Chapter 407 The Fury of Vengeance
Open up the town of Pavel.
This is the westernmost border of Carginia, a colony belonging to the Imperial Family. Further west, it will really penetrate into the inland of the new continent, and it is also the Barbarian Desolate Land where few pioneers have set foot at present.
The ravines of the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains range, with the fertile Crane Valley, a hunting ground exclusively for the Atrians.
Not far from here is Mount Brown with an altitude of nearly two thousand meters, which is also the most peak not just in name only, but also in reality in this Imperial Family colony.
“Hey! How’s Sarah’s harvest today?”
“Hahaha, great harvest, I caught a leopard skin in good condition today. Come on, I’ll treat you to the tavern.”
“Okay”
It was already evening, and hunters in deerskin jackets and muskets were returning to this settlement in the mountains and forests. A plume of smoke wafted.
In this area where “civilization” and “barbarism” meet, most people who are willing to live here also have two brushes.
As for the families of women and children, they will not stay in this dangerous zone that has not been developed and transformed.
The leading industry of the Kaguinian Colony is the large plantation, which mainly grows food crops such as rice and commercial crops such as tobacco and indigo.
As the earliest colony where Thomastown is located, Carginia has the largest population, largest plantation, and largest Aboriginal slave!
And the function of developing small towns is not just for the so-called pioneering wilderness.
Continuously encroaching on more fertile lands of the indigenous Atrians, in the form of the construction of Neimanst settlements.
Another important function was to capture more Atrian slaves for the colony, of course, mainly hostile small tribes.
Start with the construction of the first colony in the new continent.
In line with the strategic plan for all people to be soldiers, the governors successively issued gun orders to all settlers in response to the new continent’s emerging aboriginal and other dangers.
The “gun order” stipulates that every family must possess firearms, which can be flintlocks, lances and shotguns with a length of no more than 1.37 meters and a larger caliber.
The Militia Act enacted at the same time required each militiaman to bring his own firearm, usually a flintlock and a set of ammunition belts or ammunition packs.
Currently, the major colonies do not have the ability to manufacture firearms, nor can they issue standard firearms to all militiamen. But due to the need for gun repairs, gunsmiths and part-time Firearms Master blacksmiths have appeared in some colonies.
And Pavel Town is such a small and well-equipped armed town!
In addition to a total of 200 young “hunters” equipped with various weapons, a 30-person elite garrison was also stationed, led by an official Knight-level Captain Gray. Commanded by Major Greg.
Together with a mysterious professional transcender nicknamed “Gunman” among the hunters, and a low-level Knight “Old Barron” who came to the new continent to look for opportunities, a total population of less than 300 people. To open up the town, we gathered three Transcenders of Second Rank.
Combined with the equipment that has an absolute advantage, this team alone dares to fight against the indigenous warriors with more than three times the number of them, and win the battle.
However, from their strength, it can be seen from the side that the external living environment of the new continent is harsh.
And every night when they return to the settlement, a glass of rare wine is enough to comfort them from their day’s hard work.
In the only tavern in town, the excellent hunters who are still fully armed have gathered together with wine glasses.
“Cheers! For the perfect leopard skin!”
“Cheers! For a better tomorrow!”
“Cheers! Clan Valley!”
“hahaha”
There are countless reasons to drink alcohol, even in the Clan Valley, which is still under the control of the Atrian natives, obviously They are also regarded as belongings in the bag.
However, when they drank wine and imagined the future.
Boom Rumble Rumble
A thunderous sound of horse hooves came from afar.
The guards on the watchtower outside the town dutifully rang the bronze bell when they saw a large number of cavalry rushing out of the woods in the distance.
clang! clang! clang!
“Enemy attack!”
When the alarm bell goes off, even the most drunk hunter in the tavern reacts immediately He came over, picked up the musket at his feet and rushed out.
For hunters who are very vigilant in the dangerous zone, it is no exaggeration to sleep with their rifles on their pillows every day, and the muskets have long become an inseparable part of their bodies.
Even if they cut down all the trees within 200 meters of the campsite in advance in order to prevent the native sneak attack.
But when I heard the police rush out.
The indigenous Knight, who ran at the front with feathers on his head and painted a picture of a shark’s bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl with oil paint on his face, was not close enough to the wall outside the town to resist his horse. Fifty meters!
Seeing them run out, the indigenous Knight has already launched the attack first, using no longer backward bows and arrows but the “trade rifle” of the civilized people.
Bang! boom! boom! boom!
Smoke everywhere.
After several decades of development, no matter who produces the trade rifle, it has formed a relatively fixed characteristic.
A unified smoothbore flintlock gun, equipped with a light short barrel, has slightly less projectiles than light charges, and does not emphasize formidable power.
The trigger guard is large and can be operated with gloves in cold areas. The components and manufacturing process are simplified, and the cost is very low.
Of course, simple matching also means inefficiency, and not many hunters are knocked down by lead bullets.
After a round of shooting, no matter how much the hit rate was, the natives had already stepped through the gunpowder and rushed up with the melee weapons in their hands.
“Yeah!”
Among them are the slings used by the Barbarian Desolate Era, the obsidian saws and the steel that I don’t know which country or faction sells them. saber!
At the same time, the hunters who came behind the wall at the fastest speed, after scolding the damn black-hearted businessman, relied on the fortifications that had been built a long time ago, and resolutely fired back.
Bang! boom! boom!
As the gun flames flickered, some indigenous cavalrymen fell from their horses.
Whether the weapons in the hands of the hunters are formidable power or precision, they are obviously far above the natives!
