Chapter 4: Just out of the Novice Village
"Attention! Enemy ships approaching!"
"Attention! Enemy ships approaching!"
"Attention!..."
Some sailors with better eyesight first saw the approaching pirate longship and lowered their voices to warn their companions.
Soon, everyone saw the approaching pirates through the gaps in the railings.
Because the sailors adjusted their postures, the armor on their bodies made a slight friction sound.
"It's Iron Hook!" Meris muttered, as if she recognized the identity of this group of pirates.
"Iron Hook?" Viserys asked.
"This group of pirates not only operates in the Narrow Sea, but also often plunders in the lower reaches of the Rhoyne River."
The lower reaches of the Rhoyne River are the territory of Volantis.
As one of the most powerful cities among the nine free cities, being able to operate under their noses means that this group of pirates should not be weak.
"I'll leave this to you. I'll go to the port side."
"Yes." Viserys responded and looked at the Fang Tian Huaji in his hand. He didn't expect that the first time he saw blood was on the sea. The
approaching pirates found that the ship was actually quiet, so they were overjoyed.
This shows that the other party did not expect their attack at all.
Seeing that the distance was about the same, the pirates threw out their grapples and hooked them on the railing.
The big bear glanced at Viserys and found that he was breathing steadily and was not nervous at all. He did not look like he was going to the battlefield for the first time.
This surprised him even more.
You know, people who are brave and aggressive on weekdays may wet their pants on the battlefield.
For example, Regis, who was not far away from him, was so nervous that his teeth were chattering. This was a normal reaction.
Unlike Viserys, he even took the time to stuff a piece of dried meat into his mouth.
Realizing that the pirates were about to board the ship, the archers on the ship took out pruning branches and were ready to shoot at any time.
The rope connected to the grapples was stretched straight because it began to bear the weight.
The pirates climbed up nimbly like cicadas on willow branches.
In order to hide as much as possible, no one stuck their heads out. They all held their breath and waited for Meris's order,
while Meris looked at Dick who hid himself in a high place.
Judging that the distance was about the same, Dick put his hand in his mouth and blew a loud horn.
The pirate leader sneered and realized at this time that it was too late!
However, he did not expect that he would be greeted by a rain of arrows!
"Pull——"
With Meris's order, more than 30 archers stood up.
The pirate leader standing below and looking up only felt that the railing of the ship in front of him had grown a lot!
"Release——"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——
because the distance was close enough, many people became the unlucky ones who were shot directly in the face.
The armor given to them by the Frega family did not play any role.
"We were ambushed!"
The pirate leader finally reacted at this time.
But he did not intend to retreat. There were almost more than 200 people on his side, and there were probably less than 80 on the ship, let alone 100.
And the people on his side were all wearing armor, so they could attack quickly!
"Keep boarding! Keep boarding!"
The brown-skinned pirate leader shouted and urged.
And the pirates also tore a gap in the ship's defense line with their armor.
There were less than 30 sailors wearing armor on the Windblown Group, and many of them were wearing leather armor.
They only had a slight advantage at the beginning. When the pirates crawled up like locusts, they retreated step by step.
"Armor is really a good thing!"
Barand clenched his fists and felt very excited.
Vitas told himself that he could keep fifty sets of this batch of armor, but Barand decided to keep all of them!
You know, in battle, how big is the difference between having armor and not having armor, and between good armor and poor armor?
With more than two hundred sets of armor, he can immediately become a first-class pirate!
Then he can recruit soldiers and dominate the Rhoyne River! Just thinking about it makes me happy!
However, he soon found a place where his people could not push through.
With the moonlight, he found that there was a man there using a strange long-handled weapon.
No one could get close to him for a while. In just a
short while, seven or eight of his men died!
He even saw someone being slapped away by the long-handled weapon.
Barand didn't know that it was the Beggar King Viserys he was looking for. He always subconsciously thought that since Viserys won the sword fighting championship, he should use the sword.
At this time, Viserys couldn't find an enemy who could match him.
No one dared to come forward within five or six meters of him.
The big bear, who had a very good battlefield awareness, immediately used him as a backup and withstood many enemies.
Dany remembered what the second brother Long said, "shoot and move to another place", and also used the crossbow in her hand to deal with at least three enemies.
Viserys looked around and found that the direction of other people was a little dangerous.
They were even in danger of being divided and surrounded by this group of pirates.
Once divided and surrounded, it was estimated that they would not be able to wait for the support of Jarifa.
He alone could not handle nearly two hundred pirates.
Although he was strong, he was still some distance away from the King of Chu!
"We have to find a way to relieve some pressure on them." ' Viserys thought to himself,
and then he pulled open his mask, took off his helmet and shouted at the pirates around him:
"I am Viserys Targaryen! You bitches! Come on if you are not afraid of death!"
'Viserys! '
Looking at Viserys's flying silver hair, Barand was a little surprised. He didn't expect Viserys to be so fierce.
Although he won the duel, as a pirate who licks blood on the blade, Barand still disdains it.
He thinks that duels are just a show, and only the battlefield can be regarded as real swords and guns.
Even his reminder to his men not long ago was just a routine.
And Viserys's martial arts were far beyond his expectations.
But Viserys's roar also worked.
Many pirates turned around and attacked him.
However, they could only pay a heavier price.
They really had never seen such a strange weapon.
It can chop, cut, stab, and even smash!
And you can hear a "woooooo" sound when swinging it.
This shows that the weapon is very heavy, and further shows that the person swinging it is extremely powerful!
"Regis!"
Suddenly, Viserys heard the big bear's cry.
Looking back, a pirate of medium build wearing a sealskin cloak stabbed the dagger in his hand into Regis' neck!
As a mercenary in his previous life, Viserys didn't know how many comrades he had lost.
Although the excitement brought to him by the death of his comrades has become less and less, even to the point where he can forget it after a good night's sleep.
But Regis was the first companion to die since he came to this world.
The stinging feeling of losing a companion surged up again.
Dany, who was hiding in the dark and looking for an opportunity to shoot, also saw this scene.
She had always been a little afraid of Regis before, but as they became more and more familiar with each other, Dany found that he was actually a very simple big guy.
Especially after being impressed by Viserys' fighting skills, she almost became a little fan.
And he had never been rude to me. Even the crossbow in his hand was bought by Regis.
For a moment, the brother and sister felt a sense of grief and anger filling their chests.
They swung the halberd and strung the crossbow faster.
But the pirates kept coming!
Just as everyone was fighting hard, a long horn sounded not far away.
Barand looked back and saw that six large longships had suddenly surrounded him!
