Chapter 648-Rise of the Pirate King

Gulf of Aden, nameless ocean region.

While the alliance army was pillaging the island, the Sky Wolf Mercenary Organization underwent a huge change.

Before the battle, they had 25 thousand men and 150 ships. After the battle, they not only lost their base, but their squadron was basically destroyed.

What was worse was that their guild leader had unfortunately fallen in battle.

The entire pirate organization was leaderless.

At five in the afternoon, the remnant forces of the pirate organization finally gathered together. All in all, less than six thousand men survived and around 20 warships remained.

Along with them were the 600 members of the Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group led by Farrah.

After they learned that their guild leader had died, five people within the alliance stepped out to fight for the spot of leader. They were not willing to give in and fights even broke out. It seemed like this matter was going to end up in a bloody dispute.

This was basically the icing on the cake for the pirate organization, which was on the verge of collapse.

As they say, a thin camel was still bigger than a horse.

Even though the Sky Wolf Pirate Organization had taken heavy loses, they were still a large force in the Gulf of Aden that could not be underestimated. One must not forget that the other two pirate organization had also suffered heavy losses in this battle.

The balance between the three organizations in the Gulf of Aden had not been broken.

Hence, the throne was extremely tempting.

At this moment, Farrah, who was seemingly destined to be someone who could never shine again in the Gulf of Aden, stood up. He would start his journey to becoming the most brightly shining pirate king.

The pirate organization had many complaints toward Farrah. The Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group had not taken action at the crucial moment, which resulted in the changes to the tide of the battle.

Before this, the five heads were busy fighting for the throne, so they did not bother about Farrah and his men. Now, he actually stood out, wasn’t he courting death?

Actually no.

Farrah was a formidable character, and he especially loved to use schemes. Since he could work together with the three pirate organizations, especially the Sky Wolf Pirate Organization, he obviously had some trump cards of his own.

If not, the Sky Wolf Pirate Organization would have thrown him to feed the fishes when they were escaping.

Ouyang Shuo and the Somalia players did not understand the reason for Farrah’s betrayal.

As the guild leader of the biggest guild in Somalia, and the strongest expert in the country, Farrah was already destined for greatness. Why would he take the risk to collude with the pirates to harm the players of his country?

He took this risk because the pirate organizations could bring him immense profits.

During the 2nd year of Gaia, Farrah had colluded with the Sky Wolf Pirate Organization, one in the light, one in the dark, working together.

Farrah used the widespread influence of Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group to gather relevant merchant ships routes. Then, he passed this information to the pirate organization to allow them to rob the ships.

The riches were split 30/70, which was naturally a win-win situation.

In just a year, Farrah had obtained 150 thousand gold from these collusions.

At the same time, he was an extremely ambitious person with a massive appetite.

A year had passed, and only earning 30% of profits from working with the pirates was far too little to sate Farrah. He wanted to fully control them and make them a branch of the Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group, which would allow him to fully swallow all the riches.

Farrah personally decided on this unexpected decision in the end. With that, Farrah's power in the pirate organization grew so deep that it threatened the rule of Evsey.

Evsey realized this point and wanted to act against him. However, Farrah dangled a huge cake in front of them. He suggested that they worked together with the other two organizations to set a trap for the Somalia Navy.

The Somalia Navy was the biggest obstacle to the pirates robbing the merchant ships.

The three pirate organizations definitely could not reject the temptation of removing this eyesore all at once. Both sides naturally hit it up, which led to the events that happened in Ouyang Shuo’s last life.

The only change was the untimely arrival of the voyage squadron. If not, the tragedy of Somalia would have repeated itself.

Hence, Farrah had set up his string of schemes at the port to remove this threat and return things to their proper path.

At the same time, the appearance of the voyage squadron made Farrah develop some other thoughts. One had to say, ambitious people were all unable to control themselves.

After Evsey grew suspicious of Farrah and started to plan against him, Farrah had been thinking about how to remove him and plant a puppet as the head of the organization.

The appearance of the voyage squadron was a fortuitous encounter for these plans.

