Chapter 22: If one day the knife is in hand, I will kill all the dogs in the world (dog face with a smile)

The horse made of Lu is fast, and the bow is astonished as a thunderous string.

Ancient Chinese history books say that a person’s martial arts are superb, which is three words: good at bowing and horses!

Zhu Peng bends his bow and shoots arrows, and uses the strength of the bow and arrow to recoil itself, cleans the muscles and improves physical fitness. This is a technique for practicing martial arts. If he really reaches the battlefield, he will still use the best crossbow arrow to shoot the enemy with more combat power. Because Rod Custer's body cannot pull the heavy bow at all, and the arrows shot by ordinary hunting bows on the battlefield cannot penetrate high-quality armor, so he has no lethality.

Zhu Peng was wearing the three strategic treasures, including the Flame Cloak, the Stone Wooden Shield, and the Fire Gem at this time, feeling their effects:

The flame cloak, a magic item made of underground spider silk as the base material, has become quite extraordinary after years of fire magic in the Hellhound's Nest:

Long-range troops flame attack blessing 1. Zhu Peng's twelve arrows shot at the burning target at this time was also because of its effect. The firepower was less concentrated and the power was not underestimated... However, Zhu Peng didn't like it very much.

The reason is very simple. Wearing a big red cloak alone on the battlefield is like a big red envelope to greet New Year. Isn’t it knelt down and begging others to gather fire and shoot?

In contrast, the stone wooden shield that looks like an ancient log fossil is more in line with Zhu Peng's aesthetics. The round small shield is very inconspicuous when tied to the left elbow, but the practicality of the battle is a bit poor. As a shield, the harder the better. On the contrary, the harder the more brittle it means that it has no shock absorption effect.

A true good shield is resilient. In Chinese language, it is a combination of hardness and softness to be tenacious.

The stone wooden shield is really a hard stone shield. Zhu Pengruo really uses it to fight the frontal strike of heavy weapons on the battlefield. He may be the next big blow, and his arm bones will be broken.

However, this is a full defense 2 strategic treasure. Not to mention that it is just a little weak in protection, even if it has no protection, Zhu Peng pinched his nose and recognized it. The strategic treasure of defense is in line with his own talent and expertise. Zhu Peng is currently here and wants to wear a strategic treasure on the side of the defense to improve his overall combat power.

As for the Fire Gem (pseudo), in the words of the old butler John Watson, this is a treasure that can be used as a family heirloom. It is of great value in the long run, but what Zhu Peng cares more about is the effect of the magic power spread after it "breaks", rather than long-term value.

While Zhu Peng was regulating his breathing after shooting arrows, a soldier came to him and whispered to report.

"...I didn't expect there would be unexpected gains, I know." He exhaled gently, placed the wooden bow and arrow pouch aside, and Zhu Peng turned around and followed the soldier to the prison in Jerbourburg.

It was still the torture room I visited last time, but Matthew, the young army instructor who was originally locked up here, had been secretly strangled. Old John had already waited here first, and a man was tied tightly on the cross-shaped wooden frame of the torture room, but he was one of the six pirates who had been captured before. At this moment, he was also covered in scars, his skin was blooming, and he was about to vent his breath but not inhaled.

Zhu Peng was not surprised by the scene in front of him, because the order he gave to Old John was: "Torturing and promising until death..."

As for the torture and confession? Zhu Peng actually didn't know.

Jerbourg is not too far from the sea. There is also an Elbuck Fort in the middle to stop him. There will be a thirty-man pirate who will touch him quietly. Zhu Peng is quite confused about this. If it is usually not a problem, but because it is directly related to Yatman's mission, Zhu Peng, who is afraid of missing a certain branch line, subconsciously pays more attention.

He caught six pirates and fought in an instant. There were no ransom merchants or slave traders in Gerbourg. Zhu Peng did not want to surrender them and influenced his morale. So he issued the order in the foreword to Old John. Anyway, pirates have no human rights, so it is best to be able to ask any secrets. However, even if they can't ask, there is no secret in themselves. For a noble, it is not a big deal to kill six pirates hidden in his territory.

This kind of thing is not legally bound by the Kaladia continent, nor does it constitute a personal moral flaw at all.

However, after the old John personally supervised the worker torture and death, the sixth pirate, who seemed to be a small leader, completely collapsed under the threat of torture and death. He said that he knew a big secret, a huge secret that could exchange a castle in the Kingdom of Nord, or even stir up the coastal situation!

"You want me to come, I've come. Tell me, what's the secret."

When he walked into the torture room, he naturally had a prison head who had been wiped and placed behind the lord. Zhu Peng sat down and said so.

"...huh...huh, I want a lord's pardon, a Vigian civilian, and three thousand dinars." The little pirate leader tied to a cross wooden cradle gasped for a long time and said, saying, "I want to ask for a lot."

