The minutes ticked by, the clouds still hovered over the town, the rain in the night seemed to show no sign of abating, and the battle in the town of Blue Harbor was as far from over as the night and the rain.

Two veteran mercenaries, Konush and Ducker, led a cavalry team assembled by Finn through the town full of pirate squads, crushing the enemies they saw one by one, and then turning their horses around and picking one direction at random for the next, soon bringing an indescribable sense of fear into the hearts of the other pirates who had invaded the town.

The pirates were unable to light torches in the rain, and news of the "Blue Harbor Cavalry" spread like a sudden outbreak of a plague among the pirate teams that had invaded the town.

Although the bandits from the sea were still carrying out the tasks assigned to them by Redbeard Jackson in the town, each of them almost raised their ears in fear, and always felt that the sound of horses' hooves that was about to bring them disaster could sound somewhere, and then suddenly an unstoppable group of knights would rush out from behind a certain rain curtain in their field of vision.

After all, a rushing cavalry is no joke on the streets of a town with limited width, and no one with the slightest hint of common sense is willing to try the taste of a mantis arm as a chariot with his living body.

Harrison, the leader of a pirate squad, led his thirty-man pirate squad with a cutlass in his hand to an empty market, and found that all the houses around the street were closed, and the sound of rain in the air muffled up all the human voices that he could pull out with his ears, making it impossible for him to easily find the innocents who could be taken away even if there were still residents on the street who had not had time to evacuate.

"Damn it, it's raining tonight...... Harrison sucked his mouth into the stone brick floor beneath his feet, then turned his head to look in the direction of the northern port area.

Redbeard Jackson orders them to find at least two young women in the town with spell casting potential, but Harrison finds that the task doesn't sound too difficult, but it can be a real headache to carry out.

"Captain Harrison."

As he was worried, Harrison suddenly heard his lieutenant whispering to him from the side.

"What's wrong?"

The captain of the pirate squad turned to look at his deputy with some unhappiness, and said in his heart, "You'd better not bring me any bad news." ”

However, the rhythm of reality seemed to be deliberately against him, and before Harrison's lieutenant could say anything to him, the pirate captain himself felt something strange mixed in the rain and into his eardrums from a distance.

"Smack... Smack... Click...... "The sound mingled with the sound of the rain, and it sounded like that.

Harrison raised his hand and motioned for everyone under his command to shut up and avoid unnecessary noise, then tried to calm down and listen carefully to the sound from the rain.

The sound made Harrison feel more and more majestic, and judging by the volume and clarity of the sound, it seemed to be getting closer and closer.

It's as if something unsettling is coming.

The pirate captain's eyes widened, and then he finally heard the true face of this voice - it was the galloping sound of the horse's hooves trampling on the ** stone brick floor!

Could it be the "cavalry of Blu Harbor"? - he thought to himself.

"Everyone, be on guard!" Harrison gritted his teeth and tightened the scimitar in his hand, and with his loud voice, he forced the sound of rain to give orders to the thirty pirate minions around him.

The thirty pirates also heard the sound from the rain, and they all besieged the city in a circle facing outwards back to back under Harrison's command.

Standing right in the middle of a crossroads in the neighborhood, Harrison did not dare to act rashly when his vision was limited by the heavy rain, and he was finally forced to order the pirate squad under his command to be ready for battle in this undefensible location.

Suddenly, a knight with a huge shield rushed out of the rain with his other hand, grasping the reins of his horse, and Harrison's reaction was not slow, and he immediately turned his head and spotted the rider from one of the directions of the crossroads.

"Over there!" The pirate captain loudly reminds the others to focus their attention on the past.

The pirates heard Harrison's words and hurriedly grabbed the scimitar in their hands and pointed in the direction in which the rider had appeared.

A second later, the knight with the giant shield rushed ahead, and the other riders behind him broke through the rain curtain and appeared in the eyes of the pirates one by one.

The riders were none other than the cavalry led by Konusz and Ducker, who spun the chain-attached shield as a hammer and crashed into the crowd as before, Ducker raised his broadsword and the other knights followed the veteran mercenary's rhythm, splitting the formation of Harrison and the pirates in half in an instant.

After the riders completed a round of charges in a linear array, the pirates' side had no time to put up an effective resistance before twelve men were damaged, including Harrison himself who had been picked in the arm by an old rider with a spear.

The pirates almost thought they were finished.

However, the cavalry team does not seem to have any intention of swallowing this pirate squad in one go. After a round of charge with his cavalry, Konush plunged back into the rain from the eyes of the pirates, as if they were just passing by and killing some of the unsightly ants.

Harrison and the pirates who were still alive watched the group of riders in the distance, speechless for a moment by what had just happened.

Half a day——

"Hah, Captain Harrison." The pirate lieutenant looked at his captain with fear, "We... What to do? ”

"......" Harrison looked at the direction the riders were leaving, and his heart was completely out of the guts to continue scurrying like headless flies in the rain.

A few seconds later, as if the stunned pirate captain had been awakened by a wound in his arm, Harrison first muttered, "That cavalry is terrifying...... And it's too dangerous for the captain to let us move in batches in the town like this......"

Then, swallowing his throat, he said to the other surviving pirates in a somewhat frightened voice, "We need to gather the rest of our brothers!" ”

When the words fell, the pirate captain completely lost the mentality of helping his captain find a spellcaster girl, and suddenly wanted to survive this terrifying night and rain in his heart.

……

After defeating Harrison's pirate squad, Konush and Duke didn't feel overly excited, as if the fact that they were able to easily crush those bandits with the advantage of their class was a matter of course.

The riders continued to march in the next direction under the leadership of the two veteran mercenaries, and Duke enjoyed the oncoming wind and rain to speed up to Konush's side, turned his head to his comrades next to him and said, "Hey, Konush, how many pirate squads did we kill just now?" Four? Five? Or six? ”

"God knows, I'm too lazy to calculate." Konush squinted and smiled, his mustache shakingly blown by the wind.

Prior to the operation, Finn had assured them in the conference room at the town hall that the cavalry they were leading would be unstoppable in the rain and the terrain in the town.

Now it seems that the young paladin is right, many of the pirate teams in the town have been overwhelmed by them, and now they don't know what to do.

In order to prevent the pirates from escaping back to the port area, the riders would return to a street that bordered the town and the port area after a sweep of the riders, driving the pirates who tried to escape back to the port area back to the town.

As long as the pirate forces that invaded the town remained in the town, Redbeard Jackson's main army would not be able to retreat at will, and they would be able to complete the containment mission given to them by Finn.

"But then again......" Konush grabbed the reins of his harness in his hand, looked back at an old man who was following the cavalry, and asked, "Lord of the city, is your injury really not serious?" ”

The old man who was watched by the veteran mercenary was none other than Monroe, the old lord of Aurora, who rode on horseback like the rest of the riders and wounded a pirate's arm with his spear during the charge.

Monroe kept his horses under his crotch running at a pace similar to that of the large army, looked back at Konush with a resolute and somewhat stubborn gaze, and replied, "I was on the battlefield when I was young, and it is nothing to me. ”

"Besides, my foolish actions have killed three innocent adventurers and several of my guards...... I have to atone for my mistakes. ”

As he spoke, the old lord gritted his teeth in indignation, and the hand holding the spear gripped the handle even tighter.

Konush and Ducker looked back at the wounded old man, sighed lightly for the old city lord with respect in their hearts, and then tacitly moved their gaze to the north.

In the harbor area in that direction, another elite team led by Fein was also fully prepared to execute the plan, and was now walking towards the red-bearded Jackson's pirate warship standing in the rain and fog......
