Chapter 145:

Chapter 145:

I pledge my utmost devotion.

Drake bowed his head, pledging his allegiance to Otto.

It was an awkward stance.

At one time hed aimed for the Navy, but being the son of a pirate forced him to be one, and thus uneducated in the ways of etiquette.

But the raw sincerity oozing out of him covered the awkwardness.

*Shiiing!*

Camille pulled out his sword and offered it respectfully to Otto.

*Tap*

Otto tapped Drakes shoulder and head lightly with his sword and spoke.

I accept you as a vassal, and grant you the title of Count and the rank of Grand Admiral of the Navy.

I am honored. Your Majesty

Rise.

Otto helped Drake to his feet.

[Alert: You have succeeded in recruiting Francis Drake!]

[Alert: Drakes potential has been weakened!]

[Alert: Drakes scenario has been destroyed!]

A hazy string of notifications flickered in and out of existence.

I hope this eases your mind a little.

At the very least, its not tormenting me. I cant live and breathe with the same air as my familys enemies. I am satisfied with this.

Very well then.

Of course, even if he succeeded in his revenge, the dead family members would not return.

But with Avery dead, the anger and hatred that had been burning inside of him would gradually dissipate.

Youve been injured. Get some medical attention.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Drake stepped toward the medical bay.

Were not quite done yet. I need you all to stay strong until weve wiped out the last of the remnants and captured all the pirate ships.

Yes, Your Majesty!

The battle was far from over.

While almost all of the pirates had surrendered, there were a few ships that refused to submit and put up a last stand.

*Splash!*

Otto boarded the [Red Goddess] and pursued the pirate ships as they either resisted or fled.

Along the way.

Huh?

Ottos eyes rounded as he saw a familiar figure fighting on top of one of the pirate ships.

Qasim?

Qasim was on the deck, slaughtering pirates.

Why are you out there?

*Zing!*

*Ziiiinnng!*

Qasim whirled around five cubes, unleashing a barrage of lasers.

That wasnt all.

Gwik! Gwick! Gwiiikkkk!!

Next to him, a giant Penguin was spewing cold air from its mouth, freezing the pirates to death.

Huh? Isnt that a Peng?

Otto immediately identified the penguin.

It was a strange sight.

Why would Qasim, who had been tasked with dropping off the pirates captives at the nearest harbor, be here on [Skull Island]?

And with a Tundrian Peng from the northern polar region?

Qasim!!

Otto called out to Qasim.

*Zwiinggg!!*

Kaaaargh!

Qasim didnt hear Ottos shout as he was busy crushing the second in command of the Sea Serpent Pirates with his whirling cubes.

QASIM!!!

Aah!? Your Majesty!

Qasims eyes widened as he finally heard Ottos voice.

*Whoosh!*

Qasim rotated the cubes under his feet and floated over to the [Red Goddess].

*Flap!* *Flap!* Flap!*

The Peng also flapped its cute, tiny wings, displaying its ability to hop from ship to ship.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com, Chief of the Air Force, greets your majesty.

Qasim dropped to one knee and bowed to Otto.

Guick! Guic to see you! Gwick!

The Peng also greeted Otto.

Why are you here?

Oddly enough, Peng wasnt a character that gamers choose to play.

It was a way to meet and form friendships with outsiders(gamers)who happened to stumble into Tundria, and work through hardships and adversity together.

Pleased to meet you. My name is Otto de Scuderia, King of the Kingdom of Lota.

Otto stretched his arms out behind him like folded wings as he greeted Peng.

Guic?!

Peng was surprised when Otto greeted him in the traditional Peng manner.

He hadnt expected a continental person to know Peng etiquette.

Gui. Guick. Guick. Chirp. Guk. Guiiiikk, chirp, chirp, chirp. Gui. Guic. Guuk. Guik. Guik. is. Guik. Its Peng, My name is Peng in the Continental Style! Nice to meet you! Guic!

Yeah, me too.

Otto grabbed Pengs outstretched wings.

What kind of human are you?

You can communicate with a penguin like this?

The people around him were stunned in amazement.

The Pengs are a race that few people ever see in their lifetime.

If the ability to communicate and exchange greetings skillfully with such beings isnt fascinating, then wouldnt that be even stranger?

But it wasnt just Otto who surprised everyone.

Guick Gui Guk. Guiic Guuck Gui.

(Nice to meet you. My name is Elise.)

Elise greeted Peng in their native language.

Guic?!

Peng exclaimed in surprise.

Gui Guik Guic Guuiiick Gui gui GguiIck?!

(Do you really know the language of the Peng people, Guic?!)

Gu Guiick Guiick G Guuk.

(I learned it during my time on the other side of the Wall.)

Elise spoke fluently, even the difficult tones (), and communicated with Peng without discomfort.

This is happening?!

Even Otto was surprised by Elises fluency.

What the hell.

Camille, who had been watching the scene, exhaled heavily in bewilderment.

But one thing was certain.

Neither Otto nor Elise would ever be considered a normal human.

Afterwards, Otto led his entire fleet to the [Gurling Archipelago].

They won a great naval victory.

Pirate Lord Avery was slain.

All thats left is to take control of the strategically important [Gurling Archipelago].

This isnt the direction of the [Gurling Archipelago].

Drake frowned as Otto directed the fleet in the wrong direction.

Uh. No.

Isnt our top priority right now to secure the [Gurling Archipelago]?

Thats right.

Then why arent we heading to the [Gurling Archipelago].

How do we breach through there?

Thats.

Ottos question left Drake speechless.

The [Gurling Archipelago] is a natural fortress, where even a small force can stop a large army.

No matter how large the [Black Fleet] was, if they were to blindly attack the [Gurling Archipelago], they would literally be sunk with a gurl.

It would be suicidal to break through the defense line of the [Gurling Archipelago]. Of course, with our current capabilities, we might be able to break through, but then wed incur some damage.

Its impossible to win a battle without taking damage.

What if there is a way?

What do you mean?

We dont have to spill blood.

With that, Otto continued to lead the fleet in the wrong direction.

And then.

Huh? Wh-what?

Look, theres a big reef up ahead!

People screamed as Otto tried to steer the Fleet into the big reef.

What do you think youre doing!

Hey you lunatic, why would you want to commit a group suicide after we won a fierce battle already!

Camille and Kairos cursed, yet Otto didnt care.

Just then, the [Serpents Tongue], which was at the forefront of the fleet, collided with the reef.

*Swoosh!*

The [Serpents Tongue] emitted a green light.

*Whoooosh!*

Space and time warped in front of the reef, and the center of the [Gurling Archipelago] appeared before them.
