"so close!"
There was a little cold sweat in Steve's palms, only he himself knew how dangerous the moment was.
After regaining consciousness, he immediately looked ahead, where Leylin was holding a crossbow, and there was no regretful expression on his face.
Moreover, Isabelle had already pushed to his side, surrounded by Jacopo and other guards who rushed over in a hurry.
Due to Isabel's delay, Leylin's side had enough time to defeat the enemy, even the pirate ship was captured.
Now, it was Jacopo who brought the remaining guards and several crossbows treasured by the Faolan family to surround him.
On other battlefields, the guards of the Faolan family also had the upper hand, and more and more guards continued to gather.
Under the firelight, Steve's face was as pale as a dead man, and he knew very well that after this battle, the entire Black Tiger Pirates might be expelled.
"What's going on? Why did things become like this?"
There was some confusion in Steve's head, but the cunning fox-like mind he had learned over the years told him it was time to flee.
As long as he is still there, he can pull up the Black Tiger Pirates again.
At that time, he is bound to launch a crazy revenge on this young mage!
"shoot!"
But how could Leylin give him this chance? Under Leylin's order, several crossbows commanded by Jacopo immediately let out terrifying roars.
Several feather arrows directly blocked all the escape directions of Steve.
"Damn it!" Steve yelled, his figure turned strangely in mid-air, and a dark shield emerged out of thin air, colliding with the sharp bow and arrow.
Click! The dark shield of light shattered directly, but the crossbow also lost most of its strength, leaving only a not deep wound on the opponent.
bang bang!
Steve's body landed firmly on the ground, he glanced at Leylin with eyes full of resentment, and was about to rush out of the camp immediately.
As long as he goes outside, with his strength as a tenth-level fighter, he will be able to leave easily.
And at this time, a sudden change occurred! ! !
A huge white spider web suddenly opened from the ground, covering him in the shadows.
"No, when did he?" Steve's face was full of fear, and he directly recognized the origin of this spider web: "A second-level spider web technique, once I am entangled by it, I will become a target..."
The expression on Steve's face turned hard, and he raised the scimitar in his left hand.
But since Leylin had set up this trap long ago, how could he give him a chance to escape
[Weakening ray!][Hypnotism!][inhibition!]…
The light of several first-level spells shrouded directly above Steve's head. Due to the previous battle and huge consumption, Steve was unable to stop it in time.
Immediately, his head became dizzy, and his whole body was filled with a feeling of weakness.
bang! The scimitar fell directly to the ground, and immediately Steve's whole body was wrapped in the spider web technique, that kind of sticky spider web, even bulls couldn't escape.
"Aim, shoot and prepare! The opponent is always a tenth-level fighter, be careful!"
At this moment, the other guards holding crossbows calmly aimed at Steve. This kind of immovable target, as long as it is not a fool, basically cannot miss it.
"You are still thinking about escaping, because you still have the cards, right?"
Leylin came directly to the front of the spider web technique, and looked down at Steve with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
"Don't think that the [Vampire Touch] on your right hand can hide it from me? After all, I am a mage!"
When Leylin uttered these words, he could see that Steve's eyes were filled with fear and despair, as well as the last desperate struggle.
Leylin sneered, and quickly backed away, avoiding the blood light shot from the opponent's right hand.
"Be careful, the effect of [Vampire's Touch] is solidified on the iron hook of the opponent's right hand, don't let the opponent touch you, otherwise you will become his life force..."
Leylin looked at Steve with a sneer, making the other person's face turn pale: "You are a devil! A devil!!!"
This terrifying feeling that everything about him has been seen through made Steve feel a little groggy.
"Knock him out!"
Leylin frowned: "Afterwards, his hands and feet will be destroyed!"
Such a horrible injury, without the help of the senior priest, could almost declare the other party to be a useless person.
As for how to deal with the other party in the future, Leylin hadn't figured it out yet. As the vanguard of blocking the Faolan family this time, the other party must have had contact with that Viscount Diem, and he may be a good witness.
But who would believe what the pirates said? At most, it will bring a little public opinion trouble to Viscount Dim.
"His true value lies in the time when he has not handed over..."
