Call of the Pirates

Chapter 201
"Let go of Brother Shanying!"

Seeing the leading young man being strangled, the remaining six hunters rushed forward and tried to besiege Bai Yang, but unfortunately there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides.

Moments later, the scarred seven people were tied together, their hearts filled with fear. Pirates are synonymous with blood and death.

"Shanying, a very good name."

Bai Yang looked at the leading young man, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I have a few questions, and I'll let you go when I get the answers."

Shanying nodded with difficulty, he knew that the pirates in front of him could easily kill them, resistance would only bring death.

"Very good." Bai Yang nodded slightly: "Tell me the history of this island."

To understand a place, the most intuitive thing is history.

Shanying was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the pirate to ask such a question, after hesitating for a while, he still dragged out all the information he knew, it was not a secret at all.

About a hundred years ago, Four Seasons Island had only one country with a population of more than 300 million, but something happened. In the end, the kingdom was divided into four, and the wars continued.

Bai Yang frowned: "Was the war started 100 years ago?"

He felt that something was wrong. There was no war that lasted so long. Basically, the fate of the country could be decided in three to five years, and it was not a big place.

Shan Ying's voice was low: "I heard from my mother-in-law that almost every ten years, there will be a large-scale war, and all adult men will be recruited as soldiers to go to the place of glory at the junction of the four islands.

In the past, there were many villages in this jungle, and the warriors hunted in groups, but now there are less than ten villages left, and the number is still decreasing. "

Both his grandfather and father were conscripted as soldiers and never returned after going to the battlefield, and so were the other comrades, and they were the only young men left in the village.

Before long, they will also be forced to go to the battlefield and never return to their hometown.

"I understand."

Bai Yang nodded slightly, after getting a general understanding of the situation here, he continued to ask: "Where did you learn your arrogance?"

Shan Ying took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, but this is the only thing I can't tell you."

"Is that person important to you?"

"He saved my life!"

Shan Ying looked directly into Bai Yang's eyes, and even though his body trembled with fear, he still did not back away. It is very rare for such a behavior to appear in a commoner hunter.

Bai Yang smiled indifferently, and didn't ask any further questions. Domineering is not uncommon in the New World, and people who are slightly more powerful can basically know it. If a commoner can learn domineering, it can only be said that he is lucky and meets noble people.

He then asked a few more questions, such as how many people are there in total on the island, who is the king, etc. Unfortunately, the harvest was good. These guys are just ordinary farm hunters, and they basically don't know what to ask.

Looking up at the sky, the sun has already dropped to the sea level, and it will be completely dark in half an hour.

With a wave of his hand, the slender chopping wave cut the rope.

"Go back, by the way, remember my name, Yanlong."

Bai Yang stretched out his dragon wings from behind, and with a light wave, his body reached a height of hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, and his eyes looked towards the west coast.

The Goddess of Aurora is moored at the port, and the huge hull is very conspicuous.

"It has grown wings!"

The hunters stared at the sky dumbfounded. It was unheard of for humans to grow wings.

"Don't think so much, that's not a strong person we can understand. It's getting dark, and the jungle is very dangerous. We must return as soon as possible."

Shan Ying pulled his companion up, and shouted in a concentrated voice: "Go back and ask the village chief, he is very knowledgeable, he may have heard of Yanlong's name, even if we don't know, we can ask Brother Safeier."

Only then did the group of people come to their senses, and hurriedly followed Shan Ying, heading towards the eastern mountain peak.

On the west coast, there is the second largest town in the kingdom, named Lanka, with about 15 permanent residents.

With the arrival of the Akatsuki Pirates, the whole town is highly tense. In a town of 10,000+ people, it is impossible not to recognize Akatsuki's flag.

What reassured them was that the Akatsuki Pirates did not launch a robbery, but instead politely searched for a place to live in the tavern.

"My lord mayor, there is news from Wangcheng that the army commander is coming in person!"

The leader of the guards in the town was panting heavily. The moment he saw the ship, he rushed to the communication room to seek the support of Wangcheng.

