Chapter 1685: Off To A Rocky Start

"In that case, I will thank you in advance for the delivery, and we will be off." Karl informed Elder Malcolm, who waved them away, knowing that he had a huge amount of work left to do for the day.

He had a pretty good idea of what the Captain wanted, as he had upgraded the Captain’s quarters on another ship belonging to an Elven captain.

That was why he suggested going directly back to her ship, they would need to be there to do the upgrade anyhow, so it was better and more discrete if everyone listening in thought that they were only going there to make the deal.

Then, someone would likely be expecting him to come back with the loot, but he wouldn’t have to.

The Captain led them straight toward the ship, following the main road through the market, but less than halfway through the market, dozens of Immortals surrounded them, all with blades drawn.

"{Oh, I knew this was going to be a good day!}" Yewan cheered, which made Cara laugh, and the Captain smile at the excited dragon.

She really liked that little guy.

Karl equipped the Haint Claw and handed Cara the Blade of Champions as the group circled around them.

"So, are we going to have a big dramatic dialogue moment, or are we skipping straight to the part that makes the black dragon happy?" The Captain asked casually, her hand on the blade at her hip.

"Turn over the dragon and your storage rings. No need to lose your life over something so small." The leader of the group, an unassuming looking blonde human man, demanded.

"Rae is going to be pissed that she missed this." Cara joked.

"Compared to a handful of idiots, I think that her decoration efforts are more interesting." Karl agreed.

"DAMMIT! I said turn over the dragon and the storage devices! Do you think this is a joke?" The man shouted.

The Elf turned to look at Karl, who was petting Yewan’s head.

"Yes."

The group surged forward, and then the area vanished into an impenetrable miasma as the Captain activated a [Shadow Field] ability.

Then, the screaming started.

Karl summoned a pair of Oathbreakers, alongside the [Army Of The Dead]’s Spectral Knights, as well as a group of Lich Lords as the [Undead Minions].

The haunting laughter of the undead mixed with the manic laughter of Yewan, who was seeing the glory of his patron for the very first time. Karl and Cara were using Soul Sight to find the attackers, but the real damage was being done by Oathbreaker, and his damage mirroring ability that hit every one of the attackers at once.

Karl parried a blade with the Haint Claw, and then watched as a Spectral Knight impaled the man from behind, before throwing him off into the darkness.

There was shouting in the distance as the crew of the Elf’s ship rushed to rescue them, but the fight was over before anyone could intervene.

"And that is how you deal with ambushers. You’re a bit young for a System Interface yet, but I will teach you the appropriate skills when you are old enough." Karl explained to Yewan, who was visibly vibrating with excitement as the tattered souls of the dead flowed through him.

"{That is better than ice cream. Almost as good as roasted chicken.}" Yewan agreed as the Captain dropped her barrier.

Plus, the fact that they all died so quickly. There is definitely something off here," the security team leader noted. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
