1248 Wind and Rain Come Together (4)
The bleak sound of the wind blowing from the port side rolled up the curtains of the windows of the conference hall, and floated in the air like a shroud, and the air was filled with the smell of burning, and the huge black column of smoke rising from the port position, like a black dragon, spread, twisted, and shocked in the sky.
The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.
Roberio, who sat on the throne, did not say a word, and Heward's words touched everyone's hearts, if the pirates were vampires entrenched in the fairway, then the Normans were the vampires of these pirates,
"If what Heward said is true, then I'm in favor of surrendering!" said one of the seven pirate leaders sitting on the left, rising from his seat and saying, "The enemy's combat strength is above ours, and this sudden fleet has the firepower to completely destroy us," The dozens of troop carriers that the other side has not yet landed are more like the sword of Ansomos hanging over our heads, let's see, the entire port is burning, and in just ten minutes, the fleet on the sea has turned our port into a hell, and this is still when the opponent's powerful army has not used it"
The pirate leader's ugly voice stopped, and he said in a trembling voice, "All of you here are your own people, I won't say those foolish words, let's just say it, based on the calculation that each troop carrier of the other side can carry 200 soldiers, the other party's army dispatched this time has reached at least a considerable 4,000 people, and the strength of the entire port is only less than 1,000 people, plus the current situation is completely chaotic, we can't organize resistance at all" "Then why does the other side still ask for surrender?" A smuggler asked puzzledly, "If you really have such military strength, you can just land on the island, why bother so much!" "This is also the main reason why I proposed to surrender!" The pirate leader swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and responded with a twinkling eye, "Actually, we all know very well that once the other party orders the landing, it will completely force us to a dead end,
In the case of a desperate blow. The other party will inevitably suffer a lot of losses, and it is precisely because of this consideration that the other party will ask for such conditions, but this also just shows that what the other party wants is not us, but this island, if it is the Imperial Navy that comes this time, under the Imperial Navy's habitual killing policy of chickens and dogs, everyone will fight to the death even if they know that they will die. But the other party is not the Imperial Navy, there is no need for us to accompany the Normans in the funeral, they should solve the trouble they have caused themselves" "No, you can't decide!" Viscount Michael looked at the shaky faces around him, and his face suddenly turned pale,
He screamed loudly with all his might, "Don't forget, this is less than half a day's flight from the coastline of the Duchy! As soon as the army of the principality arrives, it will surely order the destruction of this place.
Viscount Mikral sneered at the corner of his mouth, "You are not the navy of the Falcon Empire, your family. The belongings are here, you have nowhere to escape, and the other side is a naval expedition, so there is no solid foothold at all. The so-called attack is only a temporary strength, do you think so superficially that you are an enemy of the principality without roots? Is it more worthy of you short-sighted people to take refuge than a principality that occupies a large part of the land?"
"That's not bad, after all, the other party came across the sea, there is no territory, if we slap our butts and leave, what should we do?" There was a low discussion around him again, especially the seven pirates who lived according to it, and they were even more at a loss.
Roberio, who was sitting in the main seat, was also distressed, and he also thought of this, but the other party's attack was too strong, and if he didn't surrender, he would be ruined, and if he surrendered, he would suffer cruel revenge from the Normans, what a dilemma!
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the conference hall
"Get out of the way, I want to see Roberio!" came a faint staccato quarrel outside the door, as if someone was trying to force their way in
"What's going on? who's in charge out there?"
Roberio looked at a leader under him with a dissatisfied expression, it was a dark-skinned, thin-looking middle-aged man, with prominent cheekbones and a face like a monkey, but no one dared to underestimate this monkey in this sea area, this person's name is Zabilie, he is a Gangfei person, because of his fierce style, he is known as a sea monkey, he is in the seven pirates, second only to Roberio, and today it happens that his person is in charge of guarding outside
"I'll go out and have a look!" Under Roberio's gaze, Zabile stood up from his seat and walked out the door, and walked in after a while, his face strange and a little hesitant
"What's wrong? Who's out there?"
Roberio turned his head, his eyes were tinged with a faint chill, and a solemn aura made everyone nearby dare not make a sound, the momentum of the pirate boss was not empty, it was tempered by how many times the bloody wind had been tempered
"You must not have imagined that it is our old friend, Rul Sri Land in the waters of Antoros!" Zabile shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, he said, "I really didn't expect that the negotiator sent by the other side this time would be him!" "How is it possible, a pirate to be the negotiator of the regular navy?" "It's incredible!"
In the minds of everyone, pirates and regular armies have always been the place of death, this is a custom cultivated by thousands of years of bloody and bloody wind, pirates plundered merchant ships, and the regular army killed pirates, the two sides are the relationship between cats and mice, and now a mouse has become the messenger of the cat, how not to make everyone feel extremely surprised, "He sued me, he is not a pirate now, he is a regular navy! Zabilie said with a gloomy expression, a mixture of envy and hatred rose on his face, making his emaciated cheekbones even more hideous, his gaze swept over the astonished crowd around him, and continued, "And he also brought a very surprising news, in the waters of Antorus, the Falcon Navy defeated Merendi, one of the Admirals of the Empire's three fleets, and has completely controlled the port of Antoros!"
"What are you talking about, the Antolus Sea has been controlled by the Falcon Empire, and the Merendi fleet is also ......" This news, like a hurricane that shook everyone's minds, the central position of the Antolus Sea in the open sea is self-evident, opening Antolus is equivalent to opening the Empire's coastal defense line, and there is a distance from "Merondi, one of the Admirals of the Empire's three major fleets, was defeated!" Even Roberio could not hide his horror and stood up,
His gaze swept over the billowing smoke rising from the harbor outside the window, and he suddenly felt a shivering chill,
At this moment, he finally knew what had happened to him, and the bitter taste spread at the corners of his mouth,
I was actually involved in this kind of war between countries, this whirlpool is too big, and the slightest carelessness will be devoured to pieces, no matter whether you advance or retreat, you have no room for self-choice! )
