Chapter 547 Escape
North of the new continent, Buffalo, a colony of the Kingdom of Ilia.
For the ordinary commoner, it is mostly because of being a last resort that they leave the kingdom and come to the new continent to find a way out, and it is almost impossible to return to their hometown.
Once.
There is some hope for them in this dangerous but vast land. As a Niemanst who was born “expert first-class”, as long as he is not lazy, it is not too difficult to support his family.
However, things have changed recently.
“Johnson, have you heard? Yesterday, two loggers entered the cedar forest and have not come out until now. It is very likely that something has happened.”
“The town Mr. Chang, I heard that this should be the third disappearance since half a month, right?”
In a very warm wooden house that is not luxurious but decorated, a burly physique The bearded man poured a glass of water to a well-dressed old man beside him.
There is no tea or coffee. Obviously, this family may have no problem with food and clothing, but it is not rich enough to purchase luxury goods to entertain guests.
After taking the water glass, the old man frowned was obviously thoughtful:
“Yeah! There must be some cannibal wild beast running around the town again.
I have decided to organize a hunting team to enter the forest to kill those wild beasts, so that this homeland that has been built together since your father’s generation can return to peace.
As the most powerful in town Hunter and militia Captain, this operation is all up to you.”
The man named Jonson heard this, banged his sturdy chest, and agreed:
“No problem, Mr. Mayor, please rest assured, tomorrow I will gather people to go into the woods for a circle.”
Hearing the man’s words, Old Town Head loosened his grip. He frowned and took a deep breath:
“Please, Jonson!”
After chatting with the burly man for a while, the mayor put on his own With a top hat inlaid with pearls, he picked up a cane with a silver handle, stood up, and left.
Until the silhouette of the old man completely disappeared at the end of the field of vision, the expression on the face of the hearty hunter who seemed to be rectal changed instantly, within both eyes there was a dim bright light glittering, and fiercely spat:
“Bah, a cannibal wild beast? Is there a wild beast in the woods that can kill two adults at once? I don’t know?
Since the colonial governor completely fell, those tin After the strange people of Lacusa came to town, people started to disappear in half a month. Do you think everyone else is a fool?
Organizing hunters to enter the forest is not to destroy the ‘wild beast’, but It’s to add food to some ‘monster’ who don’t know anything!”
After venting slightly, Jonson quickly rushed back to the house, knowing that the time was running out.
After the “guest” left, his wife in a long sackcloth dress and their son had come out of the bedroom.
“Quick! Sandy, pack your things right away, Buffalo can’t stay any longer.
This Old Guy is clearly after us and wants to get rid of us The unstable factor has turned the entire town into a reserve for those ‘monster’ captives!”
They may be a little closed to the news that is too far away, but with the fall of the original governor of the kingdom, The consul of the largest nearby city, Syracuse, was also quietly replaced.
There are more and more eccentrics with bluish complexion and icy temperament as if they can freeze people.
The disappearance of human beings in the colony has also begun to emerge one after another, and an inexplicable sense of panic has gradually spread in the towns in the vicinity, which everyone can experience.
As the militia Captain, Jonsson is also a well-informed figure. This feeling is particularly profound. He has already noticed something wrong and has made arrangements.
Today’s “please request” from Old Town Head made him instantly aware of his dangerous situation, and therefore made his final determination.
However, my ten-year-old son didn’t realize that this was an escape trip to say goodbye to his hometown where he lived in peace for a generation. He raised his head and asked curiously:
“father, where are we going?”
hugging his son gently, the man stared into his eyes and said seriously:
“We’re going not far from here Long Island Harbor, where there are free sea ships that can take us to the stable Pharetians colony in the south. In this dangerous land, only a strong leader can guarantee our life.
Little Dick, do father a favor. Go to your three Uncles, Dewar, Eden, and Kim, and bring me a message and ask them to meet at our house immediately.”
“Okay !”
Five kilometers west of Long Island Harbor.
clang! clang! clang!
There are sparks in the night sky, the captain of the “May Wind” is officially Knight Chris and the captain of the Level 5 ship “The Shaker” Life Tree Totem Warrior Zinaro, wielding a long knife and besieging a tall and vigorous silhouette.
However.
Even in the face of the siege of two official transcenders, this silhouette with two thin-edged straight knives seems to be able to move forward and retreat with ease, and its strength is far above the two.
Even while dodging, he kept adding fuel to the fire of two already angered opponents.
“Oh, I can’t hit it, I still can’t hit it!”
“Aiya, what a pity, it’s only one centimeter away from my rounded buttocks!”
“Admit it, you’re just jealous that I can pinch bulls at will! And my bulls are bigger than you all person’s! ah ha ha ha .”
There is no doubt that, This guy with a mouth full of venom is a tool that has been covered with a layer of bionic skin by Alwin, Billy the Clockwerk.
With a “poisonous tongue”, in just one month, all new colleagues have been completely offended.
