Chapter 71: Chapter 69 - Invading the Castle
A big group of more than 150 Pirates quickly made its way towards the castle of the Fokke family.
Any guard they met on the way was killed and looted by Sheyan.
After a little while, the group reached the castle of the Fokke family.
A group of guards could be seen being rallied at the gate of the castle by a refined young man.
"Your lord Fokke still hasn't come back after such a long time, I am afraid those pesky insects are much harder to deal with than we thought, so I will be taking command now, get ready we will capture those insects and hang their bodies at the Turtuga port to dry under sea." The refined young lord spoke.
"YES SI- WAIT! Who are those people!?" The guards exclaimed loudly as they saw the group of Pirates coming from the distance.
Young man turned around and looked at the pirates who were holding strange weapons in their hands and making their way towards the castle.
His expression instantly became solemn.
"PIRATES ARE ATTACKING, GET IN FORMATION. DEFEND THE CASTLE!!!" The young man commanded loudly.
Guards immediately got in a formation, some guards ran back inside the castle to ring the bell of danger to inform other guards and the members of the Fokke family.
Sheyan looked at the guards who were like ants in a hot pot and smiled.
"LITTLE ONES!! FIRE!!!" Sheyan also commanded loudly.
Pirates quickly moved side by side, some bent down on one knee and made space for the people behind them.
Sheyan smiled, he taught this tactic to his subordinates while coming to the castle, so more people could shoot at the same time.
After getting in position, pirates opened fire at the guards, who were still trying to get in formation and lighting up their muskets.
The biggest disadvantage of these guards were these muskets because these muskets required the shooter to put one bullet manually inside the barrel, then lighting the small thread at the start of the barrel to fire a bullet, after firing this one bullet it needed almost one minute to clean the barrel and repeat the process to fire the next round.
But in this one minute, Sheyan's Pirates could fire thousands of bullets without stopping at all.
Weapons of this era can never compete with the weapons of the future after all.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
Sound of gunshots kept ringing all over the place and in just one minute, Sheyan's subordinates killed all the standing guards at the door of the castle.
Blood was spilled all over the place, the whole gate got dyed in crimson. The smell of blood wafted in the air along with the smell of gun powder.
Pirates stopped firing and the liquid metal bullets slithered back to them.
Sheyan looked at the scene and once again felt that his precious thoughts were right, with such an army he can really do whatever he wants in this world of pirates.
Sheyan turned to his subordinates and spoke. "Prepare to enter the castle and don't let down your guard, there are many deadly traps and hidden snares inside this castle. Shoot directly if you see anything amiss."
"AYE AYE CAPTAIN!" Pirates hollered excitedly.
New members of Sheyan's pirate group finally felt the strength of Sheyan, with these magical weapons in hand even kids can rule over this island, let alone then. And Sheyan is the one who can provide this power to anyone he wants. All of them felt enthusiastic about following such a captain.
Sheyan entered the castle with his subordinates.
Pirates walked cautiously behind Sheyan, with guns gripped tightly in their hands.
They crossed the first corridor and found themselves at an interaction. Sheyan randomly selected the left side and started to walk.
They kept moving from one corridor to another but no person could be found at all.
Sheyan frowned but then remembered something.
Sheyan turned to Charl and Krist and spoke.
"Charl Krist, find where they are hiding."
"Yes sir." Charl and krist replied and opened their thermal sight.
They looked around and found the sources of heat in three locations.
"Sir, We have found them, there are 63 humans under the floor 50 metres on our right, 100 humans on the same floor 100 metres ahead of us and 30 people are scattered at different locations on the top floor." Krist replied.
Sheyan nodded with a smile.
And pirates marveled at the abilities of the two women following their Captain.
Sheyan looked down and spoke to Charl "Charl, blast the floor."
"Yes sir" Charl replied and transformed her hand into the laser blaster.
She pointed it towards the floor 50 metres away.
A big ball made of electric current formed quickly in front of the muzzle.
*ZIPP*
The electricity ball quickly made its way towards the floor and crashed into it.
*BOOOOOM!!!*
A loud explosion rang making the whole castle tremble for a moment.
"Ahhhh" "those bastards came back" "help me"
Screams came from the hole Charl made in the floor.
Sheyan and pirates quickly made their way towards the hole and looked inside it.
Many guards could be seen inside it, they were surrounding some females in maid uniform and 2 men and 3 women in aristocratic clothes, seemingly protecting them from the danger.
