Chapter 20: What Does It Taste For?
Damn, the priest cursed to himself in his stomach. Clasp the cross on your chest with both hands and whisper a prayer.
At this moment, there is a divine and powerful power that emanates from this cross, and it seems to attract some mysterious power. A kind of resonance is formed.
With a "buzzing ......", a white light vibrated out, rapidly expanding, and purifying all the surrounding black qi.
However, it was not until he was happy. The castle, which was almost half in ruins, also resonated.
The priest smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the heretics, who were supposed to be burned on the cross, did not know the importance of the saint's relics and did not destroy them. Or it's bad!
These holy relics are very precious, and they are all items carried by the saints of the past generations, and they have powerful holy power. It is only by opening up a new land, for the sake of those brutal pagan gods, that it will be temporarily placed there.
Fortunately, his cross is the same as the one originally placed in the castle. It has a resonant effect, and it is found lightly.
However, he was not half happy. His face changed, and the vibration of the other half of the holy relic became strange, as if something had happened.
The priest was so frightened that he took up his robe and ran into the castle.
The soldiers in the back, although they did not know what was going on. But seeing that this respected priest was so flustered, he couldn't help but run over.
I saw this priest who was in the prime of life, only in his forties. Stunned, he climbed up a section of the collapsed city wall and cried out with grief and indignation: "Heresy, heresy. These heretics who should be burned at the stake will go to hell and be tormented by Satan......"
The others looked at each other in silence. Especially looking at a large basin of water in the distance, even if it is ten or twenty meters away, you can smell the stench.
They all vaguely guessed something, but they were not sure, and they couldn't open their mouths. One by one, their hearts are awe-inspiring. Compared with the United Kingdom, these countries did everything they could to suppress the old religion in order to squeeze out the influence of Rome. whereas
Although Protestantism rose to prominence among the Dutch, the influence of the old religion was still very great. Most of these people are Believers with money. Seeing such a scene, I felt both fen and chill.
The indigenous people here seem to be different from what they have encountered in South America, and they seem to be more vicious...... Do whatever it takes......
But the next scene. But it made them know thoroughly what it means to be ruthless.
"What smell?" albeit under the cover of a foul smell. But there are still guys who are old in the war, and they seem to smell something different.
The smell seems to be ......
All of a sudden, the faces of those who reacted changed. Staring at the vat, I saw a fuse, snorting and smoking, as if it had burned to the end......
"Run......
"Get down ......"
All kinds of panicked shouts were heard endlessly, but it was too late. I didn't expect that Master Wen would be so mad!
"Boom ......"
A violent explosion blasted the vat full of filth into the sky, sending splatters of filth and debris of the explosion flying all over the sky.
Good for the soldiers of these West India Company. They are all veterans. The land of wealth on the South American side, pirates of all kinds. The indigenous, and even the qingkuang of hostile states, is incredibly complex and prone to conflict at any time.
These kept the vigilance of the veterans and quickly fell down. Except for being sprayed with a layer of filth, he didn't suffer much damage!
However, the power of gunpowder from the world of armor is far beyond the imagination of these people. I wouldn't have thought that the frenzied Wenda Heavenly Master would bury many bombs in such a small city-state. Medicine!
As soon as an explosion ended, another explosion sounded, and bricks, tiles, earth and stones flew sideways!
No one thought that the Great Celestial Master of Wen had actually planted hundreds of kilograms of thunder in this place. Tube, enough to raze this place.
At first, the West Indian soldiers thought that the explosions were over, and they were a little glad, but the explosions continued to sound one after another.
Violent tremors came from underground. Even more powerful than the shells of large-caliber artillery!
Even if the soldiers were lying on the ground, they could not escape the results of the internal organs being injured, and black blood flowed from their eyes, ears, mouths and noses.
Such a hellish scene made those guys who were almost mentally aware of it get up and turn around and run. But he was shot by the whistling rubble, and fell to the ground.
Even the screaming wizard thought that what was happening in front of him was hell. Pray and mourn for a miracle.
However, they were soon relieved. Of course, he was not saved to go to heaven, but he went to hell wailing in the midst of a violent explosion!
