"The person to be killed?"
Su Li frowned.
"Don't worry, we won't be acting alone. This time it's a group operation," Lilith said, taking a bite of a soft and juicy purple fruit and speaking to Su Li.
"Ah?" Su Li became even more puzzled.
At this moment, the captain of the Black Swordsman Squad, Green Dash, walked in. He was holding a plate filled with various fruits from different places, distributing them to other injured Night Watchers while saying:
"This mission is a collective task for our Black Swordsman Squad."
"We received news that the Plague Ship has looted the cargo of Captain Qiu Jigis, a devout believer of the Delan Becca Night Church in our district, and captured over four hundred passengers. They are now docked at Pirate Bay, preparing to sell them as slaves."
"Lilith applied to join the mission temporarily. Will you join too?"
Su Li didn't hesitate. He looked at Green Dash, the captain of the Black Swordsman Squad, and nodded:
"I'll join. When does the mission depart?"
Green Dash put down the empty plate, gripping the hilt of his sword with one hand, and said to Su Li:
"The intelligence report says that the Plague Ship will arrive at Pirate Bay the day after tomorrow. We will directly use the seal to reach the location."
"In other words, you have one day to prepare weapons and equipment," Lilith added.
Su Li looked at the seal, Nine Lives, on top of Lilith's head. This extraordinary item with the characteristic of being alive was now dim and had slight cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment.
He asked:
"How many pirates do you need to kill?"
Lilith touched the seal on top of her head and said lightly:
"At least ten. If you want to restore the state you saw before, you'll have to kill over a hundred."
Green Dash looked out the window, his gaze seemingly seeing the pirate port in Dixie Bay, even further away. He calmly said:
"Don't worry, the Plague Ship is a notorious pirate group. They have over ten extraordinary individuals and over four hundred ordinary crew members. They have three main ships and seven secondary ships. It's enough for you to kill."
Su Li had never heard of a pirate group of this scale before. It reminded him of the Ghost Ship that dared to attack Delan Becca.
"Kill them all?" Su Li couldn't help but ask.
After all, he didn't know much about the Plague Ship, and this was his first time participating in such a large-scale Night Watcher operation.
Green Dash, the Black Swordsman, picked up the information on Lilith's desk and handed it to Su Li, indicating for him to read it himself.
Su Li picked up the information and was immediately drawn to several tragic cases.
The stack of information was quite detailed, with cut-out newspapers, pictures, and wanted posters.
And the first page of the information was a large wanted poster.
Captain of the Plague Ship - Rhecia Von.
He was a man with a missing tooth and a bold appearance.
He wore a magnificent captain's uniform and had a black beard shaped like a smoking pipe. There was a cross-shaped scar on his right cheek.
"Wanted reward: 5700 pounds!"
Possesses three seals, unknown sequence pathway, unknown strength.
Known extraordinary items: Plague Casket, Firework Gun, Black Cloak.
As Su Li looked through Rhecia's resume, he couldn't help but take a cold breath.
In his eyes, Captain Rhecia of the Plague Ship was an unforgivable snake.
This guy was good at releasing plagues. Every time he raided a port, Rhecia would personally go ashore and use the seal, Plague Casket, to release the plague.
When everyone in the port was infected and became weak, he would order the cannons to fire, destroying the local armed forces.
Then he would plunder the wealth and burn down the town.
He would imprison all the defenseless ordinary civilians on the ship and engage in slave trade.
It was precisely because of their cunningness that the Plague Ship had become a notorious pirate group on the sea within a few years, with the potential to become a Supernova Pirate.
As Su Li flipped through the information, he couldn't help but take a cold breath.
He felt fear towards the numerous atrocities committed by the Plague Ship.
A fleet of only four hundred people had destroyed six island towns, directly or indirectly causing the deaths of twenty thousand people, and committing all sorts of atrocities such as looting, killing, and plundering.
What was even more despicable was that almost everyone on the Plague Ship was evil. They enjoyed torturing young girls in pain. Once they attacked a town, they would leave only the old and weak on the island to die, while selling all the young and strong, especially the girls.
With the massive amount of wealth they plundered, the crew of the Plague Ship was armed to the teeth.
The number of recruited extraordinary individuals was unknown, but the bounties for the known lieutenants were all over 500 pounds.
First Mate - Flash Star Ponit.
Sequence Pathway: Sequence 6, Demon.
Transcendent Abilities: Curse, Corpse Bomb, Forbidden Arts.
Bounty: 4000 pounds.
First Mate - Death Doctor Dof.
Sequence Pathway: Sequence 6, Biologist.
Transcendent Abilities: Enhanced Immunity, Healing, Life Growth.
Bounty: 4200 pounds.
Second Mate - Soul Snatcher Mevia.
Sequence Pathway: Sequence 7, Hidden Monk.
Transcendent Abilities: Blood Magic, Chaotic Chant...
Bounty: 3000 pounds.
The more Su Li looked through the information on the Plague Ship, the more he felt that this operation was necessary.
Perhaps the Plague Ship was not the strongest among the pirates, but their harm was the greatest.
Su Li deeply abhorred these extraordinary individuals who specifically targeted the weak and mercilessly killed ordinary people after landing on the island.
"How many Night Watchers will be mobilized for this operation?"
Black Swordsman Green Dash responded:
Search tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w for the original.
"Over a hundred priests have volunteered to participate. This time, we will eradicate the entire Pirate Bay in the name of the Goddess."
Hearing that over a hundred Night Watchers would be mobilized, Su Li felt a surge of excitement:
"Such a large-scale operation?""It's not just that! The Plague is extremely cunning. Their main ship is a gigantic Transcendent item, transformed by spending a huge amount of money to imitate the Black Emperor and the Phantom. Its ability to escape is quite formidable."
Lilith explained:
"If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to take them down again."
An injured Night Watcher nearby listened to their casual conversation and couldn't help but feel envious. He had a certain understanding of this mission before Su Li arrived, and interjected with admiration:
"The Storm Church and our Night Church joining hands, this is a grand occasion that hasn't happened in many years! If I wasn't injured, I would also want to participate in this operation."
Green Dash glanced at a member of the Black Swordsman squad with a plastered leg and said with a smile:
"Take good care of your injuries, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
With that, he explained to Su Li:
"The Storm Church will send out the fourth-ranked Disaster High Priest to cooperate with our actions. We must completely annihilate the Plague. Since you have the VIP card of the Steam and Mechanical Church, go and prepare well."
Green Dash patted Su Li, who was sitting by Lilith's bed, on the shoulder. He took out a black card and handed it to Su Li, saying:
"This is a loan of 5,000 pounds advanced to you by the church. You can buy equipment at will, but it must be returned after the mission. If you can't get enough rewards, you'll have to use your sealed item to offset the debt, understand?"
Su Li took the black anonymous account card handed over by Green Dash and said with surprise:
"Thank you, Captain. I understand."
