Chapter 144
Chapter 144 Joseon's Counterattack (1)
Pirate King Carlos sets out to conquer the New World with a large fleet of thousands of ships.
He and the Black Pirates entered the endless sea with a majestic spirit, but as it was notorious, it was an extremely dangerous place where tension could not be lost even for a moment.
Aww.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!”
“Kieack!”
Huge sea monsters that appear from time to time. No matter how experienced sailors who have lived their entire lives at sea, they could not easily respond to the surprise attack of those who suddenly appeared and attacked the ship.
“Keugh...! Abandon the ship! Everyone escape!”
“Full speed ahead! Ships that are not under attack should raise their sails and get out of the danger zone as quickly as possible!”
However, when the giant monster appeared as if they had learned the strategy through several experiences, the Black Pirates began to move in perfect order. The crew of the attacked ship quickly abandoned the ship and moved to another nearby ship, while the ships preparing to fire at the sea monster were busy with their crews roaming the decks.
“The entire fleet fires!”
Cuckoo coo!
“Kyaaaaaaagh!”
They progressed little by little, defeating the giant monster in exchange for one ship.
Sacrificing dozens... no, hundreds of ships, heading towards the unknown new continent in the direction that the compass, which contains advanced magical power, leads.
“How is the current situation?”
Pirate King Carlos looked down at the navigation map for a while. An adjutant answered his question.
“So far, the number of ships destroyed by the sea monster attack is 142 medium attack ships, 31 supply ships, and 21 large ships. There are approximately 2,100 casualties and injuries, and the number of overstaffed ships continues to increase, creating problems with food supply and space shortages.”
Carlos leads thousands of ships across the endless sea. He was able to realize how foolish his initial plan was as he received a report on the damages caused so far by giant monsters that suddenly appeared from the sea and smashed ships indiscriminately.
“It was a place where you would have no choice but to die if you sent only one boat recklessly.”
Extreme level of difficulty where you have to risk abandoning a ship once a sea monster appears. It was self-evident that if he sent only one ship as he had initially planned, he would become a ghost sunk into the deep sea without being able to withstand the attack of a gigantic monster that he would not dare to deal with. And as if agreeing with this, the adjutant nodded and said with shining eyes as if he was great.
“you're right. With thousands of ships like this, it's a shame that we couldn't deal with the sea monster unless it was of a decent size, and we almost got helpless.”
Even if one ship is broken, the ship to replace it has enough firepower to neutralize the giant monster at once. So, while minimizing the damage than expected, Carlos and the Black Pirates' fleet were cruising through this terribly dangerous endless sea in their own way.
“Did you expect all of this...?”
I didn't know it at the time, but now Jae-young, who told me to consider these things and mobilize all my troops, looked great.
Carlos lived a life like a worm, locked in a dungeon and waiting for the day he would die. He suddenly appeared to save himself, rekindled his passionate heart, which he thought had already died out, and suggested a new goal. On top of that, thinking that he had anticipated and prepared for all of this while directly experiencing the fear of the endless sea, Carlos' affinity for Dex was reaching an inexplicably high level.
[Carlos' favorability increases significantly.]
[Carlos will believe the player's words, even if the sun rises in the west.]
“What is it...?”
A sudden status message. Hearing the message that he had not done anything but that his liking had risen significantly, Jaeyoung looked back with a puzzled look and murmured.
“What's wrong, master? What's going on?”
“No, nothing. Just because someone was talking about me.”
Jaeyoung evades Tan's question and clears his ears. At his words, Tan said with a strangely proud smile as if it was natural.
“If there are people who talk about their masters, maybe there are a lot of them? At least the kids on our side even have a fan club for the owner, right?”
“what....?”
Jae-young asks with an absurd face when he hears that he even has a fan club among the demons. However, whether or not he knew how he felt, Tan spoke proudly over and over again.
“You don't have to be shy. I still thought that when it came to viciousness and wickedness, these days, I was sticking to too classic methods and couldn't keep up with the latest trends. So I was thinking about what to do, but if you watch what the owner is doing, you will know what direction the real demons should go. That’s why we’re thoroughly educating imps these days!”
A black scroll that I took out every time and scribbled something on myself. I don't know how to educate him with it, but Jae-young was speechless at the fact that he had become a superstar among demons, and stood there with his mouth open.
“If you get a chance later, do you really want to come and play? I treat you with a real full course... Kuek!”
El's divine power punch flew before he could even finish his words. After getting hit in the back of the head, leaving behind the bullets that landed on the deck, El spoke in a cold, contemptuous tone.
“I said If you keep flirting with the contractor about strange things, I will destroy them all.”
Jaeyoung's guardian angel, L. She said with a ferocious air, as if she couldn't see Jaeyoung hanging out with demons in the demon realm until dirt got in her eyes.
“You should know well, Dex-sama. I've said it before, but no matter how much a contract is made and it can't be helped, if you hang out with such baseless bats, your soul itself gets dirty. So no matter what that bastard says, just don't listen and don't associate with him at all.”
