Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 165 Complete Victory (6)
The morning sun is rising in the east. In the light autumn fog, the bright morning sunshine shines on the earth. This autumn morning that makes people feel cold has also become warmer.
However, this pleasing autumn morning scenery has nothing to do with the pirates of Arthedain. The night attack battle that was thought to be a sure victory was defeated and ended in ruins after losing a considerable amount of troops.
Escaped and fled back to this wooden castle.
Arsedan vomited two more mouthfuls of blood on the way. Shortly after returning to the wooden castle, he woke up from his semi-conscious state. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sat up with strength.
He knows that he must not fall down. In this critical situation, if he falls unconscious, then the remaining three hundred people will probably be handed over here. If this is the case, then he is
Even if you die ten thousand times, it won't work.
After Asedan sat up, he drank some water and washed his face under the service of his personal guards, not only to wake himself up, but also because his face was also smoked by the fire that burned during the night attack last night.
If it's dark and not washed, it's too unsightly.
Arsedan, who felt that he had regained most of his energy, asked the guard captain to call in the leaders. The situation was extremely critical at the moment. They must decide whether to fight or retreat as soon as possible, otherwise it would bring them big trouble.
Moreover, under the current situation, it is no longer enough for Asedan to give orders, because the successive defeats in the war have caused the pirate leaders under him to have great doubts about his authority. Asedan wants to continue to command them,
You must discuss it carefully with them.
For a commander, it takes several big battles and countless small battles to establish his authority, but to destroy his authority, it only takes one big defeat.
After the seven or eight promoted pirate leaders came in, they saluted as before, and then sat there in silence, waiting for Asedan to speak first before they were willing to speak their minds.
Seeing the state of his men, Asedan sneered and said, "I know you must despise me now, but I can understand it. After all, under my random command, more than two hundred people were killed."
A good brother died in this land thousands of miles away from his hometown."
After saying that, Asedan glanced at the people who lowered their heads and remained silent with sharp eyes, and then continued: "Now, I am still your wolf master and your commander. Do you know why we are on the same island?
The monarch is called the Wolf King, and the core generals are called the Wolf Lords?"
At this time, upon hearing Asedan's question, the three or four pirate leaders sitting there raised their heads and looked at Asedan, waiting for his answer. It seemed that not everyone knew it.
"That's because our ancestors hoped that among the people of Toba Island, the group of people who are most qualified to be leaders can lead the group like the sea wolf leaders in the sea, constantly charging and occupying territory, and winning the future for the group.
Greater room for development.
Sea wolves are called sharks on the Weilin continent. That's because they don't know how powerful this powerful beast is, so they call them fish. Our ancestors on Toba Island discovered this beast long ago.
They are named sea wolves because they have the same characteristics as our Toba Island people.
We Tuoba Islanders are just like sea wolves, we are not afraid of death, we dare to fight, and we will sacrifice our own lives for the benefit of the group. We are equally bloodthirsty, we are equally aggressive, and we all live by predators." He said here.
, Asedan looked at the pirate leaders who all raised their heads, and felt a lot relieved.
(Here, I want to explain to my dear readers why the king of the Toba pirates I set based on the image of Viking pirates is called the Wolf King, and the general is called the Wolf Lord.
I wrote it this way because although the Rohan people in the Lord of the Rings movies are nomads, their equipment and armor are all in Viking style, but they are nomadic cavalry. Therefore, I used this to set up the story.
Background routine.)
Asedan looked at these young leaders and said with some excitement: "The reason why I am telling you about the sea wolf in such a long way is because I want you to be like the sea wolf. After encountering a setback, don't be dejected.
I feel like everything is doomed!
I am almost fifty years old, how many more years can I fight? It doesn't matter if I lose this time. Anyway, I have won too many battles in my life. It doesn't matter whether I win or lose this time.
However, you are still very young, in your early twenties. You cannot deny yourself and us Tuoba Island soldiers just because of this defeat!
Remember, as long as we want to, we can definitely defeat the Bricks. Although they are very cunning and treacherous, no fox, no matter how cunning, can escape the hands of the hunter. As long as you have confidence, we can definitely kill them.
The Bricks who died more will avenge their brothers who died in battle!”
Asedan's words made the blood of this group of young pirates boil. Although they had suffered consecutive defeats, they really shouldn't be like this, doubting their boss, doubting themselves, and doubting their comrades around them.
This is not what a Toba Island man should do. If a Toba Island man who stands upright has his teeth smashed, he will swallow them mixed with blood and water into his stomach, so that no one will know that he is injured and suffers a loss.
Seeing that everyone's morale and enthusiasm had been mobilized, Asedan quickly struck while the iron was hot and asked everyone to express their opinions on how to deal with the war next.
Now that the battle has been going on for three days and more than 200 people have been lost, these pirate leaders, who have suffered enough from the defeat, have begun to speak actively, and they speak the truth based on their own considerations. They no longer act like they did in previous meetings because they were afraid of speaking out.
He said something wrong and chose to hide it.
Generally speaking, everyone's opinions are divided into three categories. The first category advocates continuing to attack Fort Noland. Of course, the pirate leader who proposed this idea was almost beaten up by everyone as soon as he said it.
However, after he finished speaking his thoughts, everyone expressed that it was understandable. It turned out that the pirate leader thought that after they lost so much last night, the defenders of Fort Nolandenburg must not have thought that they would continue to attack and they would definitely be able to defeat them.
If they were caught off guard, they might be able to capture Fort Nolandon.
After hearing his explanation, Asedan and other pirate leaders said that it was logically acceptable, but it was absolutely not allowed because it was too risky. If it was as guessed, it would be fine, but if the enemy still had an ambush, then
The only three hundred people they have left will probably be destroyed.
The second opinion is that they should give up the attack on Fort Norland and instead attack a few villages, break up a few villages, and loot some money, food, and slaves. Although such harvests will not be much, they will still be gained.
It is better than them leaving empty-handed and losing soldiers and generals.
The second type of opinion was put forward by most of the pirate leaders. They were unwilling to give up the attack on Fort Norandenburg directly, but they were unsure about continuing to attack Fort Norandenburg, so they had to come up with such a strategy.
