Pirate Storm King

The air in the Drum Kingdom is always so cold, and coupled with the desolate atmosphere around it, pedestrians here always feel like they have fallen into an ice cave.Because of Valpo's previous order, patrolling soldiers were sparsely scattered on the streets of the kingdom, carefully checking every corner in the cold fog. According to the guard captain Dalton, the ferocious great pirate Os There are signs that Don Harvey is in this area, and his target is probably the Drum Kingdom.

More well-equipped and well-trained guards have lined up in front of the king's castle. There is very dangerous terrain in front of the castle. No matter in terms of numbers or other aspects, these soldiers are firmly in control. Advantage.But judging from their trembling bodies and tightly pursed lips, they didn't look like they were sure of victory.

A soldier next to Dalton who looked like a squad leader inspected the team and turned around and asked, "Sir, is that pirate really coming? After all, the Drum Kingdom has not had that much wealth in recent years. Pirates won’t set their sights on such a barren target.”

"What do you know?" Dalton, the good-tempered guard captain, reprimanded the young captain uncharacteristically. "Just now, a fisherman fishing in the surrounding waters told me that a large sailboat I had never seen broke into this place. Although the nearby sea area was covered with heavy fog today, they could clearly see the black pirate flag flying by the ship."

Dalton paused for a moment, stuck out his tongue and subconsciously licked his chapped lips, "Although I don't know if it's Harvey and his group, it's certain that pirates have landed in this country."

The further you get away from the forest, the more you can feel the atmosphere of civilization. After passing the last forest that blocked the view, Harvey and others saw scattered huts in the snow. Those who made a living in this forest The houses where people live may be because the weather is too cold. There are no owners in those wooden houses. There are many reindeer herds entrenched here, resisting the biting cold wind in the forest in the wooden houses.

These reindeer herds scattered when they saw people passing by, and some bolder ones pointed their heavy horns at the uninvited guests.Harvey was not familiar with these reindeer. After observing for a while and finding no reindeer with blue noses, Harvey left here with a disappointed look on his face.

"Well, I thought I could catch them as pets." Harvey looked back reluctantly at the reindeer herd that had gathered again after the humans left, "Sure enough, we still haven't found them?"

"According to what you said, this kind of reindeer has generally been driven away by the deer herd long ago. With a blue nose, those ordinary reindeer may not recognize such a companion." Alu complained next to him, "Besides, this Reindeer grow a lot of hair because they have to withstand the cold, and they look quite big, but actually they don’t have much meat.”

So your most intuitive definition of an animal is how much meat it has?

After leaving the deer herd, we didn't go far before we entered the city of this kingdom. However, this place was even more deserted than the edge of the forest where the deer herd was. At least there were still a lot of deer herd there.But here, Harvey pointed at the dilapidated streets and houses in front of him, and the surrounding doors and windows were tightly closed.Even the noisy pubs on weekdays have their doors closed. "This is the Drum Kingdom, which is only a little better than a small run-down village."

"Perhaps they have learned about the pirate attack and are hiding. After all, we didn't cover our tracks when we came here."

Jim felt that he was having a terrible day today. He just gave a bunch of Baileys a month ago and said a lot of nice things, so he got a job in the Kingdom Guard, and he even looked familiar in front of the squad leader. I thought I could finally stand out, but today I was told that a big pirate was eyeing this country. Captain Dalton asked all the soldiers to gather in front of the castle.There, rely on a strong fortress to resist the coming pirates.

Jim sneered in his heart. He was a man who went to sea with his father when he was a child. Although he only worked as a handyman on a merchant ship, he was still a man who had seen the sea. He was better than those guys who had lived on a small island all their lives. I don’t know how many times more, at least that’s what he thinks.He knew what the real pirates were like. When he heard that a big pirate was eyeing this country, Jim was so scared that his legs went weak.

After using illness as an excuse to avoid the gathering, perhaps because the situation was too urgent, Captain Dalton did not blame him, but assigned him and some soldiers the task of patrolling the streets.Just patrol. As long as you don't force the pirates at the castle gate with those fools, he will do whatever you want him to do.

However, Jim took this patrol task seriously. Under his arrangement, the residents of the neighborhood close to the forest closed their doors and hid in their homes. This is also a common way for ordinary people to deal with pirates. .The pirates generally lost interest in these ordinary residents after looting the palace. There were not many pirates who were so cruel that they would set the entire country on fire. Most of them were just looking for money.

After touring the entire block again, Jim was about to go back to rest. Suddenly, he found a few figures standing unexpectedly on the already deserted street.

"These guys...haven't we told them not to stay on the street anymore?" Jim cursed as he walked over. The fog blowing in the forest made it difficult for him to see clearly, but judging from the figures, how many of those people were there? Is the tall guy the woodcutter who just came down the mountain? Jim suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to walk towards those people.

"You..." Jim's words were stuck in his throat before he even finished speaking. After seeing the faces of the people in front of him clearly, Jim couldn't close his mouth.He knew these people from the reward notice posted on the wall of the bar not long ago.The pirate who put the entire kingdom on alert this time was standing in front of him.

"Ah, this little brother." The leading pirate wearing a top hat and holding a long knife said with a smile, "Can you take us to Valpo? We really don't want to go around in circles anymore. "
