Although up to this point, the whole plan has been successful for the most part, but Bai Qi did not let up because of this, he sent a part of the sailors to take over the city wall under the leadership of the first mate, second mate, and boatswain of the warships he appointed, and on the other hand, he sent a part of the sailors to thoroughly search the castle to avoid any fish that slipped through the net.

After making sure that the castle had been completely controlled by himself, Bai Qi arranged for some soldiers to climb to the top of the central fortress and control the four bed crossbows, while paying attention to the situation on the lake, while he himself took Adrian and Rounda to sit in the hall on the fourth floor of the fortress.

The next thing is to wait patiently.

Bai Qi had carefully calculated that if his guess was correct, when the Blackwater Water Thieves would attack the Grey Fortress, and when the Human City-State Alliance would attack Blackwater City.

Based on the information he had, he guessed the possible departure time of the Blackwater Bandits, the approximate distance of the chosen route, the average speed of the fleet, and so ......on, and combined all the situations he could think of, and deduced that the time for the Bandits to attack the Grey Fortress should be tomorrow...... No, it's past midnight, I should say it's before dawn this morning.

Since Bai Qi knows the time to speculate on the attack of the water thieves, then the human alliance will definitely do the same, if the approximate time of the water thieves attacking the gray fortress can be roughly judged, then the best time for the human alliance to attack Blackwater City is naturally self-evident, that is, to attack at the same time as the water thieves.

Based on this judgment, Bai Qi put the adventure plan of capturing Blackwater Castle on this evening.

As time passed, the dawn was getting closer and closer, and Bai Qi's heart gradually became agitated.

Although he has repeatedly calculated all the conceivable scenarios, he is still only thirty percent sure of whether the water thieves will attack at dawn today, and even less sure of whether the human alliance will attack Blackwater City today, and once his guess is wrong, then there will be too many variables during the day tomorrow, once the water thieves outside find out that the Blackwater Castle has changed owners, then they will really become turtles in the urn.

Although most of the power in Blackwater City was taken out by Captain Sasen, some of the water thieves left in Blackwater City were still a force to be reckoned with, not to mention him, there were probably hundreds of strong people at the level of God's Chosen Warriors alone, and the ordinary sailors of more than 100 people under Bai Qi would be torn apart by the water thieves outside in a moment if they were exposed in advance.

Bai Qi stood in front of the shooting hole, watching the night outside getting darker and darker, the darkest time before dawn was coming, and this meant that the dawn was not far away, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

At this moment, a tall and handsome blonde sailor jumped down the stairs in three steps and two steps, and whispered in a suppressed excitement: "Captain! A large number of boats appeared on the lake! ”

Bai Qi suddenly turned around and stared at the soldier who was reporting the news, his eyes bursting with dazzling light.

He waved his arm fiercely and said, "Very good, Duncan, send a signal to everyone to be ready for battle, and no one is allowed to attack without my orders." ”

The excited face of the sailor named Duncan was a little distorted, and he didn't even salute, so he turned around and ran back.

Looking at Duncan's back, Bai Qi let out a long sigh, only to feel a weakness all over his body.

The appearance of the human alliance let Bai Qi know that victory was a foregone conclusion.

Bai Qi, who was completely relaxed, smiled, turned around and waved his hand to the Nonda people, who were even more nervous because the battle was about to break out, and said, "Let's go, go up and have a look." ”

The five of them walked up to the top of the fort, and Duncan was whispering to his companions to adjust the four bed crossbows.

This sailor named Duncan is the first mate of the Dawning, among the batch of retired sailors recruited by Bai Qi, this guy not only has the best boat management skills, but also the most superb martial arts, because he is very handsome, the sailors call him the handsome guy Duncan.

This guy is a famous playboy called by Leoni, and he has caused trouble for the Third Fleet, if it weren't for his kinship with Admiral Hall, I am afraid that he would have been swept away by the Third Fleet a long time ago, which is why he is a noble heir, extremely talented, but always a low-ranking officer.

The bed crossbow was the most commonly used and most powerful long-range weapon on warships in this era, and the level of control of the bed crossbow by this group of sailors did not need to worry about Bai Qi, a layman, at all, so he ignored Duncan and them, and walked straight to the north side of the fortress and looked towards the lake.

The bright moon on the horizon sprinkled a hazy light on the surface of the lake, and standing on a high place, the large fleet of ships several kilometers away was already clearly visible.

Nearly a hundred ships are slowly approaching the port of Blackwater City, and among these hundred ships, there are less than twenty warships. More than a dozen thief ships were at the forefront of the fleet, four assault warships were in the center, and a large number of merchant ships were at the rear.

Bai Qi observed the fleet for a while, then turned around and shouted, "Duncan, come here." ”

Duncan trotted up behind Bai Qi and asked, "Boss, what are your orders?" ”

Bai Qi pointed to the fleet on the lake and asked, "Which fleet are the warships that took the lead?" ”

Duncan didn't raise his head, and replied directly: "It's our Third Fleet, chief, you see, the easternmost larger assault ship is Admiral Hall's ship, and the cargo ships behind are all merchant ships of the major families in Leoni City, I can almost recognize each one." ”

Bai Qi smiled slightly, as expected.

