On the turret of Port Royal, Adjutant Groves was patrolling in a neat line with a group of soldiers, who had just arrived at the fortifications by the sea to complete a shift change, and now it was his last routine patrol before resting.

Although, now Port Royal nominally belongs to the witches, and even his own soldiers are nominally prisoners of others, but Adjutant Groves still feels that here, sooner or later, it will still belong to the British Empire! Therefore, he still performed his duties dutifully as usual.

And in fact, it is true, now, in addition to the witches who have the final say, in this city, in various departments, they are still in charge!

For example, here today, the most important fortifications and turrets of the port royal seaport city, they are still guarded by their soldiers, but they no longer fly the flag of the British Empire. If anyone is sure they can deal with the witches, they just need to raise the flag again, and then it's back to the port city of the British Empire!

"Who's over there! Belch...... Is it Brigadier General? ”

As they patrolled to the top of the fortifications, Adjutant Groves found their Brigadier Norrington alone in a corner with a glass of rum, gulping down his cannon and looking at the non-existent scenery of the sea.

After signaling his soldiers to patrol first, he walked to Brigadier General Norrington's side, and then Groves looked at the sea, and now the night was very heavy, and under the dark clouds, in this weather, there was no sight at all on the sea in the distance! Even the Dreadnought and the Interceptor in the military harbor below can only see the two wind lanterns at the stern of the ship.

"Your Excellency, it's late at night, it's time for you to go and rest, and leave the rest to us!"

After being silent for a while, Adjutant Groves dutifully walked up to the brigadier general and said loudly, "There are so many things that have happened today, indeed, it is estimated that no one will be in a good mood."

"Oh? It's Groves, you......"

Norrington ignored what the other man said, still leaning on the side of the cannon like that, and took another long sip of rum before exhaling hard.

"Huh...... Groves, in just half a day, we have fallen to the point where we are in front of us, where can we sleep? ”

He was just promoted to brigadier general a few days ago, and then he immediately became a prisoner today, the ups and downs of this life are really too fast, isn't he allowed to drink some wine to relieve his aggrieved and depressed mood?

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General! It's only three months anyway, so why should you do this? ”

Adjutant Groves couldn't bear to watch the brigadier general drown his sorrows like this, didn't the witch say it anyway? After three months, let them go, and since that's the case, what is there to worry about? When the time comes, you can sail out to sea and completely get rid of the witch's control.

"Hah! You still haven't figured it out, Groves, it's not that simple. ”

Norrington looked at the adjutant, then laughed self-deprecatingly, and took another sip of wine!

This incident is a stain that cannot be erased for life for him, even if three months later, the witch really lets them go as promised, the other soldiers and junior officers may be fine, but he Norrington will be miserable!

If you seize power and be idle, it's like that for a lifetime! At worst, it is not impossible to be kicked out of the army, from a brigadier general to a civilian, and even go to prison for questioning!

Adjutant Groves looked at the brigadier general like this, and did not speak again, after watching another wave of soldiers changing the guard in the distance, he knew that it was late at night, and it should be the last wave of changing the guard.

Then he silently stood beside the brigadier general, and without speaking, he just stood quietly to the side, also looking at the sea in the distance, where he could not see anything.

……

Suddenly, there were several muffled sounds of "whoosh, whoosh", followed by a burst of banging sound from the distant sea, and at the same time, the city wall not far from them burst into the violent crash of solid cannonballs and the explosion of the city wall as it shattered.

Norrington and Groves were in good spirits, and it was ...... Shelling? Then they quickly crouched under the parapet on the rampart!

For a navy like theirs, who lives at sea all year round, these voices are all too familiar! And now, someone actually shelled Port Royal in the middle of the night? Moreover, the other party is still taking advantage of the night to approach the shelling port?

"Shelling! Enemy Attack!! ”

Adjutant Groves immediately began to shout, and at the same time, the sound of shells being hit by shells was constantly heard from the surrounding walls, and the sound of dense artillery could be heard on the sea.

At this moment, the shore defense batteries of Port Royal also began to be noisy, and the well-trained royal soldiers began to run to their respective gun emplacements one by one, and began to carry shells and powder kegs, ready to load and counterattack.

"Quick! All artillery is in place at once! Prepare for a counterattack!! ”

Brigadier General Norrington also began to throw away his bottle, stood up and yelled at the somewhat flustered soldiers!

Today, they just had an accident with Port Royal and was occupied by witches, and now someone has come to bombard the port? It would definitely not be their own British Royal Navy, and Norrington, as a brigadier general, knew that his own navy would definitely not react so quickly! Then, it can only be an enemy ship or pirate, this is definitely a premeditated attack!

After watching the soldiers quickly take their positions, load the gunpowder shells, close the gun doors, and push the guns out of the muzzles of the city walls, Second Lieutenant Norrington breathed a sigh of relief, even though so many things had happened today, his soldiers' combat effectiveness was still there.

