Chapter 157. The ploy of the Cult of the Drowning God
The smoke of gunpowder was filling, the inadequate burning of black powder brought a pungent smell, and in the gray smoke, the Spanish sailors wearing light orange uniforms slowly withdrew their guns and retreated, but just behind the twenty sailors in the front row, a row of Spanish sailors squeezed in again, and walked forward neatly, the flintlock pistols that had not yet been activated were still against their shoulders, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was also aimed at the front.

It was a wailing of the Ketuv River thieves, and the twenty or so thieves armed with short knives had almost all fallen in the first volley of guns, splashed all over their bodies in a bright red, and even if they did not die on the spot, they were all loud and miserable howls, testifying to the pain they had experienced.
The force of the thumb-sized lead bullet through the explosion of gunpowder has been instilled with unparalleled power, although the texture of the lead is soft, but it is not something that the linen clothes and skin muscles can stop, especially after passing through the smoothbore without rifling guidance, its own penetrating power has broken their fragile bones, and they all fell to the ground.
The lucky ones died on the spot, not experiencing the painful torture, but the unlucky ones were the ones who looked like a hole the size of a thumb, and bright red blood was flowing from it, but in fact the lead bullet had already torn the bones and internal organs inside, and it was difficult to save them from the tremendous force.
The shredding of internal organs in modern medicine represents serious injuries, not to mention the world of feudal times, where they can only howl and cry bitterly and beg for forgiveness, but the final result is nothing but death.
"Give them a treat."
Levi looked at the water thieves who were still howling miserably on the ground, squirming like insects and trying to live, the sound of anger and pleading and crying also made his ears a little noisy, and he couldn't help waving his hand forward, and said lightly to the sailors next to him: "This is a gift from God." ”
The twenty Spanish sailors who had not yet fired had a calm face, their eyes swept over the water thieves who were crying and cursing on the ground, and the muzzles of the black holes were also aimed at them.
This made the craftsmen and miners captured by the group of water thieves pale, and they all squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and their faces were also full of disbelief, the originally ferocious and terrifying water thieves were all annihilated in front of Li Wei in less than a few tens of seconds.
"Honorable lord, we were really threatened and kidnapped by this group of water thieves, if we don't come here to work for this group of water thieves, then our family in Samar City will be buried alive by this group of water thieves with us!"
Many craftsmen and miners wept and pleaded in low voices, they were ordinary civilians, where had they ever seen the real war of the regular army, especially with the death of the water thieves who were almost equal to the city defense team and the river patrol team, or even more terrifying than them, so easily, it made the hearts of these captured miners and craftsmen rise up in a fear like seeing the devil.
The blood of the more than twenty water thieves has stained the ground red, and even the skull that has been opened has white brains splashed around, and the recent craftsmen, although they are tall and big, but their faces are bloodless, and they can't help but close their eyes one by one, and their bodies tremble as if they are in the cold winter.
"The great drowning God teaches us that believing in God's will is God's test, and that when we get through it, we will gain God's favor!"
And in the crowd of these craftsmen and miners, there were two older fellows whispering something, like a mysterious force, and as they chanted, the miners and craftsmen also chanted these words, buzzing like piles of flies.
But when this voice reached Levi's ears, he couldn't help frowning, turned his head slightly to look at Hall, who had a grim face and a little chill in his eyes, and couldn't help but slowly speak: "If I heard correctly, is it the God of Drowning?" ”
"Yes, yes, this is the drowning god we believe in."
And the middle-aged craftsman leader who was originally waiting in front of Levi, his face was also respectful and flattering, he bent his waist slightly, and looked at Levi as if he was introducing: "That group of water thieves also seems to believe in the god of drowning, as long as we believe in this god, that group of water thieves will not punch and kick us too much, this is the divine power of the great god of drowning, which brings us peace here." ”
"It's so much fun."
