After the crowd got the news, they spread the news excitedly, and they quickly a.s.sembled on the Magical Beast Plaza to watch the one-eyed pirate king's public execution. Many people had even used a Magical Teleportation Formation Spell to rush here from Black Water City or Salerno Port. They had rushed through the night to observe this event in Wissen Town.

The majestic Magical Beast Plaza became packed with people in less than an hour.

"Burn him to death! Burn to death this d.a.m.ned pirate!"

"It's retribution! This is retribution! Burn him to death, burn…"

When the crowd saw the one-eyed man bound into the Fire Execution Pillar, they became impa.s.sioned and excited. Some people just yelled loudly, while some threw eggs as they shouted, and some even picked up rocks and threw them. This was especially for people persecuted by the Anca family, and they all wished to rush there and hack the one-eyed man to shreds.

The period where the Anca family ruled Wissen Town was a horrible period to the crowd, and at that time, they had to walk and talk softly, and they were all afraid that a disaster would befall them. At that time, many households didn't even have enough food that night due to the Anca family's exploitation, and it was difficult for the people to cross every winter. Many would starve to death or freeze to death, and this was then a common occurrence.

The people finally got to live a blissful life only after Yang Ling conquered Wissen Castle with his men and exterminated the Anca family. The difference between their previous and current lives was like the difference between Heaven and h.e.l.l.

When the crowd saw the Anca family's one-eyed man that slipped in the past and saw this former vile and ferocious guy, they recalled their former days of suffering and their deeply ingrained resentment. They wished badly to slice several pieces of the one-eyed man's flesh with their own hands.

The fugitive one-eyed man wasn't just sly; he was also vicious and fierce. When he faced the impa.s.sioned crowd at the beginning, he didn't just regret his actions. Instead, he swept the people's faces with his bloodshot eyes as if he was a fierce beast looking for a chance to make a counterattack. The reason behind this might be that he was aware that he wouldn't get to survive this crisis, and as the flame shone upon him, it seemed like the knife scar on his face started wiggling, and it seemed quite malevolent looking.

However, when the crowd started cheering, and several soldiers brought a large amount of charcoal and dry firewood, the one-eyed man's expression finally changed and his face turned pale, while his limbs s.h.i.+vered uncontrollably. Even the fiercest fugitive criminal would still feel fright upon facing imminent death.

"Burn him! Burn him to death! Burn…" The crowd looked at the masked soldier holding a torch and looked at the one-eyed man s.h.i.+vering with fright before they clenched their fists and started yelling. Some old people that were previously persecuted by the one-eyed man shed tears and started muttering the names of their relatives that perished due to the persecution.

"Carry it out! After you finish dealing with this affair, hurry up and a.s.semble in the main hall." Yang Ling looked at the pale-faced one-eyed man and pa.s.sed down an order calmly.

After the city defense officer pa.s.sed down an order, the masked soldier ignited the charcoal and firewood decisively. In an instant, fire soared to the sky, and the Fire Execution Pillar that had a Fire Magical Formation Spell turned bright red. The one-eyed man that had done too much evil let out miserable cries, and his whole body was engulfed by the flames that reached the sky. His body emitted mean burnt odor, and his screams started turning weaker. The one-eyed man that had ruled Wissen Town in the past and ran amok in the sea was burned to ashes in this way.

After Yang Ling executed publicly the one-eyed man that had done many evil crimes, he quickly convened the crowd into the main hall and informed them of the Sea Demon King as well as the church's conspiracy. He started discussing with them how they should deal with the Sea Demon King and the church's conspiracy, and how they could safely cross this never seen crisis.

"Your lords.h.i.+p, I believe that we must quickly help the Dark a.s.sociation. If the Dark a.s.sociation was destroyed, our Magical Beast Territory would likely become the enemy's heavy attack target." General Ashnamov expressed his opinion in a deep voice. He was a brave and scheming general, and he quickly discerned that the Dark a.s.sociation had a great strategic significance. This was why it was crucial to intervene and help them!

"Barak is the Dark a.s.sociation's headquarters, and even in their worst days, they managed to depend upon it to withstand the Church's fierce attacks. I believe that the Dark a.s.sociation protected by the Three Heads of Darkness won't easily suffer a defeat no matter how strong the Sea Demon King's army. I believe that it will be best for us to not attack rashly for now." Argus spoke loudly in opposition to Ashnamov's suggestion.

Argus's experience in the Wilderness of Siberia let him become more prudent, and he turned from a lad, whose face would become flushed upon seeing a beauty into a great general of guerrilla warfare with outstanding military service.

After the crowd understood the precarious situation, they started discussing spiritedly. Some people approved of Ashnamov's suggestion and hoped that they would quickly send soldiers as a reinforcement to the besieged Dark a.s.sociation, while others approved of Argus's suggestion and believed that they shouldn't make rash action in this tense situation. They hoped to bide their time. The people that had different opinions started quarreling, and they argued for a long time without managing to persuade the other party.

"Goode, what do you think about this?" Yang Ling waved his hand at the crowd to ask them to calm down before he asked his best strategist Goode.

