Austin was still in a state of confusion. The enemy's four battleships had the effect of 400 warships! Under the firepower of the enemy, he had no ability to fight back and only had his flagship left!
Wait a minute! Wasn't he one of the ten kings of the King class Sea? How could he be beaten like this?
"They are so strong! Who are they? Are they Deaths?" Austin's eyes were full of horror, and the enemy's strength had exceeded his knowledge!
As he watched the four super warships slowly move towards him, Austin became increasingly nervous.
At this moment, something even more terrifying happened. More warships appeared in the distance, and their appearance was exactly the same as the four death god warships...
"They still have warships that haven't been deployed!?" Austin's subordinates were shocked, which meant that the enemy hadn't even used all their strength!
"Wait, what kind of warship is that? There are... planes on the deck?"
Finally, Austin saw the most terrifying existence - a larger battleship than the four Death battleships! The shape of the warship was completely different from that of a typical battleship, and more planes were parked on the deck, with completed missions landing on it from time to time.
Although there were no cannons visible on the ship, under the protection of the four Death battleships, this huge beast showed an unshakable king-like status.
Without any introduction needed, Austin was already sure that it was the leader of this entire fleet of steel ships, the big boss.
Soon, several helicopters brought the people from those ships to the King of the Mountain.
Raine and his crew landed.
The weapons system of the King of the Mountain was severely damaged, but Shobe and his team did not completely sink the ship, and there were still several hundred crew members on board.
They stood behind Austin, watching Raine and his team as if they were facing a great enemy.
Raine calmly walked up to Austin with White by his side. "You're Austin, right?" he asked.
Austin was on high alert. "Yes, and who are you guys? Why did you suddenly attack us? This is a violation of the Joint Declaration on Sea Battles by Major Forces in the King Class Sea!"
Raine shook his head. "Do I have to tell you before I attack you? And as for that Joint Declaration... I'm not a major force in the King Class Sea, so why should I follow that thing?"
Austin was momentarily speechless.
Raine didn't intend to waste any more words on him and got straight to the point. "You have two choices in front of you now. The first is to fight us with all the people and power you have here. If you win, you'll turn the tables. However, I have to warn you about something. If you choose to fight, you can refer to what happened to the Swamp King's crew. I don't leave many survivors."
"The second choice is to give me what I want, and I'll leave this ship to you."
"You have 10 seconds to decide. If you take too long, it means you choose the first option by default."
Raine was extremely dissatisfied with the system forcing him to choose a gift, and now he could finally let someone else experience this feeling.
"10, 9, 8..."
At this point, thousands of fuck were running wild in Austin's heart. This guy was too arrogant. How could he negotiate like this? He had to make a decision within 10 seconds! Was this gambling? This was a matter of destiny!
"3, 2, 1..."
"I choose!" Austin shouted, "The second option!"
Obviously, Austin didn't have much choice.
This team of this Death Fleet must be the same group that took down the Swamp King. Austin's strength was not much different from Charles's, and his advantage lay in the strength of his fleet. But now, his fleet no longer existed.
If they could easily take down the Swamp King, they could easily take down Austin's crew too!
Of course, Raine's confidence and strength during the negotiation also made Austin uncertain. With such a powerful fleet, it was unlikely that their crew was weak.
If they were really weak, their fleet would have been taken over by others long ago.
It could only be said that Austin's judgment was correct. Fortunately, they didn't choose to resist...
Raine nodded. "Not completely stupid."
Onebear and Twobear immediately led their men to search the captain's cabin for treasure. Soon, they found the treasure chest.
"Captain, we also found the map," Twobear reported to Raine as he brought the treasure chest to him.
As Onebear was returning, he suddenly stopped and frowned at the crew. "Hey, hand over all the pearls you have on you!"
Onebear, the professional looter, lived up to his name... and now, since all of the crew members were alive, he wouldn't let them go easily.
Two crew members followed Onebear, carrying a bag, and the crew of the Mountain King reluctantly threw their money bags into it.
This was quite a decent income.
There weren't too many pearls in the treasure chest, only around seventy to eighty thousand, so Raine only glanced at them before picking up a small wooden box from the chest.
Inside were several skill books and some other treasure maps. On top of it all, there was an opened cowhide envelope containing a map of the mirage area. Raine scanned it with his system.
Unfortunately, the Mountain King's map location couldn't be directly connected to the Swamp King's map. It seemed that they would have to find more maps.
Anyway, they had already obtained the Hill King's treasure map.
Austin quickly asked, "We gave you everything. Can you let us go now?"
Raine glanced at Austin and replied, "Although your reputation is pretty crappy, it's not bad compared to the Ten Kings. So... you can go, but it's best not to let me see you again. If you dare to be my enemy again, I won't go easy on you!"
...
After Raine and his crew left, the Mountain King's ship quickly fled.
But Raine didn't fully trust them. He dispatched an early warning aircraft with two extra fuel tanks to secretly track the Mountain King's ship. If they dared to play any tricks, Raine wouldn't let them get away with it.
Next, the most important thing was undoubtedly to salvage the treasure chests.
They now had nine ships, each with at least two hundred crew members, all of whom were mutants. This salvage speed was nothing short of terrifying.
After more than three hours, they found a total of 377 treasure chests, as well as a large number of materials such as metal and gunpowder.
Raine left the work of counting the loot to Avril, and he himself quickly replenished the ammunition for the four destroyers.
In the evening, everyone rested on the sea surface, gathering in the command tower of the aircraft carrier.
"Captain, this time we obtained a total of 2.3 million pearls, as well as 48 low-level skill books, 20 intermediate-level skill books, and 3 high-level skill books. We also got 18 intermediate-level treasure maps of the King class sea area."
"We also got 50 rare metal ingots, a design for a water-based hoverboard, and a bankbook from the Gold Foot Merchant Bank, worth 3.2 million."
"We also got a pass for the major powers in the King-class sea area and an invitation card for Pandora Island's annual meeting."
"Oh, and this... this is an invitation letter for the legendary lieutenant general Trajan's granddaughter's... contest for marriage?" Avril was a bit confused about what this invitation was. "It seems to be in a month."
"You mean Lieutenant General Trajan?!" Shobe and Charge King exclaimed in unison.
From their expressions, it seemed that they were very familiar with this legendary admiral.
