Episode 27 Pirate Invasion
In the early morning of the second day, Lin Da remembered Shen Bing's proposal a few days ago and invited him to a local private school to learn about the local script and the culture and customs of Gui by the way. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Da felt that this was a good opportunity to continue to understand the Terran Continent, so he went out and strolled in the direction of the Shen family.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Shen family, Shen Bing waited at the door early. It turned out that the private school here was extremely strict, and all schoolchildren who came to enroll were required to arrive early, but of course Shen Bing was driven up by his grandfather early, just waiting for Lin Da to go together.
Seeing this, Lin Da hurriedly got up embarrassed, and the two exchanged a few words, and hurriedly walked towards the private school in the city.
In the early morning, the sun has not yet peeked out of the thin clouds, and the sky is still with a faint night, and the county has just woken up, and the people engaged in various jobs in the city have begun to get up and gradually begin to get busy.
No one found that at this time, about ten kilometers away from the sea off Xiaoyu County, a fleet of more than 20 sailboats, under the cover of a thin layer of mist, was speeding towards the beach of Xiaoyu County.
From a distance, this layer of water mist looks similar to ordinary sea fog, but it is by no means naturally formed, as if it is the effect of some kind of spell, which happens to cover the entire fleet, and if you don't get close, you can't see it at all.
Through the thin mist, looking inside, I saw more than 20 sailing ships were full of sails, and a huge black flag was raised on the top pole of each ship, and all kinds of blood-stained weapons on the hull of the ship were set off with the black flag of the sails, exuding a murderous aura!
On the gate of a city facing the sea in Xiaoyu County, a guard lay lazily on a chair, after a night of duty, he was very sleepy, and he couldn't wait to change the guard and rest.
The guard lazy himself and casually glanced at the sea in the distance, and suddenly noticed a thick fog in the distance, which looked extremely strange to see.
"What's that?" muttered the guard.
In the curious eyes of the guard, the dense fog quickly approached the beach in Xiaoyu County, and at this moment, a huge black giant ship suddenly rushed out of the dense fog, paddling through the shallow waters and white sand, and rushed onto the beach with a fierce murderous aura!
Soon, behind this ship, more than a dozen other huge ships of the same kind followed, and washed up on the beach one after another.
The guard was stunned when he saw this sudden incursion, and when he saw a huge black flag fluttering on the top pole of the huge ship, he suddenly screamed and jumped up from his chair weakly. His legs trembled, he pointed to the black flag tremblingly, and exclaimed tremblingly, "Black... Black Wind Flag... Pirates!"
Then, dragging his trembling legs, the guard rushed to an attic behind him, pulling with all his strength a rope that connected a giant bell at the top of the attic.
"Knock knock!" The rapid bell suddenly rang throughout Xiaoyu County!
Hearing this voice, the residents in the county town and those who got up were stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted in horror as if they had heard some terrible news.
"Sirens! Sirens are sounding!"
"Something big has happened!"
"Stupid! That's a pirate alert!"
"Pirate Alert?!Pirates are coming!Pirates are coming!"
......
The entire Xiaoyu County was like a pot of boiling water, and it suddenly boiled. On the originally noisy street, all the county residents who heard the alarm bell immediately abandoned everything in their hands without any disregard, grabbed the belongings around them and ran. The shops along the street didn't care about any business, and closed their doors as if they had seen a ghost, and hid in fear. All kinds of shouts and crashing sounds remembered each other, and the entire city and county were suddenly in chaos.
Shen Bing, who was rushing to the private school with Lin Da, also heard the alarm, her face immediately changed, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and she couldn't walk anymore. Seeing her like this, and seeing the panicked appearance of the people around her after hearing the bell, Linda hurriedly asked, "What happened? What is this bell?"
Shen Bing said with a panicked expression: "That... That's a pirate alert! It's a pirate! A pirate is coming!"
"Pirates?!" Linda was shocked.
"Yes, it's a pirate!Brother Lin, what should we do?!" Shen Bing exclaimed with a panicked expression, as soon as she remembered the terrifying rumors that her elders had talked about the pirate invasion in the past, her heart immediately became frightened, in the face of this sudden panic, she completely changed into the appearance of a little girl, and she had no claim at all.
"Then let's go back immediately, don't worry, your grandfather must be prepared!"
Although this sudden chaos caught people off guard, Lin Da immediately said calmly and comforted Shen Bing a little.
Shen Bing nodded, and followed Lin Da in the direction of the town yamen. Linda saw that there were panicked pedestrians all the way, everyone's faces showed solemnity and anxiety, and from time to time there were children's cries, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly intensified.
He knew very well that there had been many times in the history of the earth that rogue bandits had invaded cities on a large scale like this. Almost all city-states that have been plundered by pirates will be subjected to extremely terrible attacks, robbery, plunder, murder and kidnapping are trivial, and it is not surprising that they slaughter cities and kill people. This is true on Earth, and it will not be an exception here.
