In a blink of an eye, Lavada arrived behind Gibson and thrust her dagger at his shoulder.

Puch!

But soon, her expression turned to frown as her dagger sliced Gibson's shoulder.

"Why is there no blood coming out from the wounds?" She knitted her eyebrows. Soon, she also noticed there was no elemental energy that appeared around Gibson's body.

Why is he not using elemental energy? Is this some type of necromancy spell? An uneasy feeling arose in her heart.

Clang!

As she blocked another attack from Gibson, Lavada shouted towards Brink quickly.

"Dear! Something is wrong with him. He is not using any battle qi."

"I don't think he is still alive, Lavada. Just kill him." Nelson glanced back towards their fight and shouted while shaking his head.

"Nelson, Watch your tongue. If you say any other word, I will slit your throat." She angrily roared in reply and once again directly moved towards Gibson then instantly knocked him on the ground.

Thud!

As Gibson tried to get up from the ground, Lavada tied him up using the ropes.

"It will do the work." She nodded with a worried look and shifted her gaze towards other pirates.

Meanwhile, Murius looked at the pirate groups and creased his brows.

I don't have that many high tier undead skeletons.

If I want to kill all of them, then I will have to drain their energy out first. Murius soon took out another hundred of elite skeletons from his spatial ring and started to cast magic. Like an army, all of them starting to rose and stood like soldiers waiting for further orders from the commander.

Murius gazed at them and let out a cold laugh.

In the yard, pirates who were above 3 rd tier started killing those skeletons while helping other normal pirates to escape. After an hour of battling, finally, the group managed to wipe out all those hundred undead skeletons completely.

Huff! Huff!

"Ugh, I didn't expect there would be this many casualties in this mission." Nelson panted heavily and grievously muttered.

"Don't worry, friend. Their sacrifices will not be in vain." Brink spoke while gritting his teeth and soon shifted his gaze towards that three-layered magic tower that was standing ahead of them.

A metallic door sealed the entrance of that tower and appeared locked from the inside. Brink quickly noticed his lover Lavada walked closer towards him while shaking her head helplessly. You could see the sorrow in her eyes.

"How is Gibson?"

"No physical response after I tied with those ropes. I-I also didn't sense his pulse."

"So, he really died, huh!" Anger swelled up from Brink's heart towards both that newly titled baron and this necromancer.

If he didn't send that letter, I wouldn't have come here with my crewmates. His heart ached whenever he looked at those corpses that laid on the ground ahead of him.

"Nelson! How many casualties?"

"Around 70 members. All of them were second-tier and first-tier warriors." Nelson spoke in a weary tone and suddenly shifted his head towards that entrance.

Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!

Footsteps? His eyes squinted sharper.

Creaaakkkk!

A loud metallic creaking sound came from inside and along with a clanging sound. The metallic door opened like an entrance to hell.

"H-Holy god of the sea!!" Lavada shouted with a trembling voice while others took a two-step backward. Like an army, another hundred of white undead skeletons marched from inside in unison. All of them wielded a sword, daggers, or spears in their hands and uniformly advanced towards their direction.

A trace of panic could appear on everyone's face, and the next instant, Brink shouted as he noticed others' inner feelings.

"Don't panic. Above third-tier warrior come with me. We will deal with these undead skeletons." He shifted his gaze towards Nelson, and both nodded their heads in understanding.

"From the early observation, I also saw these skeletons are not capable of using any elemental energy. Also, the fire appears to be dealing with more damages." Another lady who stood near to Nelson spoke and gripped her scimitar tightly. You could see intense energy started to form around her body, and her scimitar was covered in ice.

"Thanks for the information, Zita." Nelson nodded at her and bellowed.

"Attack!"

Another battle continued inside that yard while leaving no room for any pirates to rest even a little.

By the time the pirates finished killing those skeletons from the second waves of undead attacks, it was already around noon. The scorching sun also made all those pirates energy to drain.

"We survived!" A middle-aged pirate guy shouted with a happy face, and soon others followed.

Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!

Everyone's expression turned completely white as they heard another marching footsteps sound came from the entrance. You could see there were only five pirates who died in the second wave, but many of them were still bleeding due to multiple injuries.

"I don't want to die here!" A low mutter came from Zita as she saw the numbers.

"That Keith didn't say anything about a large undead army is inside this tower." Lavada stood with a grim expression and shouted furiously.

"Maybe even he didn't know about this necromancer's real strength." Brink threw a leather water bottle towards Lavada and shifted his gaze towards the wooden gate. He saw a total of 3 large knights like skeletons with black armor stood blocking others from walking near to that gate.

"Nelson, if things get messy, our only option is to kill those three knights and get out from here with the remaining peoples." Brink said with a solemn tone.

"What about killing that necromancer?" You could see a visible hatred and killing intent in Lavada's eyes as he glared at the hooded figure with a pale face walked out of that tower entrance.

"It's almost impossible, Lavada. We also don't know what he is still hiding." Nelson shook his head firmly.

"Captain, they are coming! Get ready." Zita urged Nelson to focus on the enemy and readied herself.

"Brink, you and Lavada handle those three undead knights. I and others will hold those remaining skeletons."

