Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

When the Port of Salzuo, Baron Stewart was large, there would be seven or eight ships berthed, so it was normal for a caravan of four ships to enter the port now.

The tax officer took two soldiers on board the ship and found nothing wrong. Each ship had half a load of cargo. Although the sailors were tough, they were still the way people sailing on the sea should be. There were more than a dozen of them carrying Dressed as a guard with a sword.

It is normal to carry weapons when sailing at sea to prevent pirates. It would be abnormal not to bring them. Therefore, the tax officer collected the parking tax and warned the sailors not to bring swords ashore before leaving.

There are several hotels serving sailors in Port Salzo. They are usually two-story structures, with a bar and kitchen on the first floor and guest rooms on the second floor, so these more than 100 people are not afraid of having nowhere to stay.

When the agreed time in the evening came, the pirates who stayed on the ship took out the hidden weapons from the cargo and sent them ashore. The pirates, led by several leaders, had already taken control of the hotel. After receiving the weapons, they immediately rushed towards the barracks with shouts.

Speaking of the sea, Redbeard Hull took four three-masted sailing ships and six brigantine ships of the pirate fleet to the coast before dark, and waited for the pirates to land as soon as it got dark.

Excluding the more than 100 people who stayed on the ship, because there were not many small boats, most of the remaining 700 or so pirates swam ashore with weapons, but this was not a problem for them.

According to Red Beard Hull's plan, the pirates who swam ashore first robbed the copper bars at the Mage Tower construction site, and then joined forces with the people of Salzuo Port to start looting the port villages, and finally robbed everything at night. The things that came were loaded onto the ship parked in the port, and they set sail at dawn.

It can be said that Red Beard Hull's plan was successful, but he ignored one problem, that is, there were still more than 300 prisoners of war in the labor force.

In fact, it’s not the fault of Red Beard Hull. These three hundred people were scattered at various construction sites including the Mage Tower site when they were working. You can’t count the number of people clearly unless you visit the entire village. Pirate spies can do this. If not, they only dare to take a peek from a distance. Besides, even if they saw it, they would think it was the villagers going to work. Who would think of the prisoners of war?

Although these more than 300 people were prisoners of war, it was because they had followed Baron Lorient into the war, and they must be punished. Christine has promised that after they complete one year of construction work, they will become standing soldiers in the territory.

The regular soldiers of the Stewart Baron were allotted extra fields. This kind of good thing was something that was unthinkable before, so the prisoners of war had hope. As long as I'm fighting in the fields and on the battlefield, I'm not afraid of it. Isn't it just work? This is nothing.

Besides, although they were doing construction work, daily management and meals were in accordance with official soldier standards, and training was not left behind. After all, Christine wanted soldiers, not migrant workers, so morale was extremely high.

Several ships with nearly a hundred sailors came to the Port of Sarzo, and the security officer at the port could not be unprepared. In addition to sending more sentries, he wanted the soldiers to be prepared. He himself even lived in the barracks.

When the pirates took control of the hotels at the port, the clever guys escaped through the back door, and then relied on their familiarity to reach the barracks in the dark to report the news.

Unexpectedly, the nearly 100 people in these three caravans were disguised as pirates. The fifty soldiers in the barracks suddenly became weak, and the militiamen went home to live when they were not training.

The security officer immediately sounded the alarm bell. Residents who heard the bell closed their doors and windows and hid. This had been practiced for a long time. The militiamen gathered at the barracks. After all, they were protecting their homeland, so no one backed down.

However, the distant water could not quench the near thirst, so the security officer immediately found the prisoner of war camp manager who lived next door and armed the prisoners of war.

The militiamen's weapons and leather armors are kept in the barracks and cannot be taken home, so there are thirty sets. There are also ten sets of replacement leather armors and fifty spears in the barracks. Counting the original fifty soldiers, a total of one hundred and thirty men were armed, eighty of whom were armor-piercing. The remaining prisoners of war are not empty-handed, and a variety of long and short tools are also capable of attacking.

There are no street lights in the port. If you want to walk in the dark, you must light a lantern or a torch, so these nearly a hundred pirates lit torches and came to the barracks.

The task of this group of pirates is to keep an eye on the soldiers in the barracks, as long as they are not allowed to come out. By then, the situation will be stabilized when Redbeard Hull arrives with a large group of people.

The pirates definitely don't have any discipline. If they are allowed to rob, they will definitely disappear and they won't be called back no matter how they are called. Now that we are all together, no one dares to leave the team. After all, there are more than a hundred people who don’t know each other. If you dare to sneak away to grab something, I will definitely report you.

The pirate spies have roughly checked, and there are only forty or fifty soldiers in the port, so the leader feels that it is impossible for his nearly a hundred people to lose, and even if he loses, he cannot lose so fast.

Unexpectedly, they encountered 350 soldiers rushing out as soon as they arrived outside the barracks.

One hundred and thirty soldiers holding spears formed a spear formation, of which 80 soldiers wearing iron helmets and leather armor were in the first two rows without armor and in the third row, and others holding tools were scattered on both sides. .

I originally thought it was a sneak attack, but I didn't expect that the other side had so many soldiers. I couldn't see clearly in the dark, but it seemed that the other side had more armor-piercing soldiers than I did. I thought I had been ambushed and my morale suddenly disappeared.

The leader in charge was confused and didn't know what to do. In this moment of hesitation, the soldiers had already rushed over, so some of the pirates wanted to resist and some wanted to escape, and the scene was chaotic.

When there are more people than there are fewer, when morale is high, morale is lost, when organized, when there is no organization, when regular soldiers with armor fight against pirates without armor, what follows is a massacre.

And even if these pirates wanted to run away, they couldn't run away. If they ran with a torch, they would be a target. How could they run in the dark without a torch and outrun the soldiers who were familiar with the terrain. Soon most of the pirates died and only a few escaped.

The security officer only needed to interrogate the surrendered pirates to know Red Beard Hull's plan. After counting the pirates' bodies, he immediately knew how many people had escaped.

At this moment, the militiamen who came to gather at the barracks also arrived. The security officer immediately arranged for the militia captain to lead people to clear out the escaping pirates. After all, they were more familiar with the terrain. He left dozens of people to guard the barracks and prisoners, and at the same time went to the temple to ask a priest to come and treat the injured soldiers. He took 300 soldiers to support the mage tower construction site.

Originally, only one hundred and thirty people had weapons, but now they have obtained more than eighty weapons after defeating the pirates. Although the styles are different and the quality is worrying, it is better than nothing.
