Chapter 24 Pirate Landing
Let's take a look at Richard's current military strength.

The elite heavy cavalry, known as medieval tanks, and the early general guards were always loyal to protect Richard's safety.

112 heavily armored sergeants, 112 town militiamen and 60 elite Winster Kingdom Guards will be the main force to meet the enemy. The fierce and fearless Viking raiders may be able to rely on their battle axes to give the pirates a head-on blow.

90 crossbow-bearing militiamen with crossbow bolts can provide fire support for Paoze. It is believed that the Moorish pirates who are only assembled by mobs will not have a large-scale archer force.

These are only ground units. Richard also owns three dragon head warships carrying more than a hundred Viking sailors and more than two hundred sailors recruited from Bell Harbor who have not yet been on the battlefield, although these sailors have only received preliminary military training. I haven't really seen blood in training, but I can still barely cope with it.

From this point of view, there are a total of 830 soldiers in Richard's hands, and the Moor pirates who attacked this time are about 1000, only more than 200 more-Richard is not afraid. In the game, battles where the enemy's army outnumbered ours by hundreds or thousands happened from time to time, but Richard could easily deal with it every time and win the final victory.

……

On February 1105, 2 in the continental calendar, in the Northern Shimmering Sea.

Nearly a hundred warships with black skull pirate flags are slowly sailing on the endless sea. This is already the eighth day since the Moore pirates set off, and they are only two or three days away from their destination, Kuban Island. .

In the center of this huge fleet is the flagship "Black Beauty" flying the leader's flag. This battleship has the most powerful combat power in the entire Moor pirate group. She is fully loaded with nearly [-] armed pirates and many rowing slaves. In naval battles, she will easily defeat any enemy ship that dares to engage in a board battle with her.In addition, she is also equipped with several ship-mounted trebuchets and ballistas, which are very rare among pirate forces-generally speaking, only the Royal Navy will have such a configuration.

Omar is the captain of the "Black Beauty" and also the head of the Moore Pirates. This is a tall and strong man. His skin has turned into a tough man's bronze color because of the sea breeze blowing all year round. The hideous scar on his right cheek made him even more terrifying.

As the leader of the pirate group, Omar knew about Lizzie's cemetery, which is why he immediately called on all the pirates under his command to avenge the Kingdom of Ravana after learning of the fall of Cuban Island—the place where King Lizzie was buried. The place is the holy place in the hearts of all pirates, and no one else should desecrate it!
"Grand regiment commander, the captains of the ships sent semaphores, asking you whether to divide the troops to attack the Kingdom of Ravana?"

A familiar voice sounded from the side, and Omar looked for it, and it turned out to be a messenger wearing a black turban.

"There is no need to divide the troops. Let's recover Cuban Island first, restore the stronghold there, and then attack the coastal areas of the Kingdom of Ravana." Omar seemed confident. He brought the main force of the Moore Pirates this time. A force, not to mention the recovery of Cuban Island, is more than enough to attack some weak island countries in the shining sea.

……

Two days later, on February 1105, 2 in the continental calendar, the pirate fleet arrived at the waters near Cuban Island. Looking at the island where King Lizzie was buried, the head of the pirate group, Omar, roared loudly and ordered the fleet forward to land quickly and seize the island. The port on the island supports the main force.

However, when the vanguard of the Beach Fleet entered the port, they were surprised to find that there was no one there, only rubbish and a few lonely houses left.

And the gauntlet stuck to the wall.

"Omar, the head of the Moore Pirates:

Your notoriety is known from as far away as Khitan to Ireland, may your bodily fluids rot in your body.

This is the most official letter of war. You have shamelessly invaded my fief and attempted to take her away. I will not give in easily.In the interior of the island, my people and I are ready to fight the invaders to the death. As long as you don't withdraw from Kuban Island, we will not stop resisting for a day.

I will be waiting for you on the walls of Nuremberg and watch you flee with my people.

Richard Stuart, Prince of Winster Kingdom and Earl of Cuban Island. "

"Khitan? Ireland? Where is that?" This was the first question Oma had after reading the gauntlet. Besides, this gauntlet seemed to him like a child unwilling to accept defeat. Stubbornly written things are not worth mentioning at all, the only thing that interests him is the string of identities at the end of the gauntlet.

"Why did the prince of the Kingdom of Winster come to be the earl of the Kingdom of Ravana?" With a contemptuous smile on her face, Omar tore up the letter of war in her hand, crumpled it up and threw it on the ground, "However, even if You are the prince of the Winster Kingdom, and there is no way to stop my determination to recover Kuban Island, and I can only blame you for bad luck."

Thinking about it, Omar turned around to look at his fierce and ruthless captains, and said loudly: "There is a poor prince from the Kingdom of Winster on this island, please don't let him scare him. The prince can get a good price."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and then laughed wildly together, full of malicious thoughts towards the little prince on the island.

Richard didn't know all this. At this time, he was standing on the two-meter-high wooden wall in Nuremberg, waiting nervously for news from the pirates. When he was about to see through, a knight finally rushed out of the forest and walked along the He rushed all the way to the bottom of the city wall along the rough dirt road, and without waiting for a rest, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the pirates have landed!"

"Finally landed!" Richard breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly raised it again, asking repeatedly: "How many of them are there?"

"The first batch of pirates who landed was 200 people. They were all light infantry, and none of them wore armor... The sea was full of pirate warships, and there were roughly a hundred warships in the past!"

"A hundred warships?" Richard was taken aback, and couldn't help but rejoice that he didn't foolishly let those warships go head-to-head with the pirates. Just the three Viking longships and the four ex-pirate warships, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to pieces as soon as I meet him.

But now, the pirates directly landed on the island, which is good news for Richard.He can use the terrain of Cuban Island to consume the pirates' strength step by step, or choose to set the decisive battle on the plains outside Nuremberg, and use the heavy cavalry known as cold weapon tanks to directly launch a devastating charge to destroy the morale of the pirates.

　I'm sorry... I mistyped a hundred warships, but there are actually not so many. I found that the mistake can't be corrected later, so I can only apologize here...
