Chapter 35: Samuel
Thank you brothers for the monthly passes......
Wen Fei was quite satisfied, and said, "I have here the weapon I took from the Ghost Emperor Dazun, it is extremely powerful, and it can sweep this castle away." But the weapons of the gods are not available to mortals. Anyone who wields this weapon will die to pieces, so are you still willing?"
A young warrior pounced first, grabbed Wen Fei's calf, and shouted, "I'm going to kill all those white ghosts, wizard, give me that weapon!"
Driven by this person, the other Cado warriors no longer hesitated and shouted one after another.
Wen Fei said: "Okay, the Ghost Emperor Dazun hates these white ghosts the most. Any warrior who dies in battle with the white ghost can be transformed into a deceased under the throne of the gods......"
After a flicker, although at any time you may encounter reinforcements from the Hurons. But Wen Fei was still not in a hurry to let them attack immediately, but patiently waited for the darkness to come.
After all, in this era, there were already muskets and artillery. Even with explosives strapped to them, it would be difficult for them to get under the walls during the day.
At this time, the scale of Quebec was not very large, with a population of only two or three thousand, and some of them were women and children.
Unlike the adventurers who came to this continent from the British, they were all villains, bankrupts, and even infidels. The French colonizers, however, were all national troops.
If the North American Brits came to this continent to make a fortune, to pursue freedom, and so on. The French are here to expand their territory, and of course it is inevitable to get rich.
Unlike the early Brits, who were all lonely and poor. Among Quebec. There are also many families of colonists.
Samuel de Champlain, standing on the wall, is in his fifties. As a successful one on this strange continent. Acting Governor for the territory of France. He enjoys extremely high prestige here.
Although at the beginning, he thought that this was already the East. He was even commissioned by King Louis XIII of France to find a way to India or the East......
However, decades after coming to this continent, he already clearly knew that it was just a beautiful misunderstanding. This place under your feet is not India at all. Those Indians have nothing to do with India.
It's a whole new piece. The New World has never been discovered. There are no empires like India and China, only these scattered indigenous people.
Here, at his feet. It's New France. Samuel even thought that maybe in his lifetime, he would be able to conquer the entire continent, this continent. Completely turned into French land.
As long as he is given more support at home. Send more soldiers!, but the damned merchants are just staring at the lucrative fur business. This made him a little disheartened!
As for the Azimans who came to attack, they were not in his eyes at all. These guys, who used to only use stone weapons, can't take down this dangerous city at his feet!
This is his glory, and it is the place he created with his own hands, the glory of New France. With these cowardices, they surrounded the day from afar. These indigenous people, who didn't dare to approach at all, couldn't hurt a single stone of his Quebec at all!
"Maybe it's because these natives are getting smarter now. Zhilu Dao should be in awe of the cannons of our civilized world!" Samuel's adjutant said slightly reservedly, with the aristocratic tone of Paris.
"Yes, the natives should learn to be in awe! Samuel said arrogantly, "Your Majesty, if you are willing to send an army of ten thousand, no, only five thousand." I'll be able to conquer the land beneath my feet!"
The adjutant who was directly sent by Louis XIII smiled slightly: "Do you know that this is impossible, how many ships do 10,000 people need? How much food do you need? Although we are strong in France, we cannot withstand this kind of consumption." What's more, we still have so many enemies!"
Samuel sighed, although what Adjutant Zhilu Dao said made sense, he still felt a lot of regret. It seems that in his lifetime, he will not be able to completely conquer this continent.
It was late at night, and the soldiers who were originally on guard began to slack off. As Samuel thought, these natives are cowards!
The original momentum pounced on him, and after seeing Quebec, he was too frightened to attack. Even far away came to a halt under the range of the cannon.
Originally, it made the defenders a little nervous. But after two days of waiting, the defenders had completely relaxed.
None of them noticed as it got darker and darker. Several dark shadows approached the castle nimbly.
