The war horse has its hooves wrapped in thick felt. It was cut from the tent and ran silently on the road. In the darkness, we could only rely on starlight, but the warriors were all superb horsemen, and it was not difficult for them at all. They tried their best to choose roads that were inaccessible and rugged. Although this affected their speed somewhat, it was still worth the small pain of avoiding pirates hiding in the dark.
At midnight, the first squadron arrived at the coast quietly, all dismounted and sneaked. Pirates may be right in front of you, and even a little negligence will cost you dearly. Their carefully designed webs will become fragmented and full of loopholes. If once the whereabouts are exposed, let alone destroying the enemy, it will be very difficult to escape intact.
They sent several small teams to search along the coast. Soon, a stop command came from the front. Glenn was alerted, and he took a few soldiers to investigate in person. However, he came back quickly. His expression was much more relaxed than when he arrived. Seeing his expression, the soldiers also had a backbone. After all, this is the first time that his soldiers have actually gone to the battlefield. As long as they have a strong leader to lead them, they will become fearless and true warriors.
Glenn lowered his voice, but the soldiers could still hear his excitement and determination. He said: "We not only have courage, but also luck. The pirates did not dare to light a fire in order to hide themselves from others. Although they were all in the dark, the gods stood with us. We knew that the enemies were in front of us, but they were still there. They thought they had deceived us. Their time of death has come! The First Squadron doesn’t mind letting them see the power of the Guards’ Iron Fist.”
The darkness gave them the best cover, as well as confidence and courage. Facing the upcoming battle, their hearts are unfettered and their fighting spirit is burning in their chests. The soldiers all clenched the spears in their hands, waiting for an order to launch a ruthless attack.
Grenn's heart was also filled with the same passion as the soldiers, and he was convinced of the coming victory. He continued: "Our enemies never dreamed that we were so close to them. This must be the pirate group led by Babaya himself. I estimate that there are not many pirates left behind, and we will not have a luckier opportunity than this ”
The soldiers felt more and more relaxed about their situation as they saw Gray's face. The soldiers all begged: "Captain Grein, let's attack quickly while it's dark. As long as you give the order, we won't let any of the pirates go."
Glenn smiled and said, "Don't worry, have you seen the ship?"
As everyone looked, the coast was pitch black, like undulating hills. In the darkness, the sound of waves crashing on the beach could be heard in the distance.
Glenn said: "Those faint black figures are pirate ships."
"Good guy, there are so many. I can't even count them." Someone among the soldiers whispered.
"Before the attack, we have to find a way to notify other squadrons," Grein said.
Everyone looked at him in confusion. Just before setting off, they had made the same suggestion, but it had been rejected by him at that time. Now, their captain himself brought it up again. The soldiers trusted their captain more and more, but they also understood him less and less.
Glenn smiled: "Let's light a few fires. As long as the flames are big and bright enough, I think maybe some squadrons will see it. That way, they will be alert and go into battle."
It was a good idea, but someone had a problem. Where to find large piles of firewood on the bare coast? For the fire to be visible to the search team, it must be very big and bright.
Glenn looked at his soldiers and chuckled: "I have to say, thank you for Babaya's reminder - aren't there so many ships? Come on, soldiers, don't let Babaya down. Let us Light up the night sky and hold a brilliant red death feast for the pirates."
The soldiers were ecstatic. Now they understand why Grayn asked Esko to bring so much fire oil. No wonder he said, "There will be a solution when we get to the coast." It turns out that this is the method he said.
It's great to use the fire warning caused by the pirate's ship.
Glenn ordered: "Asco, Algi, you take your respective teams and go up in the dark to burn the ship. Remember, no matter what happens, you just burn the ship. The more you burn, the better. Do you understand? Hesia , Ietta, as soon as I give the order, you will follow me and rush into the enemy camp. You must not give the pirates a chance to breathe. Don't be afraid that you can't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in the dark. Pirates don't have horses. Don’t let it go.”
The soldiers became more confident after hearing what Gray said.
In the night wind, they swore an oath: to fight bravely for Apodoli and the Guards!
In the dark night, they all held their breath, waiting quietly for the moment when the feast that lit up the night sky would begin.
Maybe it's been a long time, maybe it's just a little while. Glenn's expression was peaceful, but his heart was fluctuating like sea water.
