Ta Ta … Ta Ta … Ta Ta …
"Storm Horn" successfully docked at Harrisburg. With the marines led by Gary as the leader, a group of fully armed crew members had already trotted to the port.
In addition to guns and sabers, everyone had an "animated shark skin" of different colors but the same style on their waist.
As the first force that Elvin started to cultivate, the old crew members who had followed him for a long time and proved their loyalty were already armed to the teeth.
Although they were still part of the kingdom's establishment, with Elvin's current position, no one could mobilize them without his approval. In fact, they were no different from his personal soldiers.
Elvin certainly did not hesitate to invest in them.
When the navy soldiers were ready to line up, Sir Bin's official representative, a deputy of the governor, had already heard the news and rushed over. With such a vicious incident happening in the colony, of course, the managers were the most anxious.
Not to mention, as an autonomous colony, even the highest manager like the governor was elected by the parliament. The bureaucratic class, of course, valued the public opinion the most.
The deputy had already found Elvin.
"General, Mr. Governor has urgently transferred two hundred military horses and a batch of jungle survival supplies for your department. Do you need anything else?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Governor. We don't need military horses. Just give us the wilderness survival supplies for two hundred people."
Elvin declined his kindness.
The navy under his command did not have horsemanship training. They could not run smoothly on flat ground, let alone in the mountains.
Moreover, deep in the wilderness with complicated terrain, military horses might not be as useful as human legs. Not to mention, his soldiers all had secret weapons.
Riding military horses on the road, just the horse food alone was not a small burden.
"Okay, sir, I understand."
Only the commander had the right to decide what equipment to use, and the deputy did not insist.
Then, the soldiers brought the supplies prepared by the colony, including wild tents, marching rations, various tools, and other things that were usually not prepared on the ship.
They did not even ask for a new guide. They were already murderously heading to the depths of the wilderness in the west of the continent. With Elvin personally leading them, they began to hunt down the group of natives!
Only a small part of the crew was left behind. Under the lead of First Mate Boris, they stood on the deck of Storm Horn and saluted them.
They would be on standby and ready for battle at any time because no one knew where those natives would eventually flee to.
The pursuers included Milan, Gary and Rody, the three official Knight, and Wilder and Mike, the two guides sent by the Chief of Garrison Troops.
With Flake, who was a late-stage Knight Trainee, as the representative, there were two hundred elite soldiers who were relatively stronger individually.
Elvin's previous report had clearly explained the situation to Tern. Even though they had massacred the four pioneer towns, it still wasn't enough to satisfy the appetite of the Araucan tribe.
In the few days it took for the kingdom to pass on the information, they had already begun to flee towards the north. They even caused another tragedy in the Pennsylvania state under their feet, causing the deaths of more than a hundred pioneers.
This was also the main reason why the local officials were willing to support Elvin and the others.
Knowing that there were a large number of totemic warriors among the natives, no matter how anxious the higher-ups were, they could not directly send ordinary soldiers to their deaths.
If only a few people died, they would not feel distressed. However, if they continued to add fuel to the fire, it would become an evil ritual that was suspected to be a blood sacrifice, causing the strength of the natives to continuously increase.
The Storm Horn and the soldiers led by Elvin were already the closest armed force to the natives.
Among them, Elvin's personal strength was the most important factor.
After all, he had the record of 'killing' a grade 3 Great Knight. At the same time, he was an official Wizard who was best at dealing with these mysterious matters.
At least for now, no one was more suitable than him.
To Elvin, this sudden incident was within the scope of his authority. Now that the new members of the Storm Horn accounted for almost half of the crew, it was just the right time to complete a group operation.
At this time, no matter what the original intention of the natives attacking the pioneer town was, it was no longer important.
Just as Elvin understood when he came to the New World, this was a conflict of survival space and interests between the two races. There was no right or wrong, only the strong and the weak!
Once the colonization (invasion) started, unless one side completely collapsed and could not rise again, the war would never end.
The large group walked out of the city and came to a place where there was no human habitation.
Elvin suddenly waved his hand and gave an order.
"Everyone, march!"
Under the surprised gaze of the new Warrant Officer Rody and the two hunters.
"Invincible!"
In the uniform shout, the sharkskin around the waist of the soldiers wriggled and expanded. However, it only covered the waist and legs, completing part of the cloak.
In this state, there was no need to fight. The endurance of the 'Activated Beast Skin' was greatly extended. Coupled with the outstanding endurance of humans, it was enough to support a long-distance march.
In the complicated terrain, it was much stronger than military horses. It was also a miracle that even the strongest Knight could not achieve.
"Let's go!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Although each of them carried more than 40 kilograms of weight, each of them walked faster than a normal person's jog.
They would go to the last town that was attacked and meet up with the rescue team and the scout team there.
At this time, the seagulls had already been sent out in advance. They hovered in the air above everyone's heads and constantly reported back to them.
As long as the group of Araucans dared to poke their heads out of the forest in the summer, Elvin would be able to find them without the need for tracking potions.
With the cooperation of the ground and air, there was already a shadow of a three-dimensional war in the future.
