The fish was indeed not too big. After more than an hour, the boat finally docked. Three to four hundred meters close to the shore, the boat slowly anchored parallel to the coastline on one side and did not sail directly into the Opal River.
Come.
This is a medium-sized Starri-style two-masted sea-going ship with double-sided triangular soft sails and double decks. However, Alfred, as a wood elf, has excellent eyesight that surpasses all other races at dawn.
It seems that, at least on the lower deck on the side near the coast, there is no trace of the magic crystal cannon.
The highest main mast of this pirate ship hangs a flag with a blue background, with fourteen white fourteen-pointed stars forming a star ring. It is Starry's fourteen-star flag, and a slightly shorter mast
A flag with alternating blue, white and red pinstripes hangs above it, with two crossed black bones occupying the entire flag, which represents that this pirate ship comes from the notorious Black Bone Pirates.
Of course, the Black Bone Pirates are the name of the Green Sea Dynasty. Within Starri, the official name of the Black Bone Pirates is the Black Bone Privateers, ranking 19th among Starri's 33 main divisions.
A large privateering pirate organization with over 10,000 pirates.
Of course, a small or medium-sized two-masted sailing ship cannot be the main battleship of the Black Bone Pirates. The main battleship of the Black Bone Pirates is at least a three-masted warship over 60 meters. Generally, they do not dare to approach the coastline within the Glenson Tower.
That way you will be hunted mercilessly by the sea elves.
And this is also true. After the pirate ship anchored itself on the seabed, it put down eight small boats and rowed towards the shore.
Alfred, who had completely hidden himself behind a boulder on the riverbed, saw all this. He quickly counted the number of pirates on the boat. Well, 45 webbed men and 17 sharp-toothed shark men.
, it is visually estimated that there is no combat power above master, but it cannot be ruled out that the combat power above master does not land with the team.
Alfred clearly remembered that among the small boats that had just been lowered by the Black Bone Pirates, six were lowered from the side of the ship near the coastline, and two were lowered from the side of the ship from the other side.
After entering the sea, we bypassed the pirate ship and then joined the 6 small boats and rowed to the shore together.
According to Alfred's inference, there are estimated to be at least three small boats on the side of the ship far away from the coastline. This shows that if the first wave of attacks can annihilate all the pirates who have logged in, then the other party can give them to the shore.
Support is limited.
But Alfred didn't want to do this. Just annihilating the pirates who landed was not what he wanted. The pirates sent to the shore to fetch water were unlikely to have big names on the ship. Even if they were completely annihilated, it was unlikely that they would be able to escape from these low-level pirates.
No matter what valuable loot you get, you may not even be able to recoup the cost of the arrows you lost.
Alfred wanted more, and the pirate ship opposite was undoubtedly the best trophy. Not to mention that he could sell the ship to the sea elves at a high price so that the sea elves could cover up the shame of pirates approaching the coastline.
The numerous new scars on this pirate ship mean that the ship has either been chased or has just completed a robbery. There is at least half a chance that there is loot on the ship.
Alfred pinched the tiger's mouth of his left hand with his right hand and murmured to himself: "We have to find a way to lure the remaining pirates on the ship to the shore..."
Alfred thought for a few minutes and made a series of gestures in the direction of the forest, asking the archers in the forest: "Can you confirm the number of people on the boat?"
At the edge of the forest, an archer on a big tree who had been paying attention to Alfred also conveyed Alfred's question in sign language, and then every elf hidden on the big tree in the forest
Avatar signals relay messages.
In the end, after Melly compiled a summary of the six archers who were responsible for keeping an eye on the pirate ship, she passed the information to Alfred in sign language:
"There are 12 webbed peons on the upper deck, and 6 sharp-tooth shark pirates were found on the lower deck. It is expected that there will be no more than 20 people on board."
Alfred thought for about a minute, squeezed the tiger's mouth of his left hand with his right hand, made up his mind, and then spoke a series of sign language to the archer at the edge of the forest:
"Captain Mei Li, please come to my place. Everyone else should stay in hiding and keep an eye on the opponent's movements. Don't attack unless absolutely necessary."
After the information was passed on, Alfred turned around, turned his back to the boulder, completely hid himself behind the boulder, closed his eyes against the boulder, and began to perfect the plan in his mind.
Mellie quickly came to Alfred's side. She was as agile as a vigorous cat and did not make a sound. With the help of the cover of the messy boulders on the river beach, she quietly approached Alfred without making any sound.
It aroused the ideas of the pirates who were rowing hard at the mouth of the sea.
Alfred opened his eyes, looked at Mellie, and typed a series of sign language: "Can you confirm the accurate number of people on the other side?"
Meili also replied in sign language: "No, but I don't think there will be more than 90 people."
Alfred thought for a while and asked: "What about the estimated combat strength?"
Meili replied: "According to past experience, there will be no more than two master levels."
Alfred fell into deep thought again, and Mellie did not interrupt. The pirates who were about to land were still rowing. Even if they landed, they were still some distance away from the arranged hunting ground. Even if the other party had already entered the hunting ground, there was no need to worry and hide.
The elven archers and hunters are not so easy to spot.
As for the bugbears, well, they were buried.
Alfred frowned and thought for a long time, while Mellie waited patiently without any impatience or urging on her face. Fifteen minutes later, Alfred suddenly thought of something, and suddenly
He stood up, exposed his head behind the boulder, and carefully observed the pirates' boats.
