Chapter 883 – Closing the Door and Hitting the Dog
Just as Ouyang Shuo and his group reached Friendship City, within the Somalia Imperial City Mogadishu, a conversation was taking place between the king and his officials.
The Somalia King was playing with a bunch of agate in his hand, and his eyes expressed an unclear intent as he said, “The Sky Wolf Pirate Organization should be in Friendship City now, right?”
The military affairs officials laughed, “The news that just came in said that they have reached the outer city.”
“Is that so? Farrah actually has some ability.” After pausing for a while, the king suddenly asked, “Has the reinforcements of the Great Xia arrived?”
“There’s temporarily no news, but with their reaction speed, they would definitely arrive on time.”
The Somalia King nodded, and the smile on his face grew thicker and thicker.
When the military affairs official saw that, he let out a sinister smile, “The king is wise, not telling Farrah about the Friendship City teleportation formation. This time, no matter if Sky Wolf Pirate Organization manages to crush Friendship City or if it’s the other way around, it will be beneficial to us.”
‘Hahaha!’ the Somalia King laughed out loud.
…
Friendship City, City Lord’s Manor.
Ouyang Shuo causally strolled into the manor, taking charge of the backlines while the frontlines fought an intense battle.
Friendship City was located in a basin and surrounded by mountains on three sides, while the remaining side faced the ocean. Shi Bao led the 3rd division of the Boulder Legion out of the south gate, one east and one west up north.
Rushing all the way, the smoothly took down both gates in half an hour.
Shi Bao left half of his forces to defend both city gates while the rest of his forces continued up north toward the north gate. While they passed Courage Port, they were finally noticed by the pirates.
Farrah was really cunning and also cherished his life. Even though they had already attacked into the outer city, close to 10 thousand pirates were still at the port, and they were ready to retreat at any moment.
As for Farrah, he did not even get off the ship and was still waiting at the port.
Seeing Shi Bao’s forces, the pirates still thought it was the Garrison Division, and they mocked, “Look at these people. Are they so afraid that they are trying to board a ship and escape?”
“It must be. What a bunch of cowards.”
“Let’s go brothers. Do not let them escape. The boss said we will wash Friendship City with blood today.”
“Wash Friendship City with blood!”
The pirates cheered as they surrounded them; they truly knew no fear.
When Xu Chu who was traveling alongside Shi Bao saw that, he grinned, “General Shi, go lock down the north city gate. Leave these random fishes to us.”
“Okay!”
Xu Chu waved his machete forward and shouted out, “Kill!”
“Kill!”
The three thousand Divine Martial Guards all whipped out their T1 Type Tang Blades and charged forward.
At this moment, the pirates finally noticed that something was not right, and they muttered, “That’s not right, are they here to commit suicide?”
“Who cares; let’s just kill them first!”
“That’s right; let’s kill them!”
“Kill!”
The successive victories had gotten to the heads of the pirates, and their heads had swelled so much that they did not even know their own names.
In a short while, both sides clashed.
Right as they came into contact, the pirates were filled with regret and knew that they were kicking a steel wall. Compared to the Garrison Division, the enemy in front of them was just too brutal. With a swing of their blades, a head would often roll.
In terms of killing, they were much more brutal than the pirates.
On the contrary, their counterattacks seem comical, and their attacks that looked fierce often could not even get close to the enemy.
What they did not know was that every Divine Martial Guards soldier had exceptional skills and nimble bodies.
In less than half an hour, the 10 thousand pirates were crushed by the three thousand Divine Martial Guards.
Some smart ones had sneaked back to the port and got ready to leave.
The pirates were feeling depressed. On the other hand, Xu Chu was hesitating. Ending the random fishes was not much for them. What Xu Chu wanted was the big fish, the pirate leader.
Looking out, the entire port was filled with pirates, but they just could not find someone who looked like their leader. Seeing that some pirates were about to leave, Xu Chu got anxious.
Xu Chu turned his machete. Knocking with the back of his blade, he subdued a pirate and nearly knocked him out. Using his huge left hand to grip his collar, he demanded, “Speak, where’s your leader?”
That pirate was pitiful. Facing a menace like Xu Chu, he felt giddy. Being terrified by his loud voice, he did not dare to hesitate and quickly said, “He’s still on the ship.”
“What!”
Xu Chu was furious. He pushed with his left hand, forcing the pirate to sit on the ground. How would he dare to stay? He rolled to his feet and ran away.
