Chapter 33: Looting the Coast
Rumble!
The sound of gunfire resounded over the town of this southern island. Pirate ships with black sails could be seen near the port in the distance. Hundreds of cannons fired at the city wall at the same time, and they blasted out after just one round of shooting. A gap. The fierce vitality was so overwhelming that the defenders on the city wall did not change hands at all, and could only find a way to hide in the corner. There were cries and shouts everywhere in the town, and the sudden attack frightened these civilians who usually live in comfort.
"Damn it!"
A man in aristocratic attire yelled, "Fight back! Fight back!"
"Why are there pirates here?"
"Black Flag!"
"Isn't this the beheader's men? Why would they attack us! Aren't they afraid of the kingdom's revenge?"
Rumble.
The answer to him was the second round of artillery attacks. As the firepower suppressed, speedboats were lowered from the pirate ships in front. Teams of hideous-looking pirates held their weapons and began to land, and some of them jumped into the sea directly. , and then rushed towards the town ahead. There was a burst of strange screams, and the pirates brandished their weapons and rushed to the defenders of the town, launching an almost one-sided massacre.
"attack!"
"Call me all!"
A icy gleam appeared in Cyclops' eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Don't bother with those ordinary people! Get rid of the governor's mansion! Those ordinary people have nothing to do!"
"Quick battle!"
"There are troops from the southern island countries stationed nearby, we must retreat before they come over!"
Rumble.
Cyclops swung a knife and chopped a defender to death, glanced around, and then said, "Follow me! This is the Chamber of Commerce's residence! Go in!"
A group of pirate monsters screamed and rushed over, fighting with the guards of the chamber of commerce.
The entire town has been caught in the flames of war, but the core of the battle is still where the nobles and merchants live, and those poor areas have not been affected. Because no pirate would be brainless to rob that side. There is no oil and water there, and to die is to snatch some rotten bread and a few coppers from their hands. Soon, one of the chambers of commerce was captured. Among the bloody corpses lying on the ground, two burly pirates were carrying a box, and the defenders counterattacked from the side. Immediately they took up arms and fought.
Crash.
The box he was carrying fell to the ground, and a piece of Jindler Yindler immediately spilled out. The shining gold coins attracted the attention of many people, and then there were a few pirates who seemed a little different from the main battle pirates. The guy rushed over, reached out and grabbed a handful, and was about to stuff it into his pocket.
clang!
A cold light flashed.
The one-eyed dragon swung his knife to kill the looting pirates, then stared coldly to the left and right, and stopped for a while on the leader of another group of pirates. He roared angrily: "Have you forgotten the rules set by Your Excellency Sauron? Whoever dares to mess around again will be his fate!"
The attacking pirates were obviously in two groups.
One group was well-organized and fierce, attacking warehouses and mansions in a planned and organized manner, and the other group was attacking wherever they went, and some pirates wanted to retreat when they got something.
Needless to say, they were small bands of pirates accompanying them.
"broken!"
"The warehouse has been breached!"
There was a burst of cheers ahead. Then there was a burst of shouts, Cyclops glanced around, and said to the person next to him: "Follow me!"
boom!
The door of the warehouse was knocked open, and the wealth inside was immediately revealed to the eyes of others.
Cases of Kindlers and Silverdlers. There are all kinds of other goods, as well as food that is levied as taxes. The southern island nation is quite wealthy. The entire warehouse is filled with five or six cents, and there are many swords and weapons.
"Ship away."
"Get it all away! Get it out quickly!"
Cyclops smiled with satisfaction, and then shouted, "Is the Governor's Mansion captured?"
"No."
A young pirate responded, "There's a wizard there! Our casualties are not small! Kanado and his men retreated. Let those guys go and talk to them."
wizard?
The one-eyed dragon couldn't help squinting his eyes when he heard the words, and then said, "Let's leave it to them. Hurry up and get the things out."
"It is estimated that the army will come for reinforcements in half a day."
Boom boom boom!
The dull gunfire continued. To the east of the town is a castle built on the mountainside. The mansion at the foot of the mountain has been captured, but the nobles who ruled here have retreated to the castle. Without sufficient firepower, it was very difficult to capture the castle. After the first wave of offensive was defeated by the defenders, it was obvious that a group of pirates had retreated.
"Damn it!"
An old nobleman stood on the castle and roared, "Where are the reinforcements from Nag City? Why haven't they come yet?"
"These damned pirates! I want..."
boom.
A pirate warship turned its position and fired a cannon towards the castle halfway up the mountain, but it was already beyond the range of the artillery, and it basically had no power.
The battle continues!
However, some pirates have already begun to retreat in an organized manner, transporting boxes of gold, silver, and goods back. In the end, they didn't even spare the grain in the warehouse, and transported them back to the warship one by one. The entire town was in a mess, many places were on fire, crying and howling could be seen everywhere, and sporadic battles continued in some corners.
By the time the pirates receded, the entire town had almost turned into ruins, and the only intact place was the slums without any oil or water. Another place that has not been affected much is the temple. Few pirates dare to attack the temple, so this place has also become a shelter for the poor. Many old, weak, women and children hide here to seek protection. The power of the gods makes mortals feel afraid, even these fierce and cruel pirates dare not attack the location of the temple.
Boom boom boom!
There was cheering and howling on the pirate ship, and the gunners fired a few more shots at the town ahead before leaving calmly.
………………
The same scene happened in many places.
The pirate leaders under Sauron's command, and the scattered pirates called by the Pirate King, unified and looted the cities along the coast of the southern island country. The endless attacks made the army of the southern island country exhausted. Except for a few towns that were not captured, many places were like this , all were looted. And because the navy in the kingdom was taken out by Prince Hans, now they can't even go to sea to fight, they can only hide in the town and passively defend.
The sea has been completely reduced to the world of pirates, and everything seems to be in chaos.
Pirates run rampant.
The southern island nation had no choice but to issue a retreat order to evacuate the population from all towns along the coast. As long as they stayed away from the coastline, the pirates had to go ashore to attack. Once they landed, they would never be opponents of the regular army. And as long as they stay away from the coast, it will not be so easy for the pirates to retreat. A heavy cavalry from the southern island country can make them look good!
but.
It seems that all pirates have no idea of landing on land to fight.
