Chapter 119: Dead or Alive

It was already approaching dusk, and the thick dark clouds rolling in the sky seemed to be so low that they were pressing down on the ground, and the sky was so overcast that there was no light.

On the rocky beach of Alcatraz Island, a group of people fought together, bleeding and pestles, and the sound of killing was shocking.

A bonfire was lit in a stone cave less than 300 meters from the beach on the west side of Alcatraz, and many people sat around their campfires, silent.

William sat on a boulder, holding a serrated axe in one hand and a greased cloth in the other, wiping it back and forth on the surface of the axe.

From time to time he stood up and looked up to look outside the cave, and from time to time he sat down and continued to wipe the axe in his hand with a gloomy face.

Next to him, is Lilith with the "Blue of Awe" in her hand, this little girl sits on a stone with her eyes closed, meditating, she is desperately gathering the magic in her body, ready to be at the disposal of war.

On weekdays, the elderly, women and children live together, they wear the most rudimentary clothes, most of the men are even naked, and most of the women are bare-chested, even if they feed their children breast milk in front of outsiders, they have no shame at all.

The Dada tribe is a very backward primitive tribe in the southern continent, they live in the deepest dense jungle in the southern continent all year round, and live by fishing and hunting all year round.

They don't know how to fight, they don't know magic, they don't even believe in any of the gods of the sky, the earth, the sea, or the supreme god of light, these Dada, who live in the jungle, only believe in Yuna, the goddess of chaos, and derive powerful witchcraft powers from this power of faith.

But when the southern fleet of the Pound Empire arrived in this land with powerful legions and powerful magicians, the Dadas, who lived deep in the jungle, were driven out of their homes by the invaders.

Since leaving their lands, they have been unable to draw witchcraft power from Yuna, the goddess of chaos, but even so, the Dada's faith has never wavered.

In another cave not far from the elders and witch doctors, squatted nearly two hundred powerful Dadas, mostly men, who had been driven back to their quarters by Nia at the beginning of the battle, and were guarded by them.

This is the group of people who are most reassuring to Nia.

This group of people is very docile on weekdays, they are silent, and they can feed with the least amount of food, but they work more diligently and harder than oxen.

But once these people are mobilized, they will turn into a group of dark-skinned devils, even if there is an abyss of hell in front of them, they will rush through without fear of death!

On this island, there are only two people who can command these people.

One is Captain Tang Jie, and the other is the patriarch of the Dada tribe.

The patriarch of the Dada tribe was a scrawny, diminutive old man with sleazed yellow hair that was almost gone, and wrinkles on his face as deep as the storm-beaten rocks of the sea.

He closed his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't hear the shouts and killings coming from outside the cave, and more like he couldn't see William's appearance in front of him, which seemed to be calm, but was actually anxious.

William really couldn't bear it.

The shouts of killing outside were getting closer, and William could even smell the smell of blood wafting in the air.

As a powerful soldier of the pirates, he could not bear the fact that he could not go into battle to kill the enemy, so he could only sit here and wait.

Nia didn't dare to let these Dadans take up arms and join the battlefield, she was afraid that in Tang Jie's absence, the patriarch would give an order and order his people to cut off their heads and ask for merit from Alam.

But in the current situation, with the power of pirates alone, it is impossible to repel these landing Sisian navies.

Nia knew this, William knew this, and the patriarch of the Dada tribe knew this.

"Are you going to sit here like this and watch your companions die?". The patriarch suddenly opened his eyes and asked slowly.

William's heart was furious when he asked, he glared at the patriarch, did not speak, just stood up anxiously, and looked in the direction from which the shouts of killing came from outside the stone cave.

"Young man, Kedy Ogulald is talking to you, please answer him!" said the patriarch in a low voice.

William took a deep breath and said angrily, "What do you want to say? Ogulald! I'm in a bad mood right now, please don't mess with me!"

William's vicious attitude caused the witch doctor and elders next to the patriarch to stand up and look at him with hostility one by one.

Agourald waved his hand at them and motioned for them to sit down: "Young man, I think the situation is clear now, you need our help! For the sake of Yuna, the goddess of chaos, why would you refuse our friendly helping hand?"

