That's a fake elf

The port was bombed, and Drake, who was unable to transport artillery to land in a short period of time, could only start to use human lives to fill it.

Most of the navies sent to the front line were surrendered troops that Drake had conquered during the Battle of Longwu Island.

If it were a sea battle, killing Vastia's elite soldiers alone would not be a problem at all for them.

But the siege battle was different. Without artillery support, with only the muskets in their hands, facing the heavy crossbowmen on the city wall, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Soon, the corpses of these naval soldiers filled the dilapidated port.

Looking at the red inland sea, Drake finally came to his senses at this time and could only order the navy soldiers to retreat first.

Because she knew that if she continued to fight like this, these naval soldiers who had surrendered to her not long ago and had average loyalty would probably turn against her.

She must use other tactics now, and fighting head-on will definitely not work.

"Cookie! Cookie?"

After shouting several times and getting no response, Derek suddenly became furious.

Looking at Kutcher who was lying on the bow of the ship directing the [Royal Pirates] to search for Claudia, Drake immediately jumped down from the bridge, with a look of resentment:

"Didn't you idiot hear me calling you?"

"My Queen, please give me some time. I can't let Claudia's body be eaten by fish!" Kuchi burst into tears and threw himself in front of Drake, startling her.

"Bastard, look at how useless you are. A woman has died. At worst, I will help you find another one in the future!"

Seeing that his first mate looked like he was dying, Derek kicked him away and cursed fiercely:

"I order you to take Claudia's remaining troops with me and land on the northern beach."

"I don't believe it. My ship is too powerful and our guns are powerful to open the gate of this fortress."

"Your Majesty the Queen..." Kuchi raised his head and was about to refuse when he saw a person appearing behind Drake. He was stunned and speechless.

"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you go quickly?" Derek was so angry when he saw Kuchi's appearance that he wanted to kick him.

Unexpectedly, a scimitar flew directly from behind, causing sparks to fly directly from Drake's boots. Drake was so frightened that he immediately swung his sword to slash behind him.

clang--

"I'm not dead yet, and you're encouraging him to find a woman. Do you think my knife isn't sharp enough, or do you think my men will turn a blind eye to your behavior?"

Claudia, who was dripping wet and looked like she had just crawled out of the sea, held the [Hydra Blade] to block Drake's slash and looked at Drake with gritted teeth.

"Haha, welcome back." Drake took back the [Sword of Command] with some embarrassment and said haha.

"Humph, I don't want to talk to you!" Claudia walked around Drake and helped Kuchi up from the ground, a soft color flashing in her eyes.

"Seeing that there are no obvious wounds on your body, Gao Lan must have saved you, right?" Derek looked at Claudia with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, you're asking questions knowingly." Claudia snorted coldly, took the cloak handed over by Kuchi, and began to wipe the seawater off her body.

After receiving a clear answer, Drake turned his head and looked at the port where there was no Naga body, his eyes flickering.

The reason why she is reluctant to leave Gao Lan is that in addition to coveting Gao Lan's powerful command and leadership, she also takes a fancy to the power of Gao Lan's [Dragon Bird Sword].

Gao Lan once used the [Dragon Bird Sword] to release a skill called [Famous Sword*Si Ming] on Kuroshio Island.

She had seen with her own eyes that the pirates' knives clearly hit the women's necks, but did not kill them.

Because of this, she asked Kuchi to capture Gao Lan.

Drake has never been short of powerful warriors.

As the Duke of Griffith of the Griffin Kingdom, she can build temples and statues in her territory and provide job transfers to civilians.

As long as she wants, she can recruit a large number of soldiers in a short time.

However, this kind of general who can command and gain powerful spells for his troops is somewhat rare.

Because the quality of civilians is average, even if they spend countless resources, it is difficult to become a top powerhouse. The hero level is generally their limit.

"What a pity, why can't such a good woman stay with me!" Derek licked his lips and said with a look of reluctance.

"Hmph, do you think all women are like you and like the same sex?" Claudia snorted coldly.

"Pfft."

"Whoever laughs again, I will tie him to the anchor and sink him into the sea!"

Drake's eyes turned cold, and the [Sword of Command] struck directly on an iron box filled with explosives. The faces of the surrounding soldiers turned green and red, looking like they wanted to laugh but dared not.

chi chi chi

The sparks from the friction of steel ignited the explosives inside, scaring the surrounding [Royal Pirates] into hurriedly throwing the box of explosives into the sea.

The next second, the water splashed into the sky and chilled everyone present. Even Drake was not spared.

"Hmph, give me 1000 people, and I will kill all those knights with my own hands to avenge my bodyguards."

The armor that had just been wiped dry was once again wetted by the sea water. Claudia's expression suddenly turned cold and she was shaking with anger.

"You just came back, so you should take a rest first."

As the person who is most familiar with Claudia's body, Kuchi certainly knows that the current Claudia is a strong person, and he does not want Claudia to act out of anger at this time.

"No, my people cannot die in vain." Claudia growled.

"This is my sidearm. Anyone holding it can mobilize the thirty assault ships under my command. But do you dare to take it?"

Drake took off the [Azure Rose] on the right side of his thigh and handed it to the other person, with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Queen, that's..."

"What are you afraid of?" After taking the magic gun, Claudia looked happy and immediately pushed Kuchi away, planning to summon the elite soldiers.

"Hold on."

"You are the pirate queen, you can't keep your word!" Looking at Derek who waved to stop her, Claudia frowned.

"Of course I won't go back on what I said, but you are not needed here. You take my people to the southern part of Jinchao Island to land on the beach." Drake raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

"That's a shallow water area. My warships can't take advantage of it to support the people on the shore. Once the enemy attacks halfway across, they will suffer heavy losses." Claudia said with a frown.

"I know, but this is the effect I want. If the guards in the city choose to go out of the city to intercept you, then their defense strength will be greatly reduced, and it will be easier for me to break through the fortress."

Drake smiled and said:

"It would be better if they choose to hold out."

"I can directly capture their villages and camps near various mining areas and cut off their drinking water and food supplies. In less than a month, this fortress will be self-defeating."

In the battle just now, he had already seen that the most difficult people in the city were the heavily armored knights. Once they started running, it would be difficult for the same number of [Royal Pirates] to match them.

Now that the port has been blown up, it cannot be repaired in a short period of time. Since large artillery cannot be transported to land, she can only rely on explosives to blow open the city gate.

Obviously, in addition to cavalry, there are also a large number of heavy armored infantry in the fortress.

If she couldn't find a way to get rid of these heavy armored infantry and wanted to break through the fortress, she would have to pay more than ten times more casualties than the opponent.

"You are really insidious." Claudia's mouth twitched, she nodded, turned around and left.

"Can I think she is complimenting me?" Drake turned his head and looked at Kuchi with a half-smile.

"Of course she is praising you... My Queen, do I still need to take people to land in the northern mining area?" Kuchi was so cold that he was sweating at the look in Drake's eyes, and he immediately changed the subject sensibly.

"Then, don't let me down." Drake threw the other magic spear [Crimson Queen] to Kuchi with a smile on his face.

"Queen, give me all your subordinates, just in case those pirates betray you..." Looking at the pirate ships cruising near the [Sun Never Sets Fleet], Kuchi hesitated to speak.

"Haha, if they are not afraid of death, they can come and give it a try." Derek sneered, had a chair and table brought over, and drank red wine, looking unconcerned.
