Chapter 90: Midnight Attack

With Aberto, the vice-captain, Nicole was finally able to sleep peacefully, and when she woke up again, it was already the morning of the third day.

Nicole returned to the captain's room, and Aberto was still in the captain's room, also very tired, Nicole smiled apologetically at Aberto, "General Aberto, how far are you from the goal now?" ”

"Your Excellency, Captain, you are less than three hundred kilometers away from the target, and you can arrive at noon!" Aberto said.

"Stop the ship now!" Nicole ordered, "General Aberto, you go and rest first, we plan to attack at midnight, and we will discuss the battle plan in the evening!" ”

After Aberto left, Nicole called Higg to the captain's room and said, "I plan a night raid and lead all the sailors and crossbows to land on the beach, I want to hand over the battleship to Aberto, and I will lead a team with you!" ”

"You're going to hand over the revival to Alberto, is that okay?" Higg was surprised and said, "It's too risky, you must master the Revival, or I don't want to be the owner of the island if Aberto is unreliable!" ”

"If I don't get off the boat, how can I accompany you to find the square tower?" Nicole said angrily.

"I'll find it myself, anyway, I can't hand over the revival to others, and I'm joking with my own life!" Higg said.

"Okay, but you must notify me as soon as you find the square tower!" Nicole said helplessly, she also knew that it was too risky, the captain had no reason to leave the battleship, and it was wartime, "Let's discuss the specific plan for the sneak attack!" ”

In the evening, the Fuxing began the final stretch of its sprint, heading straight for the pirate's old nest of Yaning Island.

All the people on the ship have eaten the last dinner, and the next meal must be eaten by taking Yaning Island, because all the food and fresh water on the Fuxing are gone.

It was a moonless night that did not rise until before dawn, and it was a curved moon with little light.

"Extinguish all lights and go full speed!" When Nicole was still fifty kilometers away from the island of Yaning, a ban on fire was issued.

The Fuxing warship followed the monsoon and quietly sailed at full speed towards Yaning Island.

……

"Eight thousand meters ahead, I found the lights!" The lookout hand reported loudly.

"Look for the location of the port, be fast!"

"All combatants, get ready!"

"The location of the port, it is suspected that it is minus five degrees to the south, and the distance is five thousand meters!" The lookout keeps reporting!

"Immediately turn the rudder due south minus five degrees!"

"Determine the location of the port, the direction remains the same, and the distance is three thousand meters," the lookout man continued to report!

"Each combat captain reports on combat readiness!" Nicole exclaimed.

"Your Excellency, the arrow tower is ready!"

"Your Excellency, Captain, foredeck shields and battle sailors are ready!"

"Your Excellency, Captain, the aft deck shields and battle sailors are ready!!"

"Your Excellency, the assault boat is ready!!"

…………

The distance of three thousand meters is only a few minutes, and when the battleship is still a thousand meters away, it slowly slows down to avoid running aground too fast. When entering the port, the mainsail was completely lowered, and only the horn sails and fore and fore sails controlled the Fuxing.

Whoosh, the revival warship quietly sailed into the harbor, rocket after rocket fired at the pirate ship docked in the harbor, and on the arrow tower, the sailors who were not at work continued to throw sulfur, charcoal, fire oil and other flammable materials from the height of the pirate ship.

"Enemy attack!" An alarm sounded from the pirate ship, and several rays of bright light shot into the air, exploding in the night sky, instantly illuminating half of the port.

There were about ten pirate ships docked in the harbor, and under the intense rocket attack, three of them immediately burst into flames. The Fuxing quickly weaved through the harbor, constantly adjusting its bearing, allowing the Arrow Tower to shoot at the pirate ship that was not on fire.

With three more pirate ships on fire, Nicole decisively ordered to drop anchor, and Higg and Aberto led more than a hundred soldiers and crossbowmen to rush to the twenty assault boats at once, and the sailors immediately lowered the ropes of the assault boats until the assault boats reached the surface of the sea, and then immediately cut the ropes.

The assault boat that reached the surface of the water immediately rowed towards the nearest shore, and the assault boat that Higg was in rushed to the front of the team, and before it could reach the shore, Higg swept a huge fireball towards the shore, and several pirates who were shooting arrows on the shore were instantly drowned in the fireball, illuminating the entire landing site. Higg leaps onto the beach and battles with the pirates for control of the landing site.

A few minutes later, Higg finished dealing with the nearby pirates, and all the soldiers on the twenty assault boats behind him also landed, Higg immediately applied the group acceleration and blessing spell, and led a team with Aberto to advance towards the set goal!

Alberto's goal is to deal with the pirates on the shore of the harbor, and Higer's goal is the pirate's base camp, although he doesn't know where it is, but disrupting the entire island of Yanin is also one of the established goals, anyway, wherever there is a light, run to wherever there is a light!

The soldiers led by Higg are all new sailors who have been converted from infantry and crossbowmen, and they are not the opponents of pirates in sea combat, but when they return to their profession, land combat is much more powerful than that of bandits, so even Aberto is not his own men, but the sailors on the Fuxing.

Instead of settling with the scattered pirates he encountered on the way, Higg led sixty sailors and twenty crossbowmen to the brightest spot. More than ten minutes later, I came to a village, this village is connected by a simple wooden stake and some tree vines, there is no defense at all, Sig directly led people to rush in, and the village has already been a mess.

After entering the stockade and letting the soldiers fight freely, Higg himself ran straight to the largest house in the stockade.

Kicked open the door of the room, only to see several women and two children curled up in the room, six pirates on the side, saw Higg come in, two pirates directly raised their knives and slashed up, Higg cut off one of them with a sword, the other was kicked to the ground by Higg, Hig pointed a knife at the neck of the fallen bandit, and asked, "Where is your leader?" ”

"My lord, I don't know!"

