Chapter 389 - Ruler of The Three Sea (1/2)

Arendelle was now peaceful, but Soran’s war was not over because he had to teach Prince Hans a painful lesson.

Otherwise, Prince Hans would threaten the west coast. Soran did not want to see another threat. As long as Prince Hans’ fleet was wiped out, it would be almost impossible for him to threaten Soran’s rule of the west coast in a short time. It took time, energy, and wealth to build a fleet. Soran could only relax after crippling the navy of the southern islands. Then, his pirate leaders would be able to control the trade routes.

South coast – Outer islands.

South coast – Eastern continent.

South coast – Arendelle.

When these three lines were connected together, Soran’s power would spread all over the three seas, and his wealth would increase at an amazing rate. It may even exceed the total tax of a kingdom. At that time, there would be many things that could be done. Soran would have all the financial, material, and human resources in place. The network connected by three routes would be a C-shaped encirclement, and he would be able to forge ahead with his desired goal at any time. At that time, Adele Isabella, the female pirate with red hair, would have a role to play.

The Dark Tide channel was a special sea route because it was the boundary between the Dark Tide Kou Tao and humans. The sea creatures had their own territory. There were vast and incomparable boundaries in the sea. Marine intelligent species had their own independent territory, and they would not be stupid enough to include the vast sea in their sphere of influence, but they would never allow other creatures to enter their territory easily. Therefore, it was not easy to enter some places in the sea, especially large-scale fleets.

The Dark Tide channel was a dividing point. The deviant, Kou Tao, had established their own kingdom under the sea. They had magnificent cities and palaces. Just like other deviant creatures underwater, they live a life almost isolated from the world. Marine species rarely communicated with humans. In fact, with the protection of the Goddess of the Sea, it was difficult for Soran to have too many interactions with the Naga Siren people.

Even the Ogres were more friendly than them! (Just send some meat as a gift.)

The ghost ship got close to the area.

On the side of the channel, there were already packed pirate ships: some of which were large warships and small ships. The narrow and long terrain of the channel allowed the small ships to fight flexibly and facilitate the boarding of pirates. Almost half of the pirate leaders under Soran’s command came, but they were not led by the half-elf first mate; instead, they were led by the red-haired female pirate Adele Isabella.

Soran roughly guessed this but did not care about it.

Although Soran set out late from Arendelle, he first arrived at the Dark Tide channel. With the appearance of the ghost ship, the pirates immediately felt excited.

This was the power of a leader!

Since Soran’s rise on the south coast, he had never been defeated. So, the pirates under his command were confident in the battle.

Victories built morale.

Some may like to use inspiring words to boost morale, but Soran believed in the courage that victory brought to them.

Words were empty to him.

“Your Excellency!”

The red-haired female pirates, One-Eyed Jack, Scarface, Giant, and other pirate leaders gathered. They knelt down to Soran on one knee and bowed their heads and said, “They are all ready to fight.”

As Soran’s territory got larger and larger, his status was different. Although he was still the pirate king, some people thought that he had almost established a pirate kingdom.

Pirates were thought to be chaotic, but he established the order of pirates, though it was accumulated by blood and killing.

However, order was order after all, and order would make rules.

Rules of the pirates.

After Soran had beaten the navy of the southern island country by himself, some of his subordinates even proposed to re-establish the legendary pirate code. As the ruler of the south coast, the Beheader, the owner of Mordor, the protector of the Sea Goddess, and the guardian of Arendelle, Soran should rewrite the pirate code, so as to base his position among the pirates.

The king of three seas!

Soran’s pirate leaders thought that he was qualified to be the pirate king who ruled the south sea, west coast, and north coast. As Soran’s right-hand assistant, their status should be further improved.

“Prepare for battle!”

Soran’s figure soared. He used Fly to look down at sea from a high altitude. Then, he easily found the enemy approaching in the distance.

The enemy was entering the mouth of the channel. Prince Hans never dreamed that pirates on the south coast would ambush him here. For a long time, pirates dared not fight with the regular army. Soran would be the only one who led pirates to confront the royal navy. This was not a personal vendetta between pirate kings. Once the war started, it would be equivalent to declaring war with a kingdom. But Soran now had such a base and strength because he was the real king of the sea!

BOOM!

Cannons were firing.

When the enemy appeared in their sight, the pirate ship immediately began to attack. It was full of pirates waving weapons and shouting. They threw their hooks and locked on when they were close to the enemy’s warship.
