Chapter 19: The Pirate King's Challenge

In a pirate-infested fishing village off the coast of Nord, Delacro's bounty hunters searched around the village, but found no trace of the pirates......

Looking at the village, there are no superfluous buildings, wooden huts that have been demolished in the attack, a few small huts on the edge have been burned to the ground, the few fishing boats have been damaged by weapons, and there are a few large fishing nets on the nearby beach.

Blown by the twilight breeze, Delacro peered into the distance until Polislawi approached him.

"Sir, what shall we do now, shall we move forward or ......" Polis Ravi was confused about the location of the Pirate King, and asked Delacro for advice.

"I think that after the Great Purge, most of the pirates will still operate along the coast, but the pirate king ......" he pointed to the sea in the distance, and continued, "He should have attacked the coastal villages frequently on the sea, and this fishing village is the answer......

White looked around, and seeing that the bounty hunters who were traveling with them were all eager to try, he asked, "So we need to go to other coastal villages and wait for their plunder?"

"No, I think they'll come back...... Looking at what was left here, except for the kidnapping of the villagers, everything that was beneficial to the pirates was well preserved here, and it seems that they intended to build this place into a dock. ā€

As he passed through the wrecked boat, he picked up a hatchet from the fishing boat and explained, "I know very well the armament of the Nords, and this is the hatchet equipped by the Nord recruits, which should be the relics of the village guards. ā€

White thought about it, but still couldn't find an answer, and said, "That doesn't mean anything, there are still no survivors nearby." ā€

Delacro picked up another kitchen knife on the ground and explained, "This is the weapon used by the inhabitants when they resisted, and it has one thing in common with the short axe just now, that is, there is not the slightest trace of blood. ā€

Immediately afterward, he pointed to the fishing nets on the ground: "The pirates have a common tactic, which is to set up a large number of fishing net barriers in the coastal waters of the base area, and dock the big ships outside the fishing net line, and when they are forced to evacuate the stronghold, the fishing nets will trip the army that comes to clear them. ā€

"Understood, the pirates have taken all the resistance and villagers of the village, and when the tide is calm, they will use them as labor to convert this place into a dock where the pirates will land. ā€

"Suffice it to say, it's not just pirates who have this kind of vision. Therefore, I concluded that the attack on this fishing village was our target. ā€

After the discussion, Delacro had come up with a plan to order his bounty hunters to dispose of all the horseshoe prints in the vicinity, and then tell them to hide in the caves that the villagers used to store salt.

When everything was ready, he looked at the tidyed up fishing village and nodded, handed over the final order to White, and said, "This attack hasn't leaked yet, the pirates should come back here tonight, please find a commanding height, and use your archery skills to help me when I am dealing with the pirates." ā€

Polislawi agreed, and climbed to the roof of the hut, which was not too high, but sniped at anyone on the beach at night, and when he was ready, he signaled to Delacro on the beach in the distance, and the ambush was officially ready.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the last rays of the setting sun also sank into the sea, and the night had fallen on the earth, and the only source of light was the moon in the night sky, and as Delacro had expected, a few fires appeared on the sea level in the distance, and several large sailing ships sailed over......

In less than a quarter of an hour, several sailboats at the end of Delacro's field of vision dropped anchor offshore, and in an instant they lowered six or seven sampans and sailed towards the beach where Delacro was. When the dinghy was on the shore, several pirates armed with long axes came down from the boat, escorted a dozen villagers from the boat to the village, but in the middle of the beach bumped into the long-awaited dracro, the long sword in his hand and the dark village behind him seemed to add a dark cloak to him, like a white-haired demon coming to harvest the soul, the frightened pirates took out their weapons one after another, and approached one step at a time.

"I know you're goshawk pirates! I'll tell you, it's besieged, and now I need to see your leader!"

The pirates in the front row instinctively took a few steps back, and a few of the daring ones rushed towards Delacro, trying to prove that they were not the ones to be intimidated by the bandits.

"Look for death!" The moment a blood-red cross phantage appeared, the pirates who rushed forward died under the sword of Delacro, and because the opponent's martial arts were too terrifying, the pirates had to hold the villagers hostage and threaten Delacro......

At this moment, several throwing axes flew out of the sea and hit the shoulders of the pirates, and a figure surfaced from the bottom of the water, and the figure looked particularly tall in the moonlight.

"Coward, I can't even win a noble kid who has never seen the world, so step down for me!"

The man roared from afar, causing all the pirates to step aside, and letting go of the threatened villagers, Delacro motioned for the villagers to flee while he continued to stand before the pirates, who had attracted him to what they had said, and decided to stay and find out.

"It seems that the one who spoke just now should be your leader, I am Victor Delacro, and I have come to challenge you on the warrant of the Nord Kingdom!" Delacro did not pay any attention to the pirate warriors on either side, and raised his sword to point at the person who had just spoken, and concluded that he was his target.

As Delacro's words reached the man's ears, he strode quickly in front of Delacro, a strong man in his thirties, wearing a horned helmet and nearly two meters tall, just like the one drawn on the wanted notices posted throughout Hokuriku. His sturdy upper body was not armored, revealing a body of white muscles, and his lower body was wearing a pair of sharkskin trousers, a pair of sharkskin boots, a well-honed short knife hanging from the buckle of his belt, and two pairs of sharp throwing axes, and the most conspicuous thing was a golden step axe on his shoulder, which made the whole person look extremely powerful.

"I don't remember robbing you, why can't you get along with us......" The pirate leader took an axe from his waist and slapped it against his palm.

"I'm just a mercenary knight, and I've never dealt with pirates before, so I'm going to make sure I make sure I'm not going to catch the wrong person. ā€

When the pirate leader heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and said proudly: "Lao Tzu's name is well-known in the entire underworld! Remember this, I am a legendary pirate who has passed through storms, pierced thunder, and stepped on the sea!"

"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it...... All I want to know is your name, and your identity, that's all. Unable to stand the other party's self-aggrandizement, Delacro yawned helplessly.

"Lonely noble boy, for the sake of your skill just now, Lao Tzu will tell you! I am the leader of the Goshawk Regiment, Nabal Geshark, it is not so easy for you to crusade against me!"
