Chapter 964 The Pirate King's First Battle is a Victory

Choosing a battlefield, right? The advantage of pirate ships is, of course, fighting on water. The divine realm of pirate ships can probably turn land into water, but it will definitely be less convenient than natural water.

Da Chun decisively chose: "Let's go to the river!"

The Dragon King replied, "Very well, I will also inform the Blood Demon to find an opportunity to retreat."

Da Chun panicked: "Don't tell him the secret of the pirate ship."

The Dragon King laughed: "Of course, after all, we were just cellmates, and our relationship wasn't close enough for us to entrust each other with secrets."

Da Chun was deeply moved: "But you entrusted your secret life and death to me."

The Dragon King smiled: "Because I already know some of your story from your dragon horns..."

Seriously? You think wearing those dragon horns can be a surveillance camera? But the ten elders present were definitely monitoring the situation closely.

Da Chun added some details: "Can you make a public announcement? Find a suitable reason to go to the riverbank, so that people don't think you went there specifically to challenge me to a duel."

The Dragon King laughed: "The pirate ship must have a lot of treasure, right? It makes perfect sense for a dragon to track down treasure."

Um...that's true. But I really don't have any treasure.

After a short while, the Dragon King replied, "The Blood Demon has his own plans, so I'm going to the riverbank!"

"Okay, I'll be there soon too."

Even so, I can't go in to watch the battle. If I leave, the brothers in the orchard and the chamber of commerce will definitely be finished.

To be honest, luring the Dragon King away from the village means my pirate ship will have all the experience points, which is a shame for the tens of thousands of brothers in the village. But, when it really matters, we have to use our best resources where they're most needed!
A moment later, Ellen from the larger version spoke up: "Ready!"

Wow, that really is a rocket! It's so fast! It's a pity we can't see it.

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

The butler is providing real-time updates on the spread of the news of "Sherry swapping for Tifa" in taverns across various cities.

While Shira stayed by the river to watch over the cargo ship, he urged Uriel in the village to record Shirley's progress. Shirley hadn't arrived in the village yet. Although Shirley's ice boat was quite fast, and the village was more than ten kilometers from the riverbank, that was only the straight-line distance on the map; the actual terrain suitable for water movement was probably more than twenty kilometers.

The current battle situation is that the four guardians are divided into two groups and fighting the Dragon King, mainly to deplete the Dragon King's physical strength and magical power.

As midnight approached, the Dragon King's roar echoed through the night sky: "The scent of treasure!"

Uriel urgently alerted: "Sila, be careful! The Dragon King has flown to the river! The Bacchus Angel and the Black Dragon God are in pursuit!"

Sila was stunned: "Is this aimed at me? I don't have any treasure here."

But he immediately ordered the cargo ship: "Sound the horn, sound the alarm!"

As the sound of the steam whistle reached the village, Uriel reported again: "The mentor and Fafnir, the four beauties of the city, have also left the magic tower and flown away."

Sila was taken aback: "The Four Beauties? Eve went too? She's not in charge of the Magic Tower anymore?"

Uriel exclaimed in astonishment, "I'm not mistaken, Eve has gone out too. This magic tower is left to my merchant guild's witch to preside over."

Raphael exclaimed incredulously, "Unless Eve gave us the password to the magic tower, right? That's incredibly generous!"

Uriel got excited: "I'll shout in the Chamber of Commerce channel and see if I can get in, then I can have a general overview of the battle."

[Vice President Uriel]: Everyone, I'm at the bottom of the magic tower, may I go in?
Kasha hesitated, "Vice President, Miss Eve instructed that, apart from the few of us present..."

Metadisia: "Besides, these are also the young lady's personal belongings. It's inconvenient to call a man in. It would also make us guests seem impolite."

Yulia sighed, "That's right. Even though we are demons, we should still show some courtesy to our newly made friends."

Olica: "Don't worry, Vice President, with us here, we can still protect the village."

At that moment, Da Chun almost laughed out loud on the channel!

Uriel was really something. Did he mean I was being rude? But I had no choice but to swallow my anger and say, "I understand."

Sila couldn't help but chuckle!

Uriel was furious: "You're about to die, how can you still be laughing?"

Xila laughed helplessly: "You, don't stay in the village, fly out and support me—"

Just then, Xila suddenly noticed a thick night fog around the river! It completely obscured the lights of Tieyan Village in the distance, and the sailors on the cargo ship were in a panic!
This doesn't seem like a Dragon King's skill.

But Sila reacted instantly, immediately ordering the cargo ship: "Stop honking, turn off all lights, and be completely silent!"

Sariel, however, snapped out of his reverie: "This is somewhat like the night fog the Sirens used to seize ships!"

