Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: Counterattack Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: Counterattack The female pirate's eyes suddenly began to shine. If what the officer was saying was true, the treatment Starfire received was exceptionally good. Not to mention the salary, the key was the future security, which was truly one of a kind.
Pirates always danced on the edge of the knife and their lives were unpredictable. With good luck, they could feast for a while; with bad luck, they had to endure hunger and suffer.
More importantly, if a pirate was injured and disabled, forget about any future security–such a pirate would be buried at sea the next day, and his possessions would be devoured by countless others.
“If that's the case, I can help persuade them,” the female pirate said hurriedly. “Of course, I have no delusions of continuing to be their leader.”
“You are quite good. You actually made them surrender. This is not the style of pirates at all.” To be honest, the female pirate's style was not like the ancient gods' pirates he had in mind.
“If there were a choice, who would want to be a pirate?” the female pirate said with a desolate smile: “They were as good as dead already, discarded, and perhaps joining you isn't such a bad thing.”
“It is impossible for you to command all of your former subordinates. Starfire is in dire need of people now, and the two major ports have almost no defensive forces. If the training reaches a satisfactory level, we'll need to staff the guard forces for the two ports. Moreover, I want to establish a maritime guard force for this port, and I want you to be the captain of this guard force. What do you think?” Li Yao truly valued the female pirate.

Through the Titan's Eye, Li Yao saw the qualities of the subordinate he had subdued, and his eyes were gleaming with value.
Compared to his current Guard Captain.

The gap between the two was simply like heaven and earth. If the female pirate was developed well, she could grow into a faction-level leader, while Mosangke at his peak would only reach advanced level.
And the expertise they possess, the female pirate is hardly just a pirate, she's practically from a military aristocracy. Of course, Li Yao had not heard of the female pirate in his previous life, obviously she must not have risen to prominence; otherwise, such talent would have been the very top among all pirates.
Of course, Mosangke's role is also important, such as being responsible for training the soldiers, which is his forte, but now Starfire is too short of people to be that fussy.
“You also said that you were abandoned by the Cyclops, just discarded pieces. Such scum, having a perfect successor like you and not nourishing you but instead trying to clip your wings, is truly seeking its own doom,” Li Yao snorted coldly. “A talent like you, of course, I want you to serve Starfire. Of course, I won't force you, but you must have some understanding of Starfire. Although it is weak now, it may well grow into a towering tree in the future.”
The female pirate smiled bitterly, “My pirates are elites among half of all pirates, yet they are no match for you, which is already remarkable. Lord of Liao Yuan, Minnie pledges loyalty to you and only hopes that you will treat them well.”
Having said this, the female pirate knelt on one knee, and Li Yao, overjoyed, lifted her up.
Subduing so many pirates and gaining such a qualified subordinate was indeed an unexpected delight.
Li Yao asked, “You mentioned just now that a new recruit bought off the Cyclops with a large sum of money, and Cyclops took that opportunity to clip your wings?”
“My father and Cyclops were once leaders of their respective pirate gangs, but my father died an old warrior, and before he passed away, he entrusted me and the pirate gang to Cyclops. Cyclops only managed to gain a foothold here by leveraging the foundations of the two pirate gangs. Aside from a few pirate kings, his strength was considered rather strong. But as I grew up, my father's former men gradually leaned towards me, and even a magic powered ship that my father had discovered was delivered into my hands, and Cyclops increasingly became wary of me.”
“However, he once swore on his soul to the sea god that he would not harm me, so bound by his oath and for the stability of the pirate gang, he treated me like a daughter on the surface, but in reality constantly tried to suppress and restrict me. This time, he took the opportunity of an assignment from a few new recruits and sent my men to their deaths. He couldn't bear to sacrifice the Demon-Powered Battleship, so he just told me to attack the port at all costs, which was an impossible task; I could only run away myself.”
Li Yao nodded in understanding, while Tianxiang kept casting healing spells to replenish the female pirate's health.
“It's now the middle of the night, do we continue to clear the wilderness?” the Unparalleled Sorceress asked.
“We can't worry about clearing the wilderness now, we have more important things to do,” Li Yao said, looking at the warship that was slowly appearing on the horizon. “Our warship has arrived.”
“Now the forums are full of Schadenfreude, and our big battle has been livestreamed by interested broadcasters,” the Unparalleled Sorceress saw a message.
“Let them broadcast,” Li Yao revealed a sly smile. These idiots, how could they understand the importance of NPCs? Not to mention I'm confident in achieving the first kill, even if I don't, what difference does it make? Compared to that, what's a first kill against an army of over twenty thousand?
“Lord, where are the pirates, damn pirates?” the Naval Commander of Starfire anxiously shouted before even arriving.
In the past month, Starfire had meticulously planned the functions of NPCs, as these original naval men were conquered by the excellent life and strong vitality of Starfire, along with shared hardships and battles fought together, fully integrating into the territory, making Starfire entirely regularized for easy management.
“The port battle has already ended,” Li Yao simply stated.
The faces of the Naval Commander and his men fell with disappointment. They had rushed here eagerly for the big battle, as battles meant military exploits, and the rewards for military exploits in Starfire were very generous.
“You don't need to be disappointed. The port is safe, but we have other wars to fight, and you, the navy, are indeed the main force,” Li Yao said.
“Rest assured, Lord, the boys have been longing for a grand battle, and we guarantee we won't let you down,” the people on the warship rejoiced.
The female pirate's expression changed: “Are you planning to counterattack the One-Eyed Pirate Gang?”
Li Yao nodded: “Now is the time when the Cyclops Pirates are at their weakest. Since he dares target Starfire, then I will make the Cyclops Pirate Gang completely disappear, to deter the petty criminals. Otherwise, who knows how many small-time pirates will foolishly attack Starfire.”
Li Yao saw the female pirate's uneasy face: “Don't worry, I will not ask you for any information about the Cyclops Pirate Gang. You don't have to do anything in this battle, just watch.”
Li Yao directly jumped onto the Demon-Powered Battleship: “Leave twenty thousand members to guard the two bases, everyone else get on board, follow me into battle.”…