Suddenly someone said to him: "Captain Glenn, look, the fire is burning."
Glenn had already seen it. He was overjoyed: "Well done! It seems that Esko and Algi have succeeded." He jumped on his horse, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted, "Warriors of the First Squadron, follow me! Charge!"
He took the lead, leading dozens of loyal and brave warriors, leaping on their horses with swords in hand, and rushed towards the enemy camp.
The fire lit up the entire night sky, and the sound of the burning planks and masts falling on the burning ship stirred up flying fireworks that shone like smoke on the sea. The firelight also illuminated the frightened faces of the pirates on the coast who were stunned by the sudden fire and the neighing of their horses.
The spears gleamed in the fire, and the night sky was filled with dazzling lights. The offensive of the Guards was like the God of Death showing his sharp teeth and a ferocious smile.
There were originally three to four hundred pirates who stayed on the coast. However, in the face of a fierce and sudden attack, many of them were pierced in the chest by the spears of the Guards before they even picked up their weapons. The pirates were stabbed with swords and spears, trampled by horse hooves, and the beach was instantly covered with dead bodies.
As Esko and Algi's team returned from setting fire, there were only more than a hundred cavalry, and on the burning beach, they launched a hearty massacre against the pirates who were unable to fight back as they howled and fled for their lives.
Flames danced, and the Guards galloped on the flat and unprotected coast. They perfectly displayed their painstakingly trained tactics on horseback, and laid out the cavalry lines they had practiced for a long time, like a dense giant net. , allowing the pirates to hit their heads and bleed, but never thought of escaping.
They pursued the pirates who fled barefoot and howling without mercy.
The enemy's blood splashed and the blood flowed loudly. The screams of the dying pirates further aroused the desire for victory in the hearts of the Guardsmen.
They dominate the beach, and their murderous aura frightens the enemy.
They fought bravely, and the pirates were driven to pieces.
The blue helmet is shining, the blade of the sword is blunt, the white horse is leaping, and the robe is stained red with blood.
The sky was getting brighter, and there was no longer a pirate alive or shouting in sight. All the pirates on this beach were wiped out and no one escaped.
With the first try of their swords, Grein and his young warriors achieved a perfect victory that the Guards had not seen for a long time. They didn't even cost a single person.
The sun has not risen today, but the soldiers of the First Squadron can finally say with pride that they have a victory that truly belongs to them.
Their achievements may be insignificant compared with the victories achieved by their ancestors in the era of war and strife, but they are enough to make people feel so proud. At that moment, the soldiers galloped onto the battlefield, and they fought selflessly under the leadership of Grayne. Their victory was also the heaviest blow the pirates had suffered since "Black Shark" Babaya was injured thirty years ago.
The soldiers were on horseback, and after a fierce battle they were still a hundred times more powerful. The joy of victory boosted their morale. They looked at the young commander and loved him from the bottom of their hearts. It was he who led them to convincingly annihilate hundreds of pirates in a life-and-death struggle where the numbers were vastly outnumbered, and achieved a victory that could be boasted for a lifetime.
Glenn was also pleased that the victory was so easy, and his heart that had been hanging around was relieved. However, he had no time to celebrate victory with his soldiers.
For a long time, pirates have been emboldened. Because ships are the legs that pirates use to roam the sea and land, supporting their despicable courage. If they find that there is a team behind them that is smarter than them, they understand their key point and cut off their legs.
So, what are they left with?
Grein knew that. If the sky-high fire would alert the Guards, it would also alert Babaya and his pirates to the fact that they were also in trouble. Even if he can't fully understand what happened, he may still give up all his previous plans. Even if the gold and silver treasures have been put into his hands, he will definitely drive his minions to fight desperately back to the coast. To ensure that his ship was safe and sound. For this, he did not hesitate to pay any price.
Thick black smoke rose from the burning wreckage of the ship on the shore and in the waves. There was a sneer on Glenn's lips.
The Babaya pirate gang thinks they have a plan, but they don't know that the Guards will let you come and leave whenever you want!
The soldiers of the 1st Squadron listened to Glenn's command from the bottom of their hearts. No matter what order Green gives, they will execute it resolutely and thoroughly without any hesitation.
Aisen's team had completed their mission and rushed back in time, but they regretted not catching up with the battle. Although the victory of the 1st Squadron belongs to all soldiers. However, this reason does not give them any relief.
