Theodore felt like he was being pitted, and his depressed expression made Donner smile heartlessly.

Before, he confidently told the players that he was not in a hurry, but it was just to boost their morale, and Donner was actually very suspenseful.

After all, it was a pirate group with five or six ships, and its strength was much stronger than that of Crescent Island.

Originally, Downer envisioned that fifty or sixty members of the team would definitely not be enough, he had already planned to mobilize the whole island to resist the coming war, and it didn't matter if the women couldn't lift scimitars, but it should be barely enough to do logistics, with a little training, and throw grenades.

But now that Theodore has arrived, Donald's confidence has suddenly doubled, and he is not so worried about the coming war.

Theodore returned this time with not only fifteen loyal guards, but also seventy or eighty experienced sailors.

These are the things he has become very cautious since he was kidnapped by Crescent Island once at sea, the power on the ship is much stronger than that of ordinary pirate ships, the escort sailors are also very well equipped, and even a bed crossbow that can shoot three spears at once has been reinstalled on the ship.

"Who is Crescent Island going to fight against?" Theodore was a little anxious.

Downer said: "A person called the Blood Shark Pirate Regiment, there is a traitor on the island, and he told them the secret of the porcelain, the people of the Blood Shark Pirate Regiment invaded us a few days ago, and the members of the island repelled them, but the people who thought that the Blood Shark Pirate Regiment would not give up, and the revenge would come soon." ”

"Ahh Theodore hypocritically expressed his regret, "That'...... How long before they arrive?"

It seems that Lord Sir wants to run away and is not ready to participate in the war on Crescent Island.

Downer deliberately threatened him: "Sir Sir, according to the schedule, if you depart for Manhill Harbor now, you may be able to meet them at sea." ”

"This ...... That's it!" Theodore was completely discouraged, and some did not know what to do.

Donner smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Sir, as long as you can stay and help Crescent Island through the difficult time, the Earl's Court will gain the friendship of Crescent Island from now on." ”

Theodore rolled his eyes secretly, and said to himself, who is rare in the friendship of a pirate, and the kidnapping of us has not yet been settled! If it were not for the current trade in porcelain to bring benefits to the troubled Earl's Court, how could a noble nobleman put down his dignity and hypocritically deal with a group of filthy pirates.

"Of course, I won't ask for your help in vain, I will give you a commission according to the rules. Downer then stated the conditions, "Plus, a commission will be offered to hire the sailors on your ship for a while, how about it." ”

Now it is a dilemma, if you leave Crescent Island, you are afraid of encountering pirates, so you stay here, and you are worried that Crescent Island will be attacked and affect yourself.

Theodore smiled awkwardly and said: "My lord said that I am joking, Crescent Island is my friend, it is my honor to help my friend, it is too vulgar to measure it by money, my lord, come, cheers to our friendship." ”

Donald touched the porcelain cup with Theodore without changing his face, and drank the wine down.

Theodore told the ship's sailors the news, and with the exception of a few complaints, everyone else was tempted by Donner's high commission, and they all said that they would live and die with Crescent Island.

Donner didn't expect these sailors to do their best, as long as they could strengthen the momentum of Crescent Island, and share the pressure of Crescent Island during the battle, the most important thing was to rely on the team members on the island, after all, this is their foundation.

The blacksmith used pig iron to cast a large number of grenade shells, and also sent additional people to assist the carpenter in making wooden handles, and also made a lot of explosive bags.

These things were all made by Donner according to the flow of the assembly line, the process was separated, each made in a well-guarded room, and finally assembled in a unified manner.

There are two advantages of using the assembly line method to manufacture, the first is that it can increase the production speed, and the second is convenient for secrecy, after all, in the era of cold weapons, the emergence of thermal weapons can be said to be epoch-making.

If it is made on an assembly line, one person can only operate one process, and it is strictly forbidden to disclose it to each other, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of leakage at this stage.

Donner didn't want the gunpowder weapon to appear in a few days, and the whole world would do it.

Crescent Island stepped up its preparations, and the Blood Shark Pirate Group finally appeared in the waters of Crescent Island after half a month.

The alarm bell came from the dock, and the team members, who had been waiting for it, acted quickly, and Donner immediately rushed to the dock.

The four ships on the sea broke through the wind and waves, the sails were filled with the sea breeze, and they went straight to the dock of Crescent Island with a fierce momentum, which was simply unscrupulous, and they did not consider landing on the back of the island at all, but directly chose to land on the dock strongly, which is too unscrupulous.

After the four pirate ships flying the flag of the Blood Shark sailed into the bay, they began to lower their boats, preparing to use the small boats to land on the dock first, so that the pirates on the large ship could land safely.

Ten small boats, whipped up by the oars, drew a white line of water in the calm bay, and the pirates divided five into their boats and headed to the left and right, apparently to land in parts.

"Mr. First Mate, lead your brother to defend the left, and the captain of the guard will trouble you to guard the right, just contain them, and leave the rest to us. Downer issued the order.

The sailors and the convoy had already been told by Theodore to obey Donner's orders, and with the lure of silver coins, they immediately carried out Donner's orders.

There was only one road to the island from the pier, and at this time the entrance had already been laid out with simple fortifications, bags of sandbags stacked together, half a man high, and the members of the second platoon each had an arquebus, loaded with ammunition and were waiting for the arrival of the pirates.

The pirates' small boats had approached the docks, followed by four large ships.

Ten minutes later, ten small boats landed on three sides at once, armed with scimitars and dressed in tattered sailors' burlap shirts, and Downer could even see the sinister smiles on the pirates' faces behind the sandbags.

One by one, the pirates came ashore, and this time they did not make a big swagger, but watched their surroundings very vigilantly, waiting for all their companions in the small boat to come ashore.

"Fight or not, Commander!" Compared to the nervousness of some of the team members, Mike was extremely excited, and the hand holding the arquebus kept rubbing the butt.

"Wait, don't rush!"

The dock is at least two hundred meters away from the fortifications, and at such a long distance, how can you fight with the range and accuracy of an arquebus?

At the very least, they had to wait until the pirates came within a hundred meters and opened fire, catching them off guard.

The pirates all gathered, and one by one they marched towards the avenue, looking at the sandbags on the opposite side and laughing.

"Ready...... Donner said in a deep voice......
