Chapter 43 Bloody Battle at the Dock

Gavin stood at the port, full of emotion about the actions of the Black Shark "Earl".

He couldn't help thinking to himself: "He can put most of his strength on Bloodstone Island without worrying about the rebellion of those capricious pirates. His courage and confidence are really admirable."

Gavin knows how difficult it is to control people's hearts, especially when facing this group of profit-seeking and elusive pirates.

And the Black Shark "Earl" seems to have a unique way of controlling people, which can make his men still loyal when he leaves. If it were him, it would be difficult to do it.

The pirates in the city reacted quickly. After a while, the other side gathered a team of no less than 2,000 people and rushed to the port. Gavin was quite surprised after learning the number of the other side. He didn't expect that the pirates would choose to abandon the city and come out in full force. Soon Gavin figured it out. Controlling the port and the ship is equivalent to controlling the soft underbelly of these pirates. This is also the place that the other side must seize.

Originally, he expected to face only more than 1,000 pirates in the first battle, and planned to consume the enemy's manpower through the first battle, and then attack the city. But it's okay if everyone comes out, so let's do it in one battle.

Gavin quickly adjusted his tactics and ordered the soldiers to rely on the port's fortifications and the crossbows on the ship to shrink the formation.

As the pirate team approached. Gavin held the hilt tightly, his eyes were like torches, and his heartbeat accelerated. But he knew that he had to stay calm at this moment to win.

The pirates stopped outside the range of the crossbow, and then hurriedly began to organize the formation. Gavin watched intently, and was shocked in his heart that there were more than a hundred cavalry among them.

At this moment, a figure on horseback galloped towards Gavin's camp alone. Obviously, this was an envoy sent by the other side.

After all, for these pirates, the flag of the black shark "Earl" and the sudden appearance of the army, which seized the port by surprise, made them confused and fell into the clouds.

Gavin's eyes flashed, and as soon as he thought about it, a Blood Dragon Guard immediately rushed out of the formation and greeted the messenger.

The messenger was about to speak, but the Blood Dragon Guard had already raised the sword in his hand and chopped it down with great swiftness.

In an instant, the sword wind whistled, and both the man and the horse were instantly turned into broken flesh and blood under this fierce blow, which was horrible to look at.

This action instantly ignited the anger of the pirates on the opposite side. The crazy shouting was like a surging wave. Even at such a long distance, Gavin could hear it clearly.

The pirates quickly pressed towards the port like a surging tide. The heavy footsteps and shouts of killing were intertwined, making the air seem to become heavy.

The pirates gradually approached and slowly entered the range of the crossbow, but Gavin clenched his fists and did not order the arrows to be fired. His eyes were fixed on the enemy's movements, veins on his forehead bulged, and sweat slid down his cheeks.

Finally, after most of the enemy entered the range of the crossbow, Gavin roared at the top of his lungs: "Shoot!" In an instant, the crossbows on the ships docked at the port fired together. The crossbows were so powerful that huge crossbow arrows shot out with a whistling sound.

A crossbow arrow instantly penetrated the bodies of several people, forming several empty gaps in front of the enemy's camp, with blood splattering and broken limbs flying.

Some pirates were frightened by this horrible scene and their faces turned pale and their legs went weak; but some pirates were even more crazy, with bloodshot eyes, suddenly jumped out of the formation, and rushed towards Gavin desperately.

Although the pirates' formation suffered heavy damage from the attack of the crossbow arrows, they continued to press forward. When the distance entered the range of the bows and arrows, the pirates fired a rain of arrows head-on, and many of Gavin's soldiers and pirates were instantly shot and fell to the ground, with painful groans one after another.

At the same time, the enemy's cavalry launched a charge and rushed straight to the right side of Gavin's formation. Gavin's eyes were red, and he roared: "Form a formation, hold on! Whoever dares to retreat will be executed by the Blood Dragon Guard immediately!" After that, the 20 Blood Dragon Guards who were prepared in advance as the supervisor team drew their swords together, and the cold swords flashed coldly in the sun.

Finally, before the enemy cavalry reached the formation, the crossbow on the ship fired a second round. The huge impact and sharp arrows caused great damage to the cavalry, and their charge had to stop. Seeing this, Gavin raised his sword and shouted: "Everyone, charge!" The soldiers roared towards the enemy like wild horses, and the two sides fought together in an instant.

Gavin did not charge with the remaining Blood Dragon Guards, but held a longbow and calmly observed the battlefield from a distance. When he found that a pirate on the other side was very brave and forcibly broke through his formation, he quickly drew his bow and arrow, the bowstring made a "bang" sound, and the sharp arrow whistled out, shooting the enemy to death with one arrow.

When he found that the formation at a certain position was about to be captured by the enemy, he shot a flaming arrow, which exploded the moment it hit the enemy, and the huge impact force blew the surrounding enemies into a bloody mess.

As the battle became more and more stalemate, the strong pressure made some soldiers and pirates unable to help but retreat. The Blood Dragon Guards swung their swords without hesitation, and blood spurted out. The threat and fear brought by blood forced the soldiers to continue fighting the enemy to the death.

Both sides were bloodthirsty, and the soldiers and pirates roared. Every moment someone fell down, and the blood dyed the earth red. However, the opponent relied on the advantage in numbers and continued to pour in, forming a semi-encirclement trend for Gavin's army. At this time, several people on horseback came behind the formation of the other pirates.

Seeing several people on horseback at the back of the enemy's battlefield, Gavin concluded that there must be a pirate commander among them. With a flash of determination in his eyes, he immediately joined the battle charge. As he charged, the sword in his hand instantly ignited a blazing flame. The master-level flame blade can allow the long sword to continue to carry magical flames for an hour, which is enough to support the entire battle.

The Blood Dragon Guards behind him quickly surpassed Gavin. They plunged into the battlefield like emotionless killing machines. For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Under the effect of the flame blade, whether the enemy had armor or not, Gavin's flame sword could cut it with one sword, and all obstacles were like thin paper. The Blood Dragon Guards were even more unstoppable. Countless attacks from the enemy fell on them, but they could not stop them at all. They were made of corpses, and they did not know pain or fatigue.

Under the powerful impact of the Blood Dragon Guards, Gavin and his party were about to break through the enemy's formation. At this time, the opponent's commander was within the range of Gavin's flaming arrow. He immediately took the longbow handed over by the Blood Dragon Guard next to him, took aim, and shot a flaming arrow. Accompanied by a loud explosion, the horsemen were instantly blown into pieces, and the battlefield fell silent.
