890 Plan (2/2)
After all, very few pirates would dare to attack an Ettoman port. Despite knowing that the navy had just suffered a heavy defeat, the citizens of Ettoman were still pretty confident that nobody would dare to challenge their dignity as the overlord of the sea.
As the sun shined brightly, waves of seawater flushed against the beach.
All of a sudden, a sharp bugle horn sounded from the port.
”Pirates!” shouted a hoarse voice full of panic and disbelief.
Where the sky met the sea, the dense and black shadows of sails appeared. Shortly after, they turned into nineteen ferocious-looking pirate ships.
This was especially true for the three ships right in the middle. Specter Ship, Sun, and King's Throne sailed forward with oppressive prestige, which even Ettoman's navy could not help but lament.
Bang! Bang!
The pirates fired the first shot, and their formidable cannons blew the small patrol vessels into pieces.
”Legend ability Diamond!”
Soon after, Sun's machinery started driving rapidly as it transformed into a steel giant over a hundred meters tall. Its feet were spitting out flames while it charged toward the port.
Bang! Bang!
The cannons guarding the port opened fire, but their cannonballs only caused massive waves as they crashed into the sea.
Sun glided through the water in an unbelievably agile manner to dodge the cannon fire. It arrived on land and extended its arm.
Kaboom!
Reinforced concrete flew. One of the forts was thoroughly destroyed, and numerous cannon barrels started tumbling down, killing an unknown number of artillerymen.
Secondary cannons ready! Automatic calibration! Firing!
At the same time, a cannon barrel appeared on each of the giant's shoulders and started spraying frightening flames.
Just like that, two more forts collapsed.
A clear order sounded from King's Throne. ”Attack!”
The pirates stared blankly at what they had just witnessed. When they realized that the originally secure defense system crumbled in almost an instant, they immediately let out deafening cheers. They roared while charging toward the port.
In fact, doing this was almost like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Given Fang Yuan's current strength, as well as the three legendary ships, no port in the entire world would be able to defend against him.
Birming Port fiercely resisted the pirates' invasion, fighting its final struggle.
Many soldiers fought bravely, making use of every street block to battle the pirates, fighting to protect their lives and wealth.
Once Fang Yuan set foot on the port, he commanded, ”Pass down my orders! I need a lot of captives! As for the rest of the spoils of war, let the rest of the pirates split them evenly!”
”Mighty Pirate King!” Seeing this scene, Wilson went forward. ”The enemies' resistance is strong, and it seems like Ettoman's army exceeded our expectations. Just by attacking this port, we've lost over a thousand men. This is with the help of our three legendary ships… We can't continue like this!”
”I know…” Fang Yuan nodded. ”From Birming Port to Glass City, there are at least three more hurdles. Furthermore, there are thirty thousand soldiers stationed in Glass City. They could even mobilize the people's militia…”
”We'll have obtained a lot of loot if we leave after attacking Birming Port, but if we continue moving forward, I'm afraid…” Wilson did not finish. Pirates were arrogant and obstinate, but their casualties were already very serious.
The next course of action would not only reduce their spoils of war, but the death count would also continue to increase significantly. If that happened, even as the Pirate King, Fang Yuan might find it difficult to suppress their grievances.
”You're right. Which is why in the following battles, I'm not planning to use pirates anymore!” Fang Yuan snickered. ”Let's go take a look at the captives!”
He walked over to a plaza that the pirates were guarding.
This place was originally used to unload cargo. Presently, all the cannons on the pirate ships were aimed at the center. As long as there was any kind of movement among the captives, they would instantly fire.
Butcher walked over and laughed wickedly. ”Following your orders, we've captured over three thousand strong, young men!”
”Great!” Fang Yuan nodded. He saw that only a few of the captives were wearing military uniforms. The majority were ordinary people.
However, he did not care as he took out a golden crown.
The Sun Crown!
After defeating the navy, Fang Yuan had excavated the tomb of the Sun King to dig out this Sun Crown!!
This was the moment for it to be useful!