"It's greedy enough... the lord's pardon, civilian status, three thousand dinars... What secret can you, a little pirate, know? How dare you ask me for this price?" Zhu Peng took off his leather gloves and looked at his slender white fingers. However, he was not angry, but instead asked with a smile:

"The legendary pirate treasure? The long-standing legend of goddess? The peerless mermaid or Treasure Island in the deep sea... wouldn't it be the chart of the fountain of immortality, right?"

"...Not it is, it is the pirate king Nabar, the pirate promotion system he found. The second level 6 armed force in the entire Kaladia continent... It is no problem to hand over Nabar to the Nord royal family and replace it with a castle. We originally planned to use this secret to establish the pirate kingdom... Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

However, he could not withstand torture, and he did not turn back the arrow after shooting the bow. After howling twice, he finally chose to continue talking:

"Give me a pardon and give me the value of a Vigian civilian so that I can go to Kulao to open an iron smelting farm and live incognito as a small boss... Otherwise, if you kill me, I will not say another word, because I can't escape the sphere of influence of pirates. After all, I will still have the word "death" and I'm afraid it will be worse than dying in your hands."

(It shouldn't be fake...)

This was the first thought that came to Zhu Peng's mind, because he noticed that the man in front of him clearly divided the words "pirates" and "pirates" in his consciousness, but this is a consent word.

If it weren't for the more detailed hierarchy, he, a pirate who had not received any text training, wouldn't have been so clear.

This is similar to China in China, Ruierdian in the Kingdom of Swadia. The words are different and the meanings are similar. Except for literary and historical scholars, there are not many people who care about these names on weekdays...

"I can't give you three thousand dinars. If it's normal, it's okay to sell three thousand dinars for your secret. However, I've been short of funds recently because of some things. I can give you five hundred dinars. You run all the way south, whether you run to Swadia or even to Sarand Sultan, you can avoid the revenge of the pirates. As a traveler, you'll wander around the world."

Rod Cast's words made the pirate leader very disappointed, but his heart became much more fulfilled. If the other party agreed to his all the conditions without saying a word, he might have to worry about the other party breaking his promise. Now, there should be no need to worry about a noble breaking his promise for 500 Dinar?

"The Pirate King Nabal, he had fought a big battle with the Lord of Fort Bruga near Vigia. Both sides were killed and injured. As a result, when Nabal was weakest, he was kicked into the battalion by another Vigia nobleman and he did not even run away. Fortunately, the Vigia nobleman did not know Nabal's identity. After a while, whether he was sold to the ransom merchant or the slave trader Ramon, Nabal would return to the coast smoothly... However, the Vigia nobleman suddenly fought with the Nord nobleman, and Nabal was not released for a long time, so a pirate came to the fiefdom of the Vigia nobleman to see if there was a chance to rescue the Pirate King."

"Does your meaning be... the Virgian nobleman is named William Custer?" At this moment, in the torture room, from Old John to Zhu Peng, everyone was confused, but the man opposite nodded slowly, confirming everything.

A first-level prison can hold fifty prisoners, a second-level prison can hold one hundred prisoners, while a second-level prison in Fort Gerber has 88 prisoners, of which 82 are pirates. The reason why Zhu Peng knew that he would not be able to defeat Anina's elite army was still stable because he planned to surrender all the 88 prisoners in the prison when necessary and take them out for a while.

However, this is not an easy task. Not to mention the loss of discipline and morale of the army of Gerberburg, it is not only whether Zhu Peng can successfully surrender, but whether he can suppress these beast-like Nord pirates after surrender. These are all two things.

The Nord Pirates are not inferior to the powerful combat power of the third-level infantry in the mainland. After eating and drinking, they are equipped with armor and weapons, if they counterattack and take over Jerberburg first, Zhu Peng may not even have a way out of escape.

"Young Master, everything he said is true. We will hand over the pirate king Nabar to the Nord royal family and no longer ask for a city. As long as the Nord royal family admits not to pursue our occupation of Elbuk Fort, it is enough. We can even turn Vigia and join the Nord Kingdom camp." Old John knew that the Riva Charge army was approaching. He had accumulated huge pressure in his heart these days. At this moment, he came to Zhu Peng and whispered softly.

"No, Gerbourg is a foundation that my father spent half his life to build. If you want to take it away from me, you can use enough blood and life to fill it." He stood up suddenly, Zhu Peng pulled out his long sword and cut off the rope on the wrists of the pirate leader, and then dragged him into the prison.

