They don't want me to try anymore.

"Have they not left the city yet?"

"Not yet, Captain..."

"Damn it, what's so great about visiting this tiny country? Why are we lingering here for so long!"

In a black hotel near a plantation on the Connaught border.

Richard's beloved Captain Joseph was hiding here with his crew of pirates.

Disguised as merchants, they waited day after day for news, planning to ambush and kill the Crown Prince and Princess of the Kingdom of Segar on their return journey—just as Richard had experienced in the simulation.

However, now that more than half a month has passed, Joseph has discovered that his target has not moved an inch.

What's going on? Even if it's a ball during the day and a sex party at night, shouldn't you be tired of it by now?

You can't really treat Connaught as your own home, can you?

His patience was almost gone.

Nearly a month of onshore missions should theoretically warrant extra pay!

"captain!"

That evening, just as Joseph was itching to enter the city and wreak havoc, several crew members excitedly ran over and said, "The company's spies have sent word that the Sega people will head south tomorrow, and the Connaughts will escort them to the outskirts of the city before returning..."

"finally……"

At noon the next day.

The pirates of the Evil Winds lay in ambush on the only road from Connaught to Segar.

As three carriages slowly approached in the distance, Joseph first checked the flags, then made sure that the prince who had caused him some trouble a few days ago was not among the guards, and grinned.

"It's time for you to work for Death, my men!"

"fire!"

boom!

As a pirate, Joseph had no interest in playing the "I planted this tree" bandit trick. He simply ordered his men to fire a few shots with the small cannons he had taken from the bow of the ship, smashing the carriages in front and behind to pieces, before personally leading his men to charge forward.

after that……

Things went incredibly smoothly.

Click.

Joseph beheaded Ram with an axe, glanced around at the corpses of the guards scattered on the ground, and at the wailing princess, and spat:

"That's it? It's much simpler than I expected."

The disheveled pirate next to him quickly hid a gold ring and said with a forced smile, "How capable can someone from such a remote place be? Of course, I can't compare to you, Captain..."

“But it shouldn’t be.”

Joseph ignored his men's flattery and turned to stare at the wounds on the corpse.

"Bronze-level guards certainly can't stop cannonballs, but these few... they didn't even seem to dodge. They're far too weak..."

"That makes sense! We are very sorry that our oversight affected your experience as a highway robber."

"Who?!"

Joseph turned around abruptly and saw that the speaker was none other than Princess Jocelyn, who was kneeling on the ground wiping away her tears.

"You woman..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he noticed that Jocelyn's skin tone had changed as tears streamed down her face.

Instinctively, his hand reached for the axe...

"Sexy, Rise, Mom, fuck!"

In a flash, a corpse on the ground suddenly stood up and reached out to grab Joseph's shoulders.

As the latter swung his axe behind him, Jocelyn, who was originally facing him, dropped his disguise, drew his silver sword, and unleashed a series of fiery blades at the pirates.

Richard was the one who took action.

From Veronica, he learned the location of the Evil Wind Pirates' hideout, as well as their planned time and strategy for attacking.

However, he did not arrange for anyone to wipe out the pirates.

After all, Connaught doesn't have many men, and these pirates are cautious and careful. There must be tons of hidden sentries around their hideout. What if they fail if they act rashly?

Instead of trying to encircle and suppress them ourselves, we should let them take the initiative to come out!

So he immediately extended a warm invitation to the Rams to spend a few days in Connaught. They admired him greatly and were naturally flattered and readily agreed, then followed Richard around all day.

This has led Princess Jocelyn to begin to question her husband's sexuality.

In short, Richard used this method to keep delaying, making preparations while wearing down the patience of the Badwind Pirates.

Finally, he assembled a whole team of disguised puppets to impersonate the people of the Kingdom of Segar, and then induced a spy to spread false information, attracting the impatient pirates to come forward.

And then came this scene...

Roar!

Richard wielded his sword and slew two pirates beside him. Behind him, Big Black led the dragonflies to dominate the sky, and at least fifty elemental creatures surrounded both sides of the road. The battle maid Katyusha also held up her shield, loyally guarding behind him.

This is a full-scale deployment of summoners.

"Damn it, the company's informants are so unreliable..."

Although Joseph may seem like a rough warrior, he is not stupid. After the Empire's Easter competition, he knows very well what kind of strength Richard possesses.

Now that he no longer has a pirate ship to rely on, and has fallen right into the enemy's ambush, so...

"Men, retreat!"

He rolled away from the dragon flames, instantly equipped his iron feather wings, and then, without caring whether his subordinates had escaped or not, flew off towards the north.

This speed is like taking two laxatives after eating an Indian snack – so fast!

"Decisive enough, no wonder he's a pirate."

Richard blinked and immediately ordered his ordinary summoned creatures to cooperate with Katyusha in annihilating the lower-level pirates, while he himself climbed onto Big Black's back and chased after Joseph.

"That damn prince is still chasing me? How sweet!"

"Hahaha, you think we'd let you go?"

Richard held the Ghostly Spike high, casting whatever spells he knew, like a nouveau riche entering a restaurant and pointing at the menu, saying he wanted to try everything.

First came a series of fireballs, then wind, ice, and lightning, followed by some kind of slowing light mental attack, and finally, earth elementals were thrown at Joseph's head like rocks.

Even with Joseph's exceptional strength and experience, his speed slowed down in the face of the dense attacks from behind, and his stamina was greatly depleted.

But he didn't give up.

He was gambling that Richard's magic wouldn't withstand such a large drain.

To be honest, a Silver-tier summoner who is maintaining a bunch of summons from a distance on the other side of the road and is now riding a dragon and setting off fireworks can only last for a few minutes at most, right?

I know you have a lot of magic, but don't go too far!

Once your magic is gone, I won't even think about running away, I might not even...

We can turn the tables!

Ha, since that's how it is, I'll let you be arrogant for a while...

"what?"

Just as Joseph was lost in his reverie, he suddenly saw a large tree in front of him with a flag hanging on it bearing a large letter.

"Joseph died under this tree? What the hell!"

"I find it strange too, but since Your Highness says so, I can only go along with it."

"...Who is it this time?!"

puff!

"Long time no see~"

From the shadows of the leaves, a spear of blood suddenly shot out, scraping against the handle of Joseph's axe with a piercing sound before piercing his shoulder.

"what!"

Seeing that Veronica, who had been lying in ambush, had succeeded in her attack, Richard also commanded Big Black to knock Joseph's iron wing off course with a claw, followed by a burst of dragon flame from above!

"You think you can run away!"

After Longlong finished his combo, Richard jumped into the air and summoned ten earth elementals in succession. He did nothing but smash them down!

"Eat my road roller!"

Chapter 118 Why is this enemy so skilled with all sorts of tactics? (Physical)

The thumping sound echoed through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Joseph was pinned down by a group of earth elemental giants weighing over 200 pounds each. He couldn't even turn over, let alone flap his crooked iron wings. His face turned purplish-red, and he was having difficulty breathing.

But Richard had no intention of stopping.
