Chapter 156
The battle between pirates and the navy was unmatched in ferocity. Below the ships, water spouts erupted continuously, while on deck, cannons roared as they fired upon each other, their muzzles clashing head-on.
On the ever-shaking deck, pirates and navy men tangled in a melee so intense that friend and foe became indistinguishable, swords flashing in the chaos.
The candidates stood dazed amidst the tumultuous fray, their spirits seemingly drained.
“Hmph,” Cruel sneered at the bewildered candidates and abruptly rose to his feet.
“Ah! You’re quite the useful one,” Ivan exclaimed, his eyes sparkling as he sang a bizarre tune.
“Useful? Of course, I am,” Cruel retorted, drawing his sword and preparing to leap onto the navy’s warship when a sudden thought struck him.
‘...But aren’t all these navy men under Lord Sun’s command?’
Hesitation crept into Cruel, who was moments away from joining the fray. Even if Yan promised a tremendous elixir... was this the right course of action?
If he carelessly joined and was seen by the navy, who might then report him...
Just then, a familiar telepathic message reached his ears.
-Don’t worry and just do it. Who knows your face anyway? And do you not know whose request we’re fulfilling right now?