This is also inevitable.
For these pioneers from the “civilized world”, that kind of inferior trade rifle is not to be seen.
Because there are not many cases of large-scale use of firearms in the new continent, the settlers and pioneers used firearms for hunting and personal defense, and every shot counts.
And the rifled guns, which are not complete and expensive at the beginning, are far more in line with their pursuit of precision than the muskets.
As a result, the settlers of the new continent favored rifled rifles more than the kingdom itself, and even among gunsmiths, a chain of rifled gun modifications and corresponding tactics and even culture gradually developed. .
Among them, the Kentucky-style rifle is the most popular.
The barrel length is 1.17m, the full length of the gun is 1.57m, and the .44-48 caliber is the most common, smaller than the .58-69 caliber that is common for muskets. The handguard and butt are slender, and the weight is only 3.63 -4.54kg.
Although the Kentucky rifles hand-crafted by different gunsmiths are different, they generally have a longer body, a smaller caliber and a lighter weight.
This is also the basic feature of the new continent long rifled gun, and it is the personalized development of the firearm to adapt to the new continent wilderness environment. From the development path of firearms, it is obvious that the new continent has already walked in front of the old continent.
Because of the high muzzle velocity and accuracy brought by the small caliber, long spear tube, the Kentucky rifle can reach a range of 274.3 meters in an experienced shooter.
In comparison, the long-bore rifle has a range of less than 91.4m, and is more bulky, not to mention the inferior trade rifles in the hands of the natives.
Therefore, when the hunters launched a counterattack under the organization of the garrison Major Greg, the absolute musket performance advantage allowed them to fiercely suppress the momentum of the native cavalry charge.
In particular, Ralph, one of the hunters’ leaders, carried eight long muskets on his back and three short muskets on his waist. Every time he shot, a native would fall down.
And this is where they dare to fight against three times the number of natives, even more how with fortifications.
Not to mention the more than 400 natives in the trifling outside, even if they doubled again, they are not afraid at all.
“Hahaha, the damn natives should be obedient enough to dig and farm. I’m going to sell all the guys who didn’t die after the battle to the plantation.”
“That’s right. , it happened that we haven’t hunted slaves for a while, and the planters have complained to me several times.”
“”
However, the situation in the town was very good. , when the garrison and the hunters had stabilized in the sudden surprise attack.
In the woods two hundred meters away, a group of robust natives with azure black tattoos walked out.
Yeah!
Seeing the situation on the battlefield, they roared loudly, raised their obsidian sawswords that had been blessed by the shaman with aura, and charged forward.
These people don’t ride horses because they run faster than galloping horses!
It was dusty.
The relaxed look on Major Greg’s face had completely dissipated.
One, two, three for a total of eleven!
The Totem engravings on their bodies kept twisting, and before they approached a ferocious aura from the savage assaults the senses.
It seems that it is not a group of people, but a group of bloodthirsty beasts. Especially the eyes glowing with blood light, it’s like swallowing up these people!
Not just literally “eat it alive”.
Many hunters, who were still chatting and laughing just now, faced this situation, and they were fighting with each other, and even the accuracy of their muskets was lowered by several notches.
“The Great Shark Totem, this is the Araucan clan that has slaughtered the three pioneering towns of the kingdom!”
Seeing the Totem on them, Major Greg’s teeth are already The bite was crunching, and he was clearly aware of it.
Even if you are an official Knight, unless you turn around and run away now, it is hard to avoid calamity today.
However, he touched the special potion in his pocket that the Governor had distributed for each pioneering town. The Major drew out his saber resolutely, loudly shouted:
“ The garrison, fight!”
sou! sou! sou!
In the blink of an eye, the eleven Totem Warriors had already passed the cavalry and rushed into the town. Rejecting the horse was chopped to pieces with a single sword.
Hand-to-hand combat, no, the slaughter begins!
The huge gap in the extraordinary level cannot be made up by ordinary firearms and equipment or the will to fight.
The low-level Knight “Old Barron” was the first to be besieged.
Then, carrying eight fine rifled Kentucky rifles, the “gunner” of the achieved perfection used the musket.
It was only in a burst of wind, and after killing two people, it was overwhelmed by more Totem Warriors.
As the most powerful Major Greg, after beheading one person with the conviction of death, he was also slashed in the chest by the chief of the Araukan clan, Manguenke.
At the last moment, I just poured the potion in my hand onto the opponent, and laughed miserably:
“The Araukan clan, the kingdom will avenge us!”
p>
Then he fell to the ground without making a sound.
“Bah! Intruders are not qualified to talk about ‘revenge’!”
He spat in disdain, and the tall and abnormal body had a Great White Shark Totem full of Guenke, A steel dagger has been taken out and Greg’s scalp has been gouged out and his heart gone.
According to the will of the gods, you can gain more power by capturing more of the invader’s flesh for sacrifice.
The colonists are scalped and sacrificed to the gods, while the warriors devour the hearts of the colonists killed by their own hands, and as long as they kill enough, they can even become new Totem Warriors!
This is also the reason why the Araukan clan is not large, but has so many Totem Warriors.
Meanwhile.
On a tree in the outer forest, an indigenous Atrian wizard wearing a black feather cloak and holding a bird-headed witch wand, watching everyone being slaughtered, has blood flowing into a river The town of Pavel, which is like a slaughterhouse, burst out with a quack smile:
“Kill it! Eat it! Under the guidance of Lady Crow, with all the natural spirits as the vanguard, the flame of vengeance It will completely burn the entire continent!”
