The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 5: The Battle of Holtz II

When Colin and the others got on the deck, they found that the pirates had already rushed onto the ship. It was difficult to use guns at such a close distance. There were pirates and sailors slashing at each other with knives everywhere. The only sight was the Black Skull. The bow of the ship was heavily rammed into the side of the hull. From time to time, pirates jumped in to help. A certain big shot (Jack) from the Black Skull, leaning on a sword, looked at this side calmly.

"Go up, go up, kill these dirty pirates for ourselves." First mate Bob saw this situation, and after hurriedly greeting the slaves, he took the lead in charging.

With the addition of this new force, it seems that the advantage has returned to Bator a little bit.

However, as time went by, after the bloodshed, the slaves who had not gone through many battles found that they could not defeat the swords in the hands of the pirates with just the wooden sticks in their hands. More of their companions died, as did the pirates on the opposite side. Not many people fell down at all.

Colin followed John while poking around with the wooden gun. With John taking care of him, he didn't suffer any injuries for the time being. However, John looked like he was quite powerful. He had already stabbed several pirates and they had been together for several days. They didn't realize that John had this ability.

Under the cover of several sailors, Ba Tuo would take a shot from time to time with his blunderbuss, but he didn't know how many he hit. After Bob brought the people up, he untied his waist and several sailors successfully retreated to his side. However, looking at the overall situation, it was not optimistic. Defeat was only a matter of time.

Bato turned his head and looked in the direction of Bob. Bob was quite brave. He was a low-level knight squire. He was usually kept out of reach of a dozen sailors. He was said to be the first mate, but in fact, he was hired as a bodyguard by Bato at a high price. The charge was quite fierce, and after coming up to the deck, several pirates had been hacked to death. With the help of a few sailors, they had stabilized a corner, but overall, it was still somewhat useless.

"Huh?"

Bato suddenly discovered that in the other direction, John's performance was also good. He was holding a wooden gun and actually attracted the attention of several pirates. For a while, he was fighting back and forth with the pirates. The boy following him seemed quite clever. He would poke him randomly from time to time, but the pirates couldn't get close at all.

He turned around and told the sailor beside him, "Go and give a knife to (John) over there. I think that guy is not a simple person. He may not be as strong as Bob."

It's been a while since we docked, and here we meet the Black Sea. He can't let him go according to his temper. He has to end the battle quickly, otherwise the navy will smell the smell and surround him, which will be bad. Seeing that the pirates were still unable to hold them back, Jack became a little bit impatient. Except for a few remaining pirates, he led the remaining pirates to attack Bator.

Fifteen days ago——

"Admiral, the news received from Old Hansen has been confirmed. The slave merchant Bato has taken a ship of slaves to the newly sealed Emerald Territory. It seems that Jack from the Black Skull has received the news and has rushed to Hall in advance. There was an ambush in the Strait."

Standing in front of the window, looking at the citizens passing by on the street below, and listening to the news that his men behind him got from Hansen's Tavern, President Hedram Bergs frowned slightly and thought, "Since he can There is no reason why the other fleets can’t get the news. Is there something wrong? Or is it no longer our duty to fight against pirates? Why haven’t we heard the news about them going to sea?

As soon as he rushed onto the ship, Jack found that his men were blocked in three places. In one place, it seemed to be a low-level knight's attendant with a few sailors. Next to him were several of his men. They were probably dead. The first mate Mang De had already surrendered to him; looking at another place, he had no equipment on him, could he be a slave on the ship? The man who was dancing with a knife was also very powerful. The second officer Jimmy led the people there to greet him. Several pirates also fell around him, but some of them seemed to be alive. Finally, he looked at the door of the command room. That should be Ba Leave it to me, hum! Who are you trying to scare with a blunderbuss? Can you kill someone?

The sailors in other corners have basically fallen, and his pirate brothers are completely dominant. It seems that if they kill Bator and the others, they can still earn a ship? Thinking of this, Jack got excited. The top priority was to open those gaps.

"Brothers, work harder, there are a group of women on the boat. Victory belongs to us, Tea Juice!" Jack shouted.

"Tea juice! Tea juice!" the pirates responded excitedly like animals.

Seeing the high morale of the pirates, Bator was also anxious. Was he going to be unable to hold on?

Thinking of this, Bato was about to call Bob back. There was a boat next to the command room. Is it possible to escape?

Regardless of what Bato was thinking, Colin also saw that the situation was very bad. "The big shots on the opposite side are also on board. This is going to be a decisive battle. It will be decided soon. What should we do?"

Colin thought, "I've only traveled a few days and now I have to wear it again? It's unclear whether I can wear it if I die." When he got anxious, he shouted, "John, John, look over there, what should I do?" "

In fact, John was more anxious than Colin. He saw Jack boarding the ship long ago. It was obvious that the ship could not be defended. The pirates might not do anything with slaves like Colin and just resell them.

For someone like him who has some strength, the pirates will either forcefully invite you to join their gang, or they will kill you directly. There will be no third option. Although he is now a slave, he believes that with his strength, whether it is escaping or redeeming himself through meritorious service, there is always a way. He does not want to choose either of the two paths given by the pirates.

While fighting with Jimmy, John retreated and said to Colin: "Let's go, let's retreat to Barto. First mate Bob is also quite powerful. Let's go and join them."

John and Colin fought and retreated. Under John's strong counterattack, they quickly broke free from Jimmy's entanglement and retreated to the vicinity of Barto.

Seeing that Bob and John were about to gather with Barto, Jack was also anxious. He took out the pistol from his waist and prepared to fire.

"Well, let's shoot the one without armor first." After setting the target, Jack fired a shot casually. Before he had time to see the result, he heard the "booming" sound of artillery from a distance.

"Well, what's the situation?" Jack asked in confusion.

"Boss, it seems to be the naval fleet of Oakland Port." Armand, who retreated, replied.

"Let's go, boss, we can't leave if the naval fleet comes soon," Armand continued.

Jack glanced at Barto and waved his hand helplessly, "Retreat, retreat."
