"I remember."
Coles answered quickly.
But Kahn did not hear it, because his injuries were too severe. It was his limit to hold on until now, and his consciousness had already fallen into a coma.
Coles immediately went to the patrol ship to get the medical kit, then quickly returned to the ghost ship and began to stop the bleeding and provide first aid to the major.
This course was taught in the first month's naval general knowledge class. Coles studied it carefully and it now came in handy.
In addition to the huge and hideous knife wound, the major had more than twenty extremely serious knife wounds on his body.
Unimaginable.
How did Major Kahn manage to hold on despite these injuries? Coles almost had a frown on his face as he treated and sutured the wounds.
Ten minutes later.
The wounds on Major Kahn's body had been sutured, and the knife wound that he blocked for Coles took nearly ten minutes to suture.
After temporarily stabilizing the major's injuries, Coles slowly let go of his worries.
Then, he began to observe his surroundings vigilantly to avoid any new situations.
However, with the defeat of "Lanros" controlled by the demon sword, there was no longer any danger on the ghost ship, and the entire ship was silent.
There was only the sound of the remnants of Lanros' armor burning in the blue flames.
etc…
Coles turned his head suddenly.
He looked at the remains of Lanros' armor with a hint of surprise in his eyes, because he actually sensed some undead power in Lanros' body.
And this means that he can summon the dead Lanros.
You know, Lanros is a swordsman-level warrior, and his fighting power is rarely matched in the East China Sea today. If he can be summoned...
After canceling the summons of a shadow soldier, Coles slowly walked to the armor that was still burning with blue flames and issued a summoning command.
“Stand up!”
A shadow surged over the remains of armor, but before it could form into a shadow soldier, it returned to calm.
Coles couldn't help but feel puzzled. He had successfully summoned a Shadow Knight with precise swordsmanship level once before, so why couldn't he summon it this time
Will the difficulty of summoning higher-level shadow soldiers also increase
Or is it that it has been too long
Coles tried to summon again:
“Stand up!”
Shadows gathered on Lanros's silver armor, but still failed to successfully form shadow soldiers.
The power of the dead is clearly still there, so why can't it be summoned successfully
Coles couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He kept looking at the remains of the armor of the Grand Knight Commander in front of him, looking for problems.
Then, he glanced at the demon sword Hongyue next to him, whose light had dimmed, and a thought suddenly flashed through his thoughtless mind.
Coles tried to summon again.
"What's the point of sinking into eternal darkness of pain? Why don't you come and protect me?"
“Stand up!”
As the words fell, shadows began to surge on the remains of armor. The movement was so loud that it eventually formed a knight in black armor and a cloak.
And this knight is Lanros!
Lanros took a step forward slowly, then knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully:
"Follow the call of the 'King'!"
"Grand Knight Commander Lanros greets you!"
…
"king?"
"Why do you call me 'King'?"
After hearing Lanlos's words, Coles was only slightly surprised, because he had already guessed that high-level shadow soldiers should have this peculiarity, but the title of "king" made him extremely confused.
Lanros knelt on one knee and answered respectfully: "Reporting to the King, this is a prompt from instinct!"
Is it instinct
Coles fell into thought.
The shadow soldiers he summoned were absolutely loyal to him. If it was an instinctive reaction, then the title of king was indeed appropriate.
But in this pirate world, he is indeed a little sensitive to the word "king".
"I understand. You can get up." After thinking it over, Coles accepted the title.
"Yes." Lanluos stood up.
"You should still retain your previous memories, right?" Coles asked.
Lanros nodded and said, "Yes, my king. I remember my memories of my life very clearly. Thank you for summoning me and allowing me and my men to regain consciousness."
After confirming that the high-level shadow soldiers had memories, Coles asked another question: "Lanlos, why did this ship become a ghost ship?"
Lanlos recalled the memories in his mind and began to narrate in a voice full of vicissitudes.
"I used to be the Grand Knight Commander of Silver Moon, Lanluos, and I was also the sinner of the entire Silver Moon Nation."
