Chapter 548 205. The roar of artillery fire

Fermi’s leather boots stepped on the bluestone road of the morning town.

Heavy and neat footsteps passed on both sides of him, and the advancing solemn team carried a biting breeze.

Sea fog drifts into the town in the early morning, and locals hide in their houses, peering out with fear and curiosity. "Sweet Home" is an island, and with the constant sea breeze, it is much humid than Liberty City.

“This town has a population of more than 3,000, and there are less than 1,700 people who can hold magic guns.”

"So few?"

Nearly half of the elderly and children...

"Many are boys who have not yet grown up, because..." Jack didn't finish the sentence.

Femi remembered the information about "Sweet Home" and came to Mrs. O'Rourke: "Mrs. O'Rourke, please give us an open space to camp and train the militia, and then send the mayor to follow us."< br>
The haggard Mrs. O'Rourke eagerly searched for Annan: "Your city lord..."

"Lord Annan will not interfere."

As a major customer who bought a hundred magic cannons and a thousand magic muskets, and Annan's... suitor, Femi remained polite to Mrs. Orlock, Then he followed the mayor to designate an area outside the town.

As the townspeople knew that they were reinforcements invited by Mrs. O'Rourke, they came out curiously to look at these elite-like soldiers...

Because Karl, the captain of the town guard, as an elite soldier, saw that they Just regular people.

"Mrs. O'Rourke, they..." Karl, the captain of the town guard, couldn't help but ask.

"I believe them, Carl." Mrs. O'Rourke was still recalling Annan's beauty.

Femi asked the town mayor to hire workers to build a camp, and asked Karl, the captain of the town guard, to lead him to the highest point of the island to observe the terrain.

"Sweet Home" is an ordinary island terrain: a long circle of coastline, with the terrain getting higher towards the center. The town is located on a low hill to the northwest, and Lady Orlok's castle is located on the promontory to the west. The cliff is covered with rugged rocks, so there is no need to worry about enemy landings.

To the east is the gold mine, and to the east is a vast forest. The port is to the south of the town. It is the only place in the entire "Sweet Home" suitable for ships to land. The enemy will only come from Coming there.

It has always been Mrs. O'Rourke's reputation and the town guards guarding this island of more than ten square kilometers.

Fermi thought about how to set up a defense line, returned to the town, and armed himself around the port and town. The magic artillery is all set up in the port.

The captain of the town guard, Karl, thinks that part of it should be left in the town, although he cannot recognize the use of these strange-looking heavy magic items without magic fluctuations...

"Magic artillery to deal with the sea Threat, we deal with the landing enemy," Fermi replied.

Next, he handed over the task of patrolling and observing enemy movements to the town guard captain Karl.

The weakness of the Musketeers is the acquisition of information and is limited by the abilities of ordinary people. The advantage is defensive warfare. As long as the front and depth are long enough, they can defeat enemies dozens of times their size... For example, the two musketeers used a depth of more than ten miles to consume a wave of rats.

Carl, the captain of the town guard, was reluctant. He didn't think a group of ordinary people could be of any use...but he had no choice but to comply with Mrs. O'Rourke's order.

Their enemy is the "Black Jewel Pirates", and their leader is the Master Warrior.

It seems ridiculous that a master warrior would find trouble with a master mage, but Mrs. Orlok said that there are traces of other pirates behind the Black Jewel Pirates.

They were like a pack of hyenas, trying to chew off a piece of meat at Sweet Home, and then another... until they devoured it all.

Femi and Jack recruited 1,500 people from the 1,700 people who could handle magic guns. They were not taught formation or obedience, only how to use magic guns.

They didn't have much time. On the third day, Karl, the captain of the town guard, said that there was something strange about the Black Jewel Pirates.

The townspeople also reluctantly taught them how to use magic guns. "What's your name?" Femi picked the best-behaved boy.

"Andy! Sir!" The boy with freckles cleverly imitated the appearance of a musketeer and stood up straight. But because he is thin, he looks like a monkey.

Andy, he is so ordinary that if he stands in a busy city and calls out his name, at least three or four people will look this way.

But it's worse than Jack.

The advent of magical images caused a wave of jacks in the area of ​​influence. The newborn baby is called Jack, the unnamed child is called Jack, and the guy who picks up girls in the pub is also called Jack.

"You are very good. Do you have any problem with letting you lead a team of 100 people?"

Andy, whose father is a miner, said loudly: "No! Sir!"

Karl, the captain of the town guard in the distance, frowned.

What are they doing... letting a boy who can't even hold a sword do this... sir?

The Black Jewel Pirates were getting closer and closer, and Femi and Jack held a banquet at the camp the night before.

"We are hellfire! Bring hellish flames to the enemy!"

The carnival musketeers talked about the past, such as killing hundreds of thousands of ratmen by themselves, And their brave and fearless city lord.

The militiamen believed it and expressed their admiration, but the town guards disdainfully thought they were bragging.

The next day they arrived at the port in thin sea fog. Mrs. O'Rourke also came to watch the ceremony.

Standing in the front row of the militia, the thin but determined Andy made Mrs. O'Rourke's eyes light up. She didn't know there was such a handsome boy in the town...

When the outlines of three pirate ships vaguely appeared on the sea, the Hellfire soldiers spread out, controlled 100 magic artillery, and waited for the three pirate ships. The pirate ship approaches.

When three sea-going ships entered the 300-meter shooting range, Fermi ordered: "Concentrate the fire on the ship with the largest fire first."

They have not tried to attack sea-going ships, so they don't know how effective it will be. ……

Jack raised the battle flag, and the musketeers simultaneously lit the fuse.

Bang——!

Endless flames mixed with blazing smoke rushed into the sky, and the distant flagship was instantly attacked by a violent storm and was riddled with holes.

The pirates who encountered sudden misfortune screamed and jumped from the dismembered ship.

The captain of the town guard, Karl, stood there stupidly, while Mrs. O'Rourke was filled with excitement: "This... is almost as powerful as an eight-ring spell... it is indeed a magic prop invented by Mr. Annan!"

The power of magic artillery equipped with improved magic gunpowder has exceeded that of fireball.

The volley of magic artillery obviously caused overflow damage. Jack let the magic artillery disperse the fire and aimed at the remaining two pirate ships that were turning.

Bang——!

The second salvo fired, sawdust flying across the two pirate ships, seawater poured into the cabins from the holes, and began to capsize.

Two volleys sank three pirate ships, and the magic artillery proved itself.

Next, the Hellfire soldiers led the militia to the coastline, easily harvesting the pirates who had been soaking in the sea and had never seen magic guns.

And as long as the news does not spread, the second wave of attacks and the third wave of pirates will have the same results after encountering magic cannons.

The first battle to defend "Sweet Home" was successful.
