Chapter 354: Proof of Allegiance

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After instructing a team of Horned Bee Beasts to fly out and understanding the forces of the pirates, Yang Ling ordered the entire army to attack without hesitation.

He had to obtain the support of the townspeople if he wanted to gain control over Jaboli Town and build a city here. Originally, he had been contemplating on how best to win the support of the townspeople. He did not expect this group of pirates to send him such a great present the moment he reached Jaboli.

The people who were making a living in Jaboli were either poor vagrants or merchants and wandering troops risking their lives. As long as he could provide them with strong protection and help them fight off the attacks of pirates and Magical Beasts, they would definitely welcome his army in setting up an outpost in Jaboli, as well as build a city here.

“Kill them, kill all of the men and pillage their treasures. Snatch over all of the women, go!”

“Hehehe, a hundred Purple Crystal Coins for every head, kill them all!”

...

Looking at his subordinates in a frenzy, the bearded Benguela broke into laughter. After getting the news that most of the troops and hunters had formed teams and headed into the Amazon Forest to hunt, he had seized the opportunity to move out, leading over eight hundred pirates in launching a surprise attack on Jaboli Town. Indeed, the normally heavily defended Jaboli was like a defenseless virgin, being invaded by them within the blink of an eye.

Mountains of crystal ores, colorful Magical Beast Essence Crystals, sparkling crystal coins, as well as those alluring women...

After penetrating the normally heavily defended Jaboli Town, the pirates had wildly looted the area, obtaining generous spoils of war.

“Great leader, it’s almost time, let’s retreat. If we do not retreat now, it would be troublesome if the main forces of the town heard about the news and rushed back!” Looking at the blood-soaked streets, looking at the buffoonery of the pirates and the generous spoils of war, a Dogman wearing a long robe had a grim expression, coaxing the bearded Benguela to seize the time to pull back.

The Dogman was wearing a long robe and had a goatee, his shifty eyes looking around. He was holding a mottled magical staff, nervously standing behind the bearded Benguela. He seemed like a Spellcaster, but also a scheming tactician.

“Haha, to think that Gurt and the rest dream of heading deep into the Amazon Forest to hunt a team of Violent Earth Bears, they’re basically asking for death!” The bearded Benguela cackled loudly. He turned to look at the tactician behind him, pausing before he said arrogantly, “This time, they sent out five hundred brave warriors at one time. It would already be considered lucky for them if a hundred could come back alive, what are you afraid of?”

Hunt Violent Earth Bears?

Hearing the leader say this and seeing how fearless he was, the Dogman reached an epiphany, then followed the leader in laughing. Jaboli Town was normally very heavily defended, and they have failed every time they attacked in the past. To think that they were going to loot themselves a windfall this time, even after all the past failures.

“Tsk tsk, one hundred Purple Crystal Coins per head, I wonder if I can get a little more if I chop off hundreds of them at once!” Just as a few of the pirate leaders were laughing arrogantly, Yang Ling spoke as he suddenly appeared. He had teleported here in an instant from his ship using the Wind Evasion Technique.

“You... Who are you?” Seeing Yang Ling appear out of thin air, the bearded Benguela turned pale in shock, instinctively feeling an unprecedented sense of threat. He quickly drew his sharp sword.

“Hehe, I’m here to chop off heads for money!” After letting out a cold laugh, Yang Ling summoned his Magical Beast Army. The first creature to appear was a single wobbling Evil Eye.

“Haha, a Summoner, a Summoner who uses an Evil Eye as his Magical Beast?”

“Hehe, I thought that he was someone powerful. To think that he is just a lunatic with no fear of death!”

...

The pirates had jumped when Yang Ling appeared out of thin air, thinking that a powerful fighter had appeared. However, seeing that Yang Ling had only summoned a silly-looking Evil Eye, as well as sensing that he did not seem to have any Magical Energy or ripples of Battle Energy in his body, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Evil Eyes were Magical Beasts that were weaker than trash. A Summoner who used Evil Eyes as their battle pets were obviously also weaker than trash!

Seeing the pirates guffaw after heaving a sigh of relief, Yang Ling let out a mysterious smile, then continued summoning his Magical Beast Army. One, two, three... Soon, a large horde of Evil Eyes had appeared beside him.

“This... What’s going on?”

“Illusion, this must be an illusion!”

...

Seeing the large group of Evil Eyes quickly get into a formation under the command of the Evil Eye Tyrant, the pirates became dumbfounded, their eyeballs nearly falling out in shock.

If the sudden appearance of the large group of Evil Eyes had left them dumbfounded; Then, the large horde of Horned Bee Beasts, spiders and Twin-legged Flying Dragons that appeared next was definitely a test on how strong their hearts were.

Magical Beast Army?

Could this... Was this the legendary leader of the Magical Beast Territory said to have defeated a hundred Golden Giant Dragons on his own?

Looking at the Chimeras roaring loudly, seeing the large group of Twin-legged Flying Dragons hovering low in the air, the bearded Benguela’s legs became limp, remembering the leader of the Magical Beast Territory said to be even more violent than pirates.

