Chapter 5266 The army is coming!
According to Tang Zhen's request, the pirates stopped at the port dock and began to prepare for war.
The enemy officials will never give up on this matter, and the conquest army should arrive soon.
We must not put all our hopes on Tang Zhen, the pirates must also work hard.
If Tang Zhen lets go, the pirates will have to save themselves. They can't just stretch their necks and wait for death.
Although Tang Zhen was powerful, he could not give the pirates enough sense of security. Facing a powerful country, anyone would secretly feel scared in their hearts.
Including the sense of security, it is also seriously lacking.
In the eyes of many pirates, they are just tools used by Tang Zhen and may be abandoned at any time.
However, such thoughts must not be revealed, so as not to bear the wrath of the extraordinary.
Those skeleton monsters hiding in dark corners, or soaking in buckets to nourish their bones, and covered with seaweed, make the pirates dare not have other thoughts.
Having seen these skeleton monsters killing enemies on the battlefield, the pirates were all ashamed.
After a day, a group of people asked to see him.
A large group of businessmen who chose to flee because of the outbreak of the war are now returning to the port terminal.
They find someone to intercede, hoping to get the goods back and preferably leave the port.
Pirates also eat, drink and have sex. Although they wander in the ocean, they are closely connected with the land.
Someone is needed to buy supplies, help deal with various messes, and inquire about all kinds of urgent news.
At this moment, the merchants found a middleman to contact the pirate leader.
They are willing to pay to redeem their goods and gain the right to leave the dock.
Losing some property is much better than losing everything.
Especially for many businessmen, their life savings are on the boat and they will risk their lives to get it back.
The businessmen originally thought that the begging process would be difficult, and they were mentally prepared for it.
Unexpectedly, when they made the request, the pirate leader did not do anything difficult.
After simply asking for registration and confirming that there are no problems, you can take someone to move the goods away.
The same is true for cargo ships. After confirmation, you can set sail and leave the dock.
Not to withhold a piece of goods, not to ask for a ransom of one dollar, this is the extreme level of benevolence and righteousness.
Such abnormal behavior surprised the businessmen.
Soon they realized that it was not the pirates who really made the decision, but the extraordinary existence hidden behind them.
That powerful being was not interested in the wealth and was unwilling to embarrass ordinary people like them, so this happened.
If it were any other pirate leader, it would never be so easy to get his goods back.
Knowing the real reason, the businessmen praised and praised that extraordinary existence, thinking that he was a true sage.
Saying nice words doesn't cost money and can please the extraordinary ones. Businessmen naturally know how to do it.
The previous wars had little to do with these businessmen, and they even felt a little happy in their hearts.
In this dock and port, they were often bullied and exploited, but they always dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
The garrison officers and soldiers here are all a group of greedy moths who like to suck blood from merchants.
Nowadays, those bastards are either killed by monsters or have escaped in embarrassment, which is simply a great pleasure.
Of course, this idea can only be discussed in private and must not be expressed in public.
Otherwise, if others find out, you may get into trouble.
They are just ordinary people. Unlike the vicious pirates, they have no courage to go against the authorities.
Not long after, the dock became lively again. Cargoes of goods were moved away, and cargo ships left one after another.
The wharf, which was filled with various supplies, became increasingly empty, and the lively scene gradually became deserted.
Although the goods were moved away, enough living supplies were left behind. After all, the pirates also had to eat to fill their stomachs.
There are many things among them that the businessmen left on their own initiative to express their gratitude.
People living near the dock have been very careful recently, always paying attention to what is going on outside. Once there is an abnormal situation, they will stay away as quickly as possible to avoid being affected by the war and losing their lives.
They also know that a battle may break out at any time, and if they are involved, their death will only be regarded as a wasted death.
After three days, there was finally movement.
An army quietly arrived, totaling three thousand people, and surrounded the towns outside the harbor.
Set checkpoints at intersections and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Violators will be severely punished.
Many town residents were beaten up and driven into smelly puddles.
After the army arrived, they were not in a hurry to launch an attack. They were obviously waiting for more reinforcements.
After another half day, some large ships appeared on the sea, which were from nearby imperial warships.
As the warship approached, the troops on the outskirts of the town slowly advanced towards the dock.
It was obvious from the looks of it that they were going to adopt encirclement tactics in an attempt to annihilate all the pirates in the port.
What happened this time had a huge impact and made the upper class people extremely angry.
The arriving army received orders to resolve the matter seriously and quickly, and must not let any of the participants go.
Since extraordinary people are involved, the royal family has sent several extraordinary worshipers, who are now gathering towards the port dock.
In a day at most, they will answer one after another.
According to the original plan, it was necessary to wait until the royal tribute arrived before launching an attack on the harbor dock.
But the general in charge did not want to let others take away the credit, so he decided to launch an attack in advance.
Although it has been confirmed that there are extraordinary people involved in this incident, it will bring a lot of uncertainty to the war.
The commander didn't think so. He had also seen extraordinary people and personally learned their methods.
It is indeed quite magical, making people feel amazed and envious.
However, the commander also knows that although extraordinary beings are strange and magical, they cannot fight against powerful armies.
Faced with countless soldiers, as well as powerful artillery and swords, the extraordinary ones were afraid to avoid them.
In the past years, there have been only a few dozen cases of extraordinary beings being killed by ordinary people.
Facts are enough to prove that extraordinary beings are not omnipotent and are also made of flesh and blood.
If an extraordinary person is really powerful, he will not hide in a dark corner, but stand openly and openly in the sun.
A commander who thinks he has a strong army and a strong horse, and who wants to gain meritorious service, will definitely not deliberately wait for the arrival of royal tribute.
Not only to prevent the other party from grabbing the credit, but also to prevent others from making irresponsible remarks, saying that he is waiting for the royal tribute to come because he is afraid of extraordinary beings.
At the same time, this method was used to prove to some people that extraordinary beings are not as powerful as they imagined.
As the war begins, commanders come to the front lines to prepare to supervise the war and boost morale.
Standing on the top of the water tower in the town, watching the warship artillery bombarding the dock, his soldiers getting closer and closer to the dock, the commander had a satisfied smile on his face.
According to his estimation, this battle can be over in about an hour at most.
When that time comes, he will personally take charge of the trial and hang the pirates one by one.
While he was fantasizing in his heart, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The sound of gunfire from the sea suddenly became sparse, as if something unexpected had happened.
“Give me the telescope quickly!”
The commander shouted, took the telescope handed by his entourage, and pointed it in the direction of the sea to observe carefully.
At this time, he was shocked to find that there were skeleton monsters everywhere on the deck of the warship.
There are also many skeleton monsters, climbing up quickly along the hull, and then leaping over the side of the ship to jump on the soldiers.
The warships responsible for surface support were now in chaos, and soldiers kept jumping into the sea in fear.
The sound of cannons from the sea stopped abruptly at this moment.