"Nabar, I am Rod Cast, the lord of Gerbburg. I didn't expect that a pirate king had been wronged for so long in such a simple and dirty place... If you want to establish a pirate kingdom and become a king on the sea, will you refuse to show up after being called out? Do you have to point the traitor in my hand to identify you?" Holding a sword in your right hand and holding the screaming pirate leader's hair in his left hand, he pulled the prison aisle with his howling.

Zhu Peng glanced at the strong and dirty men with black faces in the prisons on both sides. These Nord pirates angrily scolded and spitted at the traitor who was dragged upside down, and smashed things with things. Compared to the enemy, they were undoubtedly traitors. The prisoners around ran out and beat them with weapons to suppress the riot. Until a one-eyed man with a huge and strong body and aura seemed to be like a lion, he stepped forward and pushed away his subordinates who were blocking him and looked directly at Zhu Peng. The wild and untactical pirate riot in the prison fell silent.

This scene made Zhu Peng know that the man in front of him really had a high reputation among the pirates.

"Aristocrat...what do you want to gain from Nabar? Money, or strength?"

"Puff..." Zhu Peng did not answer the Pirate King's question at the first time. He turned around and grabbed the pirate leader's hair, and wiped the sword with his right hand on his throat, killing the other party like a chicken.

"I... just want to make a deal with you." Let go of my left hand and hold the blood-dropping sword in my right hand. Zhu Peng looked directly at Nabar's one-eye, saying so.

...A snake cannot do without a head, and a scattered group is undoubtedly difficult to control. However, when this group itself has an organizational structure, everything becomes traceable; the vacuum of human power will eventually be filled, from ancient times to the present, in any era, in any plane, almost never exception...

One day and a half later, Anina led her elite troops to "become" in Jerbourg.

On the city wall, Zhu Peng noticed that the scale of her troops was larger than the information she received. It seemed that more wandering armed forces were suppressed and subdued by Anina. This woman's personal charm and persuasion ability must be quite high. She seemed to be proud, completely ignoring the actual combat power loss caused by placing pirates and even robbers into the elite troops.

The military proverbs under the generals are not as good as the more troops. Annina obviously has no luck hearing the military proverbs that the more soldiers are, the more elites are.

"Rod, let's have a good talk. Your father's abdication of the Elbuck Fort in Nord's Kingdom will definitely cause conflicts between the two countries. Come to me and I plead with my uncle for you. Although I may be punished, I promise that you and Uncle William will not have any life... Oh my."

With Zhu Peng's arm swing on the top of the city, a rain of arrows shot down from the arrow castle on both sides. A light red light flashed on the flame cloak, and a faint flame ignited at the tips of the arrows falling from the rain.

One of the five knights behind Anina, the war horse under him was even shot directly by this large rain of arrows. The group of six people retreated in a mess. Looking at Anina's sharp sword technique to pull the sword to kill the flying fire arrows, Zhu Peng shook his head slightly, and asked a question mark on many memories of Rod Custer in his heart.

At this point, there was nothing more to say on both sides. The tragic battle officially began.

Behind Zhu Peng, six two-handed swordsmen wearing full armor, were the strongest infantry among the tavern mercenaries: professional warriors.

Starting from a peasant, hiring sentries, caravan guards, and hiring swordsmen. They were promoted to professional warriors and became a fifth-level army. The combat power was not inferior to the same-level army in the mainland countries. It cost Zhu Peng more than 2,000 dinars just to buy these six people. The ten thousand dinars saved by William Cast are all consumed today.

Even the first-level fire gem (pseudo) that Old John called it a heirloom treasure was smashed by Zhu Peng. The spreading magic power greatly increased the experience of one hundred first-level soldiers in the Jerbauburg area, and the experience of two-level soldiers was greatly increased, and the experience of one hundred first-level soldiers in the Jerbauburg area was obtained, and the effect time was 24 hours.

As the magic spread after the fire gem was shattered, Zhu Peng's main body of the 130 lunge troops, the ninety battlefield cannon fodders were the first to be hit. Forty Vigia recruits were all promoted to Vigia light infantry, fifty Vigia second-level light infantry, all promoted to level 3. Zhu Peng ordered them to all change into Vigia guerrilla shooters. After changing into a large number of weapons and equipment reserved in Jerbauburg, he finally barely reached a useful range.

Eighty Virgian guerrilla shooters and eight hired crossbowmen were distributed on both sides of the arrow towers and the city walls, and they poured their firepower down from a high point to shoot the opponent. Viscount William Cast was a mercenary and had a strong sense of crisis. They enjoyed it normally, and they didn't care about the show. All the money saved was spent on the expansion of the army. The entire Gerbourg was sufficient in military supplies and food reserves. With the output rate of these 88 shooters, even if they shot for three days and three nights, there would be no worries about insufficient supplies.

