Chapter 5: Boarding Battle
'What's going on! When did a fleet follow me?'
'Is he ambushed? But how did they contact each other?'
'Why did the Zainen family ship appear here!'
A series of questions and shocks made Barand's head roll, and he felt a little unstable.
But now no one could give him an answer. As the people on the ship gave orders, a rain of arrows came at him like locusts.
"Pull——"
"Release——"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Jarifa brought two hundred longbowmen, and the "firepower" was simply not comparable to the archers on Meris's ship.
In just a moment, the group of pirates were suppressed and couldn't raise their heads.
The pirates who kept climbing onto the ship also fell into the sea in panic.
The battle on the ship was reversed in an instant, and the battle line was pushed back.
Viserys no longer had any scruples, and rushed to where there were more people.
The Fang Tian Hua Ji knocked one away and hit three. The ferocious pirates suddenly became motionless dummies and let him slaughter them.
Barand looked around and felt that it was only a matter of time before his morale collapsed, so he had the idea of retreating.
But before he could make the next move, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky.
It hit his deck with a thud.
His legs felt the vibration, which made his back cold.
He saw a silver-haired soldier wearing black armor and a red three-headed dragon pattern standing in front of him.
Viserys Targaryen!
Barand immediately retreated repeatedly, and he shouted:
"Quick! Quick! Kill him!"
However, no one dared to do it. They all witnessed the fierce look of the second brother on the big ship just now. What
's more, the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand was still dripping with blood!
Some pirates who had to move forward under his coercion were either smashed away directly or had their spines broken in the middle.
Jarifa, who was not far away, couldn't help but marvel at this scene.
He had only seen such power in one person - Horse King Drogo!
Only under the election system of the Dothraki, which requires extremely high military strength for the leader, can warriors with such great power be selected!
The boarding battle of the second brother of the dragon directly disintegrated the remaining morale of the pirates.
Jarifa found that the time had come, so he led his men to start the boarding battle.
Almost all the remaining pirates chose to surrender within just a few minutes.
...
"You are not dead!"
After the battle, the second brother of the dragon came to Regis as soon as possible.
I thought he should have been dead, but I didn't expect to chat with the big bear!
Although the scimitar caused him a penetrating wound, it avoided the trachea and artery.
It can be said that as long as there is no infection, this guy will not die.
After confirming that Regis was not in danger of life and Dany was not injured, Viserys, Melis and Jarifa prepared to interrogate the pirates together.
After a search, in addition to the pirate leader Barand, there was only one captain and two second mates left.
As for the other captain, three first mates and one second mate, they were either killed or missing.
They must have fallen into the sea.
"Where did you get your armor?" Jarifa asked.
And Barand's answer was as expected, it was from the Frega family.
"Were you among the people who attacked Spider Viber in Shield Lake half a year ago?" Dick asked, covering his bandaged arm.
"My Lord, I was still in Battle Axe Point half a year ago."
Shield Lake is in the south of Essos, and Battle Axe Point is in the north of the continent, which is easy to verify.
"Tell us a reason not to kill you." Looking at Dick's wound, Melis was worried and angry.
"I deposited some money in the bank of Tyrosh, I think it can buy my life."
This is a common method used by pirates, basically useful for all pirates and the navy of most city-states.
But this time, the chips he put out were obviously not enough.
The blonde woman with scars on her face didn't seem to love money.
Barand had confirmed that he should be the fish that took the bait, and the other party definitely wanted more than just money.
Seeing that everyone, especially Melis, looked at him unkindly, Barand hurriedly said,
"I also know a piece of news about the pirates in the Rhoyne River."
From Dick's question just now, Barand thought that perhaps his colleagues in the Rhoyne River had offended these mercenaries.
So he tried to use this news to survive.
After all, how could there be any morality between pirates?
Everyone was unfamiliar with each other, so as long as they could save their lives, they would sell it.
According to his story, the pirates in the Rhoyne River, the Narrow Sea, and even the Jade Sea and the Sunset Sea will have a party at the end of the year, which is about four or five months later.
The pirates will exchange what they have at this party.
According to Barand, there will even be rare items such as the steel sword and dragon egg at the party.
It is not clear whether the dragon egg really appeared, but the steel sword did appear.
Melis was not satisfied with Barand's "news".
They also knew about some of the actions of the pirates.
However, it would be useless even if they knew.
The power of the pirates gathered together should not be underestimated.
The ships were densely packed, and there were tens of thousands of pirates at the gathering.
As for the place they chose, it was even more hidden and rugged. The army could not enter, and even if a small group of troops sneaked in, they would only be sent to the battlefield.
In other words, Barand's news was of no value.
When Melis was about to chop off his head and hang it on the bow, she was stopped by Jarifa.
"Madam, you can kill the others as you like, but I have to take him back."
Jarifa wanted to take back not only Barand, but also the armor of these pirates.
You know, armor is a "strategic" material. Hiding more of it will give you an extra trump card at a critical moment.
At the same time, these armors and pirates are also physical and witness evidence to accuse Frega.
Even if they can't cause any harm to them, they can greatly damage their reputation.
It makes it impossible for Tormo or his sons to run for the next Sea King.
This was also what he and Viserys had agreed on in advance.
In the end, everyone divided the spoils.
Jarifa only took away a few pirate leaders and their armor.
Their ships and the supplies on the ships were all left to Meris.
The Windblown lost nearly twenty sailors in this battle, but the spoils more than made up for the loss.
Especially the three longboats, if all of them were sold, they could be sold for at least three or four thousand gold dragons.
Meris ordered people to cut off fifty pirates' heads and hang them on the ship as a deterrent. The
heads of these pirates were hung on hemp ropes, swinging and colliding like wind chimes.
Everyone continued to move towards Tyrosh.
And Viserys took the opportunity to ask about 'Weibo'.
"About half a year ago, we confronted the people of the Cat's Group at Shield Lake, and Bloodbeard and a group of pirates ambushed our people."
