The island includes the organizers of the bloody rituals, as well as the young natives who have just come of age, and only a few dozen of them barely have some fighting power.

In the face of a sudden disaster, I have long panicked.

All of them subconsciously concentrated near the temple, wanting to resist until the end of the ceremony, and wait for the tribesmen on the other islands to rescue them.

It happened to be easily rounded by the pirates.

Compared to the normal Tylen people, this group of headhunters living on the edge of the "celestial circulation" are short in stature, probably only as tall as teenagers.

And the skin is dark, the hair is slightly curly, and the face is painted with white eerie oil paint.

The inherited system of witchcraft is also different from the mainstream beast spirit warriors of the Bantaan Islands.

In other words, the Bantaan Islands mainly use various beast spirits, and they are human undead in various capacities.

Head reduction is one of the most common carriers.

At this time, each of these survivors of the plague who had not died for the time being had a string of shriveled human heads the size of a fist hanging around their necks.

After entering the battle state, those heads all opened their eyes, flashed ghostly fire, and blessed their own power on their masters.

"The spirit tells me that it is these outsiders who bring the disease, and that they are white-skinned devils!"

"Kill them!"

"Whoa"

The headhunters let out a threatening roar from their mouths, each holding a blow arrow made of human bones, and charged at the pirates in formation.

Clang!

Alfred, standing at the front of the musketeers, slashed at a poisoned blow arrow fired at him.

Looking at these headhunters who had obviously not seen the power of muskets, and did not dodge or dodge the headhunters who took the initiative to rush towards them, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on their faces.

"Three-stage shot, fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunsmoke billowed out, and the blazing line of fire instantly covered the entire battlefield.

Even if the accuracy of these front-loading smoothbore guns is impressive, under a salvo, it is enough to increase the hit rate to 100%.

In an instant, blood and brains splashed everywhere, screaming and wailing all over the field.

But most of these surviving headhunters are transcendents who have mastered black magic.

In particular, there is no shortage of second-order experts among the high-ranking clans in charge of organizing the rituals.

There are also extraordinary means such as "human head for death", "skull shield", witchcraft props, etc.

After two rounds of three-stage shooting, there were still sporadic two or three rushing in front of the team.

"Get on the bayonet and stab them!"

The pirates immediately pulled out their shiny bayonets from their holsters at their waists and put them on the muzzles of their guns.

In fact, the bayonet has only just appeared on the Old Continent, thousands of kilometers away in the Bantaan Islands, which are not yet popular.

Moreover, the original version put the bayonet directly inside the muzzle, and the bayonet could not be fired, and its practicality was limited.

The version used by Byron's pirates was an improved version of his first creation, with a bayonet mounted outside the muzzle of the gun, which could be used far or close.

It was named by him: sleeve bayonet.

A modified bayonet with a blade length of 32 centimeters is enough to pierce two adult men in the chest, and the power is extremely fierce.

"Brothers, Your Excellency Sea Hunter is assembling his own Guard, Deathwing.

In the end, whether you can be selected and get the best treatment in the company depends on your performance. ”

"Give it to me, stab ——!"

"Roar! Stab! ”

Aren't they training hard for today?

Their mission this time was not only to capture the crystal skull, but also to test the training results of the new combat methods.

One by one, they stabbed out their muskets at the attacking enemy.

[Blood Red Whiskey] had no intention of making a move, so he quietly watched the musketeers play.

"Your Excellency Captain is truly a genius military strategist."

The transition of arquebuses to flintlock pistols has not been a few years old, and the appearance of bayonets has been even shorter.

Many people who are now in the torrent of the times have not yet realized what a drastic change in military tactics is about to be triggered by the coordination of flintlock pistols and bayonets.

What triggered this round of military change was not only the relatively delicate flintlock pistol bolt, but also the inconspicuous bayonet that seemed to have little technical content.

Even if it is so inconspicuous that it didn't even reward Byron with a [Holy Relic].

The privateer's fleet was now well trained, and every pirate officer had been personally trained by Byron, and was well aware of the five advantages of flintlock muskets with bayonets.

Alfred's ears reappeared in Byron's speech:

"The first point is that the arquebuses carry open flames with each other, and if they get too close, they are very likely to set themselves on fire, and even induce gunpowder explosions on their comrades.

It must be more than one person apart, and it is not possible to arrange a dense formation.

Flintlock pistols have no open flames, which greatly improves safety, and can be close together, creating a steel wall of bullets. ”

"The second point is that the arquebus has no hand-to-hand combat power at all, and must be protected by additional pikemen on both sides, and most of the combat effectiveness is wasted.

a thousand-man army, only five hundred men at a long shot; In close combat, there were only 500 men.

The flintlock pistol, on the other hand, was equipped with a bayonet, and a man could be both a musketeer and a pikeman, and when firing from a distance, a regiment of thousands; In close combat, it is still a thousand-man legion.

One person for two purposes, the combat power has been greatly increased! ”

"Thirdly, the arquebus queues were too far apart. If you encounter a fierce enemy army, you will often be scattered and unable to hold your position.

The flintlock pistol is equipped with a bayonet, which can be fired in a volley from a distance, and can be formed into a gun formation at a close distance, and the formation is close, even in hand-to-hand combat, it will not be afraid.

There was no room for the soldiers to be afraid and run away. ”

"Fourth, the arquebus is coordinated with the melee arms, the system is complex, and the tactics required are numerous.

