With a loud whistle, a group of jungle rangers appeared on the beach.
"Someone wants to use this place as a breakthrough to attack our large army from behind. Catch them quickly!" Joshua saw the reinforcements coming and quickly pointed them out.
"No, they are outnumbered, let's retreat quickly!" The fish-men, water ghosts and surface raiders shouted, and they quickly left the shadow troops and green field archers on the shore and plunged into the water to escape.
But before they could swim, they felt their bodies were entangled with something.
"Hey, it's not that easy to run away!" It turned out that the Craigie Dryad became bolder when he saw so many helpers appearing. It extended its tentacles, two branches, into the water and directly killed the two
A fish-man was entangled. With a "swish" sound, the two fish-men were thrown to the shore.
"I advise you to surrender as soon as possible!" Joshua walked out from behind the tree demon at this time, "You are already surrounded by us!"
Faced with the layers of siege by the Jungle Rangers, the shadow assassins and archers of the White Dragon Knights on the shore could only lay down their weapons to express surrender.
"You guys arrived just in time!" Joshua said with a smile, "Take them all back and report to Uncle Haig that the Imperial Knights are preparing to launch a sneak attack from behind here in Green Mud Shoal!"
The Jungle Rangers did not speak, but one of their leaders made a clear gesture to Joshua, calling on his men to take the prisoners away.
"Hey, I just heard them say that the demolition force of the White Dragon Knights will be arriving soon, and I suddenly thought of a good idea!" Joshua said to himself.
"Demolition troops? Are they the kind of people who like to use explosives to blow up houses?" Craigie Dryad asked.
"Actually, I'm not sure, but it sounds very powerful." Joshua gave an answer that made everyone present feel helpless.
"We tree demons are most afraid of fire. It's better for me not to get involved with dangerous things like explosives!" Craigie tree demon said and left quickly.
"Hey, slow down..." Joshua wanted to call the tree demon, but the tree demon ignored him.
"Hmph, this guy is really not interesting." Joshua glared into the distance, and then said to the remaining Jungle Rangers, "The rest of us put on the clothes of these spies, and we will find a way to sneak in directly.
Get on that blasting ship."
Joshua and the others put the weapons and equipment removed from the Shadow Assassins and Green Field Archers onto themselves. In particular, Joshua had some pieces of wood cut off and stuffed into his boots to make himself taller.
Then they got on the small boat that the enemy had originally taken when they came to the green mud shoal, and began rowing toward the sea. After a while, they saw a medium-sized or above warship approaching.
"Elena, do you really think it is necessary for us to send the demolition troops to the green mud shoal in person?" All the generals of the White Dragon Knights appeared in the command room of the warship. Renn felt that this time they
The whole dispatch to transport the demolition troops may have been a bit over the top.
"Once our plan fails, the enemy will quickly guess our strategy and take more precautions. So I feel it is necessary to go into battle personally," Elena said.
"Sir Lance came up with this plan, but he didn't come himself. He just asked Charles to lead us. But he directly followed the large army to Duanmao Port." Renn sneered.
"Humph, Lance is also the kind of man who only pursues the peak of swordsmanship. We don't need to count on him for things like leading troops to fight." Elena said, "We are about to reach our destination. But let's
It would be too ostentatious for a warship to enter the river, so we should use a few small boats to rush behind the enemy and blast them."
"Okay, Lady Elena, I asked my men to go to the deck to see if the people who were sent to spy on the intelligence have returned." Simon responded from the side, "I previously sent fish-men and water ghosts to raid on the surface.
Send troops there and report back as soon as we confirm the situation there."
"Very good, Simon. Our blasting operation this time must be foolproof and nothing can go wrong. Although even if we attack head-on, the Wings of Freedom may not be able to withstand it, but we still hope to minimize the impact of the war.
There will be losses and time spent." Irina warned.
The warship is about to reach the green mud shoal, and the sailors on the deck are always observing the water conditions ahead.
"Hey, guys, look! The people sent by the White Dragon Knights to explore the terrain are back in our boat." A skilled sailor from the Blue Dragon Knights saw Joshua's group who had already dressed up in disguise.
.
"Okay, let's go pick them up quickly." Another sailor said.
