Chapter 53: There is treasure on Crescent Island

The team was training their muskets intensively, while Donner led the people all over the island to search for broken fishing nets, rotten linen bark, and so on.

Recently, the island's animal skin paper has been depleted so fast that even if it is used repeatedly, it is not enough for daily use, and the children have been using the sand table to write in class, and Donner feels that it is time to make paper.

And since he came to the other world, he has always used wooden sticks and thatch to wipe his buttocks, and his butt has been devastated, and Donner has a dull pain every time he sits down, so it will be urgent to protect Chrysanthemum.

Donner had the stonemasons build several large pools, and the first process of artificial soil papermaking is to foam the material to remove soluble impurities from raw materials such as broken fishing nets, laying the foundation for making good pulp.

Soaking usually takes about a week, and after telling someone to throw the bark of the broken fishing net into it, he is ready to go to the kiln.

At this time, Mike suddenly found Donner: "Commander, a ship is coming in our direction." ”

"Is Theodore back?" asked Donner.

Mike looked solemn: "It's not Theodore's ship, it's probably a pirate, sailing from the direction of the sea ship, not wanting to land at the pier, but wanting to go ashore from the back of the island." ”

Well?

"Let's go!" Donner hurriedly followed Mike in the direction of the beach.

By this time Jasmine and Hans had waited again, and when Donner came, they pointed in the direction of the ship and said, "Captain, you see, it's the ship." ”

Downer looked around, and a three-masted ship broke through the waves and was heading towards it, about four or five kilometers away from Crescent Island.

Seeing this, Donner said decisively: "Immediately gather a row or two rows of people, hide in the woods, and listen to my orders." ”

The sea ship is still a little far away, I don't know if it's a merchant ship or a pirate, if it's a merchant ship that doesn't intend to break in, you can do business with them, if it's a pirate of unknown origin, then you have to be careful.

At this moment, a flag with a blood shark pattern on the ship was waving in the wind, and a pirate with a fierce face was standing in the helm, and he asked one of the pirates beside him, "Is there really a treasure on that island?"

This is the third time I have asked the pirate next to him, this pirate was rescued by him at sea, and when he saw him, he had already gnawed only half of his brother's body, and the pirate leader appreciated this ruthlessness, so he let him go to sea.

But for now, the pirate leader still doesn't believe that there is any treasure in such a barren island, but he can't stop the greed in his heart.

So he quietly took dozens of his subordinates to hide from the entire pirate group, including his eldest brother, and went to sea alone, just to swallow the treasure alone.

"Yes, Deputy Head of Regiment. The pirate bent over in a humble gesture, and he raised his head with a cruel look, "This island is occupied by the Sea Wolf Pirates, who make a treasure called porcelain, and they make a deal with a nobleman who was once kidnapped by him, and sell it for tens of thousands of silver coins. ”

"Really, tens of thousands of silver coins were sold?" the pirate leader was very excited, tens of thousands of silver coins, he had never seen so many silver coins before.

If you can rob this island and get treasures and silver coins, you can buy as many weapons as you can and how many subordinates you can gather!

"Yes, I would never dare to deceive the deputy head of the regiment. The pirate said respectfully, "I used to be from this island, but because of a woman, they drove me out, and one of the deputy commanders even sent people to hunt me down, but fortunately, Lady Luck favored me and let me meet you, the deputy commander." ”

The pirate leader nodded, believing him. The pirate had told him that if he hadn't been for himself, he would have died on that reef a long time ago.

Half an hour later, the ship stopped a kilometer away from Crescent Island, and one of the pirates tested the depth of the sea with a long pole, and then reported to the pirate leader: "Boss, the ship can't go forward, or it will run aground." ”

It's very close to the shore, it's a shoal, and the big ships can't continue to sail forward. The pirate leader nodded and said, "Put down the boat and get ready to land on the island." ”

There were two small boats on each side of the ship, which were usually used to escape in an emergency, and the pirates lowered the wooden boat and climbed down the rope ladder to get into the boat.

There were more than seventy people on the ship, and forty people were crammed into four small boats, and the pirates rowed their oars towards Crescent Island.

Donner and the others lay down in the grass and low trees on the beach side, watching the ship lower the boat, and the pirates on the boat were all armed with weapons, and it seemed that they were not good.

Donner said in a deep voice: "Listen to my orders, after these pirates get close to the beach, the four teams and five teams will be allowed to shoot, and the people in a row will not move first, and only after a round of guns will come on the field, be careful not to kill them all, and leave a few live questions to ask." ”

Everyone nodded, and the four small boats over there had stopped at the beach, and after laying down the pirates, they were ready to return to meet the remaining pirates on board.

The pirates who landed on the beach cautiously looked around, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, they relaxed and joked with interest: "This broken island, the defense is so poor, no one is watching, so we landed on the island so casually." ”

"Be careful!" was reminded.

The pirate nodded, and walked towards the island with the group with his scimitar.

"Five hundred steps. ”

"Two hundred steps. ”

"A hundred steps. ”

"Eighty paces!" Donner thought to himself, and when the group of pirates approached the grass, he immediately ordered, "Shoot." ”

The men of the fourth and fifth teams had already loaded their ammunition, and when they heard the order, they immediately pulled the trigger on the target they were aiming at.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of fried beans sounded together, causing all the seabirds that inhabit the island to flutter their wings and fly high into the air.

And the pirates who were huddled together over there, the front row seemed to have encountered a wall, and more than a dozen people fell in an instant.

The blood holes and sudden loud noises that came out of the fallen companions made these people stunned, not understanding what was happening.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

"What's ringing?"

"Ahh ”

The pirates exclaimed!

"Kill!" Downer whispered, and the men of the fourth and fifth teams put down their arquebuses, picked up their scimitars, and rushed towards the pirates with the rest of the team that was ready.

The battle was one-sided, and the stunned pirates didn't react to the sudden change at all, hurriedly picked up the scimitar to resist, and were instantly cut to the ground by the members of Crescent Island.

The pirates who landed on the island began to disperse, but the two sides were already surrounded, and they could only flee for their lives in panic towards the sea.

In less than ten minutes, the battle was over, and only ten of the pirates who landed survived, and they were captured by Mike and others, and they knelt on the beach in rows.

Donner stepped forward and saw a familiar face and was surprised, "Is that you?"