The flintlock pistol with the bayonet is unified, the tactics are much simpler, and the requirements for the personnel quality of the musketeers will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, after the unification of the command system, even if the soldiers and generals are separated, it will not affect the combat effectiveness of the musket team.

Ensure that the top level firmly grasps the military power. ”

Last but not least.

"In the Arquebus era, musketeers worked with melee units, and the drill was extremely difficult.

If you want to build a qualified team, it is normal to spend two or three years.

But flintlock pistols with bayonets, there are not many tactics and not many changes, even a peasant who does not know a single word can go directly to the battlefield after spending a few months practicing the queue.

It is possible to achieve a military explosion in the shortest possible time, so that a country's human resources can be continuously transformed into war potential.

As long as there is a war, you can increase your troops by a million at any time! ”

This new method of warfare, in the words of the art of war that Byron had seen in his previous life, is:

"The brave must not be the first, the cowardly must not be behind, the group of guns pokes, the group of guns poked, the knives are chopped, and the indiscriminate killing is returned to him, but they are all hugged together, it is difficult to change hands, how can they tolerate jumping left and right?"

In his previous life, every time he saw foreign films and television, he was playing the battle of the Great Army.

There is not even a formation, and they are messed up with each other to catch and fight, who kills the other party first, who is the winner?

Is that a war, or a group fight?

If you don't have the corresponding advanced organizational strength, why should you fight the war of millions in your history books?

Fighting in the legions of the low-magic world, how can there be any room for so-called masters to play?

Only when personnel, equipment, and tactics match each other can the dominance of the "way of gathering the crowd" be truly brought into play.

It's like according to this training model pioneered by Byron, you only need to catch some criminals, bankrupts, and homeless people to easily form an army, and it doesn't affect combat effectiveness at all.

If you give such a guard, which is essentially a musket team, equipped with Azk's gold skeleton coins, it will be the real [Deathwing]!

What about being shot in line?

Come on, come on, let's die first, everyone is free.

"Kill ——!"

At this moment, the explosive human head thrown by the headhunter at close range was violently blown away by the fierce wind set off by the Eagle Spirit Warrior.

Then the natives ran headlong into the non-adjective "hail of bullets."

Wave after wave, witchcraft can block one shot, but it can't block ten shots or a hundred shots.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it was poked into a sieve.

One of the most ornate headdresses, probably the head of the native, looked at the [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred who walked leisurely in front of him.

There was not much fear of death on his face, but he pleaded with difficulty:

"Outsiders, when you eat me and eat me, I hope you will follow our tradition of eating raw and raw offal.

Let my soul ascend to heaven. ”

The language spoken on the island is in the same language family as Taya, and the indigenous pirates from the Taya city-state can barely understand it.

Immediately step forward and act as an interpreter.

As the intelligence said, the headhunters here not only hunt heads, but also have a tradition of cannibalism.

There is no cemetery on the nearby island at all, because not only the enemy, but also the dead relatives will eat together.

The enemy gives you strength, and your loved ones are with you!

Hearing his request, the Taya city-state [Eagle Spirit Warrior] who acted as an interpreter hurriedly waved his hand:

"No, no, no, we're at war, you know?

In the last battle between the two overlords of the Bantaan Islands, thousands of people were killed in the battle between the two sides. ”

The headhunter clearly did not understand his words:

"Can you eat so many people in one meal? Or picky eater, eating only offal? ”

[Eagle Spirit Warrior] couldn't help but continue to correct him:

"We are not like you barbarians, we only fight, we sacrifice at most, and we do not eat people."

Hearing this, the headhunter leader's eyes widened, and he said with grief and indignation:

"Don't eat?!!

Is killing just for fun? You guys are too savage! Hoho"

found that his death was worthless, and he didn't take a breath, and he was angry on the spot.

Alfred waved his hand:

"Don't waste any corpses on the ground, and collect all those who have died for less than an hour."

Others don't eat it, but we in the Blood Thirsty Order do.

"Yes, Captain."

The pirate officers behind him with a green glow in their eyes stepped forward and spread out their left hand, revealing a [Blood Grail] mark in their palms.

The blood light bloomed, transforming all the fresh corpses on the ground into high-quality [Transmutation Blood].

Since Alfred has fallen on the big tree of the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company, he has also become the [knight] in the right hand of King Byron, and has the capital to settle down.

There is even hope of defeating the "Book of Worms" and reclaiming the Blood Thirsty Order.

He naturally reabsorbed those defeated dogs of the "Bloody Mary Pie" into his team, and quickly became a pirate officer by relying on the 721 Captain fission mode.

"Captain, the skull has been found."

Soon, the Assassins found the Crystal Skull No. 12 [Polaris God] that Byron had named for him from the temple full of shriveled human heads.

Delivered to Alfred.

Thanks to the proper use of tactics and the overwhelming superiority of the musket training method, their team was largely free of dead men.

Smooth and full load.

However, their good fortune ended there.

When the group had just arrived at the beach with the trophies, they suddenly found that another outsider's warship had also arrived in this sea.

And it's coming in their direction at high speed.

The exaggerated red, yellow and white paint makes it easy to identify each other from a distance of more than a dozen nautical miles.

It was precisely in order to chase the treasure of "Treasure Island" that he came to the nearby [Bone Clown] Kraskin's fourth-class ship [Circus]!
