My Magic Age
Chapter 947 48. Battle of the Port
The night covers up all the invisible crimes. The pirates who escaped from the prison cell sneaked through a banana forest and followed the shadow of a reef on the seashore to the dock.
When they regained their freedom, they did not want to stay in Conason City to continue to do evil, but sneaked to the dock outside the city in groups, apparently wanting to seize the ship and go out to sea quietly.
These pirate leaders looked around carefully. Some were wearing blood-stained rebel leather armor, some were wearing some civilian clothes, and some were naked, wearing only a pair of tattered prison pants. The iron chains locked on their bodies dragged on the ground, making a "ding-dong" sound.
They were like a group of human beasts, trotting through the banana forest. The pirates cut a bunch of green bananas from the banana tree, carried them on their shoulders, and ate them while running.
We lay on the slope at the edge of a banana forest. The pirates came out of the banana forest and ran under the slope. They moved along the coastline to the dock.

When they walked away, a sailor poked his head out of the weeds and whispered to his companions: "They must be starving. Don't they have food in Conason Island Prison?"
Another sailor touched his bald head with sea cloud patterns, poked his head out of the grass and said: "I heard people say that the food in Conason Island Prison is not bad, but it doesn't look that good!"
The third sailor came out of the grass, with grass leaves on his head and green seaweed on his face, revealing a With a smug look on his face, he said to the two people in front of him: "Why are we still talking about this? We are no longer slave traders, not anymore!"
The two sailors in front turned their heads to look at him at the same time, and asked blankly: "Then what are we?"
The sailor with moss on his face racked his brains, thinking hard, and after a long while, he said with a stiff upper lip: "We are... We... We are freedom fighters who resist the rebel forces of Marquis Boris at sea!"
"Be quiet!" Kalancuo's scolding voice came, and the surroundings immediately fell silent.
...
For some reason, the rebels at the port dock did not send reinforcements immediately after discovering that the city was in chaos.
Maybe they were waiting for the distress signal from Conason City, maybe they were waiting for the transfer order of the rebel governor in Conason City, maybe they wanted to wait until dawn, maybe the current commander of the ship was a timid coward, anyway, this is good news.
Deborah spread her wings and glided freely in the night sky. She circled over the dock for several times, but did not find the traps set by the rebels at the dock. She hurriedly flew back and told me that everything was normal at the dock.
This girl had two Persian scimitars hanging on her waist, and the scabbards were inlaid with some red, green and green gems. Only those slave traders liked to use such weapons with strange blades. Deborah was obviously on the ship and was deeply influenced by these sailors. She thought that carrying scimitars on the waist was enough to be majestic.
Carrying two heavy scimitars, Deborah's steps seemed particularly strenuous when she walked.
I glanced at Karancuo beside me. She spread her hands and said to me: "She said that she looked like a pirate in that way!"
"..." I didn't know what to say. It seemed that the nature of this harpy was still constantly leading her to the opposite side of the world.
…
When I walked three kilometers with the sailors on the ‘Slave Trader’ to the dock, the dock was silent, with only shadows on the sailboat. The rebels hid on the boat, neither going out to sea at night nor garrisoning on the dock. They just huddled on the sailboat.
I originally just wanted to set up some magic traps on the only way between the dock and Conason City, but I was distressed to find that there was a flat open area and a not-so-dense banana forest between the two. If I wanted to set up traps to block this area, even if I donated all my magic scrolls, it would not be enough.
Several wind lanterns were hung high above the quiet harbor, swaying gently with the sea breeze, and the shadows of the lamp poles kept shaking with the shaking wind lanterns. The waves beat on the foundation stone of the dock, and the pirates had sneaked into the water and swam towards a five-masted sailboat.
Although the night was dark, my five senses were much sharper than those of ordinary people, so it was easy to find the pirate leaders on the sea with only a glimmer of light. I guessed that they might steal one or two lifeboats, but watching them climb up along the big chain of the anchor.
