The Invasion of the crimson Leviathan had been unexpected.
Captain Crimson had not even noticed them in his path as he sailed the ship.
All of a sudden from seemingly nowhere, they had appeared.
This made the crew fearful, but they were not even granted the opportunity to enter into fighting stance.
They were all taken unawares.
Iron Back werewolves landed on different parts of the ship's deck, surrounding the crew.
"So its true, what they say." Ulric walked forward, still in his Werewolf form.
He was big and broad, and although Captain Crimson was a really wide man, Ulric in his Werewolf form was easily twice his size.
Seeing how he even towered over their captain made the crew all the more afraid.
Captain Crimson on the other hand, swallowed hard.
"So, I heard from a little birdie back at Skull town that you were the Scum responsible for bringing in the demons." Ulric went straight to the point, "is that true?"
Captain crimson panicked, but as a shrewd man, he coughed a bit and then proceeded to give Ulric a very broad smile.
"My dear Mr Iron Back Werewolf, firstly, this vessel is protected by the blessing of an Elder Witch, by the name of Elder Witch Glenn. And secondly, we don't know what you are talking about."
Ulric could not help but crack a brief chuckle.
"Do you take me a fool sorcerer? I have wondered these waste lands for many years, and I'm fully aware of every place and domain that has a Great demon level existence in it. And I have never heard of an Elder Witch named Glenn. Are you so afraid of death that you decide to spit useless threats to my face?"
"Well, My dear sir. She is very new to the Waste lands, and would prefer her isolation. I suggest that if you do not want to ignite her wrath, you get the FUCK off my vessel."
Those words agitated the Werewolves around, and one of them wanted to pounce on Captain Crimson and teach him a lesson, but Ulric raised a hand to stop him.
Ulric suddenly broke into loud laughter, "You know, I have heard things about you Captain Crimson. I know this front you are putting up is an illusion. At heart, you are just a really a greedy coward. So I'll make this easy for you. Tell us about the Half-borns you transported and the loot you took from the Wreckage of the 'Scorpion's Wrath' and the 'Cobra's Revenge' and I and my ever hungry brothers will leave your ship and let you continue on your journey in peace."
The moment those names were mentioned, Captain Crimson's eye twitched a bit.
This was movement that Ulric took note of.
Instantly, he was sure that his guess had been right. Truly, these pirates had what he was looking for. Or at least some knowledge of it.
Captain Crimson swallowed a bit. Truly, he wanted to talk, and he would have, but the memory of Lenny, mowing through the both humans and mutate beasts with his swords and pistols flashed in his head.
Even now, he could still remember the look on Lenny's face as he engaged in the slaughter. That look had sent chills through out his body, to places that he did not even know he could feel chills.
Captain Crimson was a coward through and through, and the presence that Ulric carried was one that was menacing, but when compared in the Captain's head to Lenny, he was just a toddler.
Captain Crimson had always been one to trust his instincts. After all, against all odds and danger in the waste lands, it had always preserved his life.
This was a kind of gift for his consistent cowardice. He could instantly sense when the odds were against him, and right now, everything told him that the odds were in his favor.
Even though it clearly did not look as if everything was happening in his Favor, it did not matter. He was a person that would always stick to his own ways.
"I don't know what you are talking about?" Captain Crimson stated clearly.
"Oh really," a voice came from behind him. It was Gadu.
"Then can you explain this!" Gadu lifted one of the pirates upside down and from the pirates pockets fell all manner of things, but what caught everyone's attention was the presence of three crystal clear magic stones.
Captain Crimson frowned at this. Apparently, his men had stolen some of the magic stones from the Treasure chest.
However, he was not surprised by this.
"What do you expect? We are pirates and this is the Waste lands. of course we have our private stash of magic stones!"
"Yes, you probably do, but not magic stones of this purity. Everyone in the waste land knows that not just any mutated beast can produce such quality magic stones. Only a Primordial beast can produce this." Gadu added.
Captain crimson turned to him and chuckled a bit, "Then I guess that means that we got lucky."
Ulric frowned, unable to hold back his anger anymore, he grabbed Captain Crimson by the throat and then regardless of the captain's size and weight, he lifted him up in the air, "Now you listen to me, you desert frog! I am not here for games. I know you exchanged a whole box of these Magic stones for money. I am not interested in touching your wealth. What I want to know, is where is the Eye of the primordial beast?"
This time around, Captain Crimson was genuely surprised. He did not know anything about any Primordial eye. However, Ulric would not have this.
He was already steaming with anger.
"Since you wont talk, let's see your elder witch protect you now," He turned to Gadu, "Kill all of them!"
The order had come abruptly, taking the pirates by surprise.
Instantly, the first Werewolf jumped in the air for a juicy bite of a pirates neck.
However, there was suddenly a rumble in the sky, and black lightning struck the Werewolf.
