Chapter 355: Execution at Sea 5

The battle in Westport City was still going on fiercely. Although the goblins fighting against the Kingdom Army were not as incompetent as people had imagined in the past, their individual strength was still far inferior to that of human soldiers, not to mention that their numbers were not as good as those of the Kingdom Army.

After the initial fear and surprise, the soldiers of the Kingdom Army gradually found that the other side was not as terrible as they thought at the beginning, and began to actively fight.

Seeing the balance of victory gradually tilting towards the Kingdom Army, Harrison breathed a sigh of relief.

What surprised him was that apart from the pirates who commanded the goblins to fight, he had not seen the main force of the pirates. Harrison did not believe that only a few humans leading a group of goblins could occupy Westport for so many days.

"Perhaps the Northwest Fleet succeeded in containing the pirates at the dock? I wonder if they are under great pressure."

On the one hand, he was worried that the friendly forces would not be able to bear it, and on the other hand, in order to end the battle as soon as possible, Harrison selected a detachment and quickly rushed to the port under his personal leadership. The battle with the goblins was drawing to a close, and the human pirates who commanded them were also killed or wounded. Without a commander, the goblins quickly returned to their nature and completely became a mob.

Harrison led the team to attack the dock area with all their strength. There was no one on the road, and the residents were hiding at home and dared not go out, which made their actions very smooth.

After arriving at the seaside in one go, Harrison and his men saw a naval battle scene they had never seen before: on the distant sea, the pirate fleet with the red flying dragon flag was facing the pirate fleet with the skull flag.

The Northwest Fleet had a total of 12 ships. At the beginning, they generally sailed from north to south, while the pirate fleet launched an attack from their east. After the first few rounds of confrontation, the leading 6 sailing ships began to turn left to the east to encircle the pirate fleet, but the 12 ships still maintained a line of guarding the head and tail. If you look from above, the Northwest Fleet should be an arc at this time.

Every time the pirate warships approached the Northwest Fleet, they were hit hard. It was too flattering to describe them as a confrontation. In Harrison's opinion, it was better to say that the pirates were beaten unilaterally.

Harrison had seen the artillery display of the Northwesters before, and today he finally realized its terrifying power. Every time the pirate fleet wanted to reorganize or ram, the Northwest ships would spray thick white smoke, and then the pirate ships on the opposite side would fall into chaos and the formation would be disrupted again. Harrison, who had seen the artillery, knew that the white smoke was accompanied by deadly high-speed metal projectiles.

The power of the projectile was so strong that when the first sailing ship completed the turn and sailed parallel to a pirate ship, the distance between the two ships was only a dozen meters. The pirates on the deck were ready to board, but the port side of the Northwest warship suddenly opened fire, and two rows of cannons roared one after another, hitting the opposite pirate ship with wood chips flying. The primary target of the cannons was the rowers in the cabin. After the roar, the opposite ship could no longer be as flexible as before. After the first sailing ship passed, the second sailing ship continued to fire. With the heavy casualties of the rowers, many pirate ships could only drift with the wind.

Harrison was fine, but most of his men saw the Northwest people's [magic] for the first time, and they were all surprised or even stunned.

"Sir, there won't be wizards on the Northwest people's ship?"

An officer asked Harrison with a worried face.

"Don't be suspicious all the time!" Harrison scolded him, "I have seen their weapons with my own eyes. They are called cannons. They fire ammunition like crossbows to attack the enemy. The operators are ordinary soldiers!"

It is not a good thing to be associated with witchcraft these days.

The battle on the sea continued for more than two hours. Although solid shells have great power on the human body, they are not enough for ships themselves, especially wooden ships, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of sinking.

The firepower of the six galleys behind the Alda fleet was relatively weak, and four of them were boarded by the enemy. The pirates thought they had finally broken through the enemy's long-range attack and could use their expertise to kill at close range. However, they were greeted by the ruthless attack of muskets. The pirates who jumped onto the Alda warships fell down at the first sight because they did not recognize the muskets in the hands of the sailors. The pirates who escaped the net were confused and faced hand-to-hand combat...

