Chapter 523: Where Did the Colonists Come From?
"Captain?"
Probably out of cowardice and uncertainty, the voice repeated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After being stunned for a while, Zheng Fei immediately turned his head to look, only to see that in the small wooden house, a small head was lying quietly at the window, and tears seemed to be flashing in his eyes.
A small life is enough to rekindle the hope that everyone will be burned out.
"Are you?" Zheng Fei stepped forward and touched his dirty hair.
"My father's name is Allison, and he is a knight under you. ā
The knights who first came to the Americas were all descendants of the Knights of the Round Table recruited in Lisbon, and Ares was their commander.
Ares walked out, looked at the child's face, and thoughtfully said, "I remember Allison, he was a good knight, and when he was in Lisbon, he occasionally drank with me in a small bar, and he always rushed to pay. ā
Zheng Fei nodded, looked at the child's tearful eyes, and asked softly in a pitying tone, "Then where did your father and everyone go?"
At this point, the child could no longer hold back the emotions in his heart, completely let go of his stubborn shell, and sobbed loudly.
"They... They... All were captured. ā
"When?"
"Two months ago. ā
Finished. There was such a voice in everyone's hearts.
After being captured by the natives for two months, is it possible to survive?, if nothing else, it would have been eaten or burned as a sacrifice.
The spark of hope, which had just been ignited, was extinguished again in an instant, and people raised their heads and stared at the distant sky, despair reflected deep in their pupils.
Zheng Fei closed his eyes and sighed faintly, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart to remain calm, and squeezed out a smile at the child with difficulty: "You are the only one left here?"
The child wiped away his snot, held back the sobs, and nodded firmly.
"Well, when those people came, I chased the little rabbits at the back of the mountain, and when I came back, they took everyone away, and I could only see them when I stood on the top of the mountain, but I couldn't catch up. I knew that even if I caught up, it would be useless, so I could only wait here for the captain to come back, day by day. ā
"How many people are there? I remember leaving so many guns for everyone to set up defenses. ā
Zheng Fei really couldn't figure it out, what kind of native people were not even afraid of artillery, besides, according to the child, the enemy should come during the day, not at night.
The child shook his head helplessly: "But they also have guns, they..."
"What did you say?!" Zheng Fei suddenly interrupted the child's words, and astonishment occupied his entire pupils.
"They... There are also guns. The boy did not understand why he suddenly yelled, and his eyes were timidly evasive, not daring to look at him.
Not indigenous!
Who is it!
Zheng Fei turned his head and looked at everyone, and everyone had the same meaning in their eyes: incredible.
Now it seems that the only explanation is that there were other Europeans involved in the Americas, and their power should not be underestimated.
How is this possible, it is completely out of history! The beginning of the New World began with Columbus, who was still a child of about ten years old.
After a brief period of shock, Zheng Fei gradually calmed down.
In fact, history has changed since he crossed into this world.
"How many of them are there?" Zheng Fei asked.
"Thousands of people, with cannons with a lot of firepower. ā
"In which direction did they go?"
The child gnawed his finger and pointed to the mountains to the southwest.
Clenched his fists, hatred seemed to erupt from Zheng Fei's eyes, and he twisted his neck a few times.
"Commander, leave it to us. The knights understood what he wanted to do and volunteered.
Born with the splendor and glory of the Circumferential Knights, these descendants of the Circumferential Knights are eager to prove that they are as capable as the Spartan warriors, and they can also be the right-hand men of the Commander-in-Chief!
"No, this time I'm going to let those people know what true horror is!"
Zheng Fei exuded unprecedented anger from his body, raised the sword of the king and threw it down angrily, and shouted hysterically: "Santiago, bring someone to transport the Christine cannon!"
......
Two months, enough for the enemy to disappear in the Americas.
But they are colonizers, and they come here for only one purpose - wealth.
In order to accumulate wealth, they will definitely build habitats, mining farms, and other facilities like Zheng Fei did at the beginning, and it is relatively easy to find these structures in the boundless land in a hot air balloon.
In order to speed up the search efficiency, Zheng Fei released all the hot air balloons this time, and searched along the Atlantic coastal plain in a carpet search, followed by a large army, only advancing a few dozen kilometers every day, determined to dig out those pups.
Golden animal skin or something, Zheng Fei didn't care very much, what he was most concerned about was whether the captured companions were still alive?
As their leader, he has the responsibility and obligation to rescue them, and he can't just give up on them.
Also, he was very eager to find out the identity of the enemy and find out if any other navigators had come to the Americas, and he didn't want anyone to rob the fat of the Americas so soon.
Whoever dares to rob will be killed.
......
More than a month, quietly passing through day after day of searching, the large force arrived in South Carolina.
Of course, like New York, South Carolina was the name of the United States after the founding of the United States, and it was called nothing in this era, except that Zheng Fei still standardized the name on the map for the sake of memory and distinction.
"Man, when the hell are we going to go... There seems to be no end to this continent. Santiago sat in the carriage and looked up boredly at the clouds in the sky.
"Yes, I feel like I'm going to cross the whole of Europe. Brad continued.
"Until those people are found. Zheng Fei closed the map and gritted his teeth: "This plain is called the Atlantic Coastal Plain, there are no big mountain ranges, and those people can't escape the tracking of hot air balloons." Unless they went to the Appalachian Mountains to the west, which couldn't be, they wouldn't be that stupid. ā
For the names he hadn't heard of, Santiago and Brad scratched their heads in confusion, and didn't ask any more, they understood that as long as Zheng Fei himself understood.
"Captain!"
A high-pitched voice simply stunned people.
"Captain, I've found it!"
Hearing this, Zheng Fei suddenly came to his senses, jumped out of the carriage and asked eagerly, "Where is it?"
"Observer No. 120 discovered that about sixty kilometers to the west, there was a large complex of buildings standing next to the river. ā
"Big river, big river?" Santiago said to himself.
"Mississippi River. Zheng Fei responded, thought for a moment, and ordered: "All turn around!"
