Chapter 143: Powder in a Barrel

readx;

Without saying a word, he directly approached the sailor's side with an arrow step, and hit the opponent's neck with a wave of his hand, the drunkenness and severe pain made the sailor instantly unconscious, and Fielder also used the same method to subdue the other two drunk sailors, only the sailor who was not drunk pulled out the short knife on his waist, wanting to resist the intruder.

Feder grabbed the other man's throat, and the pair of chain-covered gloves that had lost their enchantment magic were like pincers, so that the sailor who wanted to swing the knife to fight back had to let go of the hand holding the knife and keep trying to tear Field's arms open. Vittorio saw that Fidel didn't want to kill the other party, so he immediately picked up a thick rope on the ground, and under Fidel's control, sealed the sailor's mouth first, and then worked with Fide to tie up the writhing sailor and stuff it into a large box containing tools.

The young woman had taken off her coat, and her neck and collarbone were exposed in front of Feld and Vittorio, but she didn't seem surprised by their actions in the slightest, and couldn't help but chuckle under her breath.

"Commander, this woman is also very drunk, what are we going to do with her?"

When Fei De heard the young woman's words just now, he felt regret that the other party was a prodigal person, but he wanted to save her. But also, a woman who drinks alone at night and then seduces other guests is really not a very serious woman.

Just as Feder was still thinking about what to do, the woman suddenly put on her coat, "Are you here for me, or are you here for these idiots?"

Vittorio replied, "You hurry up and get out of this ship, we... We are the ones who see the unevenness of the road and draw the sword to help. ”

"Thank you so much, I was saved by two chicks, don't I need to give you anything in return?" she said as she walked over to Fidel's side and put a hand on the side of Fidd's cheek, but Fidel immediately dodged the touch. When Fei De subdued these sailors just now, he hadn't thought about what to do with this woman, who would have thought that the other party still had the heart to entangle himself in this place.

Fidel motioned to Vittorio with his eyes, asking the other party to find a way to get rid of the entangled woman, and Vittorio took out two gold coins from his money bag and threw them to the young woman, "Go buy wine and drink, in short, get out of here, don't pester us again." ”

"Ahh It's a gold coin.,This kind of thing is the most boring.,I'm not rare at all... You don't need to send me away with such a thing—" The young woman's eyes became more and more misty, but she ignored the two of them, and walked out of the cabin alone, listening to the footsteps as if walking in the direction of the deck of a cargo ship.

Fide and Vittorio looked at each other, and the two immediately began investigating the ship.

The ship's cabin was only two levels, and a few sailors slept on their floor, and most of the cargo was stacked on the lower level. Feder went back to the deck to reconnoitre, but found no one approaching the ship, except for a man humming and drinking at the bow, no other sailors appeared on board, and the young woman seemed to have departed and was nowhere to be found.

As Vittorio passed through one of the chambers, he found a sword with the Rebel mark hanging from a shelf, and he couldn't forget the hammer striking the crown, as did the meaning behind it. He immediately approached Fidel and told them that the ship was most likely the Rebels' ship.

"We seemed lucky to have found the boat we were looking for. Vittorio led Fidel to the lower cabin, where there was nothing special.

Fide and Vittorio began to investigate the lower cabin, where there was a large in-ship warehouse, and the barrels were neatly arranged in one of the warehouses.

"Sailors are not allowed to drink alcohol on board, and if it is cargo, it should be brought ashore as well, right—" Vittorio picked up a shovel in the corner and walked over to one of the barrels, but to his disappointment, the barrel contained nothing suspicious except wheat wine.

Feder walked over to the casks and found several of them overturned and poured on the floor, but the wine did not spill out. He straightened the barrel and shook it, not hearing the sound of the wine shaking. Fidel immediately asked Vittorio to come over and inspect the barrels. Sure enough, these barrels did not contain wine, but a sack.

"This is—" Vittorio pulled out some powder from one of the sacks, all fine black powder, mixed with some yellow powder, which smelled strange.

Feder picked it up a little, and he didn't sniff it, but just fiddled with the powder with his hand, which he had never seen before, and looked a little like the spice he had carried this afternoon.

Vittorio stared at the powder for a minute before he said with a look of surprise, "It's sulfur!"

"Brimstone?" Feder seemed to have heard Master Gimon mention of such a thing, but he couldn't remember what it was.

"The yellow ones are the brimstone, and I don't know what the black stuff is, but if the brimstone and the black powder are the secrets of the rebels, then—" Before Vittorio could finish his sentence, hurried footsteps could be heard from the upper deck of the cabin.