He was planning to use the voyage squadron to harm the pirate organization. He would use this chance to take complete control, killing two birds with one stone.

Unfortunately, he had not heard of an old lesson, ‘Do not play with fire unless you want to get burned.’

Farrah overestimated his ability to play with fire, underestimating the fire of the voyage squadron. Not only was he unable to make use of the fire but, he was burned instead.

The lesson was a truly grave one.

Fortunately for him, the heavens did not forsake him and granted him a chance. The death of Evsey sent the Sky Wolf Pirate Organization into chaos, which gave him a chance to rise once more.

His sharp senses told him that the chance to take control had arrived.

Although the various heads had qualms about him, he was the deputy leader and the second in command after all. After the death of the leader, his position was exceedingly important.

From the perspective of the pirates, he was a player, so he would definitely need to head ashore. He definitely could not complete with them for the position of leader.

However, they did not know that Farrah completely lacked a path to return.

The Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group had been uprooted from Somalia and even its headquarters were taken over by other players. If Farrah dared to step ashore, he would be beaten alive.

‘Country Traitor Farrah’ would be a nail that was forever implanted onto the pillar of Somalia’s history.

It truly described the statement of, ‘One moment of carelessness might cause one to lose the plot.’

……

After Farrah stood out, the five heads stopped in their tracks, solving this internal conflict. That night, Farrah passionately invited the five to the boat to discuss the future of the pirate organization.

With different intentions and thoughts, at 7 PM, the five of them accepted the invitation.

As the second mysterious leader of the pirate organization, Farrah had his own pirate ship. Apart from sailors, there were the 600 remaining Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group members.

They had understood the tough situation and tragic treatment of their friends still in the country. Unavoidably, they still felt bitter toward their guild leader Farrah.

It was Farrah's plan that pushed them into the depths.

However, Farrah was their only hope now. Only by following him would they have a chance to live. Going back was just heading for a dead end.

With that, one could see how smart and well-planned his decision was.

‘The weak have a reliance on others. As long as we do not push them too far and give them hope, they will listen.’ This was Farrah's life motto.

On the battlefield, for the members of the Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group to all decisively follow him and betray their country, it was enough to show his incredibly high prestige.

Without mentioning other reasons, at least in the case of bribing and convincing others, he deserved praise.

Before dinner, the guild leader once again gave them some instructions and sent them some hope. After listening to his plan, the other small group leaders all had fires in their eyes; their determinations were ignited.

"Let's do this!"

……

Within the cabin, Farrah was still discussing with the five heads. As they continued to drink, the cloud of the defeat seemed to disappear as the alcohol reached their heads.

It was the case of, ‘We have wine today so let’s get drunk, the problems of tomorrow, we will leave till tomorrow.’

However, they did not know that this was a total Hongmen Feast.

Farrah obviously did not know of the original Hongmen Feast, but as a born schemer, he understood the concept and came up with a similar plan.

After three rounds had passed, Farrah suddenly smashed a glass, creating an ear-piercing Huang Dang! sound.

"Eh?"

The five of them were already drunk; suddenly, they saw 20 assassins entering the cabin, charging right at them.

The cold blades shone, their killing intent obvious.

At this time, their drunkenness had completely disappeared, and they broke out in cold sweat. They wanted to pick up their weapons to retaliate, but it was already too late.

It took less than five minutes; in such a short time, all of them fell. They were chopped down by the players and died right on the spot.

With that, the pirate organization truly had no leader.

Since their heads were murdered, the pirates naturally caused a ruckus, grumbling about wanting to take revenge.

It seemed like chaos would ensue.

Just at this moment, the spies that Farrah had planted in the pirate organization showed themselves. They acted, subduing the few who were making the most noise while cheering for Farrah to take over.

"In crisis, only he can lead us out of this."

When the pirates saw this situation, they looked around, unable to find a glimmer of hope. Finally, they accepted reality. In truth, the pirates were a bunch that could not be trusted, and they did not pay much attention to righteousness.

With that, Farrah smoothly became the guild leader, giving way to his rise as a pirate king.
