With the monsoon blowing from the endless sea, the hot summer is about to pass, but in the warm south, the temperature difference between the weather in the western wilderness is not large year-round. Only the wilderness with overgrown grass begins to turn yellow.

For the residents of Long Beach Port, the impact of seasonal changes is even smaller. However, due to the influence of the monsoon, there are more merchant ships that rely on the monsoon to sail. Merchants are taking advantage of the arrival of the monsoon to make a few more trips. You should know that the voyage that used to take a month, but now it can be reached in more than 20 days, and the supply costs alone have to save a lot of money.

But in recent times, even the slowest and least concerned about external conditions have discovered that the atmosphere at the port is becoming tense day by day.

All day long, teams of patrol soldiers can be seen on the streets at any time. They are wearing green leather armor, holding spears, and wearing short swords around their waists. No matter who they are, as long as they are suspicious, they will always arrest you in prison and chat before talking.

Some strange faces had already lived in the military camp not far from the port, but the residents of Long Beach Port were not all strangers, because they soon recognized the acquaintances who served in the Gold Mine Guard in Yuexi Town.

In just one month, twelve sentry towers were built on the seawall, with dwarf cannons purchased from the dwarf area of ​​Stormwind City. The black muzzles were staring at the sea surface vigilantly. In the beach outside the seawall, many huge deer forts were erected to prevent rushing to the beach, and thick and sharp fork piles were everywhere, looking like a steel jungle.

The merchants were also keenly aware of the coming of war, and almost all merchant ships left as quickly as possible to avoid being dragged into this muddy water. But to be honest, they did not want this emerging port to be destroyed by the pirates, because once they lost this excellent mid-stop, they had to return to the day when supplies alone would take up a quarter of the cargo capacity. This meant at least one-eighth of the money loss for merchants who were already accustomed to supplying mid-stop at Long Beach Port. What else is more annoying than this for profit-seeking merchants?

So they all gave Long Beach Port a lot of open and secret help. Some ship owners brought them information about the pirates, and some ship owners left some supplies that could be used in the war. A cargo ship from Minaishire Port directly unloaded five dwarf artillery, which made Adis Brom, who had always been worried about insufficient firepower, overjoyed and kept patting his chest to ensure that all the sentry towers could be built on time.

Time passed by day by day, and by late September, few merchant ships had docked at the dock berths of Longtan Port, and even the shops in the city were closed and packed and left. The originally bustling streets were crowded with pedestrians, and several shops opened by locals were deserted, with a look of withering and declining.

"Damn pirates, I will definitely make you pay the price!" Looking at everything in front of him, Van Cliff couldn't help cursing. This port that was originally prosperous was his hard work for several months, but now it has become like this. It is simply a knife in his heart. He finally realized the fear and anger in the hearts of the civilians in the Western wilderness under the horror brought by the Defia Brotherhood, which made him feel guilty and secretly glad that he had accepted the lord's recruitment and returned to the right path.

"You're right, it's just a group of pirates, it's no big deal." Harry Bergaard, who was standing by, agreed. He turned his head and looked at the direction of Stormwind City in the north, complaining dissatisfiedly, "I really don't know what the idiot nobles in Stormwind City think. We have sent more than ten rescue requests in a row, but we still haven't seen a reinforcement!"

"I'm used to it. When the Difia Brotherhood was in trouble, they had never sent even big-headed infantry," Grian Storman said calmly. He had never had much hope for Stormwind, so he didn't care about disappointment. He turned his head and looked at Edwin Van Cliff, who looked embarrassed. "If the Lord Lord hadn't brought people to him, I'm afraid the whole western wilderness would have fallen into the hands of the Brotherhood."

"It's a pity that Lord Lord is not here, otherwise his magical musket would definitely be of great use." Bergad said regretfully. From Stormwind City to Yuexi Town, he still remembers the power of Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord's musket.

The three of them sighed together. The unreliable lord had been thrown down from the territory and ran away for half a year. He didn't even know that he was there now. However, with his strong strength, the few people didn't think he would encounter an accident.

"Alarm, alarm, a boat is coming!" At this moment, the scream of the lookout hand came from the sea wall far away.

Several people were nervous - there had been no merchant ship by the port for several days. Now, except for pirate ships, who would come to this place of trouble?

"Three ships are medium-sized sailboats!" The lookout hand shouted again. After a few seconds, his voice suddenly rose a lot, "Oh my God, I saw the skeleton flag, it's a pirate!"

"They are here!" Bergard said in a deep voice. According to the information of the merchants, these pirates were not big pirate gangs, but temporary gangs gathered by several small pirates. The ships they used were not the most advanced fast sailing boats, but old-fashioned galleys. They happened to match the ships that appeared.

"Ring the bell, prepare for battle!" Grian Storman shouted loudly in the direction of the city hall. A few seconds later, a rapid bell rang out from the bell tower, which had been on duty. Immediately afterwards, a large group of soldiers rushed out from the direction of the barracks and rushed towards their respective positions. This was all practiced many times before, and everything seemed orderly, nervous and not panic.

Bergard and Storman ran towards the coast together, while Van Cliff stayed. The burden on his shoulders was not easy. In addition to leading some security team members to prepare to accept the wounded in the town, they also organized people to transport ammunition to put out fires that might be caused by shelling. More importantly, they also prevent spies from taking the opportunity to make trouble in the town and fishing in the troubled waters.

When Bergard and Storman came to the seawall line, the star officer had already organized the soldiers on duty and prepared for battle. The soldiers who came from the barracks were constantly joining the team.

They climbed up to the top of the sentry tower panting and looked into the distance.

Within their sight, three pirate ships were falling sails and heading towards the port with their long oars.

At the top of the main mast, three black skull flags were fluttering in the wind and making noises. But to be honest, the condition of these ships was not good: the anticorrosion paint in some places on the hull had fallen off, revealing the mottled wood color below. I don’t know how many times the sails had been repaired. The patches were stacked with patches and looked broken. Many facilities were not complete, and one ship even had a large part of the impact corner.

"These ships are really broken. I guess we can smash them with just a few guns." Bergard quipped deliberately indifferently. The soldiers around him burst into laughter when they heard this.

"Maybe it will sink by itself without us doing it." Storman also came up and said seriously. To be honest, the old Paladin, who has always been serious and serious, made people feel even cold when he talks jokes. The soldiers laughed louder.

"These pirates with poor faces shouldn't be very powerful, otherwise how could they be so miserable?" Many newly recruited recruits couldn't help thinking like this, and the nervous atmosphere in the team gradually relaxed.
