Fireworks filled the sky, scattered limbs, and dead people everywhere.
The devastated Lev sat on the beach, as if a big bell was ringing in his mind, watching Corwin yelling at him in front of him, but he couldn't hear anything.
"Stand up! Get out of here!"
Some of the roaring sounds of the barbarian warriors finally reached Lev's ears.
With the help of the other party, the young pirate tried to stand up, but the severe pain in his lower body made him scream and fall to the ground again.
The two of them lowered their heads and looked. A piece of glass shard the size of a palm had penetrated deeply into Lev's thigh, and blood slowly flowed down the wound.
Kerwin looked at the depth of the wound through the flames on the beach, took out a cloth belt from his belt, tied it to Lev's thigh, and shouted to him: "Be patient!"
Before the other party could react, Kerwin suddenly pulled out the glass shards.
The screams echoed on the beach.
After one hour.
The barbarian leader and the pirate leader commanded their men to set up a temporary camp on the beach. The bodies of the dead and the injured affected by the explosion were carried into the camp one after another. However, due to the limitations of medical conditions, the latter only received simple treatment.
of treatment.
Some of the injured died slowly in pain and wailing, but more people completely lost their ability to fight due to their injuries.
After counting the number of people, the leaders sadly discovered that an explosion had taken away 14 lives directly or indirectly, and another 25 people had completely lost their ability to move. In addition to the men lost at sea, the pirates and barbarians had not yet entered.
The town has lost more than one-third of its combat power.
Someone proposed a retreat to the leader, but was immediately rejected.
The leaders unanimously believed that if they returned in a hurry without bringing back any loot from this attack, not only would the tribe's prestige be greatly damaged, but it would also arouse the ill will of their enemies.
With the campfire, the North Island pirates sang a war song next to the corpses of their comrades. In the lyrics, the souls of the war dead returned to the war temple, drank with the gods, ate meat, drank wine, and were at ease; while the barbarians were
The bodies were smeared with ink, and the corpses of the tribesmen were burned into ashes and put into jars.
After a night's rest, the troops from the north embarked on a journey of conquest again.
In the early morning, Muxi Town was like a ghost town, not even a single person could be seen. The doors of the houses were open to the outside, and some debris piled inside could be vaguely seen; hay and dung could also be found in the fences used to keep livestock.
Fork; In the supposedly lively pub, broken tables and chairs can be seen everywhere.
The pirates and barbarians searched every house along the street, looking for any valuable items. After a search, they found nothing except a few copper coins forgotten in the cracks of the floor and door.
"We were fooled by those scammers from the Silver Ring Kingdom!" Someone yelled in the team: "This is not a treasure trove of wealth at all!"
The leader frowned and continued to move forward with his soldiers, finally arriving at a wide square.
Looking at the cross on a steeple building at the end of the square, Lev, who was limping, asked Kerwin beside him: "Is that the church?"
The latter looked at him strangely: "You have never seen a church?"
"I have only seen some church ruins on the North Island. Besides, this is my first time going to sea with the tribe."
The team walked outside the church door and looked at a wooden sign standing at the door with the same words on the cross on the beach.
Seeing the soldiers retreating one after another, the leader sighed and gave the order to bypass the church.
Moving forward, the pirates and barbarians came to the commercial street of Muxi Town. The streets became narrower and narrower, with more and more buildings on both sides. Lev whispered: "This must have been very prosperous before."
Kerwin nodded.
The two leaders walked and discussed what to do next.
At this moment, a crossbow bolt shot straight from the roof of a house not far away, accurately hitting the head of the barbarian leader.
The short and fat sniper succeeded with one blow, packed up his crossbow, and quickly ran into the distance along the "bridges" that had already been erected with wooden planks on the roof.
Everyone in the team looked at the barbarian leader with disbelief as he slowly fell and stopped breathing. After a moment of silence, the barbarian warriors roared and drew out their weapons and shields and rushed towards the direction of the attack.
"Stop! Stop!"
The loud shouts of the pirate leader did not allow these angry avengers to gain any sense of calm. Seeing that the situation could no longer be controlled, the former had no choice but to shout to the remaining warriors and follow the barbarians to the front.
Further on, the commercial street was a little narrower, with only three people walking abreast. The barbarians looked at the crossbowmen running on the roof, accelerated their pursuit, but unknowingly entered a dead end.
.
Just as they were looking for a way out, hundreds of archers stood up from the rooftops and rained arrows down on the enemies crowded in the streets.
