Chapter 34: Fear from the Undead
"Who are you?"
The soldiers were shocked, and they all raised their guns and aimed at the two of them.
I saw that the two of them, one tall and one short, looked not young, slightly slumped, lean, ragged, standard pirate dress, no flintlock pistol at his waist, but one of them carried a bloody sharp knife.
They did not panic in the face of the numerous guns, and one of them even laughed out loud: "Look, we have a group of thieves here. β
"It's nice to have someone to have some fun with us when we're so bored."
"And it's all navy, what a surprise."
"How? Kill them all? β
"No, wait here for the captain to come back, he must be very interested in these navies."
The discussion between the two of them angered the soldiers present, as in the Royal Navy, which pirate did not tremble in the face of them?
"Shut up! Lay down your weapons and get on the ground, or we'll shoot!" β
A soldier retorted.
"He told us to lay down our arms?"
"Oh, naΓ―ve navy, they probably don't know where they're coming from."
One of the pirates grinned and raised his knife and slowly walked towards the soldiers, "Welcome to Hell, guys. β
No soldier could tolerate this scene, not even waiting for Tom's order, they had already pulled the trigger in their hands.
With the sound of gunfire, the two pirates shook wildly, blood splattered, and fell directly to the ground.
"What a madman!" One soldier took a sip and put away his flintlock pistol: "This is the crew of the Black Pearl?" Don't they know fear? β
"Check them out and see if there's anything worth watching."
Several soldiers were about to approach when a voice was heard in the distance.
"Stand still, soldier."
The soldiers turned around and saw that Townsend had appeared in front of the stone box at some point, apparently not paying attention to this conflict, and only now did he speak: "I said, don't be blinded by treasure, especially when faced with something you don't know. β
He said slowly, "The thing in front of you is not something that can be killed by a gun. β
As he said this, the two "corpses" on the ground suddenly moved, and the soldiers suddenly retreated several steps in shock.
"Hah, the plan failed."
Hoarse voices came from the throats of the pirates who were dead and could no longer die, and they staggered to their feet and looked at Townsen: "I have no impression of you, Oriental. β
"To know that we are not dead, is this man the fish who escaped from us before?" The other pirate wondered.
"I don't remember any time when I slipped through the net." The pirate licked the tip of the knife: "It doesn't matter, since they are here, their only end is death." β
The conversation between the two men sent chills through the soldiers' hearts, and even the hands holding their guns began to tremble.
"It's... Why is this happening? β
"It's the devil! They are immortal devils! β
"God! We're finished! β
"The legend of the Black Pearl is true! No one can kill them! β
Even Tom, with a frightened expression on his face, looked at Townsend as if he were pleading.
"Calm down, soldiers." Tang Sen didn't seem flustered, he stroked the stone box lightly, and said, "The pirates in front of you really won't die, neither the guns in your hands nor the swords on your waists can rob their lives. β
"But not dying doesn't mean you can't be defeated, soldiers."
He raised his voice and said, "It's just two cursed ordinary people, their strength is not stronger than yours, their blades are not sharper than yours, and most importantly, there are only two of them. β
"Cut off their hands and feet, they won't have any room to fight back, cut off their heads, and they won't be able to do anything."
Having said that, the soldiers obviously still lacked courage, after all, in the face of unknown horrors, who would dare to step forward?
The two pirates smiled, they were used to this kind of scene, and any normal person would even give up resisting in fear when facing them, which was why they were confident that two people would be able to face so many heavily armed soldiers.
"Oh, Orientals." One of the pirates laughed, "You know a lot, but I'm afraid you've overlooked a little ...... Fear! β
"They're like shivering lambs, hahahaha!"
"Little lamb, what are you going to do with the gun in your hand?" The pirate approached unhurriedly with a knife, "Come, shoot, shoot me." β
He even pressed his chest against the muzzle of the gun, and his hideous face pressed against the soldier's face.
The soldier screamed, unleashed his flintlock pistol, and sat down on the ground, running backwards with his hands and feet.
The two pirates burst out laughing.
Townsend watched this scene coldly, to be honest, the courage of the English sailors was even weaker than he had imagined.
In the face of the Black Pearl, these barely human guys, they were afraid that they would flee in a hurry when facing the seafood on the flying Dutchman.
Fortunately, I never expected to rely on these people alone.
He slowly pushed open the stone box, revealing the gold Aztec coins inside.
These things are the key to facing the flying Dutchman.
"Fear?"
Tang Sen slowly took out an Aztec gold coin and said to the two pirates calmly: "Death is indeed worth fearing, but I am afraid that more people are more afraid of poverty than death. β
"And money always gives people courage."
He raised his voice and shouted, "Let's play a game, soldiers." β
"You can choose to do nothing and wait for death."
"Or you can summon up your courage and defeat these two bluffing pirates."
"There is no upper limit to the rewards this time."
Tang Sen pointed to the vast wealth around the cave: "You can choose at will here, as long as you can take as much wealth as you want, it belongs to the victor." β
"The first soldier to shoot will receive an additional five hundred pounds!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a thud when Warrant Officer Tom had drawn his sword and swooped down on the nearest pirate.
The pirate raised his knife to block Warrant Tom's attack and roared, "This is our wealth!" β
Taking advantage of the gap in the other party's speech, Tom instantly changed his move, one stepped back, the other left whip leg, and kicked the pirate out fiercely.
"Mr. Tang is right! They're just ordinary pirates! Nothing to be afraid of! β
With one blow, Tom suddenly shouted, "Put down your gun and draw your sword!" Cut off their hands and feet! β
Seeing this scene, the fear in the eyes of the soldiers was replaced by desire, and the sound of drawing swords sounded one after another.
The two pirates were startled, and they looked at each other, obviously knowing that with the other party without fear, it was impossible for the two of them to defeat so many naval soldiers.
They were not afraid of being defeated, and they could not die anyway, but when the captain returned, he found that his wealth had been swept away, and he was afraid that he would be tied to a cannon and sink to the bottom of the sea.
Thinking of this, they said in unison:
"Kill that Oriental first!"
