Chapter 247 I Have Not Been King for Many Years

Until this moment.

Only then did the red-haired female pirate in front of him believe that Duncan was not joking when he said he would give her the entire Tutu Harbor!

If they join forces, it's not impossible for them to take over the entire Port Tutu.

Barbarians spend their entire lives pursuing glory!

If it weren't for the pursuit of glory and the desire to become a legendary hero, this man's strength would likely have made him a powerful ruler anywhere, or even a king adored by millions.

A hero can also be a king.

But barbarians value honor and legend more, and for them, being a king might not be a good thing.

However, the man in front of him was clearly different. Although he was as rough as a barbarian, he possessed wisdom. He just preferred to solve problems in the simplest and most straightforward way.

Annie Porter stared at Duncan, seemingly observing his expression. She wondered when she had suddenly become so adept at reading people's expressions when dealing with this man.

She said cautiously, "I can lend you a boat, and sailors."

"If you need anything, I will try my best to meet your needs."

Upon hearing this, Duncan raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "That's not what I was asking."

That's not it?

what is that?
Wasn't his initial goal simply to borrow a boat from me?
The red-haired female pirate in front of her looked puzzled, but her expression quickly changed. She turned to look at the piles of gold and silver outside, then beckoned to her subordinates behind her and said solemnly, "Immediately send someone to find out about the other pirate leaders!"

"If they have any secret contact, notify me immediately."

Duncan, sitting directly opposite, smiled and clapped his hands in praise as he gazed at the other man's tall figure. "You're really smart."

"She truly is the woman I value."

Annie Porter sat down opposite the barbarian with a serious expression. She looked at Duncan with disbelief and murmured, "You guessed it all along?"

Duncan smiled without saying a word. He raised his hand and poured the other man a glass of wine, saying, "You will use our strength to kill the other pirate leaders."

“They’ll be alert immediately unless they’re idiots.”

"Early this morning."

"They then sent people with gold, silver, jewels, and beautiful women, so they must not be fools, but a bunch of old foxes."

Duncan took a sip of his drink and said, "If I'm not mistaken."

"Did they send someone to contact you today too?"

"There's a high probability they'll support you taking over everything from that unlucky guy?"

Once the killing begins, it won't end so easily.

The beautiful female pirate in front of them may seem to be using them as knives, but once the knives are drawn, they are so sharp that they would frighten the others.

"You already knew what would happen today when you were negotiating with me yesterday?" Anne Porter asked incredulously.

For some reason, she felt a sense of fear.

Duncan shook his head and said calmly, "No."

"I asked you what you want. Since you want the power of the Pirate King, then I will grant your wish."

"And then everything that is happening now will follow."

The beautiful female pirate bit her lip, her expression conflicted, and said, "You tricked me!"

Calculating?

No.

Duncan shook his head and said, "You schemed against yourself."

"I'm just giving you this opportunity."

During the conversation, the scarred pirate rushed over, glanced at Duncan with fear, and whispered, "The Megalodon, Old Pete, and the Sea Lizard have all secretly joined forces and have ambushed many people outside our stronghold."

Duncan's knife terrified all the forces in Tutu Harbor.

"why me?"

The red-haired female pirate in front of him had a solemn expression. She calmed herself down in a very short time and said in a deep voice, "Why did you choose me? With your strength, it would be too easy for you to get a ship here."

For a man who can ride sea monsters across the ocean, stealing a ship is child's play.

Duncan's expression was indifferent as he calmly said, "You saved Crete and the others."

"You are ambitious, capable, and intelligent."

"She's also pretty."

Duncan put down his glass, picked up a piece of roast meat, and continued, "But your strength is not enough to conquer the entire Tutu Port, so I chose you, which will also make it easier to control you in the future."

"Without my support, you will not be able to establish yourself, let alone deter other pirates."

"Without me, even if you take over this place, you will be attacked by other pirates."

The red-haired pirate was so angry she laughed.

