The Villain Saint is my secondary account

If anything were to happen to Prince Aslan, the purpose of this fleet would become quite clear.

As the ship docked, a huge sampan was lowered, and a gray-blonde girl with pointed ears, wearing a purple robe, slowly stepped off, protected by a group of Aslan's guards.

The girl had a youthful face and looked even younger than Princess Femisil whom Ye Xiao knew. However, the dazzling military insignia on her chest indicated her extraordinary qualifications. An emerald pendant hung on her slightly heaving chest, clearly a symbol of an imperial legion commander.

Beside her stood a tall, middle-aged man, whose physique was not as slender as that of the usual Aslans, but rather unusually robust. Behind him followed a small group of servants dressed in black and white butler and maid outfits.

"We eagerly await the arrival of our esteemed lords, Aslan."

Upon seeing this, Torred hurriedly led his guards forward and bowed to the arrogant-looking Aslan.

The old city lord has been suffering these past few days, having to serve tea and water to the young lady of the Holy Temple and bow and scrape to the Aslans.

He genuinely hoped this incredibly unfortunate situation would pass quickly.

"Are the Boromeo family members here too?"

The seemingly leading Aslan girl did not respond to the dwarf city lord's greeting, but instead spoke directly, asking coldly.

"Yes, yes. And it was they, along with my soldiers, who ventured deep into the heart of the island, destroyed the lair of the Dark Shepherd, and rescued Your Highness."

Torred smiled and then waved his hand, "Please come with me, gentlemen. His Highness is currently resting in my residence."

Chapter Fifty-Five: By the Banana Bay

At that moment, a crow perched on the castle tower, taking in the entire scene of Aslan's visitors entering the lord's mansion.

Ye Xiao, whose vision was connected to that of the crows, was still in a village on the outskirts of the city, waiting with Big Tooth Brother for night to fall.

Ye Xiao didn't know if these Aslans would be too eager to take the prince and leave the harbor, but he couldn't rush things. He could only sit in a corner of the tavern, observing the people coming and going from under the brim of his hat.

The five people at the table were very quiet. Ye Xiao and Dekali didn't speak, and Big Tooth Brother and his two other underlings didn't dare to make a sound either.

But it is said that besides them, there should be some other pirates who set off from "Banana Bay" where this village is located, so there are probably other pirate groups among the diverse crowd in the tavern.

According to Big Tooth, Banana Bay was merely one of the landing points on the way to the pirate gathering. In fact, apart from the organizers of each gathering, the other invited pirates were completely unaware of the actual location of the meeting.

For secrecy, the locations marked on the invitations are not all the same. Pirates from different teams will gather at different locations, and "guides" sent by the organizers will lead them to the actual venue at designated times.

It sounds like waiting for a teacher to take a class on a spring outing.

Ye Xiao wondered if the pirates would really line up obediently.

"Oh my, gentlemen, where did you all come from, you're all unfamiliar faces?"

Just as I was pondering this, a voice came from beside my ear.

Ye Xiao slightly turned his gaze toward the source of the sound. A short, thin goblin wearing a leather coat led several orcs and trolls with unfriendly expressions and curved swords at their waists as they walked straight toward them.

It's not hard to tell that this was probably a group of pirates as well.

"What? I don't think I've seen you before?"

The short, thin goblin's voice was rougher than his size. He walked over and unceremoniously pulled a chair over from the side and sat down next to Decari. Several of his underlings also came over and formed a circle around Ye Xiao and the others sitting at the table.

Ye Xiao noticed that Decali showed a hint of impatience. Unlike other Templars who usually had a solemn and rigid expression, this guy's thoughts were often written directly on his face.

For example, right now, Ye Xiao thought that what Dekali wanted to do most was probably to throw that goblin pirate out of the tavern.

"I'm asking you a question, are you mute?!"

Beside the short, skinny goblin, a troll with a banana tree-shaped hairstyle slammed his hand on the table with a roguish, nonchalant expression and roared.

