Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 478 Plan
White light flashed from the sapphire flagship. A moment later, several transaction contracts floating in the air either succeeded and split in two, flowing into the contractor and Ye Mo's bodies, or failed and shattered into bubble-like light points that disappeared into the void.

Zizizi!
Ye Mo nodded slightly, and the silly bear behind him immediately waved its paw. With lightning flashing and thunder surging, the sapphire crew members whose contracts had failed were instantly turned into charred remains, leaving behind corpses that were barely recognizable as human.

Seeing this scene, the other people who had successfully made contracts felt both fear and a sense of relief.

If they had other ideas, they probably would have died like those other people.

“Very good. Now that you have all signed the contract, you naturally have the right to live. From now on, you will follow behind me, and I will arrange your next tasks later.”

Facing the six figures in front of him, Ye Mo smiled slightly and spoke.

Of the sapphire fleet that came to Pirate Bay this time, apart from the [Holy Sea Knight], there were only eleven other people who were of some value to him: six fourth-tier professional warriors and five people with outstanding talents.

To deal with these people, he led them to the somewhat dilapidated captain's cabin on the flagship and explained in detail the surrender of the [Holy Sea Knights] and their plan to survive. After a selection process involving trade contracts, six people successfully signed contracts, two of whom were fourth-tier high-level professionals.

Although the success rate of the contracts seems average, it's important to know that the content of the contracts he signs with these people varies.

If the previous transaction contract between the Holy Sea Knights treated him as a human being, then the contracts signed by these people completely disregarded him as a human being; they were nothing short of slave contracts.

Therefore, Ye Mo was already very satisfied with the successful signing of these six people. After all, these were six loyal subordinates whose lives were completely in his hands, the kind of subordinates who would work overtime indefinitely, without complaint, and even choose not to be paid.

"Yes, Pirate King." The six who survived by successfully signing the contract nodded hurriedly and looked at Ye Mo respectfully.

On the other side, thanks to the efforts of the Holy Sea Knights, all the remaining crew members in the Sapphire Fleet were killed one by one, leaving only their hot blood flowing on the decks of the warships, presenting a tragic scene.

"My lord. I have killed all the others."

A muffled thud was heard, and Bruce, the [Holy Sea Knight] who had flown in from afar, landed on the flagship's deck. He looked at Ye Mo in front of him and said respectfully.

"Okay, I understand. These men have surrendered to me now, so you'll be leading them for the time being. Now, all of you, come with me to Pirate Bay." Ye Mo looked at the arriving [Holy Sea Knight] and nodded slightly, showing considerable respect for their combat prowess.

A moment later, several figures rose from the flagship's deck, flew into the air, and then quickly flew towards Pirate Bay Port.

At this moment, the pirates at Pirate Bay harbor no longer felt the tension and fear they had before; instead, they were filled with excitement and exhilaration.

It's important to understand that among the pirates who remained here, not only the ordinary pirates who were completely unaware of the situation, but even the fourth-tier great pirates who knew about the Sapphire Merchant Guild's arrival, most of them were filled with tension and worry when facing the legendary [Holy Sea Knight].

Even the three pirate overlords who knew for certain that Ye Mo would be coming were equally uneasy about the arrival of the Holy Sea Knight.

After all, that was a well-established Saint-level expert. No one knew how strong he was when he unleashed his full power. If the Pirate King couldn't withstand it, they might not even be able to escape.

What happened next was partly in line with what those pirate overlords had imagined.

For example, the Holy Sea Knights are indeed veteran Saint-level powerhouses. Their full-force combat power is terrifying. If we were to fight them, even if they brought their crew and gathered their commanding presence, they would only face certain death.

But the Pirate King's performance later on exceeded his expectations. Under the combined attack of those magical beasts, even a Saint-level expert didn't have a chance to escape.

It can be said that after this battle, the loyalty of all the pirates who witnessed it increased dramatically. Even those fourth-tier pirates who were threatened and controlled by the Flesh Seed were now completely convinced and dared not have any other thoughts.

"Welcome, Pirate King!"