"Kill all the guards and capture those 2 men and all the women." Sheyan ordered.
Pirates immediately encircled the hole and aimed their guns at the guards.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
Gunshots rang, scaring the maids and women to scream loudly.
But in just 10 or so seconds, all the guards fell down with bloody holes in their bodies.
"50 people go down and capture them now, they should know the way to come back up." Sheyan ordered.
Pirates quickly jumped down. Although the distance between the ceiling and floor was 8 9 metres but these pirates seemed to be used to it, they jumped down without any fear and withstood the impact by offsetting the force by rolling their bodies.
Sheyan looked at the rest of the subordinates and ordered. "Let's go to the next location, follow me."
Sheyan started to move towards the next location, Charl and Krist informed about.
They encountered some pithole traps but they were easily found by Sheyan, after 5 minutes they found themselves at the start of a dark corridor.
"Sir, those people are hidden behind the left and right side of the Wall." Krist spoke to Sheyan.
Sheyan nodded and remembered this corridor from the original novel, The original Sheyan passed through this corridor with Scarface Harry and the pirates of Ammand's group, there are many archers hidden behind these walls, there are tiny holes in these walls, when invaders pass through the corridor, those hidden archers shoot arrows through the hole with the help pre-installed miniature crossbow like mechanisms.
"Let's deal with these people in the same way Scarface Harry dealt with them." Sheyan muttered and stepped inside the corridor.
There was no reaction from the wall, those soldiers were still waiting for more people to enter the corridor before killing everyone in one fell swoop.
Sheyan smirked and moved closer to the right wall.
"Flesh Blast"
Sheyan muttered lightly, instantly his right arm bulged to an unnatural degree, all nerves bulged and slithered on his arm, his explosive muscles told everyone that this arm contained very extraordinary power.
Sheyan knocked back his arm and gathered more power in his whole body, after preparing himself completely, he punched heavily on the wall.
*BOOOOM!!*
Everyone felt their ears go numb from the loud sound. The whole wall shrank back by more than a foot from the impact of Sheyan's punch, many cracks appeared on the wall and it seemed like it would crumble anytime now.
Blood gushed outside from the tiny holes on the wall, those archers Hidden behind the wall were crushed completely.
*swish* *swish* *swish*
Arrows gushed out from the wall on the other side and attacked Sheyan.
*Clink* *clink* *clink*
Those arrows fell on Sheyan's body but couldn't even break his skin instead a sound like they touched some hard metal rang in the corridor.
Sheyan's body was shining a golden lustre indicating that he has already activated his innate ability 'Golden Skin' increasing his defence to an all time high.
Sheyan moved to the other wall and once again activated his flesh explosion ability.
His hand once again bulged to an abnormal degree before he punched the wall once again.
*BOOOM!!*
This wall also shrank back by more than a foot and obliterated all the soldiers hidden behind the wall.
Pirates who were standing at the entrance of the corridor were still looking here in shock and disbelief.
"Wha-what is this power!?"
"Captian is too abnormal!"
"That wall should be at least 2 feet thick but it shrank back with just one punch from the captain."
Sheyan looked at the pirates with a smile and spoke.
"No time for dilly dallying, 30 members stay here and take out the corpses hidden behind the wall, 50 members go back to the gate of the castle and bring those corpses inside and store them in the main corridor for now."
"Yes captain, right away!" Pirates replied loudly.
Sheyan nodded and moved towards the main hall.
Charl and Krist followed him from behind along with the rest of the pirates.
Sheyan turned to Charl and Krist suddenly.
"There should be more guards hidden inside the castle, and there is still a group of guards at the roof, both of you go and deal with them, take 30 members with you and bring back the corpses of the rest of the guards." Sheyan spoke.
"Yes sir!" Charl and Krist answered and Randomly chose 30 members and left with them to find the other guards.
Only 10 people remained behind Sheyan.
They quickly made their way to the main hall.
After a little while, Sheyan and the rest of the pirates stepped inside a big hall, a grandiose table surrounded by equally grandiose chairs could be seen in the middle of the hall.
Sheyan moved to the most grandiose chair at the end of the table and sat down.
"Mhmm this chair is comfortable, little Fokke really knew how to enjoy himself."
Sheyan muttered in comfort.

20 minutes ago....
On an inconspicuous mountain of Turtuga port.
