"King?"

"Why do you call me 'King'?"

After hearing [Lanros] speak, Coles was only slightly surprised, because he had guessed that high-level shadow soldiers should have this peculiarity, but the title of "King" made him puzzled.

[Lanros] knelt on one knee and replied respectfully: "Reporting to the 'King', this is a hint from instinct!"

Instinct?

Coles fell into thinking.

The shadow soldiers he summoned were absolutely loyal to him. If it was an instinctive reaction, then the title of King was indeed in line with the situation.

It's just that in this pirate world, he is indeed a little sensitive to the word "King".

"I know, you get up." After thinking it through, Coles accepted this title.

"Yes." [Lanlos] stood up.

"You should still have your previous memories, right?" Coles asked.

[Lanlos] nodded and said, "Yes, King. I remember my memories of my life very clearly. Thank you for summoning me, so that my men and I can regain consciousness."

After confirming that the high-level shadow soldiers had memories, Coles asked another question: "[Lanlos], why did this ship become a ghost ship?"

[Lanlos] recalled the memories in his mind and began to tell the story in a voice full of vicissitudes.

"I used to be Lanlos, the Grand Knight Commander of Silver Moon Country, and also a sinner of the entire Silver Moon Country.

"Because my willpower was not strong enough, I failed to resist the temptation of the demon sword, and finally slaughtered the entire royal city under the control of murderous intent.

After the incident in the Royal City, I and other knights woke up from the confusion. After learning that we destroyed the country, we were so angry that we even wanted to commit suicide on the spot...

But we still have an unfinished mission. On the night of the pirate attack, the king asked the prince and some of the people to flee. We need to find them and ask for forgiveness and atonement.

After a difficult six months, we finally found the surviving people of Silver Moon Country. They built a huge ship, which is the current one.

The high priest led us on board and showed us the murals carved on the deck of the ship. They were carved to let the people know the history at all times. "

Kors quickly digested this information, and the previous doubts were also solved.

"The surviving people of Silver Moon Country have the same view on us. They think we are guilty and cannot accept us, the sinners who destroyed the country.

I and other knights asked for atonement, even if we paid for it with our lives, because this is the loyalty of knights.

In the end, the people decided to burn us to commemorate the dead innocent people.

We have no complaints about this.

This is what we sinners should endure, and it is also our relief.

But what I didn't expect was that the day of the fire festival was on a full-moon night. The power of the demon sword once again bewitched me, and I and other knights fell out of control again..."

Coles and Kahn were both silent.

The Grand Knight and other knights were controlled. There is no doubt that the people who originally survived on the ship did not survive.

[Lanros] continued to narrate.

"I can see the killing this time with my mind. I want to stop it but I can't do anything. The feeling of killing the people I want to protect has made me suffer so much!"

"In the end, everyone on the ship was killed by me and other knights, and only the high priest persisted to the end.

The high priest is a wizard who has many strange powers. Before he died, the high priest issued the last witchcraft, or curse...

He cursed me and other knights to never reincarnate forever, and our souls will always wander on this ship, suffering countless regrets..."

"This is the sequel to the story of the demon sword. "

Kors and Kahn listened in silence. They didn't expect that the ghost ship was formed in this way.

[Lanros] knelt on one knee again: "Thank you for the king's call, which freed us dead knights from this endless bondage!"

The other twelve shadow knights also knelt on one knee to perform the etiquette of gratitude.

Although they couldn't speak, their consciousness still existed, otherwise they couldn't execute the order.

Kors patted [Lanros] on the shoulder. He could feel the sadness of the Grand Knight Commander and the other twelve knights.

"A hundred years have passed, and your suffering is over. From now on, just stand up and protect me!"

[Lanros] bowed his head and said: "I have devoted my life to the king until my death! ”

The rest of the shadow knights also performed the ancient knight etiquette, indicating their complete loyalty.

At this time, Coles's consciousness was a little overworked, and it was obvious that he had digested too much shadow power. After all, he had used his ability too frequently before.

No more continuous summoning.

Coles took back his ability, and [Lanros] and the surrounding shadow knights merged into the shadow.

Then, he couldn't help but stare at the demon sword Red Moon. This demon sword can be said to be the culprit for the destruction of the Silver Moon Kingdom and is very dangerous.

However...

This demon sword can also greatly enhance the user's strength. It is a rare weapon.

Coles stretched out his right hand.

Preparing to hold the handle of the demon sword Red Moon.

However, when there was still one centimeter away from the handle, Kahn on the side hurriedly reminded him.

"Kors, this demon sword is very dangerous. It has a very strong bewitching power. Even a strong man like Lanlos cannot be firm in his heart and become a puppet controlled by the demon sword. It is better to give it up."

Kors stopped holding the sword temporarily and said slowly: "Major Kahn, you are right. The demon sword Red Moon is very dangerous. It will control the person wearing this sword and bring unimaginable disasters to the holder."

"But you also said that a true swordsman will not be afraid of disasters at all."

Kors' right hand tightly grasped the handle of the demon sword and pulled it off the deck.

"So, I want to try this demon sword to see whether I will become the leader or be controlled by the demon sword!"

Kahn fell silent for a while.

But he did not stop it.

The night in the sky had long dissipated, and the clear moonlight slowly shone on the deck, and the demon sword Hongyue emitted a strange red light!

Coles just held the demon sword quietly!

In his mind, many distracting thoughts surged, but under his firm heart, they were removed one by one.

Finally, the red light on the demon sword dissipated.

The blade returned to calm.

Coles smiled slightly and began to get familiar with the demon sword in his hand: "It seems that I have temporarily become the leader of the demon sword!"

After confirming that the demon sword has returned to calm.

Coles also asked a shadow soldier to go to the upper deck to bring down the scabbard.

Click!

Suddenly, a slight sound was heard on the ghost ship, which was the sound of wood breaking.

What happened?

Coles couldn't help but look at it in confusion, and saw an exaggerated horizontal crack beginning to appear on the hull.

In a short moment, the entire ghost ship cracked a ten-centimeter gap!

At this speed, in a few dozen breaths, the entire ghost ship will be completely separated and eventually fall into the sea.

Kahn's face changed, and he explained: "My sword energy slash just now not only hit Lanros who was controlled by the demon sword, but also cut off the keel of the ship. The ship is about to sink, so leave quickly."

Hearing this, Coles' face changed.

He quickly carried Kahn on his back and hurried back to the bow deck of the patrol ship.

Just after the two left the ghost ship.

The entire ghost ship was broken off at an angle, but not completely. In the case of imbalance, the bow sank into the sea first, and finally the entire ship sank completely.

Looking at the ghost ship sinking into the sea, Coles couldn't help but sigh. It was a pity that time was too urgent and he couldn't bring out the treasures on the ghost ship.

That was a huge treasure!

However, Coles only sighed for a few seconds because he was not interested in money!
