Chapter 265: The Great Saladin! Paladins and Slave Ships!
More than a month ago, Saladin and his pirates boarded the ship under a guise. The Black Sails knew the dangers of a sharpshooter duel, and then these Black Sails, believing that the situation was hopeless, became the first to surrender.

Afterwards, Saladin brought the Black Sails and recruited all the passengers to surrender, bringing the rebellious passengers under his command. These people did not care about Saladin's current power, but only cared about whether he could give them an identity so that they could survive.

Saladin granted them this status, and the traitorous passengers joined his army.

Today, everyone suddenly discovered that Saladin was a poor pirate with nothing and a new team among many three-headed snakes.

His only ship is the 'Black Coral' under his feet.

The Black Sails were naturally unwilling, but it was pointless because the traitorous passengers were supporting Saladin! Their numbers were even greater and their strength was even more terrifying.

Their interests are deeply intertwined with Saladin's. If the 'Black Coral' is taken back by the Black Sails, they will have to follow their boss and find another ship!

Therefore, they severely beat up the group of Black Sail Wizards who didn't understand the situation - facing the methods of this group of pure Eastern Territory Black Wizards, the Black Sail Wizards had no power to resist!

Then, the Black Sails also realized the situation - there was no doubt that Saladin was an extremely powerful three-headed snake!
He was indeed a small Karami more than a month ago, but now he has gathered a group of formidable traitor wizards from the East!
Moreover, he also owns the strongest and newest ship in the world - Black Coral!

Most of the Black Sails have chosen to surrender completely. They accepted their defeat wholeheartedly and believed that as long as they followed Saladin, he would give them more wealth. Becoming his subordinates would help them live better than before in the Black Sails.

But there are also many Black Sails who are unwilling to accept it and cannot get over it in their hearts.

——No wonder there are so many black-sail slaves on the ship!

These black-sail slaves will not live long. This ship has never seen blood, and the new subordinates have only seen Saladin's wisdom, but not his cruel and thundering methods.

He would use those slaves as an example to scare his men and let them see the consequences of going against him.

The slaves did not yet know that they were doomed, but even if they did, it would be useless.

After Saladin sacrifices them to the sea, he will pick out a bone that is neither soft nor hard but very meaty, and then lead his men to win a resounding victory, so that everyone can see the wealth and see what kind of future he will lead everyone to.

Where can I find such a good bone that is neither soft nor hard but very meaty?
It's easy to find - the remaining Black Sail forces are such a good bone!
And at present, only Saladin knows how weak the Black Sail Headquarters is.

Saladin has a group of powerful soldiers including the traitors from the East and the Black Sail wizards to help cover them. They will be able to take down the remaining Black Sails very easily!
From now on, the navy that the East Territory spent a full thirty years to build will completely disappear.

And Saladin, who swallows this navy, will become the strongest three-headed snake!

Such a sudden rise of power would certainly arouse the fear of many people, including many people within Hydra, and even Hydra's own Hydra.

Saladin will be suppressed.

But the church will secretly support him. After all, Hydra cannot dominate alone, and the more factions fight within it, the more beneficial it is to the church.

Roland shouted in his heart: "What fun! What fun!"

Old Biden, Old Biden, it's not unfair that I lost to you this time.
It's no wonder that a mere second-level wizard like Saladin would attract the attention of the Thousand-Eyed King. Once Saladin's strength reaches the third level, he will be a more formidable opponent than the Hydra.

After this incident, the probability of Saladin, the rising star, and Hydra, betraying the South will be greatly reduced. Because they are both spies of the Holy See, they will keep an eye on each other within Hydra.

Hydra will become more difficult to deal with and will become more powerful. On the other hand, the Eastern Territory has lost its most important naval talent - Black Sail is useless.

In the future, under the suppression of Hydra, the Eastern Territory will not only have no chance to develop its own navy, but the Thousand-Eyed King will also be unable to win over Hydra.

Roland sighed secretly. There were too many talented people in the South. Or, in other words, there were too many talented people like Saladin who defected from the East. They were too awesome.

Those who were able to crawl out from under the shadow of the Twilight Council and dared to challenge the Twilight Council were all top-notch bosses—even if their realm was very low, they were still remarkable figures!

Such a second-level wizard is an example - such a small person actually ruined the Thousand-Eyed King's big plan!

The Twilight Council's future plans for great voyages are likely to be aborted. The Twilight Council may have to change some of its strategies.

Roland shook his head and thought to himself, "I must have been mistaken. I'm overthinking it. There's no reason why Saladin should be my good father-in-law."

At this moment, Roland heard someone on the deck shouting the name "Laurence". He subconsciously looked over and saw his good father-in-law.

Roland was very afraid of this guy now, but he was also extremely angry.

Saladin kept saying that if he could play the role of 'Lorenz' well, he wouldn't have to go to the dairy farm.

But this old bastard had set himself an impossible condition - how could he possibly advance to the second level in just one month?!

