When Adjutant Fagan Foss hurried into the palace chamber of the City of Sorrows to report to the king that Trast Harbor had been captured by the Black Pearl Pirates, King Poz Danmo, who was seated on the throne, was shocked that he had no idea that a group of pirates would be so powerful that they could defeat his own legion.

General Lelando, who was standing next to the map, was also secretly surprised, feeling that he had underestimated the strength of Marcus. So without waiting for the king's order, he took the initiative to ask Ying to take the army to retake the harbor.

The king hurriedly stopped the general's impulsive actions. At the same time, the Duke of Barsaro, the chief physician, and Thor Brick, the chief physician, were invited to the council chamber to discuss how to retake the port of Trast. When everyone was seated, the king told the Duke and the physician the news brought by the lieutenant general, and when he had finished speaking, he stared at them and asked, "Is there any way for the two Aiqing to recapture the harbor?"

The Duke of Barcelona was a resourceful man who had many ideas for the king and was a confidant of King Poz Danmo. He himself had heard of the legendary pirate for a long time, and knew that he had been galloping in the waters of Traster for many years, and the Black Pearl Pirate Regiment led by him was the overlord of the pirates, and the crew members were all extraordinary and brave, and now they had occupied the harbor, and their power was even more stable.

He addressed the king, "Your Majesty, the port of Traster is an important port for the foreign trade of the entire Elven Race, and has been key to the strength of Morrowind for centuries, and now that it is in the hands of Marcus, we must retake it. So, first of all, let's analyze the topography of the harbor. “

The Duke walked to a square table covered with a map, followed by the king, the general, and the great physician, and the crowd gathered around the map. Pointing to a half-curved place on the map, Barsaro said, "Look closely, this location is the port of Trast, which is composed of many islands, its land is not complete, and it is surrounded by sea water to form a natural fortress, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack! ”

The king nodded, "Very good, please continue." ”

The Duke nodded politely in response, and then said, "As we all know, pirates are good at naval warfare, and they are almost invincible in battles on the sea, but they may not be so good on land. And the elven army is good at land warfare, and if you fight them on the shore, you only need one elven cavalry to wipe them all out. “

"Makes sense! Duke of Barceló, your analysis is to the point, just follow your deployment and annihilate the pirate group to recapture the harbor. The king said happily.

The faces of the others also showed joy.

"However, Marcus is a legendary pirate after all, and he will not be easily defeated by us. Moreover, if we raise our troops to besiege the pirates, and the Skeleton Legion takes advantage of the situation, we will be unable to save ourselves from the enemy, and even with the help of the good Wood Elves, Morrowind will still face the same tragic fate as the Hammer Nation. Your Majesty, I suggest that General Lelando and I lead five thousand cavalry to test the strength of Marcus. If the attack goes well, annihilate the pirates and return with the head of Marcus, or if that fails, ask the Dark Brotherhood for help and have the Assassins kill Captain Marcus, and if he dies, the Black Pearl Pirates will be defeated and we will still be victorious. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Wonderful!" the king patted his thigh and said appreciatively, "Duke of Barceló, you are really worthy of being my wise man, and your analysis is reasonable and well-founded. ”

Thor Brick also praised Barcelo for his resourcefulness and promised to do everything in his power to prepare his troops for healing.

Early the next morning, the king and the general came to the barracks, selected five thousand soldiers, and set out from the city of sorrows, under the command of General Lelando, with the assistance of Barcelono. After a day's march, they reached an island near the harbor of Trast, where they chose a flat place to set up camp. When everything was set up, the general sent experienced scouts to the harbor to observe the pirates' fortifications.

By noon, Lelando and Barcelona were still in their tents discussing how to attack. At this moment, the scout galloped back on horseback, and without waiting for his horse to stop, he turned over and jumped down, strode into the account, and knelt on the ground to pay homage to the general.

Lelando ordered his minions to bring the Scout a glass of wine, and said with concern, "Don't worry, finish the drink and report slowly." ”

The Scout took a glass of wine and drank to the bottom of the sky, then breathed a long sigh of relief and told the two commanders in detail what he had seen and heard in the harbor.

After hearing the scout's report, the general was so satisfied that he immediately decided to attack the harbor, and he asked his staff officer Basaro, "Your Excellency, where do you think we should attack?"

Barsaro twisted his jaw and thought for a moment, then said, "Capture the watchtower first, stop the crossbowmen from shooting arrows at us, and disarm the threat from the air." Then use the shield array to protect the army from the attacks of the warriors. ”

"Very well, let's march in this way and attack the Black Pearl Pirates. "Lelando took the case.

Lelando and Barcelona led 5,000 cavalry to the island less than two miles from the watchtower, divided into three legions, left, center and right, and arranged opposite the harbor. The guards on the watchtower had already discovered the elven army, and quickly transmitted the information to Marcus on the battleship, and at the same time sounded the siren. The captain immediately dispatched his troops for defensive deployment, leaving a thousand sailors to defend the harbor and the ships, and he himself came out with 10,000 crossbowmen and warriors to meet the battle.