Then, he took out the binoculars he had brought with him to see where the enemy was!

It's a pity that the enemy didn't continue firing just after a round of sudden shelling, and the other party's ship didn't seem to have any lights, so in the current weather, he couldn't see the specific location of the enemy's ship at all, and could only roughly judge a direction.

"Brigadier General! You see, there seems to be a ship on the sea? They also lowered the dinghy?! ”

Adjutant Groves suddenly shouted at Norrington, and pointed to the sea near the harbor, where the shadows of several dinghys could already be faintly seen.

Hearing the adjutant's prompt, Norrington hurriedly turned the telescope to the direction indicated by the adjutant to look over, no, it was better to use the telescope, he had already seen it with the naked eye.

Where, in the dark sea, those dinghys were filled with sailors! Judging by their inconsistent outfits, it must be a group of pirates?

Are their pirates crazy?

Norrington has an unbelievable feeling, these pirates have come to the port to secretly fire a few cannons to increase their momentum, and they can just run and enjoy it, and now, they still want to play landing operations with the regular army? Could it be that his royal musketeers are really so easy to bully? It's okay to be beaten by a witch and lose your temper, and now, even these pirates and other cats and dogs have come out to step on themselves?

"Groves, lead three hundred men down at once! Go to the harbor square below and be sure to eliminate the pirates who landed! ”

After seeing the adjutant lead the order to leave, Norrington said to the gun emplacements officers who were on standby: "No. 1 and No. 2 gun emplacements fire freely and sink those approaching boats!" The other gun emplacements are on standby, and if you spot an enemy ship, shoot directly! ”

"Yes! Excellency! ”

An artillery officer quickly took the order to leave, and when he turned around, it was only a moment before more than 20 heavy coastal defense guns in the lower artillery positions No. 1 and No. 2 began to roar.

Boom~Boom~Boom~!

Bursts of cannonballs whistled towards the boats near the port, smashing up columns of water, and one of the shells even hit an unlucky boat, tearing it into a pile of pieces, and even the pirates who were riding on it were blown into the sea.

At this time, on the dark sea that could not be seen in the distance, an arrogant voice was shouting loudly.

"Hahaha! You all feel it, right? That thing, it's in this Port Royal! So, hurry up, put the last two dinghys down, and give me all the gold coins!" If you can't find it, don't come back! ”

Hector? Captain Barbossa was smiling aboard the Black Pearl, and he drove the remaining pirates aboard the Black Pearl with him to board the last two dinghys.

Two days ago, the Black Pearl, which was still wandering around the sea, suddenly received a special fluctuation from the cursed Aztec gold coin, and then, the Black Pearl, which was at full speed, rushed to Port Royal for two whole days!

This cursed gold coin, they had been looking for for a long, long time.

Although before that, they found the vast majority of the gold coins! But...... There's one last one left!

For this last gold coin, they have been searching for the vast sea for many years, and there is no information! And now, they've finally received the kind of fluctuation it's coming from, and it's right now in this Port Royal! They're about to find it, and the damn curse is about to leave them!

"Bastard, get down! Attack me to the shore, to the city! ”

Captain Barbossa kicked a grinding pirate into the dinghy before swinging his sword and shouting, "Fire!" ”

The guns on the Pearl roared again, and its re-fire finally allowed the defenders on the shore to find the exact position, and then the defenders' heavy artillery counterattacked! Two solid shells even knocked the Black Pearl through two piercing holes, tearing several unlucky eggs to shreds.

It's just that Captain Barbossa doesn't mind this, and now these people are cursed by the Aztec gold coins, and under this evil curse, these people are now immortal and immortal!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stupid enough to send a few dozen pirates to land in port and confront the British, who had at least a thousand regular soldiers. In his mind, he couldn't die anyway, go ashore to wreak havoc and loot, and then rob the Aztec gold coins and run away, no matter how many people there are in the British, what can they do?

As long as they are not caught red-handed, as long as they are not burned to ashes on the fire, even if they are blown to pieces, they are still immortal, which is why Barsabo has the courage to attack a city.

"Gun on the shoulder! Aim! First Row Preparatory ......"

Adjutant Groves was now standing in front of two hundred soldiers in the unloading square of the port, and they formed a phalanx of two hundreds, and near the city gate behind, a hundred-man team was on standby.

"Fire!"

Seeing the thirty or forty pirates who had finally landed on the shore charging at them in a haphazard formation, Adjutant Groves frowned in confusion, and although he was a little puzzled by the foolishness of the enemy, he gave the order to open fire.

He didn't know why these pirates dared to charge at their musketeer phalanx, so they seemed to be such a small number. Could it be that their brains are in water? Want to die?

