Pirate's Path of Destiny

"Pirates are pirates, pirates are coming"

The originally peaceful port suddenly became chaotic. Street vendors hurriedly packed up the goods that could not be taken away and joined the noisy crowd of refugees.

With the bang of a cannon, a house on the street collapsed. Several pirate ships on the beach had not yet stopped. The pirates jumped off the ship impatiently, raised their scimitars, and rushed towards the frightened crowds and shops. .

In a tavern on the roadside, the tables and chairs were pushed to the ground casually. The customers here left in a hurry. A large number of expensive drinks of all kinds were smashed to the ground casually, and dark red liquor was flowing everywhere on the ground. , exuding a strong aroma of wine.A group of pirates kicked open the door of the tavern.

"Looks like we found a treasure trove"

The grinning pirate looked at the rum-filled counter in the tavern and the looming wine cellar deep in the back room, and the group couldn't help but become excited.

"The ship has been out of supplies for a long time. This batch of rum is enough for us to drink for a month."

"Boss, do you think Boss Berg will reward us for finding so much wine? It would be great if he rewarded us with gold coins like last time."

As he spoke, the little pirate wearing a turban seemed to think of the captain's treasure house and how he was swimming among gold coins, and drool flowed from the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

"Don't fantasize. Boss Berg has a mission this time. We just need to do our own thing."

Slapping the little pirate awake from his daydream, Sigbee, the leader of the group, passed over his men who were rummaging for money at the bar and came to the wine cellar in the back room.

The wine barrels in the wine cellar are arranged very neatly, and the tranquility here does not seem to be destroyed by the commotion outside.

Sigbee looked around the wine cellar and seemed to be very satisfied with the number of wine barrels here. When he was about to call his partners outside to come in and carry them, he suddenly saw a series of wet footprints on the ground that were almost invisible.

The corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, and he followed the series of wet footprints that were almost dry to the back room. The footprints continued intermittently and finally disappeared on the edge of the carpet.

Sigbee couldn't help laughing, and lifted up the ordinary-looking carpet, revealing the hidden entrance to the cellar underneath.

Opening the wooden door of the cellar and climbing down the ladder with a machete, it turned out that a trembling mother and daughter were hidden in the dark cellar.

Walking towards the mother and daughter huddled in the corner, they saw the beautiful face that could only be seen clearly because they got closer, and the face that looked pale because of fear.

Sigbee licked his dry lips, pointed a knife at the mother and daughter and laughed: "If it weren't for idiots like you who are unwilling to run away, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the long-lost woman every time I dock."

Just when the mother and daughter closed their eyes and were filled with despair, the sound of tables and cabinets overturning suddenly came from outside the cellar. A burst of gunshots made Sigby frown and look outside. He gave up on the mother and daughter in front of him and pulled out his gun. With the musket on his waist, he climbed out of the cellar cautiously.

"What happened?" Sigbee shouted, but no one answered.

When he walked out of the back room, the first thing he saw was the corpse of his companion who had rummaged through boxes and cabinets to collect money and wine. Blood flowed out from under his body and mixed with the dark red wine on the ground. The smell of blood and the aroma of wine mixed together to stimulate Sigby's desire. nasal cavity.

"Did you kill my companion?" Sigby touched his nose, looked at the only strong man standing in the entire tavern, and shouted angrily.

The strong man standing in the center of the tavern, wearing the armor of the city defense team, looked out the window at the blazing commercial street, and replied with a livid face: "Since you have the courage to come to the capital of Garcia to plunder, then you must be prepared to be attacked by me. Preparation for the Massacre"

It was Daru who said these words. As soon as the pirates attacked, the alarm sounded in the city.

Daru, who was on duty in the training camp, quickly put on the guard armor and prepared to organize the guards in the camp to go out to meet him.However, the elite guards of the previous generation had already been dragged to guard the palace. The new generation of guards in the battalion, who had been trained under the long-term peace, now showed only fear and chaos.

Most of them were children from wealthy families who were brought in by merchants in the city to make a living. They had never thought about actually going to the battlefield to resist the pirates. At this moment, they just wanted to hide in the palace like the civilians on the street.

Looking at the appearance of these new soldiers, Daru knew that there was no hope for them anymore. He ordered his adjutant to rectify the military discipline, and then led the few guards who still had fighting spirit to rush into the streets to resist the pirates.

When they arrived at the tavern, there were not many people around Daru. Most of them were scattered by the pirates in the battle. He ordered the remaining guards to guard the door, and Daru entered the tavern to punish the pirates here. .

Sigbi looked at the corpses of his companions and couldn't help but regretted entering the back room alone. However, he quickly looked at the culprit standing in the tavern, clenched the scimitar in his hand and rushed towards Daru.

At the latter's suggestion, Will and Gino hurried to the brightly lit palace.The roads inside the palace were crowded with people, and most of the civilians looked scared and confused. The sound of cannons from far away kept destroying people's psychological defenses. The citizens and tourists of Garcia, who had not seen pirates for many years, were now in panic.

Suddenly a child's cry came from the crowd, and then a large number of women and children started to cry.

Gino looked at the sad and frightened crowd, couldn't help but clenched his fists, pulled Will, who was standing aside and stared at the fire in the city in a daze, and said in a voice that was almost a growl: "I want to kill pirates."

"Are you sure? If we are at this level, we may die if we resist the pirates." Will was a little surprised that the usually timid Gino would say such a thing at this time, but he did not refuse directly.However, when he turned to look behind him and saw the tragic images in the crowd, he somewhat understood Gino's original intention.

"Uncle Daru must be fending off pirates at this time. I'm going to help him."

Looking at Kino who seemed to have found a reason to make up his mind, Will laughed and yelled at Kino: "Get your weapons, let's go." The serious look on Kino's face relaxed after receiving a positive reply from his companion, and he looked at Will took action and followed as usual.

The two walked through the streets destroyed by artillery fire, looking at the familiar street shops that had been turned into ruins, feeling a little sad in their hearts.But he kept walking, stepping on the rubble in the ruins, avoiding the raging fires everywhere, and quickly rushed towards the port.

At this moment, a group of pirates rushed out from the still intact street corner ahead. Seeing the two Wills running toward the port with weapons, they couldn't help but sneered.

"Hey, hey, hey, these two hairy boys in front of me don't want to imitate those guards and die. They don't even have hair. I'm afraid I would be so scared that I would wet my pants if I didn't see grandpa."

"Hahaha, it just so happens that my hands are itchy today, so let me teach these two boys. Any attempt to be a hero is just seeking death."
