Chapter 358: The Pirates Are Coming (10)
On Paradise Island, Arthur and his men also walked to the entrance of the cave that connected to the mysterious canyon, and when he saw the pirates staying at the entrance of the cave, he asked, "What are you doing here, Leonards?" ”
"Lord Arthur, Lord Leonard thinks those islanders may be hiding in this cave, so he led someone inside to search for it."
"People hiding in here?" Arthur poked his head into the cave, and the darkness inside was not the slightest bit angry, and he asked the pirates who stayed behind, "Leonard, how long have they been in?" Hasn't there been any movement in there? ”
The pirate shook his head and said, "Lord Leonard, they've been in for a while, and they haven't moved since they entered. ”
Leonard led people into a dark cave and didn't come out for a long time, and if you think about it, you can think that something must have happened, but what can happen in a cave with so many men and so many guns? Arthur was a little confused, should he bring someone in to see it himself?
While he was hesitating, one of his men suddenly ran from the direction of the dock in a panic, and seeing them like they were ghosts, Arthur quickly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ya, Lord Arthur, oh no, there's a fleet coming!"
"What!" Arthur was shocked and asked, "What fleet?" Where did it come from? How many boats are there? ”
"It's, it seems, it's like the army of the British Empire, there are three large warships!"
"That's not right! It's five! ”
"That's not right! It's six! ”
The pirates are more than the other, and Arthur is also confused, but although he can't figure out the specific size and number of the fleet, judging from the panicked actions of his subordinates, the coming fleet must have brought them huge psychological pressure, Arthur pulled out his stunner and fired a shot into the sky and scolded: "Don't panic!" What's there to panic about! There are so many of us, so many guns, and how many broken ships are still afraid? ”
"But Lord Arthur, our weapons and equipment are too inferior to theirs, the other side must be the elite troops of the British Empire, we can't ...... it", a gunshot rang out! Before the mouthy pirate could finish his words, Arthur was shot in the head and received a boxed lunch.
Arthur said to the crowd: "It must be an army that happened to pass by, it could not be the elite of the British Empire!" We've only been here for a day, and there's no way the news could get out so quickly! ”
Scar Man asked Arthur, "Lord Arthur, what are we going to do next?" Or will I take my brothers and kill them? ”
"No!" Arthur waved his hand and said: "The other side has the artillery support of large warships, it will only be a dead end for us to rush to seize the dock, our best way now is to find those islanders who are hiding as soon as possible, with them as hostages, we don't have to worry about those troops!" ”
Scar Man nodded, "Master Arthur has a point, so should we go into this cave?" ”
"If you don't enter, this cave looks a little strange, Leonard has not come out for so long with people, there must be some danger inside, count him unlucky! Let's hurry up and arrest someone! ”
After saying that, Arthur hurriedly retreated to the deeper part of the island with a large army, and the pirates who were originally guarding the entrance of the cave thought about it and left with Arthur.
Soon, Duke Jackson and the others boarded the dock of Paradise Island, looking at the empty Paradise Island, Duke Philip couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Alas, I didn't expect a good island to become like this, if Her Majesty saw it, she would be very sorry, Duke Jackson, do you think we should truthfully report what we saw on Paradise Island to Her Majesty and all the people?" ”
Duke Jackson glanced at Duke Philip and said, "How to report to Her Majesty the Queen is your business, but I want to remind you that it is up to you to be responsible for what you say." ”
Duke Philip looked at Duke Jackson and didn't say anything, then quietly pulled General Vogtson aside and said in a low voice: "Those two old foxes don't know what the hell they will do, are the people you brought here absolutely reliable?" ”
General Voguson nodded, "Lord Duke, rest assured, the soldiers on the two escort warships are all carefully selected by me, they are absolutely loyal to Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke, and those sailors are also personally selected by me There will be no problem, so to speak, except for the eighty soldiers of the Royal Guard, who may be the Duke of Thomas, the rest are our people." ”
Duke Philip nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it's very good, I really didn't misunderstand you!" General Voguson, Her Majesty appreciates your military talent very much, and transferring you to the post of commander of the expeditionary force is only the first step, and all the troops under Her Majesty's command will be under your command in the future, and in addition, when you go back this time, you will not only be General Vogelson, but also Count Vogelson. ”
"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Duke, I am from the north of the empire, I was originally just an ordinary officer, and now I can become the commander of the British Empire Expeditionary Force, it is completely the appreciation of Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke, I will always remember this, I will always be loyal to Her Majesty, loyal to the Duke!"
Duke Philip was overjoyed by General Vogson's statement, and he patted General Vogelson on the shoulder and said, "Well, it's good that you can understand this, and besides, don't be so modest, although your promotion has the factor of Her Majesty's appreciation, but the General's own talent is also impressive." Now, you organize the army now, and we will try to get the worried citizens back to their homes before it gets dark. ”
In the mysterious canyon, Leonard still did not give up on asking me to take the initiative to hand over the Mayflower, I was too lazy to take him, just sent him to the entrance of the cave connecting the canyon, and then said to him: "I will tell you one last time, I can't return that ship, you go back and tell Lord Arthur, take the British Empire's high-ranking people before they know that Paradise Island is occupied and evacuate quickly, if you wait for the Imperial army to kill, you can't leave if you want to." In addition, I would like to remind you that the secrets hidden in this mysterious canyon are far beyond your imagination, and the few spotted tigers that attacked you are only the tip of the iceberg. ”
Leonard looked at me silently, and then went into the cave and left the canyon, and after Leonard left, Ding Ying and the others asked me, "Why did you let him go?" What if he did come in with the pirates? ”
I smiled and said, "With those spotted tigers, no matter how many pirates come, I always feel that those pirates may be in trouble." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, suddenly An An coughed a few times, and I hurried over to support her, "An An, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
An An shook his head and smiled reluctantly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my throat is a little uncomfortable." ”
Ding Ying looked at An An's appearance and sighed and said, "Alas, Doctor Zhou may have been affected by Du Leng Phi. ”
I frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" Didn't you tell me that Demerol only makes people feel weak and want to sleep? Are there any other side effects? ”
Ding Ying spread her hands helplessly and said, "I can't say this well, but I seem to have heard some rumors before." ”
Grandma's! I clenched my fists and scolded angrily, "I won't spare that bastard of Powers!" I'll go to him now! ”
"Mr. Han, don't be impulsive!" Bruni grabbed me and said, "Now that there are pirates everywhere outside, it's too dangerous for you to go out like this, and everyone is hiding in the depths of the island, where are you going to find those Protestants?" Otherwise, I'll go out and see what's going on. "21 Baidu: The latest chapter of "Island Tycoon's Lonely Era of Outstanding Literature" is free to read for the first time.
