Chapter seventy-one, pirate farm
There are large areas of thatch growing here, but these thatch are much smaller than that in the wilderness forest area. When people walk up, they can reach their knees at most.
Hum? Where is the matter?
When Cheng Kong was curiously looking at the surrounding scenery, a thick smoke rose into the sky in the distance. Because the distance was too far, even Murong Xue's eyes could not see clearly, as if some buildings were burning.
"Let's go and see, what's going on?"
Cheng Kong originally wanted to go wherever he went. There was no clear destination. After all, in this strange and mysterious world, the place where he looked was deserted and he didn't know the specific place name.
Without a map, it is unlikely to have a clear destination.
After shored the raft, Murong Xue rushed over first. Cheng Kong's speed was much slower than Murong Xue. He had to carry an iron halberd and chase him with a bearded man.
Murong Xue was light in shape, carrying a crossbow on her back, running through the grass, as if she was exercising her light skills. Her legs were gently tapping over the tip of the thatch, and the thatch was just gently pressing down, which made Cheng Kong behind her envious.
Before Cheng Kong had arrived halfway, Murong Xue rushed back without any sweat on her forehead.
"There is a farm in front of you who is being attacked by a group of pirates. Let's go and rescue it."
Before Cheng Kong could speak, Murong Xue told the situation like a machine gun, but she had the righteous demeanor of Little Chili.
"Chief! The farm is a wild building. It captures the farm and can recruit seven farmers or obtain two hundred gold coins every week."
Hearing Murong Xue's words, the bearded man stood up first and explained it like an encyclopedia.
Seven farmers? Two hundred gold coins?
As soon as he heard the bearded man's explanation, Cheng Kong's eyes lit up a little.
If he had just entered this mysterious alien world, Cheng Kong might not be too interested in what the bearded man said, but after a few years of birth and death, he deeply understood what it means to be a wild building that can produce seven farmers or two hundred gold coins a week.
If we use the words of ancient Chinese strategists, this is the foundation of the emperor.
Of course, it is indeed a bit too much to describe a farm as an emperor's foundation. If you don't think this will be your starting point.
A farm that continuously produces farmers and gold coins, well, should be considered a city, of course it is just an extremely simple city. At least that's what Cheng Kong thinks now.
"Set off!"
As for what the pirate is, Cheng Kong has also watched the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. In his impression, it should be a waste of time to get ashore. Otherwise, how could Uncle Jack be almost hanged?
After a sudden rush, the farm with smoke columns finally appeared within Cheng Kong's sight.
Simply put, the farm is about the same size as the village in reality, surrounded by large areas of cultivated farmland. A breeze blows, and the golden wheat ears form layers of wheat waves, making a magnificent harvest scene.
But this harvest scene was completely destroyed by the thick smoke of flames burning everywhere.
Outside the farm, groups of pirates held scimitars and attacked the farm, while the farmers blocked the entrance of the farm and resisted tenaciously.
Behind a large group of pirates, a one-eyed pirate wearing a pirate captain's costume and a boat hat on his head raised the scimitar in his hand and waved it downwards. An iron cannon beside him suddenly opened fire. A round shell drew an arc and hit a house in the farm. The house collapsed halfway. The huge roar and the sound of the house collapsed, scaring the farmers' legs to become weak. Several farmers even threw down their feces forks and turned around to escape.
Seeing this scene, the one-eyed pirate was in a very happy mood and laughed: "Storm in, the woman stays, and the rest of the farmers are killed! We will live here tonight."
Inspired by the one-eyed dragon pirate, many pirates screamed and rushed into the entrance of the farm regardless of casualties. The dozens of farmers blocked the entrance of the farm could no longer resist and were killed on the ground by scimitars. In the blink of an eye, the farm was about to be broken.
At this moment, two crossbow arrows shot from a distance. The one-eyed dragon pirate swung the scimitar at the crossbow arrow, and with a clang, he shot a crossbow arrow to the ground, but the second crossbow arrow hit the throat of the one-eyed dragon pirate with extremely accurate accuracy.
A ball of blood splattered, and the one-eyed pirate fell to the ground immediately. The pirates guarding the iron cannon quickly turned their guns and shot them in the direction of the crossbow arrow.
"Does go!"
Seeing Murong Xueqi winning and killing the pirate captain, Cheng Kong and others suddenly became very powerful and surrounded the pirates. Who would have thought that after those pirate gunners filled with gunpowder shells, they turned around and shot.
Looking at the shells that suddenly dragged out a red light trajectory in the air, Cheng Kong shouted loudly.
However, this gun was a false alarm. Before Cheng Kong and others could dodge, the shell fell to a place more than ten meters away from them, exploded a large pit in the grassland, and a ball of red flame rushed into the air.
Looking at the big pit mixed with charred grass roots, Cheng Kong couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. Although the pirate captain was knocked down by Murong Xue with an arrow, he seemed weak, but the iron cannon operated by the pirate was quite powerful. If he was hit by a shot, let alone the bearded man and other spearmen, even he might not be seriously injured immediately.
From the bearded man, Cheng Kong had already learned that these pirates were just first-level troops, but the attack power of their iron cannons was probably greater than that of the griffons Cheng Kong had seen, and might even be comparable to the fourth-level troops swordsman.
Of course, as for whether this is the case, Cheng Kong is just a guess.
You can't wait for the pirate gunners to fire. This shot may be because the pirate captain was killed, causing the hit rate to decrease, but the shells do not have eyes. Who knows whether the next shot will fall on their heads.
Thinking of this, Cheng Kong turned his head and rushed towards the pirate gunner.
These pirate gunners are still very skillful in filling gunpowder shells. In less than ten seconds, the gunpowder line on the gun door was ignited and burned quickly, and the iron cannon was about to be fired.
Swish, at this critical moment, Murong Xue fired a crossbow arrow again, one crossbow arrow broke the gunpowder line, and the other crossbow arrow penetrated a pirate who operated the iron cannon from his chest, and the splashed blood soaked a large area of the iron cannon.
The gunners were so scared that they were trembling all over under the blow, and turned around and ran away.