Unexpectedly and without a leader, the barbarians suffered a fatal blow in just tens of seconds, and scores of warriors fell like mowing grass. Until the pirate leader appeared, this kind of attack

----This is a gorgeous dividing line---
The overwhelming situation was effectively contained.
"Raise your shield! Squat down! Stick to the wall! Get out! Get out!"
After paying the price of dozens of lives, the furious barbarians finally walked out of this "street of death".
The number of pirates and barbarians fighting in the army has dropped from 500 when they first went to sea to less than 250.

"Lord Holy Son, we have defeated the enemy!"
Seeing the militiamen happily raising their weapons and cheering loudly, Todd breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared with the buildings in other parts of Muxi Town, when the commercial street was originally planned and constructed, there were still only half of the old shops and houses that had not had time to be renovated. These wooden houses clustered together have narrow streets, wide roofs, and high density.
, forming an excellent ambush location.
Of course, Walton's excellent "Crossbow" usage skills coupled with the "Eagle Eye" ability are also an indispensable condition for the success of this ambush.
Todd touched the bridge of his nose and thought to himself: Maybe in this battle, just relying on the militia and terrain advantages, the pirates and barbarians can be held back, and Rachel's special team may not have to appear...
A scout for the alien species hurriedly came to him and reported: "Master, the enemy has begun to take action!"
Todd asked quickly.
"The enemy divided the remaining troops into multiple squads and began to circle this area."
"Give up the attack and go around?
Todd pondered for a moment, then suddenly he had an idea, his mind tightened, and he suddenly understood the enemy's intention.
"Alfonso! Notify all militiamen to evacuate immediately! Withdraw to the second line of defense!"
Soon, after receiving the order, the militia group, led by Todd and Alfonso, quickly withdrew from the commercial street and rushed to the second line of defense in Muxi Town - the guard camp. When they just entered the camp,
Straight black smoke appeared in the direction of the commercial street. The enemies used fire attacks to turn the hiding place into a field of fire.
Todd wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered in his heart that it was dangerous.
However, after counting the number of people, the leader of the militia suddenly said loudly: "Master, there are four people who have not come back yet!"
"What?!"
Todd turned his head in surprise.
"It's a group of young people from the town. I heard someone said that in order to brag about their achievements, they wanted to find some trophies from the enemy's corpses, so they sneaked back..."
"Nonsense! A bunch of bastards! They are causing trouble for me at this juncture!" Todd waved his arms in annoyance and uttered a rare curse word.
Knight Alfonso picked up his iron helmet, put it on his head again, and strode towards the main entrance of the camp: "I'll go find them."
Todd shouted loudly several times, and the knight finally disappeared at the door, and his followers, Leslie, Walton, and Adelina also followed out.
Rachel walked up to Todd, looked at the latter's solemn look, and whispered: "He is going to die."
"I know……"
The woman added: "Do we need to send some people to help him?"
Todd looked up at the thickening black smoke in the distance, then looked back at the people in the camp, and gritted his teeth: "No, we have more important things to do... strengthen the defense of the camp and let the aliens
Get ready, team, there will be a tough battle next..."
——————————————
Alfonso supported the big sword with both hands, blocking the chop of a long axe. He pushed upward hard, kicked off the ground with his feet, leaned forward, crashed into the enemy's arms, and hit the opponent's abdomen fiercely with the hilt of the sword.
, after forcing him to kneel to the ground, he slashed down with his big sword, and the enemy's body and head were separated.
When his arm felt cold, he looked down and saw an arrow stuck in his gauntlet. Fortunately, the force was not strong and it only scratched some skin. He picked up the sword again and was about to take a step forward, charging towards the last of the three enemies.
One person and one crossbow bolt ended the pirate archer's life.
Walton stood out from the shadow of the building with a crossbow in hand and a proud smile on his face.
When Leslie walked past him, he glanced at him and said in a sinister tone: "Not bad, not bad. You are really good at shooting cold arrows."
Passing by the two people who were fighting together, Adelina walked out last and looked at the knight with a worried expression.
Alfonso was stunned.
Later, he shouted to his followers: "Go back to camp!"
No one moved.
He raised his volume by another three points: "I said, go back!"
Still no one moved.
Alfonso closed his eyes and turned around helplessly.
The commercial street has turned into a sea of fire, with blazing flames devouring the fragile wooden buildings, and the harsh sound of collapse filling our ears every moment.
Leslie took off his shirt, used the power of "Fire Breath", and walked at the front, clearing the road.
Walton jumped to avoid falling sparks and shouted urgently: "We have to find a way to find those guys!"
Adelina looked at the rats scurrying around on the ground and squatted down

-----This is a gorgeous dividing line-
She picked one up with her hands. Then she pointed in a direction and said to the others: "Go that way."
