Alien Knights

"There's a signal from the port!"

From the watchtower of a giant four-masted Metachi, a pirate shouted to the deck.

In the darkness, a hill-like figure slowly stood up, walked to the bridge, and took out the binoculars to look at the distant sea.

The flickering light silenced the figure for a moment, then he raised his right hand and swung it forward vigorously.

The first mate standing aside shouted at the pirates, "Lord Barbarossa has orders! The target of the fleet - Muxi Port, the whole army assaults!"

The excited pirates raised their furled sails, tore off the camouflage sackcloth, and pushed out the dark muzzle.

Oil lamps were lit one after another on the ship, instantly illuminating the entire sea surface.

Looking down from the sky, there are nearly a hundred large and small ships, and there are busy pirates everywhere. They shouted the chant during the battle, and looked greedily at the brightly lit and dazzling harbor on the land far away. .

Taking advantage of the wind to break through the waves, the pirate's vanguard fleet broke the barricade at the entrance of Muxi Port, overturned all kinds of ships parked at the berth, and rushed directly to the shoal area of ​​the port.

The springboard and ropes were lowered from the deck, and nearly a thousand pirates from different forces and speaking various languages ​​rushed to the plank road in the port and set foot on this sacred land.

Looking at the huge machines in the port, the row upon row of houses, and the cargo piled up like a mountain, each pirate's face showed shock and excitement at the same time.

"I've heard people talk about the prosperity and wealth of Muxi City, and some people call it the "God's Blessed Land"." A pirate leader with gold teeth and blindfolds said dumbfoundedly: "Originally, I I thought that person was bragging, but now I understand, what he said is true..."

"Lord Barbarossa is here!"

Hearing the yell coming from behind, the pirate leader shuddered all over, hurriedly dodged out of the way, and hid aside with a low eyebrow.

With a majestic figure, stretched muscles, and fierce eyes, as soon as the man called Barbarossa walked into the port, all the pirates immediately fell silent, and the original noisy voices suddenly died down.

Barbarossa raised his head and looked at everything in the port, like a senior connoisseur admiring a perfect work of art, smiling and nodding slightly.

The first officer followed up from behind, walked to Barbarossa's side, and whispered, "The group of nobles sent envoys."

Barbarossa put away his smile, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Let them come over."

Two well-dressed envoys with anxious expressions looked at these vulgar pirates with distaste, walked up to Barbarossa, and said loudly: "On behalf of my master, we come to welcome the great pirate king. !"

Barbarossa waved his hand casually.

A middle-aged man among the two envoys said: "The naval barracks in the northern part of the port area are engaged in fierce battles, and the stubborn Royal Navy is trying to drive two warships out of the port!"

Seeing Barbarossa's expressionless face and no movement, another young envoy couldn't hold back his temper and rushed to say: "At the naval barracks, we are seriously short of manpower, and the battle has always been at a disadvantage. There is no way to capture the remaining ships. Lord Barbarossa, you and your men should get there as soon as possible and help us capture the naval barracks..."

Listening to the urging of the two messengers, Barbarossa smiled, but still did not move.

The middle-aged man said harshly: "Master Barbarossa, you will not forget, right? You and us once made a sacred contract! We will provide gold in exchange for the support of your army!"

Barbarossa looked at the middle-aged envoy who was talking to him, then at the young envoy behind him, and said slowly, "Go back and tell your master that I don't want the gold he promised."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone's jaws were almost dropped.

The pirates screamed in unison, but unexpectedly, no one dared to jump out to question Barbarossa's decision.

The middle-aged man slowly recovered from the shock. He stared into Barbarossa's eyes and said in a puzzled tone, "Great pirate king, I don't understand what you mean by that?"

Frederick Frederick rubbed his chin with one big hand, pointed to the port behind him with the other, and laughed loudly: "I want this port."

The middle-aged man opened his eyes in surprise: "What did you say?!"

"Are you deaf?" Barbarossa yelled, "I want control of the port of Muxi City!"

The middle-aged nobleman laughed back angrily: "My lord, this is completely different from our prior agreement!"

Barbarossa said indifferently: "Go back and ask your master, if he disagrees, I don't mind doing it myself, maybe... I can also go to meet the king of Muxi City, he might be more impressed by my proposal interest."

The middle-aged envoy blushed, and shouted while jumping: "This is a threat! This is a despicable deception! It is absolutely impossible for us to agree to such a request!"

"Listen! You stupid pig! I'm not asking anyone's opinion, I'm just looking for someone to spread the word for me!"

While speaking, Barbarossa stretched out his hand to his first officer, and the latter handed him the musket at his waist without hesitation.

boom!

After a loud noise, the middle-aged man's head was like a watermelon smashed by a sledgehammer, red and white things splashed everywhere, and the body fell straight to the ground.

The young emissary who witnessed all this turned pale with fright, staggered and fell to the ground, screaming like a woman.

Barbarossa threw the musket to the first mate, glanced at the young man whose crotch was slowly seeping water, and said with a smile, "One messenger is enough."

On the tall clock tower, listening to the news reported by his subordinates, the furious Rutledge almost fainted.

"That perfidious villain! That daring bastard!"

Rutledge overturned the map and sundries on the table and shouted, "I will lead the troops myself and drive those filthy pirates into the sea to feed the sharks!"

Dawson's old butler looked at the furious Rutledge and reminded softly, "Master, now is not the time to get angry."

Rutledge panted heavily, gritted his teeth, looked at Muxi City under the night and remained silent.

"The barracks of the Muxi Knights and the security team have been completely controlled by us; the nobles have controlled the traffic arteries in the city; the city hall, cathedral, and knights' council building have all been captured; although the North Island Knights are not fighting well, But the resistance of more than 200 people did not cause much impact at all."

Listening to the old housekeeper's analysis, Rutledge took a long breath: "You are right, it is not necessarily a bad thing for those pirates to give them a little sweetness now. Let them take the port now, and I will completely You can grab it back!"

The old housekeeper nodded: "Right now, there are two most troublesome things. First, the riots in the city have alerted those cabinet members. Most of the people we sent to arrest have returned without success..."

Rutledge said in a deep voice: "This is not a big problem. We now control all the roads out of the city. No matter where the cabinet members are hiding, they must still be in the city. After Muxi City is completely stabilized, we will If you have a lot of time, turn over the city inch by inch and search it thoroughly, they will definitely not be able to escape!"

The old housekeeper said softly: "Then, young master, there is only one thing left."

Rutledge raised his head, looked at the palace on the top of the mountain in the distance, and said with a sneer, "That's right, there is only one last thing left."
