48. Battle of the port


The night concealed all the invisible evils, and the pirates who had escaped from death row sneaked through a banana grove and followed the shadow of a reef by the sea to the docks.When they regained their freedom, they did not want to stay in Conason City to continue their evil, but sneaked up in groups near the docks outside the city, apparently trying to seize the ship and quietly go to sea.The pirate leaders looked around cautiously, some wearing blood-stained rebel leather armor, some wearing some civilian clothing, and some shirtless, just wearing tattered prison trousers, and the chains attached to them dragged to the ground with a clanging sound.They were like a bunch of humanoid beasts, trotting through the banana groves, and the pirates cut down a bunch of green bananas from the banana trees, slung them on their shoulders, and ate them as they ran.We were lying on the slope at the edge of a banana grove, and the pirates came out of the banana grove and ran just below the dirt slope, and they groped along the shoreline to the docks.When they were far away, a sailor poked his head out of the grass and whispered to his companions, "They must be starving, and the prison on Conason Island will not give them food?"

”Another sailor touched his bald head with sea cloud tattoos, poked his head out of the grass and said, "I've heard that the food in Conason Island Prison is not bad, but it doesn't look good!"

”The third sailor came out of the grass, with blades of grass on his head and blue seaweed on his face, and said to the two men in front of him, "Why are we talking about this?"

We're not slave traders anymore, aren't we!

”The two sailors in front of him turned their heads to look at him at the same time and asked with a blank expression: "Then what are we?"

”The mossy sailor racked his brains, pondered, and held back for a while before he hardened his head and said: "We are our freedom fighters who are resisting the rebel forces of Marquis Boris at sea!"

”"Be quiet!"

Karantso's voice was scolding, and the surroundings were immediately silenced.For unknown reasons, the rebels on the port docks did not send reinforcements as soon as they found out that the city was in chaos.Maybe he was waiting for a distress signal from Connathan City, maybe he was waiting for orders from the rebel consuls in Conaxon City, maybe he wanted to wait until dawn, maybe the current commander of the ship was a cowardly coward, but anyway, it was good news.Deborah spread her wings and glided recklessly through the night sky, she circled over the docks a few times, and without noticing the traps set by the dock rebels, she hurried back and told me that the docks were all right.There were two Persian scimitars hanging from her waist, and the scabbards were inlaid with some red, green, and green gems, and only the slave traders liked to use this kind of strange weapon, and Deborah was obviously on the ship, and was deeply influenced by these sailors, and thought that carrying a scimitar at her waist was enough to be imposing.Carrying two heavy scimitars, Deborah struggled to walk with a particularly difficult pace.I glanced at Karan next to me, and she spread her hands and said to me, "She said she looked like a pirate like that!"

