Chapter 2311 - 1636: Take Action, Seize Those Two Ships! (Part 2)

Finally, amid the backdrop of this spreading plague of death, Warrior Captain Kepili led the third and strongest wave of reinforcements onto the island. With the help of Priest Adin, the Kingdom of the Lake and the Shenluo Mercenaries connected, understanding the division and weakness of the expeditionary army, thus launching the final decisive battle! With the aid of insider intelligence, this final showdown determined life and death thoroughly! As the last Castilian Holy War veteran fell, the outcome on the island's land was completely decided! The only suspense left is whether the mercenaries will truly betray, and exactly how many ships can be seized?

"Ah ha ha! Chief Divine bless! What a fine head, what a great battle, what a glorious blood sacrifice for the Almighty!"

In front of the corpse of Veteran Company Captain Philip, Warrior Captain Kepili gasped loudly, sweat pouring like a waterfall. He raised his Big Axe, chopping down the head of the last Evil Demon veteran, laughing as he commented on the shining Iron Helmet and fierce, fanatic face. Then, he untied a heavy skin bag from the waist of this headless Evil Demon squad captain and rinsed his head and face. This sensation was not the moistness of clear water, but a spicy coolness, as red liquid like blood flowed down. Then, he took two more big gulps and laughed heartily again.

"Ha ha! Turns out it's wine, a refreshing good wine! Even the Evil Demons have red wine? Is it also brewed from deer blood? How come there's not a hint of bloody taste? Excellent, truly excellent!"

After finishing the "Evil Demon Blood Wine," Warrior Captain Kepili laughed excitedly, throwing the skin bag onto the ground. Then, he patted the other's Iron Helmet and threw the head of the Holy War Veteran Corps Captain Philip back onto the headless corpse. Apart from that Evil Demon, the highest-ranking and strongest martial warrior, he disregarded the other heads entirely.

As he looked around, the surrounding warriors also rested a while, drank some water, recovering some stamina. As for those grassland barbarians, they chuckled and laughed, picking up spoils of swords, and even prying off Evil Demon helmets to wear over their dyed hair.

"Have you all rested well?"

"Rested well, chief!"

"Counted all the heads?"

"Counted clearly! There are seventy-four Evil Demon heads here! All were stubborn elite Evil Demon veterans!"

"How many brothers have we lost?!"

"Chief, we've lost fifty warriors in the south, and twenty-two barbarians!"

"Chief Kepili, we lost thirty-five grassland warriors in the west, fourteen Taino Fire Rope Gunners, but also killed thirty elite Evil Demon veterans, plus twenty-two Evil Demon tribespeople! As for our numbers, of the hundred, we have about fifty left!"

"Chief, our scouts going east discovered traces of Evil Demons! Thirty-three Evil Demons dead together, seems like internal conflict! Yes, including elite veterans, and even those Shenluo tribe mercenaries secretly opening doors for us!"

"Phew! Chief Divine bless! Good! Good!"

Warrior Captain Kepili shouted "Good!" twice! The initial two hundred and eighty, after eliminating all Evil Demon veterans on campgrounds, left one hundred and fifty or sixty, sixty percent remaining! Their exchange ratio with these Evil Demons roughly maintained at one to one! This was the best battle result achieved through meticulous planning, narrowing equipment gaps, and outcalculating the enemy!

As for the veterans' heads scattered on the ground, they represented the harvest of war achievements. Like the three skirmishes in the south, seventy to eighty Holy War veterans, the warriors left no survivors, beheading them all! Seeing the dire state of various Taino divisions, every Kingdom's Warrior burned with anger and fear of Evil Demon invasion! This fear transformed into stronger fury, merging with pious faith, becoming fearlessness and cruelty! They wouldn't spare their own lives, let alone care for the lives of Evil Demons! These Evil Demons brought such horrible death, plunder, and plague, they must be completely and utterly destroyed!

"Ha ha ha! This battle is a victory for the Chief Divine, also a victory for us! Let's gather everyone, head to the northern port! Let's see the choices of those Shenluo tribes!"

"Priest Martin instructed me in advance, those Shenluo Mercenaries are like cunning foxes and wolves. Even if they sign any contracts, with the allure of gold, they may not be reliable! We must converge a numerical advantage to suppress them, suppress control, not only subdue them and convert them all, but also control the ships they seize!"

"And if our strength is insufficient, these mercenaries may at any moment betray us, even come ashore to steal from us, taking ships and sailors to flee to whatever eastern continent... We still have one hundred and sixty warriors, enough to suppress those white-skinned coyotes! Go, send two people to summon Priest Martin from the rear! The upcoming negotiations with those Shenluo Mercenaries need him!"

"Yes, chief!"

"Everyone else, follow me northward, to the Evil Demon's port, to check out their Large Ships! Spread the teams apart, don't form into military formations! If these Evil Demons' Large Ships fire cannons, fewer will die!"

"Following the chief's command!"

A hundred and sixty Kingdom's Warriors, Dog Descendant Shooters, and grassland barbarians marched past the burning Castilian stronghold, through desolate and silence villages, reaching the green beach. There, two exceptionally tall large sailboats partly raised their sails, leaving the coastal shallows, exiting the dangerous strait. They anchored hundreds of steps from the shallow sea, gazing at the flame on shore, and the emerging shadowy mass of people! As those figures revealed themselves, onboard, Deputy Commander Antonio and two captains, although mentally prepared, still were sharply startled and sighed!

"Almighty! It's barbarians! A large group of barbarians! They have at least a hundred sixty strong warriors, fully armored!"

"Seeing such a cruel sight, the merciful Holy Mother would weep! The Holy War veterans ashore, so many loyal elite warriors, yet none survived to retreat to the shore!"

"Damn! How could this happen, just how many Cipangu Barbarians were mobilized? How strong is their combat power?"

"Now isn't the time to dwell on this! Since no retreating veterans can be met, better to fully raise sails and withdraw fast!"

"Damn Demon! Barbarians ashore are fierce, but can't board our off-coast ships! Didn't the Commander say to order cannon fire, giving these barbarians a deeply unforgettable painful memory, letting them know the kingdom's might?"

"This... Look at these barbarians spreading in a sand-like formation! Even firing several cannon rounds, hardly any will be killed, right? We only have two rounds of gunpowder remaining, might be better preserved for firing on whatever Barbados Banyan Tree Island!"

The sailors aboard debated, and

"Take action, seize these two ships!"

Partly raised sails, leaving the coastal shallows, exiting the dangerous strait. They anchored hundreds of steps from the shallow sea, gazing at the shore firelight and finally emerged masses of people! When these figures appeared, onboard Deputy Commander Antonio and two captains, though mentally prepared, were still suddenly surprised, sighing