After being passively beaten continuously, the pirates gave up the plan to continue fighting. 10 warships fled to the south with all their strength. The remaining 8 warships failed to escape because of too many casualties of rowers, and raised white flags one after another.

"General Tirpitz!"

Harrison smiled and opened his arms to the fleet commander who stepped onto the dock.

"Oh, no, no, I'm not a general yet!"

Tirpitz stated while accepting the other party's enthusiasm.

"We won a great victory this time!"

Harrison was very happy. This was his first battle, which was not only related to his personal honor, but also to the fate of the family. Since his father let his aunt of poor origin marry into the family, the Abbott family lost the grace of His Majesty the King and sat on the bench for many years. The family needed military merits to rise again.

Alas, if it hadn't been for that incident, he would definitely be among the generals who went south to quell the rebellion this time?

Harrison shook his head and drove away the regret that flashed through his mind.

He and Tirpitz chatted while walking towards the city hall, where the soldiers had already cleaned up.

The two slowly came to the central square, where there were many people, not only soldiers, but also residents who had the courage to come out.

Tirbitz asked: "What are they doing?"

Harrison answered with a smile: "We caught the Goblin brought by some pirates, those people are getting angry!"

"Goblin? Legendary Goblin?"

The fleet commander squeezed into the crowd, and Harrison's guard immediately cleared him.

I saw a group of short people crowded on the ground tremblingly, and the sharp and long ears were lowered, looking weak and helpless.

It can be seen from the bruises and tattered clothes on them that these guys have not been beaten.

"How? Tylbitz, are you seeing Goblin for the first time?"

"Haha, let alone Goblin, we can hardly see exotic people in the Northwest Bay. I heard that the dwarves on the northern mountains sometimes come down to trade some items, but I have never seen it."

"Don't be deceived by them now. This group of biological bones is extremely fierce and brutal. I will execute them all later."

"Understand, but how many can you give me? I want to take it back to let the people in my hometown open the horizon."

"This ..." Harrison hesitated. He wanted to refuse, but the other party helped him win, and he was dealing with the main pirates.

"Well, but I can only give you one. If you don't want to make the Northwest Gulf Goblin disaster, you must also know that the fertility of this creature is comparable to mice."

"Uh ... why don't you give a few more public or a few mothers?"

"There are rumors that when a group of Goblin is only male or only a mother, some individuals will change gender, so please be careful ... And, even if you only give you one As soon as you get tired, kill it quickly, don't let it run, God knows what else is crooked in Goblin. "

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"So amazing? Well, I write down."

The two were talking, and a government manager rushed to the horse in a hurry.

"Viscle, you arrived so soon?"

Harrison was surprised that the comer was the Aleon of the West Port and the Northwest Gulf fleet.

"I just followed the army into the city!"

Dylan answered angrily.

"What makes you so angry? We just fought."

"No, it's gone!"

"What is gone?"

"The supplies in the warehouse, I just went there to check it, all of them! The pirates killed, I cursed them!"

Dylan jumped off Malaysia and scolded pirates with words that did not meet his aristocratic identity.

Harrison frowned, "This is too bad, the army in the south will be affected."

Tirbitz comforts the two: "As long as ensure the safety of the sea, the goods from the Northwest Bay will continue to be transported."

"That's exactly this! Lord Tilbitz!"

The Viscount suddenly held the hand of the fleet commander.

"The main force of the pirate disappears, but I think this group of hybrids will come. Please and your fleet must stay here."

"Cough!" Harrison pretended to have a cough, reminded the Vacus: "This should be determined by His Majesty of the King."

Dylan suddenly remembered that the Northwest Fleet was sent by foreign lords. His identity was a bit sensitive, and his embarrassment appeared on his face. He stood aside and said nothing.

Tirbitz didn't think it was as complicated, but he felt that Dylan said it made sense,

He said embarrassedly: "I can't do the Lord myself, I have to ask Count Grahmann."