Hey, as soon as the tip of Higg's sword was crossed, the pirate's neck immediately gushed blood, spraying all corners of the room, and his legs struggled for a moment, and the corpse was immediately raised.

Higg didn't wait for the other pirates to pounce, and directly released a piece of ice water from the same source, covering the four pirates in it, and their teeth were chattering with each other, and several stepped forward and continued to point their swords at one of the pirates and asked, "You come and tell me, where is your leader?" ”

"Our ...... The leader goes to sea...... Didn't come back! "Well, the tip of Higg's sword was horizontal, and like the pirate before, he struggled a few times and died.

Higg removed the icy water and continued to point his sword at another pirate, without asking, the pirate trembled and didn't know what to do, Higg continued to stare at the last two pirates without looking at it and said, "Whoever says first will live!" ”

"Our Leader...... Ran ...... tunnel," one of the pirates said with a shudder.

"I'll lead the way......," said another pirate, scrambling.

Regardless of the women in the house, Higg decided whether to leave it to his soldiers to live or die, and followed the two pirates out of the house.

Fighting was still going on in the stockade, but the pirates' resistance was chaotic and posed little of a threat.

Out of the big house, Higg beckoned to a few soldiers and crossbowmen next to him, and followed the two pirates into a well, which had no water in it, but was connected to a deep tunnel.

Higg unleashed a small fireball, and the tunnel immediately lit up, motioning for the two pirates to continue leading the way.

Higg had expected the tunnel to lead to the harbor so that pirates could escape from there. But now the direction of the tunnel is clearly to the other side of the island. Is there a second seaport?

After walking a few hundred meters, I came to a hall with a dozen empty boxes and scattered gold coins on the floor.

"Quick, hurry up and find the exit!" Higg shouted at the two pirates leading the way.

Higg traveled nearly two kilometers in the winding underground passage before reaching the exit, which was located on the eastern shore of the island, and the west side of Higg's landing was exactly east and west of Yaning Island.

A pirate ship is docked on the shore, this is not a harbor, this ship is also very hidden, a huge gray-yellow stone pillar blocks the hull, the stone pillar is about twenty meters high, four or five meters in diameter, the pirate ship is half covered and half hidden, more than 20 pirates are moving boxes one by one to the pirate ship, the boxes appear very heavy.

Higg quietly hypnotized the two pirates leading the way, then changed into pirate clothes and took advantage of the darkness to let the soldiers who had followed him quietly approach the huge stone pillar.

There were more than 20 pirates carrying the boxes, and Higg guessed that there were not many pirates hiding on the pirate ship, because the handling task was tight, and most of them should have come down to carry the boxes!

"Hurry, hurry!" One of the pirate leaders standing on the deck roared and urged.

Higg blended into the pirate herd and followed another pirate to carry the boxes to the ship, and there were still a dozen large boxes under the ship that had not been moved, and the heavy boxes required two people to carry with difficulty.

Higg and another pirate carried the boxes into the lower cabin of the pirate ship, where there were already two dozen chests.

Out of the cabin, Higg did not disembark with the other pirate, but quickly rushed to the deck, drew his sword and stabbed the pirate leader, who was startled, and immediately rolled on the spot, shouting, "Enemy attack!" ”

Without waiting for the pirate leader to stand up, Higg swung his sword and slashed down. Several pirates also quickly rushed to the deck, and there was a shout of killing from behind the stone pillar, and the pirates began to engage in hand-to-hand combat!

Higg had hoped to subdue the leader with a single move, but unexpectedly failed, and the sneak attack immediately turned into a fight. The pirate leader once again dodged Higg's slashing, drew his saber and surrounded Higg with the pirates on deck, shouting, "Sail and anchor!" ”

Higg was also furious, turned around and stabbed out one after another, and immediately ended up with three pirates rushing to his side.

The pirate leader burst into a loud cry and ran to the anchor, and without waiting for the sailors to come and lift the anchor, he cut the huge rope of the anchor with a single sword, and the pirate ship that had lost its anchor shook violently, and the people on board were shaken to the ground, and even Higg was almost thrown on the deck by the violent shaking.

"Kill him!" The pirate leader was furious, and when he saw another pirate coming up, the pirate leader shouted, but he himself rushed to the top of the foredeck, trying to cut the rope that connected the ship to the pillar.

How could Higg let him get his wish, the anchor had already been cut by him and fell into the sea, and if he cut the rope again, the pirate ship would drift off the coast.

Higg didn't care about the four pirates who came from behind, and quickly stepped forward and swung his sword at the pirate leader, the pirate leader was forced to raise his sword to block, Higg didn't put away his sword, and directly hit the pirate leader with his body, both fell to the deck, and his left hand quickly pulled out the dagger from his boot and stabbed directly into the heart of the pirate leader. The pirate leader was stopped by Higg's death, and when he saw the dagger stabbing him, he lay on the ground and rolled on the ground, and Higg had already expected it, and the dagger position moved and stabbed the pirate leader's left shoulder.

The painful pirate leader swung the knife in his right hand and slashed at Higg's body, although he was wearing a magical armor and unloaded most of his strength, Higg's knife almost ran out of breath. Fighting the pain, Higg swung his sword and slashed off the pirate leader's right hand with a knife, sending a column of blood gushing out, splattering his face with blood.

Without waiting for the pirate leader to react, Higg then quickly turned around, his back against the pirate leader's chest flashed, which was equivalent to drawing half a circle with the pirate leader as the center of the circle, and turned to the back of the pirate leader, the dagger in his left hand pressed against the pirate leader's neck, and shouted: "Stop!" ”
