That's a fake elf

Without the storm barrier created by the three temples borrowing the power of Poseidon, Drake's warship easily bypassed the Vastia fleet that was being slaughtered and entered the inland sea.

But the port defenders relied on the power of heavy crossbowmen and shield crossbowmen to suppress the pirates outside the city gate.

Several consecutive attacks were repelled, and the pirates had to rest and wait for subsequent troops to land.

But at this moment, some pirates discovered the merchant ship docked at the port, and they suddenly had some thoughts.

But before they even got close to the merchant ship, the pirates were almost blown away by the gunfire from the [Golden Antlers].

Instead of reaping the benefits, the pirates were disappointed. They quickly selected a leader and angrily found Claudia, the temporary captain of the "Golden Antlers".

"what do you mean?"

Barron, the captain of the Jackdaw, was surrounded by pirates and roared crazily at the temporary captain Claudia.

"Her Majesty the Queen has ordered that no one should attack these merchant ships. Violators will be executed on the spot."

Claudia, who was originally from the regular army, originally looked down on this group of pirates. When she saw the other party's appearance, she did not get used to this group of rabble and directly pulled out the [Hydra Blade] from her waist.

"Fuck you uncle, I will kill anyone who blocks my way of making money, even if it's Drake..."

bang——

As soon as Barron drew out the knife, a bloody hole appeared on his forehead and he fell to the ground dead.

When the surrounding pirates saw Drake jumping on the [Golden Antler], they immediately showed frightened eyes and backed away.

Seeing these bullies retreating, Claudia sneered disdainfully, nodded to Drake, exchanged command, and directly organized the troops to land with Kuchi.

"Besides this guy, if anyone else wants to challenge my authority, please stand up!"

Drake glanced domineeringly at the surrounding pirates, and no one dared to look at her.

"Hmph, I welcome someone to challenge me at any time, because as a pirate king, you should have this awareness."

"But if anyone dares to disobey orders during the war and try to attack my people, this is what will happen!"

The [Crimson Queen] in Drake's hand was directly aimed at Barron's [Jackdaw], and a fiery red ray shot out from the muzzle.

In an instant, the large pirate warship [Jackdaw] was split into two from the middle.

The pirate who fell into the water was shot dead by Claudia's men with muskets just as he tried to swim to the shore.

The pirates who originally had some small thoughts suddenly fell silent.

"Long live the Queen!"

"Long live the Queen!"

"Long live the Queen!"

Seeing the murderous intent in Drake's eyes, a pirate captain who saw that the situation was not good quickly shouted long live. Seeing this, the other spirits quickly echoed, fearing that they would follow in Barron's footsteps.

Seeing that his method of killing chickens to scare monkeys was effective, Drake did not hesitate and directly raised the [Sword of Command] to create an illusion, and threw his figure into the sky, broadcasting to the entire army:

"I, Drake, hereby promise that the fleet that is the first to climb the city wall can rob the island for three days!"

"As long as you have the ability, I will accept it even if this island is emptied."

The pirates who were already holding their breath went crazy when they heard Drake's promise, and turned around and rushed towards the city wall.

Almost all pirates know that the gold from Jinchao Island is transported back to Vastia every two years.

The gold that was supposed to be shipped back to Vastia this year had to be stranded on Goldtide Island because of Drake's forced war.

This means that Jinchao Island has already accumulated at least enough gold mines to mint millions of gold coins.

Although Drake, as the initiator of the war, will definitely eat a large part of this war, the remaining soup and water are enough for these ordinary pirates.

"Drake, according to the agreement, this island should eventually belong to Li Ang."

Seeing that the pirates were tempted by money and launched a charge under the cover of artillery fire, almost regardless of casualties, Gao Lan's face was gloomy as he boarded the "Golden Antlers".

"What we have divided is only the ownership of the island. The ownership of the spoils is not among them." Drake leaned on the edge of the boat and pulled out a contract from his chest with a smile on his face.

"You should know that letting pirates land on the island will cause catastrophe to the orcs on Jinchao Island." Gao Lan had a solemn expression and unconsciously held the [Dragon Bird Sword] and Durandal at his waist.