As the saying goes, no one visits the temple without a reason; this applies to both good and bad things.

This guy must have a purpose for coming to cause trouble. Ye Xiao glanced around and noticed that another table of people not far away were staring at them.

It seems this little goblin was there to lead the charge for those guys.

"What do you mean? Newcomers aren't welcome at the rally?"

Big Tooth Brother was a seasoned veteran who had weathered many storms. Even when provoked, he remained calm and composed. Moreover, he knew the fighting prowess of the two protectors on his left and right, which gave him even more confidence.

"Not at all, we wouldn't dare represent the assembly."

Upon hearing this, the goblin chuckled, "But the number of new pirate crews qualified to be invited to the gathering each year is very limited. Even if you don't know them, you've probably heard of them."

"But you don't look like Edward or Captain Jack Sparrow. Where did you come from?"

"Where did you come from?!"

The troll roared again.

The sound boomed through the tavern, making Ye Xiao's ears tremble.

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned to look at the troll. "Dude, are you crazy? Can you keep your voice down?"

"Hahahaha,"

Just then, a loud laugh came from the opposite table.

This time, a human captain wearing a tricorn hat led a dozen or so underlings through the crowd, surrounding the table of people like a wall.

"Everyone has misunderstood. Look carefully, this is not a newcomer at all. This is the famous Mr. Ravenham, the former second-in-command of our Pirate King."

"Oh my, could it be Mr. Raven, the great pirate who once dominated the waters of Pasif?"

The short goblin, acting like a straight man, stared at Big Tooth, as if only belatedly realizing something, and then gave a look of sudden realization, "Oh my god, by the Beast God, it really is Ravenheim! I didn't even recognize him as my idol, hahaha!"

His laughter spread like a contagious disease, creating a sea of ​​joy in the hall, with the loudest laugh coming from the troll.

Ye Xiao glanced at Big Tooth Brother, or rather Ravenheim, with some surprise. He thought the guy was just bragging, but it turned out to be true.

However, among these pirates, this title seemed more like a source of amusement than reverence.

"Is there a problem?"

"Big Tooth Brother said in a low voice."

Insults or provocations seem to be commonplace for Big Tooth Brother these days. Even when someone jokes about his name, there's no anger in his voice, and he doesn't even flinch.

“What could possibly be wrong, Mr. Raven?”

Surrounded by his underlings, the human captain walked up to Big Tooth and patted him on the shoulder. "Isn't it normal for us juniors to come and pay our respects to our seniors?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Skal, everyone calls me Silverblade. This goblin is Skilled Gigg, and this one over here is..."

Skar pointed to the troll with the booming voice, who immediately raised his hands and roared his name, "Thunder! Roar! Roar!!!"

The strong smell of alcohol, accompanied by sound waves that seemed almost tangible, assaulted the senses, causing a painful ache in the eardrums.

Ye Xiao picked at his ear with his little finger, trying his best to suppress the urge to hit someone.

"Ravenheim".

Big Tooth simply introduced himself and then fell silent.

"Don't be so cold, my dear senior."

Skarr plopped down on the table in front of Big Tooth, letting out a boisterous laugh. "You bunch of clueless folks... oh, I mean, you wisely chose your subordinates, aren't you going to introduce them to us?"

Big Tooth glanced silently at Ye Xiao, who remained silent, then looked back at Skar and sighed softly.

"I suggest you don't ask."

"what?"

Skar raised an eyebrow, while on the other side, the loud-voiced troll grabbed Ye Xiao's shoulder and brought his foul-smelling mouth close to Ye Xiao's ear, spitting out a few drops of saliva.

"I'm asking you a question!!?? What's your name?!...Aaaaaaah!!!"

The roar in the first half of the sentence turned into a scream in the second half. The nearly three-meter-tall troll smashed through the wall like a ball and flew out of the tavern.

The night wind blew into the hall through the hole. Ye Xiao wiped the troll's drool off the brim of his hat with a handkerchief, gently placed it on the edge of the table, and slowly raised his head.

