Chapter 25 Descending from the Sky
The front of Dam City is close to the sea, and the back is close to the mountain cliffs, and the terrain is low in the front and high in the back, which is extremely unique.
The cliff located in the north of Dam City, about 80 meters high, rugged and steep, the waves at the foot of the mountain beat all the year round, washing the bluestone into a smooth and incomparably smooth, it is impossible for anyone to climb up from there, and it is completely impossible to attack Dam City from the back.
Moreover, in the sea area at the foot of the mountain, there are many whirlpools like cow hair, and there are many reefs like stars, so big ships can't get closer, and small boats can't drive in, let alone climb the cliffs, and choose this place as the route of attack.
It is precisely because of this, although the geographical location of the back cliff of Dam City is dangerous, but there is no guard, only when Dam City was just built, His Majesty the Emperor has stationed a hundred troops here, but over time, these guards have all been removed, only some aristocratic girls who are bored and like to play on weekdays occasionally come here, overlooking the sea, vassal elegance, attracting bees and butterflies.
Therefore, when Tang Jie and the others came here at night, the surroundings were empty and silent, and there was no one to see.
When Tang Jie stepped on the top of this cliff for the last time, it was already the last dark time before dawn.
As far as the eye can see, the starlight in the sky above the sky shimmers, like an extremely spacious black curtain, and in the distance, the Jalaren prison hides its burly body in the black curtain, and some angular outlines can be faintly seen.
The vast sea sleeps in this boundless black curtain, like a stage shrouded in black curtains, and the distant starlight is like a little soft top light of the theater, rendering this silent stage as if it is about to rain, and below the stage, the sound of waves lapping on the rock wall is coming, which renders the tranquility before the flash flood to come out.
Tang Jie didn't know that what was about to happen tonight would be the first battle of fame in the true meaning of his brilliant life.
In this quiet night before dawn, all the favorable factors were on Tang Jie's side, and on this night, he was the darling of the sea god Tira.
Tang Jie looked at the dark front, put the index finger of his right hand on his tongue and licked it, feeling the wind and direction of the sea breeze on the cliff, only after a while, his face showed a look of satisfaction and joy.
It was the art of anemometry he had learned from Horn, and it was the first seafaring technique he had learned in this otherworld.
This technique can only be mastered by experienced sailors, especially on the ship, when the ship itself sails downwind or against the wind, the speed of the hull itself will make the sailor test the wind force differently, but an old sailor like Old Barr, no matter what the speed of the ship is, what the direction is, what the sea breeze is, he only needs to stretch out his fingers to try, and he can immediately accurately test the wind direction and wind force.
Tang Jie couldn't test the wind as accurately and quickly as they did, but he still had no problem roughly testing the wind force and direction while he was stationary.
Especially tonight, the south wind blew all night in Dam City, and the wind strength was about five to six degrees, which is usually only a moderate wind, and for the seaside city, this kind of wind is commonplace.
But when he arrived at this high mountain cliff, the wind increased significantly, and the hunting sea breeze blew on Tang Jie's body, making his clothes dignified, and his hair flying in the wind, which increased his confidence a little.
If there is no wind tonight, or if it is not a south wind, then Tang Jie will not dare to make such a life-and-death bet with Wells, let alone joke with his life.
Tang Jie turned around and beckoned to William and Bill behind him.
William and Bill, who were climbing, were carrying three huge kites.
This kite is a simple diamond-shaped, wide on both sides and narrow at the ends, supported by a cross of tough beech wood in the middle, and covered with a sturdy canvas.
The beech wood, which is used as a kite skeleton, is the wood that almost every ship has a stockpile, and it is often cut into rectangles and placed in the storage compartment of the ship, in case the ship leaks in the event of a naval battle or a rocking, and sailors use it to close the gap.
This beech wood material is hard, straight, fine-structured, wear-resistant and not easy to deform, although it is not suitable for shipbuilding in terms of hardness, but it is more than enough to plug the gap in the cabin or build a giant kite.
As for the canvas of the kite, it is even tougher, and ordinary swords can only break a small hole with a strong slash, which shows its strength.
Judging from the area and texture of this kite, it is not a problem to carry a weight of more than 100 catties and fly dozens of meters away from a high position.
William and Bill carried these three kites on their backs, and they had been whispering and discussing all the way, what did Tang Jie want these three strange guys to do?
The discussion went back and forth, but they were still incomprehensible, and the two of them gave up.
Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, William took a breath and said to Bill, "I said Bill, how did you find out about Captain Barr's whereabouts?
Bill gave him a blank look, "Do you think I'm you?"
William smiled and said, "Bill, for the sake of the sea god Tira, tell me!"
Bill glanced at William triumphantly, shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, for your sake, I'll tell you!"
"When Don Jie asked me to inquire about Captain Barr's whereabouts, I was thinking. I'm a pirate, where can I go to inquire about the captain's whereabouts?
"yes, I'm thinking about that too, where did you come from?"
"Hehe, you're not me, so you can't figure it out, how did I ask!" Bill sold enough, and when he saw William blowing his beard and glaring at him, he said, "Think about it, what place is the place where all the news in this city is most concentrated and circulates the fastest?"
William tilted his head and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't remember!"
Bill kicked him, "You stupid pig, you don't know this, we went there together half a year ago!"
William suddenly said: "Ah, the blue sea and blue sky!"
Bill said proudly: "You finally understand! Do you think, in that place with blue sea and blue sky, up to the nobles and lords of Dam City, down to the poor wharf on the harbor, who doesn't have it? What news do you want? As long as you have money in your pocket, there is no news that you can't ask!"
"There's money in your pocket...... William reacted, glared at Bill and said, "You guy, you're usually so stingy that you even pick a copper plate, why are you suddenly generous today?