He did not dare to stay in such a place.
Xu Chu did not bother about the small fish. Looking out at the ocean surface, he only saw merchant ships in flames and smoke bellowing. It seemed like they could not be saved.
On the shore, there were many merchants. Looking at their blazing ships, they felt like crying but no tears rolled down.
In the middle of the ships, there was a giant sailing boat that was the most eye-catching. It was probably the pirate flagship. Helplessly, the Divine Martial Guards did not know how to sail, and there was nothing he could do about it.
The depressed Xu Chu could only turn his anger to the pirates on the shore.
…
While Xu Chu was looking out at the ocean, Farrah also noticed what was happening on the shore.
Through the telescope, he saw what was happening, and it sent a chill down his spine. His uneasiness grew more and more intense. Looking at the dressing of the Divine Martial Guards, his heart totally turned cold.
A year ago in Somalia, Farrah had seen the Divine Martial Guards, so he recognized them right away. For the Great Xia Dynasty’s Divine Martial Guards to appear here, the meaning was really obvious.
“**, we’ve been played.” Farrah was furious.
The Sky Wolf Pirate Organization was naturally the local snake in the water. However, on shore, it was different. With the cover of Friendship City, Farrah had no way to find out about the teleportation formation.
One small slipup would result in total defeat.
Farrah was a decisive person. He knew that he could not stay here; he had to leave. But thinking back to the hardships of the past year and the things he accumulated that were lost in a day, his heart bled.
“Friendship City, I will be back.”
Both of Farrah’s eyes were red as he gritted his teeth and ordered the pirates to leave. As for the matter with the Somalia royal family, he would deal with it after he escaped.
Xu Chu, who was on the shore, was focusing on what was happening on the ocean. Seeing the pirate flagship start sailing, he knew that he probably could not complete the king’s mission.
The pirates on shore were not stupid. Seeing their boss want to escape, they all wished they had four legs as they all ran faster than rabbits.
Unfortunately, they were not as lucky as Farrah.
With their leader escaping, the biggest contribution was gone. Xu Chu naturally needed to make up for it. If he let these small ones leave, he would not be called Xu Chu.
“Where are you going!”
Xu Chu led his men and charged to the side of the docks, turning around, “Anyone who dares to take a step will be killed!”
“Kill!”
Along with Xu Chu, the Divine Martial Guards spread out. Their killing aura was evident.
When the pirates saw that, their faces turned ashen white, and they knew that they had no way out. In truth, they were already terrified by the Divine Martial Guards. They exchanged glances and all surrendered.
“Spare us! Spare us!”
Speaking of which, pirates had no morals. As long as they could live, they would do anything.
“Hen!”
When the merchants on the port saw the fierce pirates leave, all of them came out of hiding to thank the Divine Martial Guards.
Xu Chu could not accept it, “Do not thank us. Go see if the ships can be saved.”
“Yes general!”
The hearts of the merchants were feeling pained. After thanking them, they summoned their sailors to try to save the ships.
As the capital of trade, Friendship City was also one of the important points on the voyage trade route, and there were hundreds of merchant ships that would come to Courage Port.
This time, the merchants had suffered heavy losses because of the pirates. Apart from accepting it, the merchants could not find anyone to compensate them and could only blame their own luck.
…
By the time Xu Chu dealt with the pirates, Shi Bao and his troops had already locked up the north city gate.
With that, the four gates were locked up, and the pirates inside had no way out.
Shi Bao ordered, “Send the signal!”
“Yes general!”
‘Xiu!’ A red signal bullet rose up into the air.
When Shihu in the city saw that, he waved his message flag, “Push forward!”
“Kill!”
The 1st and 2nd divisions of the Boulder Legion were like beasts released from a cage as they fearlessly killed their way to the frontlines. All of the sudden, the pirates were caught off guard.
Under the charge of the Heavy Armored Mountain Barbarian Infantry Division, the pirates were forced back.
“What’s the situation? Where did the reinforcements come from?” The second leader in charge of the Sky Wolf Pirate Organization frowned and ordered, “Quickly inform the leader, the frontline situation has changed!”
“Yes!”
In less than 20 minutes, the pirate in charge of sending the message returned.
The second leader was furious, “Why are you back so fast?”
The messenger pirate stammered, “Sec- Second leader, it’s no good, the city gate is blocked.”
“What?”
The second leader felt his heart sink.
