Rise of the Empire Total War

On the vast ocean, a merchant ship full of cargo is sailing peacefully.

This is a merchant ship from the continent of Zane, and it can be seen directly from the flag hanging on the sloop—this kind of flag with a wolf head on a blue background can only be used by merchant ships registered in the stronghold of the continent of Zane by the Republic of Ansmara. use.

However, this flag could not protect the safety of the merchant ship, and it was still stared at by hungry wolf eyes without reliable protection.

"Your Excellency Jill, the war between the Republic and the natives of Zane is in full swing. Why did you suddenly decide to leave the army and return home?"

On the sunlit deck, there are not only busy sailors, but also guests chatting on the side of the ship—forgot to say, this merchant ship is not just for transporting goods. In the face of considerable shipping fees, it is impossible for a greedy captain to refuse others by boat.

"It's not what the family needs." The man called Jill looked a little helpless. He looked at the sparkling sea and complained: "I don't know what the old people in the family think. If we seize the opportunity, we may be able to gain a new territory on that continent, but as soon as I leave, I will lose everything."

"Perhaps something has changed in the country." The man continued, "I heard that the position of the honorable governor will be re-elected after a while, and all forces are about to move."

"Even so, what does it have to do with me? Simeon, I can gain more benefits by staying on the battlefield of Zane."

"Indeed..." Simeon nodded, and just halfway through speaking, his expression suddenly became weird. He stopped what he wanted to say, pointed at the three black spots that were galloping towards the sea level, and asked : "Jill, what are those three things?"

"what?"

Jill followed the trend and looked at the place he was pointing at. When he saw the three black dots, his heart tightened. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "That should be just a passing fleet..."

How unconvincing his words were, and less than a minute later, the sailors on the deck also discovered the three small boats rushing towards them. Although the other party had not yet expressed hostility, so many years of sailing experience made them Had to be vigilant.

"Ready to fight! Lift up the weapon boxes!"

The captain standing on the deck shouted loudly. Under his order, the sailors rushed into the cabin to lift out the wooden box containing the weapons. At the same time, the captain with long beards strode towards Jill and the two, with a heavy tone. Said: "Gentlemen, we may be in trouble, please go back to the cabin first."

"Is it really a pirate ship?" Jill asked with an ugly face.

"It's not clear yet, but it's very possible from this posture."

"Didn't it mean that all the pirates in the Shining Sea were wiped out?" Simeon questioned.

"That's just the Moore Pirates." The captain seemed a little irritable, and said in a bad tone: "Gentlemen, if you don't want to be drawn into a possible battle, please go to the cabin to hide."

Jill did not accept the captain's kindness, and he refused: "I am an officer of the Zane Continental Expeditionary Force of the Republic, and I think it is necessary for me to fight side by side with you."

"In this case, please go." After the captain finished speaking, he hurried to the weapon box regardless of their reactions. He would remind the two that it was only for the safety of the host and the guests. Since he didn't want to hide, he had no choice but to Let him go.

The tense atmosphere enveloped the entire merchant ship in an instant, and the sailors took up their weapons and stood on the side of the ship, watching with vigilance the three long and narrow dragon-head warships that gradually disappeared. Standing on the three dragon-head warships were tall and The extremely fierce person made the sailors feel fear immediately.

Just as the three dragon-headed warships were approaching the merchant ship, the sailors on board began to throw javelins and throwing axes at the people on the deck of the merchant ship.

Javelins and tomahawks with armor-piercing power whizzed and flew onto the deck of the merchant ship at close range. Although most of them just hit the side of the ship, a few unlucky ones were hit and fell on the deck screaming, blood gushing along out, dyed the deck red.

The sailors of the merchant ship who were attacked immediately realized that they had encountered pirates, and quickly started to fight back. The deck of the merchant ship was much higher than that of the dragon head warship, so the sailors were able to shoot from a high position, and they shot and killed many Weiwei at once. Beijing Sailor.

However, the Vikings were not willing to be beaten. The three dragon-headed warships continued to move forward, directly sticking to the side of the merchant ship, and then dozens of hook ropes made by special methods were thrown onto the deck. Climbed up to the enemy's javelin and shouted slogans.

When the Vikings boarded the deck of the merchant ship, bloody and tragic melee combat ensued.

"Kill them all!"

The first Viking sailor to climb onto the deck of the merchant ship roared loudly, and the terrifying battle ax in his hand directly slashed at the neck of a sailor in front of him. The skeleton in the sailor's body actually cut off his head, and blood gushed out instantly, almost dyeing this tall Nordic strongman into a bloody man.

Facing the attack of the vicious Vikings, the merchant sailors were powerless to resist. The terrifying battle axes wielded by the enemy could directly split the human body. Those who died in their hands hardly left their whole bodies and fell to the ground The dead body was fragmented, and the broken limbs and arms were mixed with blood and water floating on the deck.

Jill stared at all this dumbfounded, but her right hand holding the sword trembled unconsciously. Where did these pirates come from? Even the most savage aborigines on the continent of Zane are not as cruel as them!

"go to hell!"

Just when Jill was in a daze, with a loud noise, the tomahawk slashed at him. The ability cultivated in his military career in the Zane Continent made him roll to the side reflexively. Although he looked embarrassed, he still Saved my life. He hurriedly got up from the bloody deck and watched the enemy attacking him vigilantly, but the long sword in his hand slashed at the enemy's right hand that had not yet been retracted. The right arm of the Viking sailor was broken, and the latter screamed and covered his broken arm. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jill's long sword stabbed out again, and immediately pierced the Viking sailor's heart.

Before he had time to rejoice that he had killed an enemy, Jill was shocked to find that the sailors on the entire merchant ship had been slaughtered, and the only ones who could resist were him and the captain near the cabin.

"I seem to be doomed to die in this vast sea!" Jill cried out unwillingly.
