Pirate's Path of Destiny

The cold sea breeze roared wantonly, picking up some sea water and slapping everyone's faces.

Dark clouds were still rolling in the sky, and from time to time, silver snakes flashed between the black clouds, and rumbling sounds came from the horizon.

It seemed that the atmosphere on the scene was a bit depressing. The navy officers stationed on the shore stood up straight, their arms trembling a little, and they clenched the flintlock guns in their hands tightly.

These navy recruits are the new wave of recruits recruited by the 153rd branch of the navy not long ago. This is the first time in their lives that they have gone to the battlefield and faced pirates.

Although they are new recruits, it does not mean that they have no combat effectiveness. At least from Will's perspective, the navy deployed on the shore is still very intimidating.

On the other hand, the pirates are a bit mixed.

The pirates on the pirate ship were all disheveled, and most of the weapons in their hands were inferior products that had been eliminated.

Many of them came from various towns in the East China Sea. They either lost their homes due to pirate attacks, or fled to the sea because of oppression.

In the cruel world, these former civilians had to take up arms and go to the sea, and started a business of killing and stealing goods in order to survive.

The pirate ship is getting closer and closer to the shore of the port, and it is also gradually approaching the range of the naval artillery.

Will didn't know why Copper Horn Jim chose to attack from the port with great fanfare during the day. This was undoubtedly a very dangerous choice.

The attack was discovered in advance, the navy was well positioned, and the artillery was set up. These are all fatal factors that may cause the attack to fail.

Before Will could think about it, the sound of a gunfire came from the front, and a huge splash of water rose in the sea next to the ship.

"attack"

Following Captain Jim's roar, the pirate group became completely restless.

A large number of impatient pirates picked up their swords and guns, jumped into the water before the pirate ship could reach the shore, and swam towards the shore.

Although the sound of gunfire was frequent, the pirate ship still reached the shore intact.

Will climbed over the railing of the ship, jumped off the pirate ship, stepped on the solid ground with his feet, and looked up to observe the situation on the battlefield.

Although the number of people on both sides of the war was not large, the situation on the battlefield was also very fierce.

The first batch of pirates who jumped off the boat and swam ashore suffered heavy losses. Most of them were new pirates and had never experienced combat.

The howling sea wind and surging waves will not give any preferential treatment to anyone. Many pirates were swallowed by the waves on their way to the shore.

Although the navy stationed on the shore can't do anything to the tall pirate ships, the pirates who jump into the water are a living target.

The sea surface was dyed red with blood, and with its back to the rough waves, the vanguard of the Copper Horn Pirate Ship finally started fighting with the navy.

A marine raised his flintlock gun and aimed it at the charging pirates.

There was a gunshot, and a pirate who was rushing towards the river responded to the end, but more pirates surged up from behind.

The equipment gap between the two sides is huge, and the gap in numbers is also huge. The navy cannot all resist the invading pirates.

The situation on the field was anxious, and everyone's attention was focused on the battlefield of fighting on the shore.

Will found Jino who had gotten off the boat, and the two secretly ran along the shore toward the mountains in the distance.

It would undoubtedly be unwise to confront the navy head-on. No one knew him or Jino anyway, so they could get by by pretending to be civilians.

As time went by, the first wave of navy pirates encountered had been almost exhausted. At this time, the navy veterans had just assembled and arrived belatedly.

Captain Copper Horn Jim, his first mate, and a large group of his cronies have also assembled.

Most of these people are old pirates who followed Jim before the Copper Horn Pirates were established. Their previous names are unknown, but now they have a new banner.

As the first mate charged with his sword, a large number of pirates came into contact with the approaching 153rd branch navy. Both sides waved their weapons and tried hard to chop at each other's weapons. The situation on the field looked very anxious.

At this moment, Will and Gino had already slipped out for a long time. They ran along the shore into the woods on the edge of the port, and were almost on the mountainside.

As the height increases, the view that was originally blocked by trees also broadens.

"Will, wait a minute, something seems wrong over there."

The attentive Gino stopped the advancing Will and pointed to the battlefield at the rear port.

Will looked in the direction of Jino's finger and found that the battle in the port looked a bit strange.

Both sides of the pirate navy fought with long knives and other weapons, and the sounds of banging and banging blows came one after another.

However, no one from either side of the war fell down. Only a few injured people retreated to the rear, and another person immediately took over, continuing the anxiety on the battlefield.

There was indeed a river of blood on the ground at the port, but it was basically the blood of the pirate pioneers and navy recruits who had been killed and injured before.

The later navy pirates just stepped on their corpses and fought "passionately".

Suddenly, there seemed to be a faint sound in the small town, as if the navy who received the signal began to feel "failed", and then retreated steadily.

The pirates shouted excitedly and chased the "defeated" navy towards the town.

Will couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this scene.

"Did Jim collude with the navy in this town? This is a show. No wonder they choose some inexperienced rookies when organizing the vanguard. It turns out they are going to die."

Will was a little surprised by the bottom line of Navy Branch 153 and the branch commander, but he didn't find it incredible.

He remembered that a similar drama happened in Cocoa West Village in the future. The navy connived at the pirates' plunder. After all, they also got a share of the pie in the end.

Gino on the other side couldn't react. He didn't understand why the navy, which was originally "evenly matched", would fight the pirates like this, and even let the pirates into the town. Isn't the navy the protector of civilians?

Also having this doubt was Reddy not far away. As a navy man who grew up in the headquarters, he had never seen such a scene.

After his parents died when he was a child, he was adopted by the Navy Headquarters.Under the influence of the propaganda of this department, pirates are unforgivable villains, and the navy is the patron saint of civilians all over the world.

Reddy suddenly felt that he had been deceived and couldn't help but wonder if Rice, the leader of Branch 153, was a pirate in disguise.

He turned his head, widened his red eyes, and angrily asked the navy officers arranged by Rice behind him what was going on.

The following navy's eyes were a little evasive, and they all lowered their heads and said nothing, as if they acquiesced to what Reddy thought.

At this time, a navy report suddenly came from a distance.

"Two pirates spotted ahead"