He asked again, "How's the guys getting ready?" ”

Duncan said: "The brothers on the wall have been notified with the word of light, everyone is ready, the bed crossbow has been wound and can be fired at any time." ”

Bai Qi nodded and said: "Very good, let everyone not be nervous, we are already in sight of victory, tell everyone, without my order, no one is allowed to attack, after receiving my order to attack, shoot freely, and aim the bed crossbow at the chosen warrior among the water thieves." ”

Duncan suppressed his excitement and excitement and said, "Understood, sir. ”

Bai Qi said again: "Also, did I let you bring the flag of the city-state of Leoni and the flag of my family?" ”

Duncan patted the package on his back and said, "Take it, I'll take it personally." ”

Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "You find a few people, wait for my order, and be ready to exchange the Blackwater Water Pirate Flag with the flag of our city-state and my family flag at any time, and tell the Third Fleet, this castle is already ours." ”

"Understood!"

Duncan said, turned around and called a few sailors, stood in front of the flagpole, ready to lower the Black Water Bandit Flag on the flagpole in the center of the fortress more than ten meters.

Bai Qi once again focused his attention on the water in front of the harbor.

The huge fleet of ships was getting closer and closer to the port, and it was a little strange for Bai Qi that the water thieves outside the castle had never reacted.

At the current distance, in the light of the moon, the shadow of the fleet is already very clear.

Bai Qi looked down at the tavern outside the castle, what made him speechless was that there were guards on duty outside the gate of each tavern, and no one was lazy, but on the roof of the tavern, there were few sentries to be seen, and the few sentries were also dozing under the parapet of the roof.

It seems that the water thieves in Blackwater City really believe in the Blackwater Swamp too much, and Blackwater City, which has never been attacked by outsiders, has even made the water thieves feel that it is absolutely safe.

From this point it can also be seen that the consuls of Leoni City used their troops fiercely, and if they did not shoot, they would be deadly.

The fleet quickly approached the port, and when it was about a kilometer away, a dozen or so thief hunters and four assault warships at the front of the fleet suddenly parted to both sides, giving way to the merchant ships behind.

Nearly 100 merchant ships quickly poured into the empty port, and because the ships were so dense, they inevitably collided with each other, and some ships even crashed into the port altogether.

At the same time as the merchant ship docked, countless soldiers jumped off the merchant ship and rushed to the dock.

The crashing of the ships and the loud sound of the ships crashing into each other finally alarmed the pirate sentries near the harbor, and it was only then that they realized that they had been attacked.

The silent city seemed to be set on fire, and in an instant it became a mess, and many sleepy-eyed thieves rushed out of the tavern, only to find that they had forgotten to take their weapons, and some of the hangover thieves staggered to the tavern, but fell to the ground themselves, tripping their accomplices behind them.

Many of the headless water thieves who were running around like flies couldn't even figure out where the enemy had fallen from, and the shouts and shouts were so loud that people were confused.

Among the city-state alliance soldiers who entered Blackwater City, it was the space soldiers who rushed to the front, which can be seen from their unique skills.

Seeing this chaos, Bai Qi knew that there was no need to guess the outcome of this war.

Some water thieves rushed towards the castle, not knowing whether to seek refuge or plan to report the news, Bai Qi turned back to the excited Duncan behind him and said: "Order, attack the water thieves, raise the Leoni flag." ”

As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, Duncan immediately shouted loudly at the top of his voice, "Raise the banner of the city-state!" Free fire, bed crossbow aimed at the chosen warrior! ”

The attack from Blackwater Castle was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the water thieves who were still holding on to the last glimmer of hope and counting on the Blackwater Fortress as the last resistance suddenly became completely desperate, and many nimble water thieves had begun to flee in the labyrinthine civilian area around the port.

Perhaps having received orders a long time ago, the coalition soldiers did not pursue the water thieves who had fled into the civilian slums.

Although the coalition soldiers were surprised by the sudden change of banner of Blackwater Castle, they were not surprised, this raid on Blackwater City was a top-secret mission, and most ordinary soldiers only knew about their target after entering Blackwater Lake.

What was truly amazing about this scene was Admiral Hall, who was sitting on the water and commanding the fleet to guard against enemy ships that might appear on the water, and he had never received any information that a friendly army had infiltrated Blackwater City in advance.

Seeing that the battle situation in the tavern area was decided, General Hall hesitated for a moment, let his deputy take over the command of the water, ordered his ship to dock, and led his guards to land.

Coming to a position fifty meters away from the castle, standing behind the shield wall composed of guards, General Hall carefully observed the banner on the city-state, the city-state flag of Leoni City was naturally familiar to him, but the family flag fluttering under the temperament of the city-state made General Hall a little puzzled, the flag made him feel a little familiar, but he couldn't remember which family it belonged to.
