Chapter 87 The long-awaited collision

New recruits from Miluo Island are training in an orderly manner.

They lived up to the reputation of Vigia mercenaries, had serious attitude and strong learning ability. Tony said that he had taught such an excellent recruit for the first time.

The indigenous warriors he was in charge of training had tortured him very much.

On the other hand, the maritime power of Miluo Island was led by Captain Parker, accompanied by Lake brothers, and he had been his bodyguard before Parker could completely tame these sailor crew members.

Parker sent all the pirate sailors recruited by Blackwater Island to small Clippers, and the pirate sailors were happy. The sailors needed on the four-masted ships and warships, with many crew members and stricter management, and they were not suitable for them who were free from nature and hated restraint.

Virgia's sailor crew are more accustomed to working with people from their hometowns who are familiar with each other. They can work together on the big ship and play a role of 112.

Considering that the Duke's leader might send large warships to attack, Pike led his fleet to temporarily moor on the back of the Miluo Island port, waiting for them to come to the island, and unexpectedly attacked from the rear and cut off their retreat.

Kenneth led a group of Vigia guys to train their pirates to fight the common use of Jump Gang.

Soon a week later, Link finally waited for the advance army led by the Duke in a conflicting mood.

On the one hand, he hoped that the army led by the Duke would arrive soon, and that it would be possible to prepare the next wave of Duke's army as soon as possible. He was made to live near the port every day by this late advance army, and dreamed that the ship led by the Duke's suddenly appeared.

On the other hand, he thought that the advance army would arrive later, so that the newly recruited Vigia recruits would train for a while. After all, the other party was a professional soldier and should be the strongest opponent Link had encountered so far. The two armies were inevitably injured and casualties were inevitable in the battle. Link did not want these Vigians who had just defected to him to lose their lives before the land began to harvest, which would make him feel very sad.

The towering whistle tower on the pier suddenly heard a rush of gongs, short and long.

Link looked up to the sea and there were a few masts vaguely undulating at the end of the sea level.

The warning sound from the mail tower represents the appearance of more than five four-masted ships.

In the waters near Miluo Island, except for the small rafts of the natives, all the four-masted ships that appeared here are not a good thing for Link, whether they are pirates or official forces of various countries.

"Line! Get ready to face the enemy!"

Just as the preview was performed during training, Varre shouted loudly as Vigia was in place.

Vigia in the "Main Life Group" was led by Vale, and the veteran Vigia mercenaries were in front of him, with about 500 people holding shields and holding axes to prepare for the battle.

Behind them is Vigia's "Mid-aged Group", an experienced long-range attack team, and two hundred experienced Vigia shooters will let the other party experience the taste of arrow rain.

Finally, there were Frank's mountain crossbowmen and Vigia's Youth Group' recruits led by Tony. They were hiding in a bush of dense forest not far from the dock, and served as reserve forces with the trembling indigenous soldiers led by Carl.

Link has already pulled out all his strength.

‘Whoever is stronger and who is weaker, let’s touch you!’

Seeing the masts on the sea level gradually rising, Link calmed down and waited for the battle.

.

Sir Edgar, who stood at the bow of the flagship, had sharp eyes and found a white steep whistle on the Miluo Island Pier from a distance.

"It seems we can't hit them by surprise."

However, this was also within his expectations. If the other party had no defense, this action to clear the traitors would not bring him any sense of accomplishment.

"I hope they will be opponents with resistance, otherwise it will seem too boring."

Sir Edgar looked at the busy figure under the mail tower in the distance with a proud look. As the commander who was worthy of the Duke, he was already thinking about what happened after the victory.

"I heard that Old Bob embezzled a lot of money through the sugar trade. I don't know how much stolen money will be found later."

Sir Edgar thought it was a great deal of effort to lead the team this time. He could save Edward Louis and make a good impression in front of the Duke's Pavilion. He could also make a fortune. In everyone's eyes, this is really a fat man.

"Send the order and fight quickly! I will hold a celebration banquet in the manor on the island before dark!"

He looked at the setting sun gradually setting and ordered to the adjutant.

.

Soon, the Duke's fleet approached the dock.

The fleet consists of five four-masted battleships and two troop cargo ships.

Under the orders of Sir Edgar, the warships used the crossbows on the ship to scatter the fire, and instantly gathered fire to destroy several unmanned fishing boats parked at the dock like a demonstration.

Link had the foresight to let the team gather in the open space behind the sentry tower, which was far away from the crossbow range of the Duke's warships, but it could not prevent the Duke's soldiers from landing.

Looking at the phalanx gathering in the distance, Sir Edgar couldn't help but feel a little solemn: "It seems like a commander of some level."

The shield-holding infantry stood in front and behind, and the archers should be standing. The military formation was rigorous and there was no turmoil. After this operation, no matter which country on the mainland could be considered a qualified commander.

Yes, a qualified commander's standard is so low.

Commanders of various countries are more inclined to cultivate elite troops, especially cavalry construction, and command an elite cavalry unit. They only need to charge, charge, and then charge, and they will most likely win.

If you are commanding an ordinary infantry unit and facing the cavalry charge, you may be defeated in one wave.

No matter how powerful the commander is, you have no choice but to face the defeated troops.

That is why the noble lords of various countries care so much about the status of the Knights and spend huge amounts of money to recruit vassals.

"If the information is wrong, why would the other side have so many archers? There are also differences in infantry forces."

Sir Edgar frowned and looked at the opposite side. The prepared Duke led a large army to form a square formation near the dock, corresponding to the Link army opposite.

However, seeing that most of the soldiers in the front row of the opponent were wearing old armor, the shields in their hands were of different shapes and uneven shapes. Only the row of soldiers in front were covered with iron armor.

"Has Old Bob squandered all the money?"

Although the opponent had an open force of about 700, Sir Edgar was not worried at all.

The garrison waited for a while, but the other party had no intention of attacking first. Sir Edgar couldn't help but become impatient, which was gradually distant from his plan to quickly fight.

So he ordered the adjutant to command the advance.

The military drummers on both sides of the military formation beat the drum beats in time, and the muscle memory trained for many years made the soldiers of the Duke leader march forward along the drum beats.

The infantry round shield wrapped in iron sheet and the refined iron sword were also covered with leather armor and key parts were covered with iron armor.