Leylin looked at Steve who had been knocked unconscious and had his hands and feet broken. There was a deep light in his eyes. In his opinion, the other party had only two functions. One was to serve as a bait to attract more assassins and Experts come and cooperate with the ambush, but this is easy to make mistakes. If the other party sends an existence that Leylin can't handle, then it is really asking for a dead end.
And the second is to make a deal with Dim through the other party, so that the viscount retreats in spite of the difficulties.
After all, the Faolan family is not the only island fief on the sea. After showing their strength, they will send Steve back to show that their family has no intention of going to war, and maybe they can get a peaceful one. time.
Of course, Leylin would never place his safety on the enemy's kindness and hesitation.
But it is also a good idea to buy time for yourself. After all, his strength is also increasing day by day, and the annihilation of the whole army on the Faolan island this time is enough to make the opponent stop for a while, right
Leylin rubbed his chin: "Quickly move, press down all the captives, and kill those who resist!"
"Obey!"
Many guards shouted together. In fact, most of the pirates lost their fighting spirit when they saw that their captain Steve was captured. After Isabelle and other crossbowmen suppressed They were defeated, and even those who tried to swim across the sea were shot and killed by the sailors on the big ship. None of them were let go, and the sea area was soon dyed red.
Under such circumstances, even the most ferocious pirates could not help thinking of surrendering.
Soon, the sound of weapons being thrown to the ground sounded one after another, and the guards were busy tying up the prisoners one by one and sending them to the big ship.
"Set the fire here and burn it down, and we'll leave later!"
Leylin gave the order.
Afterwards, he returned to the big two-masted ship when he came. Behind the big ship at this time, the stolen pirate ship was also tied to the stern and became a trophy.
Looking at the red sea of flames, Leylin quietly listened to Jacopo's report: "... we lost 9 guards this time, 15 were seriously injured, and the others were slightly injured..."
Even though it was a sneak attack and had an advantage in equipment, it was still like this, which made Jacopo's face turn red.
At the same time, he also gained a deeper understanding of the viciousness of pirates. If the Black Tiger Pirates landed on Faolan Island this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Well, what about the seizure?"
Leylin's expression was calm, and such small scenes were no longer in his eyes.
"In terms of seizures, we killed 37 pirates and 52 captives. The whereabouts of the rest are unknown, and we also captured Steve. The Black Tiger Pirates can be regarded as completely wiped out..."
When he said this, Jacopo's expression became brighter: "It's a pity that there are no spoils, only a pile of rum and dried meat, and no letters..."
"Pirates are poor ghosts, what more do you want?"
Leylin shook his head and laughed. Those low-level pirates didn't have much money in the first place. Even if they were lucky enough to make a fortune, they would soon spend it on the port's low-quality drinks, barbecues, women, and casinos until the next day. They didn't even have a copper in their pockets, so they went out to sea with the captain, howling like wolves and attacking other ships.
"In fact, even if you add up the property of all the captives, I'm afraid it's not as big as Steve's own small coffers!"
Leylin smiled.
"That Steve needs to interrogate carefully. Although the other party is unlikely to have a noble letter, he must ask me about the small treasury..."
If evidence of his relationship with Viscount Dim could be found, then Leylin would not have to be so troubled, but in reality this is simply impossible.
The other party is not a fool, it is impossible to directly leave a letter or the like.
Therefore, Leylin only hoped to give it a try.
As for the money, it was for the compensation this time. At least these guards who died fighting with him must be rewarded handsomely, otherwise no one would be willing to contribute to him next time.
After dealing with all this, Leylin walked into the cabin.
Since there were dozens of captives on the way back, the hidden cabin was even more crowded and messy.
Of course, it was impossible for Leylin to imprison these captives collectively on the pirate ship at the back, that would simply be asking for trouble for himself.
But even in this environment, Isabelle got her own room, which was the privilege of the nobles and the powerful.
"Can I come in?"
Walking to the other party's room, Leylin asked.
"Come in!"
As the door opened, Leylin walked directly into the cabin and even added a silence technique.
This action immediately made Isabelle's expression a little dignified.
Leylin sniffled, the air was filled with the smell of herbs, and Isabelle's clothes were still a bit messy, apparently she hadn't buttoned them up hastily just now.
