Release that Witch

445. Chapter 445 Attack

    Just dawn, Qassim came to the dock.

    Unlike the weekdays, the dock side is full of silent people, carrying backpacks and rifles, like a jungle standing in the snow. Despite the large number of people, the order at the scene was very orderly. The soldiers were squatting one on the Stream Ship. It was this posture that made him feel the power of speechlessness.

    Qassim couldn’t help but swallow.

    This is the warrior of His Royal Highness.

    It’s incredible. The old man thought that when he was young, he had spent more than half of Greycastle, from Sea Wind Region to Port of Clear Water. He also led the merchant fleet to the fjord island and witnessed the martial arts Knight’s armor Knight. The fierce man who beats the beast with empty hands. Those people are undoubtedly extremely powerful brave fighters for him, but he did not expect that now in front of a group of ordinary people, they once again feel this powerful, and better than ever.

    Yes, these people are ordinary people…Qassim has been in Border Town for almost four months and has a deeper understanding of small town. He knows that the members of the First Army are basically selected from the local aborigines. Most of them joined the army when they were adulthood. The previous occupations were varied, there were miners, hunters, and workers and masonry, but there were no soldiers. In other words, they did not experience combat training from an early age.

    However, in just a few months, these people already have the momentum that is not inferior to any Knight group. What kind of magic is the prince’s imperial concubine?

    “You…Really going? ”Behind him, Wei Wei’s deliberately low voice was heard. He was also infected by this silent team.

    “Why do I have to apply for the captain?”Qassim take a deep breath.

    “But they are going to fight.”

    “They are all working for their High Court,” the old man said, “and me too.”

    The sound behind me was silent for a moment. “Don’t die outside.”

    He didn’t answer again, but he waved his hand.

……

    With the snow falling, Qassim boarded the sixth Stream Ship. According to tradition, the captain can name his ship. Although this weird ship belongs to His Royal Highness, he is still told that he has this power.

    Only the old man has not made up his mind.

    This is his position as the captain again after he bid farewell to the voyage for more than ten years. He hopes that he can come up with a commemorative name.

    “Boss, you are here!”Entering the cabin of the bow, his deputy immediately greeted him. “Now the boiler is warming up, I promise it will turn quickly.”

    This young man is called Mullet, from the southern region, and has had several years of fishing experience. If he is in other fleets, he may not even be a sailor, but it is not bad here, everyone is a novice.

    “Is the crew all arrived?”

    “It’s long gone, you are the last one,” the other squeezed.

    “If you don’t know how to Esteemed a captain, I will be happy to let you wipe the deck for a whole day.”

    “No, Esteemed’s Mr. Captain,” the young man stood up straight, “I certainly understand! ”

    “It’s like this,” Qassim said with a beard. “Notify the boiler room and let them burn the fire a little more, but don’t close the damn steam valve. I don’t want to hit the butt of the front boat again. !”

    “Well, I know.”In one sentence, Mullet was still in the original shape. He squinted at the old man and then flew out of the cockpit.

    “This kid,” Qassim shook his head with a smile. The serious atmosphere brought by the First Army was diluted a lot, and he seemed to be back to the days of sailing on the sea. Walking to the steering wheel, the old man gently rubbed the wooden qualifying wheel handle and began to sink to review the flow of the Stream Ship.

    The stone boat Breeze invented by His Royal Highness is very different. It has no masts and no cabins under the deck. There are only two rooms in the middle of the bow and the hull. The front is called the cab and can pass through two large The window clearly sees the route situation, the middle is the boiler room, and the power of the ship comes from there.

    The rear and rear of the cab are bare decks. They often bring some miners during the training. They follow the Scarlet Water River westbound and go to the edge of Hidden Forest to dig some coal back. This is more resistant than firewood. Sea Wind Region is also a common heating item. Now, the shelter cloth has been pulled around the deck, and a shed has been set up on the top of the deck, apparently for the boat soldiers.

    Although this new gadget has never been touched before, Qassim quickly found out in training that it is not difficult to make it move, even easier than sailing. It is not necessary to adjust the canvas according to the wind direction Breeze force, which saves a lot of manpower and time – just one villager can burn the boiler, but it doesn’t take half a year to master the climbing of the sail. It is an impossible thing. . As long as the chimney emits white gas, the boat will go off when the valve is closed.

    At this moment, a dull whistle sound came from the front, breaking the tranquility of Border Town in the morning.

    This is the signal for departure.

    “Boss, the water in the stove has been boiling!”Mullet returned to the cab.

    “Looking at the bell, telling the bigfoot and the grizzly to close, speed, go forward one!”Qassim solemnly stated the instructions.

    “Yes, go ahead!”Mullet pulls a slender wire from the wall, along which the corresponding bell in the boiler room trembles to convey the command from the captain.

    The hull slammed abruptly, and the wooden wheels on both sides slowly turned.

    Qassim held the steering wheel and looked straight ahead—when Wei Wei asked the question, he didn’t say the true idea of ​​bottom of heart, or that playing for feudal lord was only a small part of the answer.

    He is more just a matter of “the captain”.

    Whether it’s a sailboat or a steam stream ship, Qassim feels heartfelt when holding the steering wheel and breaking the waves on the water.

    This is the life he wants.

    “Sailing…No, continue to add coal! ”The old man turned to the right and shouted, “The boys are holding on, we have to set off!”

*******************

    “As long as you can send me to Border Town, the Schilt family will have a great reward…Five, no, ten gold royals, “The butler blocked the door of a log cabin next to the river and asked the boatman who was in trouble. His left foot stuck in the door seam, lest the other party directly close the dilapidated door panel and shut themselves out.

    “Big, adults…It’s not that I don’t want to send you, but I can’t really do it,” said the boatman. “You, you see, my boat has a light bottom, not even a snow-blocking shed. Usually used. It’s okay to come to the river, but you can go to Border Town, but it’s been a few days! Not to mention whether I can use the poles to get there, the snow and ice at night, where do we sleep and sleep? You have to say that you are not allowed to freeze into two popsicles all night long? ”

    “Is there any other can go to Border Town’s boatman?”The housekeeper asked unwillingly.

    “Nothing is gone,” the other party waved. “We are just some boats. Only the strongholds in the stronghold can have a big sailing boat. You should go there and find it.”

    If you can enter Longsong Stronghold, why bother to come to the suburbs to find these boatmen who want to fish and ferry?

    The butler stepped on the snow on the ground. Since the Four Great Families began to attack the stronghold, the city gates were all closed. It took half a day to bypass the stronghold, but it was a futile effort to find it.

    Seeing that the sky is going to be dark, how can we complete the task of the master’s account?

    The butler looked at Scarlet Water River with a bitter look, but soon he was in the same place.

    God, what is that?

    He rubbed his eyes and made sure he was right–a very large fleet was heading in his direction, and the boat looked different from the sailing boats he had ever seen, and in the snow, the fleet made a rumbling sound, moving fast along the river, and the gray ship was Fangmingming without sails, but in the wind, the ship’s head cut the water into two segments, As waves as usual.

    The flag of the first ship fluttered in the wind, and the high tower rifle family emblem was vividly displayed. The housekeeper could not help but breathe. This is the fleet of His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon!