“You damn chicken! Who keeps saying that there is no root! Do you really want to lose!”
This time, Tan snarls with a bloody spirit, ready to fight El. However, L did not blink an eye and laughed at him with an expression full of ridicule.
“Can I win against a subject that is excited and smashed?”
The wrath of bullets that must never be touched. A smashed Deathbringer.
Demon King with Bare Hands VS Archangel with Muspelheim.
If asked to bet on who would win this match, it was a self-evident fight that he would gather his soul and bet on the latter, so despite her ridicule, there was nothing Tan could do other than hold on to the back of his head.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh, that fucking chicken is really...”
L said, looking at Jaeyoung with a strange face as Tan was screaming at himself because he couldn’t help the rising anger.
“I don't think this idiot bat bastard understands properly... but I understand Dex's deep meaning.”
“huh? What are you talking about?”
something he did without thinking. However, Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled look as L smiled favorably saying that he knew the deep meaning.
“The one that freed Carlos. I know very well that he is not good enough to be saved like that. But because of that, in the end, the dizzy and chaotic Caribbean was stabilized, and the smiles returned to the faces of the people who lived there.”
Although it was a law and rule that was used only among criminals, those who lived a much better life than those who lived in hiding in fear of the disorderly reality of the past and full of worries about dying every day. Michael was satisfied with the fact that such meaningless deaths were reduced.
“And... I persuaded Carlos, who was trying to make the Caribbean notorious by disturbing the continent, to immerse them all in something a little more fruitful and productive. To venture beyond this endless sea that no human has ever dared to attempt, to a new continent that has even been forgotten. Leading the entire force of the Black Pirates.”
If not, they would have already disturbed the entire continent with plundering and piracy. But now they continued sailing with almost their entire force. Not backing down from the attacks of the sea monsters, and advancing through the great sea of Arcadia without hesitation. And in all of this series of processes, Michael believed that Jae-young had chosen the best lesser evil, even though he was not perfect.
“Even though the chaos won't completely disappear... Still, no one can preemptively put an end to another great chaos that would have brought a new life direction to the Caribbean and the Black Pirates, and possibly to the entire continent. It is something that is not easily done.” How should Jaeyoung respond to Michael's compliments that are not compliments, as he says that even when he sees something like
“.....”, he
interprets it positively, regardless of his intentions, as if there are many different interpretations of what he thinks? I didn't know, I kept my mouth shut. And Tan vehemently rebelled against her words.
“What is he saying now! You damn chicken! Our master is an outright evil no matter who sees it! Don't disparage the role model of the imps and the pioneering hope of our demons in that way!”
“shut up! It's a fucking bat! I heard that you can only see dogs and pigs with the eyes of pigs and dogs. Without understanding the deep and gigantic practice of goodness and justice, it is disgusting to see the sublime meaning being tarnished like that, so I won't let it go!”
When I was killing time while watching Tan and L fight seriously with strange subjects such as whether Jaeyoung is a good person or is he a wicked person whom the devils praise and support as teachers.
The jubilant voice of the lookout who was watching from the top of the mast was heard.
“I see Yu land! Land!”
“what....? really?”
“I can't believe it... was the legend really true?”
“A new continent... Ohhh! Dear God...”
The green earth began to be visible from afar, though it was faint. And the Black Pirates, who had been tired of the fact that there were humans living similar lives to their own, catching fish with fishing boats, even though they were small ships, were filled with joy. And then praised.
“Carlos! Carlos!”
An unknown sea where nothing has been revealed. Only after finding a new continent by breaking through it with one firm conviction and faith, Carlos, the Pirate King, their lord and leader of the Black Pirates.
thump thump thump.
The sound of footsteps began to resonate starting with one ship. And this sound, which began to spread one by one as if it were contagious, filled the sea and resounded loudly.
“Carlos! Carlos!”
And various messages began to appear in front of Jaeyoung's eyes.
[Legendary achievement. The player has discovered a new continent for the first time.]
[Reporting related facts to the main continent will bring great honor and wealth.] [
The title ‘Great Navigator' has been acquired.]
[The title ‘Unknown Explorer' has been obtained. ]
[You have entered a continent with a different language zone.]
[The real-time interpretation and translation system is applied. Japanese - Korean.]
[The main scenario has reached a huge turning point.]
[The linked quest base capture has been created.]
“Ohh..... I wanted to go somewhere, but it's Japan...”
Japan, the country closest to Korea. .
As if reflecting its geopolitical location, the continent that Carlos's fleet reached was none other than the continent that Japanese players play as a base. And Jaeyoung felt a strange irony in that fact.
“All ready for battle! Completely occupy this coast at once!”
“yes! All ready for battle!”
“Prepare for battle!”
The sailors move in perfect order at Carlos' words and prepare for battle. Seeing the appearance of the Black Pirates attacking that peaceful coastal city even right now, Jaeyoung gave a strangely evil smile and muttered a small whisper to himself.
“This is Joseon’s counterattack, you bastards.”
