My Players Are So Fierce

A deadly disaster had vanished without a trace.

But it wasn’t because Babro was soft-hearted. It was simply that the punishment methods used by human pirates for traitors couldn’t be applied to vampire pirates.

No matter if it’s walking the plank or keelhauling, these punishments are meaningless to immortal vampires. Thus, the most severe punishment for betrayal within the Blood Fear Fleet is the scorching punishment by sunlight, followed by surrendering treasure and whipping.

They crafted quite peculiar whips.

The wounds inflicted by these whips cannot be healed by a vampire’s regenerative abilities. Thirty lashes are enough to keep a vampire bedridden for ten days to half a month, leaving scars of shame. This painful experience teaches them to be more cautious the next time they consider betrayal.

Soon, the underground temple fell quiet.

Only then did Babro glance at Murphy with a complex expression and said:

“You know everything?”

“Yes, those things you didn’t want me to know, the things about the World Burning Demon Warrior, about the major trouble you’re facing, I know all of them. Precisely because I know, I have confirmed that you have no cards left to play in this confrontation.

What I mean is, you can only let me deal with you now — what a tragedy.”

Murphy calmly patted the increasingly sorrowful Babro on the shoulder, saying:

“Tell me, how long has the World Burning Demon Warrior been hunting you?”

“More than a year, but the bitterness makes it feel like the tragedy just happened yesterday.”

The Bloody Captain pulled out a crippled chair, sat down, picked up a half bottle of wine, bit it open, and said while gulping:

“They suddenly appeared on a stormy night, crashing onto my fleet’s deck in the form of meteors that burned through everything. That night, I lost four ships but couldn’t kill a single enemy.

That was the beginning of a dreadful nightmare.

Since that day, every month, Blood Fear Pirates would inexplicably disappear. Soon, this news spread throughout the fleet, and everyone became anxious. Claire and I have survived numerous attacks, and the Blood Fear Clan’s core members have suffered heavy losses.

We had to venture to the Far East. As I told you before, the Dragon Emperor’s Star Diviners explained the origins of the World Burning Demon Warrior to us, making us realize that the sins from two hundred years ago are explosively seeking revenge on today’s Blood Fear Clan.

Many have been scared senseless, Vite being the most extreme among them.

But don’t worry, Vite’s betrayal was done secretly from other factions, and his self-destructive actions were enough to dispel those in the fleet with wavering minds.

With this fool as a precedent, all Blood Fear Pirates will know there is no choice but to resist until the end.

Murphy, you already know the major trouble we’re facing, the pursuit by the World Burning Demon Warrior will continue, but I don’t have enough leverage to ask for your help to assist our people facing extinction yet again after 200 years…”

“Now you do.”

Murphy interrupted the Pirate Captain, pointing towards the direction of the Broken Tooth Territory, and said:

“Now the Wave Fishman are taking advantage of the pirate strife to attack your harbor. Those panicked pirates above need someone to lead them in a counterattack.

You!

Babro, you take the lead!

I don’t care how you do it, but you need to consolidate the pirates here into a cohesive force as quickly as possible, and lead them to join the attack on the Broken Tooth Clan territory, and then you need to be part of the assault sequence against Moss Valley.

As long as we kill The Master of Hunting, then I promise you, I will make every effort to support the Blood Fear Clan in resolving their trouble!

Anyway, I am destined not to be friends with the subspace, so helping you is just incidental. See? I am generous, not even mentioning any other additional terms, so if you refuse me, that would actually be quite rude.”

“Hey, your word is all I need.”

Babro grinned, this weakened vampire pirate said deeply:

“You will see us on the battlefield. However, I suddenly feel Vite’s actions might not be entirely a bad thing, rather than waiting for other pirates to be crushed by fear, it’s better that I deal with this trouble in advance, to avoid them making similar foolish moves again.

Just the Blood Vulture Duke and Thorns Duke are both here. As the misnomer Duke of Blood Fear, I wish to ask the two seniors a question on behalf of the next generation.

If you two were in my current situation, what would you do?”

Upon Babro’s humble inquiry, Triss and Shani exchanged a glance, the two beautiful women communicated silently, then Triss reported softly:

“If it was me, I would take this opportunity to distribute the Fear of Blood Origin Blood, eliminating the troubles and earning a good name.”

“Exactly, we already know that even drinking the Origin Blood to escape the control of the Blood Covenant, as long as one remains a member of the Blood Fear, the World Burning Demon Warrior will not spare you, but other pirates are unaware of this point.”

Shani glanced at Murphy and supplemented:

“You just need them to be involved in the next two battles, so use the freedom your pirates always speak of as leverage. They want to break free from the vampire’s blood covenant system, then give them freedom.”

“The World Burning Demon Warrior is a threat to you all, let them try to escape that never-ending pursuit themselves, and when they find no way out, they will naturally return seeking you.”
