Chapter 336: Night Attack on Jib Town
It takes about 10 days to reach Lakin Territory by land, because the two places are separated by the entire Jones Territory, and the road is not straight.
However, Gervis and others took a ship and sailed rapidly with the help of the sea breeze. It only took them a little more than three days, and they arrived at the outer sea of Lakin Territory at noon three days later.
It was already evening, and five ships were docked at a deserted island half an hour's sail from the coast.
Gervis and his companions arrived at this sea area at noon today. Because they did not know the specific situation of the target, and Gervis was not planning to plunder a small seaside village, when they arrived at noon, Ik had been sent by Gervis to go ashore to investigate the situation.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Gervis put down the book in his hand. Just as he was about to walk out of the captain's room to see if there was any news from Ike and others, there was a knock on the door.
Boom boom boom!
"Come in!"
"grown ups!"
The door of the captain's room was opened, and it was the captain who had just returned. Ike quickly came to Gervis's desk and bowed respectfully.
"Ike, how is the investigation going? Why is it so late?"
"Sir, there is indeed a huge dock in that Buji town. It is extremely busy and has several large ships docked in it."
"But the defense of this dock is also very strict. Next to the dock is a military camp surrounded by logs. There is at least a large group of coconut gold knights stationed inside, which should be more than a hundred people. I don't know the exact number of ordinary guards, but it must be more than fifty!"
Ike reported to Gervis what he had discovered in the afternoon.
"We originally wanted to sneak into the dock to learn about the craftsmen you mentioned, but since strangers are not allowed to approach the area, we were unable to find out more clearly. We had no choice but to ask in the tavern, and finally learned that the craftsmen usually lived in the dock and their residences were also in the dock. It was because of this that we came back a little late this time!"
"Ah! It seems that the Larkin family really values the dock. Very good! Ike, go have dinner first. There will be a big battle tonight!"
Ever since he heard from Lille that there was a shipyard in Gibb Town, Gervis chose this place as his first target. However, Gervis still didn't trust Lille at the moment, so he asked Ik and others to take the risk of disguising themselves and go to find out the situation. Now it seems that the situation is indeed as Lille said, with basically no difference.
…
night.
Because it is autumn now, the rainfall has decreased significantly. Tonight is another clear night. The bright moon and stars on the sea fill the sky, and the gentle sea breeze is simply beautiful. However, it is obvious that for people who live by the sea who can see these scenes every day, this is the most common scene, and it is not as comfortable as sleeping.
As the location of the shipyard, Jib Town certainly has a pier. Although this pier is small, it can accommodate dozens of ships. However, it is the summer grain harvest season recently, so many ships have left the port and are busy.
There is a watchtower at a corner of the dock, which is five or six meters high. The guard on duty is curled up and dozing off on the fence. This is an important shipyard for the Lakin family, and there is a large group of Coconut Gold Knights behind it. The guards are confident that no one will be so blind as to come and attack here.
However, what the guards could not have imagined was that such a blind person would come slowly in this beautiful night.
In the sea outside Jib Town, there were five ships heading silently towards Buji Town. They were Gervis who was preparing to carry out his revenge plan.
Phuket Town was chosen as the location of the shipyard, and the water depth was naturally deep enough for ships to dock. Gervis' five ships had long since turned off all their lights, and under the cover of night they had already approached the pier to within a hundred meters.
The night sky was completely silent, with only the sound of waves crashing.
Crunch...Boom!
At noon, the ship that Gervis was on arrived at the shore first. Because of its high speed, it instantly crashed into the wooden bridge of the pier, making a dull thud.
"Go ashore! Go ashore quickly!"
The sound of landing was not light at all, and it almost woke up the dozing guard on duty.
"Who the hell is this! Whose boat is not tied properly again!"
After being woken up, the guards were filled with unhappiness, because such things happened from time to time. Some small fishing boats were also parked near the dock, and because they were not tied properly, they would occasionally crash into the dock due to the impact of the waves, making such a dull sound.
Although he was angry, the guard still stood up now that he was awake, rubbing his eyes and looking towards the sea.
But this sight frightened the guard who was about to continue dozing off. He saw that at the dock not far away, several large ships had docked. With the help of the night light, the guard could see a steady stream of soldiers getting off the ships. These people were wearing armor, and the iron plates of the armor were so conspicuous under the reflection of the bright moonlight.
"Oh no, something terrible has happened! There are enemies!
This thought flashed through the guard's mind, and he began to frantically look for the rope in front of him.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Enemy attack... uh..."
The guard finally touched the rope of the alarm bell and quickly rang the bronze bell. In an instant, the shrill bell sound pierced the night sky.
Perhaps because he was too anxious, the guard stood up and shouted loudly after ringing the alarm. However, he stood upright for too long. Just two breaths later, the guard's shouting stopped abruptly because a powerful arrow had pierced his neck, preventing him from making any sound.
"Laurie, you are responsible for leading people to set fires everywhere!"
"Lord Nathan, you are responsible for leading the attack on the dock gate!"
"Father, come with me, let's go to the barracks of the Coconut and Gold Knights and ambush them!"
"Ike, lead the way!"
"kill!"
As the alarm bell sounded, Gervis no longer concealed anything and quickly assigned everyone to carry out their respective tasks according to the original plan. Then he followed Ik and rushed into the dock.
The biggest obstacle to tonight's operation is the Coconut Gold Knights, so Gervis and others need to divide the work to carry out tonight's looting, and Gervis's main force is to deal with the Coconut Gold Knights. It would be best to wipe out the Coconut Gold Knights as soon as possible, and then there will be no threat in the entire town!
…
"What's going on?"
In the barracks next to the dock, Nem was awakened from his sweet sleep by the noise. He quickly pushed away the woman who was still pressing on his arm. Nem stood up, put on his clothes, and asked loudly outside.
"Captain, it looks like there are enemies at the dock. There's already a fire over there!"
"Damn it, how could there be enemies at the dock? I wonder if Wright would..."
Nem cursed loudly, saying that his place was the safest place in the Larkin Territory. The inland was the territory of the Larkin family, and the seaside was even safer. Wright was entrenched on an island dozens of miles overseas. Only they were planning to attack others, and no one was blind enough to dare to come to them. As the captain of a hundred men of the Coconut Gold Knights, Nem knew this very well.
"Wake up everyone! I want to see who is the blind person who came to cause trouble here!"
Knowing that he almost let out a secret about Wright, Nem immediately stopped talking and shouted orders to his men at the door.
Then Nem quickly put on his armor and prepared to go out.
"Sir...sir!"
"Baby, wait here for a while, I'll be back soon!"
Nem cast a fierce glance at the snow-white body of the woman in front of him, then opened the door and hurried away.
