A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Uptown is in chaos at the moment.

While all the masters here had left and the main force of the city guards had been transferred to the lower city, turmoil broke out among the slaves who had been oppressed for a long time.

They picked up iron bars, axes, and hoes and swarmed up, beating and killing the few city guards.

They broke open the doors of those gorgeous houses, poured in like a tide, hacked to death the guards who stayed behind, and snatched away their spears and swords.

The gold and silver belongings in the house were robbed, and even the gold foil decorated on the walls was scraped off.

Things that couldn't be moved were smashed into pieces, and that's not all. The hateful slaves even poured oil on the house and lit it on fire.

The raging flames burned in more than one place.

The team grew, and more and more slaves joined the riot.

Under the instigation of thoughtful people, these slaves, who had been completely dominated by passion, completely gave up thinking and just relied on instinct to vent their hatred, killing those who had oppressed them, and robbing a large amount of property in the house.

Seeing those people who were once high above them trembling under their feet, they were extremely happy.

However, this joy did not last long, a large number of soldiers had already arrived.

Because the river in the lower city was not large, large warships could not enter, so Seth could only leave it in the military port, and then took a small speedboat and sailed quickly along the river from the lower city to the upper city.

At the pier in the upper city, small speedboats moored one after another, and whole boats of soldiers poured out of the boats.

Seeing the scene of wars raging in the city, Seth was not in a hurry to lead the vanguard to directly exterminate the slaves.

He first stood still until all the soldiers under his command came ashore and formed a neat team, then he waved his hand and gave the order.

He divided the soldiers into two parts, formed an array, and swept them in different directions.

As soon as the regular army arrived, the slaves who were still happily burning, killing and plundering immediately became silent.

At the beginning, they killed the city guards and the guards in the house with all their strength, relying on their numerical advantage to swarm them forward.

However, their numerical advantage was of no use against the strong regular troops armed with sharp-edged bucklers, wearing tough leather armor, and undergoing long-term training.

When the soldiers formed an array and came towards them in a tacit understanding, just by meeting each other, the group of slaves who had gathered together were killed and instantly defeated.

The war was one-sided.

"I told you that Tozes's soldiers would be tripped up!"

The slaves who had been so obsessed with killing and robbing them not long ago finally came to their senses at this moment.

"Those guys lied to us!"

"They're not going to help us!"

"Those guys are just using us-"

But now, it was impossible to escape, and it was even less possible to resist the regular army. Soon, the rioting slaves were suppressed by Seth's troops.

However, when the battle was about to end, Seth did not have any happy look on his face.

Because at this moment, he was standing in the upper city on the high ground, overlooking the sea area in the lower city at a glance.

Seth felt a bang in his head, making him dizzy.

He saw the densely packed pirate ships surging from the horizon——

Tozes City is in danger!

…………

"No...why is this happening?"

Bertola, whose legs and feet were weak and who relied on the help of a servant to keep from falling, looked at the group of incoming pirate ships with a pale face, a look of disbelief on his face.

"Obviously the appointment was made at night, at night, why do they have to say hello to us now...even if they have to do it in advance..."

"This is an act, yes, it's just an act. Soon they will pretend to be defeated and leave Tozes... Yes, it must be like this..."

He kept mumbling, looking dull, mumbling to himself.

Not only him, but also several big businessmen with him looked very ugly.

For a long time, in the eyes of the big businessmen in Tozes, those pirates were just a bunch of dogs they raised.

Give it a few more bones and it will be obedient, so it's easy to use.

They would never have thought that the dog that behaved extremely well in front of them would actually turn out to be a hungry wolf that would turn on its owner.

And this bite slit their throats!

…………

The rain was still falling, but it wasn't as heavy as it was at the beginning. It was much lighter, and it just kept pattering non-stop.

This is not a good thing for the city of Tozes. The stormy sea makes it difficult for ships to move. Heavy rain will hinder the movement of pirate ships, but light rain like now will not have any impact on the ship.

On the sea that had turned into dark blue, countless warships flying pirate flags were surging like wolves. In just a short time, they arrived at the coast of Tozes City.

Under the high city wall on the coast of Tozes, densely packed pirate ships surround the place.

The Tozes naval warship, which was moored on the other side for the ceremony, was blocked by a pirate ship that suddenly intervened. Although the military port was right in front of them, it was blocked by countless pirate ships and could not return.

Moreover, rather than saying that they were blocked, it was better to say that they had been firmly surrounded by pirates.

After all, the numbers of these two fleets were false, and they only selected good-looking warships for the ceremony. In terms of quantity, they could not compete with the pirates.

Seeing that his own fleet was surrounded by pirates, the naval commander Taka standing on the bow was livid.

His originally gorgeous military uniform was soaked through, and the cumbersome decorations were hanging down wetly. His hair, which was neatly combed on both sides, was also stuck to his forehead, making him look quite embarrassed.

"Basha!"

He gritted his teeth and stared at the largest pirate warship with three rows of oars, his eyes almost bursting with fire.