Bill had a painful look on his face: "It didn't cost much, it's only five hundred gold coins......"
William was shocked, five hundred gold coins could almost buy a dhow, which was all Bill's life savings!
"You've spent all your savings?" said William.
Bill smiled wryly: "Yes, I have become a poor bastard all of a sudden, otherwise, you will support me a little and let me have a little pension money?"
William kicked over: "Get out, how can I have any money for you?"
Bill smiled and dodged: "Also, every time you prostitute a woman, you spend the money cleanly, where can you save the money?"
William was silent for a moment and said softly, "Bill, I still have some money, or I'll give it to you first?"
"Are you really rich? I underestimate you, William!" Bill was surprised, then shook his head, he glanced at Tang Jie not far ahead, "Do you think I'm going to let my money go for nothing?"
"Brother, look at him, he is much younger than Captain Barr, and much more powerful than us! Will you be afraid of starvation if you follow him in the future? Joke, I've been sailing for more than ten years, and I don't have the strength to see a person?" Bill looked proud, as if he had invested in a good deal that would make a profit or lose money.
As Barr said, every pirate is a born gambler, and they have gambler-like blood in their veins.
Sometimes they don't bet because they don't come across a game worth betting, and when they do, they give everything they can to bet on everything they can, either losing to the point of losing their lives or winning a lot of money.
On the Inferno, Barr was undoubtedly the best gambler, he bet on Tang Jie almost from the beginning, and after Tang Jie experienced his first battle, Barr placed all his bets on him.
Bill and William followed, except that Bill was under all his property savings, while William was under his life.
William also looked at Tang Jie's figure not far away, and sighed slightly, he unconsciously remembered the tragic naval battle that night, Tang Jie's tower-like figure appeared in front of his eyes like a projection.
"Bill, how do you think he understands these things?" asked William, curiously.
"What do you mean?" said Bill, tilting his head.
"These offensive tactics, and unbelievable methods of invading?" William pointed to the giant kite behind him.
Bill shook his head: "I don't know, why does he know so many things, maybe you should ask him yourself." ”
William looked at Tang Jie and shrugged his shoulders: "Forget it, this guy's eyes are as sharp as a knife now, and I have hairs on my back just by looking at him!" ”
The two of them got closer and closer, but Tang Jie vaguely heard these words clearly.
Tang Jie smiled in his heart, thinking: If you have played the Allied Death Squad, you will also ......
Although he thought like this in his heart, Tang Jie knew very well that all this was not a game, and it was impossible to read the file and start over, whether his plan could succeed or not, Tang Jie was also up and down in his heart.
This kind of bold thing, if it was normal, it would be to kill him, and he would not dare to do it. But he knew very well in his heart that he had no way back, and even if he left Barr, Wells would become his hindrance. If he compromises to save his life and leave Nia and leave this ship, then the rest of his life will be marked with shame, and no matter how much he scrubs it in the future, he will not be able to erase it.
Escaping from the battle is definitely not Tang Jie's character, facing difficulties is the true character of a man!
Tang Jie stood on the edge of the cliff, feeling the sea breeze of hunting, he took a deep breath, and said to William and Bill: "I'll go down first in a while, you can see my demonstration, imitate my way of flying past." Remember, keep your hands open and hold on to the shelves on both sides of the kite, and don't be afraid!
William and Bill glanced at each other, and they only felt that Tang Jie in front of them looked like an old and spicy assassin, and this kind of scene seemed to be commonplace.
Bill cautiously probed, "Tang Jie, you seem to have done this kind of thing many times?"
Tang Jie was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Don't remind me, I finally forgot this! This is my first time!"
"Ah?!" William and Bill were dumbfounded, they walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the surface of the black hole, as if there was an invisible monster waiting for them below, as soon as they fell, they would be devoured mercilessly!
William and Bill were so dizzy that they almost sat on the ground.
These two long-standing and battle-hardened pirates couldn't help but retreat in their hearts, and their legs and stomachs trembled like dysentery.
"You're the first time, then, aren't you afraid?" Bill felt like a yellow lotus chewing on the inside of his mouth, why was I so stupid to take this risk with him?
In the sailor's room, he looked confident, and thought he was good at this, who would have thought that it would be the first time like us!
If you knew he had never done any of these things, he wouldn't have followed me if he had killed him!!
Tang Jie guessed what they were thinking, he himself was very nervous, but he couldn't show it at all, he was different from William and Bill, William and Bill had a way back, but Tang Jie didn't.
He has been pushed into a desperate situation, and when a person is in a desperate situation, he can often do something unbelievable and incredible!
"Afraid?" Tang Jie patted the shoulders of the two people and smiled, "I'm afraid I won't be able to solve the problem! If you're afraid, you can go back now, I won't blame you!"
The corners of William's and Bill's eyes twitched at the same time, and the corners of their mouths were pulled up like marionettes, which was regarded as squeezing out a smile, but this smile was more ugly than crying!
"I, we, no, no, no, not afraid ......"
Tang Jie smiled, he looked at them deeply: "If you want to go back, then go back, but since you are here, then don't think about the consequences, follow me!"
After speaking, Tang Jie took a few steps back, he took a deep breath, this breath was deeper than any of his previous breaths, it was full, his chest swelled high, as if he wanted to accommodate this sea, as if he wanted to embrace this sky!
Then, he exhaled this breath heavily, and stomped heavily on the ground, one step, and another step!
He clutched a wide kite tightly with both hands, facing the stars in the sky and the bright moon in the sky, and kicked his feet violently on the edge of the dangerous and deep cliff!
The fierce sea breeze is whistling in your ears!
A pair of wings grew out of the ribs, and Tang Jie's figure seemed to have turned into an eagle with wings spread in an instant in the eyes of William and Bill!
Off!
Soar!
