Iron Powder and Spellcasters: Chapter 81 escape

   Chapter 81 Escape

   As if the flames were rekindled in the extinguished hearth, Winters felt a little more conscious.

   He could vaguely feel himself being dragged along, as well as floating, waves and cries for help.

   With another pair of hands, the two supported Winters and dragged him from the waist-deep water to the rocky beach.

   A man quickly cleared Winters of water from his nose and throat, slapped him **** the back, and then began to press on his chest again.

  The seawater remaining in the trachea is drained. Fortunately, shortly after he drowned, the breathing instinct was still there, and the air re-entered his lungs, through the alveoli, capillaries, and arteries, and was pushed to the organs of the whole body in a weak heartbeat.

  The brain was supplied with oxygen again, and Winters' mind rekindled like a nearly extinguished flame, resumed its operation, and regained consciousness.

   After laboriously opening his eyes and seeing the light again, he saw a familiar and unexpected face in front of him, a face with open teeth: "...Gold, is that you?"

   Without waiting for the two of them to greet each other, a shout came from a distance: "Here!"

   What followed was a series of gunshots, screams and screams.

   "Tani is here!" Someone nearby shouted in horror: "Tani is here! Go!"

  Winters struggled to get up from the ground, he told himself he had to calm down. The situation didn't allow him to think too much, and he needed to figure out the situation quickly.

  I took a quick look around and found that there was a sandy beach under my feet, and twenty meters ahead was the dividing line between the woods and the rocky beach. Looking to the right, the bastion, the wharf—the Red Sulphur Port. Look behind you, on the water.

   He understood, the boat was overturned by the tide, and Gold rescued him ashore. Based on his relative position, he should now be on the coast west of Red Sulphur Harbor.

  The sound of gunshots and shouts of killing came from the right front, which means that the people who cleared the remnants came from the Red Sulphur Port!

   Winters grabbed Gold's arm: "Into the woods!"

   He stood up and shouted at the others on the beach: "Into the woods! Into the woods."

   Staying on the rocky beach is a living target, and we must first find a way to get rid of this wave of pursuers.

  Winters stumbled to the hardwoods by the coast: "Follow me! Follow me everyone! Into the woods!"

In addition to Winters and Gold, there were more than two dozen soldiers and sailors who survived on the rocky beach. The command system had been destroyed, but the bewildered Veneta subconsciously obeyed the "officer's uniform". Order.

   Regardless of whether they were sailors or soldiers, all the Veneta retreated towards the woods.

   A voice with a strong Tanirian accent came from a distance on the right: "Don't let them run away! Take five vinnets per captive!"

   The screams that did not resemble human voices came from the same direction: "Help! Help me!"

   Winters fled into the line of trees, the resilient branches slapped him like whipping, but he gritted his teeth and fled deeper.

   As soon as you enter the woodland, the view is blocked by vegetation. I couldn't see each other's positions clearly, and I could only hear rustling sounds everywhere in the woods, and gunshots and wailing from time to time.

  No Veneta dared to stop to identify the enemy or foe. They lost their command and direction, and just ran for their lives.

"Where to run? The red sulfur port is on the northeast side. The chasing troops start from the red sulfur port and search from the north to the south. There is no enemy on the south side." Winters, who had figured out this point, stopped and used the expansion Yinshu shouted in Veneta dialect: "[Veneta dialect] Go south! Go south! Go to the left!"

   Before he could run south, a sudden force came from his waist, and Winters was knocked down by the middle.

   An excited voice shouted: "Here! Here! I caught an official!"

  The two were rolling in the quagmire in the forest. The Tanirians tried to use all their strength to press Winters to the ground. Winters struggled to fight back and tried to get up.

   This is a battle without honor or etiquette, one side is driven by bounty and greed, and the other side fights for life.

  The Tanirian was not as strong as Winters, but he held on to Winters from behind, no matter how hard he got beaten, he just kept shouting: "Here!"

  The body structure determines that the backward strength of a person's hands and feet is far inferior to the forward strength, and being hugged from behind, even if Winters has more strength, he will not be able to use it.

   Whether it was throwing a fist or elbowing behind him, he couldn't help, and the shouting of the Tanirians was attracting more chasing soldiers.

   Winters suddenly realized that this was not a game, there were no rules. Instead of waving his fists in vain, he groped along the other's arm to find the other's fingers.

found it! The other party's fingers were tightly clasped on Winters' waist, and Winters inserted his own hand from the gap between the other party's fingers and his own clothes, firmly grasped the Tanirian's two fingers, and used his whole body. Force to break back.

