Fear is that simple.
Anyone has the desire to survive. If there is no possibility of defeating the enemy and no hope of escape, they will be destroyed by fear in just a few minutes. Surrender in the war of hope of victory. Sauron's strength had already made them fearful. He killed twenty or thirty people in just a few minutes, and even their leader, the narwhal, was killed. Below the pirate ship are wandering killer whales. They jumped into the sea to flee and ended up just feeding the whales.
Fear not only stems from killing, but also from fear of the unknown!
These pirates don't know how strong Sauron is, how many means he has, and who he is. They almost don't know anything about the existence in front of them, they just know that he treats them like ants when he slaughters them. generally. The other party is a terrifying existence who is used to killing. This kind of person can harvest life without even blinking an eye. Even if he wanted to, he could kill everyone on this ship with a smile on his face, as easy as wiping off a little dust.
"Come on!"
"Kill them all! The narwhal is dead!"
The warships in the back gradually approached, and there were thugs who were motivated by the rewards, but when they approached, the battle was basically over. Sauron's thin figure stood at the bow, covered in a dark red cloak, gently wiping the blood on the scimitar. In front of him was a large group of enemies throwing down their weapons and kneeling. This scene shocked everyone else, even Adele looked unbelievable, because it only took about ten minutes from the beginning to the present.
She boosted the morale of the group of miscellaneous people, and then gradually approached with a boat, and then the battle here was over.
"Fill those guys from the sea."
There were still pirates begging for mercy in the sea. Sauron did not let the dominant orca kill him. Adele began to order the others to drop the cables, while she stared at Sauron in amazement. This man was stronger than she imagined. is even stronger. Others came to the ship one after another, and some of them seemed to have unclean hands and feet, because someone was blocking the front, so he sneaked down and searched for the corpses, and then he took out a money bag, intending to put it on while others didn't find it. into your own pocket.
Sauron's face was a little gloomy, and his eyes could not help but narrow slightly.
"Step aside!"
He suddenly yelled, which made the other people around him tremble with fear, and even Adele couldn't help taking two steps back.
Sauron picked up a short spear and threw it directly at the sneaky guy.
boom!
Blood splattered.
The guy was directly nailed to the deck by the short spear, because it only penetrated the abdomen, and he didn't die for a while.
Sauron walked over with a gloomy expression, then took out a money bag from his pocket, looked at the other people with murderous eyes, and they couldn't help but tremble slightly, then retreated, and then said in a deep voice: " All the trophies must be collected together, and then you will be given the rewards you deserve after the battle! For this sneaky behavior, there is only one end!"
Sauron didn't show any mercy, he didn't listen to that guy's pleading at all, and cut off his head with a knife.
Blood spurted.
The severed head gurgled and rolled out, scaring the others back again and again.
Then Sauron looked down at everyone in front of him, and growled: "I don't care who you are! I don't care what your rules were before! Now you are my subordinates, you must act according to my rules! I don't care. I will be stingy with the rewards you deserve, but if anyone dares to disobey my order, I will give him unimaginable punishment!"
Sauron casually threw the money bag to the half-elf vice-captain beside him, and at the same time said in a deep voice, "Let them clean up the battlefield and give them 50% of the spoils! We will attack Viper Island later, and anyone who dare not fight You slaughtered all the guys and fed them to the fish!"
There seemed to be a hint of excitement in the half-elf deputy captain's eyes, he nodded silently, and then began to assign people to clean up the spoils.
This is the real big man who can rise among the pirates on the south coast!
Although he admitted that Adele's strength is not weak, but in terms of acting style, he is not as cold and domineering as the gentleman in front of him. He could even feel that the lord in front of him didn't just want such a little thing. He might become a pirate king, and might even surpass the three legendary pirate kings.
"Surrender to me. Be loyal to me."
Sauron walked up to a bearded pirate kneeling on the deck, and said in a cold voice, "Serve me, and I will give you the reward you deserve."
Hesitation, silence, panic.
The bearded pirate kneeling in front of Sauron seemed to hesitate for a moment. Although he had surrendered and given up resistance, he hadn't thought of turning to the enemy so soon.
Pirates also have pirate rules.
Just a moment ago, they drew their swords at each other, but now they are going to take refuge in the opponent's hands
He visibly hesitated.
