Chapter 212: Simple Violence

Fear was as simple as it seemed.

Everyone longed to live. If they were not able to defeat their opponents or lost the hope to escape, they would be consumed by fear in a matter of minutes. Even if it were the soldiers with the firmest beliefs, they would still surrender in a fight that had no hope of winning. Soran’s strength had made them despair. In a span of a few minutes, he killed 20 to 30 people, and even their leader, Narwhal. Beneath the pirate ship was the wandering Killer Whale, and if they escaped into the sea, they would only be fed the Killer Whale.

Fear came not only from the killing but from the unknown.

These pirates did not know how strong Soran was, the number of means he had to kill them, and what his identity was. They had no idea about the existence in front of them. They only knew that when he slaughtered them, they seemed like mere ants. The other party was an existence that was used to slaughtering. This kind of person could end lives without ever batting an eyelid. Even if he wanted to, he could have killed everyone on the ship with a smile on his face, as easily as if he was dusting the dirt.

“Charge!”

“Kill them all! Narwhal is dead!”

The warship at the back was getting closer, and the fighters were hyped up after being motivated by rewards. Unfortunately, by the time they have reached, the battle was over. Soran’s emaciated figure stood at the bow of the ship. The man was fully covered in a dark red cloak. He was gently wiping the blood off his curved sword. In front of him was a large group of enemies who had dropped their weapons and were kneeling. The scene shocked the rest, and even Adele was astonished. Because it only took ten minutes since it started.

She motivated their already deflated confidence and sailed over to get closer, but the battle was already over.

“Get those guys out of the sea.”

There were still pirates begging for mercy in the sea. Soran did not let the Killer Whale end their lives. Adele began to order the others to throw the ropes down, and her eyes stared at Soran in disbelief. Soran was stronger than she imagined. The rest of the people slowly came on board the ship again. It seemed that someone’s hands and feet were rather dishonest. Since someone in front of him was standing in the way, he squatted down secretly and turned over a corpse. Then he found a money pouch and was ready to put it away into his own pocket when no one else was looking.

Soran’s face was a little gloomy as his eyes squinted slightly.

“Move!”

He suddenly humphed, which frightened the others nearby. Even Adele took two steps back.

Soran picked up a short spear and threw it directly at the furtive guy.

Pa!

Fresh blood spurted everywhere.

The guy was directly nailed onto the deck with a short spear. Because it only penetrated his abdomen, and he had yet to die.

Soran walked over with a cold expression, then took the money purse out of his pocket. He looked over at the others with killing intent and saw that they could not help but were shivering and retreating. Then he proclaimed: “All the spoils must be collected together, and then you shall be rewarded after the battle! There will be only one end to this sort of furtive act!”

Soran showed no pity. He did not listen to the guy’s plea at all and cut off his head.

Fresh blood gushed out.

The beheaded head foamed and rolled out, which made the others so scared that they retreated.

Then Soran looked down at all the people in front of him and shouted: “I don’t care who you are! I don’t care what rules you used to follow! Now that you are my subordinates, you must act according to my rules! I will not scringe on the rewards you deserve, but if anyone dares to disobey my orders, he will receive an unimaginable punishment from me!”

Soran threw the money pouch to the half Elven Vice Captain, and said in a deep voice: “Let them clean the battlefield and give them 50% of the spoils! Later, we will attack Snake island. As for who dare not fight, kill them and feed them to the fishes! ”

There seemed to be a trace of excitement in the eyes of the half Elven Vice-Captain. He nodded silently and then began to assign people to clean up the spoils.

This was the real rise of a prominent figure amongst the pirates of the South Coast!

Although he admitted Adele was strong, she did not have the ruthless, domineering and fierce manner of the present gentleman. He could even feel that this gentleman in front of him was not vying for such trivial matters. He might even become a pirate king or even surpass the three legendary pirate kings.

“Submit to me. Pledge your loyalty to me.”

Soran went to a bearded pirate who was kneeling on the deck and said in a cold voice, “Serve me, and I will reward you with what you deserve.”

Hesitation, silence, fright.

The bearded pirate kneeling in front of Soran seemed to have hesitated for a moment. Although he had surrendered and gave up resisting, he had not thought of joining the enemy so soon.

Pirates had their own rules too.

They were pointing swords against each other before this, and now, defect to be his enemy’s subordinate?

He was obviously hesitant.

