Ronan's side dealt with it easily, but some warships with a smaller crew than Ronan's side and warships that went too deep and were besieged still encountered trouble.
They were overwhelmed by the pirates coming from all directions. Rexxar had to arrange other warships to support them, but in general, Sutlan's side had the upper hand.
Perhaps, as Mario said, the Eredar just hired a group of dizzy pirates to block or even weaken Sutland's support team.
Ronan was so angry that he even led his men to rush to the pirate ship in reverse direction. The Nord royal guards took the lead, raising their shields and bowing against the pirates' arrows as they advanced along the ladder.
When he reached the edge of the deck, it was time to make a big jump and fall into the pirate formation. He directly knocked down one person with his shield down, and then threw three throwing axes into the crowd.
The Nords quickly gained a foothold on the pirate ship, and Ronan led the Vaegian Knights and Templars who followed. Holding a knife in both hands, he deflected a pirate's scimitar, and then walked around behind him, holding a knife in both hands.
His armpit stabbed into the pirate's back.
Another pirate who wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack Ronan was directly hit in the head by a Vaegian knight who had just boarded the ship with a scepter.
The situation soon became clear. The pirates were completely unable to cause trouble to Ronan and others. Many people chose to jump directly into the sea and swim to other pirate ships. However, they were immediately named by the elven archers with bows and arrows.
The pirates quickly broke up, leaving behind several occupied ships and hundreds of corpses before fleeing hastily. There were only a few dozen casualties on the Xutlan side, mostly caused by the warship that rushed too hard and was surrounded.
Ronan returned to the Wavebreaker from the pirate ship, took the towel handed by his subordinates and wiped the blood splashed on his face. After wiping the knife, he threw the towel into the sea.
At this time, the sea area was dyed red with blood, and many shark fins were exposed out of the water and scratching around. It was obviously the smell of blood that attracted these predators, and they came here from thousands of miles away to enjoy a feast.
The warships were all basically unharmed, and a small scratch did not affect the route. Only one ship was hit by several pirate ships in succession and was severely damaged. It had to be replaced by a relatively intact pirate ship.
The fleet did not waste time searching for loot, because these pirates did not have much loot. At most, they only had some food, drinks and weapons on the ship, which Sutland's troops were not short of.
A fire burned all the remaining ships, and the fleet set off again.
The Snake Cult believers did not expect these pirates to defeat the Suntlan army, but they did disgust the Suntlan army.
Although the smaller ships make the pirate ships inferior to warships in terms of combat effectiveness and troop transport capabilities, they are much ahead in speed. Sutland's fleet cannot catch up with them at all. They are always hanging behind the fleet and come to harass them every day.
Although they did not cause any casualties to Suntland's troops and suffered a lot of losses themselves, they succeeded in doubling the fleet's sailing time and completed the delayed mission.
Finally arriving at the port of Terra, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although these pirates did not cause them much trouble, the harassment day after day still aggravated the fatigue caused by the long voyage.
The fleet slowly docked at the place reserved in Terra Port. From here, you can see the majestic city not far away.
The khaki-colored Terra City stands on a cliff not far from the port. The entire city has only one exit, and it occupies a convenient location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The situation does not seem too bad, and the coalition forces have not yet reached Terra City.
Otherwise, the fleet would not be able to dock smoothly at all. As soon as the fleet docked, a group of Terrans wearing long robes and turbans came to greet them.
Rexxar immediately started chatting with the leader of the other party. Ronan didn't pay attention to what they were talking about, but walked back and forth on the ground to feel the feeling of being grounded. The life at sea during this period made him feel like he was almost floating.
At the same time, the system prompts that the first ring mission has been completed, but the second ring mission has not been triggered. It seems that the combat mission will be triggered after entering the city of Terra and understanding the combat mission.
The supplies have been unloaded from the ship and loaded onto the carriage with the help of the Terran people. The horses have also been led out. More than a month of sea travel has made the horses' fur a lot duller, and some of them are still alive.
sick.
At this time, Rexxar had finished talking with General Terra, and the team took action again, forming a long formation.
An hour later, the troops entered the city of Terra, and the soldiers settled down in the arranged military camps. Ronan, Mario and other team leaders would follow Rexxa to the Palace of Terra to discuss the next battle.
Enduring physical exhaustion and hunger, I finally arrived at my destination after walking for another half an hour.
At this time, the King of Terra and Terra's senior generals were already waiting at a large council table.
King Gog of Terra is fifty-three years old. Paleness has infected the corners of his hair, wrinkles have crept onto his face, and his once strong body has become weak.
He will abdicate in a few years, so he is even more urgent to win this war, because he does not want to be the king of subjugation, and Terra at least cannot decline in his hands.
Standing on the left side of King Terra is the eldest prince Gao Gen, who is also the heir of Terra. King Terra has a son in his old age. Gao Gen is only around 20 years old. He is young and vigorous. At this time, he is wearing the same clothes as King Terra's right.
The scale-armored general argued fiercely.
On the right side of King Terra is Terra's Grand Marshal, Hogul. Hogul was the first general to follow King Terra. He accompanied King Terra and won many battles. However, the growth of his age has made him no longer what he once was.
The impulse became more stable.
At this time, Gaogen and Hogul were quarreling over strategic differences. Gaogen advocated a radical counterattack, while Hogul advocated a stable defense. The King of Terra sat in the first place and said nothing.
Seeing the Xuntran reinforcements headed by Rexxar entering the hall under the leadership of the guards, King Terra stretched out his hand to signal Gao Gen and Hogul to stop.
Lexa bowed to the King of Terra and took the lead to find a seat and sit down. Ronan also bowed in a decent manner and sat down. During this month at sea, Mario has been specialized in this aspect.
Special training was given to Ronan. After all, Ronan knew nothing about the etiquette of various countries.
In addition to the Silver Moon Clan headed by Ronan Mario and the Nebula Clan headed by Rexxar, this support also includes the elf mage Inela-Huan Yu who represents the Huan Yu Clan. I heard that she is Sesma’s sister.
, the elf knight Nolin-Zhuri representing the Zhuri clan, and the elf ranger Sandora-Lingmu representing the Lingmu clan.
In addition to these five major families, there are also a team of 600 mercenaries led by Rexxar.
These people are the core figures of their respective families. The purpose of sending troops to support Terra this time is the same as Mario's, to gain fame for their young master and add chips to the fight for the throne.
