Chapter 63

North of the Kingdom, where the castle was built.

"Lord Martin, there are ships on the sea. What a big ship." A scout ran to Viscount Martin, who was monitoring the prisoners' work, and said with a frightened face.

Martin, who was sent by gray to garrison here, changed his face slightly. "From the sea? How far is it, how many ships are there, and how many people are there? "

"There are three ships. At their speed, they can get here in ten minutes. The ships are too far away to be measured visually." The Scout said quickly.

Martin did not ask again, but waved, "show me."

For some things, it is difficult for him to judge the other party's intention only by oral description. He must go and see for himself to determine whether the other party has the intention to invade the Kingdom, how its combat effectiveness is, and whether it can resist.

He took people to the edge of the cliff and saw the three sailboats coming this way at a glance. There was no obvious flag on the sailboat and could not see the specific intention of the other party.

"There are at least four or five hundred people in three ships of this size. If they come to invade, we will be in danger." Martin whispered.

"Shout to them and tell them to stop immediately. Don't touch the shore, or they will be regarded as invaders." Martin said decisively that no matter whether the other party is an intruder or not, he will not allow the other party to threaten himself until he has an advantage.

After making people shout, Martin said to a messenger: "go and inform your majesty immediately that there are unidentified fleets here who intend to land. The number is at least 400, up to thousands, and may carry weapons. The threat is very high."

Martin knew very well that his credit was not enough to be promoted to Viscount, but his Majesty's grace made him become a Viscount when his credit was not enough. If this matter was handled incorrectly, he might be directly beaten back to his original form. At that time, he wanted to be promoted to Viscount again, but it was a long way off.

The herald took the order, turned and left, rode on a fast horse and hurried to the direction of Wangdu.

"Captain, the people over there told us to stop, or we would be regarded as invaders." On three large ships, sailors reported to their captain.

The captain's face was rough and dark. It looked like he had been wandering in the sea all the year round and was exposed to the wind and sun. He smelled his words, showed a mouthful of black and yellow teeth and gave an ugly laugh, "do you want us to stop?"

"Of course... No." Many sailors at the bottom answered, and burst into laughter.

"That's right." The captain nodded and agitated with a fanatical voice: "we just want to rob them of their treasures, rob them of their food, rob their women, and sell them as slaves."

"Grab, grab, grab!" Cried the sailors.

"Well, don't cheer first. When we rob them all, it's time for us to celebrate." The pirate captain laughed and directed the three pirate ships to the beach where they could dock.

"It seems that it is indeed an intruder." Martin's eyes were cold, leaving several people to pay attention to the movement here, take people back to the station and gather everyone.

Then he took people to the construction site and asked everyone to gather, "you are all sinners in the Kingdom, and each one is scum. It's not a pity to die."

Martin paused, "but your majesty is kind and did not kill you.

I am willing to give you a chance. Next, there will be a group of Pirates ashore. As long as you dare to raise your weapons and fight back these invaders with us, I am willing to ask the most powerful dragon slaying warrior and the greatest king for forgiveness of your crimes, so that you can work and get paid, so that you can return to your own home and reunite with your family.

I, Martin herb, will swear in the name of the family. "

With that, Martin looked at the group. They belong to the edge of the sea cliff. Those ships can't land from here. If they are properly organized, plus these hundreds of workers, their number will not be much.

Many of these workers are rebel soldiers and officers, and their combat effectiveness is not poor. If they join, it should be more than enough to stick for a few hours.

"The oath of nobility is no different from farting. We don't believe you." Suddenly, a voice shouted, it seems that he is a guy persecuted by the nobility. He should be one of the criminals, not a soldier.

When he shouted, many people shouted.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers stepped forward and put their sharp blades against their throats to shut these guys up. Martin said coldly: "shut up, damn scum. If it weren't for the kindness of his majesty, you would all be hanged and dare to talk nonsense here.

My oath is proved by many soldiers. I will not break my promise. If I break my promise, you can tell your majesty that your majesty is a great dragon slaying warrior. He will never tolerate this breach of promise.

I am willing to give you a chance now to defend the territory of the Kingdom and the honor of the king.

If you don't want to, you can only be a prisoner forever. You can never see your family. Now you fight, not for me, but for yourself, for your family, for the king and for honor. "

"Sir, the pirate ships have begun to dock and are ready to land." The Scout whispered behind him.

Martin nodded and took a deep breath. "Well, this is your only chance. Now, those who are willing to fight, stand on my left, and those who are unwilling, roll to the right. You... Have only one minute to choose. "

He didn't have much time to spend with them. After a minute, he had to organize defense immediately.

Martin knew very well that he was different from these pirates. As long as he held the position, reinforcements would come from behind. At that time, this group of damn guys would die.

As Martin's voice fell, everyone began to look left and right, considering whether to believe the aristocrat.

"Fifty seconds!" Martin shouted.

Gradually, someone began to move to the left.

Fifty seconds later, only a few people stood on the left.

"It's not enough to issue weapons to these people. Pick up your hammer, shovel and even wooden stick. I will do what I promise, and your majesty will see your loyalty and glory." Martin looked at these people who chose to fight with satisfaction, and then turned his eyes to those guys with disdain and ferocity. His eyes became colder and colder, "kill all these treacherous dregs."

Without waiting for these people to react, each had at least two more arrows.

"Go, prepare for battle for the Kingdom and your majesty." The death of these people did not affect him at all. These people were still so stubborn at this time, which was an unstable factor in his heart. He could not leave them behind in the battle.

When they make this choice, they choose their own death.

"Mr. Frodo, you are not fit to fight. Take your men and hide behind. We will protect you." Martin said to the architects.

"Viscount, may you be favored by your majesty, defeat these dirty invaders and return home with great victory."

"Thank you!"

With two hundred soldiers and hundreds of prisoners, Martin organized his defense in five minutes.

He didn't put the prisoners in the front as cannon fodder. In the front was his 100 sword shield infantry, followed by 50 gunners. The prisoners were in the middle, followed by 50 archers.

This will not make them feel that they were sent out to die, but also make them stop thinking of running away.

In this way, the prisoners felt his sincerity and understood that he did not lie, which greatly increased their morale.

After all, there are few people who don't want to have the chance to survive, avoid their crimes and go back to see their families.
