Passy Port is one of the coastal cities on the western mainland coastline. Its rich agricultural resources have turned the originally poor fishing village into a trading seaport.
The prosperous port is full of merchants, and the roads on both sides of the port are crowded with miscellaneous goods. Pedestrians on the road rush to work in a hurry.
Boom
Boom
Boom
Urgent sirens resounded throughout the port, followed by continuous roars.
"pirate"
"It's a pirate"
"Pirates are attacking the city"
The frantically fleeing crowd ran and shouted, trying to wake up the people who were still in a daze.
Fear spread among the crowd, and they began to run around.
Passy Port is just a small city developed from a small fishing village on the new shipping route. It does not have special fortifications. In addition, the navy regularly patrols the shipping route. In the past five years, there has never been a pirate attack on the city. This is the first time an island landing attack has occurred.
city situation
The artillery fire from the sea avoided the commercial district and kept bombarding the only fortress.
The fortress was about to collapse amidst the continuous artillery fire. The soldiers inside could only huddle up and hope that the artillery attacks would stop.
After several rounds of artillery fire, the fortress did not fall, but the soldiers' will has been exhausted. If it were not forced by death, they would have laid down their weapons and surrendered long ago.
"Rush, rush, rush"
"Kill all these red dogs"
"The captain gave the order, we rush in and kill them all"
"Hahaha, kids, don't be in a hurry until the artillery fire is finished. Sharpen your knives. I will kill all the red dogs later."
"Long live the captain"
"Kill them all"————
3 hours later.
Abian and the others were still a step too late. Even after receiving the next message, the warship moved at full speed and rushed from Pavarotti.
"It's still too late." The scene before him reminded Abian of that night three years ago.
The thick blood under the feet was mixed with the fishy smell of sea water. The bluestones underground could not be seen clearly on the blood-stained streets. There were stumps and broken hands everywhere and eyes that were unwilling to die.
"vomit" A companion next to him couldn't help but vomited when he saw the tragic situation at the port.
Rows of corpses of Imperial Navy soldiers were kneeling on the ground in the port square. Abian was furious when he saw them.
The soldiers kneeling in rows had their hands tied behind their backs and were shot in the back of the head, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Why didn't you resist?" Looking at the body that showed no sign of resistance, Abian was furious. He obviously had a gun in his hand, and there would be hope even if he persisted for a while, so why didn't he resist?
The cowardice of the Imperial Navy made Ebian hate them to death.
Snake, who saw Abian in a fierce mood in the crowd, came over and patted Abian on the shoulder.
"This is reality, don't worry about it." Snake, who has long been accustomed to such scenes, said calmly.
"Why didn't they resist?" the angry Abian asked.
Snake, who seemed to know why Abian was angry, did not blame her attitude, but asked calmly: "You expect a group of farmers to pick up guns and fight against pirates."
"Uh" Abian was speechless.
Although the Imperial Navy is an army in name, it has long been riddled with corruption by its officers. With inferior weapons and weak soldiers, the battle can only rely on line shooting to have a certain threat. It is indeed unrealistic to expect them to fight against ferocious pirates.
, but the lack of resistance was still unacceptable to Abian.
But this is the current situation of the Imperial Navy, and it is also the reason why the World Government emerged.
After a moment of silence, Abian still said hoarsely to Snake: "Captain, I am not willing to give in. I have worked hard for three years just for this moment, but before I arrived, they were all dead."
"I'm not willing to give in." The anger that had nowhere to vent burned Abian's heart.
"Put away your anger, we are not over yet." After saying this, Snake motioned for Abian to follow and gathered the team.
Snake discovered from the scene just now that the pirates had not left long ago, and the bodies had not even been gathered up. They left in a hurry. It was still possible to track them with the speed of the warship, so they quickly prepared a team to pursue them.
on board
"Listen carefully, the pirates haven't gone far yet. We still have a chance. We will get your weapons later and be ready to join the gang at any time." As soon as they got on the ship, Snake gathered everyone and informed them of his decision.
.
When Abian in the crowd heard that there was still a chance of pursuit, he put away his sorrowful mind, checked his weapons, and made final preparations.
After a brief training at the base, everyone boarded the warship under the leadership of Snake. After a few days of calm sailing, everyone had lost their previous excitement. It was not until today's tragedy that the teenagers realized the bloody nature of pirates. Now listen
It was said that there was still a possibility of pursuit, so everyone suppressed their anger and quietly prepared themselves.
The warship quickly left the port and sailed into the wind with the full support of the triangular sail. The huge hull cut through the waves lapping up, and the reconnaissance seabirds surrounded the ship and pointed the direction for the warship.
Not long after sailing, he was spotted at the intersection of the inner and outer seas.
Scouting seabirds were sent out one after another, and the lookouts at high places did not dare to relax at all.
"Found it!" the observer on the main mast shouted.
Everyone's minds were agitated, but they still stuck to their work and did not change because of this shouting. They quietly made the best final preparations.
"Left rudder 4 degrees, full speed ahead." Snake ordered in an orderly manner.
The dark blue warship made a beautiful arc on the sea, rushed towards the enemy ship, and bit the tail of the pirate ship.
Seeing the pirate ship in front of him, Abian's eyes were filled with red light, but as a member of the jumping stick team, he had to stay calm at all times.
Rushing into a gang is a big taboo. If you are not careful, you will not only be in danger, but it will also affect your teammates joining the gang.
The artillery fire began to roar. The pirate ship that had used the artillery fire in the attack port had no resistance under the warships with full ammunition. Every bombardment could take away the armor on the sides of the pirate ship. The swaying pirate ship was still trying to escape on the sea.
Trying to get away from artillery fire.
Under the crazy shooting from the three rows of decks of the warship, the mainmast of the pirate ship was destroyed. Without the wind to support the pirate ship, there was no possibility of escape. Both sides slowly stopped and prepared for the docking station.
Watching the pirate ship getting closer and closer on the deck, Abian swung the iron hook in his hand. As long as he was given an order, he would throw the iron hook away and quickly join the gang.
The navy soldiers on the deck fired in an orderly three-stage line, hitting the enemy on the opposite side and clearing out the deck on the opposite side, giving the gang members a chance to gain more life.
After two rounds of shooting, the ships from both sides finally approached. Snake saw the right moment and shouted: "Join the ship and jump in."
Then he picked up the saber and joined the Tiao Gang.
After hearing the order, Abian, who was already prepared, quickly swung the iron hook to the side mast. Taking advantage of his physical advantage, he swung in the air and swung it towards the enemy ship.
As soon as he jumped over the enemy ship, he quickly pulled out his flintlock musket from his waist.
He fired two rapid shots, emptying the bullets, and then threw the musket as if it were a bomb.
A series of blows frightened the minions below and gave them a place to stay. This allowed Abian to successfully join the gang.
Seeing that the friendly forces successfully boarded the ship, the navy's morale was boosted and it sped up. Snake did not expect that this impulsive boy could be so fast. He boarded the ship within three breaths of the order, but he was still too aggressive.
When the pirates saw someone boarding the ship, they quickly surrounded them.
Smelling the strong smell of gunpowder smoke all around and looking at the blood that had not yet dried on the pirates' bodies, the originally suppressed blood could no longer be controlled.