Seeing this, the surrounding royal pirates quietly surrounded Gao Lan.

"If there is a shortage of people, you can ask Li Ang to come to me. I will be happy to provide him with manpower." Derek made a direct statement, which made Gao Lan almost break his teeth.

Before acquiring Longwu Island, Li Ang did not have enough manpower to develop it, so he had to use the prisoners on the island.

In order to manage these unruly navies, Li Ang had to hand over part of the proceeds to the Naga tribe in exchange for their help.

But even so, Longwu Island's labor force is still a problem.

Although Edward has been working overtime to rebuild the alchemy factory and transform the golems originally used for combat into mining ones, it is difficult to achieve results in the short term.

Drake, who also sent people to Longwu Island for mining, obviously knew Li Ang's weakness, so she planned to take advantage of Li Ang in this place.

As a person who received royal education, how could Gao Lan fail to see Drake's intentions? His eyes immediately turned cold:

"You said that whoever climbs the city wall first can rob the island for three days, right?"

"Of course, I, Derek, told me the truth." Derek looked at Gao Lan and immediately understood what she wanted to do, and a smile spread across his face.

"I hope you don't break your promise!"

After getting the accurate answer, Gao Lan turned around and left.

. . . . . . . . .

Returning to the Queen Anne's Revenge, Gao Lan immediately announced his decision to attack the fortress.

"Are you crazy? Without mobility, the [Queen Anne's Revenge] can be sunk in one attack by the heavy crossbowmen on the city wall."

As a knight lord during her lifetime, Lilith had experienced many wars, and she could tell at a glance that the [Golden Stone Fortress] built at the port was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Even if the [Queen Anne's Revenge]'s [Magic Crystal Cannon] and [Yellow Dragon Cannon] are extremely powerful, it is impossible to defeat it in a short time.

"I didn't want the ship to get close to the port." Gao Lan pursed his lips and glanced at Vimona, who was doing nothing because the daughter of the Dragon God suddenly appeared and took away her mission.

"What are you looking at me for? You don't want my people to attack the city, do you?" Weimona, who was made uncomfortable by Gao Lan's eyes, froze and shouted in shock.

"All your people are flying combat units and can ignore the city wall." Gao Lan said in a deep voice.

"Are you kidding me? The Vastian heavy knights, heavy spearmen, and shield crossbowmen are all in the city. The number must be no less than a thousand. If I go in with such a small number of people, I will die."

Hearing Gao Lan's words, Vimona's head shook like a rattle.

Having fought against the Vastians all year round, Vimona knew best that the strongest force of these Vastians was not the navy at all, but the army combat force.

If she really stormed into the fortress, the more than 1000 harpies under her would probably be strangled to death by the soldiers in the city in less than half an hour.

"I didn't ask you to fight head-on with the soldiers in the city. You just need to contain the heavy crossbowmen and shield crossbowmen."

Glancing at the two troops fighting together on the city wall, Gao Lan's eyes flashed with light.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for long-range troops to cooperate, but the Vastian troops broke this routine.

Although the repeating crossbow held by the shield crossbowman is not very lethal, it has an extremely fast rate of fire and high accuracy, and is good at slowing down the enemy's movement.

At the same time, their giant shields can also protect teammates around them and resist physical damage.

Although the heavy siege crossbow of the heavy crossbowman refills slowly, it is difficult to hit high-speed moving enemies.

At the same time, because heavy crossbowmen wear leather armor to facilitate loading of ammunition, their defense is low and they are easily killed by some losses and physical attacks.

But they also have a big advantage, that is, the siege crossbows controlled by them are extremely lethal. Even units wearing heavy armor generally cannot block their blows.

Originally, when the two armies faced off against the pirates on a frontal battlefield, they would easily be defeated by them.

But after the two forces united, this situation was reversed.

The arrows and lead bullets fired by the pirates were completely blocked by the crossbowmen. Their agility was difficult to use under the rain of arrows from the crossbowmen. Facing the attack of the heavy crossbowmen, there was basically no resistance. force.

No matter how powerful the pirate is, as long as he is hit by an arrow from the shield crossbowman, he will basically be killed by the heavy crossbowman's attack.
