Chapter 205 Interweaving

Load the musket, pour in the gunpowder, fill it with paper shells wrapped with shotshell particles, and use an iron rod to complete the loading process.

Aim, pull the trigger, and under the action of the spring, the fire will fall heavily on the fire door, and the fire will flash out.

Ignite the crystal ore and mix the oxidant to create gunpowder. Under the catalysis, a large amount of hydrogen is quickly released, and the combustion... No, it was an explosion in a closed space.

The unburned crystal ore gunpowder particles came out of the barrel together with the shotgun, forming a short flower in front of the muzzle that lasted for a few seconds and suddenly bloomed, mixed with some blue flames and red lotus.

The rain of death appeared together with the red lotus. The irregular lead mass was pushed forward by the high temperature and pressure in the chamber with a loud sound, and left the gun chamber together with the burning cardboard case.

It turned into broken paper shells, dyed with a faint red light, falling in the air, and turned into ashes when it hit the ground.

"Reload, hurry up, those things are approaching again."

In a relatively large house, a row of thirty musketeers and nineteen captured adventurers were crowded inside, and the shooters took turns taking the muskets.

The platoon leader shouted in a hoarse voice amidst the sound of muskets. He handed the smoky musket to the others behind him while struggling to move his sore shoulders.

The sound of rays flying through the air outside the window, mixed with their own neighing sounds, was extremely uncomfortable to hear.

The person near the window is firing, the person far away from the window is loading, and the loaded gun is handed over to the person at the window to fire. The division of labor and cooperation are clear.

Two windows, four shooters, and twenty-six people were replacing the four shooters with cleaned muskets and reloading the muskets.

When their shoulders really can't bear it, a new soldier will replace one of them.

Even though the small room was filled with white mist and their shoulders didn't feel much, they still didn't stop firing. The fast-moving rays outside the window were only due to their continuous firing. The momentum was still there. With the sound of gunfire comes death. No one dares to go near these houses that make noise.

The effect of shotguns is remarkable. The barrage they fire is extremely effective in killing the flying rays outside. The bone blades of the floating rays have limited damage to thick wooden buildings.

The house they are stationed in is not a house built by the system.

Instead, these adventurer teams built temporary collective shelters.

It is larger than the house provided by the system, but it seems a bit cramped after accommodating nearly fifty of them. The shooters obviously did not forget these prisoners, and remembered that they were the key protection targets that Ji Lin had ordered.

All the equipment was gone, and the adventurers huddled in the corner in a panic. Even the brave man shrank his hands and feet when the sound of hissing came from outside the house.

Just because they were prepared to die before setting off does not mean that they will not feel fear when facing death.

A swarm of floating rays is an extremely terrifying disaster. A single floating ray is not considered powerful. They can be easily shot down with a single hit from a crossbow.

But the bad thing is that they always appear in groups, ranging from dozens to hundreds. Floating rays can quickly move between different islands by riding the wind. Because of the existence of small aerial predators, aerostats are built to be bulky and thick, making these small aerial predators lose their appetite and interest in it.

Entering the hunting posture, they will open themselves up enough to cut through ordinary armor and bone blades. When attacking prey, they will neigh like this. When they target the target, it is difficult to even leave a whole corpse behind. Down.

A small team of adventurers like them are currently nesting in stable houses, waiting for these half-human-sized terrifying creatures to leave. They will leave on their own after a while of searching for food.

These hunting-based creatures do not stay in one place for too long. They are more accustomed to clinging to the vines on the cliffs of empty islands when they rest.

Now these adventurers finally fully experienced the power of the weapons in the hands of these gray soldiers. They pulled the trigger like a crossbow, and there was a burst of sound, and then they could vaguely see through the white mist outside the window, and the floating ray fell to the ground. superior.

In the distance, as if in response to these shooters, there was a continuous sound of gunshots.

But the screams and explosions did not make them feel at ease. The thought of such a weapon being used on them made people panic.

"놖, 놖 want to go home..."

The tightly tied Miss Mage sobbed softly. Although the other women in the team did not speak, their expressions revealed that they were in panic.

Her voice made the adventurer team feel depressed. This world is too dangerous, and those who want to explore it will pay the price with their lives.

The soldiers raised their guns and opened fire on the floating rays that were attacking them outside. The adventurers were communicating in low voices.

The flying ray seemed to be dancing with a sword. Even though the soldiers responded very quickly, the shoulders and arms of the three soldiers were cut open, and their blood was like a fountain.

Falling to the ground and bleeding blue, the floating ray was quickly penetrated by thorns and was completely nailed to the ground and no longer struggled.

"We have to gain their trust before..."

At least he brought himself out and brought back this group of explorers. These people, his small family, made a comeback. These were the people he hired with money.

Hackett thought about this, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly to the soldiers in front of him:

"놖땣Help you, these female mages beside 놖have learned healing techniques to stop bleeding, and 놖껩 has studied medicine for a while."

Although the male wizard and the bard knew some first aid and healing skills, Hackett thought it would be better to let the weaker women make the proposal, so that his proposal would be more easily passed.

The people wearing different clothes from the soldiers looked at each other, and their eyes swept through the captives with a cold look, as if they wanted to cut them open and analyze them, and have a quick and brief communication.

"The soldiers need a tourniquet... No first aid kit was brought out..."

"Tie them with cotton strips... and cut a few pieces of cloth from their clothes..."

"There is a risk of infection... It is important to save lives... It will take time to recall and arrive... Massive blood loss... Risk of death..."

"If the spell is effective... Report to the lord..."

"Let the four of them out."

The three people confirmed and agreed.

"Agree"

"Agree"

A non-commissioned officer pulled out the dagger from his waist. Each musketeer had a special dagger in addition to the stabbing. This was an additional equipment that Ji Lin gave them according to the standard configuration of modern soldiers. A dagger didn't cost much. But he started to open cans, cut wood, cut meat and other tasks.

Using the tip of the dagger, he completely untied the knots that bound them, and threw the cotton rope to the officer behind him to help bandage the injured soldiers.

Hackett loosened his numb hands, and several female mages behind him stood up from the ground tremblingly, moving closer to the wounded under the cold eyes of the officers.

These people needed to tie themselves with cotton bandages to bandage the injured soldiers, rather than trusting them.
