Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 97: Born to Serve, Died to Slave
Captain Drake jumped onto the side of the ship and stood firm. He was a strong man with a scimitar in his right hand. He had no left hand, instead of a curved silver hook that gleamed with cold light.

The man had a weather-beaten face and looked to be in his thirties. His dress was different from that of the people in the Empire. He wore a different style, like bell-bottom pants, with a wide crotch, short legs and large trouser legs. It was obvious that he lived by the sea.

In fact, these pirates who jumped onto the ship were dressed differently from the Imperials. They were not Imperials, but Laliers.

The Lalier people came from the peninsula south of the empire. The peninsula was home to a number of independent city-states, separated by a mountain range, and had developed a culture completely different from that of the imperial people.

The Lalier people live on a peninsula, living off the mountains and the sea. They have advanced navigation technology, so it is not surprising that they came to the New World.

In fact, Drake has been active along the coast of the empire for many years, looting passing ships. He has only recently arrived in the New World.

"I just want money. If you want to live, just hand it over honestly."

Drake spoke up. His knowledge of the Imperial Common Language was pretty good, after all, he had been dealing with the Imperials at sea.

"Barbarians from the southern peninsula?"

Karen was in a daze for a moment. No wonder he heard these people chattering all the time. It turned out that they were not imperial people and spoke another language.

Nearly three thousand years have passed, and the sea barbarians on the southern peninsula have now developed and look like decent human beings.

"Qiang!"

Drake slashed the silver hook with his knife, making a sharp sound.

"Don't talk nonsense, or I don't mind cutting off a few tongues."

Looking at Karen, Derek threatened.

After saying that, Drake jumped off the side of the ship and came in front of everyone.

The captain has a good appearance. Although he looks weathered and a little rough, he is quite manly and you can tell that he is handsome.

"I give you five seconds to put down your weapons and hand over all your belongings."

Pointing his scimitar at the crowd, Drake issued an ultimatum, and the pirates behind him roared together, applying pressure.

"."

Watching Drake's actions, the expression on Uther's face was very interesting. This pirate captain really didn't know how to write the word death.

Uther glanced at Karen secretly and found that the "Blood King" had no angry expression on his face and seemed quite calm.

"Buzz!"

Blood surged, and a silver wolf appeared in front of Karen. The silver wolf's pair of blood-red eyes stared at the Lariel pirate in front of it, and its fangs were extended.

This scene made Drake stand there in a daze. The expression on his face was very shocked, as if he had thought of something.

"Ouch!"

The silver wolf pounced out suddenly and knocked Captain Drake to the ground. The dazed Drake did not react at all.

Captain Drake is actually quite powerful. He is an outstanding warrior and ranger, and is extremely skilled in using a scimitar.

Along the coast of the empire, Drake has gained some fame, nicknamed "Silver Hook". Although he is still a long way from the legendary pirate kings, he is also a good rising star.

But when the silver wolf attacked him, he had no reaction. Although he was also from the "Silver" generation, his "Silver Hook" was obviously a little lacking.

The scene was a bit awkward for a moment, and the Lalier pirates were a little confused.

In contrast to the silent Lariel pirates, there was the reaction of the people of Wangbo Port.

"Long live Lord Karen!"

"Long live Lord Karen!" The eight soldiers and a dozen sailors on the boat were all excited and started cheering loudly. They were actually very nervous just now.

Being sandwiched between two pirate ships, and at least a hundred pirates jumping on them, anyone would be nervous.

Moreover, there were some sailors on the ship who lived along the coast of Magrath Province and had actually heard of the reputation of "Silver Hook" Drake.

If Karen hadn't been there, their fate would be self-evident. There was basically no chance of winning, and they had no confidence in Uther.

"Woo!"

The silver wolf suppressed Drake, roaring in its throat, and pressed its sharp fangs and teeth against Drake's face, ready to bite him at any time.

"captain!"

The Laliel pirates exclaimed in surprise, still finding it unbelievable that their powerful and cunning captain was killed in a single blow!
However, some of them reacted completely differently. They simply dropped their weapons and rushed forward to kneel before Karen.

“Born to serve, born to serve!”

These people knelt on the ground, shouting continuously. Their strange behavior once again stunned both sides of the confrontation.

At this time, Drake finally reacted. He looked excited and did not make any resistance. He also started shouting, repeating "Born to serve".

"."

This scene actually made Karen stunned for a moment, and then he instantly understood that these people kneeling in front of him, including Drake, should all be "abandoned people."

The silver wolf let go of Drake and returned to Karen's side. Drake, who was free again, stood up with a somersault and then knelt down in front of Karen very smoothly.

"Drake, servant of Werner Desolate, greets His Excellency!"

Drake knelt on the ground and spoke solemnly.

"Werner Desolation?"

Karen pondered for a moment, thinking, who is this?
"Lord Werner is the master of the Desolation and a necromancer."

Drake was smart enough to explain immediately; he understood immediately that Karen probably had never heard of Werner Desolate's name.

Desolation

Karen paused. To be honest, he still had no impression.

But he had a guess, a necromancer, a ship, and a group of vampire worshippers. If he was not mistaken, then the Desolation should have been a ship that originally belonged to the Imperial Navy.

So, what is the relationship between this Drake and the Desolation? And how did the Desolation survive to this day?

"Are you a member of the Desolation's crew?"

Karen had many questions in her mind, but she had to ask them one by one.

"My lord, there are no human crew members on the Desolation right now. Life is for service, death is for slavery. The Desolation only requires the dead to serve."

Drake knelt on the ground and answered respectfully.

He was not a member of the Desolation's crew, not yet, but he would be after his death. To serve in life, to be a slave in death, this was their fate.

They serve Werner Desolation in exchange for power, and the price is the sacrifice of their souls. When they die, their bodies will follow the ocean current to the Desolation and serve on that ship forever.

'A little trick of the Mith clan.'
Karen was certain that the Desolation was definitely related to the vampires. The necromancer used standard vampire magic, a trick developed by the Mith clan.

"Can we contact the Desolation?"

Karen asked Drake, the Desolation and the Necromancer both have extraordinary significance and should be taken back first. Moreover, maybe there are still surviving vampires on that ship?
