A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Uptown was in chaos at the moment.

Taking advantage of the fact that all the masters here have left, and the main force of the city guard has also been transferred to the lower city, the slaves who have been oppressed for a long time broke out in turmoil.

They took iron bars, axes, and hoes and swarmed up, beating and killing a few city guards.

They smashed open the gates of those gorgeous houses, poured in like a tide, hacked down the guards who stayed behind, and snatched their spears and swords.

The gold and silver belongings in the house were looted, and even the gold leaf affixed to the wall was scraped off abruptly.

What could not be moved was smashed to pieces, and the house was even doused with oil and set on fire by vengeful slaves.

The raging flames ignited, more than one place.

The ranks were growing, and more and more slaves joined the riot.

Under the instigation of someone with a heart, these slaves who have been completely dominated by passion completely gave up thinking, and just vented their hatred instinctively, killing those who oppressed them, and robbing a large amount of property in the house.

Seeing the trembling appearance of those who used to be high above their feet, they were extremely happy.

It's just that the joy didn't last long, and a large number of soldiers had already arrived.

Because the river in the lower city is not big, large warships cannot enter, so Seth can only leave it in the military port, and then take a small fast boat along the river to quickly sail from the lower city to the upper city.

At the pier in the upper city, one after another small fast boats moored, and soldiers from the whole boats poured down from the boats.

Seeing the flames of war in the city, Seth was not in a hurry to lead the vanguard to exterminate the slaves directly.

He didn't move at first, until all the soldiers under his command had landed and lined up neatly, then he waved his hand and gave an order.

He divided the soldiers into two parts, formed an array, and swept in different directions.

As soon as the regular army arrived, the slaves who were still happily burning and killing the captives immediately fell silent.

When they killed the city guards and the guards in the house at the beginning, they rushed forward with their numbers.

However, their superiority in numbers has no effect in front of the strong regular army holding sharp-edged round shields, wearing tough leather armor, and having undergone long-term training.

When the soldiers formed an array and came to them tacitly, just a face-to-face meeting, the group of slaves gathered together were killed and defeated in an instant.

The war is one-sided.

"It is clearly said that the soldiers of Tozes will be tripped!"

The slaves who were so red-eyed not long ago finally woke up at this moment.

"Those guys lied to us!"

"They're not going to help us!"

"Those guys are just using us—"

But until now, it was impossible to escape, let alone to resist the regular army. Soon, the rioting slaves were suppressed by Seth's troops.

However, when the battle was about to end, Seth didn't have any happy look on his face.

Because at this moment, he was standing in the upper city on the high ground, overlooking the sea area in the lower city at a glance.

Seth only felt a bang in his head, which made him dizzy.

He saw that the densely packed pirate ships were surging from the horizon——

The city of Tozes is in danger!

…………

"No... why is this happening?"

Betola, whose legs and feet were weak and who only survived the fall with the help of his servants, looked at the group of pirate ships with a pale face, with expressions of disbelief on his face.

"Obviously the appointment is at night, at night, why are they now... even if they want to say hello in advance..."

"This is acting, yes, it's just acting, and soon they will pretend to be defeated and leave Tozes... Yes, it must be like this..."

He kept talking, looking dull, and muttering to himself.

Not only him, but the faces of several big businessmen who were with him were extremely ugly.

For a long time, in the eyes of the big merchants in Tozeth, those pirates were nothing more than a group of dogs they raised.

Give it some bones and you will be obedient, which is easy to use.

They would never have imagined that the extremely docile dog in front of them was actually a hungry wolf that would eat back at its master.

With just one bite back, they bit off their throats!

…………

The rain is still falling, but it is not as pouring as it was at the beginning, it is much smaller, but it has been pattering non-stop.

This is not a good thing for Tozes City. The stormy sea makes it difficult for ships to move.Heavy rain will hinder the movement of pirate ships, and light rain like this will not have any impact on ships.

I saw that the sea that had turned dark blue, countless warships flying pirate flags were rushing like a pack of wolves, and after a while, they sailed to the coast of Tozes City.

Under the high city walls on the coast of Tozeth, densely packed pirate ships surround this place.

The Tozes naval warship, which was moored on the other side because of the ceremony, was blocked by pirate ships that suddenly came in. Although the military port was close at hand, it was blocked by countless pirate ships and could not return.

Moreover, rather than being blocked, it is better to say that they have been firmly surrounded by pirates.

After all, the numbers of the two fleets themselves were falsely reported, and only good-looking warships were selected to perform the ceremony. In terms of numbers, they could not compete with the pirates.

Seeing that his own fleet was surrounded by pirates, the naval commander Taka standing at the bow turned pale.

His originally gorgeous military uniform was already soaked, and those cumbersome decorations were hanging down wetly, and the hair that was neatly combed on both sides was also stuck to his forehead, making him look quite embarrassed.

"Basha!"

He gritted his teeth and stared at the largest pirate warship with three layers of oars, his eyes were about to burst into flames.