"This old bastard is determined to send me to the slave ship. You win this round. Let's see what happens next!"
The Nagas led Roland over. Roland took a look at the four people on the bow of the ship - they were four second-level wizards.

Two of the second-level wizards were Roland's two cellmates—both of them were mid-level second-level wizards.

The two men were playing with a few dolls with a grin on their faces. The dolls were screaming for mercy. From the looks of it, one of them seemed to be the original captain of Black Sail.

There is a second-level wizard, Mary in human form.

The last second-level wizard looked to be in his fifties, with some wrinkles on his face, but one could still vaguely tell that he must have been a strong and handsome man in his youth.

He was wearing a tricorn hat and had a pair of exaggerated mustaches on his nose. He was sitting on a kneeling man with a big horse and a golden sword, pinching his mustache and looking over here with a smile.

Mary was standing behind him with a charming look on her face, pressing his shoulders.

Roland knew that the bearded pirate was his father-in-law, Saladin—his strength was only at the early second level.

Looking again, the person sitting under the mustache wizard's butt was actually a mid-level second-level wizard!
That mid-level second-level wizard seemed to be a three-headed hydra. Roland had never seen him before, but he thought he was the one in the Hydra group who was against Saladin.

No one knew what had happened during the fight, nor how many people the guy had brought with him. But he had obviously lost, and could only lie trembling like a dog under Saladin's butt, acting as a chair for him.

While he was thinking, the Nagas had already taken Roland over.

Saladin stroked his long mustache and said with a laugh, "My dear son-in-law, are you really not going to consider my previous proposal? How is my daughter any worse than Gawain's daughter?"

Roland bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency Saladin, first of all, I am not your son-in-law. Secondly, I have a family. Finally, don't think that just because you have a plundering license, you are a navy. Even if I didn't have a family, I would not associate with a group of notorious pirates like you!"

"Humph."

The smile on Saladin's face grew colder. He said, "I wish you a happy life as a slave for the rest of your life. The Secret Society of Illumination would appreciate a sacrifice like you."

The Secret Society of Illumination is by no means a benevolent organization. It is not a church or a religious order. It is a mysterious organization hidden in the Church of God in Heaven that believes in the devil.

Roland was taken away by the Nagas. Saladin looked at Roland's back with a look of interest and admiration.

Mary, who was standing by, suddenly asked in a low voice, "Master, do you really want to send Sir Lawrence on board?"

She could see that her master had begun to like this son-in-law.

Saladin did not answer his slave's question. He kissed the back of Mary's hand. Mary knew that she understood her master very well and knew that when he kissed the back of her hand, he wanted her to stop talking.

Saladin said to the second-level wizard beneath him, "Dagmar, have I paid enough for the human cargo I owed the group?"

The wizard, kneeling on the ground, looked up at the boat, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Enough, my lord! Enough, my lord Saladin, it's almost twice as much!
I will explain your achievements to the group and your sincerity to the 'Illuminated Secret Society'.

Compared to the original list, there are many more people now.

I believe that for those extra people, the 'Illuminati Secret Society' will pay an additional price. Not only that, they will also give you enough goodwill in return. I will personally deliver this goodwill to you later."

Saladin smiled, stood up and left with his men. He left behind a message: "Don't forget the slave ship I lent you, and the people I lent you."

Dagmar didn't dare to stand up until Saladin was far away.

He looked at Saladin's back, a hint of resentment in his eyes. That third-generation magic ship was originally his!

Those people under Saladin were originally supposed to be his!

Dagmar didn't dare to look at Saladin's back any longer as he boarded the ship with his men.

slave ship.
This slave ship couldn't be compared to the Black Coral. It reminded Roland of the slave merchant ships of the 19th century.

Roland followed the prisoners onto the ship one by one. On the deck, some Naga and three-headed snake wizards used high-pressure water jets to wash the passing prisoners one by one.

Roland ignored the high-pressure water jets washing over him and looked around the entire ship.

He realized that calling it a "slave ship" was a bit of an exaggeration, because it was actually very large.

Compared to the Black Coral, it was a bit old and had become a bit dilapidated due to the bad weather at sea, but it was still a standard three-masted warship!
Its mainmast is like a towering tree, and its foremast and mizzenmast also reach straight into the sky.

The three masts and the huge sails together looked like a huge tree canopy, and the sailors were like little monkeys, climbing and sliding on it.

This big ship can easily carry seven or eight hundred people!
The combined weight of more than two hundred prisoners is probably less than one percent of its water intake!

This is a standard behemoth, enough to scare most pirates and even the navies of many kingdoms.

Judging from the many runes and the huge fins that retract on both sides of the hull, this thing seems to be able to dive!

This should be the third generation magic battleship! Although it is not as good as the three-and-a-half generation 'three-headed sea snake type' magic battleship of the main force of the three-headed snake, it cannot compete with the fourth generation magic battleship such as the Black Coral in a sharpshooter duel.

But compared with other forces, or even with Triskel's ordinary troops, it is a terrifying sharpshooter.

With the addition of the Nagas escorting it, it can roam the sea.