The next moment, Xila's instruments detected violent spatial fluctuations in the surrounding area, and then a radiant ship appeared in the night fog!
The chat group erupted in an uproar: "What?!"

A beam of light shot from the searchlight on the large ship, piercing through the night fog and shooting into the sky, instantly locating the Dragon King flying in from the air!

The Dragon King laughed heartily: "A pirate guardian deity? It certainly looks like it's brimming with treasure!"

The men were shocked: "What?!"

Suddenly, the ship's loudspeaker emitted a strange and piercing singing sound, and Sila felt her whole body tremble. The screen also flickered and swayed as if it were being interfered with.

Michael was shocked: "The Song of the Naga Siren!"

Sariel asked in surprise, "Boss said that the Pirate Guardian is a ship that only the Pirate King can sail, is that right?"

Metatron asked, "Is it the third generation?"

Michael was shocked: "Without a doubt! This is an inland river hundreds of kilometers away from the harbor. Only the divine skills of the pirate guardian deity could allow it to sneak here! This ship is not only a god, but also a vehicle. It looks like it is carrying at least one Naga, but it is uncertain whether the Pirate King is on board."

Gabriel said, "The news of Sherry had just spread when this ship arrived. It's possible that the Pirate King is interested in this exchanged fiancée!"

Sila was getting anxious: "It's water mist again, and my screen is blurry. Should I fly closer to see it clearly?"

Michael said, "No, this is clearly a major battle between the two sides!"

As they spoke, the Dragon King swooped down along the beam of the searchlight, and the Radiant Pirate Ship unleashed its full firepower, instantly weaving a magnificent barrage of explosions into the night sky!

The chat group erupted in uproar again: "It's the Machine God!"

But the next moment, a huge ice ball burst out of the barrage and flew towards the pirate ship like a meteor!

The elders were stunned: "Ice shield? It blocked it?"

"This pirate ship's firepower looks impressive but isn't very effective..."

Michael said, "It's certain the Pirate King isn't on board, otherwise the firepower wouldn't be so weak. It's also probably related to the distance..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden shield rose up on the pirate ship, suddenly slowing the ice ball's descent. Then it crashed into the golden shield with a deafening roar, creating towering waves in the river!
At that moment, Sila couldn't see anything clearly: "It sank?"

Sariel was shocked: "No way, that golden shield is clearly a high-ranking priest's divine spell! How could the Pirate King have it?"

Gabriel exclaimed in surprise, "The ice puck is clearly slowing down; that's a Discipline spell, with an effect similar to time stop!" Sariel snapped back to reality: "Let's use the Discipline spell and the shield simultaneously!"

Michael said in a deep voice, "So you mean there's at least one archbishop-level priest on the pirate ship! It's one thing for this third generation to have a Naga siren, but to have someone like this? Are you sure he's from a pirate background?"

Gabriel exclaimed in surprise, "Or is this pirate king actually an archbishop?"

Sariel was puzzled: "Anyway, it's impossible for the Five Cities Church to have an archbishop who reaches this level, and even a genius saint like Remia couldn't do it. As for the Imperial Church headquarters... the old version didn't have it, and it's uncertain about the new version..."

Gabriel thought for a moment: "Could it be that some member of the royal family has the authority to mobilize bishops of this rank?"

Michael was also puzzled: "If there really is such a powerful royal family, it is unlikely that the emperor would not know about it, given his intelligence."

Sila grew impatient: "We've been talking for so long, and we still can't see anything. I'm going to dive down and take a look!"

Michael panicked: "Calm down, you're not a very good swimmer!"

Sila was even more anxious: "Anyway, Uriel is flying over soon. If I die, he'll be in charge of the live stream!"

Uriel sighed, "Then go dive down. With your divine realm, you probably won't die so easily!"

Without saying a word, Sila jumped into the river.

The underwater front was flashing with the light of cannons, and the deafening roar, mixed with the crashing waves, made the sound system of Xila completely silent!
The men were shocked: "This pirate ship can fire cannons underwater, and it can even function as a submarine?"

Sila struggled to swim against the waves, the cannon fire getting closer and closer, the waves crashing against her more and more violently, until Sila was too far away to get any closer. But at least she could make out an outline: a giant dragon was clinging to the pirate ship and biting it hard underwater! At the same time, the pirate ship was firing at her at point-blank range!
Sila was dumbfounded: "What kind of stupid brawl is this? Is the Dragon King really that stupid?"

Michael instantly understood: "Not stupid at all. As long as the pirate ship is held aloft, neither the Four City Flowers nor the Four Guardian Gods can help on the water. The Dragon King has avoided being surrounded!"

Xila then realized: "And it seems that the Dragon King has a better chance of winning. After all, a pirate ship isn't a real submarine. It can be destroyed by water with just a little damage, right?"

