Lord of the Magical Beasts

The female leader Margaret was extremely surprised after knowing of Yang Ling’s identity. Originally, she had expected Yang Ling to be from a Sea Tribe. To think that he was the famous leader of the Magical Beast Territory.

“Sir, tell me… What do you need me to do?” After recovering from her shock, Margaret quickly calmed herself down, inviting Yang Ling to her secret room for negotiation.

As a leader leading over a hundred pirates, she had seen various kinds of people, and knew that Yang Ling would naturally have something to ask of her since he had voluntary exposed his true identity.

“Simple, I need the head of the One-eyed Dragon!” Looking at Margaret who winced at the name, Yang Ling calmly smiled, pausing before he continued, “Killing One-eyed Dragon is not hard, but the key is that I have to know of his tracks, as well as ensure that I can fill in the power vacuum after I kill him. Thus, I need a mole!”

Mole?

Hearing Yang Ling say this, Margaret quickly understood his intentions and started to deliberate silently.

Be it through threatening them or promising them with rewards, One-eyed Dragon had forced many pirates to submit to him, his influence massive. Coupled with his irregular movements, killing him was definitely no easy task. More importantly, it was rumored that a mysterious, powerful Sea Tribe was backing One-eyed Dragon. Even if they were to be fortunate enough to kill One-eyed Dragon, who could deal with the vengeance of the Sea Tribe?

Seeing Margaret silent in deliberation, Yang Ling naturally understood her concerns, “Miss Margaret, all you need to do is attack the pirates in the surrounding seas and establish control over the area, then help me collect information about One-eyed Dragon and the Sea Tribes. The Magical Beast Territory can provide you with a substantial amount of resources like rations and weapons. If you encounter any accidents, you can ask for help from the naval force of the Magical Beast Territory, or move your entire tribe to the Magical Beast Territory to seek refuge!”

Seeing the glint in Margaret’s eyes after he said that, Yang Ling followed up on the opportunity and continued, “The Crimson Pill of the One-eyed Dragon is lethal, but it could be completely dispelled after one consumes a few drops of Water from the Spring of Life. Furthermore, I have also built a Teleportation Formation in the underwater cave. As long as I have the time, I can rush over quickly!”

Margaret’s greatest wish was not to lead the group of pirates to pillage loot or occupy territory, but to revive the ancient Vandal Tribe. After realizing her secret, Yang Ling was confident that she would not reject his generous terms if he eliminated the worry in her head.

Indeed, seeing the bottle of Water of the Spring of Life in his hand, Margaret nodded her head with determination after deliberating for a moment.

One-eyed Dragon had a massive influence, but his reputation was terrible. It is just that many of the pirate leaders had to listen to his orders due to the terrifying effects of the lethal Crimson Pill. As long as they had the Water of the Spring of Life that could dispel all poisons, there was hope that they could secretly attack or gather pirates from all around the area, quickly developing their strength.

The Sea Tribes were strong, but the Magical Beast Territory was not weak either. The news of over a hundred Golden Giant Dragons suffering a pathetic defeat in the Magical Beast Territory had long caused an unprecedented uproar within the pirates, due to their vast nets of intelligence.

If they could obtain the protection of the Magical Beast Territory, as well as use the Magical Spell Formation to teleport to the Magical Beast Territory for refuge during the critical moment, then she did not have anything left to worry about.

More importantly, she definitely required Yang Ling’s support if she wanted to revive her tribe. Only by reviving her tribesmen within the underwater mine could she have enough tribespeople to sustain the next generation. Even though Yang Ling had not explicitly express what he meant in his last sentence, Margaret knew what he was referring to even without his elaboration.

After deciding on the general direction of the plan, Yang Ling and Margaret continued ironing out some of the details, prepared to first attack the group of pirates on the Madeira Islands. They planned to occupy their territory and recruit their men, secretly gaining control over the nearby seas one step at a time, so as to obtain information about One-eyed Dragon and the Sea Tribes from various channels.

The Madeira Islands was about two hundred nautical miles away from the Mariana Islands controlled by Margaret. It did not have a huge population, merely a hundred people, but all of them were hardened criminals who could kill without batting an eyelid.

Their leader Navia was violent, not only bloodthirsty, but also extremely lecherous. It was said that he had to have a woman every night, and was one of the few pirates that were exceptionally loyal to One-eyed Dragon. Attacking him would not only clear off the threats around the area, they might even be able to find out several useful pieces of information.

After making the necessary preparations, Margaret took advantage of the hazy moonlight and ordered her subordinates to secretly get close to the Madeira Islands. They got off their ships five nautical miles away from the island, carefully swimming toward the island like a school of fish.

“Sir, should we give them a little help?” Standing on a piece of rock, the Corpse Wizard King was raring to go, seeing Margaret and the rest quickly approaching the Madeira Islands.

He had long used Yang Ling’s method of a proxy war several times in the Dimension of Dead Souls. However, compared to the countless skeletons, zombies and Undead Knights charging into the battlefield together in the Dimension of Dead Souls, Margaret’s numbers were nothing worth mentioning about.

If this was the Dimension of Dead Souls, the few pirates by Margaret’s side might not even be enough for an Undead Emperor to floss his teeth with!

Yang Ling remained motionless as he looked at the cautious Margaret and her group, coldly saying, “Hehe, I’ve already sent them a team of Horned Eagle Knights and giant pythons as reinforcements. If they cannot even defeat a bunch of pirates that were caught off guard, then I fear that there’s no use having them around!”

