Chapter 67

The submachine docked at the end of the waterway and tied the cable close to the silent Macaw.

The sailors landed in turns, shouted again, and pushed down the lightest four pound cannon from the Macaw.

After guessing the fate of nasbert's team, Lorraine temporarily adjusted his plan.

Before that, no one thought that he would really take risks with guns like a clumsy army.

In theory, it was a stupid decision.

In order to launch farther from the shaking ship and make the parabola more stable, the casting of sea ship artillery has always been larger, better and heavier than land artillery.

Compare it with the six pound gun of the same level. The six pound land cannon often weighs less than a ton and is equipped with a portable gun truck, while the six pound long cannon used in the sea weighs two tons.

Even the lightest and shortest gun barrel on the butterfly, the six pound short gun selected by Lorraine to be installed on the boat, still weighs 1.2 tons.

It is impossible to carry such a huge weight and risk in the rugged sea cave.

However, the Macaw offered Lorraine a different choice.

Its stern gun cabin has six well preserved four pound short guns, with an overall weight of only 0.7 tons.

There is also a convenient transport gun truck in the gun cabin. Although it is a small wheel truck for deck, it still makes it possible to take risks with guns.

There is no shortage of shells corresponding to the caliber. Shrapnel, solid bullets, hammer balls... Iron shells wrapped in dried ointment are stacked next to the artillery, and they are stacked neatly.

The only regret is that the propellant stored in the bilge has deteriorated. Fortunately, Lorraine had six propellants with him. He repacked them according to the caliber of the four pound gun. It didn't take much trouble to divide eight.

Yacharin, who had professional skills, measured the rock wall hardness of the sea cave and determined that the four pound projectile would not collapse the cave wall. In this way, Lorraine's idea was passed and the expedition successfully added a huge reliance.

There are twenty people left in the expedition.

In order to make good use of the gun, Lorraine adjusted four people to be specially responsible for pushing and pulling the gun truck, and two people pushed ammunition to cooperate with acharin to assist in gun operation. They formed a luxury artillery squad of seven people and were placed in the middle of the team.

The rest of the sailors have their own arrangements. Lorraine and Noah are responsible for opening the way with five sailors, and Haina is responsible for guarding the retreat behind the sailor's palace with five sailors.

When the sailors took advantage of the unloading of guns and drugs, they reviewed again and again until they were sure that they had really made full preparations. Lorraine shouted, raised a torch and whispered, "let's go."

……

It's quiet in the cave

The dome did not rise with the rise of the foundation. Under the light of more than a dozen torches, the originally invisible ceiling became clear. It was only three meters high. For Lorraine, it seemed to be within reach.

The width of the cave is also narrowing.

From the beginning, the width of the Guangshui channel was 14.5 meters, and now the width of the two walls is only 56 meters. The expedition can see around itself, and also see fork holes, deep and shallow. Some can barely walk, and some can't even get into the cat.

Lorraine's hand was holding acharin's new stabbing sword.

In this narrow environment, his combat ability is greatly weakened, he can't jump, he has nowhere to hide, and he can't even use the long knife he is good at. His height, arm length and knife length can't be used in this place at all.

The gun... Obviously can't open.

He felt that he had entered a huge ant colony and even began to delusion that the culprit for the group's destruction of the nasbert team was some kind of prehistoric ant, tall and powerful.

Shouldn't it be?

He comforted himself with an uncertain tone in his heart. While comforting himself, he marched more carefully, especially those large or small fork holes, which must be thoroughly explored before he dared to cross with the adventure team.

They walked in fear for half an hour without any danger.

Lorraine raised his hand: "rest in place, the second group is on guard."

At his command, the team stopped and got together. Four sailors left the team. The first two and the second two raised their fires and clenched their knives.

Lorraine opened the water bag and sipped. Noah approached him and asked softly, "Captain, what do you think is the danger?"

"I don't know." Lorraine shook his head. "Inger ananson is my blood ancestor and a Viking in the 9th century. Judging from the size of the long ship and the executed paddle slaves, even if he put the treasure deep in the cave, he didn't have manpower to make a trap enough to run for a thousand years."

"But the explorer's team was destroyed. Is it another riot?"

"Insurrection is not impossible, but at the same time of insurrection, there is almost no possibility that no one will escape. Most of the time, rebellion will always produce winners."

"Beast?"

"If you want to destroy a team of 40 people specializing in exploration, the beasts in the cave either live in groups or are extremely huge. As acharin said, if such beasts take the treasure land as a nest, how can there be gold preserved..." Lorraine smiled bitterly, "Don't forget that nasbert was not an ancient man, only a hundred years earlier than us. But he saw the treasures with his own eyes and almost took them away."

Noah was also confused.

After a long discussion, they couldn't come up with a clue. They were going to ask Haina and acharin if they had any new ideas and sudden changes!

The sailor on guard in front of the line suddenly screamed.

He screamed and fell down, lying flat and sliding to a fork hole not far away. It was like being dragged and grabbed by mysterious forces. There was no power of resistance at all.

Then there was a scream behind the team.

Ina's eyes were quick and her hands were quick. She threw out a throwing knife and shouted, "Lorraine, ankle!"

Ankle!

Lorraine wanted to jump out. In the process of running, the long knife on his waist suddenly came out of its sheath and flew like a steel wheel across the center of the sailor and the fork hole.

Poof!

The sailor stopped at once.

The sailors on duty with him ran up and dragged the frightened teammates back to the brigade. Lorraine picked up the torch falling on the ground and flew out in the direction of the fork hole.

The torch lit up the scene in the distance.

The attacker was a huge lizard, three meters long, with a triangular ferocious head, black and brown all over and rough skin. Its body is covered with bumps. It looks like scales, but there are no scales.

It swayed its thick tail and slowly drilled a fork hole. The big eyes of the copper bell stared at Lorraine, and its sharp claws pricked a slip of sparks on the rock.

"Komodo... Giant lizard?"

Lorraine raised his sword warily.

He saw more giant lizards stepping into the fire. There were five in front of the team, from the dome, from the rock wall, from the fork Cave... He also heard the sailors shouting behind the hall. Four had been found behind the team.

"Acharin, the hole path is too small. Don't shoot..." he whispered in a voice that could barely reach acharin's ear, "Noah, fight for quick battle."

Before the words fell, Lorraine rushed out, took a big step and stood in front of the giant lizard whose tongue was cut off, stabbing the sword in his hand like lightning and flint into those eyes.

The giant lizard is no slower than him!

At the moment when Lorraine started, five giant lizards started at the same time. They jumped to Lorraine with a rapid leap that was completely inconsistent with their length, waved their claws in front, shook their tails left and right, climbed upside down on the dome, and popped up their long tongue at Lorraine, like a stabbing sword, straight at Lorraine's throat!

But Lorraine was happy!

He stabbed a sharp sword at the target with a bow step. His spare left hand pulled out a long knife and stood against the back of the knife.

Noah shot her silver Tarot like a flower, and more than ten of them flew past Lorraine, directly cutting off the long tongue on Lorraine's head, jingling to offset a sweep.

Acharin fired the gun with a bang. The smoke was swirling. The red lead bullet hit the body of a giant lizard and blew it out half a meter.

A giant lizard hit Lorraine's long knife with its claws.

Only heard a Ding, Lorraine groaned, stabbed the sword in his hand almost at the same time, pierced the eye of the target, and broke the skull!

The target's claw stopped at a position less than 20 cm from Lorraine's side and fell to the ground soft and powerless.

Lorraine jerked out his sword, turned sideways, held the long knife upside down, and slashed to the second target in front of him.

"Kill!"