Unfortunately, Soran was not interested in waiting for him to finish contemplating. A cold glint of a sword flashed crossed, his head fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood gushed out onto the deck. He did not even look at the body. Then, he proceeded to the second man and said in a deep voice: “Submit to me and pledge your loyalty to me.”

He was too lazy to say anything else.

That guy seemed to have been scared out of his wits. A bloody head fell to the ground and a lot of blood was sprayed onto him.

Even he couldn’t react in time.

Plop!

At this moment, Soran’s patience was limited. His hand flickered with a sword glint, and the second head was on the ground.

A headless corpse fell onto the deck. The gory smell was getting thicker.

“Submit to me!”

Soran’s spoke less and less. The expression on his face grew colder and colder as if he were a terrifying Demon God, who might even kill all the people on board the ship at any time.

“I!… I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you, sir!….”

At last, the third pirate grew smarter. He almost stuttered out and had cold sweat all over. It only took about ten seconds for the whole scene. The first was beheaded because of hesitation. The second was beheaded because of a tad beat slow response. Now, he would not dare to even think at all. He had no hesitation in pledging his loyalty. He could even be sure that if he answered a few seconds slower, the other party would have cut off his head instantly.

“Very well.”

A smile finally appeared on Soran’s lips. He went directly to the fourth person.

It would be a lot easier subsequently.

Soran only gave three seconds each to answer, as long as he did not hear the answer he wanted, the sword would kill mercilessly. It only took him three minutes to turn all the prisoners into his own men, and the rest that became corpses were thrown into the sea. These people likely did not possess much loyalty at all, but Soran did not care too much. The reason being was, he did not need the loyalty of these people now. As long as they knew what fear and respect were.

“Hand over the original men to the Vice-Captain, and you will lead these guys.”

Soran glanced at Adele in front of him, the eyes of the other party were slightly brighter, which even seemed to be a little fanatical. There seemed to contain an inexplicable emotion in her eyes. This group of surrendering pirates were more powerful and must be subdued by Adele herself. Soran did not intend to waste too much time on the pirates. He only needed to let the pirates know that the one standing behind Adele was him, and just thinking of his existence should frighten them. That would be sufficient.

This was the simplest and the most effective management method in a short time!

“Give them weapons!”

Soran glanced at the others slightly and said in a deep voice, “The other half of the spoils are also awarded to them. Let’s go to take over the Snake Island directly.”

With that, he went in front of the half Elven first mate and looked at him and said, “What’s your name?”

The half Elven first mate was a little excited, with fear and fanaticism, and said: “Sir!… My name is Casa!… ”

“Very good.” Soran slightly nodded and said: “Casa. From henceforth, this ship is under your command.”

“Head to the Snake Island!”

The pirates on the ship flustered up, and the spoils collected were directly distributed. Soran did not give them much time to think about it. Adele turned over the Narwhal’s body, and then took the Tungsten Steel Armor and other things from him. With a respectful expression, she handed them to Soran and said, “Sir. These were gotten from Narwhal’s body. Some of which are very useful.”

Soran took a glance.

The things on Narwhal were not bad. But the most valuable one was still the Tungsten Steel Armor. This half-body armor could almost be exchanged for a manor, but what a pity Soran could not wear any armor. In order to maintain their agility, a rogue could only wear a leather armor at most. Wearing this sort of Tungsten Steel Armor would only affect his fighting and casting abilities. Ever since acquiring the Stoneskin, he did not even bother wearing leather armor anymore. He took a look at Adele in front of him, reached for the multi-dimensional bag, and then said in a deep voice: “You will wear this armor. Account for all the items. See if there is any cargo in the cabin!”

“Yes.” Adele bowed and nodded.

This series of thunder meant not only shocked the pirates but also made the original subordinates and Adele gradually understand what were the meanings of awe and obedience.

Soran took a look at the others and then landed on the huge Killer Whale with a slight leap.

He reached out and stroked the giant creature, then poured a bottle of healing potion into its mouth. The sea creature seemed to have some intelligence. It had just been hit by a Crossbow Javelin in battle earlier, which meant it needed to be treated. Soran however, did not want to see it bleed and die like this. Maybe he might even have a use for it in the future.

Soran was still tight on time.

His plan was to help Adele rise in the South Coast within seven days. So, he had to pick up his pace.

The next target was Snake Island!
