The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 189
Block (3)
“What, what is it!”
The Pirate King’s bewildered gaze turned to his subordinate at the unexpected event.
At first, it was a pirate who came into the room saying that something big had happened.
“What’s going on! What on earth is going on that’s making such a fuss!”
“That, that… … I missed the ship coming from Esteban… … .”
“shipping?”
By the way, I heard that a ship was heading to the archipelago.
He must have sent his men to capture it.
But what on earth does this commotion have to do with ships?
“Are you saying they fired cannons? Or was it a warship disguised as a merchant ship?”
“That’s… … I suddenly missed the ship… … So… … .”
“Eight, you annoying little brat! Get out of the way!”
“Hey, captain!”
Seeing his subordinates keep repeating the same thing, the Pirate King finally stormed out of the room.
Then he turned his gaze towards the direction from which the noise had come.
“… … !”
At that moment, the Pirate King was able to understand what his subordinate was talking about.
There was a commotion because the ship was missed, so how could that be the only explanation?
“What is that…?”
From where white smoke rises.
All questions were about to be resolved.

“Wow, this is what makes large sailing ships so great.”
George, who was holding onto a rope next to the railing, took a leisurely breath as if enjoying the sea breeze.
Could this be what the sea people of the past looked like when they set out to find a new continent?
The way he was showing off now was truly free and cheerful.
But the sight that unfolds beneath is nothing short of astonishing.
Kugugugugugugu!
As the ship, which was moving at full speed, hit the dock, a loud noise was made and rotten wooden fragments flew into the air.
Would a ship lined with steel and a dock managed by pirates have the same durability?
The ship, struck by the wind like a bolt of lightning, came to a stop only after being struck several dozen meters further.
“That’s really spectacular.”
That’s the current situation.
The wharf was literally reduced to scorched earth.
Of course, not everyone was as cheerful as the guy.
“Profit! What on earth is this! What would have happened if something had happened to Your Majesty’s body!”
The lord, who followed behind without knowing anything, grabbed the captain who was holding the steering wheel by the collar.
But the captain just showed both his hands with a cold look in his eyes.
“The sailing ship I personally manage won’t be damaged by such things. Wouldn’t the shock on the hull be less?”
“That’s not it!”
“His Majesty has personally given the order. What can we do?”
“And you gave the order? Your Majesty?”
“You clearly told me to run at full speed.”
“This, this… … !”
surely.
The pirate ships that had discovered them were closing in on them from afar.
It was natural that we had to escape quickly, as being trapped at sea could have led to a difficult situation.
“But does that mean that there is a case where a sailing ship is suddenly rushed into the dock?”
Usually, running at full speed meant getting out of a siege, not charging straight into it.
Moreover, wasn’t there even a king here?
That’s an unimaginable action from the lord’s perspective!
To be honest, not only the Silk Lord, but anyone would think that way.
But he wasn’t the only captain with the fiery personality typical of seafarers.
“So what do you do when pirate ships rush to surround your ship?”
“That, that is… … .”
“I was just following orders. If there had been even a little delay, all the roads leading to the dock would have been blocked.”
“… … Ugh.”
The captain was confident, choosing only practicality as if he did not care about the damage to the ship.
There was no room for refutation, since everything he said was true.
“Is the other side slowly coming to their senses?”
Then George approached and shrugged.
Beyond the wharf where the shaking had stopped, pirates who had come to their senses were rushing towards this place, holding their weapons.
Of course, they still looked flustered, probably because they hadn’t expected to be stranded on the dock.
“It’s actually better.”
And of course, it wasn’t just the captain who wished for this situation.

I pulled out Elvern from my waistband and aimed it at the guys.
“If they rushed at the ship as soon as they saw it, they must have thought of it as prey. If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“You never even thought of saving me in the first place.”
“That’s obvious.”
The corners of his mouth began to rise with pleasure.
“There is no reason to tolerate the troubles at sea forever.”
There were many other reasons to deal with them, but the biggest reason was that the archipelago they had occupied was useful.
An archipelago under the protection of the Federal Empire.
Because I was attracted to that coincidental location.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen your skills. The knights deal with the pirates and reclaim the archipelago.”
“insect!”
At my command, the knights began to jump onto the land.
Of course, the pirates were even more confused by the fact that the knights showed up after they had been thrown onto the dock.
* * *
visor!
Crunch!
“Eww!”
“Save me!”
The pirates tried to fight against the knights with their own weapons, but it was no use.
A guard sent to protect the King of Esteban. It was impossible for a mere pirate to defeat them.
Of course, there was no way the pirates would know that fact.
“Ugh!”
“Where on earth do these guys come from?!”
I knew they were pirates from Esteban, but I never thought there would be such a group on a single ship.
What about these well-trained knights?
Because of this, the defensive line that had been built was full of chaos and repeatedly collapsed at the knights’ beckoning.
“What are you guys doing! Come together and respond!”
“Hey, captain!”
But then the Pirate King came to his senses and began to seriously control the battlefield.
“Even if they are knights, they won’t be safe if they put down their swords! Tighten the encirclement and cut them down one by one!”
“Yeah, yeah!”
“No matter how strong they are, they can’t win against numbers!”
The number of enemy knights is only twenty.
The number of pirates residing in this archipelago was dozens of times that number.
If we deal with just one person first, the pressure they’ll feel will only increase exponentially.
