  Chapter 232 232 A sudden shot

To the southwest of Long Island, on a pleasant beach, several sailors tried their best to drag a small boat to a place where the waves could not wash it.

Then the sailors began to pour out the seawater from their boots and try to clean the sand off their bodies.

“It’s really nice here.” An officer in the lead patted the sea sand on his body, looked at the surrounding scenery, and praised it full of praise: “It is my honor to open up territory for His Majesty the King.”

 “When will the follow-up troops be able to go ashore?” After finishing speaking, he looked at the men beside him and asked.

"Sir, the troops will be able to land soon, and all the remaining sailors and workers will be ashore before dinner today." the adjutant of the same ship replied.

Not far behind him, soldiers with loaded guns jumped out one after another from another small boat.

A brown flag was unfurled, hung on the flagpole, and then erected on the beach. This flag fluttered in the sea breeze, and the golden steering wheel pattern on it was very eye-catching.

 “This belongs to the Kingdom of Talen! Long live!” When he saw his country’s flag fluttering in the wind on the island, the leading officer cheered.

 “Long live!” Everyone who landed cheered together. They came here through hardships just for such a glorious moment.

"Arrange the camp! Send out a reconnaissance team...wait, what...is that over there?" Just as everyone was excited about taking control of the new island, the leading officer saw vague black smoke billowing over the distant mountain peaks.

"It could be a volcano." The adjutant pressed the long sword on his waist and said to his commander: "It should be an active volcano."

"Maybe." The leading naval commander of the Talon Kingdom also pressed the long sword on his waist and looked at the black smoke with his chin raised.

 The adjutant thought for a while and gave a new explanation: "Maybe the forest is burning, it might be a lightning strike or something."

“Send out the reconnaissance team! Let them go to the side of the black smoke to see what is burning...” the commander of the Talon Kingdom ordered again.

 “Yes!” The adjutant nodded, preparing to find a group of soldiers and let them go to the depths of the island to take a closer look.

 Then, they saw a man in the jungle parting the bushes and walking towards them who were landing.

"What's going on? How can there be anyone here?" Commander Hausen, who thought he was the first to land on this uninhabited island and expand territory for his motherland, exclaimed in disbelief.

His adjutant was also surprised because this island, which has not yet been named by the Kingdom of Talon, must have been discovered by several major maritime powers recently.

 It seems that he is not a Zheng person with black eyes and black hair, nor is he an elf from the Poplar Kingdom. So where does the man in front of me come from?

“Who are you?” Without any weapons, the leader of a patrol team walked straight to the front of the crowd on the beach and asked.

"We are the pioneers of the Kingdom of Talen, and this is the territory of our country! Why are you here?" Haosen was ready to overwhelm the other party with momentum and let the other party admit that this is the territory of the Kingdom of Talen first.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Commander! When we were building the city here, there was no one here." Datang Group's Jaeger Captain proudly retorted: "How come this place has become your territory? "

"I'm sorry, our Tarun Kingdom discovered this place first, so according to convention, this is already our territory." A fierce smile appeared on Haosen's face: "Since you have built a town here, then I Announce...I am your mayor! Now, take me to your town."

"I think you'd better think about it carefully, because this can easily cause disputes." The hunter captain said sternly, staring into the opponent's eyes and said: "Get out of here, or you will regret for the rest of your life for invading Datang Group's territory. "

"Wow!" A group of soldiers holding Cyric muskets pointed their muzzles at the leader of the Chasseurs. The smile on the leader's commander Haosen's face became even crueler: "I think you haven't figured out the situation yet! I declare that this is the territory of the Tarun Kingdom, and this is already the territory of the Tarun Kingdom! You'd better lead me honestly, and if I'm in a good mood, I might reward you with a gold coin!"

"You still don't understand the situation! If you dare to shoot me, I guarantee that you will die much worse than me. Get out of here, because this is the territory of Datang Group!" the Jaeger Captain counterattacked without giving in. .

"Hahahaha!" Haosen pulled out the Cyric flintlock pistol from his waist, removed the flintlock device, and pointed the gun at the Chasseur Captain: "I think you didn't understand the situation! Idiot! "

"Bang!" He pulled the trigger, and a bullet directly penetrated the head of the Chasseur Captain. The body fell straight to the ground, and the blood dyed the beach red.