At this time, the pirates' small boat had already docked. The pirates got off the boat in a noisy manner, walking to the shore with knee-deep water, talking loudly to each other in strange tones, and then burst into laughter.
Even from a distance of more than two kilometers, Alfred could vaguely hear the other party's unpleasant voice carried by the salty and humid sea breeze.
Alfred stared motionless until all of them came ashore. A sharp-toothed shark man raised the brass oil lamp box in his hand and flashed a burst of light at the pirate ship in the distance.
Soon there was a flash of light on the pirate ship opposite. The sharp-toothed shark man holding a brass oil lamp box on the shore put down the brass oil lamp box in his hand. He first opened the lid, blew out the oil lamp inside, and then went ashore together.
The pirates said something loudly, and then the pirates dispersed in a hurry.
The webbed people ran to the river carrying large wooden barrels in pairs, while the sharp-toothed shark pirates dispersed and wandered on the beach, even wrestling with each other to grab a piece of shell.
Only then did Alfred look away from the pirates on the beach. There was no longer any hesitation on his face. The frown he had been frowning just now relaxed, and his face returned to that confident and elegant nobleman.
What a housekeeper should be like.
Alfred glanced approvingly at Mellie, who had been waiting patiently beside him, with a smile on his face and said quickly in sign language:
"Miss Mei Li, please play a play with me..."
…
The sky began to brighten gradually, the blue of the clouds in the eastern sky gradually faded, and finally a magnificent purple halo appeared. The forest began to echo with untimely calls of cuckoos. However, this untimely bird
The cry, along with the short and swift one in the forest, was ignored by the relaxed pirates on the shore.
It had been a long time since they had enjoyed the refreshing feeling of putting their feet on the ground.
Alfred and Mellie hunkered down and sneaked along the river beach toward the estuary. At this time, the two of them had changed their clothes.
Alfred put on his most luxurious dress. The dark blue dress trimmed with gold piping and decorated with countless complicated patterns made Alfred very noble.
At this time, Mellie also put on a smart and simple robe, carrying two horn bows and two quivers on her back, following Alfred like his maid.
As they walked, the two of them randomly picked up mud from the river beach and smeared it on their clothes, making themselves look miserable.
Alfred and Mellie walked in secret until they came to the place where the people were getting water, and hid among the rocks. Alfred and Mellie looked at each other, and Mellie headed in the direction of the arranged hunting ground.
Made a cryptic gesture.
Mellie turned her attention back to Alfred again. Alfred took a deep breath, turned around, slightly exposed himself from the stone, pretending to be frightened on his face, and let out a suppressed expression of shock.
call.
Immediately, the vigilant people who were fetching water more than fifty meters away turned to look in the direction of Alfred's exclamation. Mellie stood up from the pile of rocks pretending to be frightened and let out a sharp scream.
Screaming, this immediately attracted the attention of the webbed people.
Alfred also stood up at this time, and while yelling and cursing, he pushed Mellie into the pile of rocks again, and at the same time roughly grabbed the quiver on Mellie's body and hung it on his body, and then roughly snatched it away.
The horn bow that Mei Li handed over.
He quickly drew an arrow from his quiver, put it on his horn bow, and shot down the nearest webbed man with one arrow.
The webbed man was about to shout something loudly, but Alfred shot an arrow through his open mouth. Blood froth came out of his mouth "ho ho ho", and then he fell on his back and died.
This arrow was like a drop of water being thrown into a hot oil pan. With a crash, the webbed people exploded. Some of them turned around and shouted in the direction of the beach, calling to the sharp-toothed shark people who came ashore with them.
More of them drew out the inferior bone weapons they carried and rushed towards Alfred and Mellie.
Alfred skillfully used the horn bow to quickly shoot a series of arrows. Each arrow knocked down the webbed man rushing at the front, with a gloomy look on his face.
Meili also stood up again, with a look of horror still on her face. She forced herself to calm down, and she also nocked an arrow and fired her bow. However, it seemed that she was too frightened, and the arrow missed it crookedly.
A webbed man flew past the hand and finally landed on the river beach.
Alfred shot down seven or eight webbed men, causing the webbed men to lag behind from charging. Just as he was about to pursue the victory, his right hand that drew the arrow missed an empty space. He touched it in disbelief, and the arrow was finished.
Alfred cursed in a low voice, picked up Mellie with his right hand, who was still struggling to aim, and fled towards the forest. It seemed that due to the powerful explosive power of despair, Alfred and Mellie quickly got in.
In the forest, disappeared.
The webbed people wanted to catch up, but they were stopped by the sharp-toothed shark people who caught up. One of the webbed people pulled out the arrow from the corpse of his companion, looked at it, his eyes lit up, and he was about to hide the arrow in his weapon bag.
However, the sharp-toothed shark man who had been lifting the brass oil lamp box was caught up and snatched it away, then kicked the webbed man down.
The webbed man didn't dare to resist and crawled to the side timidly.
The sharp-toothed shark man looked at the arrows carefully for a while, with a playful and bloodthirsty smile on his face. He shouted a few instructions, quickly ran to the beach, and shot at the pirate ship before daylight.
A string of lights.
Alfred had already climbed up a huge tree at this time, hiding himself among the branches and leaves, watching the sharp-toothed shark man signal, with a smile on his face.
