Chapter 9 Chaos

The townspeople who were summoned to the church learned from the sheriff and priest that the Indians were about to attack the town where they lived.

Then the men organized themselves, took up arms, and prepared to build a defense line at the entrance of the town. Of course, there are also people who choose to go home and want to stick to their homes.

Since some people choose to resist, there are naturally some people who choose to escape, but those who want to run soon find that they can no longer escape.

Because the Indians had surrounded the entire town and launched an attack, the residents who went to the entrance of the town to build a defense line were bloodily massacred.

Rifles could not prevent the attack of Indian hunters on horseback, and they did not have time to block the road to the city with anything.

This led to the fact that the Indians quickly entered the crowd on horseback and began to kill them. After killing all those people, they tried to destroy the city.

They killed every living animal they could see, be it a man, a woman, a dog or anything else.

Then they set fire to every visible building, threw torches. In that dry night, the wooden houses of the city residents were almost on fire.

The inhabitants of the small towns that remained in their houses either burned their houses or fled despite the fire and were killed by the Indians with rifles and bows.

Of course some people hid in the cellar, but the Indians also blocked the exit of the cellar with wood and then smoked and died inside.

In fact, Indians often use smoke to hunt prey in caves. The prey dies in the cave or is smoked, or must be exhausted and surrounded by Indians.

But whatever it is, the end is inevitable. Even if it is not smoked at this point, it loses its durability and eventually becomes a delicacy in Indian stomachs.

But now the inhabitants of the city have become the prey of their eyes. They chase their prey with abandon and laugh heartily when they succeed.

The resistance of the people of the city seemed very determined, but weak. After all, they are ordinary immigrants. Although some of them have joined the army, their weapons are very crude.

In addition, the number of people was not proportionate. Thousands of Indian warriors stormed this small town with a little more than a thousand inhabitants. The resistance of the townspeople was getting weaker and weaker.

Finally, all the residents gathered in the church, the only stone building in the center of the town, where they built a strong enough defense line to withstand the Indian attack.

And there was enough manpower. After the residents of the town near the center discovered the tragic situation of the residents on the periphery, they quickly gathered in the church and used the time that the residents on the periphery had bought with their lives to build a simple line of defense.

All they have to do now is hold on until the US military comes to rescue them. After all, the fire rising from the town will definitely attract the attention of the nearby garrison and other small towns.

In fact, the Indians were also aware of the town residents' plans. They mobilized a large number of people and began to concentrate their forces to attack the church.

Others were divided into small teams and responsible for cleaning up the remaining residents and houses. In short, kill people and set fires.

One of the teams arrived at the location of Old Creed's house, and by this time our protagonist had realized something was wrong.

He opened the iron chain on his body and came to the cellar door. He leaned against the cellar door and listened to what was happening outside.

He heard shouts and screams from the Indians, Screams and shouts from the townspeople, The smell of a barbecue burning wood.

The reason why he was still locked in the basement was because the believers took their weapons and ran towards the church as soon as they heard the bell ring.

A former military officer and one of the wealthiest men in town, Old Creed was chosen to be the commander of the church's defenses.

There was no way to get away and go home to let Victor out, and it was even more impossible for Mrs. Creed to go back alone.

Moreover, Old Creed and Mrs. Creed felt that the basement door, reinforced with iron sheets, should also be able to protect Victor.

After all, the Indians didn't go out to break into the basements of small-town residents. They came to kill and set fire to take revenge, not to rob.

What's more, it's a basement that's locked from the outside, and it's obvious that there's no one inside. They probably won't spend the energy to break it open and inspect it.

And with their son's high IQ, it is unlikely that he would actively expose himself to attract the attention of the Indians.

So in the end, both of them chose to stay in the church and wait with other residents of the town for rescue by US government troops.

Old Creed organized the men and began firing from windows and defensive lines at the Indians, who were attacking the church from all sides.

It has to be said that the men in the West are all good at marksmanship. After every few gunshots, an attacking Indian will fall.

As the distance to the church became closer, the proportion of Indians who fell due to gunshots became higher. But it's not just the church that has good shooters, either.

The Indians, who are at war with the Americans throughout the year, also have many problems, and because of the year-round hunting there are countless archers skilled with bows and arrows.