The two sides are tense, and there is a great tendency to trigger a trigger. On the eve of the battle, General Lelando rode to the front of the group, hoping that the Black Pearl Pirates would withdraw from the harbor, so he shouted to the captain, "Marcus, don't be so rampant! Otherwise, we will destroy you by force. ”

Marcus sneered a few times, "Your suggestion, I'll think about it, but not now." If you want to retake the harbor, let's fight!"

"Column, attack!" Lelando ordered loudly, "Fight for the territory, brave elves!" The first three rows of cavalry responded in response, marching in a neat formation with elven swords in hand. Lelando said to Barcelo, "My friend, if I die in battle, please bring the rest of the soldiers back to the City of Sorrows safely." ”

Barcelona was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "I promise, I will bring them back safely." The great Mora is with us. With that, he raised his hands to the sky in a prayer gesture.

Lelando smiled with satisfaction, raised his elven sword and shouted, "Attack!"

The war is officially underway, and both teams are accelerating. The pirates rushed with black axes, and the short swords in the hands of the elven warriors gleamed brightly in the sunlight. Suddenly, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the cavalry that rushed to the front were shot down. Then, the orc warriors had already rushed over and collided with the cavalry, and the elves and orcs engaged in hand-to-hand combat. In an instant, the sound of ping-pong fights on the battlefield was higher and higher.

Athletic and irascible, orc warriors rely on their great strength to knock down their horses and throw elven warriors off their horses, while their great axes can also hit a cavalry and crush their opponents.

Unable to use their strength against the orcs, the elven warriors had to take advantage of their small and agile nature to quickly weave through the crowd and attack each other by surprise, cutting the orc's hamstrings, arms and even cutting off their heads.

The battle has become more intense than ever. Horses neighed, shouts of slaughter abounded, armor and leather armor rolled, heads flew sideways, blood splattered, and elven warriors killed a group of pirates, and the pirates hacked a large number of elves to death in a-for-tat manner.

The fighting continued into the early afternoon, with the same number of casualties on both sides. In the crowd, General Lelando fought selflessly, but pirates continued to surround him, and his mount had been hacked to death and lay in a pool of blood.

At this time, one of the dark-faced first mates in the pirate group noticed the general, and he grinned coldly. He took a bow and arrow from a soldier behind him and aimed it at Lelando, and then suddenly let go of it, the arrow shot through the crowd and hit Lelando's chest, and after the arrow, the general's face showed a look of extreme pain, he could no longer fight, and the elven sword fell from his hand. Seeing this, the surrounding pirates immediately pounced on him, picked up their axes and slashed at Lelando's body, blood gushing out like a spring. In an instant, Lelando's body was attacked again, chopped into several pieces, and his head, limbs, torso, and legs became a blurry mass of meat sauce, soaked in pools of blood.

The general's tragic death left Barcelona angry, and he wept bitterly and called out the general's name. With the death of the general, the situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse. The elven army, which had lost its command, was in chaos and began to retreat in disarray. The orc pirates killed the red eyes, and each one turned into the devil and spared no risk of his life like a madman. Under the leadership of the black-faced first mate, he frantically slaughtered the elven soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit, cutting down one piece after another like mowing grass.

The elven legions suffered heavy losses, and Barsaro immediately ordered the remnants of his soldiers to retreat beyond the island. At the same time, he summons the wolves of the forest to defend against pirates. At this point, the pirate group achieved a complete victory, and the elven army withdrew from the Traster Sea.

The sad heart trembled. The soldiers lit torches and silently followed behind the staff officers, their expressions stiff and their faces as dead ashes. Barsaro sat down on his horse and stared at the ground, all in deep grief. Of the five thousand soldiers, only more than two hundred remain, including the wounded. Unable to look directly at the sad faces of the soldiers, Barsaro prayed silently in his heart, "Great Mora, open your eyes and see, your people are being persecuted, don't you have a little compassion? ”

There are still wounded people who continue to fall, and the pain has taken their lives. This made Barçaro feel even more painful, and he constantly blamed himself deeply. At the same time, he did not forget his promise to the general to bring the army back to the city of sorrows as soon as possible.

Thinking of the responsibility on his shoulders, he perked himself up and decided to boost his morale. So Barsaro walked up to the soldiers and said in a loud voice, "Dear warriors and friends, this battle has proven that you are unrivaled warriors, the bravest and proudest of the elves, worthy of the pride of our people. Although many comrades were lost in this battle, please do not grieve, grief cannot bring General Lerando back to life, nor can it resurrect the dead compatriots. We remember them, they are the heroes of the elves. Although they have died, their spirit will always be with us and remind us of our responsibility. Lelando has set an example for us, and as long as we live, we will one day defeat the pirates and avenge them by killing Marcus!"

With that, Barcelo led everyone to kneel on the side of the road and pray for the dead soldiers. At the end of the ceremony, Barcelona said to the crowd, "Brave soldiers, work hard for your family, your friends, and our homeland!"