"Captain Green, we can't go back like this. We can't face others because our names don't exist in a victory. Captain Green, please lead us to fight."
Facing the confusion at the moment of victory, Glenn was determined by the eager expressions of the soldiers. He said: "We have won. We are a lonely army. If we withdraw from this battle now, no one can blame us. However, we are the Guards and the pride of the people of Apodoli. We shed blood and sacrificed for Apodoli. , is also our noble glory and pursuit. The pirates are right in front of us, we must fight!"
He knew it very well. What would pirates do if they found their ship burned to the ground? If Babaya is smart enough, he might be able to forget for a moment the desire to vent his anger on the Guardsmen - even if their anger is just a fear of their incompetence. However, a crazy dog is even scarier.
Babaya would rush to other landing sites where his dream ship could be found. How crazy he would have been to live to see his ship!
And how could the Guards let the pirates succeed! The Guards must fight! Until all the pirates are wiped out on this beach.
The soldiers' blood was boiling because of the victory they had just won. They shouted loudly: "Captain Grein, we will always follow you and fight with you. We are also soldiers of the Guards."
Glenn is excited because the soldiers have regarded him as a true teammate and support. Amid the cheers of his comrades, he finally truly integrated into the First Squadron. The soldiers' passionate life and courage to fight for their country also inspired and moved him.
"Thank you, warriors of the Guards! Thank you, good men of Apodoli! You know how cruel the battle that awaits us is, but you still have no hesitation. Yes, there are too few of us, but the pirates cannot underestimate us. ! Now, let’s fight back and intercept Babaya on their way to death! Let’s continue fighting! First Squadron, move forward!”
The soldiers raised their spears and cheered loudly: "Kill the pirates, kill Babaya!" The excited shouts were loud and clear in the morning light illuminated by the fire.
The bravery of the soldiers made Green extremely gratified, and the victory did not let him go to his head. Although Babatia's pirates suffered a blow, his power is still very strong. But that doesn't worry Grein. He already had a plan in mind on how to deal with an enemy ten times his own.
Grein did not expect to annihilate or defeat the Babaya Pirates in one battle with just one squadron. But compared to pirates, the biggest advantage of the Guards is the mobility and flexibility of the cavalry. Once they encounter pirates, the Guards rely on their quick movements and only need to entangle the pirates from a distance and kill the enemies with bows and arrows. Once the pirates wanted to launch a counterattack, the cavalry could easily escape the enemy's attack.
Grein's greatest confidence also comes from this. He also firmly believed that Trinville would lead the army to arrive in time. As long as the First Squadron holds Babaya tightly in its hands, it will achieve great achievements that will make it proud of its predecessors.
They turned around and headed back the way they came. From a distance, they saw the dark crowd approaching, but they just looked at each other and smiled, without a trace of cowardice. Everyone's heart was filled with the pride of killing the enemy for the country.
At this moment, Glenn's heart was no longer heavy and hesitant. He was full of confidence in the soldiers of the 1st Squadron - they were no longer the Guards who only yearned for victory.
They are real warriors who have experienced the baptism of blood and fire!
He reined in his mount and looked back at his soldiers, even with a faint cruel smile on his face. He raised his sword high and shouted loudly: "Warriors! Let us blow up a storm of the Guards in the wilderness of Apodoli!"
The pirates were so anxious to get back to their lairs on the shore that they had no time to send out sentries. They did not completely ignore the potential danger, the pirates just believed that there would never be Apodoli's guards behind them. Even if there are, they can only be some small outpost teams. Or the local security forces who are completely ignored. Moreover, the bright red flames in the dark night sky had already made them dizzy.
In fact, Babaya had been planning this sneak attack for many years. He was confident that everything was perfect. Before seeing the fire, as he expected, everything was under his control.
But now, Babaya was furious. He anxiously urged the pirates back.
The perfect plan he carefully planned is about to be put into action. Once successful, it will be the most daring move not only by him but also by the pirates in Apodoli. He has been waiting for this day for nearly thirty years. At the thought of issuing orders to kill and plunder with a cruel sneer on his face, the greatest kingdom in the Palinkabakama continent will groan and tremble at his feet. He will viciously return the humiliation he suffered thirty years ago to his enemies!
Just thinking about these, he didn't know how many times, he looked up to the sky and laughed arrogantly!
