"Everyone, prepare for battle immediately!" I said in a deep voice.
Lin Chun reacted instantly and relayed the message.
All the savages got ready at the same time. Our captured firearms were limited, so only some of them could be equipped.
This group of savages were the ones who learned fastest and grasped the skills most firmly.
As for the remaining firearms, they were all given to the mercenaries.
After making these preparations, I immediately had them lie in wait at the edge of the beach.
We had already dug trenches there, which would allow them to take cover.
I, meanwhile, watched from a distance.
With my current eyesight, I could get a general idea of what was happening on the ship even without binoculars.
This ship was about the same size as the previous one and was also equipped with cannons!
At this moment, those cannons appeared to be ready!
Seeing this, a cold smile appeared on my face.
Indeed, the fact that the previous ship hadn't returned had made those who came this time all vigilant.
They were ready to launch a full-scale attack on us.
Naturally, I couldn't just sit and wait. In my current state, I could use the dismantled cannons to launch an attack directly.
But I wasn't very inclined to do so.
As things stood, the ship was also something we desperately needed. If it could be kept intact, that would be best.
Unless those guys attacked first, we would have no room for compromise.
I had Luo Yaqin hide deep in the camp, where it had also been reinforced.
At least, ordinary shelling wouldn't affect the inside, and she could be kept safe there.
Although Luo Yaqin was very reluctant, she also knew that if she insisted on staying by my side, not only would she be unable to help me, but she would also become a burden.
"You must be careful!" Luo Yaqin said, her face showing undisguised worry.
"Don't worry, even if they all die, I won't!" I said with a smile.
The reason I said that just now was because I possessed the Power of the Shepherd God.
Under these circumstances, I had sufficient self-preservation ability.
Compared to the mercenaries and the savages, I definitely had more advantages.
After another half a day passed, the ship finally approached the beach.
At the same time, I clearly saw that on the ship, someone seemed to be looking through binoculars.
From that vantage point, they could see our camp and the defensive structures I had built earlier.
I held my breath and covered my ears with the Power of the Shepherd God, maximizing my hearing. Even from my position, I could hear the conversations of the people on the ship!
"See those defensive structures? This is definitely not something some savages could have built. This is made entirely with modern civilization!" the person with the binoculars exclaimed loudly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the person who did this should be the one we're looking for!" Behind him, there seemed to be another man.
"That's likely the case," the man with the binoculars replied, a hint of mockery in his voice. "It's useless. With the absolute backing of modern technology, those primitive methods are no match!"
"Then what do you mean..." the man behind him asked.
"These things must not be kept!" The man with the binoculars had a smile on his face. "Prepare to bombard. We'll open fire in one minute and destroy all of them!"
Hearing this, my expression changed.
I had thought these guys would come down to check the situation, but I didn't expect them to have no intention of disembarking.
"Since that's the case, I'll have to take you down!" I said with a cold face.
It was evident that the man with the binoculars was of considerable height and status.
I took out a bow and arrow from behind me.
This bow and arrow were custom-made for me, made entirely of high-quality steel, with extraordinary strength.
The bowstring was made from the sinew of a fierce tiger, which brought the bow's strength to a top-tier level.
After this bow was crafted, the mercenaries tried it, but with their strength, they couldn't even draw it.
Many of the physically strong savages also tried it, but no one could draw it.
I held the bow in one hand and an arrow in the other.
This arrow was made of pure steel.
Compared to arrows with steel arrowheads, it possessed greater destructive power.
With a single hand, I exerted force, and the bow was instantly drawn into a full moon.
The savages ambushing beside me widened their eyes at this sight.
They could hardly imagine how much strength it would take to draw such a bow!
"Since you want to destroy us, don't blame me for making the first move!" I said in a deep voice. The Power of the Shepherd God enveloped the arrow, and in an instant, the entire bow and arrow were covered in a light green glow, looking exceptionally resplendent!
After aiming, I released my hand...
