Chapter XXV. The blood of the sword
"My dear friend, what are you doing, admiring the moon in the night?" The sound of ridicule erupted in this cold field, like the only light in the night, and all the pirates' eyes couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"
Cowhide boots stepped on the simple gravel road, perhaps because the pace was too hard, or the body was too heavy, suddenly brought out a noisy sound.
However, at this moment, the hearts of all the pirates in the field seemed to stop beating, and they all pulsated with the sudden sound of footsteps.
"Our friend, are we not hospitable? Are you so desperate to get out of here? With the words full of mockery, the figure that was originally in the darkness was also revealed in the light of the fire.
Dressed in the standard French officer's attire, with a small flintlock pistol at his waist, and a sharp sword unsheathed in his hand, his resolute face had eyes that no ordinary person could match.
"Hats off, Master Kitt." With the appearance of this figure, a neat and uniform voice also sounded, but perhaps he was worried that there would be any change in these pirates, so the soldiers around him all skipped the process of marching and saluting.
"Run!" A loud roar suddenly sounded, and the panicked pirates around were stunned, but almost subconsciously, the group of pirates began to disperse quickly in all directions.
And at the first moment when these pirates made a move, the black barrels of the guns also sprayed out fire snakes again, and the roar instantly overwhelmed everything.
"Bang bang-"
The smoke of gunpowder was filling, and the thick and pungent smell of black powder was particularly unpleasant, and even those town militiamen who had been exposed to gunpowder all year round couldn't help frowning at this time.
With this sudden round of shooting, the pirates who had fled first had not taken a few steps before their figures fell in a pool of blood, followed by a stream of mournful wails and cries.
The huge impact of the bullet is beyond the strength of a weak human body, and after mercilessly tearing open the surface of the skin, these seemingly inconspicuous pieces of iron still ruthlessly pierce the pirate's internal organs, bringing out a splattered line of blood.
As the figures in the front fell without the slightest resistance, those pirates who had been moving also stopped in a hurry, and their faces were hard to see, and the bloody images of the battle a few days ago resurfaced in their minds, and now, the power of the musket once again completely shocked these pirates, and under the threat of death, these pale pirates no longer had the courage to take another step forward.
Fear, restlessness, restlessness, panic...... All sorts of emotions came at these pirates.
"I guess everyone is not in such a hurry to get out of here now."
"So, I would like to ask you, who is it that is so dissatisfied with our hospitality?"
Kit's face was still filled with a faint smile, but anyone could feel the coldness and anger under that slightly mocking smile.
"Can you tell me? My dear friend. Kit stepped forward, casually pointing to a pirate on the edge.
"I don't know......" Xu felt the cold gaze behind him, and the pirate's originally pale face suddenly became a little heavier, but he also had to answer stiffly, but anyone could clearly feel the deep fear in those words.
"Good." Seemingly completely indifferent to the other party's answer, Kit's figure took a few steps to the side, as if he was about to miss the other party.
Seeing this scene, the pirate was stunned and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of ruddy instantly appeared on his originally pale face, as if he was glad that he had escaped.
But at this moment, Kit's body turned abruptly, and the sharp long sword quickly slashed through the opponent's throat, and the strong body gave him great strength, and the long sword swinging at high speed was like a spinning flywheel.
And with a flash of blood, the blood-red human head also rolled to the ground, and the red blood stains were sprinkled on the ground, and the pirate who thought he had escaped did not seem to have reacted to what was going on, and there was still a smile on his face that gradually lost his spirit.
The sudden change made all the pirates' bodies tremble unconsciously, and they lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at them at all.
"And what about you, you know?"
The devilish voice sounded again, and the face of the pirate who was asked was instantly extremely pale, and there was no trace of blood, and a trace of dead air began to spread out in the dark pupils.
The sharp gaze like a knife swept from behind, although he turned back, but the pirate could clearly feel the strong warning meaning, but when he thought of the tragic situation of the person in front of him, the pirate's body couldn't help but weaken, and then obediently surrendered.
"It's Boss Wood, Boss Barnes, and Boss Tamir......"
"Damn shit." Almost as soon as the pirate spoke, the pirate leaders who had planned this escape did not retreat in a hurry, but rushed forward in unison.
Surrounded by well-armed soldiers, the pirate leaders lost all confidence in competing with them after two successive encounters of the power of the muskets.
It is obviously impossible to escape from this place surrounded by wolves, and their only chance is to grasp the existence of the seemingly officer in front of them, and only by capturing the other party will there be a trace of life.
Almost as soon as the pirate spoke, four figures rushed out, their fierce eyes flashing with determination, and the figure in front of them was the only possibility for them to survive.
Perhaps because he was too confident, or because he thought that the pirates couldn't make any waves, Kitt only had two guards with him, while the rest of the soldiers surrounded him.
The two pirate leaders pounced on Kitt's two guards like wolves, entangling them to death, while the other two pirates pursued Kit with their eyes in their eyes, each holding a sharpened stone.
"Bold!"
"Look for death!"
……
The surrounding soldiers obviously did not anticipate the change in the scene, but because the two sides were so close, these town militias did not dare to fire muskets, and the spearmen around them had no time to rescue, so they had to let out angry shouts.
ps: Thanks to "Rym" for the 100 coins he gave him.