In this way, Joshua and the Jungle Rangers successfully boarded the warship, which was loaded with gunpowder and used to transport demolition troops.
"You guys go quickly and report to the officers what we just learned about the situation." Joshua pretended to order his men to go to the officers to report back.
"Why do I think you are unfamiliar?" At this time, a sailor noticed Joshua, "What department are you in?"
Joshua was panicked for a while, but soon he had an idea and pretended to be calm and said to the sailor: "You don't even know me? Are you new here? I am Pioneer Officer Ryan!"
Hearing that the man in front of him claimed to be the vanguard of the White Dragon Knights, the sailor quickly greeted respectfully: "Ah? Hello, sir! I didn't expect you to lead the troops to spy on the enemy. Please go in and rest!"
"Hmph, look better next time!" Joshua glared at the sailor and walked into the passage leading to the interior of the cabin.
"It's so suspenseful, I almost got recognized." Joshua breathed a sigh of relief after entering the cabin, "Now quickly go find the explosives and see where they are!"
Joshua searched the cabin and finally found a group of sailors carrying gunpowder barrels at the door of a storage room. Apparently the demolition force of the White Dragon Knights was beginning to assemble in preparation for a night raid.
"Everyone take a break! We will move according to the capacity of one boat, and then move the second batch after it is full." These gunpowder barrels are being moved out from the storage room, and the sailors are waiting at the door to transport the gunpowder to the small boat.
command on.
"It seems that this is where they store gunpowder, but I don't have any tools to start a fire. Otherwise, I would just burn this place with a fire." Joshua thought to himself.
Suddenly, two figures appeared behind Joshua. One of them gently patted Joshua on the back.
"Who?" Joshua turned around and saw that it was the Jungle Rangers who were on the boat with him. The man who filmed him put his index finger in front of his mouth to signal him to speak softer.
"We have found the place where they hid their gunpowder. Now we just need to find a way to light their gunpowder magazine directly. Then we will find a small boat on the warship and escape directly. But there is a problem. I can't find the tools to make a fire now.
." Joshua told the two jungle rangers his plan.
Hearing Joshua's plan, the Jungle Ranger nodded, then lifted the Shadow Assassin's cloak on himself and pointed at his waist. It turned out that the Shadow Assassin troops often moved at night, and their members would carry flints with them to shoot.
The flints were carried in small pouches on their belts.
"There are many people guarding the entrance to the gunpowder magazine! We have to think of a better way to attack!" Joshua observed and said.
At this time, the Jungle Ranger patted Joshua's shoulder again and pointed to the other end of the cabin. It turned out that there was an extremely narrow vent on the side of the powder magazine, which was impossible for ordinary adults to enter. But about
Shua's figure is just right for getting in.
"Although you don't like to talk, you are very smart." Joshua said with a smile, "I can finally take out these wooden blocks from my boots. My feet are hurting to death!"
Joshua asked them to help him guard the wind, and then quickly opened the vent and got in. The storage room was full of gunpowder, and that did not include those that had been moved out by the sailors.
"Hey, I can just put these ropes tied to the gunpowder barrels to use." Joshua took out his dagger, cut off all the hemp ropes tied around the gunpowder barrels, and then tied them all as quickly as possible.
Together. The next thing he had to do was to open a few barrels of gunpowder and spread them all over the storage room. After all these steps were completed, Joshua buried one end of the rope in the gunpowder, and then held the other end.
Climbed out of the vent again.
On the deck at this time, Simon was waiting for the return of the Shadow Troops. However, he did not notice any movement until the warship was about to reach the shoal. So he stopped a sailor who was patrolling the deck and asked: "You guys
Have you seen the people we sent out to spy on intelligence come back?"
"Eh? Didn't they come back a long time ago?" the sailor responded, "And the pioneer officer, Lord Ryan, also asked his men to report the situation to you immediately, Lord Simon!"
"What Ryan?" Simon felt bad after hearing what the sailor said. "How can we have a pioneer officer named Ryan?"
"Wait! Our vanguard officer is indeed not named Ryan!" Another sailor suddenly thought of something.
As soon as he finished speaking, there were violent explosions in the cabin, followed by clouds of flames shooting out from below the deck. Everyone on the deck suddenly felt that the entire warship was shaking violently. "No, enemy attack!