Gabriel exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute, the priest on the pirate ship can even heal with his golden light!"

The crowd erupted in uproar: "Heal the pirate ship? Is this still a mechanical ship?"

Michael exclaimed, "It's a god! If the pirate ship wins this battle, then he will be qualified to stand against the Emperor!"

Metatron was very unhappy: "I hope the Corsair lose."

Michael sighed helplessly, "Little Mei, what a lack of perspective..."

Uriel reported: "The four city beauties found Shirley, boarded her skateboard ice boat together, and sped back. The five of them working together are so fast, I can't even keep up!"

Michael laughed: "Interesting. Although the four city beauties can't help with the battle underwater, Sherry has a divine skill that can turn her into a tree in the Gem City arena. With the support of the four city beauties, she may pose a threat to the Dragon King underwater."

Finally, Uriel reached the riverbank, but it was dark and foggy, and he couldn't see anything.

Just then, Wine Angel spoke in the Chamber of Commerce channel: "Vice President, please stop."

Uriel was stunned: "We are now allies fighting against the Dragon King!"

The wine angel advised, "You can't help, so please stop."

Uriel laughed: "You can't help either?"

Wine Angel: "No comment!"

Uriel said helplessly, "We're allies, can't we say that?"

The wine angel grew impatient: "Vice President, I'm not drunk!"

Xila said, "There's movement underwater. There's indeed a thick shadow binding the Dragon King!"

Michael breathed a sigh of relief: "It must have been Sherry who activated the Tree Transformation spell. With the Four City Flowers' magic power, the pirate ship has a very good chance of winning."

Xila suddenly remembered something: "Didn't the mentor come out too? What's the situation with the mentor? Will she just watch the dragons be defeated?"

Uriel said, "I only saw the four city beauties with Shirley, I didn't see the mentor."

Sila snorted: "Never mind, I'll ask in my guild channel."

[Elder Shelley of the Broken Bottle Merchant Guild]: "Is the mentor here? I'm watching the battle from underwater, and I feel like the Dragon King is about to be defeated."

The mentor sighed, "I was there watching! It was entangled by the ancient rune tree. It's a pity it didn't fall to my child's claws."

Xila tentatively asked, "We went through so much trouble to rescue the Dragon King from hell, aren't we going to save him now?"

The mentor sighed, "Save the siege monster? Both guardians are there, and one of them is my child. Where do we stand? How will the Twilight Church survive after this?"

Sila then relaxed and chatted casually: "To be honest, our initial goal was just to save the orchard, but it ended up causing such a big problem."

The mentor sighed, "Actually, I came here to see what kind of treasure aura the Dragon King was talking about, that it was worth it risking its life for him."

Sila immediately became interested: "What treasure is on the ship?"

The mentor sighed, "I can't really tell. Perhaps this is the difference between my Lord-level and Dragon King-level."

The group fell into deep thought: "So, the Pirate King's treasure really is there...?"

……

At this moment, Da Chun was extremely anxious!

The smaller account could only see fireworks filling the sky, while the larger account had even lost contact with the pirate ship. Although they knew the Dragon King was deliberately sacrificing himself, they were worried the pirate ship wouldn't be able to handle the situation.

The only information they received came from Uriel's chat on the Chamber of Commerce channel, but even he was confused about the battle situation due to the darkness and mist. This was actually a good thing; if even the Ten Elders, with their powerful surveillance capabilities, couldn't figure out the situation, then there was no fear of being exposed.

A second is like a year:

—Ironflame Village Regional Channel Announcement: Congratulations! The Ancient Siege Monster Leader, the Frost Dragon King, has been defeated by the Third Generation Pirate King, Sherry!
They've issued an announcement; they've won!

Da Chun immediately switched to the larger size.

Eileen cheered wildly, "We won! To prevent others from joining the battle and sharing our training experience, the Dragon King engaged the pirate ship in a point-to-point battle underwater. Now, apart from Sherry, we've gained most of the training experience. Our Guardian God's strength has leaped forward, and we can now see the situation on the front lines!"

The magic mirror's perspective shifted, and sure enough, it switched to the cockpit of the pirate ship.

Lia looked exhausted: "That was close! Welcome to our new companion."

A white ball called out, "I'm on board! Can we go now?"

Is this the Frost Dragon Soul?

Da Chun was overjoyed and couldn't wait to shout, "Retreat!"

The next moment, the cockpit began to become transparent and blurred, and the surrounding scenery once again turned into a void, and the pirate ship began to fly through the void.

Eileen laughed and said, "We didn't expect the Dragon King to use such a direct method. The Nightmare Sorcerer we arranged was not even needed."

The fake Tifa retorted irritably, "What do you mean 'none of them were used'? I was the one directing them to fire! I'm a master mechanic!"