After    two crisp sounds, the Tanirians let go of their hands with a scream. After regaining his freedom, Winters reflexively pinned the Tanirians under him, choking the other's neck with both hands.

   But the Tanirians did not lose the ability to resist quickly, he struggled desperately, and a low voice came out of his throat intermittently. His right hand pulled out a stone from the ground and smashed it hard at Winters.

   Winters only felt a sharp pain in his head, then a numbness, and he let go of the hands that were gripping the other's throat.

   The Tanirian, who was finally able to breathe again, groaned and took a deep breath.

   However, before he could spit out the breath, a rock about the size of his head smashed **** his head.

   Accompanied by a terrifying cracking sound, the Tanirians twitched and stopped moving.

   Winters still didn't let go of the stone with both hands. He used his waist to lift the stone to the back of his head again, and smashed it down with a round.

   Once, twice, three times.

   The other party was already dead, and the exhausted Winters let go of his hands and stood up panting.

  This small quagmire in the forest seems to have just undergone a **** sacrifice, with red and white splashes everywhere.

   "Help! Help!"

The    cry for help is a Veneta accent.

   took off the short knife worn by the corpse of the Tanilian, and Winters crawled out of the quagmire with his hands and feet, heading towards the source of the sound.

  —cut—

   The situation of Lieutenant Colonel Contére is now at stake.

   A dozen Veneta fled all the way to the south until they were stopped by the low cliff in front of them. The ground in front was abruptly raised by two or three meters, and the cliff walls were all limestone and there was no place to grab a hand.

  The huge waves from the northeast overturned the boats of the Veneta people, and almost everywhere on the beach on the west coast of the bay, the Veneta people were washed ashore, some alive and some dead.

Lieutenant Colonel   Contaire was one of those who washed ashore alive.

   He immediately gathered the other living Veneta soldiers around him, and led the squad of remnants to escape into the forest in the interior of the island.

   "Lieutenant Colonel, you can't run anymore. If you run again, you will lose your heart. Let's go back and fight with them while we still have strength." Andre found Lieutenant Colonel Conter with a wooden stick.

   Warrant Lieutenant Andrea Cellini, who was leading several soldiers, reunited with Lieutenant Colonel Conter and his team on the way to escape.

   "We don't even have any weapons, so reckless fighting is a dead end." Contaire put his hands on his knees and gasped, "Go to the southwest to the coast. Find a way to go to sea and return to the fleet, and there is still a way to survive."

   Including the two officers, there was not even a single iron guy in the team of fourteen. Those who refused to throw away their armor and weapons drowned in the sea, and they fled for their lives because they were carrying too many things.

  The soldiers wanted to throw away everything they could, but Andrei picked up a thick branch from the woods as a stick.

   "Let's rest for a while in this clearing, and then we'll walk west along this cliff to find a gap to go up." Lieutenant Colonel Contaire, who was sweating profusely, was obviously unable to run, and senior officers had no physical strength on horseback all year round.

   Hearing the lieutenant colonel's order to temporarily rest here, the soldiers all sat down on the ground, running all the way through the woods, exhausting them.

   "Don't sit! Stand up! Sit down for a while and you won't be able to run anymore." Andrei, carrying a wooden stick, walked among the soldiers and ordered the soldiers not to sit: "Stand up, all stand up."

   How can weary soldiers manage so much, the authority of an officer means nothing to them now. The soldiers just sat on the ground with their heads bowed, not answering or obeying orders.

  Andre gritted his teeth in anger, but he didn't dare to force the soldiers at this moment.

  The sound of branches bouncing came from the woods, the sound approached quickly, and a figure ran out of the dense forest and broke into this small clearing.

   Not wearing a Veneta uniform, he's a Tanirian!

  The Veneta soldiers didn't expect the chase would be so fast, and this Tanirian didn't expect to bump into so many Veneta.

   The two sides stared at each other for a second.

   "Kill him!" Andrei picked up a stick and rushed over.

   At the same time, the Tanirians turned back into the jungle, running and shouting: "They are here!"

   The skinny Tanirian was agile like a monkey, and ran away in a flash. Andre chased two steps, and when he saw that he couldn't catch up with the other party, he stopped helplessly.

   "Go, go!" Andre urged loudly, dragging the soldiers from the ground one by one.

   However, as he warned, it’s okay to not rest after strenuous exercise severely exhausts your physical strength. Once you sit down and rest, your body will be completely boring.

The    soldiers staggered to their feet and walked slowly, and now they couldn't run even if they knew the pursuers were behind them.

   Take a little more rest, a little while, even just a little more rest. Demon voices whispered in the soldiers' minds.

   "I can't run anymore, I'd rather die than run! Let them kill me!" A soldier simply sat back on the ground, falling into despair and self-defeating emotions.

