Chapter 1171: One Against Ten

The pirate group's move was within everyone's expectations.

But it was also caught off guard.

Just as these six hundred Goshawk team members had finished setting up their defenses in the Howard village.

The pirate group's sneak attack officially began.

If there were a live broadcast feed at this moment, this would be a textbook tower defense game.

This pirate group mobilized three thousand men directly, with great momentum.

In terms of momentum, it was indeed startling. A vast, swarming mass, it was still somewhat terrifying when they charged over. Unfortunately, pirates are just pirates; to put it bluntly, they are a group of rabble gathered together. These people commit all kinds of evil every day, burning, killing, and looting. Although they don't blink when killing, after burning, killing, and looting, they start eating, drinking, and having fun, hollowing out their bodies. They have no military training at all. Although they look very fierce, I fear that a single burly man would be unable to defeat a thin soldier from the Goshawk team in a one-on-one fight.

"Kill!"

"Plunder!"

"Hahahaha, brothers, let's do this! Once we finish this job today, we're out of here!"

The pirate group was naturally not stupid.

They had made investments in Australia, but in their estimation, the Howard Family had even more wealth!

So, pull off a job tonight, and who cares what happens to Australia...

It would be best to pull off a job here at Howard's, then run off to pull another job at other wealthy people's places; wouldn't that be wonderful?

People like them are better suited to wandering the world, not playing some city-building game here.

Duyanlong became excited at the thought, waving the Giant Axe in his hand, with a bunch of lackeys following by his side. This pathetic pirate group didn't even have a single War Horse. They had run all the way from the territory they were in...

Even their running formation was a complete mess.

The Howard village, meanwhile, was on full alert.

This was the famous pirate group from the Atlantic Ocean! These British were all scared silly. They said they'd come, and they just came? It was said long ago, don't flaunt your wealth, don't flaunt your wealth...

The six hundred members of the Goshawk team.

Watched the arrival of the other side coldly.

This is it?

Three thousand people?

The captain of this team gave a cold smile.

If this was that famous pirate group from the Atlantic Ocean, then being a pirate would be too easy, wouldn't it? Is money really that easy to earn these days?

Look at this formation first; it has no order at all.

A bunch running in front, a bunch following behind, and then a bunch straggling along even further back...

What did they come here to do?

The captain smiled and shook his head.

Don't look at the three thousand people on the other side; he didn't take them seriously at all.

Although they are pirates, their advantage lies in maritime combat, which is relying on their Warship to attack, and only then do these pirates follow up. This kind of land combat is indeed not suitable for them...

But...

This is too pathetic, right?

The captain saw that the people on the other side were getting closer and closer.

He calculated the time in his heart.

He calculated the distance.

"General, General, hurry up and fire!"

"Yeah!"

"Do we really have to wait for them to come over?"

"I think we should go out and fight them!"

"That's right, we can't just sit here and wait for death, General!"

The people on Howard's side were all getting anxious. Wasn't it supposed to be a rented army? Why is no one moving, and why must they wait for the other side to come over? There is countless wealth of theirs in this village! And besides, even without this wealth, wouldn't it be bad if those pots and pans were smashed? These are all their belongings!

The captain did not speak, still watching that group of pirates coldly.

Murderous and aggressive.

Regardless of how their strength is, their appearance—each one baring fangs and brandishing claws, teeth bared and mouth agape—was still full of murderous intent.

Because in their eyes, this Howard family was already fish on the chopping block.

They were going to stir up a storm in Australia!

They were going to take control of this ownerless land!

This wealthy Howard Family, possessing glory and riches, was naturally their first target!

Charge!

Kill!

"Brothers, don't leave a single one behind; we need to set a tone for the future of Australia!"

"Hahahaha, good!"

They felt that as long as they won this battle, they would be the bosses here.

However...

Reality did not give them the chance.

When they arrived one mile in front of the village.

The captain finally spoke.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

The six hundred soldiers, calm and unhurried, unleashed their muskets, cannons, and arrows, all prepared long ago, in this very instant.

In the night, flames erupted everywhere.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

This artillery fire, as if indiscriminate, began to appear within this one-mile radius.

"What the hell is that?"

The pirate leader, Duyanlong, was startled instantly.

It was not that he hadn't anticipated that the other side would have cannons.

But...

It is nighttime now!

In the middle of the night, how could these cannons be so precise? He had specifically chosen to come and launch a sneak attack at night precisely because he felt that this would hinder the line of sight and vision of the Artillery Cavalry. Duyanlong was not stupid; he knew that while his band of brothers looked fierce and menacing, once they left the sea, their combat effectiveness would naturally be greatly reduced.

Therefore, he had always been guarding against this aspect.

This made his formation look somewhat scattered, just to prevent being bombarded by artillery fire...

But he hadn't expected...

"Dodge, everyone dodge!"

"Find a safe place to take cover!"

No one had expected that the cannons on Howard's side would be so ferocious.

Wasn't it agreed that there were only three hundred people?

Could it be that all three hundred of these people were Artillery?

This is not scientific!

But...

Why would this artillery be so fierce!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Caught off guard all of a sudden, hundreds of people on the pirate group's side were directly blown to pieces!

Duyanlong was stunned with fear.

"What kind of ghost is this!"

"What is the situation! Everyone scatter, scatter!"

Pirates like them could usually only bully those Merchant Ships that had no combat effectiveness. Of course, they would also fight against the navies of some small countries, but what kind of decent things could those small countries have? It was already good enough if they had a few Warships that could sail without leaking.

Of course.

They had also crossed paths with major powers.

Such as powerful nations like Britain, Sweden, and the Netherlands. But how would they dare to mess with them? Upon seeing them, they would fire a shot and turn to run.

Where had they ever seen the combat effectiveness of these Longyan people?

Originally, they had come to probe this time...

But they hadn't expected...

This first encounter scared them!

Rumble, rumble!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Cannonballs, plus musket balls.

Overwhelming!

Incredibly precise!

Six hundred people, that is enough.

One person

fighting ten, right...

And there is a distance of one mile...

That is enough.

And the people of the Howard Family were all dumbfounded now.

This...