Only Olivia, who was walking with ease, felt a little strange. Yesterday, she was still being hunted down, but today, she was the one being hunted down.
Fate was simply too mysterious.
.....
In the colonial economy, Sir Bing, who relied heavily on fur like Eastern Lunzhi, was obviously much more active in pushing westward than Carginia, who mainly relied on plantations.
Even with the help of the 'Activated Beast Skin', when Elvin and the rest arrived at the last place where they were attacked, Norwalk, a day and a half had already passed.
And there, they also saw the bodies of the pioneers that had not been completely cleaned up after the attack.
In addition to losing their scalps, which made their faces look particularly ferocious, all of their hearts were missing.
One of the bodies' entire chest had been ripped open by a huge force. In addition to the missing heart, the other internal organs were also left with traces of being eaten.
"Are these disgusting guys cannibals? They actually ate them directly. "
Milan, who was standing next to him, frowned deeply.
"It's not just this body that has traces of being eaten. There are many more nearby. It's as if they couldn't bear the stimulation of the flesh and took a few more bites when the heart was removed.
Although it's not the main point, it's basically certain that after these guys took the heart, they ate it directly. "
Elvin came to a conclusion after inspecting most of the bodies of the pioneers.
Looking at the new warrant officer behind Milan, his round face did not change in the face of such a scene. He could not help but look at the little fatty in a different light.
The current situation was somewhat similar to the rumors among the cannibals that they could gain power by eating the flesh and blood of the enemy.
There were many tribes among the Atreans, and they were hostile to each other all year round. There were many tribes with traditions of cannibalism and blood sacrifice.
But this Araucan tribe was originally not strong, and there was no tradition of cannibalism. But after the massacre began, the number of totem warriors in the tribe began to increase abnormally.
There must be some internal connection between the two.
"Catch up, we can't let them continue any longer.
Even if this kind of power is obtained through an unorthodox method, there must be a major flaw.
But we don't need too many. As long as there is a totem warrior troop of dozens of people, even the capitals of the 11 colonies can't stop them! "
However, when they were about to set off again, they received bad news from the people who had been waiting here for a long time.
It had been more than 24 hours since the last report from the elite scout team that had been tailing the aboriginal tribe. The significance of this situation was self-evident.
Moreover, the natives must have already known that there were troops from the kingdom chasing after them. The difficulty of tracking them would inevitably rise sharply.
At this time, the hunter guide Wilder, who was wearing a deerskin coat, came to Elvin's side and asked, "General, leave the tracking problem to us."
"Oh? You can track them too? "
Elvin knew that because of the harsh survival environment of the new continent and the large number of rifled guns, there were many sharpshooters among the pioneers.
It was a huge deterrent in the wilderness, and Wilder and Mike were two such elite sharpshooters.
They were equipped with the best Kentucky rifles and had rich wilderness survival and hunting experience. In the wilderness, they already had the demeanor of a sniper.
This was also Elvin's initial impression of them.
Seeing Elvin's doubts, Wilder smiled confidently.
"Come out."
Squeak squeak squeak …
A lively squirrel came out of his jacket pocket and hopped onto his shoulder.
After Wilder's explanation.
A squirrel's sense of smell was ten times that of a dog's, and its ability to distinguish was stronger. After training, they could easily distinguish the smell of the medicine that was sprinkled on the natives.
The only weakness was that they couldn't understand complicated instructions and were very timid.
Now that they were hopping up and down, it meant that the natives had indeed been here, and the squirrel had indeed smelled the residual smell on them!
However, this fellow with a keen sense of smell but a small brain couldn't gain Elvin's complete trust.
This was especially so when the seagulls' high-altitude reconnaissance was temporarily fruitless, and they could only rely on smell to track them down.
However, since he was already prepared, he had a better idea.
"Flake!"
"Your Excellency!"
He handed him a large brown bear skin from his magic pocket. This was an unexpected gain from hunting wolves back then.
Although bears' vision and hearing weren't very sensitive, their sense of smell was very developed, reaching seven times that of a dog's. They could even present a detailed smell map in their brain, which was comparable to a miraculous Transcendent ability.
The ordinary "Activated Animal Skins" that Elvin had made previously were mostly focused on combat ability.
However, this brown bear skin had completely retained its olfactory system. Although its combat ability was mediocre, it could almost completely replicate the brown bear's olfactory ability.
In fact, sharks also had a keen sense of smell. If Baldwin, who had completely inherited the abilities of a dogfish shark, were to come here …
With his Transcendent level, he would definitely be stronger than the brown bear.
However, Flake, who had already reached the late stage of the apprentice level, put on the bear skin and turned into a giant brown bear that was two meters tall.
A human brain and a brown bear's sense of smell were definitely much more reliable than a squirrel's.
He asked for an extra bottle of medicine from Wilder and sniffed it. Soon, he pointed in a direction.
"Although a few days have passed and the smell is a little faint, the bear's sense of smell tells me that it's in that direction!"
At the same time, Wilder's squirrel made the same judgment.
"Good job. Northeast direction. Let's go!"
