Chapter XXVIII
It rained overnight and was accompanied by gusts of wind. The wind blew harder and harder, and in the second half of the night, Lynn could hear the whimper of the hurricane blowing outside in her bedroom.
In the morning, the storm blew for about three hours before it began to subside, and after a short time the wind calmed down, but the rain did not stop until noon.
Lynn sent a group of men to the stranded ship to investigate the situation.
The feedback was all the same.
The three ships were lifeless, and there was no movement at all.
He was certain that the blue-eyed monsters couldn't swim, and they couldn't leave the stranded ship unless the ghouls had wings.
After lunch, Lynn decided to gather the army and take people to see it herself.
Mrs. Fitlin also intends to help, she sends her twelve personal guards, and gives Pepper Vayne to Lynn.
She said, "Wayne's swordsmanship is good, and she will protect you as well as she protects me." ”
Lynn was skeptical, believing that he had been upgraded to a Tier 2 soldier with more of a cavalry regiment.
Moreover, he was well prepared, with a Valyrian blade tied around his waist, and the armor of his father, whom he had not yet met, the only knight's armor made of steel in the fishing village of Harbor.
Despite the elaborate design of the armor and the silk cotton padded in the boots and belt, it was not particularly comfortable to wear.
However, he did not refuse the Countess's kindness either.
Wayne followed behind, looking at Lynn's body that was one size bigger, obviously not a custom knight's armor, a little awkward.
At least not on par with the imposing knights.
"Let's go. ”
Lynn led a team of 100 people out of the city gate, he didn't care too much about the appearance, as long as the armor had a defensive effect.
Not long after walking north along the coastline, three tall Iron Islands twin-sail keelboats were in close combat, and the shallow water separated the embarkation points, and they had to wade to get close to the bottom of the boats.
Lynn didn't want to soak in the freezing waters again.
What's more, he couldn't swim even when he was wearing armor.
By this time, the sea had calmed down.
When the tide recedes, several corpses from yesterday's battles are left on the sandy beaches of the coastline, and the wreckage of some large ships is also swept up to the seashore.
The neighborhood was in shambles.
Lynn was well prepared and had a few prepared dinghys rowed over.
The first soldiers to board the ship, took out the prepared torches, and as soon as they got on board, they lit the torches, just in case.
Their task was to clean the deck of the first ship.
Only by making sure that it is safe above, the follow-up troops will follow aboard.
It wasn't long before a shout came from the iron-clad ship.
Lynn was about to get into the dinghy, but Wayne next to him grabbed his shoulder.
"Are you sure you're going to go in person? ”
Lynn waved her hand, "The Countess has asked you to protect me, not to make suggestions. As he spoke, he didn't care about the indignant look on the little pepper girl's face, and strode into the dinghy.
What are you kidding, your main line system task is likely to be here, if you don't do the main quest, there will be no new quest later, you can't wait a few years later, the army of strange ghosts on the Great Wall of Desperation is assembled, and you will face the 100,000 ghoul army by yourself, try your luck.
Wayne was so angry that she could only stomp her heels helplessly.
In addition to the captain and co-captain, a brig schooner requires at least 20 sailors to maneuver, among which the sails are retracted, the sails are lifted, and the anchor is lifted and the anchor is lifted.
However, under normal circumstances, long-distance merchant ships will be equipped with an additional armed escort of twenty or thirty men to prevent the infestation of a large number of pirates at sea.
For a big lord like the Iron Islands, in order to ensure the safety of large cargoes, there are more crew members on one ship, and it is not uncommon for a hundred people to be crammed into one ship.
Boarding the ship along the rope ladder, Lynn made his way to the deck.
It was empty, except for a few ballistas that had been ravaged by the storm, and there was not a single figure rolling around the deck.
The Riders searched all around the first deck to make sure there was no sign of the Blue-Eyed Monster.
Everyone unanimously looked at the hatch leading to the second basement floor.
The hatch is open and leads down by a small inclined ladder.
It was dark below, and it was difficult to see clearly.
Rodat stepped forward and said, "My lord, will you send someone down to take a look?"
Lynn nodded, "Well, send a team of 5 people down to investigate the situation, let them all light torches, find ghouls, it's best to lure them up, the space below is limited, it's not easy to use." ”
Rodat was ordered to say yes, and according to Lynn's request, he sent five cavalry infantry.
Watching his people go down, Lynn tightened the handle of the Valyrian short knife at his waist, waved his hand and ordered, "Don't go around the hatch and retreat some distance." ”
The female swordsman Wayne looked at the weapon in Lynn's hand, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in surprise, "Valyrian steel, is this a Valyrian weapon?
Lynn shrugged and said, "Ancestral." ”
Wayne stared at Lynn in surprise, her face froze, and her eyebrows jumped slightly.
"Only the big families in Westeros can inherit the weapons forged by the Valyrians, could it be that your ancestors are also from which big family?"
Lynn's ancestor is Yan Huang, so he is naturally a big family, but he can't talk to Xiao Pepper in detail.
The two of them talked.
At this time, there was a burst of fighting and shouting from the hatch, and everyone's expressions tightened.
A moment later, the black shadow of the hatch flashed, and two soldiers of the Cavalry Regiment burst out, with a look of apprehension on their faces.
One of them said, "There are twenty or thirty blue-eyed monsters gathered below, hiding under the cabin, no matter how lured they are, they don't seem to have any intention of catching up." ”
Lynn frowned, "What about the other three people who went down?"
Just below the hatch, they stood guard on the stairs, using torches to push a few blue-eyed men who wanted to approach, and asked if they wanted to kill them. ”
Lynn thought for a moment and asked, "Do you see the looks of those blue-eyed people, do they have a highly corrupt appearance?" ”
"It's too dark inside, I can't see the situation clearly, and the few people I met before are all the same as normal people, except for a pair of blue eyes, but their expressions are gloomy. "But there is one thing that is very strange. ”
Rodat scolded beside him, "Say it quickly, don't talk about it." ”
"Well, my lord, there's a lot of blood down there, but there's not a single body in sight. ”
Lynn's brows furrowed even tighter, there was only one possibility that there were no corpses, and that was that all the corpses were resurrected.
Lynn didn't know what the range of the ability of the alien to resurrect the corpse and transform the ghoul was, and if the range was limited, then the alien was probably under the ship.
Finally, Lynn gives the order.
"Everyone is ready to fight, light all the torches, the crossbowmen take out the rockets, the blunt weapon can also kill and injure the ghouls as long as the destructive power is enough, and after going down, sweep all the bilges of the ship, if you see a highly corrupted ghoul, it is likely to be a strange ghost, when the time comes.
Let it go and let me come!"