News of the One-eyed Dragon nearly having his forces exterminated during his surprise attack on the Wissen Castle had already caused an uproar amongst the pirates. That was why no pirate was willing to cause trouble at the Magical Beast Territory even though they had heard that the Magical Beast Territory was immensely wealthy!

If even the mighty One-eyed Dragon was no match for the Magical Beast Territory, how could an ordinary pirate hope to beat it? They might not even be a match for Yang Ling even if they sent a few thousand men, much less a few hundred of them!

The pirates had already not dared to offend the Magical Beast Territory, but they became even more fearful after news of Yang Ling defeating over a hundred Golden Giant Dragons alone hit the seas, afraid that the demon king that was Yang Ling would come eradicate them someday.

“Retreat, retreat quickly!”

Looking at the many Magical Beasts raring to go, the bearded Benguela did not even care to take his spoils of war, turning around to run. Unfortunately, he was too late, no matter how fast he ran!

Roar...

After letting out a roar, the Magical Beast Army spread out like the tide with Yang Ling’s command, manically attacking the cruel, bloodthirsty pirates.

“Ah... Save me!”

“Michael, save me, Michael...”

...

Under the sharp attacks of the Magical Beast Army, the once arrogant pirates were defeated in an instant, all of their souls leaving their bodies as they fled for their lives.

Magical Beasts, there were Magical Beasts everywhere, large hordes of Magical Beasts...

A group of Horned Bee Beasts or spiders was already enough to give the pirates a run for their money, much less an entire horde of countless Magical Beasts!

While the pirates might have a glimmer of hope in retaliating if there were only low-level Magical Beasts like Evil Eyes or Horned Bee Beasts, who had the ability to defend when faced with countless numbers of Chimeras, Twin-legged Flying Dragons and Dark Dragons?

The pirates ran for their lives, not thinking about anything else, but the faster they ran, the sooner they died. Faced with the speedy flying Magical Beasts such as the Horned Bee Beasts, self-destructing bats and Twin-legged Flying Dragons, it would not help them no matter how fast they ran.

“Tsk tsk, not bad, but it would become even better if you evolve to become a Level Surpassing Magical Beast!” Yang Ling nodded as he stroked the little head of the Thousand-faced Mink.

The Magical Beast Army had already had massive numbers, but that number was multiplied several times with the Group Mirror Magic of the Thousand-faced Mink. The Magical Beasts scared the souls out of the pirates, illusion or not.

Currently, the Thousand-faced Mink whose abilities were at the peak of level nine could conjure hundreds of high-level Magical Beasts such as the Twin-legged Flying Dragons, or over two thousand low-level Magical Beasts like the Evil Eye. The illusory bodies possessed a portion of the vitality, offensive and defensive capabilities that the main body had.

However, it could also increase the number of illusory bodies conjured further at the cost of sacrificing the abilities of the illusory bodies. While it was extremely risky to use this against major factions like the Church, it was extremely suitable when it comes to scaring the souls out of the arrogant pirates!

Chitter...

Seeing the Thousand-faced Mink proudly shaking its butt after being praised by Yang Ling, the purple rat Little Ice that was perched on Yang Ling’s left shoulder cried with unjust, then pounced forward. It turned a few pirates into ice statues with a breath of cold air, then cast a concentrated rain of icicles, turning a few of the pirates into porcupines.

“Not bad, not bad, there’s improvement!” Seeing the purple rat Little Ice running that toward him, climbing onto his left shoulder and chittering toward the Thousand-faced Mink, Yang Ling shook his head and laughed.

If the little imp Annie and the old pervert Corpse Wizard King were considered the best partners; Then the purple rat Little Ice and the Thousand-faced Mink were a pair of natural enemies, having to compete in every little thing. They compared to see who could train faster, run faster, and even who could drink the most wine, usually bringing entertainment to the group.

“Quick, charge out!” After charging out of Jaboli Town with the protection of his personal guards, looking at the vast ocean not far away, the bearded Benguela became excited, seeing the hope of survival in this grim situation.

He could pillage more if he ran out of treasures, recruit more men if he lost them, or ask the One-eyed Dragon for help. However, if he were to be caught by Yang Ling and his Magical Beast Army, he would have lost everything!

The bearded pirate heaved a sigh of relief. However, he saw three massive ships to his surprise as he turned the bend around a small hill and was prepared to ride on the large sea turtle to sea. He saw a large group of pumped up soldiers and the Pear Blossom Catapults that made his scalp turn numb.

We’ve been surrounded?

Looking at the bloodthirsty soldiers, seeing the Magical Beasts behind him hot in pursuit, the bearded pirate felt bitter. This time, he had finally found an opportunity after receiving a tip off from his mole, and had originally thought that he could obtain a windfall. He did not expect to encounter the army of the Magical Beast Territory and have his own forces exterminated, losing even his life!

“Brothers, attack!”

After understanding that there was no way out, the bearded pirate let out a loud howl, prepared to charge forward. He was going to bring a few of the soldiers down with him even if he died. Unexpectedly, he had just taken a step forward when a sharp dagger suddenly pierced into his back.

“You...”

Turning back to see the ferocious tactician, the bearded pirate seethed with rage, instantly understanding his intentions. In order to survive, the person that had just been pals with him had turned him into a present he intended to give Yang Ling as an act of surrender!
