Chapter 53: Betrayal

Silver Elune hung high in the air. Under the moonlight, the gentle evening breeze gently blows across the sea, bringing a shallow wave, and the huge ship sways from side to side with the waves. The sound of the wind and the sound of the water are pieced together into a tranquil requiem under the bright moonlight.

Annie? Bonn, the supreme leader of the North Sea pirates who remained in the docks, was not at all at peace at the moment.

Once the daughter of a wealthy family, she knew very well how powerful a city could be, and if it weren't for the continuous loud explosions that had come from the city and the fire in the city, which could still be seen clearly, the nimble new pirate would have already begun to think about the way forward.

But even if things look good now, what does she say to Jonah? Raheem Sterling's adventure remains unoptimistic. Even in the best of the world, there is no way to do it before absolute strength.

In her eyes, no matter how earth-shattering the explosion in the city was, it was impossible to mobilize the entire garrison of Stratholme, and as for the remaining garrison soldiers and the army sent by Lordaeron, she didn't think that these guys would tear each other down in this chaotic time.

Even though Lordaeron had already set out to recover the gold mines of Stratholme, they wanted not a ruin, but an important trade staging point. And for these two parties, no matter which wave of people his arrogant captain encounters, he will also face a bloody battle with more losses and fewer victories.

What's more, she didn't trust the thief who came to her door on her own initiative. At best, that kind of excuse for revenge can only deceive the group of pirates around him who only know how to rob and kill, and they can't hide themselves from this smart person with rich social experience.

Everyone acts for their own benefit, which is the conclusion she has come to after two years in the market. All of them, there must be interests behind the thief's alliance with the North Sea Pirates, and this unknown is precisely what worries people the most. No one would want to see an ally who fought side by side one moment stabbing themselves in the back the next.

However, the biggest problem in front of him now is that the cunning pirate leader is left behind with his real henchmen. As a newcomer, even Jonah? Sterling temporarily appointed herself as her deputy, and she still had no way to really command the group of pirates who were now left behind.

They will only protect the six warships docked in the docklands as the pirate leader has ordered, for Jonah? Sterling's possible failures leave him at bay and watch himself by the way.

After looking around at the ill-intentioned gazes around her, a trace of irritation rose in the heart of the woman with neat short hair for no reason, these damned, vulgar pirates!

Without waiting for the cold sea breeze to cool her restlessness, in the distance, there was a faint commotion in the direction where the pirates who had come ashore to plunder had left half an hour earlier.

That arrogant bastard retreated? Or was he driven back by the enemy so quickly? The woman had some doubts in her heart, but this did not make her let her guard down, she drew her scimitar and shouted, "Alert! ”

Although the remaining pirates were resentful of being held on top by this new woman, and usually liked to cut corners, they would never joke with their lives when faced with a possible battle.

The pirates, who had been sitting or lying down, all stood up. They cursed obscene words, raised their weapons in their hands, and looked viciously at the way where the shouts rang out, like wolves in the dark.

To everyone's surprise, it was not their leader who came to them, but their ally in this operation, the thief who lured them to the city!

"Lady Bonn, we meet again," shouted the thief at the front, as casually as if he were greeting an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.

However, this kind of contrived kindness could not have made the vicious pirate let his guard down, let alone the fact that he was followed by so many sword-wielding and heavily armed soldiers!

"Segaard Brisbours, what are you doing!"

The female pirate always remembers the experience that was once given to her by the old thief who she regarded as her own relatives - when dealing with the enemy, you can never weaken your momentum, especially when the enemy is stronger than your own, and you must put on a strong posture to make it difficult for the other party to judge your hypocrisy.

Now, she's doing the same. Although the number of soldiers behind the other party far exceeded that of her own group of pirates as far as she could see, she still made a confident appearance and did not flinch in the slightest.

It's a pity that the pirates under her command obviously haven't studied the actors' self-cultivation well. Faced with a large number of warriors who could not distinguish friend from foe, the pirates automatically retracted their defenses, and this action directly pierced the woman's disguised power.

"I'm just here to fulfill my promise," the man's face was full of smugness, "I promised Jonah before?" Captain Sterling blocked half of the Stratholme garrison for him, and now it's just a matter of letting you see the fruits of my efforts. ”

"At my invitation, Count Capel and Duke Rofal have agreed to come and meet you with half of their city guard."

Segard enjoyed the shock and horror on his face, and he turned back and made a noble salute, "Two lords, please come and meet our friends." ”

As he spoke, two robed, hooded figures stepped out from among the dense guards in front of the pirates. As they slowly lifted the hoods on their heads, the old faces of the two nobles were exposed to the moonlight.

As Jonah? Sterling's deputy, Anne, who has always regarded leadership and resourcefulness as her strengths? Naturally, Bonn couldn't have been as ignorant as the ignorant muscular men under him who didn't know the names of Capel and Rofal.

But what she saw was so shocking that even though half of the defenders were already standing in front of her, she still couldn't believe that the two big men who had turned their hands in Stratholme would come to her own trouble.

Could it be that this is a game set against the pirates of the North Sea?

As soon as this thought rose from her mind, she threw it out of her mind, and with the strength of the North Sea Pirates, it was not worth the trouble of the other party, let alone the method of planting bombs in her own house to set up a situation.

Then there is only one answer, they are planning to pull Lordaeron's army and the North Sea pirates into the battlefield at the same time, and suddenly retreat, so that the two sides who have no heads and no brains will fight to the death, and take advantage of the fisherman!

Looking at the pampered team in front of her, she finally understood why this damn thief would make such a failed assassination, he intended to expose himself without leaving a trace of the pirate's tracks in front of Lordaeron's eyes.

As for the defeat, I am afraid that it was deliberate, because the other party only wanted to make Lordaeron's army vigilant, and did not want them to find an excuse to put their hands on Stratholm in the open!

Thinking of this, the female pirate didn't know what to say. At this moment, she only felt like a marionette, manipulated by invisible thin threads to move stupidly on the chessboard.

The Duke of Rofal did not speak, but simply stood there quietly. Count Capel smiled more ugly than crying, and said to the female pirate: "Surrender, young man, you are not our opponent, Jonah?" Stirling is finished! There is no vendetta between us, and I don't want more people to die on this night. ”

"You've won, what more do you want?"

Feeling that she was being played, the female pirate yelled as if she was going crazy: "The pirate's kneel and beg for mercy? It's disgusting! ”

However, the well-cultivated aristocratic old man was not angry at the other party's gaffe, he quietly looked at the crazy female pirate, and clearly spat out two words: "Freedom." ”
