Chapter 19 The Battle of Bassa Island

North of the Shimmering Sea, Bassa Island.

The island is still so warm in early winter, and has not been greatly affected by seasonal changes. The pirates stationed here still keep the lightest and coolest clothes.

Well, to be precise, they either only wear thin vests, or simply bare their upper body, showing their lush chest hair for others to appreciate.

As a medium-sized pirate leader in the Moore Pirates, Captain Duke was elected as the interim leader of Bassa Island. Supplies are exhausted.

But there are still advantages, at least he can get a part of whatever good things the pirates on the island grab.

However, the joy of sharing benefits cannot completely dilute the troubles of mediating conflicts among pirates.At this time, he was standing in front of the thatched hut, looking helplessly at those colleagues who were obviously divided into two factions. These people had conflicts all day long because of some trivial matters, and today they actually drew their swords at each other over a roast chicken, almost making trouble Killed.

"Ahem..." Duke coughed a few times, turned his gaze to a wounded man who was supported by his companions, and opened his mouth to say something, but unexpectedly, the sound of killing from the stronghold port interrupted his words.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"We were attacked!"

The shouts of killing from the port shocked all the pirates in the stronghold. They reacted quickly after falling into chaos, abandoned their previous suspicions, took up weapons and rushed to the place where the fighting broke out.

On the other hand, the descendants of the Vikings who launched a raid on Basa Island in the dark have successfully defeated the weak guards in the port. They brutally chopped off the guards' heads and limbs with the terrifying battle axes, and bathed themselves in blood rain. among.

The battle at the port ended quickly. In just a few minutes, more than 100 sailors and 110 two Viking raiders carried by three Viking longships wiped out all the enemies and took control of this area.

Then, their commander Sigurd ordered the attack again, and more than two hundred Viking soldiers ran along the exit to the stronghold established not far from the port.

As descendants of Viking pirates, Sigurd and his compatriots can be described as ferocious beasts. The terrifying tomahawk swings fiercely in Sigurd's hands, and it can almost be chopped off every time. The limbs of the rebels and the small round shields in the hands of pirates are like paper and cannot provide effective protection at all.

Just a face-to-face meeting, the Moor pirates were turned upside down by the vicious Vikings, and they retreated in a row. No matter how loud the little bosses shouted, they were unwilling to continue fighting, turned around and ran back to the original direction.

This is the habit of all pirates. When encountering soft persimmons, they can display their full combat effectiveness and turn into the most ferocious beasts.But when encountering an enemy stronger than them, they turned into docile sheep, screaming in terror and fleeing in all directions.

"Attack! By God Odin, kill them all!"

Sigurd roared loudly, yes, he was one of the most common people who still believed in Norse polytheism in the Danish Kingdom in the early Middle Ages, not only him, but almost all Danes who came to this different world believed in the god Odin of.

The belief in Odin inspired these descendants of the Vikings to fight bloody battles. They roared and raised their axes to chase the pirates until they reached the gate of the stronghold. With the rout soldiers fled into the stronghold.

"Who are you, why are you attacking our Moore Pirates!"

Captain Duke, who was standing behind the fence of the stronghold, questioned loudly, but he didn't get a response. The enemies outside holding tomahawks and round shields just gathered slowly and noisyly, which made Captain Duke feel that he was being contemptuous and insulted.

This is actually wronging Sigurd and the Danish soldiers. They have almost no contact with the natives of the other world after they came to this world not long ago, let alone expect them to understand the language of this world.

Sigurd outside the stronghold just looked blankly at what the other party was shouting, no matter how he listened, he couldn't understand the meaning of the shouting.In the end, Sigurd gave up listening to the opponent's call and chose to attack.

"Attack! Bloodbath this stronghold!"

Sigurd yelled sharply, and then took the lead in the charge, holding his broad buckler high to protect his upper body, as did the Viking raiders under his command.

The thin and low wooden fence could not stop the vicious Vikings from attacking. They braved the attack of the pirates' javelins and arrows and rushed to the front of the wooden fence. Immediately afterwards, these Viking soldiers threw their hand axes at the same time, sharp The terrifying handaxe rolled several times in the air, over the fence and fell into the crowd.

In the next second, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams and wailing of the dying people echoed over the entire stronghold!

Unlike arrows and javelins, the handaxe thrown by the Vikings has a shorter range, but relatively, the damage of the handaxe is even more terrifying. Even armor with high defense power cannot block the close-range attack of the throwing axe. Not to mention these pirates who have almost no armor protection.

Sigurd, who threw the throwing axe, saw with his own eyes that an unlucky pirate was accurately hit on the forehead by a throwing axe, and his sky cap was instantly lifted, and the smelly brains inside immediately splashed out and sprinkled on the people around him.

The pirates who were attacked by a round of throwing axes were suddenly in a panic, and the tragic death of their companions around them made them fearful. At this time, the Viking with a thick beard climbed over the low wooden fence and rushed directly into the crowd, causing a stir. It rained blood all over the sky.

In the chaotic stronghold, Sigurd raised his battle ax high, and slashed heavily at the enemy in front of him. The heavy and sharp blade of the ax actually split the short pirate from head to crotch, splitting it in two. Half the time, the poor pirate lost his life before he even let out a scream.After hacking an enemy to death, Sigurd, who was almost blood-stained, roared loudly, charged up his hands, and slashed hard at the neck of a pirate whose back was facing him, and a big head flew up. The blood sprayed from the cross section between the heads was several meters high...

"Surrender! We surrender!"

Finally, during the almost one-sided massacre by the Vikings, the pirates couldn't bear the huge casualties, crying and begging to surrender, perhaps seeing that the enemy might not understand their language, these pirates were very smart to let go Weapon, knelt on the ground, indicating that he had no intention of resisting.

With the last of the resisting pirates laying down their weapons and begging for mercy, the nighttime raid came to an end.Next, it was time for the Vikings to start carnival for the victory.
