Chapter 109: Invasion (Part II)
Looking at the simple raft and the several white-robed people on the raft who were extremely panicked and looked around from time to time, Huya always frowned and said nothing, while I was full of doubts.
From such a distance of several nautical miles, I could only vaguely see the white-robed men, yes, too far away, but from the actions of those people and the persecution of them by the demonstral people, it seemed that they were more like a group of slaves or prisoners of war.
It can be inferred from this that the Evil Spirits on the ship must have been aware of the possible danger in the sea ahead, so they forced the white-robed slaves to board the improvised raft to explore their way, which shows that these Evil Spirits are really not good people.
In fact, I know very well that not far ahead of them is the "headland" with very fierce undercurrents, which is what I often refer to as the "dead sea", where there are many reefs, and if the boat cannot enter them, it is completely impossible to detect their existence, but if they are really in that kind of danger, how can they get out? I could only be swept into the deep sea by the tide and the ebbing waves, and then I was stoned to death at the confluence of the two rapids of the east and west a few nautical miles away. If it hadn't been for the divine wind that blew my canoe out of the course, I would have been buried in the belly of a fish, and there would not be a single bone left.
I'm still alive, breathing air and staring at another group of people who are on their way to death.
"Go, Huya, light a bonfire and smoke the wolf to draw their attention," I said to Huya.
Actually, I didn't do this entirely to rescue the white-robed slaves who had been pushed into the sea, of course, there may be a little bit of this, but the most important thing for me was that I didn't want the ships of the Spirits to have a chance to pass through the headland, but I wanted them to return to the western channel and land from the place I had originally designed, because from there to the gentle slope I had to step through all the ambushes, which was why I let the tiger girl light the fire and set it into smoke.
Tiger looked at me suspiciously, as if she didn't quite understand my thoughts, and of course, if she had known that there wasn't even a trap to the east of where we were, and that the Spirit-Man was traveling, I believe she would have lit a campfire and released smoke.
"Do it, quick, we don't have a trap in the east", I stared at the raft that the white-robed slaves were riding and said to Huya, before the words fell, I saw that the raft suddenly turned in a circle in the sea, and then accompanied by a burst of white waves, the whole raft was torn into several sections by the undercurrent and reef on the bottom of the sea, and several white-robed people on the raft never saw them show their heads in the sea again.
The pungent smell of gray smoke came from behind me, and the smoke instantly covered the entire mountaintop.
Another trumpet sounded from the direction of the big ship, long and short, slow and weak, and I saw that the sails of their head were suddenly moved by the crowd, and the bow of the ship was slowly pointing straight at us, and at the same time, the rumbling war drums were sounded again, and the muffled trumpets came and went, and became more and more rapid, until at last the trumpets were completely united.
From the bottom of my heart, this is the situation I would like to see the most in this crisis, at least we have won back some of the initiative, no matter what kind of battle, whoever has the initiative will pay the least price.
On the way back to the gentle slope from the top of the mountain, I told Huya countless times about my tactics, although I had argued with her many times before, and frankly, I didn't know the bottom of my heart, but there was no tension on Huya's face, she used her fingers to dip some spit to measure the direction of the wind, and sometimes looked around for a while, her expression was completely as if she was ready to carry a bow and arrow to fight a group of rabbits.
When she reached the meadbetween near the gentle slope, which was the only way to enter the gentle slope from the foot of the mountain, she suddenly stopped and said to me in a straight voice, "Shanna, wherever the spirits go, the purpose is to conquer and slave, and there is no other possibility."
I understand what Hu Ya is trying to say, she is reminding me not to be merciful and illusionical to the Evil Spirits, this battle is only you and me, because she knows that I will never hand over anyone to be the slaves of the Evil Spirits.
Once again, I explained each other's responsibilities to everyone, in fact, this kind of explanation has been practiced countless times in the previous month and a half, if I really say "worried", maybe I will only worry about Dandan's execution ability, he is responsible for firing the crossbow arrows in the tree wall on the right, in order to have an attack echelon, he fires in the order after Huya, so that I am responsible for the loading of the left crossbow arrows to leave plenty of time.
He patted Dandan's shoulder lightly, and looked at the pair of frightened eyes and told Dandan:
"Dandan, you know that I will never let any of you become slaves, become animals that they drive, I know that you are very afraid, very worried, afraid that this group of barbarians will kill you, but I must make you understand that this war between us and the Demons is here, and we will win, and twenty years from now, if your grandchildren sit in your arms and ask you what you have done in this battle, will you tell her how heroic you are to kill the enemy, or will you tell her that you shoveled in a corner? Believe me, believe in the wood god, the wood god will take all the courage of the evil spirit man at the right time, at that time, I will take all of you to capture your own slaves, I promise, the slaves you capture will be yours for life! “。
After speaking, I patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and howled at the sea with all my strength, until the air in my lungs was exhausted, and Dandan's eyes were red at this time standing beside me, holding his wooden spear and bow and arrow in his hand, and when I just turned around and was about to return to the top of the mountain with Huya to prepare for battle, there was a sudden roar of Dandan, which was more deafening and powerful than me.
"What did you say to him?" When Hu Ya approached the top of the mountain, she asked me curiously, in fact, I didn't take her to use a hemp rope to hang back to the top of the mountain instantly, after all, the hemp rope takes more than ten minutes to arrange again, which is not conducive to my maneuver tactics.
"Me? I just told him that if he won, he would have countless female slaves of the Spirits," I said casually.
"By the way, if you win, what do you want?" , I felt that there was something wrong with the answer just now, and then asked Huya.
"I want them dead, everyone", Huya muttered without saying a word.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of a few whizzing sounds in the air in the distance, which I had heard countless times during the troops' exercises, and it was the sound of artillery shells cutting through the air.
I subconsciously pounced on the tiger, and before I had time to think about how this group of tall savages could have cannons? I only heard several muffled bangs at the top of the mountain, and when I looked up, I saw three wooden poles more than one meter long and as thick as an arm inserted at the top of the mountain, one of which happened to smash on the bonfire, raising a fierce smoke.
Hurriedly pulled the tiger girl and ran up to the top of the hill to look at the sea, their big ship was only two nautical miles from the beach, I could even clearly see that the bow of each big ship was equipped with a huge primitive crossbow, they must have made a crossbow string from the tendons of some kind of animal, otherwise they would not have shot such a thick crossbow arrow to us, so powerful, but one thing can be confirmed, the strong crossbow they shot directly shattered all my illusions about "negotiation" and "mutual humility", the tiger girl is right, in the eyes of this group of barbarians, Only conquest.
While he was thinking about it, he saw a large number of manned rafts and small sampans falling on the big boat, there were more than 20 of them, and the tall and large spirits stood in the middle of the sampans, directing many white-robed people to row to the beach with wooden pulp.
The Spiritmen have finally attacked.
