Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 243 Wave after wave

A tropical island, most of it is covered with palm trees, other tropical plants and bare rocks, with a drizzle from time to time. The further south you go, the higher the terrain is, and all kinds of monsters live there, providing a natural protection for the pirates living on the island.

This is Moon Bay. In the crescent-shaped island depression is the Pirate City, a notorious criminal paradise and an extremely dangerous place where drunken pirates gather to cause trouble every hour, and fights and duels are commonplace.

The narrow and winding streets were full of taverns, and at this moment, there were bursts of noisy laughter, singing, and the clinking of glasses. It was on the second floor of a relatively quiet tavern, and two pirates who looked obviously not simple were meeting.

If Leon were here, he would definitely recognize who the pirate in the captain's hat is. It was the undead admiral who once visited him on the volcanic island and gave him a golden cat with rubies as eyes, wanting to work with him to take over Watchport.

The undead admiral was called Carstein. As an undead, he did not need food or drink. The reason why he appeared in the tavern was mainly because the man sitting opposite him said, "Admiral Haken, you should have heard about it."

Haken was a half-giant, a mix of human and giant, over three meters tall. He ate the food with relish until he swallowed an octopus tentacle as thick as a bucket and said, "What are you talking about?"

"It's about the red dragon in Watch Harbor." Castain rested his left hand on the table, holding his chin and looking at the turbid sea. "I used to think he was very powerful. Rumor has it that he was chasing a mature red dragon around in the Lost Plateau..."

"I don't know if what happened in the Lost Plateau is true or not." Castain said, looking away from the sea, looking at Haken who had finished eating the octopus tentacles and turned to challenge the giant crab claws, "But I can guarantee that what happened on the Gilded Coast is true."

"Many people saw it. The red dragon went to the elven city to cause trouble, but was shot down from the sky by the elven general, who seemed to be called Elan. It returned to the volcanic island in a panic." Castain continued, turning the ring on his index finger. "So far, it has not taken revenge on the elves for a month."

"Is a red dragon so cowardly?" Haken put down his huge crab claws.

"He is just that cowardly. I didn't expect him to be so cowardly." As an undead, Castain couldn't make any expression. "I remember that I visited him on behalf of Moon Bay. He acted very arrogant and domineering... Is he a coward?"

Haken said, "I heard that he is actually a teenage red dragon, but he is just a bit bigger... If he is a teenage red dragon, how can he be... It shouldn't be possible. If the things he did in the Lost Plateau were fake, it is impossible that no one has exposed it until now."

"Who knows?" Carstein shrugged. "I only know that after a good red dragon was beaten by an elf, it didn't dare to retaliate for a month... Even if it couldn't take down an elf city, it could attack a few elf villages and say a few harsh words. How could it hide on a volcanic island and not move?"

"So?" Haken licked the sauce on his lips and squinted at Castain. "You want to do something, attack Volcano Island or Watch Harbor?"

"Forget it, forget it. I don't have the ability to attack those two places. At most..." Carstein sneered, "I was scared by him at that time. I thought he was so powerful."

"With that level, the level of being shot down from the sky by an arrow, why does he forbid us to attack merchant ships in the waters near Watch Harbor..." Carstein pulled his captain's hat, "Why does he forbid us to attack ships going to and from Watch Harbor."

"I heard something interesting...that red dragon isn't as weak as you thought." Haken finished the last bit of food on the huge plate in front of him and grabbed the beer glass and drank it all.

Haken finished his beer, wiped his mouth with his big hand, and said, "The elven general used dragon-killing arrows."

"Are dragon-killing arrows very powerful and rare?" Carstein bit his finger. "I remember that guy, Mark, he had several of them, for fighting bronze dragons."

Bronze dragons have a strong sense of justice and do not tolerate cruelty or anarchy in any form, and for this reason many pirates have encountered swift punishment from bronze dragons.

In order to avoid being unable to fight against bronze dragons, wealthy and capable pirates often prepare dragon-killing arrows to deal with bronze dragons, or even kill them.

As for why it is dragon-slaying arrows instead of bronze dragon-slaying arrows, unless you have the ability to make them yourself or have them customized, it is difficult to buy arrows that are targeted at specific dragons on the market.

"I also know what you are talking about... I have channels, and I also know that the red dragon has a piece of dragon armor." Castain said, "Those elves stripped off the dragon armor of the red dragon. As long as the dragon armor is stripped off, the red dragon will be a chicken." "Do you have the ability to strip off the red dragon's dragon armor?" Haken moved his neck.

"I don't have any ability." Carstein smiled a little creepy, "But the elves have helped us take off the dragon armor."

Haken laughed and said, "You can give it a try. Attack merchant ships and provoke red dragons... I don't know what you, an undead creature, would want to do with so much money."

“No one hates money,” Castaing said.

……

……

It was a dark and windy night.

On the calm, shining sea, a merchant ship was sailing slowly, its sails fluttering in the sea breeze.

The captain of the merchant ship was a half-elf with dark vision. He was standing at the bow and looking at the endless sea.

It will take another day to reach Watch Harbor, and then we can rest for a few days.

Watch Harbor... It is difficult to describe the feeling. Merchant ships actually have to rely on a red dragon that occupies Watch Harbor for protection. A red dragon will actually protect merchant ships, although there is a prerequisite that the merchant ships are located in the waters near Watch Harbor and the merchant ships travel to Watch Harbor to do business.

No matter what, as long as the goods can be safely delivered to the destination, it doesn't matter whether it relies on a red dragon or a bronze dragon.

The captain was daydreaming when he suddenly saw a pirate ship coming out of the darkness.

The merchant ship is now located in the Shining Sea, not far from Watch Harbor. At the same time, the merchant ship belongs to the Golden Shore Chamber of Commerce. The pirates should not dare to attack it when it travels to and from Watch Harbor. They should just take a look and stay away instead of sailing closer.

There was no point in thinking so much. The pirate ship had just appeared, and the most urgent task was to repel the pirates. The half-elf captain immediately sounded the alarm, reminding the crew to pick up their weapons and stand on the deck in preparation.

The merchant ships were not well armed, but the pirate ships had plenty of cannons, but they did not dare to use them indiscriminately, otherwise they would sink the merchant ships and where would they find the spoils.

The pirate ship's choice is to approach the merchant ship, throw out a grappling hook, hook the merchant ship firmly, and then the pirates launch a boarding battle.

Compared with the guards on the merchant ships, the pirates were obviously better trained and more numerous. With their rich experience in naval battles, they quickly gained the upper hand.

Not surprisingly, despite the merchant ship's crew's best efforts, they were still no match for the brutal pirates.

The pirates quickly took control of the entire merchant ship and began to rob property on a large scale. They soon looted everything, took the cargo back to the pirate ship, and disappeared into the vast ocean.