After the shooting, both sides suffered heavy losses, and the situation of the church people was even worse.

Because, after all, their number is very small compared to the Indians outside, and every time one person is wounded, one person is less. In the case of Indians who died outside, their companions immediately filled their void.

Fortunately, the noise here had already alerted the residents of another nearby town, and the residents of that town immediately sent people to the nearest US government garrison to call for help.

Of course, they also sent people to the outskirts of the town to observe the situation. After discovering that there were nearly 10,000 Indians here, they gave up the plan of organizing people to come to the rescue.

Even some timid residents have packed up their belongings and are ready to escape at any time. After all, they have left green hills and don't have to worry about running out of firewood.

As long as people are alive, everything will be there. As for the residents of the next town, I'm sorry. May God bless you. We devout people want to be useful in serving the Lord, so we will not die.

Even if there were relatives and friends there, because of the absolute disparity in numbers, they chose to wait for the arrival of the US military before going to the rescue together.

However, it was obvious that Old Creed and the others could not wait for rescue this time because they were in big trouble.

The Indians saw that the church could not be taken for long and they suffered heavy losses. If they continued to waste time like this, they would likely be surrounded and destroyed by US response forces. Therefore, the leader of India made a decision.

Send a group of death squads and use explosive barrels to open the door of the church or one of the walls to eliminate those rats hiding in the church once and for all.

"Quick! Aim your fire at the men holding the powder cases!'

Old Creed, who was at the commanding height, quickly discovered the Indian chief's plan and ordered everyone to fire on the Indian warriors who were holding the powder kegs.

He himself even threw a keg of powder, overturning the Indians in that direction and forcing them to retreat temporarily to recover.

However, the Indians quickly solved this problem. They lit a large fire nearby, then added wet wood and used thick smoke to obscure the shooters' view of the church.

Finally, a lucky Indian warrior ran to the window of the east wall of the church while three shots were fired.

Although this window has been blocked by heavy objects for a long time, it cannot stop an explosive barrel that can split mountains and rocks.

With a loud bang, a burst of fire shot into the sky, indicating that the fall of the church was finally only a matter of time.

The blasted east wall of the church quickly collapsed. The shooter above the wall fell to the ground and was half dead. He was then sent to see God by the Indians, who rushed in.

With the influx of Indians, the battle finally entered the stage of close combat. All active town residents in the church took up arms and began to resist.

After all, they knew that this time, the other party was not prepared to leave anyone alive. If they resisted, they would die. If they didn't, they would die. So why not resist until the end and maybe persist until rescue arrives?

But salvation from the American army did not come until the last man died.

Old Creed fought until the last moment with a gun in one hand and a knife in the other. He was not knocked down from the front, but a small Indian attacked him from behind with a spear.

Old Creed, stabbed in the kidney, then knocked down by a mob of Indians.As his consciousness faded, the last thing on his mind was his son Luther, who had been dead for many years. Smiling face.

Then it gradually changed to another face with a similar appearance.

"Victor, I hope you survive."

Mrs. Creed was happier. He was nearby when the east wall was blown up. They knocked her unconscious and buried her under a broken wall.

Later, the place was filled with corpses on both sides, so that it was later ignored by the Indians who were examining the corpses.

When the Indian guards in charge of the guard noticed the approach of the American army, the Indians shouted to gather their comrades and prepare to evacuate.

They have finally achieved their goal: they want to tell the enemies with blood that they will protect their homeland until the last moment of their lives.

When Victor heard the explosion of the blast tube, he thought something might have happened. The throbbing pain in his heart the moment Old Creed died made him realize that something might have happened to his parents.

Then he stretched out his sharp claws and began to attack the closed wooden door of the basement crazily. Although it was reinforced with iron sheets, it still couldn't stop his sharp claws.

The movement he caused also attracted a nearby Indian patrol team, just as Victor broke the basement door and rushed out.

He was hit by three arrows, but he pulled them out carelessly. Although there was blood all over the floor, he felt nothing. He just wanted to run to his parents and find out about their condition. What do you think

But before he took two steps, his head became dizzy, then his vision became dark and he didn't know anything else.
