, but now that the captain isn’t there, he is the leader of the group.
“What’s going on here?”
A rugged man noticed that the number of Ardennes was no more than 100.
“It’s such a good opportunity to attack, but they only dispatched this number of people, and most of them are women.”
“Their numbers are few, very few!!”
The man seemed to understand something as he hurriedly shouted, “Don’t be afraid, they are bluffing, they don’t have that many people at all!”
The secret code had been leaked, and the pirates waving their hands must have been coerced!
“Go ashore! All of you go ashore!”
The rugged man shouted, “Follow me!!!”
