Raising Paladins

Episode 142. Pinas Revolution (10)

“Something is creepy… … .”

The pirates reached the entrance to the ruined island gorge.

Led by the oldest and most experienced pirate, they were slowly entering the canyon.

Unlike places where tropical jungle forests continued all the way, the volcano exploded and the lava passed through the deep dug terrain, so it was gray and gloomy.

In addition, there were a lot of bizarre plants that I had never seen around.

But the most important thing to the pirates was water.

“Hey, over there! It’s water! It is also very clean!”

A stream of water flowing powerfully through the depths of the gorge.

Even at first glance, it was so clear that if you brought it to your mouth, you could gulp it right away.

In addition, it was very cool because it came out through the bedrock underground.

“Ahh… … .”

Seven hundred pirates licked their lips.

However, the head pirate did not give the order to advance.

“Wait for the scouts to come. Remember we are fighting the militia right now!”

At his words, the thirsty pirates came to their senses a little.

Soon after, the spy sent as a starter returned.

It was a very happy face.

“No one! I’ve looked all the way up the canyon, but there’s no ambush!”

“Really?!”

“yes! There’s no reason for me to lie, is there?!”

“Hmm… … .”

The leader rested his chin on his chin and fell into trouble.

At that time, the leadership who had opposed entering the gorge spoke to them.

“Something is strange, bro? Why didn’t they ambush them? There is no terrain better for an ambush than here.”

“Me too, that is strange. I don’t know if I’ve seen any traces of them… … It’s strange that you can’t even see the ends of your hair.”

“Maybe you were scared?”

A senior executive intervened with a grin.

“Are you scared?”

“Brother, we outnumber them several times. What if they ambush you and make a mistake at least once? Then they’re done too! Those dastardly militia bastards are definitely trying to drive the war to the end. They all come from the natives of the Pinas archipelago, so you’re sure to be familiar with the island’s topography! Aren’t they trying to kill us bit by bit by setting traps here and there?”

“That makes sense.”

The boss nodded.

It is clear that the volcanic canyon here is a good terrain for an ambush.

However, as I said earlier, if the ambush operation fails, the militia will be completely annihilated while trapped in the canyon.

It was a foolish choice to go on an adventure with only about a hundred troops.

It was the basis of strategy to always think of the back and fight.

“Didn’t the detached corps led by that priestess conduct an earth war? He must have decided that in a head-on fight, ambush or whatever, there was no chance!”

The leader’s thoughts slanted at the confident words.

“I think you are right. But you’d better be careful.”

“Then send another reconnaissance. Because if you missed something, it’s dangerous.”

“I will. There you!”

The boss pointed to a pirate.

“Look all over for ambushes as you head upstream into the gorge! The brothers’ lives are at stake, so do your best!”

“yes!”

be careful again.

Losing a battle is a problem, but if you lose a lot of troops and go back, the harpies will run away.

It was good to be as careful as possible from the point of view of being in command.

As the sun gradually rises and the thirst grows stronger.

After about an hour, the second spy returned.

“doesn’t exist! Really clean!”

“Right. Everyone enter!”

The boss gave the order with a warm smile.

Thirsty pirates started running into the gorge with faces that they had been waiting for.

***

“Heh… … stupid guys… … .”

At the same time, Jillian, who was hiding in the canyon, giggled.

He said as he looked at the Pirate Scouts who were sweeping upstream on the other side of the gorge.

“Look, is that what I said? They’re patrolling upstream on the other side of us. It’s the perfect place for an ambush!”

“thank god.”

Even in Meisa’s eyes, the other side upstream was much better for ambush than the place where they hid.

Because the terrain is flat, you can prepare multiple weapons.

The place where Meisa and the militia are hiding now is a steep cliff that makes it difficult to stand properly.

If it wasn’t for the thick forest, this would have been an impossible place to ambush.

The militiamen were hiding, leaning on the thick trees growing on the cliff.

Fortunately, the forest was overgrown, so you couldn’t see it from the outside unless you came in directly.

“This was the crux of this ambush. No matter how stupid the pirates are, they’ll send out a scout or two as they enter the canyon! But you’d never think we’d be ambushed on this cliff. They will probably enter the canyon with a smile and carelessness.”

“I’m sure he’ll do it, since we’ve sent out two scouts.”

Meisa nodded in agreement.

“Let’s wait for their troops to enter until the end, then send them off to the other world all at once. I’ve also released laxatives upstream, so I’m sure it will succeed.”

“great. But as I said before, if the pirates block the canyon’s narrow entrance, we’re in danger too. The fire will burn upward in an instant. Rather, it can be safe from fire under the canyon where the water flows.”

“That is correct. After attacking them quickly, we must jump down all at once, wipe out the remnants, and get out of the gorge immediately. Otherwise it would be really dangerous… … .”

Soon after, pirates were seen entering the lower canyon.

Meisa, Gillian, and the ambushed militiamen held their breath.

A quiet excitement spread through the crew.

