Reborn As a Pirate

Chapter 67: Unknown reason for annihilation

  The assault boat drew ashore at the end of the waterway, and tied the rope close to the silent Macaw.

  The sailors landed in turn, chanted again, and pushed the lightest four-pound cannon from the Macaw.

   This is Lorraine's temporary adjustment plan after guessing the end of the Nasbolt team.

   Before this, no one had thought that he would really push the artillery to take risks like a clumsy army.

   In theory, this is a stupid decision.

   In order to launch farther and more stable parabola on a large shaking ship, the casting of sea-going artillery has always been larger, more sophisticated, and heavier than land-based artillery.

   Compare with a six-pounder gun of the same level. Six-pound ground guns often weigh less than one ton, and are equipped with light gun carriages, while marine six-pound long guns weigh up to two tons.

   Even though the Pansy is the lightest and the shortest barrel, the six-pound short gun chosen by Lorraine for installation on the boat still weighs 1.2 tons.

   It is a fantasy in itself to want to carry such a huge heavy object in the rugged sea cave.

   However, the Macaw gave Lorraine a different choice.

   Its stern gun bay has six well-preserved four-pound short guns, and its overall weight is only 0.7 tons.

   There are also artillery carts that are convenient for transportation. Although it is a small wheeled vehicle for deck, it still makes it possible to take the artillery on the adventure.

   There is no shortage of shells corresponding to the caliber. Shot bullets, solid bullets, hammer-ball bullets...the iron cannonballs are wrapped in dried ointment, and they are stacked next to the artillery, and they are neatly stacked.

   The only regret is that the propellant stored in the bottom compartment has deteriorated. Fortunately, Lorraine came with six propellants, and repacked them according to the caliber of the four-pounder gun. Eight parts were separated without much effort.

  Acharin, who has professional skills, measured the rock wall hardness of the sea cave and determined that a four-pound shot bomb would not collapse the cave wall. As a result, Lorraine's idea was passed, and the expedition successfully increased a huge backing.

   There are still twenty people left on the expedition.

   In order to make good use of this artillery, Lorraine adjusted four people to be responsible for pushing and pulling the artillery cart. Two people pushed the ammunition and assisted Yacharin to operate the artillery. They formed a luxury artillery squad with a total of seven people and were placed in the middle of the team.

   The remaining sailors also had their own settlements. Lorraine and Noah led the five sailors to clear the way, and Henna led the five sailors to guard the escape route.

   The seamen repeatedly reviewed while unloading the cannon and dividing the medicine until they were convinced that they were really prepared. Lorraine hula raised the torch and said softly: "Go."

  ……

   The cave is very quiet...

The dome did not rise with the rise of the foundation. Under the shining of a dozen torches, the zenith, which was originally not illuminated, became clear. It was only three meters high. To Lorraine, it seemed to be reachable with a hand. .

   The width of the cave is also narrowing.

From the beginning, the Guangshui Channel was 14 and 45 meters wide, and now the two walls are only five or six meters wide. The expedition team can see all around itself, and at the same time, they can clearly see the fork holes, deep, shallow, and there. Some barely allow pedestrians, and some can’t even get into a cat.

   Lorraine was holding Acharin's newly acquired stabbing sword.

In this kind of cramped environment, his fighting ability is greatly weakened, he cannot jump, has nowhere to hide, and he can't even use the long sword he is good at. His height, arm length, and the length of the sword can't be used in such a place. open.

  Cannon... Obviously it can't be fired either.

   He felt that he had walked into a huge ant den, and even began to delusion. He felt that the chief culprit in destroying the Nasbalt team was some kind of prehistoric ant, a tall man.

   shouldn't be enough, right?

   He comforted himself in his heart with an uncertain tone. While comforting, he moved more carefully, especially those big or small fork holes, which must be thoroughly explored before he dared to take the adventure team across the past.

   just walked for half an hour in fear, and they did not encounter any danger.

   Lorraine raised his hand: "Resting on the spot, the second group puts on guard."

   The team stopped at his order and gathered together. Four sailors left the team, two in front and two behind, each raising a fire and a knife.

   Lorraine opened the water sac and took a sip. Noah approached him and asked softly: "Captain, what do you think is the danger?"