The mayor of Lanka is a middle-aged nobleman with a big belly. He wears a lot of gold jewelry and looks like a nouveau riche. He let out a long breath when he heard the news of the army commander's arrival.

If the army commander comes, then even if something happens, the responsibility can be shifted to the army commander.

In the largest tavern in the town, all the guests left in a panic, and many of them didn't even settle their bills.

Erza frowned, not because the guests left, but because the environment in the tavern was very dirty, which made her very dissatisfied.

"Tonight we're packing here, cleaning the hall, and getting the food ready, no seafood!"

A stack of Baileys was thrown on the bar counter, and the tavern owner was overjoyed, and immediately bowed his head in response, beckoning the bartender to clean up the hall.

Not long after, the tables and chairs were cleaned, and the backstage kitchen brought out food one after another, mainly vegetables and meat.

The female warriors cheered happily. Since leaving Wan Guo, their daily diet has been mainly seafood, and they have not been supplemented with fresh vegetables and fruits on Sleeping Island. They have long wanted to change their tastes.

Bai Yang pushed the door open, and when he saw the excited crew members, he smiled dumbly. Sailing was indeed hard work, and he had considered using the garden on the fifth floor as a vegetable garden before.

Erza came up to meet her: "Is there any gain?"

"No."

Bai Yang shrugged. The information he got was too vague, and it was difficult to confirm the authenticity. It was not because he was worried that those hunters would lie to him, but because they themselves were not very clear.

"Let's rest first, it will not happen overnight if you want to get this country."

Erusa tidied up Bai Yang's skirt, and pulled him to a seat, looking more and more like a hostess.

Bai Yang didn't think about it anymore, just like what Ersha said, if you want to become the king here, you can't rely on force alone, that will only bring about the destruction of this country.

If the name is not right and the words are not right, it is difficult to get the support of the people, and the civil strife alone is enough for them to have a headache.

What's more, the Akatsuki Pirates only have a hundred people, most of them are muscular idiots, and only my king has the ability to govern. In the end, we still have to rely on the people on the island.

"Squeak~~"

After eating and drinking for nearly an hour, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a group of soldiers in uniform armor broke in.

The leader of the army looked around, and his eyes quickly fell on Bai Yang. As the only man in Xiao Pirates, he was very recognizable.

The commander of the army strode up to Bai Yang, and asked in a steady voice: "Your Excellency must be the captain of the Xiao Pirates, Mr. Yanlong?"

Bai Yang nodded, a little impatient, no one could be happy when he was interrupted while eating.

The leader of the army bowed slightly: "I am the commander of the Royal Army, Jikov Goring, His Majesty heard the news of the arrival of the Pirates, and specially prepared a grand reception dinner in the palace.

The carriage has been prepared outside, and I hope His Excellency Yanlong and his companions can go to the royal city. "

Bai Yang frowned even tighter. What does it mean to force them to go to the palace?

This king is very courageous, or he doesn't understand what the Akatsuki Pirates represent.

Bai Yang's face turned cold: "I don't have time tonight, let your king wait."

Jikov was almost choked, anger appeared on his face, and his right hand subconsciously held the long sword at his waist.

The soldiers behind him also took up their weapons nervously, as long as the army commander gave an order, they would attack.

Bai Yang narrated the facts in a very calm manner after countless opponents' anger: "If you do it, you will all die here."

Jikov's whole body was frozen in an instant, as if he had fallen into the mouth of a ferocious beast, and would be crushed and swallowed at any moment. His intuition told him that what the man in front of him said was true!
When he woke up from the phantom of death, the skirt under the armor was soaked in cold sweat.

Jikov gasped heavily, his voice extremely hoarse: "It is the duty of a subject to protect the honor of the king, Your Excellency Yanlong, after His Majesty receives you, I will challenge you to the death!"

Bai Yang was very surprised, he didn't expect this guy to be a loyal person, he thought he was a stunned young man who didn't understand the horror of pirates.

Such people are not uncommon. In the eyes of princes and nobles, pirates are basically scumbags who cannot stand on the stage.
