Chapter 68 Attacking a walled city and Gaining a new Commander

Everything was set and ready and there were no more plans to be made, no more allies to begin and no more time the battle was about to commence the ship said already left 5,000 troops now made their way in 50 ships barreling towards the walled city. 50 more ships and 1200 men were left to guard the continent they weren't taking any chance just in case the enemy try to silent attack while they're both forces were missing but the ones that were guarding the consonant with the men that had switched sides so they knew how to defend with very little and the fortifications of the settlement were enhanced so that no matter how many attacks a very small number could drive them back.

Alexandria and her mother Lorelei or in the flagship at the front on either side was Alexandria's old flagship and on the other was Lorelei's command ship and then behind them the other 47 ships in their fleet. This was going to mark the first time in over a hundred years that anyone had attacked the current government this much. The last time this happened it was a pirate king looking to expand his territory he was eventually defeated near the capital city his flagship and three other ships fled the scene and were later sunk not too far from the current city that Alexandria and her fleet were going to demolish.

Of course they had already located the ship and it was being worked on at this very moment and after it was made seaworthy again Alexandria would take command of it and it would be her flagship and that alone could give her presidents to challenge for the seat of pirate king on Alexandria's case pirate Queen.

The fleet wasn't far from their target and as they neared the fleet moved into position to deploy their longboats and the gun doors were open six rows of guns on the flagship and four rows of guns on every other ship. Alexandria and Lorelei moved to the side of the ship looking out at the city in front of them they were in range of guns and ready to fire, but it wasn't going to be long. Alexandria and Lorelei along with Alexandria's crew move from the flagship to the large cargo ship carrying the truck that would take Alexandria into the city.

The small group moved away from the fleet; the ship docked an old mooring station that looked like it had been abandoned years ago. They docked the large cargo ship to the dock and built a ramp out of pieces inside the ship. The large truck was moved out of the ship and driven up to the road. There were not many trucks like that still running but this one had been sealed underground and now it belonged to Alexandria.

Everyone disembarked, loaded up their gear into the truck along with ammunition and other supplies and everyone got inside. They cut the cargo ship from the dock and let it float; this truck was probably not coming back from the mission.

They drove up to the wall and the first gate on the other side there were three gates to get through but it should be easy since they were acting like Alexandria was coming to talk and resolved the situation with peace.

Of course that was not the plan Alexandria was going to kill everyone inside the city unless they found some slaves or test subjects they would be spared of course.

The truck made it through the first and second Gates but as they near the third gate a line of soldiers showed up all with machine guns. When the driver of the truck saw this they pulled down a metal sheet which was thick and only had a slight slip for the driver to see out of but before the line of men could fire soldiers on top stood up with what appeared to be gatling guns and opened fire mowing down the line of men like a scythe to fresh wheat.

There was a third line of shots but a single fourth line rang out as a single bullet pierced through the glass of the guard station drilling right into his head taking him out before he could call for backup.

After a few moments the truck moved to the right and another line of shots was heard but from a farther distance as cannonballs peppered the third date cracking it from top to bottom.

Another silence before a second volume slammed into the gate crumbling what remained down to dust. The truck gun bit and moved forward making its way to the fountain at the center courtyard. The cab doors open the truck cargo hold folded down into a ramp like structure and Alexandria's crew along with that handful of militia stormed into the courtyard firing wildly into the guards that came to meet them.

The fighting in the courtyard didn't last long and Alexandra's crew and the militia took it over quite quickly as they made their way to the central building more commonly referred to as the governor's house. Once they took this building that wasn't much left to do any guards or fighters hidden in the city would have to surrender.

The enemy's flag would go down and the flag of Crimson Judgment would be hoisted to the top. Alexandria shifted into her polar bear form and rammed straight into the metal gate taking it down with one hit she moved closer and closer to the large wooden door she stood up as high as she could go and came down on the door with both of her paws cracking it in half and blowing it back into the mansion.

A small group were inside a few guards but the rest were servants. It was funny to see that servants take up arms to defend the enemy. Nevertheless it was interesting to see Alexandria just standing as she transformed back into a human as her mother Lorelei walked into the mansion.