She sat down opposite Duncan, picked up a piece of roast meat and tore into it, her beautiful face filled with a wildness. She said in a deep voice, "I have two questions."

Duncan ate slowly and calmly, saying, "Ask away."

The beautiful female pirate in front of him said slowly, "Since you are so confident, why don't you take over Tutu Port yourself? Then you will be the pirate king here."

Duncan said expressionlessly, "I don't think so."

These words startled the female pirate on the other side. She felt that the man was bragging, but everything that had happened last night told her that it was very likely true.

He genuinely looked down on it.

Duncan clapped his hands, wiped the grease off them with a cloth, and said as if jokingly, "I haven't been king for many years..."

I have not sat on the throne for many years.

You won't even address me as Your Majesty!
incredible.

In this era, there are still people who look down on the throne and even despise royal power.

Duncan gestured to his servant to pour him a glass of water, then calmly said, "You are more suitable. You can command these pirates, but in the future you will have to rely on me to gain a foothold."

"Taking Tutu Port is just the beginning, when I find my companions."

"The entire South China Sea, Missia Island, Trit Island, Hakane Island, and all the surrounding islands are yours."

"But then you can no longer be a pirate."

"You must become king."

"Hmm, a queen who rules over a dozen small islands, her territory is a bit small, but it should be enough."

king?
The red-haired female pirate's breathing quickened, and her gaze suddenly became intense.

Duncan made everything very clear.

Opposite him, Annie Porter looked shocked, yet also had the illusion of being overwhelmed by his kingly demeanor. She had already thought Duncan was arrogant yesterday, but she didn't expect that what he said today would be even more arrogant.

She's just a queen of a few overseas islands.

With a combined population of less than two or three hundred thousand, Duncan's help in ascending the throne was merely a training exercise.

None of these can be considered the main course of his arrival in this world.

He truly no longer wanted to sit on the throne. He had already reached the pinnacle of secular royal power and had no interest in meddling in the trivial affairs of the country every day.

There's no better way to live than being a barbarian, happily killing and fucking, and having a good time.

Duncan's words silenced many of the beautiful female pirate's doubts. She said in a deep voice, "There are thousands of enemies outside right now, all seasoned veterans who have traversed the seas!"

"If they break in, they can chop us into mincemeat!"

"Do you really think that the three of you can defeat so many pirates?"

How confident this man is!

Even she, who considered herself quite capable, was exhausted and forced to retreat in a sorry state when facing hundreds of powerful enemies.

This woman's fighting style is still that of an adventurer.

She didn't know that true warriors who had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield didn't care how many enemies there were. For Duncan, the only question about the enemy's level was: where were they?
"Let's go."

Duncan slowly stood up. Since he had orchestrated all of this, he had to wrap things up; otherwise, wouldn't the power of the king become a joke?

Annie Porter got up and followed, but her face instantly turned grim when she saw the dark mass of enemies outside the wall.

Too much!
Almost overnight, the pirate forces throughout Tutu Harbor united.

Annie Porter is considered to have considerable influence here, with over a hundred pirates under her command. Including those she subdued last night, she has about two hundred men, but some have already defected.

Her headquarters had just over a hundred people, while there were at least a thousand outside.

Megalodon, Old Pete, sea lizard, and so on.

Pirate leaders from Tutu Harbor gathered outside. As their numbers increased, their eyes grew increasingly greedy and violent. They couldn't wait to storm the stronghold, kill the troublemakers, and then tie up the beautiful Annie and torture her for their own amusement.

"Look at them, they're already getting impatient."

Duncan chuckled and asked, "What do you think of their ability?"

Beside him, the beautiful female pirate even showed a hint of regret and despair, murmuring, "They are all famous pirate leaders in the South China Sea, and their sailors are all seasoned veterans." Duncan laughed heartily and said in a deep voice, "Nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs."

To me, it's like putting up a sign to sell a top-quality item.

mad!
That's absolutely outrageous.

But Duncan's arrogance undoubtedly boosted the morale of the others. Even the red-haired female pirate's subordinates couldn't help but look at the heroic man, as if they were expecting something.

