Blackbird is indeed the type who relies on his brains to make a living.

Instead of swarming up, they chose to scatter their confidants around the team, while the other pirates gathered together and moved forward along the road.

Letting his confidants go in front is because he is afraid that there will be traitors in the team who will collude with the enemy to deceive him.

It’s not whether this kind of thing has happened among pirates, but it’s a common occurrence that has happened many times.

Zhao Hao and his troops are deep in the forest on both sides of the road.

It wasn't because of his clever calculation that he knew that the other party would choose the path as the route forward.

But because the road guides the enemy in the direction of progress, it also unconsciously allows the enemy to choose to advance on the road, so you can ambush on both sides of the road without fear of failure.

As for the enemy's unreasonable tactics and walking through the forest?

Let’s not talk about safety issues for now. It’s just a waste of time and something that the other party cannot accept.

So this is a conspiracy, and you are not afraid that the other party will not follow the path.

After more than half an hour, the pirates had advanced almost one kilometer.

"Let's do it!"

Seeing the enemy entering the predetermined battlefield, Zhao Hao signaled his heroes to take action.

The troops are divided into three commanders.

Among them, the Shadow Swordsman is led by Ellie, the Phantom Shooter and the Dragon are led by Zhao Hao, and the rest are led by Memphela.

Among pirates on rough roads!

Blackbird is surrounded by a famous captain.

As a big pirate, it is impossible not to have capable subordinates. These captains are all extremely capable.

Although not all are at the championship level, if you want to be a captain, you must at least have the strength to compete with the championship level, which shows how strong you are.

During the last raid on Mingyue City, none of these captains participated in the battle.

In other words, none of the big pirates showed their full strength that time, and only Tolan showed his true strength, so he suffered the biggest loss. It is no wonder that he was eager to show off his muscles later.

If he hadn't obtained the Fountain of Youth, his position as Pirate King might have been lost to someone else.

"Captain, you are just an adventurer. Do you need to gather everyone?"

A captain with a long sword and a wild attitude turned to ask his captain.

Others also looked at the black bird, wanting to know the reason.

For them, the adventurers were all 'weak' and not worth their while, let alone this formation. If Blackbird hadn't personally summoned them, they would not have participated in this operation at all.

"The other party is the guy who saved us in the Zhe Yue Plan!"

Blackbird revealed Zhao Hao's identity.

Um!

It was naturally impossible for him to talk about something like the Fountain of Youth.

Yes, he has already guessed what it is that brings Tolan back to his peak state.

Don't even mention him, some of the other pirates have guessed it too.

There are many ways to regain youth, but those methods are completely inappropriate. There are only a few treasures that can restore youth without any negative effects, and the strength does not decrease but increases. It is not difficult to guess.

As for the reason why he thought it was Zhao Hao, the 'adventurer', he was definitely the first, so he needed to get ahead of others as quickly as possible.

Even if you are an adventurer, if you are willing to spend money, there is nothing you can do to deal with it.

That's right, in order to deal with Zhao Hao, he spent a lot of money to get something aimed at adventurers.

"Is it that guy?"

The captain who asked the question nodded clearly. After the other party rescued Tolan and a group of big pirates, it really aroused the curiosity of many people.

Of course, whether you really believe in the Blackbird reason is another matter.

Even if they are all members of the Blackbird Pirates, it does not mean that they are all 'loyal'. Just look at the captains with twinkling eyes to know that they must be planning something.

Just when the captain wanted to take the opportunity to find out more information, he noticed that the black bird suddenly stopped and looked towards the forest to the side.

Soon, not only the Blackbird, but also all the pirates noticed that the ground was shaking slightly.

Boom, boom!

The thunderous sound of horse hooves kept approaching from the forest on both sides.

"Ready to fight!"

The pirate leaders gave orders one after another.

Of course, pirates don't pay attention to formation, they just stand together.

The gap between the regular army and the motley crew is not big in small-scale battles, but it is a huge difference on the real battlefield.

Just as the pirates were turning their attention to the depths of the forest.

On the crowns of those big trees.

Whizzing!

Arrows shot out of the air and rained down on the area where Blackbird and the seven captains were.

The one who shot the arrow was an elf holding a wooden bow and wearing a green cloak. If he hadn't taken the initiative to attack, no one would have noticed him.

Phantom shooter!

In the forest terrain, it is the perfect combination of assassin and archer.

Phantom: When there are a lot of plants around, you can enter a hidden state while standing still.

This unit attribute makes it impossible for the phantom shooter to be noticed by the pirates before taking action.

Poof, poof!

The incredibly powerful arrows easily penetrated the flesh and blood of the pirates and even nailed them to the ground.

There is no way, with the bonus of Zhao Hao, a hero with the phantom bow artifact, the phantom shooter's lethality is directly increased.

Killing instantly with one arrow is a basic operation, and killing several times with one arrow is not uncommon.

Two entire brigades of 600 units of phantom shooters easily harvested thousands of lives in just one round of arrow rain.

However, it is not without its failures.

That was the key target. Blackbird and several captains immediately used various means to avoid it, and even dragged many of the pirates around them to use as human shields.

A standard pirate 'bunker'.

Therefore, when standing next to the boss in battle, you really need to be mentally prepared to become a "human shield".

"Kill those archers!"

"Fight back!"

"Fuck me!"

The pirates also came to their senses and rushed towards the tree where the phantom shooter was standing.

He only took a few steps and then stepped back.

A centaur leader, half man and half horse, holding a spear, rushed out from under the canopy of the tree where the phantom shooters were standing with a violent momentum, and ran into the pirates.

Poof, poof!

The spear used its momentum to easily pierce the bodies of the pirates who had no defensive equipment.

Wherever the centaur leader rushed through, there was only a pile of corpses.

Because he has no charging skills and simply uses the momentum to increase his attack power, the centaur leader is getting slower and slower.

If it were a knight charging, these pirates could be easily crushed.

But if he were a knight, he wouldn't be able to charge in the forest.

"kill!"

Several flying knives in Blackbird's hand shot out like lightning, instantly killing several centaur leaders before shouting an order.

At this point he knew he was in an ambush.

But I am not surprised but happy about this.

Because from the beginning, what he was most afraid of was that Zhao Hao would abandon everything and run away, which would be useless no matter how strong he was.

Now that it is confirmed that the other party wants to repel you, it will undoubtedly give you an opportunity to seize the other party.

Fountain of Youth, I want to book it!

Blackbird's face was calm, but his eyes were flashing with excitement. Only by trying his best could he suppress the excitement in his heart.

After the centaur leaders exhausted their momentum, they did not fight on the spot, but turned around and retreated, giving the pirates no chance to fight in close combat.

Although it has the Memphela bonus, its defense is as hard as a steel plate.