Vittorio immediately grabbed a handful of brimstone mixed with black powder and stuffed it into his purse, while Fidel drew his dagger from behind his waist and leaned against the wooden door.

"There are a lot of people, at least ten, and it should be that the rebels have discovered us. ”

"There are no exits here, there are only two exits in the entire cabin, front and rear, both in the upper cabin!"

"You follow me, we rush to the back exit, if we're lucky, maybe we can jump into the water and escape!" Feder pushed open the wooden door, and those hurried footsteps were approaching, "By the way, you can swim, right?"

Vittorio nodded, and he put the money bag in his arms and immediately ran to the back of the hatch aisle, while Fidel broke him off. By the time he stepped up the stairs to the top, those who had rushed down had already seen him, and the first to bear the brunt of it was none other than the rebels who had been carrying the ropes at the Reindeer Chamber of Commerce this morning.

"Run!"

Vittorio ran ahead, while Fidel was close behind. By the time the two reached the end of the upper hallway, the exit to the deck had been closed, and five swords-wielding rebels were on the other side of the cabin hallway, blocking the other exit.

"You're hiding behind me. After saying the next word, Fei De rushed at the five rebels, directly dodging the long sword in the hands of the first rebel, and the short sword that Fei De handed out stabbed the rebel standing behind this man.

Vittorio watched as Fed's battle led to a five-out, and he noticed that the blocked exit above his head had suddenly been opened, and two sailor-like men were standing on it with axes, apparently trying to surround them.

The two men with the axes didn't climb down, they just stared at the short boy, when Vittorio pulled out a bag from his arms and threw it directly in the faces of the two guys. A pungent and spicy smell rushed into their noses and mouths, and their eyes were irritated by the powder spilled from the bag. Vittorio climbed up with his eyes closed, and as if he hadn't smelled the scent at all, he tripped over the two choked sailors.

"Captain!"

Feld's side had already eliminated three enemies, and two of the rebels were shouting out to their companions as they retreated. When Fide found out that Vittorio had climbed onto the deck, he was about to rush to the exit at the front of the hallway. At that moment, Vittorio suddenly closed the exit, and the rebels who had been chasing from below had already reached this level, cutting off Fidel's way back.

Vittorio had no choice but to run to the stern of the ship alone, and he gambled that Fidel would be able to escape on his own, and Vittorio, who had not returned, jumped into the sea by the harbor and swam far away.

When Vittorio had swam a long distance, he surfaced and looked back at the ship, where shouts and fights were still heard, and the torches on board were flickering and flickering.

At the same time, Fidel had already rushed out of the cabin and stood on the deck. His thick cotton coat had already been cut by the sword, and his arms and legs were injured, but fortunately the clothes were thick enough, otherwise Field, who was accustomed to using "black flashes" to resist attacks, would have already lost the ability to hold a sword and run.

"Give up, Captain Fidel!" cried a man standing at the bow of the ship, "even if you could beat them all, you would be exhausted, and my men were guarding the shore, and you would not be able to escape." ”

By the light of the fire, Fei De saw the person shouting, wasn't the other party Levier, who had been followed by his three men this afternoon? He also felt that the ship was beginning to float, and the stern of the cargo ship was also stowed, and the cargo ship was sailing away from the shore!

There were rebels standing all over the deck of the ship, about twenty men, and a group of men with torches on the shore. If he had "Silence" and "Black Flash", these people might not be able to stop Field, but now that he only had a cuirass to protect his heart, it was almost impossible to knock down so many people and still retreat.

Vittorio swam slowly to another ship by the harbor, and he could see by the light of the fire that the cargo ship was slowly moving out of the shore. But when Vittorio tried to swim to the shore, a loud bang came from the cargo ship! A burst of fire and roar made Vittorio, who was hundreds of meters away, unable to close his eyes and hide in the water. Thick black smoke rose from the deck of the cargo ship, and there was a tremor, and all the ships on the shore were shaken a few times.

Vittorio looked at the burning cargo ship, and he clearly realized what the mixture of black powder and sulfur was - it was the "Cracking Powder", which Vittorio had been exposed to during his studies at the Peace Grave Military Academy, which could cause a violent explosion after igniting it, and the power of an instant was comparable to an earthquake landslide, so Vittorio privately gave this mixed powder this name.

"Captain Fed—" Vittorio, drenched from his body, sat on a stone staircase ashore, and whispered Field's name as he looked at the freighter that had almost turned into a paper ship in the distance.