It's a pity that Sauron was not interested in waiting for him to figure it out. A cold knife light slashed across, and then a head fell to the ground, and large streams of blood poured out and sprinkled on the deck. He didn't even look at the corpse, and then he walked up to the second person, and said in a deep voice, "Surrender to me and be loyal to me."
He didn't bother to say anything later.
That guy seemed a little scared, a bloody head fell to the ground, and a lot of blood was sprayed on his body.
It seemed that he hadn't fully reacted for a while.
thump!
Sauron's patience seemed to be very limited at this moment, a knife light appeared in his hand again, and then the second head fell to the ground.
The headless corpse fell on the deck, and the smell of blood was already very strong.
"Surrender to me!"
Sauron's words became less and less, and the expression on his face became more and more cold, as if he was a terrifying demon god, who might kill everyone on this ship at any time.
"I!... I am willing to serve Your Excellency!..."
The third pirate finally became much smarter. He almost shouted out stammeringly, and then his whole body was covered in cold sweat. It was only about ten seconds before and after. The first one was because he was hesitant and his head was cut off, and the second one was because he was too slow to react. How dare he think about anything now? Choose allegiance without hesitation. He could even be sure that if he was too slow to answer for a few seconds, the other party would cut off his head in an instant.
"very good."
A smile finally appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth, and he walked directly in front of the fourth person.
The next thing is much easier.
Sauron only gave each of them three seconds to answer. As long as he didn't hear the answer he wanted, it would be a ruthless sword. It only took him a total of three minutes to turn all the captives into his subordinates. As for the others, they had turned into corpses and thrown them into the sea. Maybe these people don't have much loyalty at all, but Sauron doesn't care too much, because he doesn't need the loyalty of these people now, as long as they know what fear and awe are.
"The original people will be handed over to the deputy captain, and these guys will be led by you."
Sauron glanced at Adele in front of him, the other party's eyes shone slightly, and those eyes seemed to be a little fanatical, and there seemed to be a trace of inexplicable emotion in his eyes. This group of pirates who surrendered are stronger, and Adele must be persuaded by herself. Sauron doesn't intend to waste too much time on the pirates. He just needs to let these pirates know that there is a person like him standing behind Adele. His presence would be terrified on the line.
This is the simplest and most effective management method in a short period of time!
"Give them weapons!"
Sauron glanced at the others indifferently, and said in a deep voice, "The other half of the spoils will also be rewarded to them. Let's go directly to take the Viper Island."
After finishing speaking, he came to the half-elf chief mate, stared at him and said, "What's your name?"
The half-elf first mate's expression was a little excited, with fear and enthusiasm, and whispered: "Your Excellency!... My name is Kasa!..."
"Very good." Sauron nodded lightly and said, "Kasa. From now on, you will be in command of this ship."
"Go to Viper Island!"
The pirates on the ship started to act in a panic, and the loot they had collected was sent down directly. Sauron didn't give them any time to think about it. Adele turned the narwhal's body over, took the tungsten steel armor and other things on his body, handed it to Sauron with a respectful expression, and said, "Your Excellency, this is the narwhal's body." stuff, some of which are useful."
Sauron glanced at it for a while.
The items on the narwhal are good, but the most valuable is the tungsten steel armor. This half armor can almost be exchanged for a manor, but it is a pity that Sauron cannot wear armor. In order to maintain flexibility, the rogue wears leather armor at most. Wearing this kind of tungsten steel armor will only affect his fighting and spellcasting. Since he got the stone skin, he doesn't even wear leather armor much. He glanced at Adele in front of him, reached out to take the dimensional bag, and then said in a deep voice, "You wear this armor, count the other things, and see if there is any cargo in the cabin!"
"Yes." Adele bowed and nodded.
This series of thunderous tactics not only shocked the pirates, but also made the original crew and Adele gradually learn to respect and obey.
Sauron glanced at the others, and then lightly jumped onto the huge killer whale.
He stretched out his hand to caress the giant beast, and then poured a bottle of healing potion into its mouth. This sea creature seems to have a certain amount of wisdom. It was hit by a crossbow javelin in the battle just now, which made it need to be healed. . Sauron didn't want to see it bleed to death like this, maybe there will be a place for it in the future.
Sauron's time is still very tight.
His plan was to help Adele rise on the South Coast in seven days, so he had to step up his pace.
The next target is Viper Island!