To be able to sit in the position of commander of the navy, in addition to the large financial support of his brothers, his own abilities are not bad.

At this point, he would not be like his brother who only knew how to calculate money, thinking that the pirates just got the time wrong or acted without consulting them - looking at the situation in front of him, he knew very well that they were raising money. The wolf cub has rebelled!

The sea breeze roared past, making his chest feel cold.

Taka looked at the military port in the distance. The gate that was always tightly closed was now open, defenseless.

Although the gate is slowly lowering and closing with the efforts of the few remaining soldiers in the military port, it is difficult to open and close the huge and heavy gate. Depending on the time, it may be too late.

What makes Taka even more panicked is that at this moment, there is no combat power in the military port that can resist the invading pirates.

If Seth still stays in the military port...

Taka gritted his teeth.

But Seth was sent out.

Those who participated in the ceremony were unwilling to let the city guards leave for their own safety. In order to suppress the troublesome slaves as soon as possible, he issued an order for Seth to lead troops to the upper city.

The huge military port was deserted.

Although several large warships stayed in the military port because they could not sail into the city, without soldiers, the warships were useless.

However, Taka is now focused on the military port that is about to fall.

Ahead, a large ship was riding the wind and waves, slamming into him at maximum speed.

His warship was surrounded, and it was close to the coast. The space was small and there was no way to escape.

Hearing a loud roar, the shark-shaped bronze head of the pirate ship's bow slammed hard into the hull of the warship he was on.

The hull of the violent impact shook violently, causing him to stumble and almost lose his balance.

Before it stopped, there was another bang, and another pirate ship crashed into it.

Ropes with hooks flew over and hung on the edge of the ship. Those vicious pirates either climbed into the hull from the junction of the ship's hulls or climbed the ropes.

They wielded their machetes and slashed at the soldiers on the boat.

At first, the soldiers could resist for a while, but waves of pirates came one after another like a tidal wave.

It didn't take long for most of the soldiers on the ship to be killed. The remaining people were so frightened that they gave up resistance and were captured without mercy.

The other warships were almost all besieged by more than two or three pirate ships at the same time. They were isolated by the pirates and had to fight on their own. They could only fall one after another.

In the end, all the warships fell into the hands of the pirates, and Taka, the commander, was tied up and brought to the pirate leader Basha.

The thick-bodied pirate leader stood carelessly on the deck, holding a big red apple in his hand. He was soaked in the drizzle, showing his golden front teeth and chewing on it one by one. He looked at the man kneeling at his feet with a nonchalant look on his face. of taka.

The attendant next to him looked at the soaked and embarrassed Taka with a contemptuous sneer on his face.

When they met before, the naval commander who considered himself noble and disdained the conversation with pirates always had a arrogant look on his face, as if looking at them one more time would stain his eyes.

Fuck you.

He didn't know how much he was cursing like this in his heart.

If you think you're noble, don't cooperate with pirates.

Although their pirates burned, killed and looted, at least they were evil and aboveboard. They were much better than these sanctimonious guys who ate human flesh and drank human blood and thought they were noble.

Lying in embarrassment at the feet of the pirate he once looked down upon, Taka felt extremely humiliated.

He raised his head sharply and stared at Basha fiercely.

He growled: "Basha, you are betraying!"

His voice was hoarse at this moment, almost forced out of his throat.

As the leader of pirates in this area, Basha always seems to be a carefree person, but no one dares to underestimate him on the sea.

His eyes were very small, like slits, with some whites showing through the slits, giving people a naturally sinister look.

When Taka growled at him, he glanced at Taka, then spat the apple core onto Taka's forehead.

"Aha? Honorable Lord Taka, what are you talking about? Betrayal?"

Taka was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that he had been spat on by the pirate, he was instantly furious, staring at Basha with eyes that were about to burst into flames.

He opened his mouth to curse, but before he could speak, the booted foot fell from the sky and stepped on the back of his head, slamming his head onto the wooden floor.

"Betrayal of your head——"

Stomping on Taka's head, Basha looked at the person under his feet with contempt.

"Please make it clear to me, you are a navy and I am a pirate. How the hell are you telling me that I betrayed you?"

He clicked his tongue and tossed the half-eaten apple away.

"I thought these guys under me were stupid enough, but I didn't expect there would be anyone even stupider than them."

His head was stepped on the ground by the pirates, and the huge feeling of humiliation made Taka tremble all over.

The anger that was about to get out of control almost made him curse regardless, but his reason allowed him to hold back.

He gritted his teeth.

Wait.

he thought fiercely.

As long as he lives, he has a chance.

He now tolerates these guys who humiliate him.

As long as he returns to Tozes...he swears that he will make these pirates pay a heavy price for insulting him today!

…………

Upon hearing the news that the entire naval fleet had been annihilated, the city of Tozes was instantly in chaos.

Countless people began to pack their bags and prepare to flee the city.

Amidst the chaos and under the gloomy sky, the city of Tozes stood quietly on the coast.

The pirates were closing in on it.

A tragic massacre is about to occur in this prosperous city.
