Above Pirate King - Chapter 144
Vorde Kingdom
The Royal Palace.
“What!!!”
An angry voice echoed in the hall.
The one who uttered it was a sturdy man sitting on the throne made of animal bones and tiger skin in the center of the hall.
The man was 2.3 meters tall, wearing silver armor, with a fierce countenance, a scar on his right eye, and a wild curly long hair.
Next to his throne was also a steel spear.
This man was none other than the king of Vorde Kingdom, Vorde Mack.
“Your Majesty, when we arrived, everyone had already been killed. We carefully inspected the scene and found traces of about ten enemies, and the footprints were deep, likely from strong adult men.”
“Moreover, after killing, they should have gone towards the port. I speculate that they might be planning to escape through the harbor! I have already sent my men to pursue them,” reported a burly man in armor, kneeling below the throne, respectfully.
Mack took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, “Chase them! Kaiser, take a hundred Golden Tiger Knights to pursue them!”
“Your Majesty, they are just a little over ten people, and I have over a hundred men under my command. Moreover, we have already sealed off the port. I don’t think it’s necessary to deploy the Golden Tiger Knights,” Kaiser frowned.
“Go!” Mack roared in anger.
“Yes!” Kaiser trembled in fear, not daring to question any further, and left with the command.
———-
On the other side.
Yusuke led the sisters Hathaway and Vivian towards the direction of the port.
“Over there!”
“Chase them!”
“Don’t let them escape!”
“I see their tracks!”
A large group of pursuers swiftly moved through the rainforest, gradually closing in on Yusuke and his companions.
Most of them held various cold weapons, with only a small number carrying firearms and other hot weapons.
Of course, the reason for using cold weapons wasn’t that Vorde Kingdom was poor; on the contrary, it was a relatively wealthy kingdom. The reason for the cold weapons was that most of Vorde Kingdom’s territory was dense rainforest, teeming with wild beasts.
In such an environment, cold weapons were to some extent more effective than firearms!
After all, against the powerful wild beasts in this world, shooting a gun might not necessarily kill them; at most, it could only wound them.
Upon hearing the approaching sounds from behind, Hathaway and Vivian’s expressions immediately changed.
However, Yusuke remained calm.
“Snap!”
With a snap of his fingers, one determined-looking man in the group nodded and stopped, leaving the formation. Eleven others followed suit.
Yusuke continued to escort Hathaway and Vivian towards the port with his three subordinates.
“Second, you and Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth, set up traps and snares. Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth, go create some distractions. Don’t let them arrive here so quickly!” the burly man issued the orders.
“Yes, boss!” the named individuals responded in unison, then left the group. Soon, only the three of them remained.
“Eleventh, Twelfth, keep a watch around us, don’t let any wild beasts approach!” the leader surveyed the surroundings and issued another command.
“Yes!” the two black-clad individuals who were named nodded and left the group.
In the rainforest, the four black-clad individuals who had left the group cautiously lurked near the pursuing group, aiming their guns.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Ah—”
“There are enemies!”
“Ambush!”
“Be careful!”
With four screams, four of the pursuers fell to the ground. The hundreds of pursuers immediately stopped, raising their weapons and becoming vigilant.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Gunfire rang out again.
But this time, the shooters had changed their positions completely.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!”
“There they are!”
“Up there!”
“Chase them!”
The pursuers had learned their lesson this time and immediately fired back when they saw the enemies.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Chop! Chop! Chop!”
Arrows and bullets hit the trees where the black-clad individuals were hiding.
Although the four attackers were not injured, they were still frightened. After exchanging glances, they nodded to each other.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Gunshots rang out again, but this time, the black-clad individuals fired and then immediately retreated, paying no attention to whether they hit or not.
After a few back-and-forths and several minutes of delay, the four black-clad individuals felt it was enough. They exchanged another glance, then turned and left deliberately making some noise so that the pursuers would discover them.
“Over there!”
“Damn, chase them!”
“Get them, kill them!”
A group of furious pursuers rushed after them.
After being played back and forth several times, their anger was now uncontrollable.
Soon, the four black-clad individuals led the pursuers to the place where they had set up traps and snares earlier.
And at this moment, the black-clad men who had set up traps and snares were already gathered around their leader.
Upon seeing them approaching, the leader nodded and gave the command, “Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
All eleven of them responded in unison.
The black-clad leader quickly left the scene, and the eleven black-clad men followed suit.
Shortly after they left, the pursuers arrived at the location.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
What awaited these pursuers were explosions.
The hundreds of pursuers ran into an area filled with traps and snares, and after a series of explosions, only less than thirty of them remained, most of whom were severely injured, lying on the ground moaning in pain.
“Ahhh!”
“Help!”
“Save me!”
“Careful, explosives!”
On the other side.
As Yusuke and the others continued escorting Hathaway and Vivian towards the port, they heard footsteps approaching from behind.
Before Hathaway and Vivian could react, a group of black-clad individuals had already come up to them.
The newcomers were none other than the black-clad leader and his subordinates.
“Boss, the situation has been temporarily resolved!” the black-clad leader respectfully said to Yusuke.
“Good, excellent!” Yusuke’s lips curled up slightly as he nodded, seemingly unsurprised.
Hathaway and Vivian, on the other hand, were shocked and couldn’t believe what was happening.
“Let’s keep going!”
Yusuke said and continued escorting the two sisters away. As he walked, he took out a communication device and made a call.
“Purupuru!”
The call connected.
“Hello!”
“I’m almost there, you can start!”
Yusuke only said that one sentence before immediately hanging up.
Shortly after they left, Kaiser arrived with the Golden Tiger Knights at the location where the pursuers had been ambushed.
“Roar!”
Accompanied by roars, giant golden tigers, each about five meters in size, leaped out of the rainforest with agile movements, each carrying a sturdy soldier on its back.
These were the unique forces of Vorde Kingdom, the Golden Tiger Knights.
“What the hell is going on?” Kaiser looked at the scene in front of him with rage.
He originally thought that his men could easily deal with the enemy, but what he saw now was this chaotic scene.
“Lord Kaiser, we were ambushed. Our brothers have been blown into this state!” one of the pursuers lying on the ground with injuries managed to say with difficulty.
“Damn it! A bunch of fools!” Kaiser cursed angrily, “More than a hundred of you chasing a little over ten people, and you get blown up like this? What the hell are you guys eating? A bunch of useless idiots!”
“Sir, we…” the pursuer wanted to explain, but Kaiser didn’t give him a chance.
“Chase them! The port has been sealed off long ago, they can’t escape. I will catch them and kill them!” Kaiser exclaimed in anger.
Afterwards, Kaiser didn’t care about his men anymore. He led the hundred Golden Tiger Knights and rushed towards the port.