But everyone has a plan until it hits them. It didn’t take long for me to realize that numbers weren’t the issue.
“It’s impossible!”
“We can’t surround them!”
Crunch-
“Ouch, again!”
“That kid comes out every time we form a siege!”
“profit……!”
It was hard enough dealing with the knights, but the silver-haired man with his arms crossed behind him was even harder.
It appears whenever the knights are in danger, kills a dozen pirates, and disappears!
How many times has this happened already?
The pirates were being intimidated by the repeated sword strikes that had been going on since earlier.
“Ugh! Shit, you annoying little shits! Get out of the way!”
“Oh!”
“The captain himself has stepped forward!”
“I tried to treat you as a guest, but this time I won’t let you go!”
Eventually, the Pirate King joined the battlefield, holding his beloved weapon, the Scimitar.
Is it an illusion that the corners of the man’s mouth went up when he discovered that sight?
“Oh my, it looks like he’s the leader.”
“Do you want to deal with him directly?”
“I guess so.”
“What are those who are about to die babbling about!”
The Pirate King shouted with a bright red face. In order to rule over the unruly pirates, it was not enough to simply have a thick reputation.
In that sense, that confidence was by no means an empty boast.
however.
“Are these all the pirates densely packed in the archipelago?”
“Ha! What are you talking about? You’re asking such a stupid question! Don’t worry, the troops we have here will be able to kill you guys!”
“So you’re saying there’s still more left?”
“What… … .”
Swish-
“… … Huh?!”
Even he missed the movements of the man who had come within striking distance.
No, I didn’t even feel any movement in the first place. Not even the moment it came right in front of me and aimed its sword.
“Oh, how on earth… … .”
“Then it seems like it will take a long time, so I have no choice but to do it myself.”
Phew!
“Keep, keep… … .”
The sensation of it digging into his flesh was vague, but the bloodshot eyes looking down at him were clear.
One blow.
It was so unrealistic that I couldn’t even realize that I had been stabbed until the very moment my body collapsed.
dump-
“Hey, captain!”
“The captain has been hit!”
“Run away!”
The pirate den turned into a battlefield in an instant.
When the pirates realized that there was no hope, they began to disperse, and the battle to break through the defenses at some point turned into a standard rabbit hunt.
No, it was like that from the beginning. The pirates probably didn’t know it.
“Well, I guess that’s what I was hoping for… … .”
And in it, only George’s tongue-clicking sound echoed.
***
It was two days later that all the pirates scattered throughout the archipelago were completely eliminated.
“Your Majesty, I have cleared out the last of the remaining pirates.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Although some pirates who sensed something odd managed to escape via the ship, in the end it was all as good as settled.
Anyway, wherever they go, they will not be able to avoid being criminals.
Strictly speaking, the Federal Empire was something of an ally to them… … Well, they probably had their own thoughts in the first place, so they wouldn’t have gone in that direction.
‘I’ll be killed by those guys without any hesitation.’
There was no chance of them returning home alive and well unless they wanted their relationship exposed.
“You’ve managed to get rid of the pirates who were a headache in the South so easily… … .”
Meanwhile, Yeong-ju, who had followed along without knowing, couldn’t believe the situation and even pinched her cheek.
Although they were knights, they were professionals in naval warfare, and their number reached a thousand.
The point is that pirates who eat away at territory are not incompetent and should not be left alone.
Of course, if you think about it, it was a simple task.
“The reason they were able to grow in power was because of the protection of the Federation Empire. They have been pressuring neighboring countries, knowingly or unknowingly, to prevent them from sending out punitive forces. Or they have been giving advance warning that a punitive force will be formed.”
“Is that so?”
“In the end, no matter what, they’re just pirates.”
They were a bunch of bastards who couldn’t even be defeated by the regular army. From my perspective, they were nothing more or less than that.
This was the end of them showing off their power by riding on the backs of wild beasts.
Besides, I don’t know about the lord, but the knights he brought with him were not ordinary royal knights.
‘As expected, it’s specialized in dealing with humans.’
They were mercenaries who had been under Brom, and now belonged to the 4th order of knights, the Knights of the Red Hawk.
Even their military power was incomparable to that of ordinary knights, and their numerous combat experiences in particular made up for any shortcomings in their level.
If pirates were experts at surface combat, these guys were experts at melee combat.
Even with the training of the King of Knights added to it, it couldn’t have been better.
The remnants of the pirates who had lost their back ships and command center to those guys would not even be worth fighting.
“By the way, it’s a pirate base… … .”
I took in the sight of the archipelago as it came into view.
Although this place was run down by pirates, it still had some basic facilities.
For example, a blacksmith shop, a shipyard… … It’s not just a port of call, it’s on a huge scale.
It was my first time seeing that sight in person, so I felt surprised.
‘Is this also thanks to the deal with the Federal Empire?’
“The dwarves must have arrived at the port soon. Should we call them and have them do some repairs?”
“I guess so.”
“Well… if you want to do serious piracy, then.”
I nodded at George’s voice, which broke my thoughts.
‘But I think these infrastructures will be usable.’
More infrastructure than expected, including supplies.
The original purpose was to disguise themselves as pirates here and prevent Madra’s invasion, but it seemed like they could achieve more than that if they had these.
After all, it would be easier than organizing an army in a place where there was nothing.
Then George opened his mouth.
“How about this?”