Upon seeing Ye Mo and his group arrive, the three pirate overlords, Harold the Flesh Butcher, Marcus the Blood Axe, and Elena the Dragon Blood Berserker, immediately flew over and bowed respectfully.

"Pirate King! Pirate King!"

Upon hearing this, the other pirates cheered the name of their Pirate King, their shouts soaring to the heavens and echoing throughout the entire Pirate Bay. The lower-ranking extraordinary pirates were filled with adoration; it could be said that after this battle, no one would question the prestige of Pirate King Ye Mo.

Ye Mo, who had brought Bruce, the Holy Sea Knight, and others with him, nodded slightly upon seeing this. Standing behind the three spirit pets, he briefly praised the courage of the pirates before beckoning to the three pirate overlords. Then, amidst cheers, he flew into the Pirate Bay.

Although the pirates didn't make a move or even have the chance to, Ye Mo was still quite satisfied with the performance of some of them.

It's important to understand that when he ordered the pirates to defend Pirate Bay Wharf against the Sapphire Merchant Guild, he made no attempt to conceal the guild's fleet strength. Furthermore, aside from the three major pirate leaders, no other pirates knew of his impending arrival.

Therefore, the fact that these pirates arrived in time was already a testament to their loyalty, even though the lives of most of them were under his control. After all, this mission was practically suicide for these pirates.

However, besides these pirates, quite a few other powerful pirates haven't arrived yet. It's obvious that those who haven't returned will have excuses, such as the distance being too far or unforeseen circumstances along the way.

But with Bai You by his side, he could discern the truth or falsehood in the other party's words.

If those big pirates can't give a reasonable answer, then he can't blame Bai You for making him the executioner. It just so happens that Bai You hasn't reached level 49 yet, so there's still room for improvement.

Thinking of all this, Ye Mo smiled coldly to himself.

……

Pirate Bay, Bloodstained Arena.

Inside the vast and spacious hall, Ye Mo sat in the head seat, with the three pirate overlords and the newly subdued [Holy Sea Knight] Bruce sitting to his left and right, respectively.

Further away were Hanhan and Isaac, who, due to their enormous size, stayed around the conference platform, some standing and some sitting. "Your Majesty, this is the current list of all the major pirates in Pirate Bay, as well as their general movements during this period. This is the specific document recording this information."

After Elena, the "Dragon Blood Berserker," finished recounting all the relevant information about the great pirates during this period, she respectfully handed a large document to Ye Mo's desk.

"Okay, I understand." Ye Mo nodded calmly, opened the contract space, and put away all the documents in front of him.

Next, Harold, the "Flesh Butcher," began to report on the development of Pirate Bay during this period. Just as Ye Mo had expected, Pirate Bay had been developing very smoothly shortly after he left. By collecting tolls and protection fees from ships traveling to and from the Pirate Bay's headquarters, the entire Pirate Bay had made a fortune.

However, the good times didn't last long. After various forces secretly tested the waters, the development of the entire Pirate Bay took a sharp downturn. But overall, it was still okay, since there were just too many ships heading to the Pirate Merchant Guild. Even if they only collected a portion of them, they could still make a fortune.

However, with the Pirate King remaining silent and the pirates of Pirate Bay showing signs of weakness in their counterattacks, the probing by other forces became increasingly apparent, even turning into provocations.

As a result, the development of the entire Pirate Bay deteriorated, especially after Bruce, the president of the Sapphire Merchant Guild and the "Holy Sea Knight," defeated the two major pirate overlords. At that time, the pirates in Pirate Bay could not collect tolls or protection fees, and sometimes they were even robbed when they encountered powerful fleets.

Therefore, the Pirate Bay's revenue decreased over time, and even turned negative at times.

Ye Mo could understand this. [Blood Axe] Marcus was in charge of the Pirate Bay battle, and according to his statistics, the number of pirates killed or wounded in the entire Pirate Bay was countless, and there were many damaged warships.

The casualties among the ordinary pirates were relatively better; even if one group died, a second group could be quickly brought out. The wounded were also treated with little money with the help of Xiao Liu'er.