Beneath his disheveled bangs, a murderous gaze, seemingly tangible, appeared, instantly freezing the smiles on the faces of the dozen or so pirates.

Chapter 56 Island Fortress

About a minute later, the pirates, their faces bruised and swollen, were piled up on the lobby floor, forming a small mountain.

After Ye Xiao dusted off his hands and walked back to the table, only a bewildered Skar remained of the large group of people who had been standing there.

Before Skar could even see how the guy made his move, his underlings were already in mid-air, doing Brownian motion.

What are you still doing here?

Seeing that Skar was still standing, Ye Xiao waved to him and pointed to the chair that the goblin named "Skilled Gig" had brought earlier, "Sit down."

Skar trembled violently, somewhat at a loss. But seeing Ye Xiao's icy gaze, he finally managed to sit down gently, his legs trembling, as he gripped the edge of the table.

"You're really going to sit there?"

Ye Xiao frowned and immediately kicked the poor pirate, sending him sprawling.

The latter tumbled and flew out, smashing the stool beneath him into pieces.

The people who had been laughing and joking in the lobby just moments before fell completely silent.

As Ye Xiao's gaze swept over them, whether intentionally or unintentionally, all the drinkers consciously looked away.

Even Big Tooth, who was standing to the side, broke out in a cold sweat.

So why are these people provoking that guy? Can't they just eat their dinner quietly?

"By the way, were you really the Pirate King's second-in-command before?"

After the lobby quieted down, Ye Xiao sat back down and asked in a low voice.

"I was just lucky to have met my older brother early on, but that's all in the past."

Big Tooth gave an awkward smile, seemingly unwilling to talk much about his past experiences.

Ye Xiao nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

The group ate their dinner, which was brought to them with trepidation by the servants, while enjoying the cool breeze blowing in through the hole in the wall. Finally, at dusk, they met the "ferryman" of the pirate gathering.

It was a person wrapped in a straw raincoat and wearing a round straw hat, but Ye Xiao noticed that a furry, pointed part was sticking out from under the hem of the raincoat, which seemed to be the tail of some kind of animal.

A native beastman? That's quite rare.

Ye Xiao silently took a sip of the grapefruit juice in her glass, speculating about the other party's origins.

The beastman pushed open the tavern door and was momentarily stunned when he saw the large hole in the wall and the unconscious pirates on the ground.

He was slightly surprised when he saw Ye Xiao and his group of five get up and come over. "Is it...is it just the five of you?"

"Yes, the others are unavailable."

Ye Xiao replied.

Upon hearing this, the guide glanced at the group of pirates lying unconscious on the ground, his throat bobbing as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. He nodded, turned around, and led Ye Xiao and the others out.

Under the cover of night, a medium-sized fishing boat was moored at the abandoned riverside dock planted with several banana trees.

The pirates, sent by the organizers to maintain order, stood guard by the ship, watching the ferryman lead Ye Xiao and a mere five people to the dock, their faces showing doubt. "Is this the only group of five?"

"Ah."

The extradition officer dared not utter any more words and could only give a vague reply.

The pirate guarding the ship scratched his head, but couldn't discern anything from the five men, so he could only extend his hand and say, "Alright, check the invitation."

Everyone boarded the fishing boat without any problems.

Because there were far fewer people than expected, the number of pirates gathered on the ship even exceeded the number of attendees, making the cabins seem particularly empty.

The fishing boat slowly sailed away from the dock and drifted in the near sea under the hazy moonlight.

The five people in the cabin were very quiet. The pirates, who were used to the usual noisy atmosphere, felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.

I thought I would have to put in a lot of effort to maintain order, but when no one spoke, I started to feel uncomfortable.

Hey, you over there.

Fortunately, someone suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.

Big Tooth beckoned to a pirate henchman nearby, who then approached. "What is it?"

Which pirate groups are participating in this gathering?

"This……"

The pirate henchmen and their companions looked at each other blankly. "You're asking me? I don't know either. I'm just a sentry."
