Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 414: Smell map
"Extraordinary Sailing ()"
Step on... Step on.. Step on..
The "Cape Storm" successfully called Harrisburg, headed by the Marine Corps led by Gary, a team of heavily armed crews have trot lined up in the port.
Except for muskets and sabers, everyone has a "activated shark skin" of different colors but consistent styles on their waists.
As the first force that Ivan set out to cultivate, the old crew who followed him to prove their loyalty in battle have already been armed to the teeth by him.
Although they are still the establishment of the kingdom, with Aiwen's current status, no one can mobilize a person without his approval. In fact, they are no different from his personal private soldiers.
Of course, Irving does not hesitate to invest in them.
While the navy soldiers lined up, Sir Bing’s officials had arrived on behalf of a vice-governor’s deputy after hearing the news that such a vicious incident occurred in the colony. Of course, it was their managers who were most anxious.
What's more, as an autonomous colony, even the top managers such as the governor are elected by the parliament. Of course, the bureaucracy also values public opinion most.
The deputy has found Aiwen for the first time:
"Your Excellency, the Governor urgently allocated two hundred military horses and a batch of jungle living supplies for your ministry. Do you think you need anything else?"
"Thank you, the Governor, for your kindness. We don't need military horses. We only need to hand over the survival supplies of two hundred people to us."
Ivan declined his kindness.
These navies under my command do not have the training subjects of riding skills, and they can't run smoothly on flat ground, let alone in the mountains and forests.
Furthermore, going deep into the wild and undeveloped inland with complex terrain, military horses may not be better than two human legs, and their soldiers have secret weapons.
Riding a military horse on the road, just the horse food with you is a big load.
"Okay, sir, I understand."
Only the commander is qualified to decide what equipment to use, and the deputy did not insist.
Then, the soldiers brought the supplies prepared by the colony, including tents in the field, marching dry food, various utensils, etc. that are not normally prepared on ships.
He didn't even need a new guide, he was already murderously driving towards the wild depths of the western part of the mainland, and Ivan personally led the hunting mode for those natives!
Only a small group of people were left behind, under the leadership of First Mate Boris, standing on the deck of "Cape Storm" and paying attention to them.
They will be here at any time to prepare for battle, because no one knows where the natives will eventually go.
The entourage of the hunting unit mainly included three official knights, Milan, Gary, and Roddy, and the hunter guide Wild and Mike sent by the commanders of the two garrisons.
Two hundred elite soldiers with relatively stronger individual strength represented by Fleck, who was in the later stage of the knight apprenticeship.
The information from the previous tern has clearly explained the situation to Aiwen. Even though the massacre of four small towns was created, it obviously still did not satisfy the appetite of the Araukan clan of the indigenous tribe.
In the days when the kingdom was merely sending information, they had already begun to move northward. Even the state of Pennsylvania at the foot caused another tragedy, resulting in the deaths of more than a hundred pioneers.
This is also the main reason why local officials are willing to provide strong support to Aiwen.
And knowing that there are a large number of totem warriors in this group of indigenous people, even if the high-level is anxious to get angry, it is impossible to send ordinary soldiers directly to death.
It's not distressing just to die a few people, but if you continue to add fuel, it will become the kind of evil ritual that is suspected of blood sacrifice, which will continue to deliver sacrifices, causing the opponent's strength to continue to increase, which will be a big trouble.
The "horn of storm" and the officers and soldiers headed by Aiwen are already the closest equivalent armed forces to the group of natives.
Among them, Aiwen's personal strength is actually the most important factor.
After all, he has a record of "killing" a third-order knight, and he is also an official wizard who is best at dealing with these mysterious events.
At least for now, no one is more suitable than him.
For Aiwen, this emergency was within his scope of authority, and now the new crew of the "Storm Horn" accounted for almost half of the crew, and it happened to be renewed through a collective action. Complete the break-in.
At this time, no matter what the original intention of the indigenous people to attack the pioneering town was, it is no longer important.
As Ivan has understood since he came to the New World, this is a dispute between the living space and interests of the two ethnic groups. There is no right or wrong, only strong and weak!
Once colonization (aggression) is started, unless one party is completely down and can no longer stand up, the war will never end.
The large force walked out of the city in a mighty force and came to a place where there were no people.
Ivan waved his hand suddenly and ordered:
"Everyone has it, marching mode!"
In the surprised eyes of the new warrant officer Roddy and the two hunters.
"Invincible!"
In the uniform shouts, the shark skin on the waists of the soldiers has squirmed and expanded, but only covered the waists and legs, completing part of the colonization.
There is no need to fight in this state, and the battery life of "activated animal skins" is greatly extended. With the outstanding endurance of human beings, it is enough to support a long-distance march.
In areas with complex terrain, it is much stronger than a military horse, and it is also a miracle that no strong knight can achieve.
"Go!"
Wow! Whoosh! Whoosh! ....
Although everyone is carrying more than 40 kilograms, they walk with wind, which is faster than normal people trotting.
They will go to the town where they were last attacked, where they will meet the responders and the scout team.
At this time, the seagulls had already been sent out in advance, hanging in the air above everyone's heads, constantly feeding back information from the front.