Levi's face remained unchanged, looking at the two older grades in front of him, who looked like craftsmen in their fifties, he also pointed at the leader of the craftsman with his chin and asked, "What about the two of them?" Are you in the same boat? The two older ones didn't look like craftsmen, especially with their dry bodies that looked like old men about to enter their twilight years, and Levi snorted, "They don't look like craftsmen. ”
"No, no, no, they are missionaries who take good care of us, that is, they pass on the belief in the god of drowning to us, so that we don't have to be tortured and beaten by those water thieves, they are all good people!"
The leader of the craftsman noticed the inadequacy in Levi's words, but hurriedly defended the two missionaries, but he didn't dare to say too much, in front of Levi, he also felt the momentum of the superior, and an oppressive force made him tremble his legs and whispered: "They also preach to those water thieves, they are really good people, admirable preachers under the throne of the god of drowning." ”
A faint chuckle appeared at the corner of Levi's mouth, and Hall behind him couldn't help laughing, the believers of the God of Drowning didn't know how many they had killed in Baal Town, and now there were two more missionaries, which really made them feel fate.
"The artisans and miners of Samar City who were kidnapped, the preachers of the drowning god."
As a devout Catholic, Hall also had some kind of strange smile on his face, turned his head to look at Levi, and the flintlock pistol that had been loaded in his hand was also re-grasped in his hand, gently rubbing the barrel that was still slightly hot, and said slowly: "This is really complicated. ”
"It's complicated."
Levi also nodded, and he also very much agreed with Hall's words, especially looking at the craftsman leader in front of him whose face changed slightly, he shrugged his shoulders and shook his head a little helplessly: "If I say that you are all deceived by this group of water thieves and the so-called drowning believers, do you believe it or not?" ”
The artisans and miners who were kidnapped here really needed to dig silver ore and smelt silver ore for the Ketuf River thieves, and these missionaries of the so-called drowning god also gave this group of people who were already scared a certain amount of psychological comfort, and they could also take advantage of their fear and anxiety to convert this group of civilians into their own believers, and perhaps in the future, they could release this group of believers back to their hometown in Samar City.
In this way, Sama City has believers in the god of drowning, and it is the backbone of believers who are extremely devout to their beliefs after going through the ordeal, which is not only convenient for the friends around them to preach, but also more convenient for covering the actions of the drowning believers because they go deep into the grassroots.
"It's really a good idea."
Levi couldn't help but slap the Cult of the Drowning God who came up with this trick, and quietly cultivated the believers of Samar City, I am afraid that at the most critical time, he can directly overthrow the rule of the nobles of Samar City, just like the outer harbor and Baal Town of Grey Mist City.
This is a decisive effect, but Levi will not let this effect really happen, looking at Hall slightly, he also handed the flintlock pistol in his hand, and asked as if he was a little puzzled: "If a group of infidels appear before our eyes, how should we show them the glory from God in order to save this group of lost lambs?" ”
"Send them to heaven and see the glory of God."
Hall then spoke, the two flintlock pistols in his hands were already in his hands, and slowly moved forward, to the craftsmen and miners who were squatting on the ground with their hands folded and their eyes closed, praying, looking at the two preachers of the drowning gods, and said lightly: "I ask them to hold their heads in their hands, why do you want them to take their hands off their heads?" ”
But before the two old drowning believers could speak, Hall seemed to be very helpless and raised the flintlock pistols in his hands, and the muzzle of the black hole was directly aimed at the two old guys whose faces suddenly turned pale, and asked, "Who gave you the right?" ”
"Woo-"
The crisp sound of gunfire instantly appeared with his words, and the smoke and light of the fire also made the surrounding craftsmen and miners who were kneeling on the ground and still praying, have a look of horror and disbelief on their faces.
Because among them, the two missionaries who had brought them peace and security, when they wanted to open their mouths to explain what they had done, they didn't even expect that they would be blown off their heads by the lead bullets that rushed out of the chamber in an instant, and their whole heads were already in tatters, and they fell heavily backwards, and they couldn't die anymore.
