We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

There is a gravel road from the Admiral's Residence to the dock, which is also the only road on Luzon that is not a dirt road.

The sound of horse hooves hitting the road made a crisp sound.

As Alvaro rushed to the dock, the sound of artillery fire in the distance never stopped.

At first he was able to concentrate on getting on with his journey, but as the sound of artillery fire got closer, the fear dormant in his heart began to gradually awaken.

He suddenly remembered his identity.

He was not a skilled and warlike admiral, but a dissolute aristocrat who indulged in prostitution and drinking parties all day long.

Although after taking over Luzon Island, he was able to reverse his reputation by virtue of this achievement, and used it to hook up with many socialites who admired him.

But this doesn't change the fact that I'm a fool.

It was still possible to deal with the indigenous people of Luzon, but the group of people attacking the dock were obviously not primitive people, but an army equipped with advanced weapons.

What am I doing now? Going to die?

Alvaro gritted his teeth, thought of his life as an emperor, and forced himself not to turn his horse around and run back.

Go and have a look, just go and have a look!

If the battlefield situation is favorable and the overconfident attackers have been defeated by the defending forces, he will go out and reap the fruits of victory.

If the situation goes wrong at all, let the guards protect you and retreat inland. There are sailboats hidden in advance at the dock on the other side of Luzon that can take you back to Portugal.

As he was thinking about this, Alvaro suddenly found that his shadow was elongated under the sunlight and cast on the gravel on the ground.

In just a moment, the shadow was covered by a dozen darker shadows.

He turned his head with a stiff neck and saw fully armed black-armored soldiers emerging from the morning mist on both sides of the road.

The soldiers were wearing black iron armor, half of them were holding light crossbows, and the other half were holding strangely shaped iron bottles.

No one spoke, they just looked at their group silently, like a group of evil spirits crawling out of hell!

"careful......"

Alvaro's personal guard captain was the first to notice the abnormality and shouted a warning.

Ying Bu, who was at the front, stopped hesitating and instantly pulled the trigger of the pepper bottle pistol.

Eight gun barrels rotated, spewing out smoke, and lead bullets were shot out of the barrels at high speed, sparking.

This kind of killing weapon specially made by the Gunpowder Bureau had already proved its terror on the battlefield with the Shiwei people. It was mass-produced in the previous few months and was continuously improved.

Although it has little power, it can fire continuously!

Although its range is short, it can fire continuously!

Although it is difficult to load, it can fire continuously!

Being able to fire eight lead bullets in a few breaths is enough for Li Che to ignore all its shortcomings and make it the main weapon for medium and short-range combat!

At this moment, more than 200 pepper shakers roared at the same time, and the lead rain turned the admiral's gold-rimmed tricorn hat into a sieve.

The SS became lambs to be slaughtered in the narrow streets and alleys. The whistling rain of bullets was like a large dose of sleeping pills, making the SS fall asleep in large groups.

Half of the Portuguese soldiers jumped off their horses and retreated hastily behind their horses, trembling and trying to reload their muskets.

At this moment, several round grenades fell from the roof. The moment the cast iron shell exploded, countless steel fragments nailed seven or eight soldiers to the brick wall not far away.

The survivor just turned around to run when he was shot through the knee by a light crossbow and fell into the still smoking crater.

Alvaro's personal guard captain drew his sword, but before the fine steel-forged rapier could be completely unsheathed, the rushing Marine used a small shield to knock it back into the scabbard.

Fu Liang in the back swiped the short blade in his hand along the upper edge of the shield, leaving behind a bloody throat.

Under the astonished gaze of the captain of the guards, he tore off the other's ruby-studded epaulettes and stuffed them into the leather bag around his waist, his movements skillful and smooth.

The new concubine in the family likes these shiny things. Maybe bringing them back to her will unlock new tricks. After all, she is a famous prostitute in Jiangnan.

But the kidneys will suffer again.

Most of the 800 Portuguese soldiers were wiped out in an instant, but this group of the admiral's personal guards lived up to their reputation as elite soldiers. Even at this point, they were still thinking of fighting back.

Dozens of Portuguese soldiers drew their two-handed swords, rushed out from behind the battered corpses of their war horses, and pulled up the admiral who was kneeling on the ground with his butt sticking up.

Afterwards, dozens of soldiers who had barely loaded their muskets formed a makeshift front and fired back at the Marines on both sides of the road.

Before the gunshots rang out, a huge shadow suddenly fell overhead.

A soldier subconsciously looked up at the sky, and then three deep scratches that could be seen to the bone suddenly appeared on his face. Then his neck turned 180 degrees, and his eyes widened as he stared at the soldiers behind him.

A gorgeous tiger rushed out from the side, and its tiger skin was covered with a thin layer of black mail, protecting all parts of its body except the joints.

Xiaosong roared like a tiger, shocking all the soldiers so much that they completely forgot to pull the trigger. Then, relying solely on his physical advantage, he knocked seven or eight soldiers flying!

Fu Liang raised his hand and slashed a soldier's throat with a knife, then looked at the colorful beast beside him in astonishment, forgetting to close his mouth, causing him to swallow a mouthful of blood that spurted out.

Ying Bu pulled the Silent Sword out from his opponent's chest. Seeing Fu Liang's surprised expression, he said coldly, "Your Highness said that Lord Xiaosong's move is called Storm Nebula Crack."

Fu Liang: ???

Seeing Fu Liang's confused expression, Ying Bu twitched his lips and continued to chop people in silence.

It seems that I am not suitable for joking. When His Highness told this joke, everyone laughed.

Little did they know that the reason why people laughed was not because the joke was funny, how could ancient people understand this lame joke, it was because the joke was said by Li Che...

The situation of the battle completely tilted after Komatsu joined the battlefield. The eight hundred guards were killed or injured, and soon lost the ability to resist.

The greatswordsmen armed with two-handed swords were still resisting stubbornly, but by the time the soldiers armed with pepper shaker pistols finished reloading, the resistance turned into a line of shooting.

On the battlefield filled with smoke, the great admiral was still trying his best, crawling towards the dark edge of the battlefield with his butt sticking up like a maggot.

He didn't want to die, at least not at the hands of these demons.

At this moment, Alvaro no longer knew what fear was. He was like a player who had just left the novice village and encountered a boss with a hidden level mechanism. He had no courage to fight and his mind was blank.

The Fengtian Army's fighting style was so bizarre that he doubted whether these guys were human beings.

Just as Alvaro was about to crawl into the bushes beside the road, a short blade suddenly pierced the soil next to his neck.

He looked up in horror and saw an ordinary, unrecognizable face.

"Where are you going?" General Ma Zhong, the master detective, looked at the foreigner, whose attire was completely different from that of an ordinary soldier, and couldn't help but smile. "Are you going home for dinner?"
