The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 3259: Windrider

Due to the proximity of the two arks, the Kolor Ark arrived at Lunasad's location in less than two days, but the ark already had a guest, or rather, a prodigal son.

"The Eternal Court? The Phoenix King? What the hell is that."

Wearing ornate armor with storm patterns and a pristine white trench coat, Karushin Baharudo, with a tall and dashing figure and long white hair tied on top of his head, his left eye replaced by a prosthetic, stood by the observation window of the Vampire transport, watching the approaching Lunasad, while his right hand constantly caressed the hilt of the longsword at his waist.

'Windrider' Karushin Baharudo was originally a sailor on the Kolor Ark, sailing in the void for many years, until he could no longer endure the boring and tedious days and the strong urge to adventure. In pursuit of himself, Karushin voluntarily left his people and became a wanderer, spending five hundred years becoming the leader of the Twilight Sword pirate band, expanding and strengthening this ancient pirate group.

To date, the Twilight Sword pirate band has nearly a hundred warships of various sizes and more than four thousand members. They launch raids at will, targeting mainly humans, including the Empire, Chaos, or other races of pirates. Their choices are arbitrary, without a very strong sense of purpose, simply wanting to do so.

However, including Karushin, many members of the Twilight Sword are former residents of Kolor. They are still loyal to their homeland, willing to occasionally accept the advice and guidance of a Kolor seer, and help the ark in war. They will also provide full assistance when the ark is in danger. Although the Twilight Sword pirate band strives to maintain its independence, their connection with the Kolor Ark is so deep that it transcends the relationship of allies.

However, this is not to say that they have no conflicts. Karushin is clever and cunning, but easily bored and emotionally volatile. Most of the time, he views humans with a subtle and teasing attitude, like a person looking at an animal that can perform interesting tricks. At other times, he feels that humans are nothing more than pests, only worthy of being eliminated.

In general, he believes that humans are worthless creatures and useless to the ark's plans.

But this clearly conflicts with Ayla Ashbel's philosophy, but no matter how the two argue, Ayla will eventually ease Karushin's views, allowing him to cooperate with her plans. Although some people think this stems from the wisdom of the seer, some pirate members also believe that it is more because their pirate prince may have different feelings for the beautiful blind seer, and that Karushin hates humans so much because the seer Ayla is too close to humans.

Of course, both views are difficult to confirm, but after learning that the Word Bearers besieged the ark and Ayla risked her life, Karushin immediately abandoned the half-executed looting operation and rushed back to the ark world, but was ambushed by the Thornsons pirate band on the way. These Ghomorr marauders have deep grudges with the Twilight Sword pirate band. The two sides have had more than a dozen serious bloody conflicts due to target and spoils issues. Although the Twilight Sword has been dominant most of the time, the Thornsons have not suffered fatal blows.

For this reason, Karushin did not rush back to the ark until the fighting was over.

"Prince, this Eternal Court has been rumored for years, and I heard that it is very powerful. Some barbaric kingdoms that we have exchanged with have sent envoys to them. This time, they have stretched their hands so far. I am afraid they are not kind."

Hearing his subordinate's words, Karushin sighed softly.

"There's no way. Some people just don't want to be free people and rush to be subjects."

"I heard that the seer Ayla asked the Eternal Court for reinforcements this time?"

"I heard that the Phoenix King is not an Eldar?"

"The Word Bearers came aggressively, but they were defeated so quickly. The Eternal Court seems to be really strong."

Listening to the noisy voices behind him, Karushin suddenly punched the observation window.

"Shut up! All of you shut up!"

In an instant, all the voices disappeared.

Soon, the Vampire transport landed, and Karushin walked out of the cabin in a hurry. After seeing the people of the Kolor Ark, the first thing he said was.

"Where is the seer Ayla."

"The seer Ayla and His Highness the Phoenix King are conducting the final inspection of the safety of the eco-zone."

Karushin frowned, then strode forward. Along the way, he saw some Kolor residents moving things, and there were also soldiers with the Eternal Court logo standing guard. When they approached the ark earlier, they were questioned by the Eternal Court fleet. Karushin had to admit that the scale of that fleet was very large, especially the main battleships, which were far beyond the level that normal arks could compare to. The fleet commander of the Eternal Court was a person named Salannia. She carefully inquired about Karushin's identity and confirmed it with the Kolor Ark before letting him go.

Although he was very angry, there was no way, who told others to be strong.

All the way to the eco-zone in the middle of the only ark, this was originally an artificial lake, very large in area, surrounded by large forests and artificial dwarf hills and other landscapes. Many residents would choose to live in this area, but after the cataclysm, all the water in the lake was discharged outside the ark due to the activation of the safety mechanism. Now only a barren area and some complete large residences remain.

Since the eco-zone leads to many areas, the safety here is also the top priority. Sochian personally brought the Phoenix Guard to inspect, but unexpectedly there was a new discovery. There was actually a shrine to the dream goddess Lilith here. The shrine enshrined more than a dozen moonstones and Lilith's jade. More importantly, with the Lilith shrine, you can quickly return to the court.

"Stop."

As soon as Karushin arrived at the archway of the east side corridor of the eco-zone, two battle halberds blocked his way.

"His Highness is here, no entry without permission."

Karushin squinted his eyes and glanced around. There were four warriors wearing such flamboyant armor. Their faces were hidden under the visors of the phoenix helmets, and the gems inlaid in the armor seemed to be burning.

Just standing there, you can feel the powerful force emanating from these warriors.

"I am Karushin Baharudo, the pirate prince of the Twilight Sword, here to see the seer Ayla."

"No such notification has been received."

"Then can you go and notify now?"

The other party remained unmoved and did not respond.

This arrogance completely angered Karushin Baharudo, who was already in a bad temper. His hand slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, and he pursed his lips slightly. The pirates who were familiar with him knew that this was a signal that the prince was going to get angry, so they also touched their weapons.

But before he could do anything, all four Phoenix Guards turned to look at him.

"If you dare to act rashly, you will be destroyed! Retreat quickly!"

"Heh, what big words."

"Who is being presumptuous."

A cold voice sounded, and the four Phoenix Guards turned around and lowered their heads.

"Commander."

Duran walked out of the archway and stopped twenty meters away from Karushin.

"Retreat, if you have something, go to the seer council of Kolor and let them convey it."
