Chapter 124 (1/2)
At 4:30 p.m. on March 1, 1171, the sea area 6 kilometers north of torrent island.
Ten langskip warships in the style of North Island dragon boat, heading south in the wind and breaking the waves.
On the warship in the guard position of the fleet's ”t-formation”, two people in different clothes are talking.
A young pirate wearing a half covered iron helmet and felt armor sat on the oar position in front of the dragon boat and rowed the oar hard. Looking at the distant scenery, he shouted to the barbarian soldiers sitting cross legged on the deck behind him: ”Corwin, I see the torrent island! Twilight is not far from the west coast! ”
The barbarian soldier glanced at the yelling pirate. Just when he wanted to speak, the acid water from his abdominal cavity forced him to run to one side of the deck and vomited.
The pirate whispered, ”thanks to them, they say you are the bravest soldier...”
He underestimated Colvin's ear power.
The barbarian soldier turned back angrily and shouted, ”Lev! Just let me leave the damn sea and swear to the ancient god, I will hang you upside down on the top of the tree with... Vomit... ”
The young man, known as LEV, was totally indifferent to this unconvincing threat. He turned his head to the direction of the coast, with a reverie on his face: ”if I can return home with a full load this time, the tribe agrees to give me a woman!”
”If the people who make the promise are the leaders of your tribe, I advise you to give up as soon as possible!” Colvin lay on his back on the deck with weak limbs and said with his face to the sky.
”Why do you say that?”
Corwin struggled to get up: ”we had agreed with the silver ring kingdom that the attack should be three days later. But the leader of the pirate tribe arbitrarily advanced the departure time by three days in order to be the first to enter the city and rob. ”
Lev asked, ”is there anything wrong with this?”
”Agreement is agreement!” Colvin patted his chest hard: ”since the two sides have made an appointment before, unilateral breach of the agreement is deception, that is, no credit!”
Lev glanced at Corwin with an idiot's eyes: ”this kind of thing only exists between friends. It's necessary to be trustworthy with those fools in the silver ring kingdom?”
Colvin, who was sullen, had something to say when he was suddenly interrupted by the noise from the warships ahead.
Lev straightened up and looked forward.
The people on the battleship in front suddenly jumped into the sea, and the hull slowly tilted and began to sink.
Then the same happened to the second and third warships.
Just when everyone was in doubt, a pirate who fell into the water and floated pointed under the sea and shouted in fear: ”sea monster! There are sea monsters under the water! ”

Four hours ago, Muxi town.
Todd stood in the square, looked at the militia and believers who were busy in the town, looked back at friar Joe and knight Dion standing in front of him, and asked with a headache, ”my order to you is to follow the residents to evacuate south. How did you come back?”
Friar Joe touched his bare head and said in a muffled voice, ”every plant and tree here, every street, is the crystallization of my hard work. Let me leave like this, I can't...”
The knight Dion was wearing a barbed sword around his waist and a suit of armor that fitted his petite figure. His long blond hair was tied into a horsetail and wrapped in cloth and satin on his head. He just said, ”I don't want to regret the rest of my life for living.”
Todd touched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly, ”since you have made a decision, I won't stop it. The layout of the town has been basically completed, and the division of labor on street fighting has been done well. You can follow me... ”
”Commander in chief! The enemy's warship appeared! ”
Alfonso came quickly and said loudly.
Todd was stunned.
How did the pirate ship appear today?
Calculate the time. Today is the fourth day of the departure of the silver ring coalition. If the false military order is successful, Cumberland's army should have just fought with them at this time. As for pirates and barbarians, they should reach the coastline in three days?!
After asking Alfonso carefully, Todd thought again. When he got the truth, he couldn't cry or laugh.
The pirates had long made up their mind to attack in advance. While agreeing to jointly attack Muxi town on March 4 with the silver ring army, they launched the attack three days in advance without notifying their allies.
The lies of false military orders turned out to be facts; Taking advantage of the time difference to attack the two armies, but because of a series of coincidences, it has become a two-sided battle.
