The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

When Colin and his crew went up to the deck, they found that the pirates had already rushed onto the ship. Guns were useless at such a close distance. Pirates and sailors were everywhere killing each other with knives. The bow ram of the Black Skull was inserted into the side of the hull. Pirates would occasionally come boarding the ship. A big shot from the Black Skull (Jack) was looking at this side calmly, leaning on a sword.

"Go, go, for our own sake, kill these dirty pirates." When the first mate Bob saw the situation, he quickly called the slaves and took the lead in the charge.

With the addition of this group of new forces, it seems that the advantage has returned to Barto a little bit.

However, as time went by, after the excitement, the slaves, who had not experienced much fighting, found that the wooden sticks in their hands were no match for the knives in the hands of the pirates. More of their companions died, and few pirates on the opposite side fell.

Colin followed John while poking around with the wooden spear. With John's care, he was not injured for the time being. However, looking at John's appearance, he seemed to be very powerful and had already injured several pirates. They had been together for several days, but no one had realized that John had this ability.

Under the cover of several sailors, Barto occasionally fired a shot with his pistol, and he didn't know how many he hit. After Bob brought his men up, he did break the siege, and several sailors successfully retreated to his side, but looking at the overall situation, he was not optimistic, and defeat was only a matter of time.

Barto turned his head and looked in the direction of Bob. Bob was quite brave. He was just a low-level knight squire, and usually a dozen sailors could not get close to him. Although he was called the first mate, he was actually a bodyguard hired by Barto at a high price. He rushed forward fiercely, and had killed several pirates after coming up to the deck. With the help of several sailors, he had stabilized a corner, but overall, it was still somewhat useless.

"what?"

Barto suddenly discovered that in another direction, John's performance was also good. Holding a wooden spear, he actually attracted the attention of several pirates. For a while, he was fighting with the pirates. The guy who followed him looked quite smart. He poked him from time to time, and the pirates could not get close to him.

He turned around and ordered the sailor beside him, "Go, give a knife to John over there. I think that guy is not a simple person. He may be as powerful as Bob."

……

They have been on the boarding for a while. This is the Black Sea. We can't let him do what he wants. We have to end the battle quickly, otherwise the navy will smell the scent and surround us. It will be bad. Seeing that the pirates still can't take down Barto, Jack is a little impatient. Except for a few pirates who stayed behind, he led the rest of the pirates to attack Barto.

……

Fifteen days ago——

"Admiral, the news we got from old Hansen has been confirmed. The slave trader Barto has already taken a shipload of slaves to the newly-established Emerald Territory. It seems that Jack on the Black Skull got the news and has already rushed to the Holz Strait to ambush."

Standing in front of the window, watching the citizens coming and going on the street below, and listening to the news his men got from Hansen Tavern behind him, Commander Hedram Bergs frowned slightly, thinking, "Since he can get the news here, it makes no sense that the other fleets can't get the news. Is there a problem? Or is it that fighting pirates is no longer our responsibility? Why haven't we heard about them going out to sea?"

……

As soon as he rushed onto the ship, Jack found that his men were blocked in three places. One of them seemed to be a low-level knight attendant with a few sailors. Several of his men fell beside him. It was estimated that they were already in a bad state. The first mate Armand had already fought with him. Looking at another one, he had no equipment on him. Could he be a slave on the ship? The one dancing with a knife was also very powerful. The second mate Jimmy led people there to greet them. There were also several pirates falling beside him, but some of them seemed to be alive. Finally, looking at the door of the command room, that should be Barto, hum! Who are you trying to scare with a broken pistol? Can you beat anyone?

The sailors in other corners had basically fallen, and his pirate brothers were completely dominant. It seemed that if he killed Barto and his men, he could still earn a ship? Thinking of this, Jack became excited. The most urgent task was to open those gaps.

"Brothers, work harder, there are a group of women on the boat. Victory belongs to us, Tea Juice!" Jack shouted.

"Tea! Tea!" the pirates responded excitedly like animals.

Seeing the pirates’ high morale, Barto became anxious. Are they going to be unable to defend the city?

Thinking of this, Barto was ready to call Bob back. There was a small boat next to the command room. Could they still escape?

……

Regardless of what Barto was thinking, Colin could see that the situation was not good. "The big shot on the other side has also boarded the ship. This is going to be a decisive battle. The outcome will be known soon. What should we do?"

Colin thought, "I've only traveled through time for a few days, and I have to travel through time again? It's still unclear whether I can travel through time after I die." He got anxious and shouted, "John, John, look over there, what should I do?"

In fact, John was more anxious than Colin. He had seen Jack boarding the ship a long time ago. It was obvious that the ship could not be defended. The pirates might not do anything with slaves like Colin and could just sell them off.

For someone like him who has some strength, the pirates would either force him to join or kill him directly. There would be no third option. Although he was now a slave, he believed that with his strength, he would find a way to escape or redeem himself. He did not want to choose either of the two options given by the pirates.

While fighting with Jimmy, John retreated and said to Colin, "Let's go, let's retreat to Bartow. First mate Bob is also quite powerful. Let's go and join them."

John and Colin fought and retreated at the same time. With John's powerful counterattack, they quickly broke free from Jimmy's entanglement and retreated to the vicinity of Barto.

Seeing that Bob and John were about to gather with Barto, Jack became anxious and took out the pistol from his waist and prepared to fire.

"Well, let's shoot the one without armor first." After setting the target, Jack fired a shot. Before he had time to see the result, he heard the sound of "boom" from the distance.

"Well, what's going on?" Jack asked puzzledly.

"Boss, it looks like the naval fleet from Auckland Port." Armand replied as he retreated.

"Let's go, boss. We won't be able to leave when the navy fleet arrives," Armand continued.

Jack glanced at Barto and waved his hand helplessly, "Retreat, retreat."
