Chapter 36: The Saber and the Scimitar

In such a chaotic situation, the musketeers were completely useless. The crowd is too dense, and the situation of me in the enemy has made the musket, which is not very accurate, lose the space to be used. If you are not careful, you may accidentally injure your own soldiers. One could even say that. In this case, the musketeers are as likely to kill their own people as they are to kill the enemy.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Asami made a new decision - to let the musketeers abandon the long-range attack, draw their swords, and join hand-to-hand combat.

And in such a big melee, the fifty soldiers said more and more and said less, and almost had no effect, and soon mixed into the chaos and could not be found.

"Damn it. How did they get so many?!" At this moment, standing on the higher bridge, protected by a small number of guards knights and other soldiers of his own, Egil complained, "If I had known that this was the case, I should have assembled a larger fleet. Let hundreds, if not the entire Norman warships, escort me—" His Majesty the Emperor said this in a very excessive way, and aimed at a pirate who was about to rush towards him, and with a "bang!" shot, knocking it down—fifteen gunpowder packs had been used up to now.

Within ten meters, Egil missed a shot, destroying fourteen enemies and injuring one friendly by mistake. That's what he's achieved so far. And the two big killers, Sonia and Nemulis, stood on either side of Egil peacefully, both holding a throwing knife in their hands. When Egil didn't make a mistake, the two men were treated as if they didn't exist. But as soon as Egil made a mistake - missed, the fire was dumb, the shell was jammed, and so on, the big throwing knives would fly towards the enemy......

Not far from Egil, Artoria, who had already turned into a humanoid storm, had already sliced at least thirty Barbary pirates into pieces. With the queen's extreme strength combined with perfect moves, no matter how her opponent reacted, blocked, counterattacked, or dodged, the final result was only one, and that was to chop off some parts, heads, arms, legs, or halves by the Sword of Victory and Oath in Artoria's hands...... Viscera, blood, brains, and other messy organs and bodily fluids splattered. Make this queen look like a demon god.

Artoria's behavior greatly encouraged the surrounding Crusader coalitions. Soon, dozens of soldiers gathered around her, forming a small array centered around her, and began to kill the enemy more effectively. However, Artoria was very unhappy about this - she preferred the feeling of being single-handedly facing thousands of enemies. So I complained a lot in my heart, and my complexion was not very good-looking.

"If you continue to fight like this, there will be no end at all. Artoria grumbled, slashing an enemy to the ground again, holding her sword in one hand and holding the mast next to her in the other, raising her body into the air and looking out - attracting a lot of enemy firepower - but that was nothing to Artoria, clad in the Cursed Armor.

Soon, however, Her Royal Highness shook her head in disappointment, jumped onto the deck and continued to cut people. In such a chaotic scene, and it was still night. It's impossible to find the enemy's leader - or rather, the enemy's leader hasn't appeared yet.

In fact, it's about the same as Artoria thought. On the HMS Royal Navy Victory, when the war broke out in full swing, Hreddin, who was a little far away, and a group of personal guards around him, had just swam to the side of the HMS Victory, and were just about to start climbing the side of the ship.

"When we get to the ship, don't worry about anything else. Follow me and catch the Emperor!" said Hyreddin to the pirates beside him, pulling the rope of his own galleys to the ship.

"Understood, Boss. The pirates who followed him replied.

"Damn it!" Egir was so angry that he withdrew his firearm - the last bullet missed and was unlucky. And twenty gunpowder packs and lead projectiles were also consumed. If anyone else came at this moment, Egil would have to engage in hand-to-hand combat. ...,

In addition, Egil's continuous use of muskets to attack, such violent noises and thick smoke, also revealed Egil's own position to a certain extent. After a period of judging and shouting, many of the Barbary pirates confirmed the news that the other party, the Norman Emperor, was in the direction from which the voice came.

"Let's step back a bit. "For a moment, looking at more and more enemies. Egil cautiously ordered. The soldiers then escorted the emperor and retreated to the bridge. The higher, better view bridge can only be climbed by narrow stairs that allow two people to climb side by side. The soldiers set up their crossbows and bows, and were guarded by the knights of the Guards in full-body plate armor. That's considered safe.