7 people were making their escape with the cover of dense forest.
"Boss, I don't think we are being chased anymore, should we take a rest." A burly guy with thick arms and buzz haircut spoke while looking at the person who was running in the lead.
"Keep running for 500 metres more, we will take a rest after that." The person in the lead replied, he had shoulder length silvery hair, he was wearing noble clothes and gave off a feeling like an 80s British noble.
"We really encountered a tough nut this time, we didn't complete the hidden mission, but lost almost 4 members of our party instead." A female spoke at this time, she had long brownish hairs tied up in a bun, had blue lustrous eyes and pink fluff lips. She radiated an intelligent and charming aura from her body. She was wearing a white floral shirt and tight blue knee pants, which highlighted her thick thighs and long legs.
"Who knew that Little Lord Fokke would be so fearsome, he never appeared in the movie, so we didn't have much information about him." A skinny black male grumbled in irritation.
"Don't worry, we still haven't failed completely, we still have a chance to complete the hidden mission." The man in the lead spoke at this time.
"Boss Nick, I can't run anymore, my stamina is almost over." A fatty caucasian male spoke.
"Okay, let's stop here for sometime, those guards don't seem to be chasing us anymore." The silver haired man called Boss Nick stopped running and spoke.
"Nick, what should we do now? We only got two more days of stay in this world." The Brunette female member voiced out.
Boss Nick looked at the brunette female member, his eyes shone with love and some different hidden emotions.
"Don't worry Sheryll, two days are enough for us to think of something, our core party members are still with us, those other four people were dispensable, they already did their role." Boss Nick spoke in a calm tone.
Sheryll's eyes narrowed a little at the word 'dispensable' but she didn't voice out her doubts, this world is her second world, she has already experienced the darkness of nightmare realm in her first world experience and knows what to say and what not to say, she kept her mouth and closed and listened calmly.
"Boss, we can't attack the castle once again, those guards are too perverted, we can't deal with them but our mission objective is inside the castle." The burly guy with thick arms interjected.
"No that's where you are wrong, we can attack the castle once more." Boss Nick smirked and replied.
"Those guards are searching for us all over the Turtuga port right now, if some of us lead them to the other part of the island, then the rest of us can sneak inside the castle once again, we can quickly search for our mission objective and get out of this island." Boss Nick spoke out his plan.
"But.. Boss, who will be the bait- I mean who will lead the guards to the other part of the island." Skinny black male ask tentatively.
"I think, Madson, Krueger, Don should be best suited for this task, since they got the highest agility among us, they can easily make their escape once they are done leading the guards away." Boss Nick smiled and replied calmly.
"What! Why should I go!" The guy named Madaon asked back loudly.
"Yeah, why should we lead those guards away, I think Caldas should do it, he has the highest strength and Physique attributes among us." The guy named Don also spoke.
While the third guy named Krueger just looked on silently with hesitation on his face.
"Are you questioning Boss Nick's decision?" Caldas, the burly guy with thick arms, lifted his eyebrow and asked in a ruff and heavy tone.
Madson stepped back in fear as he saw Caldas's scary face.
"We- We are just asking why choose us, If we are talking about agility then isn't it Sheryll who got the highest attributes in agility." Madson stuttered and quickly changed the target to the only female member of the party, Sheryll.
"Although Sheryll's agility is very high but her second highest attribute is Intelligence and she has learnt buff skills, which is very important for us while sneaking inside the castle, so she can't lead the guards away." Boss Nick frowned a little and replied lightly.
"But-"
*BANG!"
*spuch~"
A gun shot rang from the distance and a bullet pierced through the skull of the Madson.
His eyes widened in extreme horror and he slowly fell down in front of the other members.
All of the people standing around felt a chill run down their spine. They quickly moved their feet and made their escape.
"Fuck! My marksmanship is still too bad, I wanted to hit his legs but I accidentally shot through his head." A voice came from behind them.
"Mongor, you shouldn't use the gun this time, captain asked us to bring them back alive but you killed one." Another voice spoke.
"I will ask forgiveness from the captain after I go back, all of you quickly catch them for me!" Mongor spoke and rushed towards the escaping contestants quickly.
Mongor and the pirates have asked around, someone told them that they saw guards going to the forest while chasing some people, so they made their way in the forest. They met some guards while trying to find these people wanted by their captain and swiftly killed them before making their way through the forest once again.