The siege battle was at the peak of each other's killing at the beginning. When Anina arrived last night, she actually asked her subordinates to build the siege tower overnight. Before she really siege the city, she pretended to run to the city to ask Rod Custer to offer the city... As soon as she was shot back, she pushed the siege tower bridge out of the forest the next moment. She really didn't remember the overnight revenge. She planned to avenge the scene.

Before the infantry pushed the siege tower bridge to truly build the city wall, the defenders were originally tilting their arrows to kill the opponent unscrupulously. However, the thirty Vigian archers and twenty Vigian sharpshooters behind Anina turned the situation into mutual attacks with back and forth.

If they were not regretful that they were sucking their big mouths, Yatiman's two arrow towers, these fifty Vigia elite shooters could even complete the reverse fire suppression on their lower back, which means that their archery ability exceeded the disadvantages of geographical advantages and could forcibly suppress the defending shooter on the city top.

However, the arrow tower itself has a reverse arrow defense design. The shooters hidden in the arrow tower on both sides can "relatively" kill the enemy under the city safely. When the shooters below shoot invisible enemies in the arrow tower in the opposite direction, it is very awkward and difficult. The double defense advantages of the arrow tower have been set aside, which has a clear margin of the level gap between the shooting lineups of the two sides. Even due to the advantages of number of people and logistics supplies, the shooting lineup of the defending team of Jerbourburg gradually has a certain advantage.

Although she was very surprised by this scene, Anina only praised the wealth of Viscount William left Rhodes for the wealth of the family. She didn't care about the small loss at the moment, because the siege tower bridge had already connected to the city of Gerbburg. After the hundreds of elite infantry under her command, she would definitely be able to easily capture the castle. At that time, she would peel Rod Custer's skin and soak him in a barrel and give him to Viscount William to help her uncle wipe out this grass-roots hero who was vaguely famous for his military talents.

However, the cards in Zhu Peng's hand gave Annina a blow.

More than eighty strong blonde and blue-eyed Nord men were wearing heavy armor and swinging sharp axes to fight against the Vigia infantry on the narrow tower wall. The flying axe and heavy javelin first hit a wave like a crazily rainstorm, and then the wheel-like axe, especially the huge and powerful man who was one-eyed and thick. His strength was beyond Anina's understanding of pirates. The heavy axe that tore the wind and sky broke the leather armor of the Vigia infantry like tearing open a letter paper, and easily killed them.

The fierce pirate king Nabal was even fiercely killed off the city and jumped onto the narrow wooden tower bridge for only two or three people to move forward. After purging three or five Vigian infantry like a tiger, he retreated step by step back to the city defense. When the pirates mixed in the Riva chariot infantry saw Nabal with one eye and hair, they turned around and fled. Their chaos even squeezed some Vigian infantry off the tower bridge, nearly five floors of height. After a loud crash, even if the Kaladia was strong and lucky enough to die, he would definitely not have to continue participating in this battle.

This is the disadvantage of mixing low-level troops into elite troops. Of course, there is no abnormality when fighting in the wind. Even elite troops can slowly lead low-level troops into elite troops, but when fighting evenly, fighting a deadly battle, or even fighting against the wind, the collapsed low-level troops will disrupt the formation of the elite troops, bring morale to the ground, and even lead to retreat and defeat.

Anina's vision is correct. From Zhu Peng's perspective of source quality, Pirate King Nabar is a veritable level six-level army and a powerful hero template.

The original pirates were the two levels of "Nord Farmers and Nord Pirates". With the natural physique and excellent equipment of the Nords, they became the strongest thief organization in the Kaladia continent. They even formed a certain degree of pirate culture in the Nord Kingdom, and farmers were not ashamed of becoming pirates.

However, no matter how strong the pirate is, it is just a "thief". The pirate king Nabar didn't know where to find a new training and promotion system different from the Nord Kingdom: water pirates, pirates, pirates, pirates, pirate leaders, pirate kings, level one to six, and become the second level six military system except for the level six "Nord" infantry in the Nord Kingdom. Although the actual combat power is probably similar to that of the level five soldiers of other kingdoms, and the promotion is even more difficult, this is still a breakthrough change.

Nabar's dream of establishing a pirate kingdom outside the sea was not purely unfounded random thoughts. If he had enough luck, he might really have the possibility of watching the establishment of a pirate kingdom throughout his life... Unfortunately, this world did not give him luck.

The tide of light and darkness, destruction and rebirth is about to come. Nabar, the dream of a pirate kingdom, is as ridiculous as bubbles in the sea in front of this tide.

Zhu Peng knew, but he did not tell Nabar. Instead, he used this as a guide to convince the other party to fight for him.

Today, a very important reader told me that the plot was progressing too slowly, so I changed it all day and deleted some unnecessary plots. The update was a little late. I forgive me.
Chapter completed!