"How's it going?" the other monarchs who had just not gone over to fight, but had stayed on the bridge, watched Egil retreat. Hurriedly leaned over and asked.

"For a while, I couldn't tell the winner. But don't worry. It's safe here. Egil replied.

However, as soon as Egil's voice fell, he saw the glass window on the opposite side shatter. But it was several Barbary pirates who swung from the opposite mast with ropes.

"Bastard!" Egir was furious, and with a bend of his body, a flash of swords severed the carotid arteries of two of the Barbary pirates. And the third, seeing that things were not going well, rolled to the side - only to be kicked over by Charles, King of Burgundy, next to him, and burst his brain with a hammer of a chain.

"It doesn't look like it's safe here. The rest of the monarchs and the guards around them quickly drew their weapons and stood on guard. Henry of Bavaria snorted softly, and then his head was crushed by the guard beside him—and an arrow slammed into the place where he had stood. The cluster of arrows was embedded deep in the plank behind him. If it weren't for the duke's bodyguard. It's hard to say whether the duke will live or die at this moment.

Henry raised his head again, turned around, and looked at the bow and arrow with a slightly trembling bow and arrow with a pale face.

"My lord, it's too dangerous here. Let's go back to the cabin. Next to Henry, Wallenstein, who was also frightened enough, said.

"I'm not leaving! I'm going to fight the infidels to the death!" Henry roared. Embarrassment to death for Wallenstein.

He's right. Egil shook his head, "We'd better go back to the cabin." I don't think you want to die here - we don't even see the shadow of the Holy Land right now. ”

"Your Majesty Egil is right. On the other side, Attila of Hungary agreed, while Albrecht of Brandenburg and Lusiveld of Hesse also turned around and agreed.

"Are you scared?!Are you a monarch?!How will you command the army in the future?!" Henry, however, was extremely excited. Egil couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Did this old fellow eat the wrong thing? Offended five kings at once.

But soon, Henry relented: "I'm sorry - I went too far. Let's go. ”

"None of you can leave!" and at this moment, someone shouted in half-baked Norman - and then Hyreddin, covered in blood and smoke, jumped in through the gap in the glass window that had been smashed by the other pirates. He was joined by two other sturdy Barbary pirates!

"Surrender, Emperor Egil, I won't take your life!" said Hyreddin, slashing down a Hessian guard with a single sword, and then a knight of the guard next to Egil rushed towards him.

"Damn the tin can!" Heledin scolded angrily, lowered his head and flashed the knight's tomahawk, and then grabbed the wrist of the knight of the guard with his other hand, and threw the knight of the guard, who was more than two hundred pounds heavy in armor!

"Stop him, let the kings go first!" shouted beside Egil, and Nemulis threw out four throwing knives in one hand, and then reached for a dagger, one straight and one backward, and rushed towards Hayreddin with both daggers in both hands—only to be stopped by another Barbary pirate.

"Get out of the way, minions!" shouted Nemulis, fighting the pirate—

"As I already said, none of you can leave!" As Hayreddin's words fell, three more Barbary pirates jumped into the bridge and engaged the other guards - and the soldiers guarding outside the bridge heard that something was wrong and rushed into the bridge. The garrison at the stairs suddenly became much more relaxed. A group of Barbary pirates saw an opportunity to begin an onslaught.

"Damn it. Egil cursed secretly, and with a single swing of his sword, a stab broke the tendons of the enemy who was attacking him, and then took a step forward, the saber deflected, a cross cut, and another pick, and the opponent's heart was torn out.

"I didn't expect that the Norman Emperor was so good at fighting!" Seeing that Egil was skillful, Hayreddin couldn't help but praise, and then stepped forward: "It's a pity, so I may not be able to save Your Majesty's life!"

"You'd better take care of yourself first!" Egil stepped forward again. In the exclamation of the knights of the Guards who had no time to rescue, they fought hard with Hayreddin......