Lorelei had shifted into a prehistoric creature nobody knew the name but it looked like a lizard small and fast with razor sharp 3 inch claws on its toes and hands. Alexandria motion forward as her mother let out a blood curdling sound almost like a squeak or scream as she moved forward and started ripping apart the enemy.

The slaughter was over very quickly as they moved up the stairs and towards what appeared to be the governor's bedroom. When they opened the doors there was a screen against the wall with the receiver below it and a man dressed in white and gold was on the big screen while the governor stood in front of it pleading for help.

Alexandria couldn't help but let out a playful giggle as she drew her sword walking towards the screen. “It would seem someone is trying to make a phone call. Are you trying to call for reinforcements or is this something else altogether?”

There was a silence as Lorelei walked through the door to the bedroom she has shifted back into a human and she was covered in blood. When she saw the screen her eyes turned yellow and she bared sharp teeth as she spoke, “Naseer!”

It sounded like the name screamed out of her mouth as her face and teeth shifted back to that of a human. Alexandria looked from the screen to her mother then back to the screen as she spoke, “Who the hell are you and why does my mother seem to hate you?”

Before the cloaked man could answer Lorelei spoke up, “This piece of trash with the one who imprisoned me in one of those research labs.”

That wasn't something Alexandria wanted to hear right now and the fact that he wasn't in this room so that she could kill him was even worse.

In a rage she moved forward, grabbed the governor and slit his throat letting his blood spill all over the floor like a waterfall throwing his lifeless body to the ground and wiping the sword on his cloak.

“I make you a promise right now I'm going to destroy every single place you hold dear and I'm going to save your capital for last. You are going to watch as every single facility in every single city is raised to the ground and then the islands sunk into the ocean.”

There was a silence in the room that's the cloaked man finally opened his mouth to speak, “It would seem your mother has finally come out of hiding. I finally got to meet her daughter. I will let you know ahead of time that you will not do what you say your promise will be unfulfilled and I will rip you to pieces and feed you to my dogs.”

Alexandria walked up to the receiver and clicked it off. She picked it up and put it in a bag and threw it on her back. She had guards take the screen to her ship as they searched the mansion for treasure.

Every single inch of the mansion as well as the city itself was searched and they took away over three ships worth of riches. They also freed an orphanage as well as two slaves who were working at the orphanage.

The children would be divided among couples who wish to watch over them and the ones that were unable to be chosen would stay with Alexandria until they turned 16 and were able to go off on their own.

Once everything was taken from the city the sappers moved in and started putting charges everywhere with the main bomb being the truck with all the cans or large containers of liquid fuel.

They made their way to the ship and while sitting on the flagship Alexandria took out the receiver put it on the railing and turned it on to allow her enemy to see that she was about to do.

All the council leader heard was Alexandria's voice as she spoke, “Now I need to start making good on my promise to you so I've wired the entire island with explosives with about a dozen barrels of liquid fuel in the center one push of this button and it all goes down into the ocean.”

Alexandria wasn't going to give the council member the choice to speak she just pressed the button debris and water flew into the air along with fire as dozens of explosions went off. In Alexandria kept the machine on right until the last piece of the island disappeared into the water.

She giggled and spun the receiver around and she opened her arms wide as she spoke, “Now you see what my word is worth next we're going to see if your word is worth anything I believe you said you were going to feed me to your dogs.”

Again Alexandria was not going to allow him to answer; she blew him a kiss and turned off the receiver.

“Alright everyone, it is time to go home. We need to make preparations to begin systematically destroying this awful government organization that now looms over us. As I have said we will save the capital for the last, but now we must attend to the restoration of the first pirate Kings flagship which will become mine. Hugo, you will become my second fleet commander with your 30 ships. I want you to build or find 50 more if you would like to make it an even hundred. You can go for that as well. Are you ready to serve me?”

Hugo bowed low. He was a large man with fiery red hair and a matching beard. He carried a large double-sided ax that was as long as he was and he was about 6 ft 3 in tall. “I and my descendants will serve you from now until the end of time.”

Alexandria was happy to hear that and now it was time for them to return home so they could update the

ir map and begin preparations for the next Island to be destroyed.