Bang~! Bang~! Bang~! Bang~! A neat volley of muskets was fired.

"Second row! Fire! ”

Bang~! Bang~! Bang~! Bang~!

Against such a small number of enemies, Groves did not ask for a three-stage fire at all, but only asked for a direct salvo from the two rows of soldiers in front of him, believing that with only two rounds, these pirates would die without a single one!

Sure enough, at the end of the two volleys, the pirates were all knocked to the ground by a large number of bullets.

Just when Groves thought that the battle at the port was over, and was about to ask the soldiers to gather and clean up the battlefield, who would have thought that the pirates, who should have been lying on the ground and already dead, would stand up one by one? On their bodies, they can even clearly see bullet holes penetrating their bodies, but the strange thing is that there is no blood stain on their bodies?

"Aha! We can't die, brethren! Come on! ”

The pirates who stood up looked at the panicked royal soldiers on the other side, then raised their scimitars with a sinister smile and charged at the opposing army once more.

My God......

Groves gasped! How is it that he is an enemy who can't be killed? What's wrong with the world? First the witches who were invulnerable and had terrible witchcraft, and now here are these unbeatable pirates? Can this still make them have fun with the Royal Navy?

"Third row shooting! One or two rows resist! Bayonet flat lifted! Press them back! ”

After trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, Groves dutifully ordered.

At this point, it's obviously too late to reload! Fortunately, after the witch incident, the hearts and nerves of these people have been trained to be relatively tough, so these pirates can't scare them for the time being.

After another round of shooting, the moment the two sides came into close contact, the bayonets of the royal soldiers stabbed the robbers running in unison. It's just that even though these pirates have been stabbed in the body with bayonets, they still continue to wave their swords at the soldiers as if they were nothing!

For a while, the two sides were constantly attacking each other, although there were still many royal soldiers pressing the pirates, but it was the flesh and blood royal soldiers who began to suffer casualties!

Groves was horrified to find that these pirates, although they did not have the same desperate magical power as witches, they seemed to be unbeatable!

"Stab him !!"

Look at the way the pirate who was grabbed by several soldiers and pushed to the ground by his limbs, and kept stabbing with his bayonet, but he was still trying to get up and fight back. If you don't die after stabbing them dozens of times, do you still want to dismantle them to pieces?

"Where's my head? Ha, found it! ”

And the pirate over there, whose head had been cut off by a sword, his headless body, was groped all over the ground, and when he found his own head, he pressed his head back to his neck, and then he could continue to fight? That's too much......

The adjutant had already seen that these pirates, in terms of strength, they were completely like ordinary people, and they were not too outstanding. It only takes two or three soldiers to pin each other to the ground and beat each other violently! However, no matter how you fight, you can't effectively hurt the other party at all, and in just a while, there have been more than 20 casualties among the royal soldiers, and Groves is frightened and is considering whether to order a retreat now?

At this moment, the clouds in the sky were scattered by the sea breeze, and then, a ray of moonlight shone down on the two sides of the battle in the harbor.

The pirates who were illuminated by the moonlight immediately turned into a different look: they all turned into a hideous skeleton, their tattered bodies, and shriveled skeletons, and they were all a group of skeleton monsters?!

I see!

Groves finally understood, no wonder they couldn't fight to death! It turns out that these pirates are just a bunch of undead skeletons......

"O devil! Run!! ”

I don't know who started first, but when they saw the true appearance of the enemy, the soldiers began to spontaneously and quickly disengaged from the battle, turned around and ran, and some even dropped their weapons directly!

Today, they have experienced an afternoon of fighting with witches, and they finally calmed down, and now they have encountered this kind of monster again, their will to fight, has been low to zero, at this moment, they no longer want to fight with this inhuman monster!

"Retreat !!"

Originally, there was a hundred-man phalanx near the city gate behind, and when the officers of this phalanx were still hesitating to step forward to support, they finally saw the specific situation of the pirates under the moonlight, so he did not wait for the order of Adjutant Groves, and directly made the decision to retreat, and their 100 people also began to turn around and quickly run towards the city gate.

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General? What do we do now? ”

On the city wall, the officers who had stopped the shelling gathered around Norrington in twos and threes, and they were also frightened by the battle below, that group of pirates, it turned out to be a group of skeletons? How is this possible?

"Humph! What panic? Let the witches deal with it, you see, isn't she already here? ”

Norrington stopped his men's commotion and motioned for them to look in the direction of the city, where on the other side of the street, a girl floating in mid-air was speeding in the direction of the city gate harbor.

The world is really getting more and more interesting......

Tsk, look, first there were terrifying witches during the day, and now at night, there are unbeatable skeleton pirates again? That's a lot of fun! So, why don't you let Norrington take a good look at it and see what these witches are like? Or are the skeleton pirates who can't be killed more powerful? It would be better if they both lost!
