"when!"

The dull sound of metal entering flesh was not heard, and Jarlaxle heard the sound of metal intersecting.

He tried his best to hit a "kidney shot" but was blocked.

His final extreme acceleration and his strange cloak allowed several pirates to pass through their crotches without even realizing it.

But Hayreddin just so cleverly swung his trident behind him, blocking Jarlaxle's sure blow.

Jarlaxle was knocked down by the recoil and knocked down the pirate crowd.

Although he immediately raised his body with a carp and drew a circle with his two weapons to protect himself, he was still surrounded by Hayreddin's personal guards and other pirates.

Hayreddin, who turned around, was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat. Even a powerful druid like him would lose his mobility immediately if he was really hit by the "kidney shot" just now.

Under such circumstances, although there are reliable guards who will definitely carry him away, the danger during the period will inevitably be doubled.

There were many pirates around Jarlaxle, but except for the two guards, no one else attacked him. These guards organized by Hayreddin with kindness and high salary were his most precious wealth. How much energy and wealth he spent

To pick out such humane subordinates from the scumbag pirates, and then spend so much energy and wealth to cultivate some pure loyalty in their hearts.

But now, Hayreddin knew that he could no longer use it sparingly. If his life was lost here, there would be no point in having more loyal subordinates.

"Whoever cuts off this drow's head, I will reward him with a ship and the daughter of the Governor of Croatia!" Last month, Hayreddin went deep into the interior of the Kingdom of Hungary and captured the city of Zagreb. He stole countless beauties and treasures.

"All the guards, after returning to the port of Tripoli, there will be a Croatian beauty for each one!"

"Aw. Aw, aw." The pirates, who were overwhelmed by the fair skin and sultry postures of the Croatian ladies, roared and launched an attack on Jarlaxle.

After sprinting, Jarlaxle's physical strength was reduced. There were too many people around him and there was no room for him to use his flexible movements. For a while, he was beaten by these low-level warriors and was in danger.

However, Hayreddin did not join the attack, and the Austrian pursuers were within a hundred paces.

Those armored cavalrymen were the real rulers on the land, and he did not dare to look back and take risks.

The approaching pursuers and Jarlaxle's thunderous blow just now made Hayreddin make his final determination.

He confirmed that he had lost most of his men.

There were less than 200 people around at this time, although there were still about 500 people staying on the more than 30 pirate ships in the dock area.

But it's useless. It's good to escape a few ships, but it's impossible to fight back.

More than five hundred people were captured near the inner city wall. More than a thousand people were divided into several parts of the city of Trieste. Everything was irreversible.

"Don't go to the anchorage, we can't get on the ship." Hayreddin said to the last few people around him, who were all priests of Dagon.

Most of them have only cast one or two buff magics or low-to-medium level summoning spells. Although these guys are braver and more aggressive than most spell casters, they still inevitably cannot fight against the wind due to the expensive casting materials.

In such a battle, the situation is unfavorable and it is very likely that they cannot reimburse the casting materials, so most of them use magical spells sparingly.

However, Hayredin had nothing to do with them. This time he really couldn't pay the bill for the spell-casting materials.

Although the guards are the subordinates Hayredin has the most control over, Hayreddin must still give priority to protecting these subordinates who are not reliable at critical moments.

Because the enemy had no arcane or divine support, Jarlaxle finally held on until Ladislaus and the others rushed up.

Those Hayredin guards have no chance to share the beauty of Croatia.

The Austrian cavalry also lost most of its organization when passing through the inner wall gate. After getting permission from Ladislaus, Kessell-Vitting reorganized slightly at the city gate and then pursued from another street.

.

As the pirates approached the dock, they successfully formed a pincer attack with the elite detachment led by Ladislaus again.

Based on the behavior of the pirates near the inner city gate just now, Kessell-Vitting determined that there would be some chaos when boarding the ship.

So he didn't launch a surprise attack until then.

For him, 10,000 talers and a title are also very important rewards.

If this step can be taken, it is very possible to establish a branch of the Vittin family within the Austrian system that can be passed down for a long time.

When the pirates arrived near the dock, they lost their organization again and desperately rushed to the ships on several berths.

Some people jumped directly into the water and swam towards the pirate ship behind them.

The Austrian cavalry defeated them with a limited attack, and then came the prisoner screening. However, Kessell-Vitting did not see Hayreddin's tall figure.

This defeat happened so quickly that most of the remaining pirates had not yet raised their sails. Ladislaus organized his elite detachments and some cavalry into several groups to try to capture these pirate ships.

At the same time, Count Slam's men took control of a two-story building near the dock and shot the pirates who wanted to raise the sail.

It is not that there are no strong opponents among the pirates. There are several pirate captains who are even stronger warriors than Sirica Boss and Kessell Vitim. However, firstly, they are eager to escape, and secondly, the disadvantage of no armor and light armor is still decisive.

Except for a few of the bravest warriors who put up limited resistance on the deck, most of the pirate ships on the inside gradually gave up their resistance as the Austrians shouted that they would survive if they surrendered.

Boss Sirica and his men continued to attack several pirate ships parked outside using the gang-hopping tools on the pirate ships.

Ladislaus and Frundsberg did not board the ship; they gathered on the dock as a fist, preparing for Hayreddin's final counterattack.

"The treasury of Hayreddin's army was discovered. It seems that there are a lot of spellcasting materials and gold coins." A scout reported the good news to Ladislaus, but Ladislaus did not accept the spoils immediately but continued to be on guard.

"Women were found on every ship. They all looked European, but it seemed that they couldn't understand German or Slovenian."

Compared with those women who have to spend the rest of their lives in a foreign country, their fate is not bad. This is a world where the concept of chastity is not strong.

Ladislaus also had no time to care about these rescued women.

The attack on the pirate ships lasted for a long time. Until the afternoon, Ladislaus completely controlled more than fifteen pirate ships, and Hayredin still did not appear.

Hayreddin should have escaped from a small river in the port of Trieste. He and the priests of Dagon had great maneuverability in the water.

"Don't let your guard down, be on guard against enemies attacking the pier's pilings!" The water at the pier's pilings in the Port of Trieste is not shallow and the terrain is not complicated, but it would still be very dangerous for Hayredin to use his shark form to attack.

.

That is a life designed for naval battles, not for beach landings.

Of course, vigilance is still necessary. A large number of Austrian elites are now on the dock. If Hayreddin and his amphibious priests of Dagon launch an attack, it may pose a considerable threat.

However, Hayredin retreated neatly in the end and did not try any more desperate counterattacks.

After the last pirate ship surrendered, the Austrian elite began to go street by house in the city to clear out the pirates who had lost their organization.

However, Ladislaus can entrust this task to Fucesser-Vitin's troops, and he can enjoy the dinner prepared by Governor Gundogan together with most of the elite troops.

Overall, Ladislaus was not in a bad mood during dinner. Although he did not fully achieve his goal, it was still a huge victory.

More than 500 pirates were killed in the battle and more than 1,500 were captured. Austria's empty slave team was replenished again, but this time it was the Austrian river army that was in urgent need of slaves.

These pirates can go to the bottom of the river battleship and continue their career as sailors, but they won't have as much loot.

Ladislaus completely eliminated the threat of Barbary pirates to the northern coast of the Adriatic Sea in a short period of time, and in the long run also reduced the damage caused by pirates to his own territory.

And this defeat would long make the pirates think twice before attacking the Austrian coastline.

The treasury on the Hayreddin ship contains nearly 50,000 thalers of various spellcasting materials and potion scrolls, as well as more than 10,000 thalers in cash.

There are also eight medium and large sail and oar boats in good condition.