The scene that seemed to have become a reality before his eyes was burned to ashes by the fire that reached the sky in an instant. He was convinced that Apodoli's legions were still stationed in place, with no sign that he had come ashore. Unexpectedly, it still fell short at the last minute.
When he saw the night sky illuminated by flames in the distance, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened. He had to give up the goods he had almost obtained and ordered to retreat at full speed. He pretended to be calm so that the panicked pirates believed that their ship was safe. Everyone knows that without the boat, they will not have the good luck they once had.
However, the Guards have been waiting for this day for many, many years and will never let them off lightly. The beautiful and fertile plains will become their tombs. In order to escape this terrible fate, Babaya ran desperately towards the coast.
Suddenly, a cavalry team was as fast as the wind and blocked the pirates' way. However, the number of enemies was so small that the pirates did not panic because they were ambushed. Instead, they wanted to vent their anger on the cavalry who dared to stop them. On the body.
The pirates were holding scimitars and shouting, eager to rush over and kill all the cavalry in front of them. However, the small number of cavalry did not want to fight with them. The warriors on horseback, in teams of more than a dozen, took turns to step forward and fire bows and arrows at the dense group of pirates. When the pirates approached, they quickly dispersed to the left and right, bent their bows and arrows on horseback, and gave the pursuing enemies a head-on blow.
The pirates were obviously delusional in trying to catch up with the speeding cavalry, but the cavalry's precise archery killed dozens of them in a short period of time.
Babaya's already impetuous and violent mood was aroused further by the cavalry's casual attack. He blamed the anger and frustration caused by this futile failure on the blue cavalry in front of him. He knows who it is!
The shame and pain brought to him by the blue armor and the white shirt dyed red by blood is something he will never forget. Thinking of the red-hot curtain in the night sky, he keenly realized that it would be foolish to blindly imagine that his ship was still waiting for him on the shore.
His ship must have been reduced to ashes in the fire and sea breeze!
Will the beach of Apodoli, who once escaped with his life, be his fateful burial place? This time, has the end of him, the most famous "Black Shark" Babaya among pirates, really come?
He refused and dared not admit his failure.
The shadow of death has enveloped him, and fear has almost completely overwhelmed him. In order to survive, he did not hesitate to fight until the end. He mustered up his remaining courage and shouted frantically: "Catch them and kill them!"
The pirates were all furious. But the enemies on horseback in front of them did not look panicked or scared at all. They would even deliberately slow down their horses because the pirates were tired. But when the pirates were panting and just approaching, they would suddenly kill dozens of the same war horses at the side, inflicting huge damage on them with dense and precise arrows, and then disappear in the dust mist.
The screams and curses of the pirates who were hit by arrows and fell to the ground made Babaya suddenly wake up. The elusive cavalry on the opposite side didn't want to fight him at all! The lonely cavalry in front of him originally wanted to hold him back.
Thinking of this, Babaya realized that he had made an irreparable mistake.
He immediately ordered the entire army to stop the pursuit and sent five hundred pirates holding shields as rearguards to prevent the pursuit of the Guards cavalry. The smoke floating in the sky made him change his mind in time. He gave up the nearby nest and turned to other landing sites.
He firmly believed that it was impossible that all the landing points had been attacked by the Guards cavalry, nor that all the ships had been destroyed. Now, maybe it's not too late. In despair, he seemed to see another glimmer of luck.
He would rather give up chasing the cavalry in front of him, just to get the ship firmly in his hands before the Guards Army arrived. For Babaya and his pirates, having a ship means everything.
Esko pointed forward with his finger and said loudly: "Captain Glenn, look. The pirates have turned around and must be trying to escape."
Glenn had already seen it, and he smiled.
"Babaya is indeed a little clever. However, he woke up a little late!"
The Pirates have wasted too much time on No. 1 Squadron. While the pirates were too flustered to make up their minds to fight back, now was a good time to get away from them.
"Let them go! Let's follow them slowly, find a way to go around to the front, and give them a taste of pain!"
The First Squadron teased Babaya unscathed, causing the pirates to suffer a lot without being able to fight back. They gathered their team and were about to leave the road. Suddenly, there were sounds of fighting between horse hooves and swords coming from the pirate team. Glenn circled the horse's head and looked back. None of them knew what was happening.
