308. Raleigh's Disaster

It's been four months since I've been in this place, damn it! What the hell am I, Walter Raleigh, the chosen one, the future Sir Raleigh, doing here?

Bad luck started in the Caribbean, first in a big battle with the Spaniards, I lost two small boats, and the Spaniards were sunk by me a Karak ship, and we were leveled.

Unfortunately, on the way north, I met pirates right after! These inhuman guys beat me up again!

Luckily, I'm not a vegetarian either, and at the cost of more than thirty sailors, I finally got rid of these spinnaker guys!

And here I am—I have called it "Virginia," which is the Virgin Land, not to please my holy, supreme, dear queen of gold!

But as soon as I arrived, I started to have bad luck! I went out to sea with nearly a thousand sailors, and when I arrived here there were more than seven hundred.

In order to bring the good news to Elizabeth as soon as possible, I sent the fellow Cisse back to London in a small boat with eighty men, and brought the good news to the old woman—she must have laughed very happily! Just like every time you look at me!

Of course, I also had someone to bring her a message, I was attacked by the Spaniards here! I need assistance. How does it feel like you're coquettish like that old woman?

Alas, there is no way, who made her the queen, with the resources I desperately need, I can only sell the hue!

I think that when I first met the Queen through my brother Gilbert, and my "rival in love," the Earl of Blue Caust, I spread my gorgeous cloak in the muddy pool in front of her in order to get her attention, so that she could cross the distance of two feet!

But the rewards were very generous and "affordable", and the "gift" at the beginning was a big house in London. I was able to get out of poverty and become rich by bringing in more than £2,000 a year from the franchise of running a hotel.

And this year, 1584, Elizabeth gave me the concession to monopolize the export of woolen fabrics, damn it! I'm rich enough on this, so why shouldn't I be satisfied?

At the beginning of the year, I relied on the permission of my deceased brother Gilbert to bring the money Elizabeth gave me—and, of course, the "Virginia Company" that I formed in her name, and raised a lot of money from hundreds of nobles!

Otherwise, where would I have the strength to come here? Doing such a dangerous thing?

What a ghost!

Blame that Indian for being dishonest! Knowing his own ending, he deliberately deceived me!

At that time, this Indian named "Dan" was caught by me, and I just asked about the location of the gold mine, of course, the movement of my men was not very comfortable, but at that time I actually had no intention of killing immediately!

Roanoke! He told me there was gold on Roanoke Island! I believed it, and a man as wise as I believed the nonsense of an Indian who couldn't even write a word!

There's your sister's gold on Roanoke Island! No! There's only Chamcham there!

I sent out more than 400 people, all of whom were armed to the teeth of nobles - although these guys were not elite and a little squeamish, but they were not the ones who used stone axes and stone spears to fight with muskets?

However, it turned out that only more than 50 people escaped! Three hundred and fifty are gone!

Where the hell did they go? When I saw that all the people who came back were so frightened that they could only say "Chamcham", I couldn't help but be angry!

Damn "Chamcham", what the hell is that! Is it more powerful than a musket?

In a fit of rage, I docked two hundred feet from Roanoke Island with my fleet and fired nearly half of the artillery ammunition on the island, but I didn't even shoot a monkey!

However, perhaps it was the mysterious and strange "Chamcham" that caused me to fall into blood mold!

First of all, contagion! Infectious diseases began to spread on the ship! I had to order the old men to land in Virginia and get as many strongholds as they could with the resources available.

Well, these aristocratic young masters and lords who don't touch the spring water with their fingers, these fools who have made a fortune with the new big * land, if they take the best materials and build a fence, it can be regarded as a stronghold!

I thought that as soon as I landed, as long as I landed, as long as I ate fresh fruits and vegetables, and enough rum, these infectious diseases would disappear without a trace, but I was wrong.

In addition to the pre-existing diseases that seem to have worsened after landing, these old men and young masters have contracted new diseases! The mosquitoes here are bigger than the canaries! After biting someone, it's all about character!

In just these two or three months, more than a hundred young masters have died under mosquito bites! I also burned as usual, but the disease was still not controlled!

I took the remaining 250 people to escape from this damn place, but the bad luck is not over yet! Far from over!

We're starting to get rats on board! The grain was almost all gnawed! I'm sure we'll have to eat dead rats if we don't travel half the way to the sea!

But the cat brought ...... He died! What's going on? Have we sinned against any of the gods?