One, two, three... more than 20 pirates climbed onto the five-masted sailing ship at the same time. It was obviously not as simple as cutting the ropes of the lifeboats - they all climbed onto the ship, apparently wanting to seize the five-masted sailing ship.
The pirates climbed onto the ship one after another, but they never expected that when they thought their plan had succeeded, the lights on the five-masted sailing ship were brightly lit, and the sailors on the rebel side held longbows and spears, all aiming at the more than 20 pirates on the deck. The rebel captain stood on the ship's tower, looking down from above and stretched out his hand, turning his thumb up to the bottom.
Ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time.
Pirates who are qualified to be imprisoned in the death row are certainly not ordinary people. Those ordinary pirates will of course be beheaded immediately. The merits they can get whether they are alive or dead are not much different.
But these pirate leaders are different. Living pirate leaders can not only receive more achievements, but they also have the wealth that the sea has given them. That is why these pirate leaders can continue to live in the prison of Connerson Island City. .
Moreover, the pirates who can become leaders all have some real skills.
Therefore, when the captain of this five-masted sailing ship set up an ambush circle and quietly waited for the pirates to take the bait, he was actually taking a big step towards the 'Door of Death'.
‘shield wall’
A shadow of a shield appeared in the sky, and then lined up in a neat row on the deck. The pirate leaders rushing in front were all protected by the shields. On the contrary, many of the pirates walking behind were injured by bows and arrows. .
I didn't expect at all that among these pirate leaders, there was a powerful one-turn shield warrior.
There were powerful harpoons hidden in the flying arrows. Three harpoons were shot into the bodies of the three pirates. The huge inertia caused the harpoons to be firmly nailed to the deck after passing through the pirates' bodies. The pirates on the harpoon were wailing and struggling in pain.
These spearguns are similar to bed crossbows. In addition to being able to capture large sea fish, they are also great weapons in naval battles.
These pirate leaders braved the oncoming arrows and fought hard on the five-masted sailing ship. The pirate gang of less than twenty people actually killed the sailors on the rebel ship and retreated. This was even with the support of archers. situation, gain a huge advantage.
…
Seeing this scene, Kalancso and I looked at each other, and suddenly felt that things had taken a huge turn for the better.
Originally, we wanted to set up some magic traps between the dock and Connerson City to delay the support of the rebels on the ship. Who knew that when we walked over, we discovered that the rebels on the ship had no intention of supporting us at all.
Originally, we were still speculating on various reasons, but we didn't expect that a group of pirates who escaped from prison disrupted our rhythm. They were the first to reach the port, and they were so arrogant that they wanted to seize a five-masted ship with just twenty or so people. A sailboat, such a five-masted sailboat, must have at least a hundred sailors on board to sail normally.
The pirates single-handedly fought against hundreds of rebels, and were ambushed when they boarded the deck.
Even so, the pirates' subsequent counterattack actually achieved some results.
Seeing the rebel sailors on the ship retreating steadily, I suddenly realized that although there were nine large sea ships anchored in the port of Conason, the island city of Conason was actually very empty. Almost all the elite soldiers were gone. They were taken away and formed a huge fleet to chase Earl Avon, but the group of people who stayed in Conathon City were actually a group of stragglers with no fighting ability at all.
In this case, since those pirate leaders can turn a five-man sailing ship upside down with just twenty or so people, then of course our group will be able to fight against these ships.
Recalling the crowds at the gate of Conathon City and the darkness of the islanders in the dark night, I didn't expect that Earl Evan had such a high prestige on Conathon Island. He just asked his confidant Captain Just to return to the island and say hello: Those who are willing to follow me, come with me to the sea!
There are actually countless people who are willing to follow the ship out to sea, and a few days ago, Captain Just killed an entire crew of people on the ship. Now when we return to the island, there are actually so many people who are willing to follow, just because they want to. When I think about it, I find it really incredible.
"Let's also try to grab a boat?" Kalancso stared at the Galen-class sailboat with a length of more than 100 meters on the dock not far away, and was the first to express my innermost thoughts.
I nodded.
Kalancso turned around and waved, leading more than a hundred sailors on the Slave Trader to approach the dock little by little.