William looked at the unkind Dada people next to Ogulald and sneered: "Look at the eyes around you, you will know why!"

The Dadas and pirates on Alcatraz were mostly hostile to each other, and the pirates found the slaves to be dirty, stupid, and shameless, and as lowly as pigs and dogs, who could copulate and nurse in broad daylight.

The Dadas, on the other hand, were also hostile to these pirates.

Because these pirates were also considered to be members of the Pound Empire, and in the eyes of the Dadas, these pirates looked mostly the same as the invaders who invaded their homeland.

These two people who are hostile to each other are subordinate to the same person, Tang Jie.

When Tang Jie was there, this contradiction was almost invisible, but when Tang Jie was away, this contradiction became more and more acute.

"I know what you mean, my child!" said Ogurald, who opened his eyes, staring straight at William with a pair of yellow, cloudy eyes, "but, in the face of a common enemy, don't you think we should put aside our prejudices against each other together, and then fight together?"

William was silent, his hand holding the hatchet white.

Ogulald stood up, and he pointed to the gloomy sky outside the cave: "The dark clouds in the distance bring the clarion call of war, the murderous enemy has violated our common home, we should stand shoulder to shoulder and fight the evil enemy together, instead of flashing each other's weapons and turning hostile to each other!"

William remained silent, although he was rough on the outside, he was quite delicate on the inside.

He knew that Nia's scruples weren't just because she had been betrayed by her father, Captain Barr, so she didn't trust anyone anymore.

In fact, Nia was afraid that the people of the Dada tribe would demand more power and benefits from them by participating in the war at this critical juncture.

Tang Jie was not there, and Nia didn't dare to be the master.

Tang Jie dared to command this group of powerful slaves, but Nia didn't dare.

William looked at the outside of the stone cave, anxious, and Ogulald next to him sighed slowly, and said: "Survive or destroy?

This sentence touched William.

Yes, the eyebrows are already burning, why are we still worried about the future?

If you die now, there will be no later!

What's more, with Lilith pressing the formation, how dare the Dada tribe betray?

William stared at Ogulald meaningfully, then bent down deeply and said, "On behalf of our captain Tang Jie and First Mate Nia, I only ask for support from the respected Dada tribal patriarch Kaidi Ogulald!"

Ogulald nodded slowly, he grabbed a wooden staff beside him, then raised it, and said to the elders beside him: "Go, bring this news to our children, let them take up the weapons in their hands, and fight with these brave and noble friends until they repel these evil enemies!"

......

Nya was right, Alam Shea had indeed written down the distribution of reefs on the western beach of Alcatraz, and the commander had drawn the charts with his excellent memory and handed them over to the captains of each ship.

After the bombardment, the two warships of the Second Coastal Guard, which slowly sailed out, successfully avoided the reef and then stopped at a distance of more than 30 meters from the beach.

The makeshift harbor that the pirates had built on the beach was also dismantled, and the Sithian Navy had to lay down one paddle boat after another, and then each boat carrying ten soldiers poured towards Alcatraz Island in batches.

In the beginning, the pirates were able to entangle with the landing navy for a while.

Wielding their scimitars and hatchets, they pulled off the sailors before they could disembark, and then slashed them to death in the sea, letting their blood soak the turquoise sea.

But in this way, there was only time to strike the soldiers in the first round, and soon the soldiers who came in echelons came up like a tide, and the pirates and soldiers were strangled together.

Before Nia could lead the pirates to kill the soldiers who had jumped off the ship, a third wave of soldiers arrived.

The beach on the west side of the sea was so crowded with paddle boats that later soldiers had no place to land, so they had to jump off the boat when they were still a dozen meters away from the beach and swam up with heavy equipment.

The soldiers wore red and white woolen uniforms, straight-leg cowhide boots on their feet, and carried a finger-wide one-handed sword at their waists. Some of them had even dragged their heavy footsteps ashore when they were immediately struck to death by the roaring pirates.

Most of these pirates were shirtless, wearing a pair of single pants, and they were very agile and agile, in stark contrast to the clumsy appearance of the naval soldiers.

