Chapter 173

    Robey escarpment.


    This cliff is broken across the southern sea of the kahavi Peninsula, with an altitude of 30-70 meters and a slope of 60-110 degrees. Looking down from the sky, most of the continuous hills are destroyed by the boring gods, leaving only the section at the foot of the mountain to form a natural seawall.


    Its real name can''t be found in any information at all. Only because the villa of Robey manor was built at the top of the cliff in front of us, Lorraine named it casually.


    After all, with naming, everything will become much more convenient.


    Luobei steep cliff is 52.4 meters high and 82 degrees in slope. It is almost straight and abrupt. At the bottom, there is a stone beach composed of schist blocks and broken reefs. It extends from the cliff to more than 100 meters in the sea area. Large ships can''t get close at all.


    Submarines have no problems.


    The maximum draft of this flat bottomed boat with the function of lifeboat is only half a meter. The narrow body can drill into most channels. The pure paddle power is also convenient to control the forward and backward and ship speed, and even can easily turn around in situ


    In short, it is a ship born for such complex waters.


    Relying on the moonlight, Lorraine soon found a secret channel in the stone beach. The fleet went around the channel and advanced more than 50 meters. The road ahead was finally cut off.


    "Next, walk."


    Glancing at the cliff close at hand, Lorraine slowly raised his arm.


    "All land, drag the submachine boat ashore, select the protruding reef and tie it up."


    He jumped out of the boat and waded into a flat, smooth rock.


    "Acharin, together with Lieutenant Sheffield, broke up the sailors and sailors and formed a team to teach the land ducks how to move on the reef as soon as possible. Ask for silence and no open fire. In addition, take the rigging and rope ladder."


    "Yes!"


    The team got busy in silence and gathered on the stone beach with one belt and two.


    Rashid leaned over with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and his face was full of unhappy expressions: "rock climbing, President Drake, in fact, you guessed the result before you set out?"


    "What answer are you looking forward to?" Lorraine stretched his arm. "Before you set out, you got the authorization of the governor and formulated a plan that can withstand deliberation. There is no problem with this plan. The beach is indeed more suitable for the advance team to land than the cliff. If you avoid the rising tide or change the members of the advance team into sailors who are used to wind and waves, everything will be perfect."


    "However, these two points cannot be avoided. The best time to launch a night attack is 1 a.m. excluding the boating time, 11 p.m. is the most appropriate departure time; you have soldiers you trust, and you won''t choose unfamiliar sailors in the selection of key advance team members."


    "In this case, the lieutenant general is not suitable to question your plan, and major Collinwood and I have no position to point out the lack of your plan. In the final analysis, our trust is very limited, we have no actual experience to testify, and no one can guarantee whether you can correctly interpret the suggestions from the Navy."


    "So..." Lorraine grinned at Rashid. "You can take rock climbing as your backup plan B, because our goal is always the same, win and go back alive."


    Rashid stared straight at Lorraine: "President Drake, I don''t like you, or I hate you very much."


    "Probably... Anyway, there was no need for us to unite sincerely."


    "Yes, just cooperate happily. Then, Mr. deputy commander, what should the so-called Plan B do..."


    ……


    "Pay attention to your feet! Try not to step on dark sharp rocks! There is the rising tide line, there may be moss, and there may be dry and greasy seaweed!"


    "The reef is very sharp. Every fall may let you see God, so avoid all possible dangers and follow the steps ahead! The sailors'' judgment is much more reliable than your sudden whim. Learn to listen and rely!"


    "Silence, follow! Rookies, stone beach is the territory of the sea, not as gentle as land!"


    The team of more than 100 people walked slowly on the rugged stone beach, because they didn''t know whether there was a night guard on the cliff. They were not allowed to light a torch or make a loud noise. All the instructions were carried out in a whispering way, messy and buzzing, and there was no trained style at all.


    Their travel distance is only 50 meters, but in the dark night with unclear vision, in order to avoid possible dangerous areas, their actual route is much more tortuous and long than a straight line.


    After walking 50 meters for nearly 20 minutes, Lorraine''s hand finally touched the cold rock wall.


    "That''s it." he raised his hand and ordered the whole advance team to stop and rest close to the cliff. Lorraine patted the protruding stone in front of him, bent down to untie the rigging, wrapped a big hole with a sailor''s knot, and strayed obliquely over his shoulder. "Haina, you go first and get rid of the sentry who might find us. I''ll follow you."


    "Be careful." Haina nodded and jumped. Her body was firmly absorbed on the cliff like a gecko.


    Her slender hands and feet were wide open, clinging to the boulder and dancing upward.


    After about five minutes, Lorraine spit in her palm, and began to climb up along Haina''s path.


    This task is not very difficult. Luobei cliff is a natural shale structure. There are not many weeds and cliff trees on the cliff, but there are countless locations. The only risk is that no one can guarantee that the next boulder is real or virtual. In case it is virtual, Lorraine will fall down with the stone at the same time, and the dry rock will be crisp and fall into meat mud.


    He had to concentrate. Every time he chose a new foothold, he had to catch it and step on it and step on it, lest he encounter a trap.


    Climbing cautiously for nearly 15 meters, he suddenly heard the wind overhead.


    As soon as he looked up, a dark figure was falling from the sky at a very high speed and hitting his forehead.


    Even if he couldn''t see what the shadow was, Lorraine could know that once he was hit by it, he would be unlucky.


    Avoid it!


    Subconsciously, he attached the whole person to the cliff. In his eyes, there was only a raised stone on his right side. Suddenly, he jumped!


    In this jump, Lorraine straddled a distance of nearly three meters in mid air. The ape arm stretched out, firmly grasped the target Boulder, shook, and watched the dark shadow wipe past in front of him and fall to the bottom of the cliff, making a dull sound of flesh touching the ground.


    An uncontrollable scream came from the dark bottom of the cliff.


    "It''s dangerous..."


    Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief. His right arm forced his body to turn to the cliff again. He reached his toes and soon found a new foothold.


    Haina looked at him with her head on the cliff.


    The bright moon is on her back. From the perspective of Lorraine, Haina''s whole face is hidden in the shadow, completely unable to distinguish the outline and expression, but her emerald eyes are still shining, full of worry and self blame, so that people can recognize her identity at a glance.


    Lorraine raised her hand and made a [no harm] gesture to Haina. Haina''s shoulder trembled slightly, as if relieved. She lay down on the edge of the cliff, stretched out her arms, and danced the flag to Lorraine.


    [three sentinels and two patrol dogs are all cleared. It was the dog that fell down just now. There was an accident in the process of clearing, but it didn''t disturb the villa. I''m relieved]


    [it''s far away from me] Lorraine uses one arm to choose words that can be expressed, [keep alert, I''m coming up].