Under the guidance of the woman, the team arrived at the cellar of a tavern and successfully found the four militiamen who had left the team. However, the journey out was far more difficult than when they came in. The fire had already ignited the entire street. Under the scorching heat
, Alfonso even had to take off his iron armor. In the end, everyone used the well water behind the yard to wet the linen piled in the cellar of the tavern, put it on their bodies and used weapons to break the burning wall, and finally ended up in this flaming hell.
He found a way out of a desperate situation.
However, the eight people who had narrowly escaped death encountered a group of pirates on their way outside the commercial street.
The two groups of people met unexpectedly, each took out their weapons and stood facing each other.
Walton loaded the crossbow and pulled Adelina behind him.
Leslie drew his slingshot, and the four militiamen pulled out their short swords tremblingly.
Alfonso clenched the sword in his hand, observed the situation on the battlefield with his eyes, and counted the number of pirates in a low voice.
seven enemies.
With the roar of pirates, the battle begins.
Walton pressed the button of the crossbow machine, and a crossbow arrow with huge kinetic energy penetrated the wooden shield and inserted into the enemy's eye socket. But he did not have time to load the gun again. Looking at the enemy rushing in front of him, the short
The fat man dropped the crossbow, took out the dagger from his arms, and began to fight the enemy in close combat.
Leslie's "Fire Breath" ability could no longer function due to overuse. He took out the tinder rod from his arms, blew it brightly and held it between his teeth, then took out the small ball from the ammunition pouch on his waist.
After lighting it on the fire, use the slingshot to shoot it out.
Alfonso fought three enemies alone. Although the knight who had lost his armor had increased agility, he lacked any protective measures, causing wounds of various sizes to be added to his body.
At this critical moment, a group of rats swarmed into the battlefield from behind Adelina. They climbed onto the pirates' bodies, gnawed at their exposed skin, and even got into their armor, biting through the enemy's skin.
abdominal cavity.
The enemy screamed in pain and rolled around, trying to shake off these little devils, but it was all in vain. They eventually lost their strength and made no sound.
Seeing the rats all over the place slowly receding, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief after the battle.
The exhausted Alfonso fell to the ground, breathing heavily, but he did not realize that behind him stood a pirate covered in blood.
"careful!"
The long sword struck down and blood splattered everywhere.
Alfonso looked back and saw Adelina's fallen body.
"ah!!!"
The furious Walton picked up the crossbow from the ground, rushed behind the swaying pirate, and hit the opponent hard on the back of the head. Facing the fallen enemy, he used the crossbow as a war hammer and smashed the murderer's head like crazy.
Heads, brains and blood were splattered everywhere, and the iron crossbow was deformed by the smash, but the short and fat man still acted like a madman, mechanically repeating the attack.
"That's enough! Walton! That's enough!"
Leslie lifted Walton up with his arms and pulled him backwards.
Alfonso hugged Adelina with trembling hands, and the warm liquid slowly dripped down his arms onto the ground. The knight's throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he could only make a choking sound.
Throwing away the sword, he put the woman on his back and flew towards the escort camp.
"Boss..."
The whisper of the person on his back cheered up the knight: "Adelina! Stop talking, the camp is just ahead, hold on!"
"Boss, please talk to me for a while, please..." Adelina moved her head closer to Alfonso's ear: "I remember you once asked, why do you want to live... in
When I lost my husband, I felt that I was just a superfluous decoration in this world, and I lived with the intention of seeking death... However, during the subsequent journey, I met many people who cared about me, and they made me find love again.
I regained the courage to live..."
The woman used all her strength to say every word: "When we part with the deceased, we only remember the pain of separation, but always forget the feelings of the living... Can you understand what I mean?"
Alfonso's eyes were red and he nodded heavily.
"Great, I can finally help you, great..." Adelina slowly laid her head on the knight's shoulder and whispered: "Alfonso..."
————————————————
Alfonso De Cabo, who was covered in blood, held Adelina's cold hand and watched Todd slowly shake his head towards him.
The loud noises of killing outside the camp were getting farther and farther in his ears.
The knight stood up slowly and walked to the door of the camp warehouse. After pushing the door open, he passed by many alchemy equipment and medicine bottles and jars, and stopped in front of a glass culture tank. He lifted up the white cloth covering it and stretched out his hands.
Looking at the object in the liquid, I seemed to hear Todd's past words in my ears.
"The duty of a knight is to protect the old, the weak, women and children, and to fight for justice against injustice and evil. There is no so-called right or wrong with alien abilities."