As long as the group of Araukhan clan dared to poke their heads out of the summer forests, without having to track the potion sprinkled in advance, Ivan would be able to spot them.
The cooperation between ground and air already has a shadow of a three-dimensional war in the future.
Only Olivia, who was in the team, was in a subtle mood. She was chased by others yesterday, but today she has become chasing and killing others.
Fate is too mysterious.
......
In the colonial economy, Sir Bing, who relied heavily on his fur like East Lents, was moving westward obviously more positively than Caguinia, which was dominated by the plantation economy.
Even with the assistance of "Activated Animal Skins", when Ivan and his party arrived at the last attacked location-Norwalk, a day and a half had passed.
And here, they also saw the trailblazer's body that had not been completely cleaned up after the attack.
In addition to losing his scalp and making his face look hideous, everyone's hearts are also missing.
The entire chest of one of the corpses has been lifted by tremendous force. In addition to the disappearance of the heart, the other internal organs also have traces of being eaten.
"Are these disgusting guys cannibals? They just gnawed at them."
Milan, standing next to him, frowned deeply.
"It's not just this corpse that still has traces of eating, but there are many beside it. It's as if I couldn't stand the stimulation of flesh and blood when I was removing the heart and I took a few more bites.
Although it is not the focus, it can be concluded that after these guys take their hearts, the greatest probability is to eat them directly. "
After examining the bodies of most of the Trailblazers, Ivan has come to a conclusion.
Seeing the new warrant officer behind Milan, with the same round face that did not change his face when facing this scene, he couldn't help but glanced up at the little fat man.
The current situation is somewhat similar to the rumor that the cannibals can gain power by eating the flesh and blood of the enemy.
There are many ethnic groups among the Atrians and they fight against each other all the year round. There are not too few ethnic groups with the tradition of cannibalism and blood sacrifice.
But this Araucan clan was originally not strong, and there is no tradition of cannibalism. But after the massacre started, the totem warriors in the tribe began to increase abnormally.
There must be some kind of internal connection between the two.
"Catch up, you can't let them go on.
Even this kind of partial power must have major flaws.
But it doesn’t need to be too much. As long as there is a totem warrior army of dozens of people, even the capitals of eleven colonies can’t stop them! "
However, when they were about to set off again, they received bad news from the reception staff who had been waiting here.
The elite scout team, which has been closely behind the indigenous tribe, has been more than 24 hours since the last intelligence transmission. The significance of this situation is self-evident.
Furthermore, the natives must already know that there are troops from the kingdom behind them, and the difficulty of tracking will inevitably rise sharply.
At this time, Wilder, a hunter guide wearing a deerskin suit, came to Aven’s side and asked for orders: "Your Excellency, leave the tracking issue to us."
"Oh? Can you track it too?"
Ivan knew that because of the severe living environment of the New World and the massive equipment of rifled guns, a large number of marksmen in the trailblazers had been created.
It is a great deterrent in the wilderness, and Wilder and Mike are such two elite marksmen.
They are equipped with the most sophisticated Kentucky rifles, have a wealth of wild survival and hunting experience, fighting in the wilderness, they have already become a bit of a sniper style.
This is also the impression Ivan had of them at the beginning.
Seeing Alvin’s doubts, Wilder smiled confidently:
"Come out."
Squeak...
I saw a lively squirrel crawling out of his jacket pocket and jumping to his shoulder.
After Wilder's explanation.
The sense of smell of rodents is ten times that of dogs, and the ability to distinguish is stronger. After training, they can easily distinguish the smell of the potion being spilled on the natives.
The only drawback is that they can’t understand complex instructions and are very timid.
And now it keeps jumping up and down~IndoMTL.com~ It means that the indigenous people have indeed been here, and the squirrels have indeed smelled the lingering smell on them!
It's just that this kind of guy with a keen sense of smell but too small brain capacity can't get the full trust of Ivan.
Especially when seagull's high-altitude reconnaissance is temporarily ineffective and can only be traced by smell.
However, he had been prepared for a long time, but he had a better way.
"Flake!"
"Your Excellency!"
Handed him a huge brown bear skin from the magic pocket. This was an unexpected harvest when he hunted the wolves.
Although bears’ sense of sight and hearing are not sensitive, their sense of smell is very developed, which can reach seven times that of dogs, and can even present a fine odor map in the brain, which is comparable to a magical and extraordinary ability.
Most of the ordinary "activated skins" that Ivan made before were focused on combat effectiveness.
This piece of brown bear skin retains its olfactory system intact. Although it results in average combat ability, it can almost completely replicate the brown bear’s own olfactory ability.
Actually, sharks have the same sensitive sense of smell. If you let Baldwin, who has inherited the ability of dogfish from the inside to the outside, come here.
With his extraordinary level, he must be stronger than the brown bear.
However, at this time, Flake, who had reached the end of his apprenticeship, put on a bear skin and turned into a huge brown bear with a height of two meters.
The human mind and brown bear's sense of smell are definitely much more reliable than squirrels.
Get an extra potion from Wilder, smell it, and quickly point out a direction.
"Although the smell has been a little weak after several days, the bear's sense of smell tells me that it is in that direction!"
At the same time, Wilder's squirrel made the same judgment.
"Good job, head northeast, let's go!"