"Your lords.h.i.+p! According to Intel, the Demon Island's army along has 100,000 troops, and they are all elite among the elite that included many Giant Whale Warriors, Tiger Shark Men, Fish Head Spellcaster, and other battles tribes. If we add to them the Church's army hiding in the dark, the enemy's power will be so terrifying, and sending troops rashly will be too disadvantageous to us."

Goode was quite prudent, and he opposed tactfully the suggestion concerning sending troops immediately, but after he paused for a moment, he said, "However, although we can't help the Dark a.s.sociation immediately, we can still announce the Sea Demon King and Church's plots, and we can dispatch people to send word to the Fire G.o.d Sect, Elven Chief Priestess, Banner family, and other great factions. I believe that the great factions won't allow the plot of the Sea Demon King and Church to prevail for the sake of the continent's peace and our joint benefits."

He was scheming. He was really scheming! Or, It could be perhaps said that he had a brilliant strategic foresight. He managed to push the Sea Demon and the Church into a fire pit that would burn them, and he also implicated all great factions in this affair.

Yang Ling looked at his best strategist Goode and nodded with appreciation. However, announcing the plot of the Sea Demon and the Church to the whole continent wasn't enough, and he must quickly attack. Even if he couldn't directly lift the Dark a.s.sociation's siege, he should at least pin down the troops of the Sea Demon King and the Church.

The teeth would feel the cold without the lips!

It could be said in a sense that the Magical Beast Territory and the Dark a.s.sociation had already formed an alliance, and Yang Ling couldn't just sit calmly and watch the destruction of the Dark a.s.sociation. In addition, the Three Heads of Darkness had helped him many times at crucial junctures, and he surely mustn't bide his time for the sake of their friends.h.i.+ps.

"According to the Intel in our hands, the Demon Island had mobilized all of its force to destroy the Dark a.s.sociation thoroughly, and just some soldiers were left on the island. Sending troops at Barak won't play a crucial role, but as long as we launch a surprise attack on the Demon Island and destroy the Sea Demon King's base, I believe that the Dark a.s.sociation's crisis will be alleviated." Yang Ling spoke while he spread out the large sea map made by the scouts. A large red cross mark pinpointed the Demon Island's location.

Demon Island was quite mysterious, and ordinary people couldn't approach it. Ordinary people wouldn't get to know its approximate location in the sea, but Evelyn had left behind her personal guards that belonged to the sea tribe, and they could pinpoint the approximate location. Moreover, as Yang Ling added to it the memory of the thin and tall man Graham, he managed to ascertain the Demon Island's location.

"Your lords.h.i.+p, the Demon Island is far away from us, and we won't manage to reach it without traveling in s.h.i.+ps for a dozen days or more. By the time our soldiers rush there strenuously, it wouldn't matter that the Demon Island is unguarded because the Dark a.s.sociation would probably have been destroyed by then." Argus shook his head and opposed Yang Ling's suggestion tactfully.

"That is right! Your lords.h.i.+p, the sea changes rapidly, and if we run into a great storm, won't we…" Ashnamov also didn't approve of this crazy plan. But, it still couldn't be denied that this plan was quite alluring as once they succeeded, they would deliver a grave blow to the morale of the Demon Island's army. However, if they failed, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine.

The crowd led by Argus and Ashnamov opposed Yang Ling's daring and crazy plan. Yang Ling's power was unfathomable, and he could use teleportation, but the distance between the Magical Beast Territory and the Demon Island was still too great and wasn't something as simple as several thousand miles. Even if Yang Ling's power was greater, he still wouldn't manage to teleport over such a large distance, and he still had to bring with him an army.

"Sirs, you can set your mind at ease. I have obviously a way to achieve this." Yang Ling that faced the crowd's opposition chuckled confidently, "Goode! After I leave, you will be in charge of getting in contact with the Fire G.o.d Sect, Banner family, and other great factions. You should inform them of the plot of the Sea Demon King and the Church. As for Ashnamov, you will be in charge of the domain's safety, and you should guard against the enemy's sneak attack. Yuna, you should send people to get in touch with Siattu Sea Tribe and invite them to send soldiers to deal with the evil Demon Island."

After Yang Ling made appropriate preparations and affirmed that he didn't let anything slip by, he quickly set off on a journey. He traveled alone toward the distant Demon Island. He had the powerful Magical Beast Army, and he was confident that he could deal with the defenseless Demon Island.

The Demon Island was quite far away, and there was a large distance between it and the Magical Beast Territory. Ordinary people wouldn't manage to reach it even by traveling with s.h.i.+ps for half a month, and even though Yang Ling had a Teleportation Gate, he still couldn't teleport there directly. However, it could be said in a sense that he kept a secret from the crowd so that he wouldn't give rise to panic.

According to Graham's memory, their groups didn't travel from the Demon Island to the Magical Beast Territory with a s.h.i.+p, and they had used a Teleportation Formation Spell set up beforehand to travel all the way. This was the reason why they managed to quickly transport a large number of soldiers to mount surprise attacks on the Magical Beast Territory and the Dark a.s.sociation.

Since the Sea Tribe could teleport over with a Magical Teleportation Spell, Yang Ling could obviously also use it to reach the Demon Island quickly. He would launch a long-range raid from ten thousand miles and destroy the Sea Demons' nest thoroughly.