In the beginning, the pirates fought more and fought less, and the sea was littered with floating corpses of soldiers.

But with the continuous influx of the second, third, and fourth waves of soldiers, more and more soldiers gathered on the coast, and the pirates began to slowly retreat like a bent bowstring.

Alam Shei just wanted to use this crowd tactic to kill the pirates on Alcatraz Island alive, he was not afraid of how many soldiers his soldiers sacrificed, all he wanted was the number of heads on the other side.

When Nia watched the pirates around her fall one by one, she found that the whole battle situation had reached the most critical moment, and the battle line had been severely dented by the soldiers who broke through, and there was a danger of collapse at any time!

Nia thought almost desperately: Do you really have to let Lilith do it?

Nia looked farther along the coast, only to see that the two warships that had sailed into the harbor on the west side had finished letting go of the last small boat and began to slowly retreat, but Bill, who was in charge of the shelling on the hills on either side, did not move.

The rocky western beach was crowded with more than 400 naval officers and more than 200 pirates, screaming loudly, waving their weapons, glaring, gritting their teeth, desperately trying to kill the enemy in front of them.

With the withdrawal of these two warships, the number of naval officers and sailors on the beach ceased to increase for the time being, and the pressure on the pirates finally ceased to increase, and the precarious battle line stabilized.

Under Nia's leadership, the pirates roared and began a counteroffensive on the battle line, the dented front began to be re-leveled, and the naval officers and men began to die in large numbers.

The officer with his coat of arms on his shoulder brandished his sword and loudly encouraged the soldiers around him to hold on, hold on a little longer, and reinforcements would arrive soon.

Nia roared loudly, encouraging the pirates around her to drive the soldiers into the sea before the next wave of attacks arrived!

The soldiers who rushed to land on the beach were compressed into one round ball after another, and they leaned on each other, desperately resisting, and the formation that these soldiers trained on weekdays played an important role at this critical time.

The more courageous the pirates found that when the soldiers were grouped, they were like hedgehogs, and it was difficult to find obvious flaws.

Under the tough resistance of the soldiers, the pirates gradually became unable to attack.

The other two warships, laden with soldiers, gradually sailed into the bay on the west side.

When Nia saw the first boat being lowered by the battleship, she finally couldn't help but rant loudly, "What is this bastard Bill doing!!Sink them for me, no matter how much it costs!!"

When the officers and men with swords in their hands sat in small boats and began to approach the sea quickly, another wave of tidal cascade attacks began.

Nia watched the red and white soldiers on the sea rush in groups, and her hands and feet were cold.

Soon, however, she spotted a whizz of wooden spears flying over their heads in the air, and then landed in the midst of the gathered soldiers.

The spears pierced the soldiers like a raging storm, and in a single blow, dozens more corpses were found on the beach.

Nia turned her head in surprise, only to see the poorly dressed Dada, holding several sharpened spears, quickly joining the battlefield.

"What's going on?Who let them come!!" Nia, shocked and angry, turned around and looked around for William's figure, in her opinion, it must be that William did not unswervingly carry out her orders, "William, William, you bastard, where are you!!"

"First mate Nia, I'm here!" William slashed an axe at a soldier who tried to attack her from behind, grinning at Nia, he held it for a long time, and finally vented the suffocation in his chest in the axe just now.

"What's the matter with you!!" Nia didn't accept this at all, she glared at William angrily, "I said, you must not let them join the battlefield until the last minute!"

William pulled out the short axe embedded deep in the soldier's sternum, spurting blood and splashing his face with scarlet, and he said in a heavy tone: "Nia, it's the last moment now! If Bill can't sink these two ships smoothly, you'll have to let Lilith take action! Forget the unrealistic idea of taking the initiative to attack and turn the tide! We are now on the verge of life and death!"

Before Nia could speak, a group of fierce Dadas rushed around her.

Most of these dark-skinned black slaves wore a short cloth around their waists to cover their nakedness, and when they ran rapidly, their black majesty would sway clearly and clearly.

After a burst of running, these Dadas, who had no sense of integrity, shook their spear-holding arms vigorously, let out a "hey" shout in unison, and once again completed a round of flying spear strikes.