But warships are different; they don't just appear out of thin air without money. And for the Pirate Bay forces, warships are indispensable; otherwise, they wouldn't even have enough manpower to collect protection money and tolls, let alone form a naval force.

After learning about the situation in Pirate Bay from the reports of the three pirate leaders, Ye Mo nodded slightly without much emotional change. He simply said to the three of them, "I know all of this. You should go back and organize the banquet. This victory really needs everyone to relax a bit."

"By the way, register all the pirates who witnessed this battle. Transfer all the ordinary pirates to work in Pirate Bay and don't let them leave the island for the next few months. As for the other big pirates, warn them not to leak the details of this battle, or they should know the consequences."

Hearing Ye Mo's cold words, the three pirate overlords were shocked and nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.

A short while later, Ye Mo saw the three pirate overlords leave and nodded to himself.

Although the pirates who had previously witnessed him fighting the Holy Sea Knight were all core members of the Pirate Bay, and most of them had consumed the flesh and blood seeds created by Little Willow, their lives were entirely in his hands.

Even so, it would be troublesome if the pirates revealed his relationship with the Holy Sea Knight.

While it's impossible to deduce from the previous situation that the Holy Sea Knight had become his subordinate, even the mere fact that other factions knew the Holy Sea Knight had joined forces with him after his defeat could lead to many conclusions.

This makes it somewhat troublesome to subsequently use the [Holy Sea Knight] as an inside agent.

Ultimately, however, his subsequent arrangements for the [Holy Sea Knights] were still aimed at finding out which forces wanted to take action against the Pioneer Merchants Association, and becoming an inside agent meant becoming an inside agent for those forces.

In this way, as long as the relationship between the Pirate Merchant Guild and Pirate Bay is not exposed, it will not be a big deal even if the connection between the Holy Sea Knights and the Blood Moon Pirate King is revealed.

Who knows, someone might even come to Pirate Bay to ask him to join forces against the Pirates.

“Bruce, when you go back this time, you must remember…”

As Ye Mo explained the follow-up plans to Bruce, the [Holy Sea Knight], Bruce's expression became serious, and he nodded in agreement from time to time.

However, Bruce was somewhat surprised to hear that most of Ye Mo's plans were related to the Pioneer Merchant Guild, and wondered if the adults also wanted to take action against the Pioneer Merchant Guild.

After all, the Chamber of Commerce during this period is like a hot commodity, and everyone wants to learn more about it.

But when Ye Mo revealed that the Pioneer Chamber of Commerce was under his command, Bruce's thick face immediately showed a look of shock.

You should know that the Pioneer Chamber of Commerce really does have a fifth-tier expert, and there's a 99% chance that he's a powerful Saint-level necromancer.

If the Pioneer Merchant Guild is the power of the person he now submits to, then wouldn't it mean that the opponent didn't show their full strength in the previous battle?

Otherwise, if the Pirate King had brought along those fifth-tier necromancers, he would have been defeated even earlier and more miserably.

Thinking about all this, Bruce, the Holy Sea Knight, felt increasingly satisfied with his decision to submit. Although it was somewhat shameful for a fifth-tier Saint-level expert to become someone else's servant, the Pirate King had other Saint-level subordinates besides him, so he wasn't too ashamed.

Moreover, this was only the information the Pirate King had given him; he had absolutely no idea how many Saint-level subordinates the Pirate King actually had.

In his view, given the enormous profits and capabilities demonstrated by the Pirate King's Chamber of Commerce, as well as the strength of the Pirate King himself, there must be at least three or four subordinates of the same Saint-level as him.

In this case, even some weak ducal royal families, without considering their family's resources, would probably only have so-so overall strength.

Ye Mo was unaware of Bruce's inner turmoil, but he noticed that Bruce's gaze towards him had become increasingly respectful. Although he could only guess that it might be related to the Pioneer Merchant Guild, that was enough.

"That's all. After you take those people and get on the warship, hurry back. If you need anything, just send a message through the teleportation array."

"Yes, my lord."

As Bruce, the Holy Sea Knight, accepted a portable teleportation array disk, he bowed respectfully under Ye Mo's watchful gaze and then withdrew from the Blood Radiance Arena.