"I don't know." Lorraine shook his head. "Inge Arnason is my blood ancestor, a Viking in the 9th century. Judging by the size of the long ship and the executed oars slaves, he counts. Putting the treasures in the depths of the cave, there is no manpower to make traps that can run for a thousand years."

   "But that explorer's team was completely destroyed. Could it be another riot?"

   "A riot is not impossible, but at the same time it will die. There is almost no possibility that no one will escape. Most of the time, a rebellion will always produce a victor."

   "Beast?"

"If you want to destroy a team of 40 people who specialize in adventure, the beasts in the cave are either gregarious or extremely huge. As Yacharin said, if there is such a beast that treats the treasure land as a nest, what? There may be gold objects left..." Lorraine smiled bitterly, "Don’t forget, Nasbalt is not an ancient person, only a hundred years earlier than us. But he saw the treasure with his own eyes and almost took it away. Lost them."

  Noya was also lost.

   After discussing for a long time, the two people were unable to discuss the idea. They were about to ask Hannah and Yacharin if they had any new insights. The sudden change occurred!

   The sailor guarding the front of the team suddenly screamed.

   He screamed and fell, lying flat and slid to a fork hole not far away, as if being dragged by a mysterious force, without the power to resist at all.

   Immediately afterwards, there was also a scream from the back of the team.

   Ai Na has quick eyes and quick hands, and duh shoots out a flying knife, and at the same time shouts: "Lorraine, ankle!"

   ankle!

   Lorraine didn't want to rush out, but in the process of running, the long knife on his waist suddenly unsheathed, like a steel wheel spinning past the center of the sailor and the fork hole.

  噗!

   The sailor stopped immediately.

   The sailor who was on guard with him ran up and dragged the frightened teammate back to the brigade. Lorraine picked up the torch that had fallen on the ground and flew out in the direction of the fork hole.

  The torch illuminates the distant scene.

  The attacker was a huge lizard, more than three meters long, with a triangular, ferocious head, black and brown all over, and rough skin. Its body is covered with raised bumps, which resemble scales, but without scales.

   It swayed its thick tail and slowly drilled out of the fork hole. Its big copper bell eyes fixed on Lorraine, and its sharp claws spit out sparks on the rocky ground.

   "Komodo... monitor lizard?"

Lorraine raised his stabbing sword vigilantly~www.wuxiamtl.com~ He saw more monitor lizards stepping into the fire. There were five in front of the team, from the dome, from the rock wall, from the fork hole... He also heard The sailor behind the palace was shouting, and four had been found behind the team.

   "Acharin, the hole diameter is too small, don't shoot..." he whispered, barely able to reach Acharin's ears, "Noya, fight for a quick fight."

   Before the words fell, Lorraine rushed out and took a stride, already standing in front of the monitor lizard whose tongue had been cut off, and the stabbing sword in his hand pierced the eyes like a sparkle.

   The speed of the monitor lizard is not slower than him at all!

   At the moment Lorraine started, the five monitor lizards started at the same time. They leaped towards Lorraine with a swift and violent swiftness that was completely inconsistent with their body length. They swung their claws forward and flicked their tails from side to side. They crawled on the dome and ejected their long tongues at Lorraine, like a stabbing sword, and shot straight at Lorraine's throat!

   Ke Lorraine is not afraid!

   He stabs a sharp sword towards the target in a lunge, half draws a long sword with his free left hand, and lays it on his side against the back of the sword.

   Noah shot her silver tarots flying like a flower, dozens of them, whirling past Lorraine, cutting off the long tongue on top of Lorraine's head straight, and clanging to offset a tail sweep.

   Yacharin fired his musket with a blast, and in the smoke, the flaming lead bullet hit the body of a monitor lizard, blasting it out of half a meter.

   The claws of a monitor lizard hit Lorraine's long knife.

   Only a ding sound was heard, Lorraine snorted, and the stabbing sword in his hand pierced the target's eyeball almost at the same time.

   The target's sharp claws stopped at a position less than 20 centimeters away from Lorraine's side, and fell limply to the ground.

   Lorraine pulled out the common abruptly, turned sideways, guided the long knife upside down, and slashed towards the second target in front of him.

"kill!"
