"Big fish, Chief Shertier! Chief Kitka! Come and take a look!"
An excited cry echoed across the spacious river. A pirate kingdom's longship sailed up the river, followed by more than thirty longships of various sizes. The person shouting was a bit fat. He was holding a wine glass in one hand and a half-eaten grilled fish skewer in the other. He kept spraying the smell of alcohol from his mouth.
Two longships of about the same size followed, each with a figure who looked like a lord. The leader of the ship on the left is a short dwarf, but has a cold expression. He is sharpening an ax with a whetstone; the leader of the ship on the right is taller, sitting cross-legged on the bow of the ship, using He held his big, rough face covered with stubble in his hands, as if deep in thought.
These are three petty lords on the political fringes of a pirate kingdom. The one who was polishing the ax was a chief from the territory called Kitka, named Mohku; the one sitting cross-legged on the bow was a chief from the territory of Shertier, named Botulf; and the one who was drinking and eating fish was York. The chief of the Mohek Territory was named Bea Ivi. Even among the pirate kingdoms, the territories of these three belong to the wild lands very far north. Therefore, they have minimal influence from Ayla and Hestein - although they have no political hostility towards Hestein. , but they still carelessly believe in the Asa clan headed by Odin, and even the leader is still called the ancient "chief".
Among the three, Beaivi's territory was slightly larger. He brought twelve ships and nearly three hundred people, which was more ships and more people than Botulf and Mohecu brought. Therefore he became the leader of the fleet.
"Look!" Beavi pointed to a place not far along the river with the grilled fish skewers in his hand. "It's consistent with the rumors. There are troops stationed in this area! What a big camp!"
"I saw it." Botulf was still sitting cross-legged on the boat, looking lethargic. "It's big, but it's too big. If we want to attack, we don't have enough manpower, so we have to go back and get another group of people."
"I've seen this piece of fat along the way. If you don't rush forward, aren't you waiting for the fat to fly away?" Moheku raised the ax in his hand and examined the sharp blade carefully in the sun. "Botulf, if you are so brave, you are suitable for going home and fishing."
"What did you say?" Botulf's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Do you want to compete with me?"
Beavi smiled and stuffed the remaining half of the fish into his mouth. After a burp of wine, he pulled out the sword from his waist:
"It's interesting. The three of us haven't competed for a long time. How about we try to see who can kill more enemies?"
Botulf glanced at Beavi: "What can you use as a token?"
Moheku replied coldly: "Of course it is the enemy's left ear."
Beavi smiled and nodded: "Then it's settled."
The three leaders pointed their weapons upward at the same time, and suddenly the war drums sounded in unison!
"Attack on our first camp along the river."
——The Aztlan soldiers who came over reported to Ella.
"They didn't even notice the second trap camp we intentionally set up!"
Ella yelled and cursed in the camp: "These idiot pirates! Could it be that they came directly with a large force after hearing the slightest rumor? Didn't they know to send scouts to find out the news first? ???”
——Of course, the three pirate lords couldn't hear Ella's curse.
They rushed the boat onto the beach, jumped out of the boat and charged towards the camp in the distance. As soon as they charged, the Aztlans in the camp began to retreat. This was a special order from their commander. After all, the first camp was clearly a decoy, so there was no need to pretend to be like that. But these pirates didn't notice anything unusual at all. They rushed into the camp carelessly, chasing the retreating Aztlan people and throwing throwing axes.
"So weak, too weak."
Mohecu stepped on an Aztlan's back, pulled the throwing ax from its head, and sliced off his left ear cleanly.
"Six."
He turned his head and showed off the trophy in his hand.
"Eight." Bea Ivi shook the ears that were skewered by the bamboo sticks he had just used to skewer fish. "Thankfully, I have eaten enough, so I have enough strength."
Mohecu snorted, picked up the ax without saying a word, and chased the Aztlan people who had ran out of the camp.
"That guy Moheku is still the same." Bea Ivi burped. "The camp is here. If you are not busy searching, you only know how to chase people and kill them. You can't make money by killing people."
As he spoke, he happily turned his head to look at Botulf, who was walking slowly over: "Chief Shetier, what are your results?"
"Three."
"Only three?"
"I ransacked a warehouse by the way."
"You are still smart!" Bea Ivihaha patted Botulf on the shoulder, "No wonder when we went to sea to rob, our spoils were not as much as yours!"
"However, these things don't seem to be very valuable."
Botulf spread his hands and showed the cotton, sulfur and saltpeter in his hands.
"It can't be eaten, and it can't be used to kill people. Why would the Aztlan people set up a camp to contain this waste?"
"Who knows what these primitive people are thinking. In such a big camp, they don't even dare to resist. It's not surprising that a group of wastes would pack a pile of waste in the warehouse." Bea Ivi shook his head a few times, "Listen They say they will also use the beans as gold coins. It is impossible to grab anything valuable. If we fight like this, we will go back and pay a favor to the King of Heroes."
"I suddenly felt something was wrong." Botulf said, "Where have you heard of this tactic?"
"That's it, tactics?"
"Yes, let me think about it carefully...it seems...it seems..."
Botulf thought hard for a while, then suddenly slapped his head:
"It's the tactic used by Triumphant when he defeated Snake Eyes!"
Before he finished speaking, flaming arrows fell from the sky, igniting a raging fire in the camp!
In Ella’s camp, reports poured in from all directions:
"Report to Tratoani! Report to the Envoy of God! The fire has been confirmed! The ambush on the right wing has begun to attack!"
"Wait a moment……"
Ella tried to stop.
"Lord God Envoy, there's a fire! The ambush on the left has moved behind as planned and is burning their ships!"
"Wait a moment……"
Ella wiped the sweat from her face.
"Tessosomok! I didn't expect your plan to actually work!" Lead the soldiers to support the front line!"
"Wait a moment……"
"Huh?" Xue Qipei, who was about to rush out of the camp, turned back and said, "Is there any problem?"
"No……"
"I didn't know what to do before, and I had a lot of trouble with Tratoani and you." Xue Qipei bowed slightly, "But on the battlefield, I hope we can still work together!"
…
Xue Qipei also rushed out.
"What should I do?" Tesosomok turned his head stiffly, "The enemy seems to be much stupider than the envoy expected, and they just dived into the trap..."
"What else can we do! Go out and save people!" Ella jumped up, "No matter what, we have to let a few people go and go back to report the news, right?"
