Super Chief

The location of Okron Fortress is very critical, which even the stone bear whose soul came from more than two hundred and fifty years later has to admit.

"Master Guardian, Fort Alkron is surrounded by water on both sides, and the other two sides are large swamps. There are few paths to enter and exit Alkron Fortress. Except for boats, which are along the two life-explored roads in the swamp, there are no other places. It is said that you have entered the fortress, even if it is close to Okron Mountain, it is impossible." Pieno whispered to the stone bear some of the situation in the fortress.

　　 He looks a lot better than before, maybe this kind of conversation has a good effect on alleviating his tension, so this guy has been talking non-stop.

　　 Stone Bear now incarnates as a best listener, listening carefully to all the information about this fortress.

　　 However, the more Shi Xiong listens, the more he will give up on this fortress. If he had the slightest idea of ​​coveting this fortress just now, then after listening to Captain Pieno's account, he really gave up completely.

　　 Unless this fortress is piled up with the lives of thousands of people, or is attacked by warships with large-caliber naval guns, it is really impossible to destroy this fortress from the outside.

　　 As for winning this fortress inside, the difficulty is not ordinary. In Pieno's words, if there are no special circumstances, no outsiders of more than ten people are allowed to enter the fortress.

　　 "Forget it, don't worry about this fortress anymore" Shi Xiong shook his head helplessly.

　　 Shixiong knows very well that if he wants to rule the central and western regions of the New World, the French are a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. The Gaoshu tribe and its own tribe will fight the French sooner or later.

"The guardian is big, big bear, there is a semaphore on the side of the fortress, um, they are asking who we are. I need to use the semaphore to inform them of our identity." Pieno has now begun to enter into what he is about to play. Among the roles, the name of the stone bear has changed.

　　 "Well, let me know." Shixiong nodded faintly, "But you'd better not play tricks. I still know a little bit about your French empire's semaphore."

"Master Guardian, how dare I? I just want to finish this mission quickly so that I can go home. There is a beautiful wife and three lovely children waiting for me in my house. I don't want to Lose my life here."

　　 Ishikuma waved his hand, and Pieno ran to the cabin, then took out two small flags of different colors and stood at the bow of the ship and waved them regularly.

　　 After a while, Shi Xiong saw the gate of the fortress facing the side of the river opened open, and a group of people ran down the steps excavated on the mountain.

Because the fleet was not far from the dock at this time, with Shixiong’s eyesight, he could clearly see that there were many civilians dressed in this group of people, of course, more of them were carrying muskets and wearing clothes. Soldiers in the uniform of the French Imperial Army.

They also seemed to find that the people controlling these ships were a bit wrong, so with an order, these soldiers all raised their guns and aimed at the fleet, and some of the civilians who followed also raised their hands. gun.

　　 Through this scene, Shixiong knew that the French civilians living in this fortress were also desperadoes. He even saw several women raising their guns.

　　 At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters. Seeing this, the people on the boat went out to control the boat, and everyone else also raised their muskets. The situation became tense in an instant.

　　 Captain Pieno knew it was acting, but he still stood on the bow and jumped vigorously, while waving his hands vigorously, shouting loudly in his mouth: "Put down the gun, put down the gun, they are all his own!"

It may be that the Frenchman at the pier heard Pieno’s call, or the French officer who was watching here with a single telescope saw Captain Pieno standing on the bow, so soon, those French soldiers And the civilians put down the gun in their hands.

　　 Upon seeing this, Shi Xiong waved his hand, and the people on board also put down their guns.

　　 The four ships leaned against the log-built pier. Under the nervous gaze of a group of French soldiers, Captain Pieno laughed at a lieutenant officer.

　　 He laughed so happily, without pretending at all, it was like a performance of a returning home.

It may be that Pieno’s laughter made the judge relieved. He saluted Pieno a little, and then asked loudly: "Captain, why are you bringing a bunch of dirt, no, you Why did you bring a group of indigenous people? How about the major?"

Captain Pieno glanced at the stone bear and found that the stone bear nodded insignificantly. Then he happily ran off the ship along the set springboard and gave the lieutenant officer a big hug. , And then said loudly: "Alfons, it's nice to see you again!"

Lieutenant 　　 also responded enthusiastically to Captain Pieno's hug. The two of them held each other for a long time as if they were back to back.

"Captain, why did you run back alone? And also" the lieutenant pointed to the stone bears standing on the boat. When his gaze fell on the stone bear, the stone bear clearly saw his pupils slightly. He shrank, "And also came back with a group of aborigines? God, how could they control our inland water transport ship?" In the latter sentence, the lieutenant's voice was obviously much smaller, as if he felt about the physique of the stone bear. A little horrified.

Hearing this, Captain Pieno smiled, then patted the lieutenant on the shoulder and said, "Alphons, come, let me introduce you. This is the Great Bear, from New Orleans. He is strange. The chief of the Kemon, he and his soldiers were all brought by Major Armand to help."

　　 "The Chikhmon of New Orleans?" The lieutenant officer's eyes widened in surprise. "Why are they here?"

However, Shixiong ignored the lieutenant officer’s surprise. Instead, he said in very fluent French: "Respected sir, it’s nice to meet you. I’m the Chikmeng Chief Great Bear. These brave warriors are from our tribe. The most elite fighter, some time ago we received the invitation of Major Armand, so we took a boat to Memphis, and then all the way east from Memphis, and finally reunited with Major Armand."

　　 This fluent French once again made Lieutenant Alphonse's eyes widened in surprise. He never imagined that such a huge native could speak such fluent French.