At this time, lights were lit on the nine ships one after another. The sailors on other ships found that there were only about twenty pirates who came to attack, and they regained some confidence in this battle. They stood on the side of the ship. On the other side, they connected the two ships together with long wooden planks. Then, under the cover of the archers, they jumped onto the gangplank and swarmed from the other ships toward the five-masted sailing ship, waving their long knives.
There was not a single soldier on the rebel side to hold the line. These ordinary rebel soldiers were just serving food when faced with the pirate leader who had experienced many battles.
The pirate leaders walked all the way around the rocks on the seaside, reached the stern of the ship in shallow water, and climbed onto the ship along the anchor's large iron chain. They encountered no obstacles.
And I tried to forcibly capture a Galen-class sailing ship. Kalantso led a group of sailors directly into the dock. As soon as he approached the Galen-class sailing ship on the far left, he was discovered by the lookout post on the mast. , just as they hit the shooting range of the archers, a group of archers immediately appeared on the side of the ship more than 20 meters high. They stood neatly on the side of the ship, and only heard someone shout: 'Fire the arrow! ’
A wave of arrows was thrown down from the night sky. Kalancso immediately stopped. The sailors also stood behind Kalantso alertly. They raised their round shields one after another to resist the arrows falling in the air. , the arrows of these fine steel arrow clusters can penetrate the hard wooden bucklers in the hands of the sailors. The arrow tips pass through the wooden shields, and several sailors who rush to the front fall down.
Unexpectedly, these ships still took some defensive measures, but this level of arrow rain seemed to make it difficult for us to move forward.
At this time, we must rush to the ship decisively and quickly. Once our charge is forced back, it will not only increase the confidence of the rebels on the ship, but also lose the best opportunity. So there is no way to retain strength at this time. I release the "momentum".
The golden sea slowly spreads from my feet to the surroundings, and the sailors look at the abnormality on the ground in horror.
Then, a rolling dark cloud appeared behind me, and some small electric snakes were scurrying back and forth in the dark cloud. At this time, my affinity with water magic has been greatly improved, and the control and perception of water magic have been greatly improved.
Luka stood in front of me and blocked the arrows shot from the front for me.
A light blue hexagram appeared under my feet, and I chanted a long spell-"ice wall".
Two tall ice walls slowly condensed from both sides of the team. The ice wall of nearly 20 meters high completely protected our left and right flanks.
Then, another wall of water gathered in front of me. As I cast spells again and again, it condensed into a staircase made of ice blocks, leading from the dock to the deck of the Galen.
The minotaur Luka stood beside me, covering his face with one hand to block the rain of arrows, and holding the moon blade axe in the other hand, striding forward.
The 'black iron full-covered armor with gold magic patterns' made him completely unafraid of these arrows. He stood in front like a wall, and the sailors followed him, stepping on the ice steps and rushing to the deck of the Galen-class sailing ship in one breath.
I was surrounded by three ice shields, holding the Shura battle axe in one hand, and releasing a few 'ice arrows' from time to time, freezing the archers hiding on the ship's tower and shooting cold arrows into ice slag.
Katarina followed me all the way, never walking far away, and all the rebels who wanted to rush to my side had their throats cut by her with the sword breaker.
Kalancuo, however, was holding a double-edged sword, leading a group of sailors to fight with the rebels on the deck. Wherever they went, blood flowed like a river.
Sure enough, although the rebels had the advantage in numbers and the support of archers, they still couldn't stop our charge.
The main reason was that there was not even a warrior of the first level on this Galen-class sailing ship. Facing Kalancuo and Luka, two orc warriors wearing magic pattern armor, almost no one could stop their full-strength attack.
Although we also had some casualties, we quickly took the initiative on the battlefield. Seeing that we had seized the entire ship, the rebels on the ship jumped into the sea to escape.
The other seven sailing ships, in the chaos, actually extended huge oars from the side of the hull, the anchor at the tail slowly rose, and more than forty oars were inserted into the sea and paddled vigorously. Those ships actually left the port and fled to the sea.
