Chapter 383: The Fortress That Miraculously Appeared
It took more than half an hour for the pirates to successfully transport a total of eleven guns to land. 35xs
Because an agreement had been made with the mermaids, all the pirates were ready to participate in the next battle, except for a dozen or so pirates who were still physically injured and stayed on the battleship because they were unable to fight.
And after the pirates all landed, the mermaid warrior who led Yefeng and them to the best landing place on the nearby coastline also immediately dived into the sea and disappeared from everyone's sight.
In addition to reporting information to the queen of the mermaid clan, the more important point is that even if she continues to stay at this time, it will not help her in the next battle, after all, once she is off the water, then the mermaid who can easily set off a huge storm in the ocean and easily kill a battleship is the opposite when she arrives on the shore.
An ordinary warrior can take out a mermaid!
At this time, Ye Feng's eyes are greeted by a dense rainforest, trees several meters high can be seen everywhere, and in the distance, you can see endless mountains!
βshitοΌβ
What bastard told me this was just an island! At this time, Ye Feng couldn't help but curse in a low voice, because he suddenly found that the mountains in front of him were endless, which meant that they would have to climb one or more mountains before they could reach the camp where the navy was stationed!
In his original plan, he thought that the highest mountain here was just a hill, how could he have imagined that it would be at least 200 meters above sea level!
It's a pity that now that they have already started to act, then they can only take one step at a time.
Because the sky was completely dark at this time, and in the pitch black environment, the light of the fire could easily be detected by enemies several kilometers away.
Therefore, the pirates could only see the road ahead by the moonlight. 35xs
Fortunately, the weather around the island is still sunny these days, and it is in the middle of each month, so the moon is round and bright at this time.
This is also good news for the night fronts who can only move forward in the dark at this time.
After walking through the hard rocky terrain, they were about to enter the dense woods, but Nightblanc had Dire Wolf and Hunter carry two of the more agile pirate scouts into the rainforest ahead of the group.
Because in the dense and complex rainforest, only agile dire wolves and hunters can move forward with ease, and it is already very good for ordinary humans to be able to move forward at a normal walking speed.
What's more, because this time they had to push more than a dozen cannons together, and the spacing between the trees in the rainforest was not very large, basically the distance between the trees was only one or two meters, and there were lush grasses and vines spreading around like spider webs between the trees!
Although these vines are only the size of a person's thumb, their toughness is really good, and it takes two or three knives to cut down a vine with a sharp sailor's knife.
At this time, the road was covered with these vines, and while they did not hinder the pirates' movements, they were a problem for the artillery that had to be transported on wheels, especially the knock-off wheels that had been converted from oak covers.
They can't stand the long bumps!
In normal times, the best solution to this situation would undoubtedly be to use a large fire to burn all the vines that were blocking the team's progress, along with the woods.
After all, no matter how tough these vines are, they are powerless in the face of natural disasters such as fires.
However, the current situation does not allow Ye Feng to use this method at all, so he has to adopt a stupid method, that is, since he can cut these vines with one knife, then use three or even four knives, no matter how tough these vines are, they are not real steel after all.
Under the hard and sharp knife and axe, it is finally able to cut a path hard.
It's just that in this way, the speed of the original team was not very fast, and now it is even slower.
Fortunately, at this time, there is still nearly a week before Ye Feng completely completes the main quest and returns to Nightmare Space, so in terms of time, it is quite sufficient.
It is worth mentioning that in this rich rainforest, from the beginning of entering the rainforest until now, the team has not encountered animals or insects.
After observing, Night Blade found that the reason why the team had not been harassed by all kinds of blood-sucking insects in the Evil Land so far was because of the skeleton knight and three skeleton war horses.
As undead creatures, they have always exuded a cold death aura around them all the time, which may not be felt by ordinary people, but it is very obvious to sensitive animals or insects.
The moon stars are sparse, and the bright moonlight is quietly sprinkled in the dark rainforest, at this time, under the slightly bright moonlight, suddenly two black shadows flashed in the rainforest.
Because the speed of these two black shadows is too fast, ordinary people subconsciously think that they are dazzled and mistaken when they see it.
At this time, in front of the two black shadows, a large team of nearly 100 people was also walking slowly towards the route passed by the black shadows.
A few minutes later, Ye Feng, who was sitting on the skeleton warhorse, suddenly opened his eyes with half-squinted eyes, and then in the next second, two huge figures suddenly jumped out of the dark grass in front of him, one left and one right.
Under the still bright moonlight, you can vaguely see that the black shadow on the left is the most ordinary wolf in the forest, but this wolf is several times the size of an ordinary wolf, almost as tall as an adult bison!
The black shadow on the right is a hunter with a red body, huge bone claws, and a strange long tongue that is two meters long!
When these two black shadows just jumped out, the pirates in the team were shocked, but then when they saw the appearance of these two black shadows, they immediately relaxed their vigilance.
Because the pirates knew very well that these two hideous-looking and terrifying creatures had been summoned by the powerful captain through black magic.
As soon as the two hideous-looking creatures leaped out, they immediately crept at Nightfeng's feet like tame puppies.
At the same time, two smaller pirates jumped off the two monsters.
"Report to the captain! We've found the enemy camp, but it's ......"
Looking at the appearance of the two pirates' subordinates, Ye Feng couldn't help but frown and said, "It's just what? β
The two pirates looked at each other, and then the pirate on the left said, "Well, through the giant wolf summoned by the captain, we soon saw the enemy's camp on the top of the hill over there. β
"It's just that it's more of a bunker fortress than a camp, with a rock wall nearly ten meters high erected around it."
"According to our visual observations, even the twelve-pounder gun, the largest caliber we have, would need at least two or more shells to hit the same place in the face of such a thick rock wall to be able to damage the wall."
"As for the shells fired by those three-pounder guns, except for the twelve-pounder guns, even if they bombarded one place a dozen times, they might not be able to collapse such a thick stone wall in the end."
At this time, after listening to the stories of the two subordinates, Ye Feng's first reaction was that it was impossible, because of the relationship between the mermaids in the depths of Whitehat Bay, so few humans would set foot here.
In fact, this is the fundamental reason why the Spanish Santiago has not been discovered until now, and this sea area has been inhabited by mermaids for generations since ancient times, so it is impossible for the fortress described by the two pirates to exist on the island!
Because such a fortress cannot be built overnight, but must be built by a huge force over a long period of time, little by little, and it is unimaginable to spend money to build a stone wall made entirely of rocks here.
It is simply impossible to build such a fortress on the island without the mermaid clan, unless a miracle occurs, and someone can conjure a solid fortress out of thin air in just a few days.
But is such a thing possible?
Although there was not even a 10% chance of such a thing, on the other hand, Yefeng believed that his men would not tell such a lie at this moment.
For there is no need for such a lie to exist, because when they come there, it will be clear whether there is a fortress or not, as the scouts say.
Therefore, it is pointless to tell such lies!
However, if this is true, then it means that the enemy has really built a solid, well-fortified fortress in just a few days.
This is undoubtedly very unfavorable for Ye Feng's next attack plan, after all, encounters in the wild and sieges are completely different things!
The former only needs the combat effectiveness of the two sides to be not much different, but in the latter, the strength of the besieging side must be at least 3 times that of the defending side.
Thinking of this, Nightfront immediately clicked on the sorcerer Dembara, the black man whose eyes had been transformed by the evil alchemist, and finally one of the two scouts who had just returned.