This time, the target of their attack was the soldiers who had rowed on the sea.

The soldiers on board were suddenly hit by this terrible long-range blow, and many of them were shot overboard, and the ship capsized.

This spear is a weapon used by the Dada tribe to defend themselves, and they have sharpened a wooden pole the thickness of a small arm, and then sharpened one end to make the most rudimentary killing weapon.

But even this most rudimentary weapon, after they were thrown out by the Dada's formation of dense force, immediately dealt a heavy blow to the naval soldiers of Sisis.

The addition of the Dada tribe was like a stimulant shot into the pirates, who roared and slaughtered the demoralized soldiers with their most despised black slaves.

The spears of the Dada tribe rained down on the soldiers gathered on the shore, scattering them, and the pirates rushed into them like ferocious wolves, tearing a gap in their formation, and then driving them away, leaving them alone until they were brutally killed.

Although Nia was very unhappy to see the Dadas in battle, she had to admit that what William said was not wrong at all: now that he was on the verge of life and death, he couldn't care so much.

Nia pulled one of the pirates next to her and yelled, "Go to the cliff on the west side and ask Bill a word!"

"What's that, my lord?" the pirate asked aloud.

"You ask him, 'Is he still alive?, if he is still alive, he will quickly kill these two ships!!, I don't care what method he uses!!" Nia hissed.

"Yes, my lord!" the pirate pulled his legs and ran up the cliff to the west.

As the heavy hand-to-hand fighting unfolded on the beach, the shelling of the Sisis Coastal Guard was basically over, and even the suppressed shelling of the cliffs on both sides was no longer carried out.

Because it was difficult to control the accuracy of this kind of cannon at sea, the Sissian navy was afraid that they would sink their battleship with one shot.

After the shelling stopped, Bill's place was as quiet as paradise compared to the fierce fighting on the beach.

Bill looked down from the cliff and saw two warships floating on the sea below them, and as long as he could set up the cannons, he could condescendingly bully them.

As long as this kind of battleship does not have time to turn the bow, they have no room to fight back, and the cannons in the cabin facing the cliff cannot hit the top of the mountain.

"Captain Bill, we only have one cannon, but there are two ships here, what should we do?" a pirate next to him looked at the sea sweatingly.

After the heavy bombardment of the cliff, Bill returned to the west cliff and found that two of the three cannons had been hit and destroyed, and only one was left intact.

Bill clenched his fists, his forehead covered with fine sweat, and although he did not participate in the fierce hand-to-hand combat, he was under no less pressure than anyone else.

The shouts of killing under the cliff urged him like a talisman.

Bill knew that every minute more he could delay here would kill one more companion below.

He looked at the two warships below fixedly, and he was anxious, but there was no way to do it.

Just like the pirate next to him asked, one cannon hits two warships, which one will hit first?

"Captain Bill!!"

Bill was anxiously hesitating when he heard a shout not far away.

One of the pirates rushed up to him and panted and said, "First mate Nia asked me to bring you a message!"

"What?" asked Bill.

"She said, 'Are you still alive?' and if you are alive, get rid of these two ships quickly!!' I don't care what he does!!" the pirate repeated Nia's words.

Bill's eyes flickered, he gritted his teeth, and slapped the cannon cannon beside him: "No matter! Listen to my order, the gunpowder is three points, the muzzle of the cannon is thirty-five degrees, and the cannon is ready to fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several pirates around him immediately became busy, one pirate carefully pried open the powder keg, and then poured three points of gunpowder into the barrel, while the other pirates vigorously adjusted the angle of the muzzle by raising the barrel of the gun.

The 800-pound breech-loading gun sat on its back in a pit, and the tail of the gun body was fixed in a deep pit to resist the strong recoil generated by the shelling, and the cold muzzle was murderous under the gloomy sky.

"Captain Bill, you're all set!" the busy pirate shouted to Bill.

Bill snatched the fire breaker from the hand of one of the pirates next to him, lit the fuse on the cannon, and waited nervously and anxiously for the results of the shelling.

With a "boom", the first shelling from Alcatraz finally sounded......
