XLVII. Wind's Breath Canyon
Storm's Breath Canyon, many years ago, was once a bustling mining town, used to collect psionic crystals called Stormpolyth, which were used as materials for warlocks, or processed into room temperature control facilities in rich man's houses with other accessories.
Hence the name of the canyon.
As the mineral source was depleted and exhausted, this poor mountain and bad water were naturally abandoned.
But there are still many remnants of ancient towns, rusty mined iron piles, broken walls and ruins that look incomparably desolate in the ancient bleakness of the Ultramarine Mountains, and the swift winds in the canyon terrain are quite blowing.
"Are you sure this is it?"
Li Si and his party tied their horses to the trees next to the gallop road, and the time was already in the afternoon, and they didn't know if it was too late, and whether the two people were still alive.
If you want to deal with the pursuers, you must leave the galloping stone road and enter the deep mountains and dense forests, the horses in the western continent are all serious horses, but they are not the horses that the dragonborns ride in the Skyrim Province and travel through time and space, and they can't cope with the complex terrain with gentle slopes and bushes.
"Go all the way to the southeast, about fifteen miles."
Carroso took out a brass compass with intricate inscriptions and simple texture from his tattered clothes, and the pointer pointed to the deep mountains and old forests in the southeast direction, this compass was a psionic prop, two compasses were a pair, with a range limit of a hundred miles, and would mark each other's location.
"There are a lot of abandoned mines over there, and it's a good place to hide, but I don't know if they have collapsed over time."
Claude judged this, and at this time, more than 20 of his subordinates also followed and joined the rescue operation together.
"There is no time, we must pick up people before the sun sets, if we don't find anyone until night, not only will it be more difficult on our side, but there may be something wrong on the port side."
Li Si Te pondered that the pursuers here might also send someone to ventilate with the gendarmes of Linden City, damn it, they had encountered the worst situation, and the road from Lavender Town to Secret Harbor would be blocked, which meant that Black Sail would have to go to war with those Syrians.
This is not a matter of killing a way, but a life-and-death annihilation war between the two sides, so I have to let the invincible General Fen think of a way.
"Every minute has to be fought for now, and the later we delay, the faster the Linden City side will be blocked."
Lister asked one of Claude's men to borrow a broadsword to open the way in the jungle, and had cut down a few shrubs, not only trees in the dense forest, but many clumps of woody plants would grow in the rainfall in the coastal areas.
"Don't be so troublesome, you have to save your strength."
Caroso's current feeling for a group of four is quite reliable, although he smells of the sea, a typical pirate, but his judgment is not to be said, and the earl's vision is okay.
Caroso rested his hand on his broad sword, his dry, cracked lips opening and closing, and whispered a prayer to the thirteen Holy Spirits, the god of light and thunder, also known as the Lord of the Endless Firmament.
"Don't do it at this time, big brother."
Li Shi looked stupid, and he deserved to be a demon of the Holy See.
Claude interrupted Lister to stop talking, as a native of the city of Syria, he knew the magic of the Holy See, and he also knew the position of the Heavenly Punishment better than the Black Sails group, in a broad sense, all incredible phenomena are called magic, but there are many ways to it, extending countless types, astrology, prophecy, arcane, spells, etc., and the Holy See calls their magic miracles.
It's not that just reciting the prayer will work directly, otherwise everyone is a heavenly punisher, the prayer is just a medium, or a psychological hint to oneself, which involves a lot of depth, mysterious, and mysterious, maybe related to the power of faith, not that the demon can't figure out the relationship, and no one knows whether there is a real God.
The Heavenly Punisher is the being in the Church of the Holy Spirit who can sense the Holy Spirit and borrow a part of it from the infinite power of the Holy Spirit.
As Carroso swiped his hand on the sword, with a strange hum, golden thunder light was like countless flying silk snakes coiled on the blade, lingering, mixed into chaos and surging wildly, with a terrifying sound.
Xia Di and Swan were both shocked, and the Heavenly Punisher had some doorways.
"I wipe ......"
Li Shi was stunned, he really has a Holy Spirit, General Fen killed people, his atheism didn't work,, he had finished greeting all the famous gods in this land in the past ten years, wouldn't he have to suffer heavily? But it's okay for so many years, it must be the second master who blocked himself, Guan Gong for eternity.
Caroso walked in front of Li Shi to lead the way, and when he encountered the bushes that stood in the way, he burned them with a thunder sword, and they all became coke powder, and the efficiency was I don't know how many times.
Li Shi calmed down, now is not the time to think about this, just go with the five of you, and the horses on the way back must be watched, otherwise they will be blocked to death, leaving more than 20 of Claude's subordinates to stay here.
Led by Caroso, the group of five made the fastest way through the dense forest, all the way down the hillside, across the stream, and towards the compass mark of the Heavenly Punisher.
It's all hob meat on the edge of life and death, and no one has poor physical fitness.
Half an hour later.
Li Shi and the others confronted the Aramaic pursuers who formed a siege network, and these pursuers were all too familiar with Caroso's face.
Their combat quality is higher than that of Linden City, and the chasing soldiers and the besiegers who brush up their resumes are not at the same level.
The first second the gendarmerie captain's eyes were on these people.
"Queue, six o'clock, shoot!"
A musket team of more than ten people raised their guns at the same time, pulled the trigger, and shot at a group of five people.
Not to mention Caroso and Claude.
Black Sails and his gang have had dozens of sea encounters, pirates, navies, merchant ship guards, bounty hunters, I don't know how many have been slaughtered, how can they not be familiar with this set?
The five people reacted very quickly, all hiding behind trees, and as the gunshots ended, the smoke filled the air, and the accuracy of the smoothbore guns was already fatal, and none of them were shot.
The captain of the gendarmerie is extremely high-quality, and he knows that the heavenly punishment is extremely powerful, and he chased from the giant wall to the east coast and cut down more than seventy or eighty people on his side, and the rest must be rescuers from the coast, who are his opponents?
When the other party had already killed after loading, he immediately ordered a scattered retreat, defended with a melee weapon, and moved closer to the position of the school officer.
Without hesitation, a squad of gendarmes began to run up the mountainside.
Shady and Swann are known for their speed, how can they give this opportunity.
Now it is not an assassination, it is a frontal battle, Swan did not use a dagger, but put two short knives in his mouth, his limbs and flew out, and the moment he pounced, he held the short knife in both hands, jumped on the back of a gendarme, crossed his two knives and put it on his neck, and immediately struck his head, and the broken neck was like a spring of blood.
Shady had traveled to the Far Eastern Islands and studied qigong, at least that's what he said.
It's really like a light body technique, leaning sideways on a tree at 90 degrees vertical step a few steps and then kicking hard, actually flying in the forest like a fast pedaling to borrow strength, the black cloth is like a ghost phantom winding and jumping, the thin blade lancet first cut off one person's head, the other person didn't have time to react at all, was inserted into the back by the knife, a large section emerged from the front of the belly, and was directly pierced.
In terms of foot strength, Carroso and Claude are also first-class, quickly catching up, Caroso's thunder light sword is amazingly destructive, divided into gold and iron, the gendarmes are cut in two with sword blocks, and the chain mail on their bodies is also like a void, they are cut off diagonally and the upper body slides off, and the large section is burned to the ground, and not a drop of blood comes out.
"What's wrong with you?"
Carroso yelled at Claude, who was somehow sweaty on his forehead and hesitant to be slashed by a gendarme.
This tall man with more than twenty soldiers, Caroso couldn't figure out that he was being pressed and beaten by a miscellaneous soldier.