"Got it." Brink and Lavada nodded at each other, then dashed towards that wooden gate.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Without wasting any time, both of them attacked those three undead knights like mad guys. Brink directly blocked the attacks from those undead knights while Lavada started dealing more damages towards those bones. After a long struggle, both of them managed to kill one of the three of those undead knights and let out a sigh of relief.

But during those few minutes, a total massacre started happening in the yard. Panic cries, screams that mixed with anger and hatred towards that necromancer resounded inside that yard.

CREAAKKK! Bam!

Finally, after an hour of continuous struggle, both Brink and Lavada managed to open that wooden gate. Well, they tried to break that door countless times using their elemental attacks at first, but soon found some mystical letters appeared on that door and repaired them like nothing.

Finally, those mystical letters disappeared. Brink sighed in relief.

"Everyone! We opened the gate. Come on!" Lavada shouted towards other pirates and walked out of that gate while other pirates backed away towards that wooden gate. But the price they paid in this battle was a lot more than they had expected. In the battle against that third wave of undead skeletons, almost 50 to 60 pirates died while all of those remaining pirates were exhausted thoroughly.

"Captain! Let's go." Zita and another lady grabbed Nelson, who almost looked like there was no color on his face and backed away.

You could see multiple wounds all over his body, and half of his right ear was nowhere to be seen. The scarlet blood dripped down from his ear and almost covered the right side of his body.

"huff, huff, 'Cough!' Zita, Did you count how many members of our crew died?" He asked in a pained expression.

"Don't worry, captain. Except, John, no one died." You could see a relaxing sound came out from his mouth and slowly closed his eyes.

"Captain!!" White-haired women with pale skin grabbed him with both of her arms and cried out in panic.

"Don't worry, Ursula, he is unconscious due to exhaustion. Let's get the hell out from here." Zita grabbed Nelson's left arm, and both dashed towards the exit while dragging him.

In a few seconds, the remaining pirates around 80 peoples exited that fort wall and walked out with a relieved sigh. Soon, they noticed Brink and Lavada froze as they saw their ships, which stood near to the shore.

"What happened, Captain Brink?" Rowley, who somehow managed to grab Gibson's body on his shoulder, walked near to Brink and asked with a startled tone.

"Where did those 20 members who stayed outside to guard the ships went?" Lavada asked them while glancing around the surroundings. But they only found trees, vines, and white sand everywhere.

"Let's go. We don't have time to look for others." Rowley stepped forward to go, but Brink stopped him. He didn't feel that it would be possible for those members to go roaming without his order.

Another trap? Brink's eyes suddenly caught shadowy figures behind those trees.

Those pirates knew the seriousness of this mission and also aware of the consequences of breaking his orders. Although he did manage to stop Rowley from entering into the trap dug by the enemy, he could be able to stop the other pirates.

The pirates came out from the fort were utterly exhausted, so when finally saw their ship, their footsteps subconsciously advanced towards those ships. They excitedly ran towards the ships in the beach sand while shouting.

"No! Don't go. Stop!" Brink and Lavada shouted, but their voices mingled with others excited shouts and didn't able to reach anyone's ears.

The excited pirate group just moved one hundred meters towards their ships, but soon, thew saw the lean pirate who ran up ahead suddenly fall down.

Thud!

The front row tried to stop their foot, but those who ran from behind pushed them harder and completely crushed that lean guy under their feet. Only Brink and other elite members from those two famous pirate groups managed to see what had happened. They saw an arrow came from the woods and directly entered that lean pirate's neck from the left side and came out from the other side.

"Shit! It's useless to warn them now. Let's go." Brink muttered in a cold tone, and instantly, they walked behind that group.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh.

A large number of iron arrows flew from those left side trees and poured on those pirate groups like rainfall.

Thud! Thud. Thud!

One by one, pirates started to fall down.

"Worms. You want to escape after you attacked my tower." A chilling sound came from the woods, and soon, a hooded figure walked out while glaring at those pirates who were already plunged by countless arrows.

Stab! Stab!

Murius simply walked forward while stabbed every pirates' vital spots who laid on the white sand then killed them one by one.

"Don't kill them!" Finally, Brink couldn't endure watching those scenes and shouted towards Murius with bloodshot eyes.

"Humph, If that's the case, then you shouldn't have come to my place, mortal!" He roared back at Brink and the leading group, who were now running towards Murius direction.

"I-I agree it was our mistake to invade your tower. So please have mercy." Brink almost prostrated himself on the ground while other pirates from Nelson's groups also lowered their heads.

"Even if you begged while licking my feet, I will not spare anyone of your lives."

"Bastard! You really are a cruel person!" Lavada gritted her teeth and shouted in rage. At the same time, a black smoke crept from the woods at a fast pace and entered inside her body before anyone could notice.

Snort!

"Watch your words when you are talking to your elders, girl. I will kill every one of you in a blink." When hearing that, Lavada's emotions almost reached its peak, and soon, she gave a wicked smile and spoke with a ridiculing tone.

"You can try. But if you do that, then you will not be going to save that girl from being ravaged by your trusted bandits." Her word made Murius expression to frown while Brink tried to cover her mouth from not speaking. Now, her tone was filled with madness and dark emotions.