So far, he has not been taken away by the “sap, sack, and sinking” set, simply because he is too strong!
As for why they are here?
Alwin used the treasure plundered from Bradley the “Oathbreaker” as the start-up capital for the territory.
The marble-operated town of Piggens in the north of the Georgian Territory, the ceramic town in the middle, the steel city in the Cumberland mountain range in the west, the two deep-water ports Savannah and Brunswick adjacent to the Black Sea in the east, Even the first textile factory has at least an outline.
Another main line of the cotton textile industry, a large area of cotton plantations.
With the original strategy and the expansion of publicity and excellent shipping conditions, many Ilya pioneers have gradually flocked to Georgia with their families and mouths.
Although cotton is generally planted in April each year, the plantation is unable to provide raw materials this year. But in the humid subtropical monsoon climate, it is possible to grow tobacco in September, and harvest it in early winter without leaving the fields idle.
The main reason for this situation is the collapse of the ruling system of the former governor of the Kingdom of Ilya and the rampant “ghoul” on the one hand; the rise of Alwin’s fame in recent years and its widespread popularity among tulips is another.
Besides Phaletis, because of the Garriott family, the people who pay the most attention to him are probably the people of Ilya.
Under the premise that many people need to serve as indentured slaves for 4-7 years to pay the shipping costs, they have almost no ability to cross the Black Sea back to the mainland after arriving in the new continent.
Leaving the Ilya colony, which is now gradually becoming dire, it is particularly important to choose a suitable next home. The resounding name of Alwin Garriott is the time to play its own brand effect.
So.
After the “High Cliff Castle” was breached, Goll had already taken the “Maywind”, “The Shake” and two brigs spun out of the privateer fleet. Came to Long Island Harbor in Elijah.
The achievement of almost annihilating the “Oathbreakers” pirate regiment made Lieutenant General Gustav, the commander of the garrison, gain a lot of face in front of the Queen and the army. So everyone shows respect to each other, and it’s not a major event for Alwin to occasionally use public tools for private use.
So now there is a third rank extraordinary sitting in town, as long as the free people in this colony are willing to go, no one can forcibly stop them.
Chris, Zinaro, and Biliver, who is a front-runner, are stationed in this camp outside the city. The purpose is also to prevent Elijah’s new owner from not playing cards according to the rules of the game and doing it in advance. Just a precautionary measure.
In fact, this kind of thing is not only done by Alwin himself, but also by the other five member states of Tulip. As the lifespan of the kingdom guarding the “Raging Waves” has gradually come to an end, Ilya’s interior has also turned into a pot of porridge.
The entire kingdom has also come to the most turbulent time. Where does the new continent colony that hangs in isolation come from the sovereignty and territorial integrity? The allies did not move this land for the time being, which also gave the kingdom guardian the last breath of face.
With Alwin’s current status, status, and strength, he is enough to get a share of it, and no one will think that he is not qualified.
Suddenly.
Bang!
A sudden gunshot in the wilderness alerted the three people in the melee.
Biliff, whose strength has surpassed the second rank peak Knight, reacted the fastest, leaving two people behind and rushing out.
“ah ha ha, finally something interesting, stop playing with you boring guys.”
Go west and go two kilometers further into the continent.
The two rudimentary carriages have already stopped, three savvy hunters in deerskins are half-squatting on the top of the carriage, and five large but very thin hyenas are surrounded in the dark. confrontation.
The hands of the three people holding the guns trembled slightly, and they saw with their own eyes a few pale-skinned humans turned into hyenas, which broke their three views.
Only Jonson, the leader of the hunters, who carried two Kentucky rifles on his back, temporarily intimidated them with his smoke-smowing rifle and his record of killing a hyena with one shot.
However.
“wu wu wu ”
While constantly wandering, digging the ground with their claws and growling in their throats, this group of “hyenas” is obviously not going to let them go.
Right now.
In the darkness near the Long Island Harbor, there was a sudden laughter:
“Hahaha, come on, let’s have a showdown! I just want to kill everyone, or Killed by everyone!”
At the same time when a group of “hyenas” suddenly turned around and jumped high to attack.
sou!
A silhouette wrapped in a gust of wind flew out, and the two straight knives in his hands turned into a bright curtain of light, blood splashing everywhere.
Bang——
When the five “hyenas” landed, they had turned into five silhouettes with pale skin in robes. Obviously, they were not real hyenas, but had human and Hyena’s dual form of ghoul.
Billy threw off the blood on the blade and put the knife back into the sheath, not forgetting to use the poisonous tongue to make up the knife:
“Aiya, sorry, it looks like I killed everyone. What.”
In the wide eyes of the hunters, he was talking to himself while reaching out to patted the ass of the “ghoul” one by one, as if to confirm whether they were completely dead. .
pa! pa! pa!
Well, Billy has not only regained his original self, he seems to have awakened to something amazing.
In the night, there is a faint remnant of his comment:
“This is too dry.”
“This is too bad.”
“No one is as good as mine”
