I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 36 Destroy the Pirate Village of Milos Island

Milos is a volcanic island in the Aegean Sea.

The island covers an area of ​​about 150 square kilometers. The east of the island is a habitable plain, and the west of the island is a mountainous area with elevated terrain. The main peak, Mount Ibias, is 750 meters above sea level.

Because of the production of rare minerals such as obsidian, Milos has a very important commercial position in the Mediterranean trade.

When the sunset was about to fall in the sky, Roy's fleet arrived at the natural port in the west of Milos Island.

Roy's flagship took the lead to enter the port, and Aries suddenly pointed to several ships on the coast of the port.

"Master Priest! Look at those small boats, they are the pirate ships that attacked us."

Hearing Bai Yang's words, Roy immediately observed carefully and found that the several ships moored on the coast of the port were indeed very similar to the pirate ships he had just encountered.

"Could it be that the pirates who attacked us fled to Milos Island? Or, those pirates used Milos Island as their base?"

Several people guarding the ships at the port saw Roy's fleet approaching the port coast, and fled in panic to the distant village.

Seeing this scene, Roy was even more convinced that the pirates who attacked him were hiding on Milos Island.

After the ten cargo ships docked, Roy gave an order to the captain of the guard, Pallas.

"Captain Pallas! I suspect that the pirates who attacked us are hiding in the village ahead. Now I will take my sailors to destroy them. You and the guards must guard the ship."

After speaking, Roy called fifty teenagers to prepare for the battle.

Roy and fifty teenagers put on paper armor and took spears, and led them to the village ahead.

When he was about to reach the village, Aries asked suddenly.

"My lord priest! If we are mistaken and those pirates are not hiding in this village, will we arouse hostility from the villagers if we rush into the village like this?"

"White sheep! Even if the pirates are not hiding here, we will destroy this village."

Seeing Aries' eyes widen in shock, Roy explained patiently.

"We're here overnight and the best way to make sure we're not attacked by the locals is to act first. We can't risk our lives that the locals here won't attack us."

The village at the foot of Mount Ibias is a small village.

Roy came outside the village with fifty teenagers, and saw more than 100 men guarding outside the village, ready to face Roy and others.

Seeing that many of the more than 100 men were pirates whose faces he remembered, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"Sure enough, it is a pirate village. It seems that my decision to attack here is correct. Companions! Next, we will cooperate with each other and kill all the pirates here."

After speaking, Roy took the lead and rushed towards the pirates.

Although the pirates had a numerical advantage, their morale was hit by the death of the pirate leader, and one-third of them were injured, one-third were old, weak, and sick, and only one-third A man is a real fighter.

Roy's fifty teenagers rushed forward with uniform steps, and first overwhelmed the pirates in terms of momentum.

Immediately after the battle between the two sides began, there was a one-sided situation.

The pirates' spears pierced the paper armor, but they couldn't break the paper armor's defense at all.

Roy and the boys swung their spears with both hands and stabbed the pirates. Even if the pirates were not injured and bled, they would still suffer severe internal injuries.

The battle between the two sides lasted for a while, and seeing that the result was doomed to failure, some pirates turned and fled, and some pirates put down their weapons and knelt on the ground and shouted.

"I am willing to surrender, please let me live for the sake of gods."

After the first person to surrender appeared, more and more pirates surrendered, and more and more pirates turned and fled.

The dozens of pirates who chose to fight to the end were quickly killed by Roy and fifty teenagers.

After the battle, the bodies of more than 40 pirates lay on the ground, and another [-] pirates became captives.

Roy looked at the captive, and a cowardly pirate begged immediately.

"Benevolent and great people, I did not participate in the attack on you, please forgive me kindly, the gods will definitely bless you."

bang!
Roy brandished the bronze spear and smashed it heavily on the pirate's head.

After confirming that the pirate was smashed to death, Roy said coldly.

"Although you did not participate in the attack on us, you are also a pirate with blood on your hands."

Then, Roy gave an order to the fifty teenagers.

"Kill all these captives, only dead pirates are harmless pirates."

Hearing Roy's order, although the teenagers couldn't bear to kill the captives, they still faithfully carried out Roy's order.

After the captured pirate turned into a corpse and lay on the ground, Roy looked at the wooden house in the village and said.

"Companions! We have won a victory, and then we will search for spoils. Divide into groups of five and search each house, find all the food, bronze, and living people in these wooden houses and bring them to me. I will Everyone's contribution is to distribute the spoils for you, if anyone dares to hide the spoils, I will let him change from a companion to an undead in the underworld."

After speaking, Roy walked towards the only wood and stone house in the village that was built with a mixture of wood and stone.

Before entering the wooden and stone house, Roy saw the fire shining through the gap in the wooden door of the wooden and stone house.

Pushing open the door and walking in, Roy looked at the interior of the wooden and stone house, and saw firewood burning in the fireplace, beside the fireplace was a bronze tripod for cooking and a bag of grain.

Strangely, no one could be seen in the house.

Roy walked to the fireplace, took a burning firewood and was about to leave when a child's cry suddenly sounded under the wool blanket in the corner of the room.

Roy immediately walked to the corner of the room, lifted the woolen blanket and threw it aside.

A young and beautiful woman and a little boy about two years old appeared in Roy's sight.

Seeing that the woman was not only wearing a cotton robe, but also wearing pearl necklaces and other accessories, Roy said with a smile.

"If I'm not wrong, the owner of this house is the pirate leader who I killed, and you are the wife of the pirate leader! Now this pirate village has been wiped out by me, if you don't want to be burned to death in this room with your son In the house, go out of the house at once. Now you are our prize, and you must obey our orders."

In tears of grief, the woman walked out of the house with her baby in her arms, seemingly accepting her fate.

When Roy came out of the wooden and stone house, he saw more women being driven out by his companions.

Some of these women had children with them, some with children in their stomachs, and some were alone.

Driven by the teenagers, more than 60 women and a dozen children gathered in the open space outside the wooden and stone house.

At this time the night has enveloped the earth.

Roy lit a pile of logs outside the log and stone house with the burning firewood, let the fire light illuminate the clearing, and then spoke to the weeping women.

"Most of the men in this pirate village have been killed by us, and some have escaped. Now, including you women, everything in this pirate village is our spoils. If you still want to live, accept the spoils fate, accept all my arrangements for you."
