Cobra Unit (Part 2)

Kerry decided that he didn't want to keep seeing these ugly mugs and planned to visit the Dimensional Exchange next time to see if he could buy some Tiger Force balaclavas. He'd wear one from now on.

When the City Guards saw these ferocious pirates being untied by their Lord, they almost wet themselves.

In the eyes of these City Guards, these ferocious pirates were taciturn, with fierce expressions, following the Lord's side. They looked like thugs following their boss to go beat people up.

"My Lord, what is this? They are all ferocious pirates, you can't trust them," a City Guard said to Kerry with a trembling voice, kindly reminding him.

"It's fine, they will be my direct subordinates from now on. I will use a powerful monetary offensive to make these pirates, who only care about money, reform and become my obedient subordinates. By the way, go find Butler Carson and tell him to prepare 500 balaclavas for these pirates. With their looks, these guys can easily scare people, so it'll be better to cover them up," Kerry said, pointing to an ordinary pirate.

This pirate didn't look special; everyone had ugly faces.

But he was significantly different from before. The City Guard remembered this pirate. Every time they made eye contact before, he would curse and his eyes looked like a wolf dog ready to attack at any moment.

But now he seemed very quiet. Although his eyes weren't unfocused, they lacked any sense of direction, as if he was looking everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

The City Guard suddenly felt a chill run down his neck. Damn it, why did it feel like these pirates had become weirdly sinister under the Lord's monetary offensive?

With his heart pounding, the City Guard quickly left to find Carson to deliver the order.

The other City Guards also wanted to leave, but since the Lord hadn't said anything, they all looked at Kerry pitifully.

In their opinion, if a monetary offensive was reliable, the pirates in the kingdom would have long been converted by the King's money, and it wouldn't be their Lord's turn to convert them.

Perhaps these pirates were just taking advantage of the Lord's kindness and ignorance. They might attack them once they regained their strength.

Most of these City Guards planned to find an excuse to go home and take their families away from the island for a while.

Kerry, of course, didn't know what these City Guards were thinking. After experimenting with the nanobots in the mine, he had become a bit overconfident.

Suddenly, he had over 160 fierce, fearless, and pain-resistant subordinates. His sense of security instantly soared, and he even felt like finding someone to bully.

He called two City Guards and ordered the obedient troops to stand by. Kerry went to Edward's cell, which had been bothering him. Among all the pirates imprisoned in the mine, only Edward had the treatment of a private cell.

It wasn't for any other reason; it was purely because the guy looked like he was dying, and it was out of humanitarianism that he received such treatment.

As for why he was bothered, it was naturally about the pirate captain's treasure. Did he know about it?

If he was saved but didn't know, wouldn't it be a wasted effort? But it also seemed too cruel to let him die like this, even though his own subordinates had injured him like this, he was a pirate.

Save him or not? Kerry looked at Edward with a complex expression, falling into silence for a moment.

Edward felt like he was dying. The infection in his wounds caused a persistent high fever. Even with the physique of a Level 2 Warrior, he couldn't resist it for long without any signs of improvement.

Instead, he was getting weaker. It seemed his tragic life was going to end miserably and unnoticed in this mine.

Perhaps it was because he was close to death that he became unusually clear-headed, or perhaps he sensed someone entering but no further action was taken for a long time. Edward slightly raised his head. It turned out to be the target this time, the 17-year-old island Lord.

Was he going to be hanged? Nobles usually dealt with pirates by hanging, right?

When Kerry saw Edward look up at him, his eyes filled with lifelessness, he inexplicably softened.

He took out his mobile phone, shook it a few times, and dialed Medical Unit 1.

"I'm in the southern mine, come over here." It was a simple command, but it could save a life. Even if this guy might become an obedient subordinate later, Kerry felt he couldn't just watch him die in front of him.

"I've arranged for someone to save you. I hope you can be useful to me," Kerry said to Edward, then sat aside, waiting for Medical Unit 1.

"Save me? Why? How can I be useful?" Edward suddenly thought of his betraying captain, Hook, and felt miserable. A guy even pirates would abandon, how could he be useful to a noble? Would he be fed to the fish for entertainment?

"I heard you had a chance to escape, but you were betrayed and abandoned by your captain at the dock, and that's how you were finally captured."

Kerry didn't answer Edward's question. Instead, he wanted to provoke him verbally, hoping to ignite his hatred for the captain and then get him to reveal the location of the captain's treasure.

"So what? Do you think saying that will make me loyal to you?" Edward combined Kerry's words, thinking Kerry wanted to recruit him as his noble lackey.

It was wishful thinking. He was forced to become a pirate because of nobles. There were no good nobles.

"Let's treat you first. The doctor coming this time is very skilled and will ensure you're back on your feet in no time." Kerry didn't answer Edward. Seeing Medical Unit 1 arrive, he arranged for treatment of his injuries and condition first.

Edward thought these nobles would use saving his life as leverage, demanding his oath of loyalty first. He didn't expect this noble to be so generous, offering benefits before discussing other matters.

Edward certainly didn't want to die, he just hated nobles even more. Now that he didn't have to die, he would cooperate with the treatment.

In fact, it was just an external wound infection and a persistent high fever. For an advanced robot like Medical Unit 1, it was not a problem at all. In less than 10 minutes, including debridement surgery, wound suturing, and fever reduction, it was all done. However, the weak Edward had fallen into a deep sleep. It seemed he would have to discuss the pirate captain's treasure next time.

Kerry arranged for two obedient subordinates with Level 1 strength to guard Edward and then left the mine.

Miner Guard No. 1 had already been waiting there for a long time.

"Miner Guard No. 1, take all the Miner Robots and Miner Guards No. 2-4 to the copper mine area and mine at full capacity. Miner Guard No. 5, stay behind and collect all the smelting backpacks. In this mine, smelt copper at full capacity. Also, this mine might not keep up with our mining speed. Miner Guard No. 5, dig a few more tunnels as warehouses when you have time."

He simply arranged for all 15 mining robots. He also needed to arrange for some obedient troops to transport the ore. Using them meant he didn't have to worry about leaks.

Kerry looked up at the obedient pirate subordinates waiting there.

He needed to give this army a name. This was currently his strongest force, and it had to be impressive, meaningful, and inspire fear.

Finally, after a full 16 seconds of thought, Kerry decided to call these obedient pirate subordinates the Cobra Unit.

As for the meaning, it was naturally inspired by the faction that invented the nanobots. That terrorist faction was called Cobra.
