The level 90 quasi-legendary necromancer known as Rune listened to Druid's words and squinted at the empty sea in front of him.
Of course he couldn't see anything here, because they basically relied on the druid's crow to track the target outside the visual range.
In this case, have the targets actually discovered them?
Sure enough, as the Demon God said, this guy's investigative methods are really hard to guard against!
The gloomy look on Rune's face gradually became serious, and he turned to look at the Druid at the helm.
"Are you sure the target has still found us?
His ship is still far away from our preset ambush location, and if we attack in advance now, there will be many variables."
"I'm not entirely sure, but I'm at least 70-80% sure. A ship sailing smoothly on the sea is unlikely to suddenly slow down without any reason. Pulling up and retracting the sail is very troublesome.
It’s something.”
The druid nodded and expressed his judgment to the necromancer.
Although he is an evil bonder, he has spent a long time on a sea ship because of his family. Among this group of people, the druid can barely be regarded as an experienced navigator.
"Are you 70% or 80% sure..."
The Necromancer pondered for a while, then with a cold light in his eyes, he turned around and waved fiercely to the deck.
"Come my crew! Fill up the sails! Speed up! Let's go burn, kill and loot!!"
Following his movements, dozens of portals connected to the summon space opened throughout the ship, and a group of strangely dressed undead servants who looked nothing like serious skeletons poured out of the summon space.
Most of these skeletons were carrying scimitars commonly used by sailors, and they were all wearing tattered and dirty clothes stained with greasy stains. Some of them had pirate kerchiefs wrapped on their heads, and even had one eye hooded.
Wearing a black eye patch.
There are also skeletons with wooden prosthetic legs instead of broken legs and iron hooks instead of broken hands. The most outrageous thing is that among these skeletons there is a skeleton dog with half of its head missing...
These skeletons are obviously mutated, and they are the mutated skills that Rune accidentally acquired during a battle at sea.
That's right, he has a skill mutation, not a simple summons mutation. His "crew" are not afraid of death at all, because even if they are burned to ashes, Rune can use his skills again to transform them from a corpse to ashes.
Resurrected from a new body.
These mutated "pirate skeletons" are no different from ordinary skeletons when fighting on land, and they even occasionally fight with each other over grabbing jewelry and property.
But once at sea, especially on a ship, the combat effectiveness of these guys is terrifying. Not only will they cooperate with the navigator to drive the ship, but those "pirate skeleton mages" that are mutated from skeleton mages will also use a method that can make the ship move.
A spell that greatly increases speed.
In terms of combat, these pirate skeletons are extremely proficient in boarding battles and the surprise tactic of swinging onto the opponent's ship through sail ropes, and when it comes to the despicableness of combat, these skeletons are better than the living pirates.
Every pirate skeleton has some "magic weapon" hidden in his trouser pocket, pocket, under his dirty hat, or even in the handle of his knife.
These things may be a one-handed light crossbow that is loaded with poison, a set of explosive potions that use special means to enhance the firepower, or even a lethal weapon soaked with paralyzing toxins.
Blind fan!
And make no mistake, as a servant of a level 90 Necromancer, all the methods these guys have are 100% effective for professionals!
It was by relying on these "guys" that Rune earned himself the title of "Ghost Captain", and this was the main reason why Diavolo sent him to command this assassination.
However, every time these pirate servants are summoned, there is a price. As the "captain", Rune must take them on a hearty plunder every time he summons them, using enough gold, silver, jewelry or the blood of the enemy to plunder them.
Let them be satisfied, otherwise these lawless "pirates" may launch a "rebellion".
This is also the reason why Rune has never summoned his undead servants before.
But now that he has summoned all these "crew", it means that he has agreed with Druid's judgment and is ready to immediately launch an attack on Xue Hua's passenger ship.
"Raise our pirate flag! Hahahaha!!!"
Rune, who summoned the pirate skeleton, seemed to be a completely different person. He grabbed a sail rope and swung from the stern to the bow of the ship. Then he pulled out a scimitar from nowhere, with a wild expression on his face.
He stepped on the side of the boat with one foot and laughed crazily.
His behavior seemed to arouse the enthusiasm of the pirate skeletons. These guys suddenly became full of energy. Even the dog with half its head was flying around on the deck with a rope in its mouth.
.
The skeleton mages, wearing tattered robes covered with seaweed and holding short staffs that looked like dead men's arms in their hands, gathered under the main mast.
He pointed his staff toward the sail.
The originally white sail without any pattern suddenly turned into pure black, and there was also a typical pirate flag skull pattern on it.
At the same time, a strong wind blowing from nowhere suddenly hit the back of the sail hard. The speed of the entire ship suddenly increased, and it rocketed towards the Starfish like an arrow splitting the sea.
On the deck, the pirate skeletons made strange clicking noises while pushing all the empty boxes on the deck into the sea. Several other evil covenanters in the cabin also came out one after another when they felt the movement outside.
"What happened?! Why are we putting up the flag now?!"
One of the evil consorts asked loudly.
"It's not a good thing to know too much on a pirate ship! If you don't want to die, just shut your mouth and go back to the cabin!"
You bilge rat!”
Lu En, whose temperament changed drastically, mercilessly answered the question of the Evil Contractor.
"you!"
"Forget it, maybe something happened. Lord Lu En is not in a position to be reasonable now. Let's go back to the cabin."
The scolded Evil Contractor wanted to refute something with an angry look on his face, but his friend next to him stopped him.
"snort!"
Under the persuasion of his friends, and taking into account the gap in combat power between the two sides, the Evil Contractor finally retracted into the cabin.
Looking at their backs, Rune sneered, and then loudly gave orders to the druid who was nervously steering the ship due to the sudden increase in speed.
"Order all our ships and tell them that the plunder is ahead of schedule!" (To be continued)
