Chapter 649: The Wrath of the Gods (Page 1/1)

The mountains and forests of Taiyuan Island are densely wooded, and there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants. Even the natives who live in it need to be careful if they want to walk through it, and if they are not careful, they will become fertilizer in this mountain forest.

And that's not all, the deadliest of them are tropical diseases, of which malaria is the worst. The Ming people called it miasma, and every time it broke out, it would form a plague, and if it was not handled well, it would spread among the people.

It is not known whether the drug for malaria has been manufactured, and it will not be introduced to the Ming Dynasty for at least a few decades. Therefore, people walking in the jungle are cautious, for fear that they will be infected with the disease.

The guide in charge of leading the way is the soldiers of the Potbelly Kingdom, since their king Amira was captured by the Changxing army in Chicken Coop Harbor, many people from the Potbelly Kingdom have gone to Chicken Coop Harbor to continue to serve their king under the rule of outsiders. These people who went to Chicken Coop Harbor were called "traitors" by them.

But there are still some people who have to fight to the end, and they often sneak into areas controlled by the Changxing Army to attack those they call traitors.

The attackers had some success and burned down several plantations. But more of them were wiped out by the traitors they called and the Changxing Army, and after several heavy losses, they no longer had the strength to harass.

Those who remain have lost a large number of people and life in the jungle is even more difficult. Just when they were about to despair, the Dutch people came to their aid.

Not only did they get food and weapons, but they were also able to follow the Dutch to attack the outsiders in the northern part of Taiyuan Island. This rekindled the fighting spirit of the people of the Potbelly Kingdom, who were almost in despair, and led by another royal family, Marlowe, led the last of the five thousand warriors on the road to the northern part of Taiyuan Island.

Marlowe is not as fat as Amira, at least in appearance, more like a warrior. He was small but strong, dark-skinned, and often armed with a large axe to boost the morale of his warriors.

A procession of more than 7,000 people walked along the path in the jungle, and Marlowe stood on a large rock on the side of the road and raised his arms and shouted: "Warriors of the Potbelly Kingdom! Strangers have coerced our king, and today I will take you to our king.

Warriors! Fight bravely! The gods will bless us to drive out the strangers and restore our king. Warriors! This battle will be won! ”

The soldiers of the Big-Bellied Kingdom who heard Marlowe's shout cheered along, and they were all angry and eager to fight to the death with the outsiders in Chicken Coop Harbor and Tamsui City immediately.

After shouting for a while, Marlowe was a little tired. He jumped off the big rock, grabbed the water bladder, and poured a large mouthful of water on his head. The sweet mountain spring water made Marlowe's throat feel a lot better, and he looked at his army with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty! The speech just now is so wonderful, you should give a few more speeches, then our morale will definitely be greatly improved, and defeating those damn Ming people will not be a problem at all! A blond man whispered from behind Marlowe.

"Lieutenant Colonel Peter! The warriors of the Potbelly Kingdom are estimated to be invincible, but the speed of your Dutch march is a little slow, and it is impossible to reach Tamsui City within the stipulated time! Marlowe said back to the blonde man.

Peter bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty! My lads are not used to marching in the jungle when they first disembark, but they will get used to it in two days' time, don't worry! ”

"Oh well! But ask the lieutenant colonel to restrain your soldiers, as unbridled killings will draw the wrath of the mountain gods. Then disaster will strike, and everyone present will not be spared! Marlowe said as he stared at Peter with a blank face.

Peter didn't care, and said lightly: "Your Majesty! My lads came to the East after half a year on the ship, and they needed to vent their emotions in order to have sufficient combat effectiveness.

I think it's very necessary to boost morale with a few clans that are not under your control. Please rest assured, we will not harass the people of the Potbelly Kingdom, let's discuss the route of the march! ”

The corners of Marlowe's mouth moved, and finally he didn't speak. He remembered the tribe he had passed by yesterday, and that tribe was neither willing to leave the Potbelly Kingdom nor to follow Marlowe's orders to send troops to fight outsiders.

As a result, they were sacked by the Dutch, and none of the men, women, and children of the tribe escaped the Dutch poison. In particular, the women died very miserably, and the screams could be heard clearly even by Marlowe, who was stationed a mile away.

Although the tribe was burned to the ground afterwards, everyone knew what happened there. From there, the soldiers of the Potbelly Kingdom began to look at the Dutch people less friendly, and began to be constantly wary of this group of Xiyi.

Marlo knew that the Dutch beast was powerless to stop it, and he really needed a big victory to secure his position as he had just ascended the throne.

Working with the Dutch was the best option, as they were using all-metal weapons for the first time, and many were confident in the battle.

They marched over the mountains and mountains to the northern part of Taiyuan Island, and after less than three days of marching, some Dutch people fell ill after the war.

The sick Dutch people were hot and cold, sometimes swinging around. Marlowe and the soldiers of the Potbelly Kingdom immediately walked as far as they could when they saw such a Dutchman, for fear of being affected.

When questioned by Lieutenant Colonel Peter, Marlowe shook his head helplessly. said: "Force the lieutenant colonel!" This is the consequence of angering the gods, and those who anger the gods are simply hopeless. The best thing to do is to abandon them to the mountains, there is no cure at all! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Peter didn't believe in the gods, but he also knew that his soldiers were sick. However, he did not heed Marlowe's advice, and ordered to take the sick soldiers and continue the march towards Tamsui City.

Seeing that Lieutenant Colonel Peter did not listen to the advice, Marlowe immediately distanced his troops from the Dutch. Even those who were not sick were not allowed to come near their ranks, and Lieutenant Colonel Peter could do nothing about it.

The Dutch people in the mountains and forests were not familiar with the terrain at all, and if they were left in the mountains, it was estimated that half of them would make it back to the city of Resharan alive.

The lieutenant colonel who didn't dare to turn his face forced him to endure the anger in his heart for the time being, and looked at the big-bellied kingdom soldiers who were leading the way in front of him, and his eyes were full of resentment.

He thinks that all this is that Marlowe is messing around, otherwise the soldiers of the Potbelly Kingdom will have nothing to do, and his soldiers are sick one after another.

As the northern part of Taiyuan Island approached, the number of sick people in the ranks of the Dutch was also increasing. Starting with the first soldier who fell ill, the first soldier who died of illness appeared three days later.

Having buried the emaciated soldier with his own hands, Marlowe's anger had reached its peak. He came to Marlowe's camp with the soldiers who could still move, and he wanted to ask for and explain.

Outside Marlowe's camp, the Dutch soldiers immediately lined up and prepared for the attack.
