"Rumble!"
Bursts of gunfire resounded over the town of this southern island. Pirate ships with black sails could be seen near the port in the distance. Hundreds of cannons fired at the city wall at the same time, and a gap was blasted out in just one round of fire. The fierce vitality suppressed the defenders on the city wall and they could only find ways to hide in the corner. There were cries and shouts everywhere in the town. This sudden attack frightened the civilians who usually lived a comfortable life.
"Damn it!"
A man dressed in noble attire shouted, "Return fire! Fight back quickly! "
"Why are there pirates here?"
"Black flag!"
"Aren't they the Beheader's men? Why are they attacking us? Aren't they afraid of the kingdom's revenge? "
"Rumble!"
What answered him was a second round of gunfire. With the suppression of firepower, speedboats were released from the pirate ship in front. Groups of ferocious-looking pirates began to disembark with weapons in their hands. Some jumped directly into the sea and then rushed towards the town ahead. Bursts of strange cries sounded, and the pirates waved their weapons and rushed towards the town's defenders, launching an almost one-sided massacre.
"Attack!"
"All of you, charge!"
A cold light appeared in the one-eyed man's eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Don't worry about those ordinary people! Break through the governor's mansion! What can those civilians do! "
"Let's end this quickly!"
"There are troops from the southern island countries stationed nearby. We must retreat before they arrive!"
"Rumble!"
The one-eyed man killed a guard with a swing of his sword, glanced around, and then said: "Follow me! This is the Chamber of Commerce's residence! Charge in! "
A group of pirates rushed over and fought with the guards of the Chamber of Commerce.
The whole town has been plunged into war, but the core of the battle was still where the nobles and merchants lived. The slums were not affected much. Because no pirate would be stupid enough to rob there. There was no profit there. At most, they could snatch some rotten bread and a few pieces of copper Derahls from them. Soon, one of the Chamber of Commerce's residences was captured. Among the bloody corpses lying on the ground, two burly pirates carried a box. At this time, another garrison counterattacked, and they immediately picked up their weapons to fight.
Whoosh.
The box he was carrying fell to the ground, and Kindler and Silver Derahls immediately spilled out. The shiny gold coins attracted the attention of many people. Then a few guys who looked a little different from the pirates rushed over and grabbed a handful of gold coins, ready to stuff them into their pockets.
Clang!
A cold light flashed.
One-eyed Pirate swung his sword and beheaded the pirates who were trying to rob him. He then looked around coldly. His gaze stopped on the leader of another group of pirates and roared, "Have you forgotten the rules set by Sir Søren? Whoever dares to act recklessly will end up like him! "
There were clearly two groups of pirates attacking.
One group was well-organized and ferocious, attacking the warehouses and mansions in a planned and arranged manner. The other group was looting wherever they went. Some pirates wanted to retreat after getting something.
Needless to say, they were just a small group of pirates that fought alongside him.
"Broken!"
"The storehouse has been breached!"
Cheers came from the front, followed by shouts of killing. One-eyed Dragon looked around and said to his confidants, "Follow me!"
Boom!
The door of the storehouse was smashed open, and the wealth inside was immediately revealed to the others.
There were boxes of Kindler and Silver Derahls, a variety of other goods, as well as food that was collected as taxes. The southern island countries were quite rich. The entire storehouse was filled to the brim, and there were also many swords and weapons.
"Take it away."
"Take it all away! Hurry up and take it away! "
One-eyed Dragon smiled with satisfaction, then shouted, "Has the governor's mansion been breached?"
"No."
A young pirate replied, "There's a Magus there! We've suffered a lot of casualties! Canado and his men have retreated. Let those guys go and waste their time with them. "
Wizard?
One-eyed Dragon heard this and narrowed his eyes, then said, "Then let them have it. Hurry up and take it away. "
"The army should be here in half a day."
Boom! Boom!
Boom! The sound of gunfire continued. On the east side of the town, there was a castle built halfway up the mountain. The mansion at the foot of the mountain had been breached, but the nobles who ruled here had retreated to the castle. Without enough firepower, it was very difficult to capture the castle. After the first wave of attack was defeated by the defenders, a group of pirates had retreated.
"Damn it!"
An old noble stood on the castle and roared, "Where are the reinforcements from Nag City? Why haven't they come yet? "
"These damn pirates! I want … "
Boom!
A pirate warship turned around and fired at the castle halfway up the mountain, but it was beyond the range of the cannons, so it was basically useless.
The battle was still going on!
However, some pirates began to retreat in an organized manner, carrying boxes of gold, silver, and goods back. In the end, they didn't even let go of the food in the storehouse. They carried sacks of it back to the warship. The whole town was a mess. Many places were on fire, and cries could be heard everywhere. Sporadic battles were still going on in some corners.
By the time these pirates retreated, the whole town had almost turned into ruins. The only intact place was the slums, which had no profits. Another place that was almost unaffected was the temple. Few pirates dared to attack the temple, so it had become a shelter for the poor. Many old, weak, women, and children hid here to seek shelter. The power of the gods made mortals fearful. Even these fierce and cruel pirates did not dare to attack the temple.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! There were cheers and howls on the pirate ship. The gunners fired a few more shots at the town in front of them, and then left calmly.
…
The same scene happened in many places.
The pirate leaders under Søren's command, as well as the scattered pirates summoned by the corresponding pirate kings, looted the cities along the coast of the Southern Island Kingdom. The endless attacks made the army of the Southern Island Kingdom exhausted. Except for a few towns that were not captured, many places were looted like here. And because the kingdom's navy was taken out by Prince Hans, now they couldn't even go out to sea to fight. They could only hide in the town and defend passively.
The sea had completely become the world of pirates. Everything seemed to be in a mess.
The pirates were rampant.
The Southern Island Kingdom had to issue an order to retreat and evacuate all the towns along the coast. As long as they were far away from the coastline, the pirates had to go ashore to attack. Once they went ashore, they would be no match for the regular army. And as long as they were far away from the coast, it would not be so easy for the pirates to retreat. A heavy cavalry of the Southern Island Kingdom could make them suffer!
But.
It seemed that all the pirates had no intention of going ashore to fight.
