The night was dark, and the moon was in the new cycle. The darkness near the docks was only highlighted by the glow of the nearby taverns and the latrines along the piers that were a vast distance from each other. They only marked where the docks were and nothing more than that as guards patrolled in their armor.
Things were different here at night than in the City. The Guards patrolled the area, watching for things, and they wore heavy leather armor. Some wore bows with their swords, while others had shields mounted on their backs. The Corruption of their guard was nowhere close to the Empire, as these men looked attentive.
In the Night was where the criminals thrived, and with the dark streets, they never knew they were being watched. The Necromancers and I moved into our positions, waiting for the change in guards. They would walk and meet their relief halfway away, which was not far from their posts, and they would be able to see it. That did not mean it did not create blind spots, though, and the Moment those guards near the entrance of the piers left their station just a short distance away was when we moved.
Our movement over the street was planned and perfect as the Necromancers, the Lich, and I knew exactly what was going on. My work had already been done, and I had just had to assist with the last part of the journey. They would learn in the morning how everything shook out, but I was with the crew of Necromancers as the Lich moved into their position.
There was no way around it. There was a vulnerable gap, and silence was of the utmost importance. The Catcalls in the night at cheap hookers and whores as we snuck past the guards with all the Necromancers was perfect. They were all breathing heavily though with the first stealth run and now down on the side where fishermen and Cutters stored their boats. As a massive Galley was using the pier, it was empty, and we all put our feet into the dirty sea water and I looked at them all.
"As planned, swim to the edge and wait for my signal before climbing up yourselves." I snapped in a quiet voice, and they all nodded. The cold, salty water embraced us in the dark, and we all began to swim. No one paddled loudly, and only the sound of the tide hitting the pier made noise. It took time to swim the distance down the pier, and my equipment dragged me back. The Galley was not too far from the shore, but when we got there, what I expected to be there seemed to be gone.
Shit, There was supposed to be some rope on the sides that seemed to have either fallen off or been pulled in. The Lich said it had been here, but now it wasn't. Not that it would hamper me Too much. I grabbed my whip and began to push agility into my feet as I started to paddle hard. My body rose straight out of the water just enough to bend my body the way I needed, and my Leather whip snapped out and wrapped around the thick wooden railing. In return, I heard a snap as it finished wrapping around the railing. I cringed at the loud noise, but it should not have been an issue if my plan worked earlier.
I grabbed the whip and started climbing up the ship, smiling as I saw no one on night watch. I climbed over the railing and was on the deck a moment later. I then bent down and moved straight to the captain's cabin. I grinned as I saw the cup spilled and him with another at the table, lying in the soup I had poisoned earlier today.
The delivery was simple. The Cook of this ship was someone the Necromancers scoped out for me. When they did, I had a Succubus with many gold coins in their hand, and I went and talked to him. She then had a copious amount of sex with the cook in his cabin making the men jealous that he found someone so willing. The Succubus even told me that the Captain congratulated the man and she put the 'Prank' seasoning into his food. Now with a massive dose of rat poison.
Honestly, I went overboard with how much I had her put in, but it was a large pot of soup for all of them. It was a kilogram of salt, she thought. It was actually a lethal dose of poison that was more than enough to kill the entire crew. What she did not know, though, would not hurt her, and I was already planning on hiring her for one of my new businesses. She was happy to have been scouted for it, and she was fine with it.
I was happy to meet such a pleasant scapegoat if I needed it.
Now I came up behind them and checked their pulse. There was no one alive in this room, so I left the captain's cabin for those below. I heard someone cussing as I went down the stairs, and I smiled. Someone had died climbing up the stairs. It seemed as if there was now a man cussing up a storm, not looking at me at this moment as I came down the stairs stealthily.
"Fucking Dick, Richard, you fat fuck, Wake the fuck up." He snapped at the dead body that was honestly massive. The muscle on this guy lying atop a much smaller guy was funny. I almost chuckled, but instead, I had Sophia's knife come down as I grabbed his head and made him look at me. I saw the green emerald eyes of a Devil with surprise in his eyes as the knife pushed through those emerald eyes and ended his life.
Blood seeped out, but I stood and walked over and found more and more bodies lying around. I checked their pulses and found no one alive. Before Heading out, I decided to look at the cargo and smiled as the place was mostly full. I opened a box quickly, and my grin got even larger. An Alchemy set of glass was in there, and I closed it back up. Now was not the time to look. Grinning, I came back up on deck. I walked into the cabin, grabbed a fruit from the captain's cabin, and tossed it overboard.
Then I saw the whip I left for them to go taunt, and the Necromancers boarded the ship one at a time. "You know what to do. They are all dead. Start recruiting your sailors." I told them, and they nodded, and I repeated myself again and again. As soon as the last one came up, I grabbed my whip and leaped back into the water. It was time for me to raid a second ship.
It would not be nearly as easy as the first.
