Chapter 322 Pirate Attack

The dwarves were all drunk that night, and then they all stayed in the baron's mansion. 【】Roger soon discovered that it would be a disaster for dwarves to live in the baron's mansion.These guys are tired for days, and then they get so drunk that they snore like thunder when they go to bed.One dwarf snoring in his sleep was scary enough, but it was even more terrifying when forty or so dwarves snored together.Even the thick door of the baron's mansion couldn't stop the loud noise, and Roger couldn't sleep at all due to the repeated snoring.

But Roger can't drive the dwarves away because of this.After all, he was so tired to help him build a crossbow bed, and Roger couldn't do the thing of picking up the bowl to eat meat, and putting down the bowl to scold his mother.Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Roger decided to take a stroll outside to see how the town was on guard at night.

Tonight is the day of the double full moon in the continent of Em.The two empty moons sprinkled light down the earth without hesitation, and the cold moonlight illuminated the roads in Kent Town with white flowers, and there was not even a single person on the street.

Of course, the Kent Town in the past was not like this. As the town became more and more prosperous, there would still be many pedestrians on the street even at night.But recently, in order to guard against the sneak attack of pirates, Roger issued a curfew order, prohibiting ordinary people from going out at night, which is why the town looks so calm at night.

Roger had just walked not far before he was discovered by the security guards patrolling at night.These young people immediately surrounded Roger quickly, and he nodded secretly, it seemed that Chris's hard training for them recently was really fruitful.

"Leader... my lord!" The leading guard soon realized that he was surrounded by the lord, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "I'm sorry, we didn't know it was you..."

"Don't say I'm sorry." Roger patted the young man carelessly and said, "You guys are loyal to your duties, you did a good job! Go on."

Roger's praise pleased the guards who thought they would be scolded. They excitedly gave a military salute to the lord, and then continued their patrol in a neat line.

When Roger came to the entrance of the town, Bonnie, who had already spotted him, also greeted him.It was the female knight's turn to be on duty tonight. Standing in front of Roger in full armor, she asked in a slightly surprised voice, "Why are you here?"

"How can I bear my Bonnie to spend this long night alone?" Roger said with a smile on his face, "That's why I came here to accompany you!"

"Slick tongue!" Although the female knight said so on the surface, it can be seen that she is actually quite happy.The two of them boarded the wall near the town gate together, looking at the moonlit wilderness outside the town, immersed in the quiet scenery for a while, and neither of them spoke.

After a while, Anna said softly, "How beautiful, I was not happy that you came to Kent Town to be the lord, but now I think it's very good here."

Roger nodded and said, "Yeah, it's not bad here, it would be even better if no one came to trouble me."

The female knight nodded to express her agreement with Roger. Just when she was about to say something, Roger suddenly changed his face and said in a low voice: "The pirates are coming!"

Since the attack on Kent Town, Roger has been sending Hippogryphs to patrol the sky over Kent Town and the surrounding areas day and night.Because the enemies are pirates, there are more Hippogryphs standing guard on the sea.At this time, it was one of the furthest hippogryphs that sent a message to Roger, telling him that a large number of ships had been found on the sea.

Of course, Bonnie also knew about the Hippogryph, and knowing that what Roger said must be true, she hurriedly asked nervously, "I'm going to call the police now!"

"Okay, I'll leave a team of soldiers to help you guard Kent Town!" Roger nodded immediately, "I'll go to the small island off the coast to snipe the landing of these guys."

As soon as Roger finished speaking, a group of soldiers appeared within the walls of Kent Town.These soldiers include crossbowmen, heavy spearmen and bust swordsmen, which are the standard arms equipment for defensive operations.

Since the establishment of the advanced barracks, all soldiers have a primary intelligence.Roger only gave them the order to "hold the town", and the soldiers immediately launched into action.They soon marched up to the wall in detachments, and made preparations to fend off the invading enemy.Several heavy crossbowmen came to the crossbow bed that had already been placed in place, and began to tighten the bowstring to adjust the targeting system on it, making the final preparations before shooting.

At the same time, Bonnie also rang the alarm bell, and the crisp bell woke the entire town of Kent from sleep.Because they recently witnessed the Lord Lord's efforts to strengthen the town's defense capabilities, the townspeople were not too scared, and they all went to the designated place according to the prior arrangement to help guard the safety of the town.

Seeing that all the defensive work in Kent Town had begun in an orderly manner, Roger, who was relieved, jumped off the high wall without hesitation.

"Be careful!" At the moment Roger jumped off the wall, Bonnie's reminder sounded behind him.Although it is only three words, it contains the deep affection of the female knight, which made Roger feel warm in his heart involuntarily.When he fell to the ground, he turned his head and waved to Bonnie, and ran towards the coast as fast as he could.

Several boats had been prepared on the shore, and Roger lightly jumped into one of them, and tapped the water with a long wooden stick, and the boat quickly slid to the small island not far from the shore.

With Roger's current strength, it doesn't take too long to go to the island with a boat.He soon came to the island and ran towards the side of the island facing the sea.

When Luo Jie sent out to eliminate the orcs, he asked Eddie to find someone to build a villa for him on the island.Although work has been suspended recently in order to prevent pirates, the achievements of previous work are still very obvious.A pier has been built on the side of the island, and a road extends from the pier to the highest point of the island where the Altar of Storms used to be, and then leads to the beach on the other side.The first floor of the villa has also been completed. Although the current appearance is still very rough, it can be considered to be in its infancy, and it is really close to Roger's original design.

But right now Roger didn't have time to care about the extent of the villa. He quickly ran past the ordinary villa and came to the seaside on the side of the island facing the open water.

Under the moonlight, the calm sea was shimmering, and there was no sign of a crisis at all.However, Roger knew very well that there were nearly a hundred ships, large and small, approaching rapidly just below the horizon.With the help of the Hippogryph's eyes, Roger has even been able to see that the same flag is hung on the mast of every ship, a dragon that is breathing fire.

Borrowing the breeze on the sea, the pirate fleet braved the wind and waves and sailed towards the direction of Kent Town. It didn't take long for Roger on the small island to see many sails appearing on the sea level, and the dense number was amazing.

The pirates are finally here!
