Chapter 57: Pirate Siege (Subscription and Explanation)
Duke Long's dock is actually not very far from the castle, after all, the half-plane is not too big, and although the pirates are not fast, they have arrived at the castle within half an hour.
At this time, Yanagi was ready for battle.
For those pirates who dared to attack his territory, Ryuji had no idea of letting them leave alive.
On the contrary, Liu Zhi is very interested in the souls of these pirates, and he wants to know if the corpses of the pirates thrown in the mass graves can be directly transformed into skeleton pirates, so as not to transform into skeleton sailors himself, and also spend various expenses to add sailor experience to the skeletons.
The Pirate King didn't know that Ryuji regarded himself as a large experience bank.
After seeing the troops above Duke Long's castle from a distance, the Pirate King's face became a little helpless.
"Damn, when I get back, I'm going to catch all those weird creatures and feed them all to the fish."
The Pirate King said this as he watched as the pirates he had forced to come rushed towards Duke Dragon's castle.
As the top force in the entire continent, Duke Long's castle's defense is actually very strong, even if Liu Zhi breaks through the empty door, he will let the spider go first to open the door, otherwise he will definitely be blocked out of the door and unable to enter.
It's still possible for these pirates to rob some villages and ports, but if they want them to attack cities, they also need to have the ability.
Now they didn't even have a siege weapon, and a group of pirates stood in the open space outside the castle, forming a phalanx that looked okay, but they didn't even have the courage to rush forward.
The Pirate King was so angry that he screamed there, but there was nothing he could do.
He's just a pirate king, and he's not a god, so he can't conjure up any good siege weapons.
Eventually, some pirates broke off the bow of their ship and dragged it down to the castle for a while.
At this time, Ryuji waited on the top of the castle for nearly an hour, and he looked at the pirates below in some surprise, feeling in his heart how could such a thing happen in front of him.
Judging from the number and strength of these pirates, the fishmen under Severed Beard should be able to fight it.
And Nesat also took the fish-people over, the last time Duke Long fought, the fish-people in the Dead Lake suffered the least losses, and Nesar brought out all the fish-men this time, and now the sea area of the Hades Palace is almost empty, not to mention fighting these pirates with such strength, even if it sweeps the sea area of this continent, it can be done.
However, the fish-men did not stop these pirates, and even blocked them outside Duke Dragon's castle.
This made Ryuji's judgment of Nasha's ability decline again, and he thought that when Nasa came back with the fishman, he would directly withdraw all of Nasha's rights and throw him into the sea area of the Hades, so that he could train the fishmen of the Dead Lake.
While Ryuji was thinking about this, the pirates began to attack.
The guns they towed were bow guns, and there were only four of them, and all of them were 12-pounder guns, which were used to fight sea ships.
They all knew the effect of the ship's gun, so the pirates piled up the guns and attacked the city gates.
The other pirates followed with scimitars, waiting for the gates to be blasted open before rushing in.
However, it can be seen that the pirates at this time no longer have the same morale as before, after all, their morale was quite high at the beginning, but waiting for the cannon to be transported, they were not exposed to the sun during the time they came.
And Ryuji controlled the Eye of Horus, shining more sunlight in the vicinity, making the pirates almost turned into dried salted fish.
The current pirate combat power is actually only about one-third of their normal strength, and if it weren't for the coercion of the Pirate King and the opportunity to rob them, they might have dispersed by now.
Now they just stay here on their own volition, waiting for new stimulus.
For example, the city gate was blown open by artillery and so on.
But the question is, Duke Long has built this castle for thousands of years, will they not think of such a thing as artillery?
Facing the wooden door covered with iron sheets, the cannon was far away, and the wooden door did not even change when this cannon went down.
On the contrary, Ryuji couldn't wait there any longer, he didn't want the pirates to stay outside any longer, so what's the point of dragging on for a day.
Ryuji stepped down from the walls and said to the centaurs gathered in front of him.
"I'll open the gates later, and you have only one goal, to break up the ranks of the pirates and break them up as much as possible."
The centaurs raised their spears and shouted excitedly.
The darkened centaurs had begun to have a few more black tattoos on their bodies, and when they raised their spears and roared, these tattoos gave off a strange glow.
This situation actually surprised Ryuji a little, he felt that among the seven races in this batch, the centaurs and boar people were the most suitable for underworldment, and after they drank the water of the Stygian Spring, there was a situation similar to those greenskins in Fireblade City.
First they have some tattoos on their bodies, then their bodies will turn black, and finally there may be some changes like bone spurs.
So when arranging the Centaur mission, Ryuji will think a little more, hoping to keep their main force.
As for the boar people's side, Yanagi didn't think about it so much, their numbers would be relatively large, and they were heavy warriors, and Yanagi couldn't ask how fast they charged.
As for the rest of the troops, Ryuji didn't plan to take them all out, the number of pirates in front of him was not too much, and it was enough for Ryuji to call the swanmen and lizardmen, and the rest of the troops stayed on the city wall, so that they could guard the city and watch the battle.
With everything arranged, Ryuji jumped onto the Sun carriage, and Widnina took control of it while preparing for the attack.
Ryuji stood behind the carriage, with the troops ready behind him, who were waiting for the pirates' second shelling.
This time, the pirate's artillery fire was significantly more accurate, and all four cannon backgrounds smashed on the city gate.
However, the cannonball was still a little less powerful, and the Pirate King was there shouting loudly.
"You stupid, push the cannon forward a little."
"Wang, push any further and you'll be within their range." said the pirate gunner
"What's there to be afraid of, they haven't come out now, which means they don't have any manpower, blast the city gate open for me, and we will kill it."
The Pirate King shouted as he directed his troops forward.
As soon as the pirates moved, there was some chaos in the battle formation they had finally arranged, and at this time, the gate of Duke Long's castle opened, and Liu Zhi led his troops to kill them.