"It seems that this is no longer an unclaimed land... Someone has built a town here. This is much more interesting than I thought." Haosen walked into the crowd and said to his adjutant: "Listen to the other party. It is said that what is being built here is not a certain country, but some kind of Datang Group... Since it is not a country, then we can stand legally. "

"Gather the troops immediately and go through the mountains and forests in the middle. We will try to do it in the afternoon..." He pointed to the bushes over there, preparing for the troops to raid the village and catch the opponent by surprise. As a result, before he could finish his words, a gunshot echoed in the sky. A soldier was caught off guard and fell. His body was only a few steps away from Hausen.

"Damn! They still have people! Find the enemy! Quick!" Haosen shouted loudly while using the landing boat as a cover to hide.

After the gunshots dispersed, everything returned to silence, leaving only the sound of the waves and a group of soldiers squatting on the beach and observing everywhere.

"Let the troops go to the bushes to check carefully! If you encounter anyone, shoot to death!" Haosen waved his hand and shouted to the adjutant: "If the other party escapes, then set off as a team immediately! They will go back to report the news, and wait for those **** to show up. If you are prepared, it will not be easy to deal with!”

"Also! Let the warships search along the coastline! If the opponent has a town, it must be on the seaside! There should be a dock! Find it and blockade it!"

"Yes!" the adjutant agreed immediately, and then, a group of soldiers in brown uniforms rushed into the bushes with shouts, looking for the enemy inside.

Soon, seven or eight sail warships set sail and moved slowly towards the distance.

At the same time, deep in the jungle, two soldiers shed tears while pushing aside the branches around them and running wildly in the direction they came from.

They need to return to the warning station in the middle of the island, and then use the radio station installed there to send back the news of someone breaking into Dragon Island back to Dragon City.

“We must avenge the captain!” The man carrying two rifles shouted through gritted teeth: “I will kill them all!”

"If I didn't have to go back to deliver the message, I would have fired all my bullets here! Bastard!" Another soldier shouted without looking back while running.

There was no other way. The captain left the two of them behind and the order he gave them was to be vigilant. If the other party has evil intentions, they must return to the outpost and send the news back to Dragon City.

The two of them ran quickly until noon, when they arrived at the outpost set up in the middle of the island.

One of the two men immediately got on the bicycle generator in the room and began to pedal the generator vigorously to generate electricity for the telegraph equipment.

 The other person was obviously trained. He immediately opened the code book on the table and sent a telegram back to Longcheng based on the text on it.

 A few minutes later, at the anchorage outside Longcheng Port, faint black smoke began to float from the chimney of an ironclad ship. Another warship that had been performing patrol missions on the sea rushed directly to the sea level.

Tiger, the commander-in-chief of the Long Island garrison who was training troops on the island, immediately issued an order to assemble the troops after seeing the message.

 An infantry regiment of the Long Island defenders, including artillery, totaling more than 1,900 people, entered the defensive position outside Long City and stood by.

"We must leave a warship to protect the port! Otherwise, if we miss the opponent's fleet, our warships will not be able to come back in time to protect the port, wharf and dock." After deploying the defense mission, Tiger immediately rushed there At the city hall, I saw Roger with a solemn face.

Then, he told Roger, the person in charge of the island, his thoughts: "The troops cannot attack immediately. We don't know which direction the opponent is approaching from. If we miss the enemy, Dragon City will be very dangerous."

"We can only wait for them to attack first, and then bite the opponent to annihilate them." Tiger said: "I heard that a captain died."

"I heard it too! The other party must pay for this!" Roger gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said to Tiger: "I have already sent a telegram back to Bunas, and I believe reinforcements will arrive soon. "

 “Reinforcement?” Tiger didn’t think that his troops could defend Dragon City.

"Yes, reinforcements! Two Bunas-class battleships will rush here immediately. This is what Bunas said in the call back." Roger said to Tiger: "Moreover, the call back ordered to enter a state of war. , enabling the first set of wartime communication codes.”

"Understood! I'll go back to the headquarters right now! Protect the factories around Dragon City first, and then find a way to find the main force of the enemy who landed!" Tiger nodded and took the first set of communications handed to him by Roger. He turned around and left.

 About an hour later, the iron-clad battleship, emitting billowing black smoke, disappeared on the sea level. The other sister ship, which had been fully activated, took over its mission and began to cruise outside the port.