"Stand here and watch carefully, learn from this, and see how true warriors fight on the battlefield!"

"Let's see for ourselves what a legendary hero is like."

"So that she won't become arrogant and ignorant when she becomes queen!"

Duncan's imposing figure walked up to the high platform. A pile of huge stones had been piled up nearby. He turned his head and glanced at the beautiful female pirate not far away, then pointed to a burly guy wearing an eye patch and said, "Is that old Pete?"

Annie Porter's eyes widened, and she nodded unconsciously.

Four-star silver-grey marking.

They have some ability.

But that was it.

Duncan took a deep breath and roared, his muscles gleaming in the sunlight as if they were flowing steel. He hurled the boulder in his hand like a cannonball, with a force approaching that of a catapult.

—A giant throws a (giant rock)!
boom!
A mass of flesh and blood exploded.

Where Old Pete was, the ground trembled, nearby houses collapsed and crumbled, and pirates all around cried out in agony, some clutching their severed limbs and wailing. As for the pirate leader marked by Duncan, even his corpse was blown apart, as if he had been hit by a catapult.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

When Duncan mastered the Giant Throw, he was already a human catapult.

The key point is that, from God's perspective, his accuracy is ridiculously high.

The only drawback is that its range is not long enough.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Duncan didn't care about the consumption of his stamina bar at this moment. He was like a human cannon firing wildly, maintaining a frequency of one shot per second. In just five or six seconds, most of the pirate leaders that Annie Porter was so afraid of had been killed or wounded. The thousands of pirates surrounding the stronghold were all trembling with fear and fled in terror.

At that moment, Duncan was simply a god descended to earth!
the first time.

The red-haired female pirate deeply understood the vast difference between mortals and mythical heroes.

These pirate leaders, who had spent the entire night plotting and uniting, were utterly crushed by Duncan!

Except for a very few who reacted quickly and escaped, the rest all died on the spot.

Duncan didn't even bother to waste his breath on them.

As the emperor of a mighty empire, the king of kings, why would he need to waste words killing a few pirate leaders?

"Come with me!"

Duncan fired more than ten shots in quick succession, blasting the pirate coalition into a rout. Then, he picked up his heavy battle axe and, the moment he landed, unleashed a whirlwind of death. Wherever he went, blood and gore filled the air, leaving behind severed limbs. Crete, who was behind him, went berserk, chasing and hacking down dozens of people all by himself.

"Grandpa is still the best!"

Duncan hurled his battle axe, which whistled through the air, and instantly shattered the skull of a leader marked with a five-pointed white card.

Before anyone knew it, all of Annie Porter's men had charged out, howling.

Even she herself couldn't help but feel excited, and directly drew her slender sword. Like a whirlwind, she killed more than ten people in succession with amazing agility.

"glory!"

"This is true glory! This is true battle!"

Crete roared, unleashing a massive whirlwind that slashed away limbs and severed bodies all around him. He didn't care about his injuries, continuing his rampage as he roared, his ferocious power seemingly amplified.

Today's battle.

He returned to the sacred snow-capped mountains, where he and Ugal followed Duncan and the three of them killed more than a thousand pirates.

As for the red-haired female pirate and her hundreds of men?
cut.

They're just a bunch of lackeys waving flags and shouting slogans.

No one can take away the glory that belongs to him! He must kill at least twenty more pirates!

Despite his usual calm demeanor, Ugal becomes incredibly fierce during the Battle of Glory, almost recklessly so. They were killing people while simultaneously counting heads, competing to see who could kill more.

"Ability Awakening!"

"You have mastered the special ability [Inspired Frenzy] (Wildness)!"

Unknowingly.

The others around Duncan became frenzied, and even the beautiful female pirate drew her sword more fiercely, like an enraged female leopard.

— "Inspire Frenzy (Special Ability) (Feral): A branch ability of the Feral realm, mastered after accessing the Feral concept. When you activate Frenzy, nearby friendly units will be inspired, their morale will be high, and they will simultaneously enter a weak Frenzy state, increasing the strength and constitution of nearby friendly units and providing additional morale saves."

