0172 Rock Climbing
Robey Cliffs.
This cliff lies in a fractured way across the southern side of the Kahawei Peninsula, with an altitude of 30-70 meters and a slope of 60-110 degrees.
Its true name is not known at all, and it was only because the villa of Robey Manor was built on the top of the cliff in front of him that Lorraine casually named it.
After all, with naming, everything will be much easier.
The Luobei precipice is 52.4 meters high, the slope is 82 degrees, almost straight, the rocks are abrupt, there are rocky beaches composed of schist blocks and broken reefs at the bottom, and the position of more than 100 meters from the cliff wall extends to the sea area, and the big ships can not approach at all.
Assault boats had no problems.
With a maximum draft of only half a metre, this flat-bottomed lifeboat has a narrow hull that allows it to penetrate most passages, and its sheer paddle power allows for easy control of advance and retreat, speed and even a simple turn......
In short, it was a ship built for such complex waters.
Relying on the moonlight, Lorraine soon found a hidden passage on the rocky beach, and the fleet circled along the passage, advancing more than 50 meters, and the road ahead was finally cut off.
"Next, let's walk."
Glancing at the cliff that was close at hand, Lorraine slowly raised her arm.
"All landed, dragged the assault boat ashore, and selected protruding reefs to tie tightly."
He jumped out of the boat and waded into a flat, smooth rock.
"Acharin, together with Ensign Sheffield, break up the sailors and sailors, and teach the landlubbers how to move on the reef as soon as possible. Silence is required, no open flames are seen, and rigging and rope ladders are brought along. ”
"Yes!"
The team was silent and busy, and gathered on the rocky beach with two groups and two supporting each other.
Leheed leaned over with a shallow foot, his face full of unhappy expressions: "Rock climbing, President Drake, you actually guessed the result before you set off, right?" ”
"What answer are you looking forward to?" Lorraine stretched her arm, "The situation before you set off is that you have been authorized by the Admiral to make a plan that can stand up to scrutiny. There was nothing wrong with the scheme itself, the beach was indeed more suitable for the landing of the advance party than the steep cliffs, and everything would be perfect if the high tide was avoided or the members of the advance party were replaced by sailors who were accustomed to the wind and waves. ”
However, neither of these things can be avoided. The best time to launch a night attack is one o'clock in the morning, excluding the time of rowing, and eleven o'clock at night is the most appropriate time to depart; You have soldiers you trust, and you don't choose unfamiliar sailors when it comes to the selection of key advance team members. ”
"In this case, the Admiral is not in a position to challenge your plan, and Major Collingwood and I are in no position to point out the lack of it. At the end of the day, our trust is limited, we have no actual experience to testify to, and no one can guarantee that you will be able to correctly interpret the advice from the Navy. ”
"So......" Lorraine grinned at Rashid, "you could have made climbing your backup plan B, because our goal is always the same, win, and make it back alive." ”
Rashid stared straight at Lorraine, "President Drake, I don't like you, or rather, I hate you very much. ”
"Probably...... In any case, there was never a need for the two of us to be united. ”
"Yes, it just needs to be good together. So what should the so-called Plan B do, Mr. Deputy Commander......"
……
"Watch your step! Try not to step on the dark, spiky rocks! There's the high tide line, and there's probably moss, and it's more likely to be shriveled and slippery seaweed! ”
"The reef is very sharp, and every fall can make you see God, so avoid all possible dangers and follow in the footsteps of the front! The judgment of the sailors is much more reliable than your whims, learn to listen, learn to rely on! ”
"Silence, follow! Rookies, rocky beach is the territory of the sea, but it is not as gentle as land! ”
The procession of more than 100 people marched slowly on the rugged rocky beach, for it was not known whether there were any guards on the cliff, torches were not allowed, no loud noises were allowed, and all instructions were carried out in a head-to-ear manner, with a chaotic buzzing and no well-trained demeanor.
They traveled only 50 meters, but in the middle of the night, when their vision was unclear, in order to avoid possible danger zones, they actually traveled a much longer route than a straight line.
After walking for nearly twenty minutes at a distance of 50 meters, Lorraine's hand finally touched the cold rock wall.
"This is it." Raising his hand to order the entire advance team to stop and rest against the cliff wall, Lorraine patted the tortoise in front of him, bent down to untie the rigging, and the sailor knotted a big live opening, straddled diagonally over his shoulder, "Hena, you go up first, and get rid of the sentry who may find us." I'll follow you. ”
"Be careful." Henna nodded, and leaped forward, her body already firmly sucked into the cliff like a gecko.
Her slender hands and feet were wide open, clinging to the rocks, dancing and crawling upwards.
After about five minutes, Lorraine spat in the palm of her hand and began to climb up the path of Henna.
It's not a difficult task, because the Robey Cliff is a natural shale structure, and there are not many weeds or trees on the cliff wall, but there are countless places to borrow it. The only risk is that no one can guarantee that the next rockfall will be real or false, and if it is false, then at the same time as the rock falls, Lorraine will also fall with the stone, and simply fall into flesh.
He had to concentrate on picking a new foothold, grabbing and stepping on and stepping on, beware of falling into a trap.
After climbing nearly fifteen meters cautiously, he suddenly heard the wind above him.
As soon as he looked up, a black shadow was falling from the sky at a very high speed, smashing down on his head.
Even if he couldn't see what the black shadow was for a while, Lorraine could know that if he was hit by it, he would definitely be unlucky.
Avoid!
He subconsciously put the whole person close to the cliff wall, and only a protruding boulder on the right side of his eyes remained, and suddenly, he jumped!
This jump Lorraine crossed a distance of nearly three meters in mid-air, and the ape's arm stretched and firmly grasped the target stone, shaking, watching the black shadow pass in front of him, and fell to the bottom of the cliff with a pop, making a muffled sound of skin and flesh touching the ground.
An irrepressible scream came from the dark cliff bottom.
"Good ...... Risk"
Lorraine breathed a long sigh of relief, and with the force of his right arm, he turned his body back into the cliff, reaching his toes, and quickly found a new place to land.
Henna looked at him with her head on the cliff.
With the bright moon on her back, looking from Lorraine's point of view, Henna's entire face was hidden in the shadows, and she couldn't distinguish the outline and expression at all, but her emerald eyes were still shining, revealing worry and self-reproach, making people recognize her identity at a glance.
Lorraine raised her hand and made a gesture of "It's okay" at Henna, Henna's shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was relieved, she stretched out her arms on the edge of the cliff, and danced the flag at Lorraine.
[Three sentinels, two patrol dogs, all cleared.] It was the dog that fell just now, and there was an accident during the removal process, but it didn't alarm the villa, peace of mind]
[Far away from me] Lorraine picked out the words that could be expressed with one arm, "Keep on guard, I'm coming up".
