Alia’s voice was soft as she comforted the three guards, speaking for a while before finally convincing them.
Next, Alia selected ninety-eight people from the Rose Pirate Crew to follow her and Carlotta, making a total of one hundred.
The reason for this was that the Blaze Pirate Crew and the Silver Hook Pirate Crew had set a rule that each faction could send a maximum of one hundred people inside.
This rule was established to keep each other in check, and the other pirates will not openly break the rules set by these two major pirate Crews.
The one hundred mbers of the Rose Pirate Crew, under the watchful eyes of many, entered the King’s Ruins.
After passing through the bronze gate, Carlotta felt a wave of darkness envelop her, followed by a dizzying sensation that made it difficult to stand steady.
When she finally stabilized herself and looked around, she found herself alone in a dense forest, with no sign of Alia or any other mbers of the Rose Pirate Crew.
The forest was thick, and the distant roars of monsters echoed.
"No one told that we will be randomly assigned to different locations after entering."
Carlotta was a bit speechless.
She wasn’t worried about herself. Although she was only a sixth-tier apprentice, she could handle various problems at this stage.
She wasn’t worried about Alia either. While she was improving, Alia had also been advancing. If it weren’t for the fact that Alia had entered the King’s Ruins with her this ti, she would have suspected that Alia had already beco a Listener.
As for the other mbers of the Rose Pirate Crew... well, they would have to fend for themselves.
...
Not long after the Rose Pirate Crew entered the King’s Ruins.
The crowd of pirates waiting outside suddenly beca restless as another large pirate crew arrived at the entrance of the King’s Ruins.
Even the two captains of the Blaze Pirate Crew and the Deputy leader of the Silver Hook Pirate Crew, Demuless, looked extrely serious at the newcors.
It was the Soul Reaper Pirate Crew, and they were led by their leader, the Soul Reaper General herself!
Demuless frowned slightly, wondering why the Soul Reaper General dared to co to the island so boldly. Both the Blaze General and the Silver Hook General were afraid that Lionheart Island was a trap and didn’t dare to co.
Wasn’t the Soul Reaper General afraid of any accident?
Similar questions also arose in the minds of Red Fla and White Fla.
The Soul Reaper General looked calm and quickly assessed the situation before imdiately ordering her pirate crew to enter the King’s Ruins.
She didn’t follow the rule of sending only one hundred people in. Instead, she sent in all the apprentices under her command, at least a thousand people, and yet none of the surrounding pirates dared to say a word.
After everyone who needed to enter had gone in, the Soul Reaper General jumped around and suddenly laughed, "Demuless, Red Fla, White Fla, what do you think would happen if I killed you all here? Would those two generals co to settle the score with , or would they continue to hide outside the island?"
Hearing this, the Deputy leader of the Silver Hook Pirate Crew, Demuless, and the two captains of the Blaze Pirate Crew, Red Fla and White Fla, all changed their drastic expressions.
...
If possible, Carlotta would have preferred to finish reading the intelligence before entering the King’s Ruins, but it was still far from midnight, and she couldn’t convince Alia to stay outside. Moreover... staying outside might not be safe.
A group of pirates whose daily activities included burning, killing, and looting, gathered in large numbers, would they behave themselves?
Carlotta thought that there would likely be so trouble outside, but the three guards were highly skilled, so there was no need to worry about them getting into any trouble. As for the pirates, they would have to rely on themselves.
Without thinking further, Carlotta followed the roar of the monsters and soon saw two monsters engaged in combat.
One was a Frost Giant Ape, capable of releasing various frost attacks with a wave of its hand. A thick cold air spread around, freezing the leaves and grass on the ground.
The other was a Gaping Stone Monster, which looked like a rock but had many mouths. Its body was extrely hard and it would pounce to bite its target.
Carlotta glanced at them and then charged forward. Both monsters were at the seventh-tier apprentice stage, posing no threat to her.
As soon as she approached, the two monsters noticed her, but upon sensing the sixth-tier apprentice aura she emitted, they ignored her and continued their fight.
Carlotta was naturally pleased with this. She deliberately stirred her magic to release the sixth-tier apprentice aura to make the two monsters underestimate her.