In the face of this kind of disaster, unless you can escape as soon as possible, or a strongman with superpowers, it is difficult to survive the chaos. As she walked, Linda touched the two things that were close to her body, and she felt a little more at ease. Although he was alone, he possessed a powerful magic weapon and an equally powerful pistol, which were very intimidating to the locals who were still using cold weapons. Of course, he will not easily display these weapons in front of people until the critical time.
"I didn't expect to encounter this kind of trouble!" Linda shook her head and muttered to herself, speeding up her pace and walking briskly in the direction of the mansion.
At the beach, before the huge ship that had first washed up on the beach had come to a stop, dozens of men wearing black turbans and holding various weapons grabbed the ropes along the edge of the boat, jumped down quickly, and gathered at the bow of the boat.
The first man with a scar on his face looked at the city wall of Xiaoyu County in the distance, grinned, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! I didn't expect the Fog Dafa laid by Immortal Master Li to be so effective, and he could approach here so smoothly." Brothers! Xiaoyu County is right in front of you! Did you hear the voices of those complaining girls calling spring?! Kill it! Kill it! Hahaha!"
When the other big men heard the shouts of the leader, they immediately howled excitedly, and they all grinded their fists and clapped their palms, with a cruel excitement on their faces.
"Hahaha! I haven't killed anyone in a long time!
"Woman! Haha! I haven't touched it in a long time! I'm going to kill those women!"
"Okay, good!
......
Seeing the crazy appearance of this group of bloodthirsty men, the leading man turned into a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, and then waved his big hand, and rushed towards the city with a group of men.
Behind them, more than a dozen similar large ships rushed onto the beach, and from the ships rushed down one after another, the same pirates with a thick murderous aura. Soon thousands of pirates gathered on the beach, led by their respective leaders, with various weapons and utensils, such as hungry wolves, rushed towards Xiaoyu County!
In the yamen of Chengzhong County, Shen Wen, the county magistrate of Xiaoyu County and the head of the Shen family, was standing in the hall with a serious face, his face barely maintained a trace of calm, but his eyes fluttering from time to time could not hide the uneasiness in his heart.
"Yan Qing!Have the militia teams been assembled?!" he asked eagerly and loudly to a black-robed man outside the house who was giving orders.
This black-robed man was the captain of the militia in the county, and when he heard the county magistrate's call, he hurriedly turned around and responded: "There are about 200 or so people gathered here, and many people have already walked towards the city gate!
"Two hundred?!Enough!Leave some men in the city to gather all the men who can fight at the city gates!The others will come with me to the city gates at once!" the county magistrate was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ordered.
At his command, the more than 200 militiamen in the county yamen immediately turned around and hurried towards the city gate, and it could be seen from the messy footsteps of the people here that these militiamen did not seem to have received much training.
The county magistrate walked quickly towards the city gate with a gloomy face, and when he just walked outside the gate, he happened to meet Lin Da who rushed back with Shen Bing, and saw that his granddaughter was not lost in the chaotic crowd, the old man was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Bing'er?!" What are you still doing here? Immediately answer the Shen family's backyard and hide!"
When Shen Bing heard his grandfather's order, his head immediately lit up like a chicken pecking rice, and when he just wanted to pull Lin Da away, the old man didn't know what sounded, and suddenly shouted: "Brother Lin! Now that Xiaoyu County is encountering a foreign invasion, everyone in the county has the obligation to resist, I wonder if you can come with us?" After speaking, he stared at Lin Da's eyes, and he never had the slightest affection because Lin Da had saved his granddaughter.
When Lin Da heard the old man make such a strange request, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded, and said with a slight smile: "Of course! In this case, of course, I have to do my part to resist the foreign enemy." The county magistrate just tells you!"
The old man nodded, the expression on his face softened slightly. The reason why he suddenly wanted to bring Linda was because he suddenly remembered the words of Yan Qing and others a few days ago.
As soon as Linda came on the front foot, there were pirates coming for a while, although it was impossible to say that there was any relationship between the two, but it also made the old man a little suspicious. So when he saw Linda, he immediately asked Linda to follow him, so that he could monitor him at any time.
Of course, Lynda didn't guess the old man's thoughts, he had his own plans. He felt that in this case, as an outsider, he should also contribute to the small county, not to mention that if he could help the county to avoid this catastrophe, he had other things to ask the old man for, so he didn't think too much, and immediately nodded and agreed.
So the old man ordered someone to escort Shen Bing back, and then with a wave of his hand, he hurried towards the city gate with a group of people. The group soon walked to the city gate, and when they saw the closed gate and the hundreds of militia militia on guard, the old man's heart was slightly relaxed.
"I've seen the county magistrate!" a militia leader who was commanding here immediately stepped forward excitedly when he saw the old man arriving with a large team.
"Well, what's going on?" asked the old man impatiently.
"As soon as we heard the alarm, we closed the city gates, and several other city gates were also closed, and the pirates have not attacked yet, but they seem to be concentrated outside this gate!" the militia leader hurriedly reported.
"All outside the gate?" the old man wondered, and he immediately asked Yan Qing to lead a large team to set up defenses, while he led another team of men and horses to the city tower. Through the battlements of the city wall, the old man saw the pirates gathering not far from the city, and immediately gasped.