  Andre couldn't hold back his anger anymore, he raised his stick and roared: "I'll kill you now!"

   The soldier who sat back on the ground was so frightened that he rolled and stood up.

   But it was too late, the Tanirians had caught up with them.

   About a dozen Tanirians from the jungle surrounded the remnants of the squad led by Contaire and Andre.

The   The Veneta had an advantage in numbers, but they had no weapons, not even a single stone.

   Although the Tanirians carried sailor knives and short spears, they were outnumbered, so they did not dare to strike first.

   The two sides faced each other like this, and the Tanirians compressed the Veneta people step by step into a small space on the edge of the low cliff, until the Veneta people who were backed by the low cliff had no way to retreat.

The fuse for the    fight was two Tanirians who ran over from the woods with arquebuses.

   When he saw two enemies with long-range weapons running over, Andrei realized that he couldn't delay any longer, he should have started when the Tanirians first appeared.

   "Follow me! Kill!" Warrant Officer Andrea Cellini shouted, waving a wooden stick and rushed towards the tallest Tanirian.

The Tanirians who surrounded them did not expect that these trapped beasts would dare to fight back. When they saw an officer who was waving a wooden stick rushing over, the strong Tanirian man facing him was startled and stood on the spot. Block with a machete.

   Years of swordsmanship training made Andre instinctively use the wooden stick in his hand as a long sword. The other party's nostrils, mouth and eyes suddenly gushed blood, and his body collapsed on the ground.

   In the blink of an eye, Andrei let go of this strong Tanirian man.

  The Tanirians were shocked by the bravery of the officer, while the Venetas, inspired by his bravery, charged at the enemy with the stone in their hands shouting.

   However, the bad situation made Andre more and more desperate, and seven or eight Tanirians gathered after hearing the sound. He saw more and more Tanirians in this small open space.

   "Come! Come and kill me!" The desperate young warrant officer roared to find another opponent, but the Tanirians couldn't avoid him, and a small vacuum appeared in the chaotic battlefield.

   "Boom", a dull gunshot sounded.

  Andre closed his eyes, but he found that there was no special pain in himself, and immediately opened his eyes again.

   Beneath the low cliff, Lieutenant Colonel Conter fell to the ground clutching his stomach.

  A Tanirian with the appearance of a leader came to the edge of the clearing, and he immediately noticed the conspicuous officer on the battlefield. Under his continuous shouting orders, several Tanirians armed with spears surrounded Andrei.

  If stones were easy to use, humans would not use iron weapons to kill each other.

   Unarmed, stone-only Veneta soldiers were brought down one by one. Seeing this scene, Andre roared in desperation. He grabbed the spear that stabbed at him, and smashed the wooden stick in his hand and the spearman's head together.

   The other spearmen were afraid to approach him for fear, but two arquebusiers at the edge of the clearing had already aimed at him.

   "Does this Veneta look less than twenty years old?" The leader who led the group of Tanirians looked at the young officers on the battlefield and thought: "It's a warrior, but unfortunately he's a Veneta."

   In the next second, he only felt a heat flow in the back of his head, and his consciousness was annihilated.

   The captain beside him fell to the ground with a thud, and the musketeer next to him was at a loss, and hurriedly crouched down to try to wake the captain, but the captain was dead.

   There was another voice in the jungle, and the musketeer followed the voice, his legs became weak in an instant, and he could hardly even squat.

   A man in a Veneta military uniform walked out of the dense forest. The uniform seemed to have been washed with mud slurry. The mud was full of blood, and the traces left by some white liquids after solidification were more obvious.

   Before the musketeer could call for help, the person who came raised his hand, and the gunpowder pot by the musketeer's waist exploded instantly, and the powerful impact blew the musketeer into two pieces.

  The other musketeer didn't understand what was going on, and the gunpowder pot at his waist suddenly exploded, leaving a huge gap in his abdominal cavity, as if half of his stomach was bitten by a giant beast.

   The fighting in the battlefield was interrupted by these two loud noises, and both the Tanirians and Veneta looked blankly at the edge of the woodland.

   A **** Veneta officer rushed into the field, slashing the Tanirians like a storm. Every time he raised his left hand, a Tanilian fell convulsively.

  Six or seven men with machetes followed him into the battlefield, and another Veneta officer with a bow and arrow was guarding the edge of the forest.

   "The centurion is here! The reinforcements are here!" Andrei laughed wildly and shouted: "Kill them all! Don't let any of them go!"

   In addition, you can try it. The backward force of the human limbs is really small, and it is difficult to exert force.

   So in mixed martial arts, if you get your back, you will basically lose.