”"I don't know what to say, it seems that the nature of this harpy is still constantly guiding her to the opposite side of the world.When I walked three kilometres to the dock with the sailors of the Slave Trader, there was silence on the pier, except for the shadows of the sailing boats, where the rebels hid on board, neither going out to sea at night nor stationing on the pier, but only huddled on the sailing boats.Originally, I just wanted to set up some magic traps on the road between the docks and Connathan City, but I was distressed to find that there was a flat open field and a not too dense banana forest in between, and it would not be enough to set a trap in this area, even if I donated all my magic scrolls.A few wind lanterns hung high in the quiet harbor, and the shadows of the lamp poles swayed gently with the sea breeze, and the waves crashed against the foundation of the docks, and the pirates had sneaked into the water to swim towards a five-masted galleon.The night was dark, but my senses were much sharper than those of ordinary people, so it was easy to find the pirate leaders on the surface of the sea with only a glimmer of light, and I guessed they might steal a lifeboat or two, but I watched them climb up the great chains of the anchor.One, two, three, more than twenty pirates climbed onto the five-masted galleon at the same time, obviously not as simple as trying to cut the ropes of the lifeboats, but they all climbed onto the ship, apparently trying to seize the five-masted galleon.One after another, the pirates climbed onto the ship, but they never expected that when they thought they had succeeded in their plan, the five-masted galleon was brightly lit, and the sailors on the rebel side of the ship, armed with longbows and spearguns, were all aimed at the two dozen pirates on the deck, and the rebel captain stood on the ship's floor, condescendingly stretched out his hand and turned his thumb downward.Ten thousand arrows are fired.The pirates who can be qualified to be put on death row are of course not ordinary people, and those ordinary pirates will of course have their heads cut off at the first time, and the merits they can get are not much different if they live or die.But these pirate leaders are different, not only can the living pirate leaders receive more merit, but they also have the wealth that the sea has given them, so these pirate leaders can continue to live in the prison of Connathan Island City.Moreover, pirates who can become leaders have some real skills under their hands.So, when the captain of the five-masted galleon set up an ambush circle and waited quietly for the pirates to take the bait, he was actually taking a big step towards the door of death.The phantom volley of a shield appeared in the shield wall, and then it was lined up in a neat row on the deck, and the pirate leaders who rushed in front were all protected by shields, on the contrary, many of the pirates who walked behind were injured by bows and arrows.I didn't expect that among this group of pirate leaders, there would be a powerful one-turn shield warrior.The arrows flew among the powerful harpoons, and three harpoons were shot into the bodies of the three pirates, and the huge inertia made those harpoons firmly nail to the deck after passing through the pirates' bodies, making the pirates strung on the harpoons wail and struggle in pain.These spearguns, which are similar to bed crossbows, are not only capable of catching large marine fish, but also a weapon of mass destruction in naval warfare.These pirate leaders fought the five-masted galleon with oncoming arrows, and the pirate gang of less than twenty people actually killed the sailors on the rebel ship one after another, which was still a huge advantage with the support of archers.Seeing this scene, Kalanso and I looked at each other, and suddenly felt that things had taken a huge turn for the better.Originally, we wanted to set some magic traps between the docks and Connathan City to delay the support of the rebels on the ship, but who knew that the rebels on the ship had no intention of supporting at all.Originally, we were still speculating about various reasons, but we didn't expect that a group of pirates who escaped from prison disrupted our rhythm and took the lead in touching the port, and they were so arrogant that they wanted to seize a five-masted galleon with more than 20 people, such a five-masted galleon, there must be at least 100 sailors on board to sail normally.The pirates single-handedly fought against the rebels, who numbered more than 100 people, and were ambushed when they reached the deck.Even so, the pirates' subsequent counterattack yielded some success.Seeing the rebel sailors on the ship retreating, I suddenly realized that although there were nine large ships moored in Conason Harbor, Conason Island City was actually very empty, almost all the elite warriors were taken away to form a huge fleet to chase Count E, and the group of people who remained in Conason City was actually a group of stragglers with no combat effectiveness at all.In this case, since those pirate leaders can turn a five-person sailing ship upside down with more than 20 people, then of course our group will have the strength to fight against these ships.Recalling the crowds at the gate of Connathan City, the islanders who were dark and oppressive in the dark night, I didn't expect Count E's prestige on Conason Island to be so high, so I just asked my confidant Captain Justter to return to the island and greet him: Those who are willing to follow me, come with me to the sea!

There are so many people who are willing to follow the ship to sea, and a few days ago, Captain Justter had just buried the lives of a whole boatload of people, and when he returned to the island at this time, there were so many people willing to follow, just thinking about it felt a little incredible."

Let's try to grab a boat, too?"