In order to provide Margaret with support, he had intentionally mobilized thirty-six Horned Eagle Knights from Ashnamov’s hands and gave her three tamed giant pythons.

The trained Horned Eagle Knights were natural born aerial forces within the navy. Other than the fact that they were equipped with Pear Blossom Crossbows that had a fast fire rate and terrifying offensive capability, each of the Horned eagles were paired with an Evil Eye. The Evil Eyes were responsible for long range attacks, while the Frogmen were responsible for spraying arrows at moderate range. The Horned Eagles were responsible for close combat and defense.

Well trained Horned Eagle Knights that worked well with each other were basically a nightmare for the targets on the ground. Unfortunately, there was a limit to how heavy the Horned Eagle could carry. Otherwise, if they were equipped with a few dozen powerful Black Pulp Melons, they would basically become an aerial bomber.

The Black Mamba Giant Pythons were amphibious creatures, not only could it move freely deep in the water, it could also slither around at high speeds on land. Even though the group only had three of them, their offensive capabilities were not to be underestimated.

With a large number of premium equipment, with a team of Horned Eagle Knights and three Black Mamba Giant Pythons, Margaret was basically deadweight that even Yang Ling could not lift if she failed to deal with the pirates on the island.

“Sir, with the Skeleton Plaques and the memories of the two captives, we could totally infiltrate One-eyed Dragon’s main base of operations and assassinate him. Why are we wasting so much time and energy here?” The Corpse Wizard King shook his head as he flipped around the Skeleton Plaque in his hands.

“Hmph, according to the memories of the two captives, One-eyed Dragon’s tracks are very obscure. How would it be easy to kill him if even his personal guards do not know of his movements?”

After letting out a cold grunt, Yang Ling continued, “More importantly, all of our intelligence show that One-eyed Dragon has a special relationship with the Sea Tribe, and has a bunch of mysterious guards from the Sea Tribe around him at all times. If we act recklessly without understanding the situation, we might instead attract even more trouble. Furthermore, if we were to take action without full confidence, even if we killed One-eyed Dragon, the situation might become even worse if the many pirates started wandering around and committing atrocities now that they have no leader to lead them!”

“Hehehe, propping up a team of powerful pirates might be slow, but it is indeed much safer than directly taking action!” The Corpse Wizard King laughed after understanding Yang Ling’s intentions, no longer saying anything more.

While Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King were watching from the side, Margaret had already led her men in charging into Navia’s main camp. Along the way, her scouts had successfully killed off the enemy’s hidden scouts, charging into the area with their morale high, maniacally shooting arrows after surrounding their enemies. The concentrated rain of arrows not only instantly killed the patrol team of the enemy, many of the pirates who had been sleeping naked became pinned dead on their beds, unable to react in time.

“Quick, defend, attack, I’ll pay five hundred Purple Crystal Coins for every head you bring me!” After tilting his body to avoid a stray arrow, the bald pirate Navia quickly rushed out wearing large shorts, issuing a loud order.

He had spent much effort in snatching over a beautiful teenage woman today. He did not expect that the sounds of fierce battles would suddenly come from all around him after he had just torn off the little beauty’s clothes and was about to deflower her. In his alarm, he sent out twenty of his elite personal guards and watched over the battle personally, attempting to defend against the fierce attack of his enemy.

His pirates reacted to the generous rewards!

Even though the enemy had barged in all guns blazing, under the lead of the many personal guards, under the allure of the generous rewards, the pirates maniacally charged toward Margaret’s men.

“Hmph, you’re all asking for death!”

Looking at the pirates charging insolently toward her, Margaret lifted her right hand and sent out the secret team that was prepared for this trip. After a wave of shouts, a team of Horned Eagles appeared on the island, flying low. They were incredibly fast, shooting out bolts of blinding light from far away.

After an incandescent light flashed past, the crowd opened their eyes to see that the enemies who had been charging over in a frenzy had been caught off guard by the blinding beams of the Evil Eyes, all of them rubbing their eyes as they wailed pathetically. Following that, a concentrated rain of arrows descended from the skies, turning all of them into porcupines.

A few of the pirates who had been lucky enough to avoid the crisis had just turned around when they were grabbed up into the sky by the Horned Eagles, who had arrived like the wind in the blink of an eye, torn into two!

The Magical Beast Territory, this is the Magical Beast Army of the Magical Beast Territory!

Looking at the Horned Eagle charging toward him at lightning speed, the bald pirate Navia’s heart shook as he swallowed with difficulty. He turned to leave immediately after he reacted. Unexpectedly, the wall suddenly rumbled with a boom as a few giant pythons, each of them several dozen meters long, started pouncing toward him!

A surprise attack from the full army of the Magical Beast Territory?

There were ferocious beasts on either side of where he stood. In his despair, the bald pirate Navia took out a pentagonal crystal ore, prepared to release the message through a magical message. Unfortunately, even though he had reacted quickly, he was still one step too late. After a red light flashed past, his entire right arm was cleaved off!

At the critical moment, the female leader Margaret, who was wearing a red armor, had quickly arrived, severely injuring the bald pirate Navia with one slash. She then turned around and launched a side kick, sending him flying back. She ordered the rest of her female guards who were all wearing similar red armor to tie up the lecherous, violent person, prepared to bring him back to Dark Sand Island before beginning her interrogation.
