Armed with a fork stand and an arquebus, a long string of white vials hung diagonally from his body, a small teapot with iron edges, and a leather box. Obviously, these people who were armed with arquebuses and these items must have been musketeers. However, the men's attire did not match a real Spanish army musketeer at all.

The Spanish man on horseback became increasingly suspicious that a dozen men on the other side of the river were pirates. When the opponent suddenly and silently lined up in battle formation, he realized that danger had befallen him. Recklessly, he pulled the reins on his right side and tried to change direction for the straddled steed in order to escape from the place of death.

"Let's go, there's a bunch of pirates on the other side of the river!!" The white man grabbed the right reins and forcibly turned the horse's head to face the road from which he came. At this point, he seemed to miss a seemingly simple detail: as he turned his horse's head to flee, none of the arquebus-armed pirates on the other side of the river shot at him.

Just as the white man was about to flee, a white overseer with a handguard sword hanging from his waist reached out and grabbed the reins of the horse and looked up at him, "My lord, although these pirates are armed with heavy arquebuses, they still only have one chance to shoot. We should have rushed up and killed them after their first shot. ”

The anxious white man glared at the poor protein man he had hired in annoyance, "Bastard, if the first shot hits me but doesn't hit you, will you still get paid?" ”

The white overseer let go of his hand holding the horse's halter and looked indignantly at the pirates on the other side of the river. As the plantation owner fled on horseback, Isabel drew her bow with an arrow and aimed her iron arrow at the back of the white man on horseback. Then, with the three fingers of his right hand, an arrow shot out like lightning. As soon as the arrow was fired, she yelled, "Fire...!" ”

"Ahh Bang... Bang... "First came a scream from the horse, the white man with an arrow in the back, followed by the gunfire of the musketeers in two rows.

As soon as the smoke of gunpowder cleared, Fast ran to the river and scanned the grass on the other side of the river with wide eyes. I saw several corpses lying or lying on their stomachs on the grass, and on the outermost grass on the left was a corpse with an arrow stuck in its back.

"Hahaha...... All dead! In a few moments, his laughter filled the banks of the river. Looking back at his partner not far away, he shouted, "Captain, friends, these Spaniards have all been killed by us!" ”

Isabel, who originally just wanted to participate in the hunt, looked at the cheering musketeers beside her, shook her head and thought, "It's just that a few Spaniards were killed, why are they so happy?" ”

The group reached the east side of the river and ran across a wooden bridge to the other side of the river where the Spaniards had been killed. While several musketeers were busy searching for the bodies, Baldwin immediately asked Isabel, "Captain, where did these Spaniards come from?" ”

Isabel slung her longbow to her back, looked at the corpses on the grass with her hands on her waist, and said, "The men on horseback must be plantation owners, and these whips are black slave overseers, and there are plantations near here." ”

"Captain, since the men are dead, why don't we plunder their plantations?" Baldwin looked excitedly at his female captain.

"Yes, you can." Isabel nodded in agreement, then looked at Fast, who was searching for the corpse's belongings, "Fast, gather your team immediately and go to loot the plantation." ”

As soon as he heard that there were more benefits, Fast immediately stood up from the side of a corpse and agreed with the same excitement, "Yes, Captain." ”

Raiding a Spanish plantation is much more fun than just hunting. Not only can they rob the plantation owners of large amounts of property, food, wine, horses and wagons, but they can also capture a large number of black slaves who are the most valuable in the eyes of the plantation owners. Selling the slaves to other plantation owners could earn a large amount of money.

When it was time for dinner, the musketeers who had been sent out to the camp to hunt bison and wild boar returned to the camp one after another. Every musketeer had a smile on his face that he had gained a sense of accomplishment. As soon as they smiled, they knew that they had successfully completed the mission given to them by Isabel, and that the musketeers had brought them back to the camp not only a few bison and boars that had been shot and killed, but also many live boars and a few sturdy bison.

While the musketeers gathered in the camp's small square to talk excitedly about the hunt, Captain Hawkins did not see Isabel and the adjutant maritime among the returnees. Not only that, but even the musketeer captain Fast and a dozen musketeers did not appear in front of everyone.

Captain Hawkins grabbed a musketeer and asked in an unusually anxious tone, "Do you know where Miss Isabel and the maritime lieutenant and the captain of the musketeers are?" ”

The musketeer did not say a word, but after a moment of recollection, he said timidly, "Captain, the captain asked me and the others to go hunting for bison to the north of the forest. So... So, I don't know where they are. ”

At this moment, a sailor who served as a guard guard on the three-story watchtower stretched his upper body out of the watchtower and shouted as he looked at Captain Hawkins, "Captain, there are two carriages coming towards us from the south!" ”

"Sailor, do you see who is driving the carriage?" Captain Hawkins let go of the musketeer he was holding and looked up.

The sailor observed for a while, and then quickly laughed. Leaning out his upper body again, he shouted at Captain Hawkins, "Captain, it's the musketeers of the 1st Musketeers!" Miss Isabel must have returned. ”

"God willing, Mademoiselle has finally returned. But where did they get the wagon? Captain Hawkins pondered as he said to the adjutant of maritime beside him, "Quickly have the door open, Miss Isabel is back." ”

"Captain, if you don't come back, I'm afraid Captain Hawkins will send someone to search for you." Fast, who was sitting in the carriage of the first four-wheeled carriage, smiled and looked at Isabel opposite.

Isabel smiled lightly and glanced at the second carriage behind, "Fast, the captain never thought that we would encounter this. ”

Baldwin, the adjutant of maritime affairs, who was sitting next to Fast, put his hands relaxed on his erected knees, glanced at her with a smile, "Captain, I didn't expect to meet the Spaniards in such a desolate place. ”

Isabel looked up, squinting at the Caribbean sun, "Probably the plantation owner who hasn't had time to move out yet." They were unlucky today and met us. ”