“Because my willpower was not strong enough, I failed to resist the temptation of the demon sword, and eventually, under the control of murderous intent, I slaughtered the entire royal city.
After the incident in the Royal City, I and other knights woke up from our confused consciousness. After learning that we were the ones who destroyed the country, we were so angry that we even wanted to commit suicide on the spot...
But we still have an unfinished mission. On the night of the pirate attack, the king asked the prince and some of the people to flee. We need to find them and ask for forgiveness and atonement.
After six difficult months, we finally found the surviving people of the Silver Moon Kingdom. They built a huge ship, which is the current one.
The chief priest led us on board and showed us the murals carved on the deck of the ship, which were carved to keep the people informed of history.
Coles quickly digested this information, and his previous doubts were also resolved one after another.
“The surviving people of Silver Moon Country have the same opinion about us. They believe that we are guilty and cannot accept sinners like us who destroyed the country.
The other knights and I asked for atonement, even if it cost us our lives, because this is the loyalty of a knight.
Finally, the people decided to burn us to commemorate the innocent citizens who died.
We have no complaints about this.
This is what we sinful people deserve to endure, and it is also our relief.
But I didn’t expect that on the day of the Fire Festival, which was a full-moon night, the power of the demon sword once again bewitched me, and I and the other knights fell out of control again…”
Coles was silent.
The Grand Knight and other knights were controlled, and there was no doubt that all the survivors on the ship did not survive.
Lanros continued to narrate.
"My mind could see the killing this time. I wanted to stop it but was powerless. The feeling of killing the people I wanted to protect still torments me!"
"In the end, everyone on the ship was killed by me and other knights. Only the high priest survived to the end. Before he died, he cast his last spell, or curse...
He cursed me and the other knights to never be reincarnated. Our souls will always wander on this ship, suffering from countless regrets..."
After Coles listened.
Finally, we know how the ghost ship was formed. It turns out that this is the sequel to the story of the demon sword.
Lanros knelt on one knee again: "Thank you, King, for calling us, the dead knights, to break free from this endless bondage!"
The other twelve Shadow Knights also knelt on one knee as a gesture of thanks.
Although they cannot speak, their consciousness still exists, otherwise they would not be able to execute orders.
Coles patted Lanros on the shoulder. He could feel the sadness of the Grand Knight Commander and the other twelve knights.
"A hundred years have passed, and your suffering is over. From now on, just stand up and protect me!"
Lanros bowed his head and said: "I am willing to serve the king with all my heart and soul, until my death!"
The other Shadow Knights also performed ancient chivalric etiquette to express their complete loyalty.
At this moment, Coles' consciousness shook again, and his spirit and willpower reached the extreme. After all, the Shadow Knight had been broken too many times before.
No ongoing summoning.
Coles took back his ability, and Lanlos and the surrounding shadow knights merged into the shadows.
Click!
Suddenly, a slight sound was heard on the ghost ship, which was the sound of wood breaking.
What's going on
Coles couldn't help but look at it in confusion, and saw an exaggerated horizontal crack beginning to appear on the hull.
In just a short moment, the entire ghost ship was cracked with a ten-centimeter gap!
At this speed, in a few dozen breaths, the entire ghost ship will be completely separated and eventually fall into the sea.
Coles's face changed.
He suddenly thought of the various blows in the previous fight between Major Kahn and Lanlos. The scattered sword energy blows during the battle must have cut off the important support of the ship.
The ship is about to sink, we must leave quickly!
Coles immediately carried Kahn on his back, picked up the famous sword and the demon sword on the deck with both hands, and hurried back to the bow deck of the patrol ship.
When the ghost ship is about to collapse.
Coles managed to return to the deck of the patrol ship with Major Kahn.
Looking back, the entire ghost ship made various creaking sounds of broken wood, and finally lost its balance and sank completely in the sea.
Looking at the ghost ship sinking into the sea.
Coles couldn't help but sigh. It was a pity that time was too urgent and he couldn't bring out the treasures on the ghost ship.
That is a huge treasure!
However, Coles only sighed for a few seconds, after all, he was not interested in money.