Even though it is more than ten miles away, this is what happened in New Amsterdam. It still made the faces of those who remained on the ship turn pale.
If it weren't for the fact that the explosion had been concentrated in that little castle and had not spread, they would have almost thought that there had been a volcanic eruption or an earthquake!
Countless people knelt on the deck of the ship, their faces full of tears, and they couldn't stop praying. The scene in front of them was so shocking that they didn't even think that this was something that human beings could do.
After all, the power of black powder in this era is still quite limited. How many explosives do you need to achieve this explosive effect?
It's something they never dared to imagine. What's more, their opponents are only the dirty, natives who can only hunt with wooden and stone tools.
"God, what ...... is this?"
At this moment, someone screamed. Seven or eight small boats rushed at high speed at some point.
These boats are rudimentary, and not much better than canoes. However, under the stroke of a person, it approached at high speed.
Before the beautiful ships could react, the ridiculous natives with tattoos on them and shirtless had already jumped into the sea.
Then, with the residual speed, the boats crashed into these behemoths that were more than thirty meters long. It's like an inconspicuous ant that crashes into an elephant without any effort......
"Boom...... Rumble......"
Several successive sounds rang out from the two warships that had been rammed. The violent explosion even made the huge warship jump up, and then near the deck waterline, tons of seawater were quickly poured into the five or six meters hole.
Then, the two unlucky ships began to sink rapidly. Breaking such a big hole is an absolute nightmare for these Dutch warships of more than thirty meters!
"Puff puff ......"
The sound of dumplings was endless, and these unlucky sailors didn't want to be carried to the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool when the ship sank. You can only take the initiative to jump into this icy water!
The remaining four ships went almost insane, quickly spreading their sails to get out of this demonic place.
But this was not an easy task, and the remaining three small boats rushed towards the remnants of the Dutch warship. Although, there must have been a Dutch warship that fled the battlefield smoothly.
But the other three don't want to be cannon fodder, in this season when the water turns into ice, jumping into the icy sea is looking for death!
Even if you are lucky enough to be able to go ashore, you can imagine what will happen in this barbaric place full of natives.
So these warships panicked like crazy, but fortunately, the firepower of the current warships is insufficient, and many times, the real decisive victory still depends on the ancient broadside battle, so there are enough manpower on these ships.
They frantically used muskets, bows, and spears to stop the approach of the three boats.
However, at this time, a deafening "......" sound made people who were even on the line of life and death involuntarily turn their heads to look.
And then many people were completely broken, God, did you just abandon us?
Why are there so many surprises?
A huge, strange ship no smaller than a Dutch warship. There was a long trail of black smoke behind him, and there was even sparks mixed with it, reminiscent of the sulphur flames of hell.
What's even more terrifying is that this strange ship has no sails, but at a surprising speed, Qishi approaches violently.
Even if it's a nautical or two away, it's enough to keep your hands and feet cold.
"Boom ......"
There was another loud bang, and a small boat was probably ignited by an incoming musket bullet - explosives, or some other reason.
Before it could get close to the warship, it exploded into a cloud of orange-red flames.
However, there was not yet waiting for them to be happy. Another small boat came out of the smoke and fire.
It was because of the distraction that a Dutch warship did not block the approach of the boat.
They could see the natives with red oil paint on their faces, gritting their teeth, and not even jumping off the boat. Directly rowing a small boat and crashing into a big boat.
The last remaining boat was not so lucky, and before it could get closer, the dead soldier of the Feiyun Division who rowed above had already been killed.
However, the entire fleet, which was vast and vaunting, was now almost half missing. Only four lonely boats remained.
Moreover, the strange ship that made a strange scream had also approached. As the distance closes, it is frightening.
"It's an iron ship......"
I don't know who screamed. Many people who had already thought the ship was strange called out, and they panicked and screamed desperately.
The morale of the fleet, which had been extremely low, suddenly collapsed when it saw such a large ship made of iron.
They've had enough accidents today, it must be a nightmare day, they're going to get out!
So as soon as this came, the fleet, whose morale had completely collapsed, began to flee from the wind. (To be continued......) ro