To be able to sit in the position of admiral of the navy, in addition to the support of his brother's large sum of money, his own ability is not bad.

At this point, he will not think that the pirates just got the time wrong or acted without consulting them like his brother who can only calculate money-looking at the posture in front of him, he knows well that they have a lot of money. The wolf cubs are reversed!

The sea breeze whizzed past, blowing his chest icy cold.

Taka looked at the military port in the distance, the gate that was always tightly closed on weekdays was open at the moment, defenseless.

Although the gate is slowly falling and closing under the efforts of the few remaining soldiers in the military port, it is very difficult to open and close the huge and heavy gate. Depending on the time, it may be too late.

What made Taka even more alarming was that at this moment, there was no combat power in the military port that could resist the invading pirates.

If Seth is still staying in the military port...

Taka gritted his teeth hard.

But Seth was sent out.

Those who participated in the ceremony were unwilling to let the city guards leave for their own safety. In order to suppress the rioting slaves as soon as possible, he gave an order for Seth to lead the troops to the upper city.

In the huge military port, it was empty.

Although several large warships remained in the military port because they could not sail into the city, without soldiers, the warships were useless.

However, Taka is now focused on continuing to pay attention to the military port that is about to fall.

In front of him, a large ship was riding the wind and breaking the waves, and slammed into him fiercely at the maximum speed.

His warship was surrounded, and it was close to the coast, and the space was so small that it was impossible to escape.

There was a loud bang, and the shark-shaped bronze bumper on the bow of the pirate ship slammed into the hull of the warship he was on.

The hull of the ship that had been hit violently shook violently, causing him to stagger and almost lost his footing.

Before it stopped, there was another bang, and another pirate ship crashed into it.

Ropes with hooks swished over, hanging on the side of the ship, and those vicious pirates rolled into his ship either from the junction of the hulls or climbing the ropes.

They swung their machetes and slashed at the soldiers on board.

At first, the soldiers were able to resist a few times, but the waves of pirates came one after another like a tidal wave.

It didn't take long for most of the soldiers on board to be killed, and the rest were frightened and gave up their resistance, and were captured without a fight.

Almost all the other warships were besieged by more than two or three pirate ships at the same time, isolated by the pirates, and had to fight on their own, only to fall one by one.

In the end, all the warships fell into the hands of the pirates, and Taka, who was the commander, was tied up and brought to the pirate leader Basha.

The stout pirate leader stood carelessly on the deck, holding a big red apple in his hand. Drenched in the drizzle, his golden front teeth were exposed and he gnawed on it. Taka.

The servant beside him looked at the drenched Taka with a sneer of contempt on his face.

When we met before, this admiral, who thought he was noble and disdained to talk to pirates, always had a haughty look on his face, as if he would dirty his eyes if he looked at them too much.

fuck you.

He didn't know how much he cursed in his heart.

If you think you are noble, don't cooperate with pirates.

Although the pirates burned, killed and looted, they were at least aboveboard. They were much better than the group of sanctimonious guys who ate human flesh and drank human blood and thought they were noble.

Lying in embarrassment at the feet of the pirates he once looked down upon, Taka felt extremely humiliated.

He raised his head abruptly, staring fiercely at Basha.

He growled, "Basha, you are betraying! You have betrayed us!"

His voice was hoarse at this moment, almost forced out of his throat.

As the leader of the pirates in this area, Basha has always looked like a fool, but on the sea, no one dares to underestimate him.

His eyes are very small, like a slit, with some whites showing through the slit, which naturally gives people a kind of sinister feeling.

When Taka growled at him, he glanced at Taka, and then spat the apple core on Taka's forehead with a pooh.

"Aha? Your Excellency Taka, what are you talking about? Betrayal?"

Taka was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that he was spat on by the pirates, he was instantly furious, staring at Basha almost bursting into flames.

He opened his mouth to curse, but before he could speak, the booted foot fell from the sky, stepped on the back of his head, and slammed his head on the wooden floor.

"Betray your head—"

Stepping on Taka's head, Basha looked at the people under his feet with contempt.

"You make it clear to me. You are a navy and I am a pirate. You fucking told me that I betrayed you?"

He clicked his tongue and tossed the half-eaten apple away.

"I thought the group of guys under me were stupid enough, but I didn't expect there to be more stupid than them."

His head was stepped on the ground by the pirates, and Taka trembled from the huge sense of humiliation.

The anger that was about to get out of control almost made him curse regardless, but his reason forced him to hold back.

He gritted his teeth.

wait.

he thought fiercely.

As long as he lives, he has a chance.

He endured these guys who humiliated him now.

As long as he returns to Torzes...he swears, he will make these pirates pay a heavy price for insulting him today!

…………

Upon hearing the news of the annihilation of the entire naval fleet, the city of Tozes was thrown into chaos.

Countless people began to pack their bags and prepare to flee the city.

In the chaos, under the gloomy sky, the city of Tozes stood quietly on the coast.

Pirates are approaching it.

A tragic massacre is about to take place in this prosperous city.
