Chapter 36 Almost exploded
Those goblins once again closed the distance with Butler Bear and the others.
The half-moon-shaped circle naturally formed during the chase was very detrimental to them.
If the goblins hold back, they will most likely be surrounded.
The small ax thrown by the goblin was getting closer and closer to the backs of these people.
There was no time to reload ammunition, and no possibility of stopping to shoot.
"Pah, pah, pah"
At the critical moment, bullets fired from the roof of the wooden house towards the goblins outflanking the two wings.
After several goblins rushing at the front were hit and fell down.
The remaining guys obviously slowed down, hoping that the other goblins would run ahead.
After receiving fire support from the rooftop of the wooden house, Butler Xiong and his party were finally out of danger for the time being.
At this time, the horn sound that Xie Sheng had heard sounded again.
The sound of this horn seems to have infinite magic power over the timid goblins.
These guys changed their fearful attitude before and chased after them regardless of life or death.
Xie Sheng gathered eleven people on the roof.
He asked one of the servants and two "dwarfs" to guard the door of the wooden house to prevent goblins from sneaking in through the door.
Xie Sheng was the main person on the roof, as well as the injured servant and the remaining five "dwarfs" and the four ladies who stayed on the roof.
Xie Sheng, Li Ya, Xiao Bai Lian and the injured servant, plus a "dwarf" with good marksmanship as the gunman.
Others are responsible for loading them.
Looking down from the roof, Xie Sheng had to admire the Baron again.
The Baron was truly a visionary. This was not so much a hillside as a boulder rising out of the ground.
The whole thing is three to five meters above the ground, and the path that just came up is the only way.
And the entire ramp and ramp surroundings were under fire from the roof.
As long as you have enough ammunition, anyone who wants to rush up the rocky slope will have to pay a huge price.
Perhaps the baron, who was originally proficient in military affairs, wanted to use this wooden house as a seaside fortress.
Xie Sheng was right about this. He didn't know one thing.
The location of the wooden house where they are located will be the location of the largest naval base and naval headquarters in Demon Market two hundred years later.
These agencies are military secrets and cannot be seen on tourist maps.
After the goblins entered the musket range, they first used accurate musket fire to cover Butler Xiong and his party as they retreated to the rocky slope.
Butler Xiong and his party finally climbed onto the rocky slope, and everyone including Butler Xiong collapsed in front of the wooden house.
Xie Sheng directed the people on the roof to use muskets to block the only ramp leading to the top of the slope.
Although there were a large number of goblins, only three goblins could be squeezed into that path at most.
The entire ramp is covered by the effective firing range of the musket.
"Bang, bang, bang" each goblin was hit by the musket and fell down the ramp.
After breathing for a few minutes, Butler Xiong stood up from the ground and asked people to take the two wounded people into the wooden house.
He, Johnny Knight and the remaining six servants were crawling on the top of the slope to form another sniper position.
Snipers on the roof can effectively protect the position on the slope.
The hilltop position can launch more lethal deep shots against goblins.
In the continuous fighting, at least forty to fifty goblins were killed under the stone slope.
Less than ten goblins were able to rush onto the ramp, and they were also beaten to death on the ramp.
At this time, Xie Sheng heard a familiar voice again.
"Valdano, Alondo"
A fireball appeared out of thin air and flew towards the wooden house.
"Bang" Xie Sheng, with his quick hands and eyes, blasted the fireball in mid-air with one shot without causing any damage to the fireball.
He handed the empty gun to Xiaodie and replaced it with a reloaded musket.
That guy must be killed. If the fireballs keep coming, the wooden house will be set on fire sooner or later.
By that time, even if the people in the wooden house are not burned to death by the burning wooden house, they will be hacked to death by the overwhelming flying axes.
Xie Sheng finally discovered something suspicious. Outside the range of the musket, several goblins stood in a row, covering their backs.
The exposed corner of the green hood reveals the goblin wizard hiding behind them.
Xie Sheng shot down a goblin whose legs were so nimble that he almost rushed to the top of the slope.
This time he did not hand over the empty gun to the person behind him who was responsible for loading ammunition.
Xie Sheng personally loaded it and put in three times the amount of gunpowder. Doing so already risked exploding the barrel.
But in order to defeat the goblin wizard, some risks must be taken.
"Piano player, do you want to die?" Leah, who was beside her, saw him loading gunpowder and looked at him with wide eyes.
“It’s okay to come here once in a while”
Xie Sheng took the rifle and left everyone, trying to get as close as possible to the direction of the goblin wizard.
Lie down behind the parapet and aim your gun at the green turban.
At this moment, everyone was looking at his back.
Of course Xie Sheng was also afraid of the explosion, so he asked the hunting dog that had been lying on the roof to jump to the wall two meters away.
Then he lowered his head and hid it under the parapet.
He couldn't risk using his own eyes, so he used the eyes of a hunting dog to confirm that the goblin wizard's position had not moved.
At the same time, keep your hands steady and always maintain the place where you visually aimed before.
"Vadano..." The sound of chanting a spell could be faintly heard in the ears.
"Bang" Xie Sheng pulled the trigger and felt the strong blowback from the gun in his hand.
The shot did not explode and successfully hit the green turban.
The goblins standing in a row suddenly dispersed in all directions.
A goblin wizard holding a small staff and wearing a green turban fell to the ground.
There was a burst of cheers from behind Xie Sheng, some were happy for this, and some were relieved for this.
Xie Sheng leaned against the wall and looked at the rifle in his hand.
The middle part of the barrel has been deformed, and the rifle is considered useless.
Thinking of how the gun almost exploded just now, cold sweat broke out on Xie Sheng's forehead. He threw away the rifle in his hand and let out a long breath.
After the goblin wizard was killed, the goblins shouted and retreated together.
This time the horn did not sound, and the goblins stopped their attack.
After escaping far away from the range of musket fire, these guys regrouped.
But they just stood around from a distance and did not try to enter the rifle range again.
After all, the ammunition carried by everyone was limited, so they stopped shooting after Butler Xiong gave the order.
At this moment, it was already approaching dusk, and the fierce battle finally came to an end.
Butler Xiong gave Johnny the command of the ramp position and walked into the cabin.
At first he thought there was just some small fighting at the cabin.
If not, how could two servants and these young masters capture the wooden house?
When he saw the large number of goblin corpses on the first floor of the wooden house and the traces of fierce battles, his face became very ugly.
Butler Xiong angrily walked to the rooftop.
Chapter completed!
