"There's a signal from the port!"

On the watchtower of a four-masted Mactage ship, a pirate shouted loudly to the deck.

In the darkness, a hill-like figure slowly stood up, walked to the bridge, and took out a telescope to look at the sea in the distance.

The flickering light silenced the figure for a moment, then he raised his right hand and swung it forward.

The first mate, who was standing on the side, shouted to the pirates: "Lord Barbarossa, there is an order! The target of the fleet - Twilight Harbor, the whole army will assault!"

The excited pirates hoisted their folded sails, tore off the camouflaged sackcloth, and rolled out their dark muzzles.

Oil lamps were lit on the ship, instantly illuminating the entire sea.

Looking down from the sky, nearly a hundred ships of all sizes were full of busy pirates, shouting the battle horn and looking greedily at the brightly lit and dazzling harbor on the distant land.

Taking advantage of the wind and breaking through the waves, the pirate's vanguard fleet broke the barrage at the mouth of the port of Dusk, knocked over the various ships parked at the berth, and rushed directly into the shoal area of the port.

Gangplanks and ropes were lowered from the deck, and nearly a thousand pirates from different forces and in various languages rushed to the plank road of the port and set foot on this sacred land.

Looking at the huge machines, the rows of houses, and the piles of goods in the harbor, each pirate's face inevitably showed a look of shock and excitement.

"I've heard people talk about the prosperity and wealth of Dusk City, and some people even call it 'God's blessed land.'" A pirate leader with gold teeth and an eyepatch said dumbfounded, "I thought the man was bragging, but now I understand that what he said is true......"

"Lord Barbarossa is here!"

Hearing the shouts coming from behind him, the pirate leader was full of excitement, and hurriedly dodged to the side, lowering his eyebrows and hiding to the side.

With his majestic posture, his muscles, and his fierce eyes, as soon as the man known as Barbarossa walked into the port, all the pirates immediately fell silent, and the originally noisy voice suddenly lowered.

Barbarossa looked up at everything in the harbor, like a veteran connoisseur, admiring a perfect work of art, smiling and nodding slightly.

The first mate followed from behind, walked to Barbarossa's side, and whispered, "The nobles have sent messengers. ”

Barbarossa put away her smile, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Let them come over." ”

Two well-dressed and anxious-looking messengers, looking at the vulgar pirates with disgust, walked up to Barbarossa and said in a loud voice, "We have come to meet the great pirate king on behalf of my master!"

Barbarossa waved her hand casually.

One of the two messengers said, "The naval barracks in the northern part of the port area are engaged in fierce battles, and those stubborn Kingdom navies are trying to drive the two warships out of the port!"

Seeing Barbarossa's expressionless face and no movement, another young envoy, unable to bear it, hurriedly said: "In the naval barracks, we are seriously understaffed, and the battle has always been at a disadvantage, and there is no way to capture the remaining ships. Lord Barbarossa, you and your men should get there as soon as possible and help us capture the naval barracks......"

Listening to the urging of the two messengers, Barbarossa smiled, but still did not move.

The middle-aged man said sternly: "Lord Barbarossa, you won't forget, will you? You once made a sacred pact with us! We provide gold in exchange for the support of your army!"

Barbarossa looked at the middle-aged envoy who was talking to him, then at the young envoy behind him, and said slowly: "Go back and tell your master that I don't want the gold he promised to do." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's jaws almost dropped.

The pirates let out a chorus of exclamation, but to their surprise, no one dared to jump out and question Barbarossa's decision.

The middle-aged man slowly recovered from the shock, he stared into Barbarossa's eyes, and said in a puzzled tone, "Great Pirate King, I don't understand what you mean by this?"

Barbarossa touched his chin with one big hand, pointed to the port behind him with the other, and laughed loudly: "I want this port." ”

The middle-aged man opened his eyes in surprise: "What did you say?!"

"Are you deaf?" Barbarossa yelled, "I want control of the port of Twilight City!"

The middle-aged nobleman laughed angrily: "My lord, this is completely different from our prior agreement!"

Barbarossa said indifferently: "Go back and ask your master, if he doesn't agree, I don't mind doing it myself, maybe ...... I can also go and meet the king of Twilight, who might be more interested in my proposal. ”

The middle-aged envoy's face was flushed, and he shouted as he jumped to his feet: "This is a threat! This is a despicable deception! It is absolutely impossible for us to agree to such a request!"

"Listen! You stupid pig with no brains! I'm not asking anyone's opinion, I'm just looking for someone to help me get the word on!"

Barbarossa said as he reached out to his first mate, who without hesitation handed him the musket at his waist.

Rumble!

After a loud bang, the middle-aged man's head was like a watermelon that had been smashed by a sledgehammer, red and white things splashed everywhere, and the corpse fell straight to the ground.

The young messenger who saw all this turned pale with fright, and one of them stumbled and fell to the ground, screaming like a girl.

Barbarossa threw the musket to the first mate, looked at the young man who was slowly oozing water stains from his crotch, and said with a smile: "One messenger is enough." ”

On the high clock tower, listening to the news reported by his subordinates, the angry Rutledge almost fainted.

"That treacherous villain!

Ratledge flipped the map and clutter on the table and yelled, "I'm going to take the troops myself and drive those filthy pirates out into the sea to feed the sharks!"

Daurson's old butler, looking at the thunderous Rutledge, reminded softly: "Young master, now is not the time to get angry. ”

Ratledge gasped, gritted his teeth, and looked at Dusk City in the night.

"The military camp of the Knights of the Dusk West and the security team has been completely controlled by us, the nobles have taken control of the transportation arteries in the city, the town hall, the cathedral, and the building of the Knights' Council have all been captured, and although the war is unfavorable in the North Island Knights, the resistance of more than 200 people will not have a big impact at all. ”

Listening to the old butler's analysis, Ratledge let out a long breath: "You're right, it's not necessarily a bad thing for that group of pirates to give them a little sweetness now. Let them take the port now, and I can take it back in the future!"

The old butler nodded: "Right now, there are two things that are the most troublesome. First, the riots in the city alerted the cabinet members. Most of the people we sent to arrest them did so in vain......"

"It's not a big deal," Rutledge said in a deep voice, "we now control all the roads out of the city, and that group of cabinet members must still be in the city wherever they hide." When Dusk West City is completely stabilized, I will have a lot of time to turn the city over inch by inch and search it thoroughly, they will definitely not be able to escape!"

The old butler said softly: "Then, young master, there is only one thing left." ”

Rutledge raised his head, looked at the palace on the top of the mountain in the distance, and sneered, "That's right, there is only one last thing left. ”