All the way to the vicinity of the city walls, a raging flame burned with whale oil, illuminating the castle for dozens of meters around the castle. The shadows stopped. According to Wen Fei's teachings, they used the blind spots of light and shadow to cautiously lurk and approach.
Samuel of this era was already resting in his room, in fact, the room where he lived, one of the three two-story buildings connected by the city walls, and when you opened the window, you could even see the rushed St. Lawrence River below. Not far away, is the sea. If you want to come to France, the royal fleet should be coming soon, right?
The warehouses were already filled with all kinds of furs, many of which were still stained with the blood of the natives. And when these things are shipped back to Europe, they will be exchanged for golden francs. In the same way, because of these furs, all kinds of food, weapons, and all kinds of materials needed by the colonies will continue to pour in. Maintaining the vitality of New France......
But at this time, Samuel's heart was shocked, and he quickly threw himself on the table, and hurriedly found a monocular. Looking towards the sea.
I saw that under the clouds of the night, a large ship was moving in the direction of the dock. The sailboat was strange-looking, but it was definitely not a ship of the Royal Fleet of France, as it had a huge skull flag flying high on it.
"It's pirates, how could these damn pirates get their damn pirate ship into this river?" Samuel cursed scrambled.
At this time, it is the time of high tide. The sea was so overwhelming that the whole of the St. Lawrence River was more than twice as wide at once.
A strange pirate ship entangled in a faint mist suddenly appeared in the telescope with the rising tide!
As the moon disappeared into the clouds again, Samuel could see nothing, even with the telescope in his hand.
"Damn!" Samuel quickly put away his binoculars and was about to go out to ring the alarm bell. But he didn't expect a shock under his feet, and he almost couldn't stand up enough and fell to the ground.
Before he could get up, a second, even greater tremor came.
"What's going on?"
Samuel exclaimed in surprise, "Can the guns of these damn pirate ships hit so far?"
Then there was an earth-shattering explosion, and Samuel's floor collapsed with it.
Samuel also fell, and a large collapsed rock hit his thigh. He almost fainted in pain.
With great perseverance, Samuel bit his lip hard, kept his senses, and opened his mouth to call for help.
This is not the right situation tonight, it looks like something big is going to happen! As the acting governor of a place, he needs to be in command.
This is not the Civilized Realm, but the Savage Realm of the New World, which is thousands of miles away. Their colonists, a few thousand people, are a powerful force with advanced weapons.
But there are many ill-intentioned people around, and it can be said that wolves are around. One is not good, all of them will be torn apart and swallowed by the wolves!
The wolf pack is home to native native Indians and traditional enemies to the English colonists. And the Dutch who are eyeing each other and the like. It can be described as full of dangers.
No, he had gathered so many French warriors in this new continent. He can't let them be torn apart by these wolves, he has to lead his warriors to victory after victory!
However, the ideal is bright, but the reality is always ashamed. Before I knew it, a thick fog drifted from the cracks in the collapsed house rushed over.
Even Samuel didn't even notice it before he felt a hint of garlic in his nose.
The smell didn't alert him, just a slight hallucination from his serious injury.
But soon, it's different.
Samuel began to feel a tingling pain between his mouth and nose, and when he breathed, it was even more painful. Again, there was a wailing sound outside.
By this time, Quebec was in turmoil. The flames and waves of the explosion had already blown up more than half of the city wall.
The defenders lived on a two-story building connected to the city walls, similar to Samuel. However, Samuel's identity is different, and the conditions are even better.
As the walls fell, the place where they lived collapsed, and many were either killed or injured.
No one thought that the method of living on the city wall, which was originally just to strengthen their defense, would bring them such a big casualty on this night!
However, this did not bring them the greatest casualties. What brought them even more damage was a heavy, thick black fog that slowly spread from the place where the explosion occurred.
At first, no one was alert, but as more and more people unconsciously stabbed between their noses, blood flowed out. When some people are holding their stomachs and howling on the ground, more and more people find out that something is wrong!
"Dark magic, it's black magic! someone is using black magic against us!" someone screamed in horror. (To be continued......)
