Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 7 Chapter 8: Bloody Battle (Part 2)

"Kill—" Holding a shield and a one-handed axe in his hand, the Ross sailors under Christopher jumped onto the Venetian deck. Although the number of people was inferior, they chose to attack actively.

For a while, the Venetian sailors were also stunned by this sudden attack, and they didn't even react. This also caused the fierce and undaunted Ross fighters to suddenly make a gap in the crowd.

good chance!

Seeing the right time, Christopher saw the striker succeed and let his sailors swarm up. Since he was already in a dangerous situation, he had no choice but to take the risk of this beheading action. This sudden battle was to destroy the Venetian's command system, and the opponent's arrogance also happened to give Christopher the perfect opportunity. The boat was crowded in an instant, and both Venice and Genoa on the deck could no longer distinguish between the enemy and us, so they could only rely on their instincts to fight on the bumpy deck in the wind and rain.

On the sea, the fighting between the two sides became more and more fierce. Although occupying the advantage in numbers, the Venetians actually felt a little unbearable, because they were facing no enemy that could make them underestimate.

Under Christopher's careful selection over the past few years, these Ross people under him are also outstanding in the regular army. They are not only excellent sailors but also brave warriors on land. At this moment, the Venetians immediately realized that they had encountered hard stubble.

The blood was soaked in the sea water, even though the wind and rain washed over and over again, the pungent **** smell made people nauseous.

Suddenly, the Venetian sailors died and wounded countless, but even so, the Venetian did not appear to be distracted. Instead, they seemed to be retreating in an orderly manner, wanting to stop the formation again, and the Genoese side pressed hard. Go up, because they knew that the first time they hit the other side by surprise, the downside was not so easy. Between the two sides, they waved their weapons frantically to kill, sometimes mixed with dark arrows and cold crossbows, and the hand-to-hand combat became more fierce.

Ranieri Dandoro, who had witnessed all of this on the ship, still calmly refused the persuasion of Sien Venier beside him.

"Your Excellency Dandoro, it's too dangerous here. As a commander, you should be responsible to everyone in a safe place, instead of coming to the front line in person."

"Oh, do you? I don't think so, Mr. Vernier, in my opinion this is just a dying Genoese counterattack. If I don't stay here personally, it will affect morale. Since they took the initiative to send it to the door. , Then it’s okay, save me the trouble to identify the corpse."

Ranieri Dandoro sneered. In his opinion, his own numerical advantage can completely suppress the Genoese on the opposite side.

On the other side, watching the two parties on the ship slaying frantically, Antonia Doria suddenly said behind Christopher: "Today, many people will die because of my choice!"

But Christopher did not look at the girl behind, but calmly said: "Since you have chosen to be a chess player, you should have the consciousness of being a chess player. Don't hesitate to make a move. Antonia, although I don't know what happened. . But now that you have made a decision, I will abide by the entrustment that I promised your grandfather to give me. You don’t need to blame yourself for these. But what you need most now is to recognize what you did. What is it, boy!"

The old man sighed. In the past few years, he has been far away from the place of right and wrong in Genoa, but he has been secretly concerned about the brothers and sisters of Andrea and Antonia, but unknowingly he still finds that they are finally involved in hatred. In the whirlpool.

And he knew that no matter how he persuaded, he was destined to be unable to change anything, and the only thing he could do was to fulfill his original promise to the deceased as best he could.

...

...

...

The battle was still stalemate, and the blood on the battleship at this time had completely soaked the deck, and it even felt extremely sticky when stepped on it. This disgusting feeling was like being in hell. However, everyone was struggling to fight, and did not stop, even if he was tired of vomiting blood, he would vomit on the enemy.

But no one noticed that a man was walking on the ground in the crowd of fighting and melee. Everyone's eyes are dazzled, only knowing that they are waving their weapons to attack the enemy in front of them. But he easily avoided all attacks.

And his target is the Venetian commander-Ranieri Dandro. The opponent is standing on the high platform of the ship and directing the battle. It is like a living target, and if he can be assassinated in one fell swoop, he can definitely be killed in one fell swoop. Turn the whole situation around.

Silently, the assassin dispatched by Christopher passed through the crowd like a ghost without attracting anyone's attention. He did not live up to his master's expectations and was getting closer and closer to his goal. As long as he gets a few steps closer, he is ready to launch an attack at any cost to ensure a hit.

But at this moment, the assassin who thought he was about to succeed just took a step but heard the sound of the bowstring tightening. Seeing his pupils suddenly enlarged several times, sarcasm laughter sounded in his ears——

"Thinking that this can turn the situation around-it's ridiculous! If that's the case, I don't have to show mercy to your men."

Before he had time to react, the assassin tensed his body subconsciously, but then a sharp rain of arrows penetrated his body. Even the skilled assassin had no chance to escape under such a trap. He directly killed him on the spot, and his body was filled with arrows braving the cold.

And behind him, the large porcupine crossbow machine that had been secretly arranged is slowly reloading at this time. Ranieri Dandoro, who had already expected the opponent to be like this, had already prepared for it. Obviously, the opponent is arrogant but Not stupid, Christopher can make a surprise attack but it is difficult to have a second chance.

Failed--

Seeing all this, the one-eyed old man looked solemn, and no one knew what the result would be if he continued to consume it like this. God knows that there will be other Venetians coming, at least such a fierce battle is beyond their tolerance, but now they are stuck in the mud, they can't think of other countermeasures.

As the lone force of the squadron deepened, the elite Venetian guards suddenly appeared from the deck. They quickly crushed the Genoese on the side of the deck and quickly cut off their contact with the ship. Obviously the opponent's retreat just now was a deliberate trap, and the Genoese, whose offense was gradually showing signs of decline, realized that they were already surrounded.

...

"Stop! Genoese, you are already surrounded." At this moment, Ranieri Dandoro, who was determined to have an absolute advantage, stood on the heights and shouted loudly~www.ltnovel.com~ and instantly his The sound seemed to completely suppress all the tears.

"Have you not seen the situation clearly? You have failed. The killer you sent attempted to assassinate me, but ultimately killed me in vain. I will give you one last chance to lay down my weapons and surrender, and hand over the people I want. At least not all of you will be buried on the bottom of the sea." The condescending man looked down at every blood-stained face below, as contemptuously as a butcher, as if he could kill and kill everyone below.

But the only response to him was the cold arrow that flew. Those sailors who were particularly loyal to Christopher, whether Genoese or northern barbarians, had their bows and arrows nailed to the shield next to Ranieri Dandoro, and the Venetian man slightly answered Shrugged, spread his hands and said:

"Very well, you could have been sold as slaves to Egypt or Syria, at least one life, but now it seems that you don't need it anymore."

On the deck of the Venetian warship, the elite Venetian guards who appeared were holding long shields and long spears to form a shield wall, while the sailors of Genoa were already surrounded, looking at the long spear battle array that was filled with cold light. Everyone is ready for the final battle. Especially when the Venetians pushed the "Porcupine", everyone no longer had any extravagant hopes, and only wanted to fight the enemy to the death.

On the other side, Christopher also closed his eyes. He had misestimated the enemy's strength. Now the squadron had been cut off, and when the new force was wiped out, it was when they were defeated.

Looking at the girl behind him, the old man said in a low voice: "There is a small boat behind. You sit on it and leave here. I will take my people to buy you as much time as possible."