When she got close enough, Carlotta pulled the Rose Cross from her necklace, leaped up, and with a flick of her wrist, conjured a flurry of sword that shadows enveloped both monsters.
Sixth Movent: Elven Blossoms!
As the sword shadows intertwined, both monsters were struck, leaving heavy wounds on their bodies. Blood splattered and rocks flew as they howled in pain, finally turning their attention to Carlotta and launching furious attacks.
Carlotta, facing both of them, remained unfazed and continued to fight, showcasing the exquisite skills of the Elven Knight Path. It didn’t take long before she had slain both monsters.
"The Frost Giant Ape’s fur can be used to make alchemical items, and its heart and blood can be used to make alchemical potions. Oh, its bones can also be used to make alchemical items. The Gaping Stone Monster is also full of valuable materials."
Carlotta quickly sorted through the two monsters’ bodies and stored them in her collection card.
In the Wendell Empire, because monsters had been almost completely eradicated, it was hard to find wild monsters, which made materials related to monsters extrely valuable. These were all treasures.
Carlotta continued to move through the dense forest.
The forest was vast and dark, with only occasional gaps in the branches allowing a ray of sunlight to filter through.
There wasn’t just sunlight here; there was also a deep blue sky. Carlotta thought it must be an illusion created by an alchemical array, not the real sky.
Suddenly, Carlotta stopped in her tracks.
When she reached a tree, she first used a Lightness Card on herself to make her body more agile, then climbed up the tree and peeked out from the canopy to look into the distance.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the distance, several trees had fallen, and faint shouts of battle could be heard.
Was there a fight over there?
Who was it?
After a mont of thought, Carlotta decided to go and take a look. What if she encountered Alia or soone from the Rose Pirate Crew?
She moved down from the tree and quickly through the forest. The thorns and bushes along the way posed no obstacle, and it didn’t take her long to reach the site of the battle.
However, by the ti she arrived, the fight was already over.
A group of pirates stood in a clearing in the forest, each holding weapons with blood still dripping from them.
There were more than thirty pirates in total, led by a young man.
On the ground lay more than a dozen people who had just been killed.
Carlotta felt that she had arrived at an inopportune mont. As soon as she appeared, the eyes of the group fell upon her.
"You are... Red Rose? The vice-captain of the Rose Pirate Crew, Red Rose?"
The young man recognized Carlotta.
Carlotta, who had initially intended to retreat, paused slightly upon hearing this and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man smiled and said, "My na is Benjamin Turner. We are all mbers of the Soul Reaper Pirate Crew."
Carlotta narrowed her eyes slightly.
Benjamin sat down on a large rock and ordered, "Red Rose, you’ve co at the right ti. Clean up the ss on the ground."
For such a sudden command, a question mark imdiately appeared over Carlotta’s head.
She stood still and asked, "Why should I clean it up?"
Benjamin replied, "Why? The Rose Pirate Crew will inevitably beco a subsidiary of our Soul Reaper Pirate Crew. In other words, you are our subordinate. Is it strange to ask you to do sothing? Or do you think the Rose Pirate Crew can avoid becoming a subsidiary?"
Hearing Benjamin’s words, the surrounding thirty or so pirates couldn’t help but laugh.
The long-standing dominance of the Soul Reaper Pirate Crew made them feel that many things should be taken for granted.
Carlotta said, "Let’s not even ntion that the Rose Pirate Crew hasn’t beco a subsidiary yet. Even if it did, as the vice-captain of the Rose Pirate Crew, when would I have to take orders from an ordinary mber of the Soul Reaper Pirate Crew? The status of a subsidiary pirate crew isn’t that low, is it?"
Benjamin couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Normally, the status of a subsidiary pirate crew isn’t low, but you... you’re only a sixth-tier apprentice."
The surrounding pirates burst into laughter once again.
When Carlotta had run over, her mana had been surging, so her tier was no secret.
To be honest, Benjamin couldn’t understand how a sixth-tier apprentice could beco the vice-captain of the Rose Pirate Crew. Was she a beneficiary of nepotism?
"Anyway, get to work quickly. Don’t make us unhappy."