In order to survive, we had to solve the problem of eating on the spot. Twenty people would go out hunting and ten would go out fishing every day, but for a few days, about two sailors would be lost every day!

Yes, lost! There was nothing out of the ordinary, and no one noticed the situation, but there were two fewer per day! Trace!

But if you don't find something to eat, everyone will die, so I sent more people, half of them went out every day, half of them looked after the house, but there were still people who disappeared sporadically!

I'm really going crazy! So I had to lead the team out in groups, which seemed to be a lot safer, but it was much less efficient. But for the sake of safety, there is no way to do it!

Finally, once I found the culprit behind the disappearance of the sailor! It's those Indians! They wore straw skirts and camouflage all over their bodies, almost blending in with their surroundings!

I hadn't noticed them, but one day when I walked to the stream, I suddenly felt the urge to urinate! When I walked to the side of the road to solve the problem, I suddenly stepped on a soft, moving thing!

I started to think it was a snake! It almost scared me out of my mind at that moment! The cobra of the new big * land is almost incomprehensible! If you are bitten by them, you will have to go to God!

Frightened, I pulled out the demon knife, but I didn't dare to move my feet in the slightest!

Snakes are biting more and more! So I'm going to slowly lower down and kill this poisonous snake with one blow!

But when I bent down, I suddenly saw a face! A face painted with oil paint!

It's the Indians! We were stunned when we saw each other, and then I yelled!

This guy is really okay, his left hand was trampled by my leather boot foot for a long time, and he didn't move at all! If I hadn't found out, I'm afraid he would have hid it like this!

When this guy was discovered, he immediately slashed his right hand at my ankle against the ground! The scimitar flashed with a faint blue light, and it looked like it was poisoned!

If I dodge, I'm afraid that his left hand will get out of control, and he will immediately have to fit and pounce on me! If you want me to say it's a shame, buddy, I've practiced it!

I slammed my other foot on his wrist at the moment of emergency, and with a soft "click", his knife came out of his hand, and "dang chang" fell to the ground on the side!

This guy was trampled on by my left hand, and he couldn't get out, and he used his left hand to pull his whole body against the ground to my leg! When he got to me, he opened his mouth and was about to bite my calf!

Who knows if he has a contagion! I was so shocked that I kicked out the knee of my left leg and put it on the side of his skull!

This guy didn't even have time to make a sound, and I kicked him unconscious on the spot!

I didn't have to wipe my sweat, but when I looked up again, the battle around me was almost over! After all, these natives can't beat my musket team!

They whispered "Chamcham" and retreated like monkeys! Only blood and corpses were left behind......

In this battle, we lost fifteen men, seven of whom were seriously wounded at the time, and two of whom were poisoned and later died.

These Chamchams left twenty-seven corpses, as well as the lurker I kicked unconscious.

We took the captive back to camp in fear, but what I didn't know was that I had brought myself a bomb!

We tortured him so hard that he almost died, but he still just closed his eyes and said, "Chamcham!" "Champham!"

What do we get? In the dead of night, after a few chirping of unknown animals, there are always arrows that come from nowhere to attack our sentinels! A lot of people have died for this, and now they almost dare not send a sentry to stand guard!

The fresh water we drink and the wild vegetables we eat also have problems from time to time, and many people foam at the mouth after eating and die a lot! So now we'd rather eat with rats than eat something from an unknown source!

On top of that, all kinds of animals seem to have become our enemies, and even the always docile bobcat will take the initiative to pounce on our sailors!

Worm's poor eggs were bitten off by the bobcat, and when he survived, his voice became so shrill that he was like a woman!

Yes! My God! What exactly am I doing wrong? Why endure these nonsensical encounters!

Isn't the Queen the Chosen One? Shouldn't it be God's will for me to do things for her? Even if I have disrespect for her in my heart—I will change it—it won't leave me without a way to live!

I looked at the remnants of food and fresh water, and the hundred and eighty half-dead guys, and I knew that if help didn't come, we wouldn't survive this fall!

My God! Have mercy on us! Where exactly is the backup? Dear Queen Elizabeth, have you forgotten me? I'm your dear little Raleigh! Where the hell are the reinforcements you've sent?

Just as I was sneering, Herald Tommy suddenly ran in and shouted, "Captain! Chamcham...... Chamcham is here again! ”

My hairs stood on end! Why are these damn ghosts here again?

Without cursing, I picked up the pistol from the table and rushed out with Tommy in desperation!