"The Whistle Snake of the Retici tribe wants to do a big deal with our major, do you know about this?" Ignoring Alfons’ surprise, Pieno grabbed his shoulders. Whispered in his ear.

These words turned Alfons’ attention away, and he nodded and said, “Yes, the major told me to be optimistic about the fortress before he set off. But the major has been away for more than 20 days, and I’m worried about it. . Pieno, didn’t the major say that he would be back in more than ten days at the most? Why did it take so long? And, what is the matter with these Chikmon? Are they not far away in New Orleans? How come they are here? "

"Hey, yes, the major has indeed achieved good results in cooperation with the Chekashas. We not only succeeded in destroying the tribe of the Cherokee high priest, we also went upstream along the big bend. Go, and finally almost touched the palace of the Cherokee. But they are too many people, we are not the opponent of the Cherokee. But we occupy a key pass, and those Chekashas are also dispatched. Many people helped. As long as they can occupy this pass, the Cherokee will not be able to go west." Pieno pretended to be very happy and said.

　　 Obviously, this guy hasn't learned nonsense, and he said something insincerely. But the news was strong enough, plus that Lieutenant Alfons didn't see Pieno's expression, so there was no doubt.

　　 "Is this true? The major almost gave the Cherokee king's court?"

"Yes. I have to say that the major is very visionary. Before he cooperated with the Retich tribe, he had already thought about what might happen, so he sent someone to deliver the letter to New Orleans early. As a result, the Great Bear Chief took the lead. More than two hundred soldiers participated in this operation. This time, we were able to occupy that key pass, thanks to Chief Great Bear and his soldiers, otherwise we would not be able to defend that pass."

　　Pieno said so, and Lieutenant Alfonso's doubts were completely relieved.

　　Alphons is just a lieutenant, but he is Armand's confidant. Because of his qualifications, his military rank is not as high as that of Pieno, but Armand was able to let him stay at Fort Okron and hand over the defenses of Fort Okron to him. This is enough to prove that this young officer is here. The position in the heart of Major Armand.

People who can be entrusted with important tasks by Armand are naturally not careless people. Although Pieno’s explanation dispelled most of his doubts, he still asked: "Captain, this time you bring this strong bear chief. Why are you here? Why don't the major and Constantine come back with him?"

"The major and Constantine are now busy holding on to that pass. The terrain of that pass is very difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can hold it by virtue of the terrain. But we don’t have enough food, if it weren’t for Constantine. Captain Ding’s boat was pulling some food. We might have given up on the pass. It was with the food on the boat that we were able to hold the pass. But the food was not much, so the major sent me to take it with me. The Great Bear Chief will fortress Sierra to pull food. The major said that at least 25,000 pounds of food are needed, so I brought them back to pull food."

　　 "Twenty-five thousand pounds of food? Where is there so much food in the fortress?" Alphonse took a deep breath, and then said with a toothache expression.

"There is no way. There are already more than 500 people defending the pass. This day, I need nearly 500 pounds of food. The major said, let me pull the food as soon as possible, because the major does not want to give up that. A pass."

After a pause, Captain Pieno continued: "Moreover, the major plans to build a fortress on the pass. For this reason, the Chekashas are transporting troops there, and the major also said that he has sent people to the new Orleans and Memphis went to find reinforcements. Here, this is a personal letter from the major. He asked me to give it to you, and then you will know what to do.” With that, Pieno took out a letter from his pocket. The sealed envelope was handed to Lieutenant Alfons.

　　 "Hi, that pass is so important?" Alfons asked in surprise as he took the envelope.

"Well, it's very important! I have seen that pass. It is at a key node in the Appalachian Mountains. If we can build a fortress on that pass, then we can guarantee that the British people will The Rockies can’t threaten us from the Appalachians. And our allies, the Chekashas, ​​also need to occupy the pass so that they can regain the territory that belonged to them. And if the Chekashas can retake it. The territory that originally belonged to them is also a good thing for us. At least we don’t have to worry about the Cherokee continuing westward and threatening our channel on the Mississippi River."

Major Pieno opened the envelope, looked down, and then touched his chin for a long time before he said: "I don't know the major's plan, but since the major's letter asked me to unconditionally cooperate with you to get the most Food, then I can only do it according to the command of the major."

As the confidant of Major Armand, Alfons naturally saw at a glance that this letter was indeed a personal letter of the major, and the content of the letter was that he must raise 25,000 pounds of food and give it to Pieno. Pull away ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Of course, the letter also mentions the identity of the Great Bear.

　　 So, with this letter, all the doubts in Lieutenant Alphonse's mind were swept away.

　　 "Damn it, I have to deal with those **** vampires again." Lieutenant Alphonse carefully folded the letter and put it in his pocket, then muttered in a low voice.

"Captain, the food we keep in the fortress is only over 18,000 pounds. I have to leave five thousand pounds of food. The soldiers staying in our fortress can't live without food. There is a gap of 12,000 pounds. , This needs to raise money with those **** vampires."

　　 Pieno shrugged and said, "That **** group of vampires deserve to die! But we all know that we can only count on those vampires to raise food for us now."

　　 "Yeah, if it weren't for the command of the major, I really wouldn't want to deal with those vampires. These **** nobles, they don't want to eat together in the country and wait to die. They have to send someone here to stir up with us. Alas"

Pieno secretly poked Alfons in the waist, and then whispered: "In fact, the reason why the major did not come back this time was directly related to the group of vampires. The major did not like to deal with them, so Chief Great Bear sent over. Alfons, you have to understand why the major sent this big man over, because the major knows that you can't help the vampires, but this big one can definitely do it."

　　 Hearing this, Alfons' eyes lit up immediately.