Benjamin ordered.
Carlotta said indifferently, "The Rose Pirate Crew hasn’t beco a subsidiary yet. Your orders are a bit premature."
"So, you’re saying you don’t want to follow our orders?"
"Isn’t that obvious?"
"Do you know what the price for that will be?"
Benjamin’s face imdiately turned cold as he looked at Carlotta with a hostile gaze.
He said in a deep voice, "The Rose Pirate Crew must beco our dog, and so must you. If the dog is obedient, I’ll throw it a bone. If it’s not obedient, then it will be killed. As a pirate, don’t you understand this principle?"
As Benjamin finished speaking, the pirates of the Soul Reaper Pirate Crew spread out, surrounding Carlotta and staring at her like hungry wolves.
Carlotta’s anger surged within her, "If I didn’t know better, I’d think it was the Soul Reaper General herself speaking. When the Soul Reaper General ca to speak to us before, she wasn’t this arrogant. How dare a low-ranking mber like you act so self-important?"
Benjamin snorted, "There really are people who aren’t afraid of death. Forget it, I don’t want to waste any more words. Since you’re disobedient, I’ll just kill you directly. Do you really think you’re soone important? How dare you defy my orders?"
In fact, within the Soul Reaper Pirate Crew, he wasn’t exactly a low-ranking mber. He had a bit of background, which was why the thirty or so pirates present all followed his orders.
As Benjamin’s words fell, the surrounding pirates imdiately charged at Carlotta.
Carlotta’s eyes also turned cold.
Perhaps the Soul Reaper Pirate Crew had been too dominant on the Starlight Sea, making these guys accustod to bullying others, but she wouldn’t indulge them.
Her gaze swept over the thirty or so people. She didn’t know why the Soul Reaper Pirate Crew, which had arrived later, could gather so many people so quickly. Could it be that more than a hundred people had entered?
But now wasn’t the ti to think about such things.
Carlotta wasn’t soone who would take a loss. When the noble lady Soren had treated her life as worthless, she had racked her brains to kill her. Now, this group of pirates wanted to ride roughshod over her?
"Let send you on your way."
Carlotta swung her sword and charged forward.
There were thirty-three pirates from the Soul Reaper Pirate Crew here. The lowest-tier was a first-tier apprentice, while the highest-tier was a sixth-tier apprentice, the sa as Carlotta. There were three such sixth-tier apprentices.
To prevent these pirates from escaping, Carlotta first avoided these three and quickly struck, killing the other pirates one by one with her sword. Her movents were extrely fast, one sword strike for each, and in a short ti, she had killed more than a dozen people.
This enraged the three sixth-tier apprentices, who quickly scolded the others to step aside and prepared to deal with Carlotta themselves.
"Hurry up and finish off this woman. I don’t want to waste ti here."
Benjamin said impatiently.
However, the mont his words fell, his expression froze completely on his face as he looked ahead in disbelief.
Because just as the three sixth-tier apprentices charged at Carlotta, she countercharged, swinging her sword three tis, killing one with each strike, and without even stopping, she walked past the three and continued forward.
"How is this possible!"
Benjamin shouted in disbelief, followed by terror.
Because after killing the three, Carlotta rushed straight toward him, her montum fierce and her killing intent overwhelming.
He quickly turned and ran, calling for the surviving pirates to help hold off Carlotta.
However, pirates weren’t the type to risk their lives to protect Benjamin. Seeing Carlotta so ferocious and even Benjamin running away, they scattered as well.
No one could understand why, as a fellow sixth-tier apprentice, Carlotta could be so terrifyingly brutal.
It didn’t take long for Carlotta to catch up with Benjamin. Ignoring his mixed threats and pleas for rcy, she swung her sword and killed him.
Then she quickly turned around, chasing down the remaining mbers of the Soul Reaper Pirate Crew and killing them one by one.
She couldn’t leave even one person alive. If anyone leaked the news, it might bring her so trouble. So, she left no survivors.
She was like a forest Wraith, flitting about, killing all thirty-three people. After briefly collecting the spoils, she left the area.
For Carlotta, this was just a minor episode. She disappeared into the vast forest, continuing to explore this land.
