Chapter 141 - Pirate Fleet in the Yellow Sea (3) (1/2)
Whenever Sungwoo interrogated the kidnapped pirates, he asked what their leader’s skill was, but they came up with various answers, and all of them were just ridiculous.
Among the replies they gave were something like this.
“He is great! If you want to talk about him, kill me instead!”
“Shut up! Talk about him? I can’t! Rather kill me!”
Until just a moment prior, they shuddered in fear and answered without any resistance, but they refused to testify as if they were programmed.
In Sungwoo’s mind, they didn’t reply like that because they were loyal.
Obviously, they had been brainwashed.
‘Every time I looked at the fragments of their memories, an unidentifiable entity appeared.’
There always appeared a certain character that emitted light. At a glance, the man was making a speech to low-level players in nasty clothes.
‘And I remember the guy telling them that those players with level 5 or below should stay.’
Just like Sungwoo recalled, the man used a spell only after moving those players of level 5 or higher to another location. Based on the man’s behavior pattern, Sungwoo wondered if this guy had the skills to brainwash low-level players.
After catching the captain, Sungwoo could confirm the identity of this self-illuminating person through the captain’s memory.
He was a man in a red silk robe, the head of the pirate group who called himself Gen. Chongong.
After hearing Sungwoo’s explanation, Hanho said, touching his chin, “Well, low-level people are following this guy? Did he compare them to the uprising of the peasants in the past? If that’s the case, that famous Chinese strategist, Yubi, was also called a superstar among the peasants.”
“Anyway, that doesn’t matter. Don’t get distracted because you have found something that’s familiar to you.
“Man, I almost made it…”
“Hey, just pack your luggage.”
Sungwoo’s party was preparing to go to Kyodong Island. As he promised Junghoon, he intended to stop the Chinese players without the support of the allied forces.
Of course, Jisu and Hanho moved with him as one team.
A few hours later, they were prepared for a flight to Kyodong Island. Heyon and Gust, who would escort them, were also ready to go.
“Oh, I would like to get on a helicopter…”
Hanho sighed, standing in front of a Bone Wyvern that spread her wings widely.
Since yesterday, Sungwoo’s means of transportation had changed dramatically.
Ordinary men would not even want to imagine flying on such an ugly monster.
“Really? We’re riding on this to fly there? I think it’s going to be very interesting.”
Saying so, she skillfully got on the back of Bone Wyvern.
“Jisu, you’re formerly an athletic person, so you might enjoy extreme sports like this, but I value my life the most.”
Meanwhile, Junghoon and Minhum came out to see them off after they heard Sungwoo’s party would leave for Kyodong Island.
“Sungwoo, I heard you are going to Kyodong Island.”
“Yes. We were about to start.”
Nodding at him, Junghonn stared at Bone Wyvern waiting on one side of the road.
Bone Wyvern was a monster that he couldn’t even dare to deal with until yesterday.
Now, he served as the Necromancer’s means of transportation.
Jeonghoon turned his head and looked at Sungwoo.
“Since the enemies were defeated by us, they will not dare to approach us recklessly, but we should be prepared well before they attack again. Hope we’re in your good hands.”
Junghoon reached out and Sungwoo took his hand.
“Of course. However, the Evolutionary Society guys could move if they know that I have left for Kyodong Island. So, make sure our movement is not leaked to them.”
“I will deploy as many men as possible to stay alert.”
The forces called the “Evolution Society” were still unknown. Not only their strongholds, but even the size of their forces were unknown, but they were by no means a small group.
