Chapter 12: A Sudden Shot
Siller Island, the base of the rebel pirates
"Chief Silk!" a man with a rusty broadsword stumbled into the house, looking at a tall, lanky man in his fifties in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Call me Captain. Silke frowned.
The man nodded hurriedly and panted, "Boat ...... Captain ......"
"What's wrong?" Silke asked.
The man said: "Our base in Asia Village has been destroyed by the navy. ”
Silk's tone was anxious and asked, "What's the matter?!"
"The navy, which had been silent, suddenly attacked, and quickly suppressed our outpost, the village of Asia. ”
"What about the villagers? they can't take them all, right?" asked Silk.
The man replied, "They have negotiated with the Garno Kingdom, and all the villagers of Asia have been taken captive by the Garno Kingdom's army. ”
"Damn!" Sickle punched on the table.
"Chief Silk!" another man rushed in.
Silke yelled, "Call me Captain!"
"Captain, there's a Navy ship coming towards us!"
"Bastard! Let's go! I don't believe the branch navy can beat us! That's a bunch of weak bugs that only eat people!" Silke rushed out of the house with a group of men, and immediately went to deploy men.
……
The sea off the island of Schiller
The ship, commanded by Colonel Adolf, was heading for the island of Siller.
Pointing to the island in front of him, where he could already see the outline, he said, "That's Celestial Island, usually deserted, with only a few families. Now it's the base of the rebellion against the pirates. ”
Rhodes leaned against the guardrail and squinted, "Did we get caught so soon?"
"It's no wonder that we were so aggressive in Asia Village that we didn't find out. Colonel Adolf seemed to have deliberately made such a big move before, and now he had a confident tone in his tone.
"But it doesn't matter. Rhodes was still talking to himself.
Colonel Adolf, who was still waiting for Rhodes to ask himself why he was so indifferent, found that Rhodes had not heard him at all, and shouted, "Hey, didn't you hear me?"
"Oh. Rhodes turned his head, dazed, "Did you just speak?"
"You don't give your boss any face!"
……
In front of the two, Tyton, who could be called a little fresh, silently watched the nonsensical quarrel between Rhodes and Colonel Adolf.
As the quarrel intensified, Tyton shouted at the right time, "Colonel!"
Colonel Adolf closed his mouth, looked at Celestial Island, which was already very close, and said coldly: "They have begun to organize defenses, and our landing will undoubtedly become difficult. ”
"The colonel is too worried, this group of pirates composed entirely of rioting villagers has no artillery, not even a few guns, and is basically robbing the old goods from the stock of a few small naval bases. Teton knew the pirates well, and seeing that Adolf was a little worried that the pirates on Cele Island would use artillery to stop their landing, he elaborated.
Adolf breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Look at their posture, they are going to fight with us." ”
"It's no wonder. Teton, who had only been in the army for a year, looked old, "We have broadside battles in almost every battle at sea. ”
Rhodes, who was listening from the sidelines, couldn't help but think of their crosshairs in the One Piece world, and it was difficult to hit one out of ten shots. In this way, the emergence of broadside battles becomes logical.
The warship slowly approached Joseph Island, and under Silk's command, the pirates began to arm and even built fortifications in a short period of time, but the fortifications looked rather weak.
Colonel Adolf had feared that the pirates would have artillery or other weapons to prevent the Navy from landing.
However, as Tyton said, he was completely relieved when he saw that the pirates, whom Raquinn called his henchmen, could not even pull out a few decent muskets. At the same time, Colonel Adolph was also secretly thinking in his heart about how weak the 197th branch and even the entire East China Sea Navy were under the command of Laquin.
Look back to Silke's side.
Even as beads of sweat continued to drip from Silk's head, his aching eyes were still staring straight ahead, and an old musket in his hand, which had been obsolete by the navy, was loaded and ready to kill the enemy.
"These ugly devils in the cloak of justice want to kill us!" shouted Silk, "they wantonly strip us of our wealth and even our families!
We have no choice, for revenge, to defend our dignity, to defeat this group of demons who are even more terrifying than pirates!"
Most of the pirates with trembling legs, nay, more accurately the villagers, stood firm, clutching at their various weapons and glaring at the navy on the warship.
"We will resist! Resist the devil! We will not give in!" Silke raised his gun and pointed it at the warship that had already docked, and he aimed at a faintly swaying figure on the warship, he knew that once the gun was fired, they would have no chance of surrendering. But they have a common enmity with the navy, and he has no scruples, and the big deal is death!
"Bang!" the bullet rang out.
"I'm going to take down the captain of this pirate group in a moment! I can't wait to get promoted!" Tyton said with a smile on the boat.
"Poof!"
Just as he wanted to continue, a sharp pain suddenly came from his chest, and the blood mist gushing out of his chest blocked his vision, and when the pain reached an extreme, his tense face suddenly relaxed, and then the whole person fell straight to the ground.
Rhodes, who was standing right next to Tyton, was splattered with blood. He was still with a faint smile on his face just now, and he was also sluggish at the moment. The whole ship fell silent.
After only a few seconds, the sailors who had been laughing were all strained, some began to mobilize their artillery, some hidden, and some prepared to land.
Colonel Adolphus helped Tyton up, and as he watched the blood gushing out of Tyton's mouth, he hurriedly shouted, "Ship doctor!"
It was as if Rhodes could hear nothing, he couldn't hear Adolf's shouts, he couldn't hear the roar of artillery, he couldn't hear the sound of muskets piercing the air back and forth, his whole head was buzzing.
After three years of grinding, he is very strong, much stronger than Adolf imagined. But he didn't participate in the battle after all, he thought that a battle could be over in a joke, he thought that there was no blood in the battle.
He thought that with his strength, everything would not be a problem.
And today, Tyton's blood refreshes everything for him.
