Chapter 585: Chapter 0585: Subdue (Request for Subscription)
With responsibilities at hand, the correct procedure becomes very important.
During Su Lu’s wanderings in the Federation, Rod’s family traveled around and explicitly boarded this passenger liner bound for Dylan Port.
This was a necessary procedure and disguise.
Otherwise, Mr. Downton’s identity would be exposed.
And after Su Lu finished his duties, he naturally reunited with them aboard the ship halfway.
To the other passengers, Su Lu was nothing more than an ordinary passerby who would quickly forget his looks afterward.
But, indeed, any pirate who wanted to rob the ship Su Lu was on was simply asking for trouble.
“You’re right …”
Su Lu nodded, looking at Rod:”The Empire will take most of the soldiers from the ports, leaving you to scrounge for resources and assemble a decent defense team before you have part of your direct forces. This will complicate your actions …”
Even if Rod is a fourth-tier master professional, he can’t be personally involved in everything, bullying people and showing off his professional rank every day.
As for Su Lu?
Doing so would be too demeaning for him.
“What are you thinking?”
Rod instinctively felt that his little brother had an idea.
“Recruit some pirates, what do you think? If they can loot on the sea, at least they know how to fight, have their own weapons and ships… of course, they might be a little hard to manage, and most of them are wanted, but for you, these are not problems.”
You could kill those who do not obey and as for the wanted ones…
At this time, Rod is more or less a governor of a small colony, not lacking any of the rights he should have, including pardoning some criminals or preparing new identities for them.
As for the management issue?
Su Lu doesn’t think Rod, who is a demon professional, would have trouble controlling a group of pirates.
In fact, his simple and brutal style is extremely suitable for a group of pirates.
“Pirates?”
Rod had a look of disgust, but he still reluctantly agreed:”Okay… I’ll have to make do. Among the pirates, are there professionals?”
“There are definitely professionals, but very few of them are really strong…”
Su Lu laughed:”Third-tier experts, fourth-tier masters… They can mix in a good position in Chris or the White Eagle, even if they control the lowest level of gangs, they can get quite a bit of income every month… In contrast, life on the sea is not only hard but also full of danger.”
The ocean in this world is not an ordinary ocean.
There are a large number of transcendent creatures, and their strength is completely beyond human estimation.
Not to mention, there’s also the extremely harsh weather.
Although it is a safe route that has already been explored, there are many accidents involving ships every year.
If it was not for the high profits supporting and attracting them, I’m afraid both merchants and pirates would completely disappear from the open sea.
“However, there are a few quite strong ones among the pirates, and the leaders are all fourth-tier professionals, and there may be hidden fifth-tier ones as well…”
Su Lu said, “Most of them are remnants from the second ‘Great Pirate Era’ and have intricate relationships with the White Eagle Federation. They have also obtained some professional information and have created several fairly complete paths and now have the ability to train professional people…”
In the age of Dawn of the Gods, any power that did not have the ability to train professionals was basically a dead end.
“According to the data I remember, among the pirate forces active in the Old Continent and Zotelan Continent’s shipping lines, only three are most famous: the Red Tiger Pirate Group, Ghost Face Pirate Group, and White Bird Pirate Group… None of them have a fifth-tier.”
Among the pirates, the only truly famous fifth-tier pirate is Captain Gabriel of the Storm, who is an islander and worships the Lady of Storm, always active between the Old and New Continents.
However, even if he has some backing and the person himself comes in person, in Su Lu’s eyes, it is no different from delivery.
“Then… let’s go.”
With Rod, Su Lu stepped into the void in one step.
When they reappeared, they arrived above a dark sea.
Looking down from the sky, you can see an old-fashioned three-masted sailing ship sailing, and a crimson pirate flag is flying high on the mast.
“It’s the Red Tiger Pirate Group! Their captain is a woman, I will trap them, and the rest will be up to you.”
Su Lu chose to hide behind the scenes to create a sense of mystery more easily.
This first batch of subordinates needed Rod to convince them personally.
“No problem.”
Rod transformed into his [Winged Demon] form, a layer of black material surged under his skin capable of blocking ordinary swords and small-caliber bullets. His black wings behind him began flapping fiercely.
“I will find a battlefield for you.”
Su Lu chuckled lightly, his figure disappeared into the void.
Rod looked at the pirate ship below and suddenly took a cold breath.
The reflection of the triple-masted sailboat moving on the sea surface became clearer and clearer on the sea surface.
All of a sudden.
It seemed to have passed through a reflective surface, and the entire ship inverted, disappearing from the sea surface, and sailed into an inexplicable space.
“Is this divine power?”
Rod sighed and entered the ‘Mirror Space’ in the same way.
This is a void without seawater. The original inverted ship has been righted and is suspended in the air.
Apart from the lookout shouting and yelling, there were few responses on the ship.
The majority of pirates were still immersed in alcohol and sleep, and they hadn’t reacted to what was happening.
“Captain, what should we do?”
The lookout and the still sober bo’sun surrounded a female pirate and came to the side of the ship.
This female pirate was wearing a black cape, a tricorn hat on her head, a short sword around her waist, and a pair of deer skin boots on her feet, tall and fit.
Looking down at the endless void, even if she was the captain of this pirate ship, she couldn’t help but show a horrified expression on her face: “Is this a Mysterious Disaster?”
There are always various kinds of disasters at sea.
In addition to traditional storms and tsunamis, there are legendary ghost ships, humongous sea beasts, or unexplained mysterious events.
Any one of those could result in the annihilation of a ship’s crew.
This was a small probability event that all old seadogs fear.
In the female pirate’s view, they were just unlucky to be involved in a mysterious disaster. Judging by the surroundings, this event is fairly mysterious and she is afraid she might not be able to solve it.
In the face of a mysterious disaster, if it cannot be completely resolved and there’s no escape, the outcome is obvious.
At this time, a demon creature that was flapping its wings and had a ferocious appearance suddenly flew onto the deck: “Red Tiger Pirate Group? Surrender… or die?”
“A demon professional?”
The facial expression of the female pirate changed: “Is this your trap?”
“Yes.”
Rod landed on the deck, preparing to use his strength to tame these pirates, perhaps also have to hang a few as examples.
But at this moment, the female pirate suddenly stepped forward, fell to one knee, and offered the short sword around her waist with both hands: “I choose to surrender!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Rod: “…”
What do you mean I haven’t made my move yet, and you’re already surrendering?