It seems that my guess was correct. Saladin is indeed the favorite and confidant of the Hydra 'Hydra'!
As a new member, the Hydra Group tried its best to help him form an army.

You know, there are only a few Three-Headed Sea Serpents. Third-generation magic warships like these are mainstream, premium ships. Everyone usually fights for them.

But the Hydra Group has freed up such a ship, and judging from the marks on it, it was obviously taken from another Hydra.

I guess many people were jealous because of this.

Without the support of Lord Hydra, Saladin would definitely not have been able to obtain such a ship. It would be great if he could give him a few dozen men.

Saladin also seemed incredibly loyal. Judging from the events of the Black Coral, he was completely devoted to the public good. He stood firmly against the East and firmly with the South.

So, how could he be the Thousand Eyes King?

Roland wiped the water off his face and didn't want to think about it anymore.

No matter who he is, I must reverse the current situation.

Soon, Roland was stuffed into a large warehouse with a group of prisoners.

They had already entered the cabin, but he and the last few people were called over by the three-headed snake wizards.

Those three-headed snake wizards had a dozen large barrels with them, each filled with something like slop.

It turned out to be time for dinner. The three-headed snake wizards felt that the food in the cabin was smelly due to the large number of people, so they asked Roland and his group, the last people to board, to bring in food.

Although this ship was huge, more than 200 people was not a small number, and cramming them all into a large cargo hold was quite crowded. Naturally, the air quality was not very good.

There were some hammocks in the cabin, but only about twenty in total, and half of them were in tatters.

People say that when the number of men exceeds three, a boss and a military advisor will automatically be generated.

These two hundred or so prisoners have been gathered together for some time, and the leader among them has automatically emerged.

That was a blood witch.

Everyone was shackled, so it was impossible to see each other's magic power or strength. But her strength should be mid-level or late-level first-level. In any case, she was definitely not a second-level wizard, otherwise she would have been picked up by Saladin long ago.

Because besides a large group of withered blood wizards, there is also a group of tall and ferocious-looking withered blood knights - in this cabin, the physical cultivators are the strongest people!
Although these Withered Blood Knights were also suppressed by another type of shackles, their bodies were still strong. They had previously demonstrated their strength, with some of them being mid-first-order, and some even late-first-order.

Although the Dry Blood Clan was constantly being exploited by pure Twilight wizards and bullied by Black Abyss wizards in the Eastern Territory, their individual strength was still among the top five among the major sects in the Eastern Territory.

In the South, the Blood Wizard is a real evil demon, the darkest wizard among dark wizards.

So, although they have become stray dogs, they are not so easy to mess with.

In this cabin, the pure Twilight Wizards and the traitorous Black Abyss Wizards were all picked away by Saladin. Therefore, the Blood Wizards have become the real bosses here.

Moreover, their number is so large that they actually account for one-fifth of the total number of prisoners!

The bloody wizard and his many followers occupied the dozen or so hammocks, and the prisoners around them all stayed as far away from them as possible.

These two hundred prisoners had originally been imprisoned together and had all witnessed the horrific scenes of torture by the Bloody Wizards. They also knew that these wizards were physically very strong, and even in shackles, they were stronger than a great knight.

Many people have become dogs for the blood-stained wizards.

The blood-stained wizards were all sitting in hammocks, and those with higher status could sit below them.

Originally, the Dry Blood Wizards did not reveal their identities, and some knowledgeable prisoners only suspected that they were from the Dry Blood clan.

But now everyone can see who they are.

After they adjusted their positions, they began to search the cabin with their eyes with a smile. Soon, the leading female boss with dried blood stretched out her tasting finger and pointed at several male and female prisoners who still retained their innocence and had good looks.

Several prisoners who were called out thought they had been favored by the boss and hurriedly crawled over on their knees.

But when they knelt in a row, they saw the big guys showing their fangs.

The Eastern Territory wizards in the cabin all looked extremely unhappy when they saw this scene. Damn it, it really is these vampires. We are going to be blood bags on this journey!

The few people from the southern border were terrified. Aren't all the people on this ship wizards? How could there be a blood-sucking devil? Lord, forgive me!
Roland was among the last group to enter the slave ship and one of the last few to enter the cabin.

After coming in, he was slightly stunned when he saw the group of blood-stained wizards.

It’s really a narrow road between enemies.

When the blood-stained witch saw Sir Lawrence coming in, her eyes suddenly lit up, emitting a green light of desire.

This is the blood of a second-level paladin.

The purest and sweetest.

No, he was more than a second-rank paladin. Judging from Saladin's insistence on having this knight as his son-in-law, Lady Belinda strongly suspected that Sir Lawrence was an angel incarnated in a mortal form.

Well, forcing an angel to become his son-in-law and carrying on the family line was something only a wizard could do.

The probability of a Holy Son appearing among their offspring is extremely high. Even if it is not a Holy Son, it is still an excellent body for the angels and gods to descend.

Of course, the blood of angels is more valuable!
His blood is not just pure and sweet. Just smelling it can prolong your life!
