"Stop them, don't retreat, or you'll die!"

Arenn was wielding his Long Moon Blade Axe, which had a greater range than the Korko's weapons, and the blades made of Kulau's steel were sharper and his armor-piercing abilities were excellent.

However, seeing the militia who retreated in a panic and sold the sideways of their teammates to the pirates, Ellen couldn't help but yell.

Because of this roar, he almost made the Haikou on the other side find a flaw, but this roar also stopped the soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit.

They figured out that the pirates were different from the robbers and bandits of the green woods they had known in Swadia, that they lived by plundering and killing for entertainment, and that if they were defeated, there was only one way to die.

The front was crumbling, and Byron's militia was no match for the relatively well-armed and experienced Bandits. And Vekia's senior light infantry and Svadia's light infantry are also struggling to support, they belong to the same level 3 class as the Haikou, and if they are at a disadvantage in numbers, they will naturally not have an advantage elsewhere.

Now Byron and the others only have two to rely on, one is the cavalry team that has fallen into the sea bandar forces, the other is Ellen, who has dismounted and fought on foot, but can still wield the moonblade axe to defeat three enemies, and Jamila, who is constantly encouraging the soldiers to hold on.

As for Byron himself, although he can fight a draw with a light infantry with the right weapons if he is alone, he can only constantly block and defend against the pirates, for fear of cutting himself down with an axe.

The pirates pitched forward with their shields, and slashed the shields of the militia and light infantry with axes and swords. Across the group, Byron could hear the clear and chaotic tapping of shields, the roars of the pirates, and the screams of the soldiers.

The mercenary sentinels of the other caravan also formed a defensive formation when the pirates attacked, but these eleven mercenary sentinels did not protect the flanks for Byron, and a dozen pirates swarmed up, and a few axes tore a gap between the mercenary sentinels.

Three mercenary sentries were killed by the pirates, and two were missing. Two pirates were impaled through their bodies during the attack. The other pirates rushed behind the shield wall, while some of the mercenary sentries were forced to turn around, trapped inside and out.

At this time, the leader of the caravan finally couldn't sit still, put on a chain armor in a panic, picked up his sword and rushed towards the sea robbers who broke through the interception.

Byron and two other militiamen and a few men from the caravan next door rushed to help, and the leader of the caravan dodged behind one of the pirates, and then slashed his neck with a sword.

For the first time, Byron used a two-handed sword, which was longer and not heavy, but it was a great test of skill.

Byron used his sword to block the axe of the pirate who was rushing towards him, and many sparks burst from the sword.

Then Byron took half a step back, relying on the length advantage and stabbed the coward in the chest with a sword, but because of the protection of the good quality chain mail and the soft armor inside, and because Byron was not proficient in two-handed weapons, he did not pierce, but he still scared the other party to take a step back.

But then the pirate became even angrier, and the axe swung faster.

Byron was a little overwhelmed, but fortunately an old militiaman stabbed the iron spear in time, and plunged the spear into the thigh of the pirate when Byron's sword was about to miss.

The other party stumbled and let out a roar, and Byron also seized the opportunity, and the next sword stabbed into the opponent's exposed neck, and slammed it in a few times, and when the sword was pulled out, the blood sprayed Byron's body.

"This chain mail is good, it's mine."

Byron thought to himself as he drew his sword.

By this time the situation had improved, and although Byron and his cavalry had lost half of their horses, they had managed to break away from the ranks of the pirates, and their spears and lances continued to stab the pirates to the ground, and then the caravan guards who had fallen off their horses would draw their swords and mend their swords.

The strength of the two Vecchian riders was also shown again, they took two pirates with them when they charged, and in the ensuing fight, they took the initiative to dismount and kill four in a row. There were a number of scars on their scales, perhaps some internal injuries, but they were not too dangerous.

After shooting the two pirates, Bandak also wielded a war hammer, and he was slashed by an axe during the battle, and the chain mail and cotton armor on his shoulder were cut off, and he was slightly wounded. However, he and Arenn also held the line with the soldiers around them, and then adjusted their formation to form a circle formation, surrounding many pirates inside.

The pirates finally lost their previous sharpness, and began to form a shield wall and quickly retreated, shouting at Byron as they retreated, and although they couldn't understand what they said, it was definitely not a good word.

Less than half of the pirates eventually retreated, and a small group of pirates rushed to their aid, and Fatis caused the rest of the cavalry to stop the pursuit.

As for the pirates trapped in the circle, the militia and light infantry had already raised their blood-stained iron spears and stabbed them with rage.

The five or six pirates in the circle formation had been suppressed from their range of action at this time, and it was difficult to dodge.

Under the back and forth thrust of a dozen spears, those pirates still resisted, but they were inevitably killed.

Many of Byron's soldiers had their spears cut off by axes, and there were many gaps in their swords.

Now neither side has enough strength to eat each other, they are both holding weapons and staring at each other, bows and crossbows are raised, and the two sides are in a stalemate for a while.

However, this stalemate did not last long, and the movement of the previous battle was a bit loud, especially the roar of those sea robbers, which could be heard from a distance of more than 100 meters. There were often patrols and scouts in this area to prevent the raids of the pirates, and the balance of victory tipped in favor of Byron.

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder, and a group of Vecchian cavalry dressed in thick leather coats and armed with spears and axes gradually appeared in Byron's field of vision.

At least five Vekian riders, with a dozen veteran Vecchian light infantry on horseback, came in Byron's direction.

The pirates quickly left the area after a flurry of insults, fleeing as fast as they charged.

Fatis did not order the pursuit, because their losses were too great, and he couldn't figure out if there was still a squad like the one just now.

On top of that, while it was certain that the cavalry was the official force of Vecchia, if they didn't intend to pursue and Fatis did, it would have ended badly.

Byron breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

"The skull was saved."

He muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
