The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerf - Chapter 35

As the evening crept in, the sky became shrouded in clouds, and the moonlight faded into a dim glow.

The surroundings appeared pitch-black, with the surface of the sea appearing as a dark abyss in the distance.

Ji Chen couldn’t be more delighted – it seemed like the heavens were on his side.

The cover of the dark night provided the perfect chance for a successful night raid.

The pirates on the ship grew suspicious when they saw that the members who were sent ashore had not returned. They began to suspect that something had gone wrong and sent more men to guard the ship. In the distance, they could faintly make out flickering flames on the ship, adding to their unease.

A pirate stood on the watchtower on the mast, looking down at the island.

But what he did not expect was that under the dark and calm water, dozens of Murlocs and Naga warriors were quietly approaching.

Although there were no ladders to climb, the Murlocs and Naga Warriors had their own unique boarding techniques.

They would first dive into the water, and then use their strength to swim downstream.

When they had gathered enough momentum, they would swim up in a U-shape, propelling themselves onto the deck of the pirate ship.

The Murlocs and Naga warriors sprang out of the water with the agility of sharks, like predators hunting their prey on the surface.

With their unique boarding techniques, they swam downstream to accumulate enough energy before swimming up in a U-shape to launch themselves several meters into the air and land on the bow deck.

The impact of their landing made a dull sound, alerting the nearby patrolling pirates.

The sound of cloth being torn could be heard.

“Ah!”

“Enemies!”

The screams echoed throughout the night.

The pirate ship suddenly became lively, and the lights were lit.

Pirates on the deck hastily grabbed their oil lamps and rushed towards the source of the sound. However, they were suddenly startled by the sound of the sea surging beside the ship.

Crash ~

Under the dim moonlight, the Murlocs rushed out of the water one after another, catching them off guard. For a moment, the pirates suffered heavy losses.

Ji Chen’s plan involved having a group of Murlocs and Naga warriors board the ship at the bow to draw the pirates’ attention, while the rest would ambush from the water and catch them off-guard.

Despite the lower tier of the Murlocs, their sneak attack advantage allowed them to kill one pirate with each fork.

The number of pirates was significant, with some patrolling the first deck while others were sleeping in the cabins below.

Upon hearing the commotion on the first deck, they all rushed up with their weapons.

The number of pirates was much larger than that of the Murlocs and Naga warriors combined. After they reacted, they gradually formed a suppressive force with their numerical advantage and strength that was not weaker than the Naga warriors.

At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky quietly dispersed, and the moonlight shone on the sea. The originally dim deck instantly lit up, allowing the pirates to instantly see the enemy clearly.

Without the advantage of the dark environment, the Murlocs and Naga warriors suffered even greater defeat. Outnumbered, they sustained numerous deep wounds, some visible down to the bone.

At this moment., the surface of the sea rippled once again, and a beautiful figure emerged from the water.

Alice’s silver locks cascaded down her waist and shoulders, glistening like a precious pearl under the moonlight.

Her serene eyes remained unwavering, giving her an ethereal appearance akin to that of a legendary sea supreme-rulerdess.

And as the tranquil night enveloped them, her voice carried on the wind, resonating far and wide.

Its power had also reached its maximum.

The sweet melody of Alice’s singing drifted into the ears of the pirates engaged in combat with the Murlocs and Naga warriors.

Their minds and muscles gradually relaxed, and their desire to fight weakened. They became dazed and unfocused.

However, the same music had the opposite effect on the Murlocs and Naga warriors, who suddenly gained a surge of strength.

They fiercely swung their weapons and swiftly dispatched the pirates in front of them, turning the tide of the battle in their favor.

The pirates on the deck were killed one by one, and their blood dyed the floor red.

When the singing stopped, the pirates on the deck could no longer be seen.

Hearing the screams outside, the remaining pirates cowered in fear in the cabins below, not daring to stick their heads out.

Seeing that the situation of the battle had been decided, Ji Chen took off his clothes, revealing his arms, and swam towards the pirate ship.

With the support of the territory buff, his swimming skills had been greatly improved. On the calm sea, swimming a few kilometers was not a big problem with sufficient physical strength.

The Murlocs lowered the net on the side of the ship and let him board the deck.

Observing the blood-stained corpses of the pirates lying on the deck, and the wounded Murlocs and Naga warriors, Ji Chen furrowed his brows.

However, it was not because of the gory scene before him, but due to the fact that the battle had not gone as well as he had hoped.

In simple terms, it had been an ugly and messy battle.

The Naga warriors were no longer the swift and powerful fighters they had been in the past, able to defeat their enemies with ease.

If it had not been for Alice’s assistance, the casualties might have been much higher.

The reason for this was largely due to the tier and rank of the combatants.

Although the Naga Warrior was one star higher than the pirates, its level was five levels lower.

This resulted in its actual strength being slightly weaker.

If not for the element of surprise and the morale boost it provided, the Naga warriors would have been at an even greater disadvantage in the fight.

“It seems that I have to prepare to improve the strength of the Naga Warriors. It’s not a good idea to keep them running naked like this.”

Ji Chen shook his head to clear his thoughts and made his way towards the stairs leading to the lower level of the pirate ship.

Despite the carnage on deck, he knew that there were still plenty of pirates hiding below.

If they weren’t dealt with, there was no way they could fully take over the ship.

Alice also climbed onto the deck from the sea and came to the side, asking softly.

“My Lord, do you need my help?”

Ji Chen was about to give Alice a nod of approval, but he hesitated for a moment and shook his head, signaling for her not to speak.

He had come up with a new idea.

As they approached the stairway, the end of it was shrouded in complete darkness.

He knew that the remaining pirates were hiding in the blind spots below, ready to attack at any moment.

Ji Chen decided to try a new tactic and use his words to subdue them.

“I know you’re down there, hiding in the dark and trying to fight back. But I’m telling you very clearly that these actions are meaningless.”

“If you’re smart enough, you’ll realize that I can easily kill you with the song of the Siren.”

Ji Chen’s tone was confident and certain.

A few seconds later, the voices of the pirates came from below.

“We don’t seem to have any enmity with you, why are you attacking us?”

“Hmph, you trespassed into my territory without permission. It’s already merciful of me not to kill you on the spot.”

They were speechless.

Who the hell would know that this archipelago had a lord?

If they had known that there was such a powerful lord and a terrifying creature like the Siren, they would never have come to the island.

This was great. Before they could find the merchant ship, they would have to die here.

Also, hadn’t he already started killing?

The deck was full of pirate corpses, the kind that was completely dead!

The pirates complained in their hearts.

Ji Chen heard the silence below and said calmly.

“But I am a merciful person. I can give you a chance to atone for your sins. If you choose to submit to me and work for me, then you can live. Otherwise, there will only be one outcome, death!”

He paused for a moment before adding, “Oh, no, you can also choose to work in the dark mine to atone for your sins. As for the time limit for atonement, 80 years is about it. You can only eat porridge every day.”

“Of course, I’m not a bad person after all. I’ll give you the chance to choose between the two.”

Wasn’t this even worse?

Working in the mine for 80 years, wasn’t that just working until they died of old age? Moreover, they could only eat one meal a day. This seemed even worse than death to them.

The pirates looked at him as if he was a demon.

The pirates in the dark cabin exchanged fearful glances towards the man above.

Ji Chen pondered about the situation below when suddenly a prompt sound echoed through the cabin.