‘If this operation is successful, recapture of the Pinas Islands is almost a success!’

The harpy pirates’ main base strength is about 700 people.

If you can subdue them all, the Harpy Pirates will be disintegrated in the air.

No matter how well the logistics of food and supplies are prepared, it is useless if there are no soldiers to use them.

The crew clenched their fists.

All sorts of weapons such as rocks, logs, and oil were prepared around.

“It’s water! Cool, clean water!”

“Oooh!”

The pirates entering the canyon with excited faces pressed their mouths into the water.

There are even people who completely slap their heads.

Some jumped into the running water and scooped it up with both hands and drank it.

Then the head pirate’s face distorted.

“Hey, you bastards! Drink in order! In order!”

He shouted, but the pirates suffered from thirst and could not be led.

In an instant, the chain of command collapsed.

But the boss couldn’t help it either.

Drinking water supply was one of the most important reasons for visiting this gorge.

“Right now, put water in leather bags and barrels… … Ugh… … .”

The pirate, who was about to give the order to scoop up and store drinking water, sighed.

Except for a few of the top leaders, everyone was losing their temper and drinking water.

Now, even if Henry Morgan came in person, it seemed that he would not be able to stop the pirates.

“Ahh! Cool!”

“I think I’m going to live a bit now!”

“See if I come back to this island!”

Seven hundred pirates filling their stomachs to the fullest.

However, some of the first to rush into the water made strange faces.

“Ugh… … My stomach is a bit strange… … .”

gurreuk-!

A strange noise came from their stomach.

It was the militia who entered the gorge first and established themselves, and the laxative that had been released upstream of the water source had begun to run rampant inside the boat.

“Ugh… … boat, boat… … .”

Kururuk, puuung-!

Pirates who fart with loud noises.

The color of the face was red, then blue, then there was an uproar.

They grabbed their boats and ran into the surrounding woods.

Immediately, a foul smell began to spread everywhere.

“Those assholes! What are you doing?! We’re here to catch the militia, not to play! Do not leave the ranks recklessly! stop!”

Rurr-rrr!

“Oops!”

The stomach upset quickly spread throughout the pirates.

The leaders and leaders tried to control it by wielding whips, but they didn’t listen.

Some even pulled down their pants right near the water’s edge and started pooping.

Then the water was quickly polluted.

“Me, me! Don’t poop near a stream of water! Foolish bastards! Everything downstream is polluted!”

“Get that bastard out! Catch that bastard pooping in the water!”

“Oooh! dirty!”

The canyon quickly became a mess.

For a moment, the head pirate felt strange.

The leader next to him, especially the pirate who stopped entering the canyon, said with a trembling face.

“Brother, something is strange… … .”

“what… … ?”

“The water came out through the volcanic bedrock, so it was said to be clean. But why do I get an upset stomach? If it were just one or two people, I would do it… … .”

His gaze scanned all around.

Everyone was holding on to their stomachs except for the leadership who did not drink water.

“Everyone who drank the water got an upset stomach. This… … .”

“hahahahaha! You stupid pirates!”

Loud laughter was heard from above.

The gaze of the head of the headquarters all at once turned to the upper reaches of the gorge.

A steep cliff that makes it hard to believe that people are hiding there.

It was Jillian who appeared in the bushes there.

“How does the laxative we released taste?! I have a special combination of herbs from the islands of the archipelago, so I’ll be pooping all over the place for the next three days! hahahahaha!”

“Me, like that dog!”

The top leaders pointed upward with contemplative faces.

“This is Gillian! older brother! I’m Jillian, the militia commander! He is the younger brother of Sigian, who was exiled from the pirates!”

Jillian straightened her shoulders in triumph.

“okay! I am Jillian! Pirates who plundered the Pinas Islands and harassed the residents! Today, I will send all of you to the underworld! Cut the rope!”

Took! Dududuk!

The sound of ropes bursting could be heard everywhere.

At the same time, the temporary wall that blocked the rocks and logs collapsed, and the objects inside began to roll violently down the canyon.

“uh?! uh huh?!”

Do-do-do-do-do-!

The pirates who were sitting on the water’s edge and pooping didn’t even have time to properly deal with it.

Terrible rocks and logs tumbled over them.

Screams and ruptured brains and intestines flew everywhere.

“Quaaa!”

“Save people!”

Puck, puck! Furbuck!

The stream flowing downstream of the gorge was stained with blood.

Unsightly body parts and internal organs floated on the water.

The pirates lost nearly half of their troops in an instant.

But their suffering had just begun.

“Ha ha ha! look good! But this is not the end! Everyone, prepare your flaming arrows!”

“… … !!!”

Despair was in the eyes of the head coach.

The militia poured oil into a pre-dug pit, set fire to it, and poked the tip of an arrow.

Then hundreds of fiery arrows were born.

“Pour it on!”

Shoo-Shoot-!

“Ah ah ah ah ah… … .”

A canyon where sweet drinking water flowed.

The place was turning into hell.