Karantso stared at the Galen-class sailing ship that was more than 100 meters long on the pier not far away, and was the first to say what I was thinking.I nodded.Karantso turned around and waved his hand, leading the hundred sailors on the Slave Trader to approach the dock little by little.At this time, the lights of the nine ships were lit one after another, and the sailors of the other ships, finding that there were only about two dozen pirates who had come to attack, regained some confidence in the battle, and they stood on the side of the ship, connected the two ships together with long planks, and then, under the cover of the archers, jumped on the gangplank, and swarmed from the other ships to the five-masted galleon, brandishing long knives.The rebel side did not turn the warriors to suppress the formation, and these ordinary rebel soldiers faced the battle-hardened pirate leader, and they could only deliver food.The pirate leaders had come all the way around the reef by the sea, and when they got closer, they touched the stern of the ship in shallow water, and climbed to the ship along the large iron chain of the anchor, so that they were not hindered.And I tried to forcibly capture a Galen-class sailing ship, Karantso directly rushed into the dock with a group of sailors, just approached the Galen-class galleon on the far left, was discovered by the lookout post on the mast, just hit the range of the archers, on the side of the ship more than 20 meters high, immediately appeared a group of archers, they stood neatly on the side of the ship, only to hear someone shout: Arrows!

A rain of arrows was thrown down from the night sky, and Karantso immediately stopped his body, and the sailors also stood behind Karantso smartly, and they raised their round shields from their hands to resist the arrows falling from the air, and the arrows of these steel arrow clusters could penetrate the hardwood round shields in the hands of the sailors, and the tips of the arrows passed through the wooden shields, and the sailors who rushed to the front fell down a few in response.Unexpectedly, these ships still made some defensive means, but this level of arrow rain covered seemed to make it difficult for us to move an inch.At this time, it is necessary to rush to the ship decisively and quickly, once our charge is forced back, not only will it increase the confidence of the rebels on the ship, but it will also lose the best opportunity, so there is no way to retain strength at this time, I will release the momentum.The sea of gold slowly spread from beneath my feet in all directions, and the sailors watched in horror at the strange shape on my ground.Then, a tumbling dark cloud appeared behind me, and some small electric snakes were scurrying back and forth in the dark cloud, at this time, the affinity of my water magic was greatly improved, and the control and perception of water magic were greatly improved.Ruka stood in front of me, shielding me from arrows from the front.A pale blue six-pointed star circle appeared beneath my feet, chanting a long wall of magic ice in my mouth.Two tall ice walls slowly condensed from both sides of the team, and the nearly twenty-meter-high ice walls completely protected our left and right flanks.Then, in front of me, walls of water gathered in front of me, and after I cast my spells, they condensed into a staircase of ice that led from the dock to the deck of the Galen.Ruka the Minotaur stood beside me, one hand over his face to block the rain of arrows, and the other hand holding the Moonblade Axe and striding forward.The golden-patterned black-iron armor made him completely unafraid of the arrows, and he stood in front of him like a wall, and the sailors followed him, stepping on the ice steps to rush to the deck of the Galen-class galleon.Surrounded by three ice shields and carrying the Shura battle axe in one hand, I released a few ice arrows from time to time, freezing the archers who were hiding on the ship's tower and releasing cold arrows into ice slag.Caterina followed me all the way, never going far, and all the rebels who tried to rush to my side were cut by her throat with the sword breaker.However, Karantso carried a double-edged broadsword, led a group of sailors and the rebels on the deck to fight together, and everywhere he went, there were rivers of blood.Sure enough, the rebels, despite their numerical superiority and the support of archers, were unable to hold back our charge.The main reason is that this Galen-class sailing ship does not even have a warrior with a turn of strength, and in the face of Karantso and Ruka, two orc warriors wearing demonic uniforms, almost no one can block their full force.Although we also had some casualties, we quickly took the initiative on the battlefield, and seeing that we had captured the entire ship, the rebels on board jumped into the sea to escape.The other seven sailing ships, under the distraction, actually stretched out huge oars from the side of the hull, the anchor at the tail slowly rose, and more than forty oars were inserted into the sea and rowed vigorously, and those boats actually left the harbor one after another and fled into the sea.
