Chapter 1586: Chapter 1586: The Frantic Pirates
On Jade Island, a group of villagers stood on the hilltop, amazed at the scene unfolding at the dock.
Warships bearing black flags with images of whales, sharks, and azure dragons were swiftly converging here.
The Giant Whale Sect regained their senses and finally realized sothing unusual had happened on Jade Island. The supply ships they sent out had not returned on schedule.
They first dispatched experts from their sect to investigate, but these experts also went out and did not return.
The second group of experts was sent out and finally managed to uncover the truth.
Soone had set up an extraordinary formation on this island.
Anyone who dared to enter was t with deadly lightning from all directions, ensuring certain death.
The Giant Whale Sect had a vague feeling that perhaps so mystical opportunity had appeared on this island.
Their sect’s experts had suffered many casualties, and they had no choice but to contact the Sea Shark Sect, Blood Jiao Sect, and Kun Feather Sect to co together.
They did not inform the Carefree Sect because this sect specialized in the female slave trade at sea.
Among the five major pirate groups, the Carefree Sect was the most despised.
Over a hundred warships docked one by one at the port of Jade Island. Hulking n disembarked and pulled the ships into the shallows with ropes.
On the island, Lin Juan’er anxiously grabbed her father’s arm.
Just yesterday, a handful of experts ca to break the formation, but now they’ve attracted all the pirates.
The pirates on these ships numbered over ten thousand.
The villagers were a little frightened, worried that the island’s formation couldn’t withstand so many pirates.
The clan leader shouted loudly, “Everyone, don’t be afraid. Pick up our farming tools. If the formation breaks, we’ll fight the pirates to the end. This is our fate, and we can’t bla anyone else.”
These days, they had finally been living normal lives, even better than when they were farming in the village.
As long as they worked each day, there was rice and at to eat.
In just a few days, Lin Juan’er had gained a little weight, and her skin was much smoother than before.
Hearing the order, the villagers quickly returned and grabbed hoes, shovels, and axes.
They kept a close watch on the pirates gathering in front of the formation.
There were old n with immortal bearing and daoist bones and burly n in sharkskin, all with sowhat threatening looks.
Hong Dahai, the leader of the Sea Shark Sect, looked around and shouted to Sunx Jianqing, the leader of the Giant Whale Sect, “The island is calm and peaceful. Where is this supposed formation? Your Giant Whale Sect has put in so much effort; you couldn’t be playing us, could you?”
The appearance of the leader of the Giant Whale Sect had nothing in common with that of a pirate boss.
He was a white-haired, slender old man with an immortal bearing and daoist bones. At first glance, you might mistake him for a cultivator from so sect.
Sunx Jianqing said, “Over ten of our sect’s experts have already perished here. How could I joke with you? Sothing must have happened on this island that caused soone to set down a restriction here.”
“It’s simple. We just need to find a way to grab a slave from the island and question them thoroughly.”
The leader of the Blood Jiao Sect, Tan Zhenbiao, was a stern middle-aged man.
His muscular body was full of explosive power, with his flesh entangled with blood vessels, looking like a humanoid fighting machine.
His eyes were fixed on the villagers on the hillside thousands of ters away.
“Makes sense!”
Sunx Jianqing nodded and gave an order to his n.
Soon, soone began beating a giant whale-skin drum, thump, thump, thump, and another raised a conch, shouting loudly, “Listen up, people on the opposite side. Our army is at your doorstep; you can’t escape. If you know what’s good for you, co out and surrender imdiately. If not, when we storm in, we’ll cut you to pieces and kill every last one of you.”
The villagers were filled with terror, exchanging nervous glances.
The clan leader yelled, “Everyone, stay calm. Don’t listen to their nonsense. They can’t break in.”
A young villager shouted back at the beach, “Shaless pirates, if you have guts, then co in and kill us. We’re not afraid of you.”
Hong Dahai cursed, “Hey, damn it. These country bumpkins are full of attitude now. Just wait until I charge in; I’ll skin them alive.”
A young man standing aside sneered, “This formation can block the ground, but can it also block the sky?”
He had a white-headed eagle perched on his arm, with sunken eyes and a hooked nose, resembling a predator bird.
Hong Dahai asked, “Chou Ying, do you have a plan?”
This young man was none other than the Sect Leader of the Kun Feather Sect, Chou Ying.
He raised his hand, and the white-headed eagle soared into the sky, flying toward the hillside where the villagers were.
The white-headed eagle spread its wings, spanning over two ters across.
As it exuded demonic qi from its body, its eyes glead, and it let out a piercing screech, startling the villagers below, who hurriedly shouted, “Look, an eagle is coming.”
“Everyone, prepare for defense!”
“Quick, surround the won and children in the center!”
“…”
Hong Dahai, Sunx Jianqing, and the leaders focused on the white-headed eagle with expressions of joy on their faces.
Hong Dahai shouted, “Right, the array can block people, but can it really block demonic beasts?”
“There are birds and beasts going in and out here, so it won’t stop them.”
So pirates laughed.
“Our leader is smart, indeed!”
Chou Ying’s subordinate flattered him.
The pirates hooted loudly, wielding swords and long spears, their eyes fixed on the white-headed eagle as it swooped toward the villagers.
Just as the eagle descended to within a dozen ters from the ground, with a loud crack, bolts of lightning rolled in the sky, and a flash of lightning, like a longsword, struck the white-headed eagle.
The white-headed eagle screeched and fell to the ground, charred all over.
The villagers were drenched in cold sweat, thinking the formation would fail against the white-headed eagle.
Who knew that even such an eagle couldn’t break through?
They excitedly cheered, and so bold villagers picked up the charred smoking carcass of the white-headed eagle, deliberately hurling insults at Chou Ying and his n, “Shaless pirates, this roasted eagle at slls great, and we accept it gladly!”
“Courting death!”
Chou Ying clenched his hands, his eyes almost spitting fire.
The pirates were stunned, uncertain about where the sky’s lightning ca from.
Such a high-level array had utterly exceeded their expectations.
Hong Dahai cursed, “Damn it, dig three feet down, lads. If we can’t go from above, we’ll go from below.”
Sunx Jianqing said, “This is all sand below, making it impossible to dig. These villagers deserve to die; even if we can’t cross, they won’t have it easy either.”
He waved the command banner in his hand, directing his brothers to adjust the angle of the warships on the sea, aiming at the hillside where the villagers were positioned.
These cannons were all powered by spirit stones, being cannons, the angle of the barrel could only be adjusted slightly, at most no more than 45 degrees.
So even if powered by spirit stones, they could only reach a range of a few kiloters, but enough to cover these villagers watching the commotion.
Long-range cannon fire lacked accuracy; they needed to blanket the area with shells.
Though it was a huge expenditure, Sunx Jianqing couldn’t afford to mind that now.
Before he set out, he had already requested reinforcents from the Sea King Sect, Sea Spirit Sect, and Pirate Sect, deliberately claiming that the island had revealed an extraordinary opportunity, hoping to use the hands of these powerful sects to take control.
In the anti, he couldn’t let these onlookers have it easy.
