Chapter 808: On the Eve of the Storm (6) (Ask for a Recommendation Ticket!Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
"Don't be afraid of the former, slash!"
Although the armed team of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce has lost its captain, the captains of each squad are still there. Faced with the shelling of the Joms pirate ship, they decisively gave the order to attack.
โโโโ
As a few heads fell to the ground, those soldiers who were frightened by the shelling immediately lifted their spirits as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Then, with all his might, rush to the berth of the ship.
Originally, in order to sneak up on the ship, they prepared some rope ladders with hooks. But now, the sneak attack turned into a strong attack, and the armed team immediately changed to new climbing tools.
They found some knotted gangways in the harbor: they were ladders made by carpenters who cut down thick trees, stripped off the tendons, sawn thick boards, and then bundled them in sections.
In addition, there are others who have found the slide rod that is used when loading and unloading cargo, and they want to cross the distance of more than a dozen yards by running and pole vaulting, and climb onto the deck at once.
Both methods worked.
After all, they were at least three times more numerous than the Yoms pirates. Fighting on ships anchored in the harbor was a different matter from fighting at sea, and the Jomes were not very good at naval warfare.
"Stand back to back, get them off the boat!" shouted the first mate, standing at the top of the stern, as he asked a helper to load himself with gunpowder, and while he picked up an arquebus himself, aimed it at a crowded place and fired a shot.
All of a sudden, the deck was overturned.
"What's going on with that guy?" Namen looked out of the captain's room to the deck, dropping the ceramic cup he used to drink milk tea and accurately hitting a Trade Winds Chamber of Commerce warrior who was trying to sneak up on the Joms pirates.
The ceramic cup smashed on the man's head with a "snap", causing a wail, but it was soon muffled by the increasingly fierce fighting.
"Sharpen your moves, aim a little more accurately, and hold your gun a little steady," Namen turned his head and shouted at the first mate and his two helpers on the roof of the stern.
Immediately, Namen jumped out of the captain's room window with his tomahawk and landed heavily on the deck. He didn't have the same standard half-body plate armor as the rest of the crew, but he did wear a patterned brawling shield.
With a lot of shouts in his mouth, this guy disguised as a Leviathan contract demon perfectly mimics the traditional battle cry of the Joms pirates. Waving his shield, he walked on the side of the ship, leaving himself undefended.
All the armed members of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce who were hit by his shield were like fallen leaves swept up by the wind, and one fell on the deck. Then Namen would rise and fall with an axe, giving the fallen one a pleasure.
"Bu ~ Zark!"
Namen shouted wildly, causing many crew members to respond.
One by one, they seemed to be incarnated into angry wolves. The sword fight against each other as if they could no longer fully display their fighting passion, and they punched, kicked, gnawed their teeth, and pushed their shoulders to the extremeโjust to inflict more damage on those enemies.
The bloody battle that broke out on the deck not only stunned those armed men of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce, but also completely fell into the eyes of the owners and seamen of several nearby merchant ships.
"Those guys are definitely Jomus pirates, and among them are Jomus Berserkers!" Some of the shipowners who have been on the sea for many years are very knowledgeable, and they can "see" through the details of Nammon at a glance.
And the news that "Joms pirates attacked the port of Xihai Town" was also quickly sent to Seengar. The head of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce immediately sent back a new order.
"At all costs, we must wipe out this gang of bandits in the harbor anchorage, and not let them flow into Xihai Town. โ
If those Joms pirates were allowed into the city, this year's Inventory Day celebration would probably be directly disrupted. The Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce has lost face in front of the merchants and travelers who come and go from the south to the north, and everyone may have doubts about the safety of Xihai Town in the future.
Not to mention, according to information obtained by Seengar, the Joms pirates may also have something to do with the "big news" of the first two days of King's Landing. If the matter of their ships anchored in Xihai Town is detected by the Scales Chamber of Commerce of the Eternal Order, the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce will not talk about repairing trade relations with King's Landing, and it will be blessed by the ancestors if they are not under the city.
"So those Joms pirates must die," Sengar muttered, looking at the trade representatives looking at each other, "at any cost, this trouble must be cleared as soon as possible." โ
Along with the order of the head of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce, there were thirteen warriors in stalwart clothes and two storm attendants. The former were powerful samurai raised by their families, while the latter were priests who worshipped the gods of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce.
By this time, the deck of Namen's ship had just been cleaned. The cunning Leviathan Pact Demon had already figured out the trick, and he ordered the crew to hoist their sails as soon as possible and pretend to escape from the harbor berth.
This ruse deceived the raiders of the Trade Winds Chamber of Commerce, and the two storm attendants hurriedly recited the prayer. They cast their magic spells on the sails raised by the ship, summoning a fierce wind to blow it toward the shore.
The remaining armed men, led by thirteen elite fighters, launched another surprise attack on the ships.
This time, their attack was not just in a small area of the port anchorage. In order to be able to take down this group of Yoms pirates as soon as possible, they requisitioned the sea ships on the two nearby berths in the name of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce. They had the owners of the two ships close to Namen's ship, while the armed forces of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce would flank him from the sides.
"Minor problem," Namen looked at the somewhat panicked crew members, and somehow took out another tin cup, sipping the rum he had received from the first mate's flask, "now...... All of them...... Go to the lower deck and assemble, hurry up, get moving!"
Soon, the armed team of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce crowded the top deck, and they gathered in front of the door to enter the stern. Because the door had been nailed shut, and there were several large vats of bacon and flour piled up behind it, it was difficult to break through from the outside for a while.
The Joms pirates on board had gathered on the lower deck as ordered, each of them clenching their weapons and muttering to themselves what the captain was up to.
"You fat clown, you stink like a pig's head. Run under the moonlight and jump into the muddy ditch. Humming a joms-hail ballad, Namenschran was the last to reach the lower deck, "Everyone opens their mouths and covers their ears, and ......," he said slyly, "...... Be careful for a moment and don't bite your tongue. โ
With that, Namen took the torch from the first mate's hand. In front of everyone, he single-handedly removed two ballast stones, and pulled out a cable wrapped in thick oiled paper from between them.
After two "brushes", he neatly tore off the layer of oiled paper, and then pressed the well-protected inner core with the torch in his hand. The core hissed, and a few of the crew members who were good at fiddling with arquebuses immediately realized what it was.