At this point, Duncan took another step on his legendary journey, delving deeper into the realm of the wild.

But when the battle ended.

Even the red-haired female pirate couldn't help but look at her blood-stained rapier in surprise, muttering, "What happened? Why do I feel the power of rage!"

She no longer needs to understand so much.

Amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Duncan stood up from the pile of corpses at his feet, looked at Crete and Ugal who were guarding him on either side, and asked, "Are you badly injured?"

Crete thumped his chest loudly and said in a muffled voice, "I can chop down ten more!"

That's what I said, but my legs still trembled a little when I walked.

These pirates could bully merchant ships, but they couldn't gain any advantage against regular armies. At sea, Duncan had a slightly better chance, but on land, when they faced a heavily armored, berserk barbarian, they realized what true despair was.

Once Duncan's foundation as the human host is solidified, his performance on the battlefield will be even more exaggerated than that of the earlier first human host.

This is true courage that no one can match.

At this moment, the red-haired female pirate finally understood that Duncan's confidence stemmed from his strength. Apart from Hyjal, very few people could face Duncan head-on. Even Prames, the son of the Golden King, could only rely on his elite Golden Guard to clash with Duncan and his group.

When Duncan went on the field with Haijal, it was like Schwarzenegger and Ronnie Coleman teaming up to beat up a kid.

No matter the era, miracles always happen with great force, and brute force is an absolute advantage in cold weapon combat.

Duncan is only slightly injured at this moment, but his stamina bar has been depleted by two-thirds. In terms of endurance, this human host is not as good as the first human host.

Barbarians are strong, and even more so when they go berserk, with explosive power that consumes even more stamina.

Who would throw boulders as ranged weapons for no reason?

"The Giant Throw is quite effective in actual combat. It's slightly less effective against skilled opponents, but it's very effective against weaker opponents."

The problem is the ammunition.

Duncan, soaked in blood, looked down at the red-haired female pirate before him and said in a deep voice, "Taking the entire Tutu Port, no problem, right?"

Almost everyone has been killed.

Except for a small number of people who escaped into the port and fled in pirate ships, all the others knelt down and begged for mercy.

correct!

My ship!
My fleet!
The red-haired female pirate seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly led her men to the port area. The ship was more important than the territory. After wiping out so many pirate leaders in one fell swoop, she could organize a naval fleet.

Duncan didn't care.

He wiped out all the pirates that the leader had marked in one go. If she still can't take control of Tutu Port after that, then this person is a bit too incompetent.

"Prames!..."

Duncan gazed at the distant sea, his eyes slightly cold. This was the first time he had been forced to jump into the sea, and he would get his revenge sooner or later.

He could actually just take a boat and leave.

But Hyjal has been kidnapped. Without recruiting some men, it won't be so easy. Those Amazonian warriors are quite capable of taking down the legendary mythical hero, the Son of God.

Hyjal may be a bit stupid, but he's not bad.

"Find the other barbarians first."

"Then send messengers to the Great Snow Mountain to recruit more barbarians in the name of glory!"

The barbarians were all driven into the sea.

If it weren't for the many deaths during Hydra hunt in Hyjal, and if Duncan had only been given twenty barbarians, the outcome of the battle on the Gold Coast would have been very different.

This number is sufficient to form a real battle formation and a barbarian personal guard.

Several days passed quickly.

After a major reshuffle of the pirate forces in Tutu Harbor, Duncan led his barbarians to set sail for the Amazons to rescue Hyjal, hoping he wouldn't be drained dry.

Before setting off, Duncan offered another sacrifice to the raging gods, telling them that he had conquered the island.

The God of Power did not react, but Lady Raging Waves was delighted!
The sea is blessing them.

Lady Raging Waves is an extremely greedy deity. In many legends of the North Sea, if a barbarian warrior suddenly disappears on the sea, it is likely that he has been taken away by Lady Raging Waves' maidens.
