Chapter 131

"Sorry, I didn't disturb your celebration." Orff said. At the same time, he glanced over a group of pirates. Some of the guys who stood close to the side wanted to sneak away. But then he heard the old helmsman say, "don't worry. I'm not here to investigate your absence. After all, we just won a very beautiful fight. I want to say that I'm honored to fight with you side by side. It's a good time to be here There's nothing wrong with your indulgence, right

As soon as he said this, all the pirates were relieved, and returned to the noisy atmosphere before. Some people made fun of the fact that Orff was nearly shot to death by a rookie sailor in the previous battle.

Orff laughed and scolded. After a while, he said again, "I think I heard someone say they want to have a big fight just now?"

Hearing the words, the pirate stood up and said, "Mr. Orff, we all want to know when we will get a vote. With this ship, we can take any prey now!"

His words immediately led to a burst of applause and harmony. It's every man's dream to drive a warship like Scarborough to fight. Although the injuries on his body are not so sharp, many people can't help itching.

"Good. Let's try the power of these big guns." Orff said with satisfaction.

"Now?" The pirates are puzzled. The battle is over, and there are no other prey around them. How can we test the power of the cannons and hit the air?

"Who said we didn't have a target?" Orff pointed to the sea lion in the distance. "Isn't that a ready-made target?"

The latter is now floating on the sea, looking a little listless. The deck is crowded with the British navy who have been taken away their weapons. Most of them look down, and some people's eyes are full of confusion. Up to now, they can't understand how the war was lost. What's more, they don't know what fate will be waiting for them when they go back.

This voyage not only resulted in heavy casualties, such as the loss of the Scarborough and the death of the first mate, but also the robbery of the captain. The opponent was not a regular army, but just a group of pirates. In the past, they were just the goods beaten by them. This was the biggest shame in the history of the whole Royal Navy. Now they were nailed to the ship People on the stigma column.

Looking at the Scarborough not far away, many people couldn't help crying.

On the other hand, on the second deck of Queen Anne's revenge, the pirates fell into silence.

The civilized world regards them as beasts and villains. These guys don't object to this view, and they are even a little complacent, because only strong enough people can survive in this sea area.

They are accompanied by storms. Every time they go to sea, they have to face the threat of the Navy, reefs, pirates, hunters, and even other pirates. The weak will be eliminated, leaving behind fearless warriors. They regard the queen and the law as nothing, but that doesn't mean they have no taboos.

As men, they attach great importance to commitment. Before, their captain had promised the opposite crew that as long as the Navy laid down their weapons, they would not hurt them. But now Orff has to tear up this commitment and let them fire on a group of unarmed people who have surrendered.

It was hard for them to accept. After a long silence, someone could not help saying, "we have never done such a thing before. Is this the captain's order?"

"Is it good for me to forge an order?" Orff showed up.

"According to the rules, we only need to accept the captain's orders unconditionally in the battle," another said. "Now that the battle is over, I think it can be voted on."

"Don't be silly. Do you know the consequences of letting these people go back? Soon every port will know that the Scarborough is in the hands of pirates. They will recruit people and build batteries. Do you think belomont will go to Charleston to attend his daughter's wedding? It's not so easy to catch such a big man after missing this opportunity. "

Orff frowned, "we can't take such a risk. What the captain said before is just to stabilize the situation. After all, we are at a disadvantage in terms of number. It's impossible for more than 100 exhausted people to capture more than 400 soldiers armed to the teeth without any stratagem. Gentlemen, don't forget what the purpose of our fight is, if not Why should we take such a big risk to seize the ship when we get rid of the treasure? "

The last words of the old helmsman finally moved the pirates on the deck. They paid an unimaginable price all the way to find Kidd's treasure. The first group of people are now less than one-third. If they fail because of a moment's weakness, no one can accept the consequences of this kind of thing.

…………

The last boat with sailors was close to the sea lion. The people on the deck dropped the ladder to pick up the people below. Anyway, compared with the dead comrades in arms, the ones who are still alive are undoubtedly lucky.

Although the future of losing this post-war war is uncertain, as long as they can survive, there is still hope. At this time, the gap between officers and sailors is much less. The Quartermaster is distributing the biscuits with worms inside, and the captain's room is also given to the wounded. However, at this time, the crowd suddenly rioted.Because they saw the Scarborough not far away suddenly open its muzzle, like a deep-sea beast showing its sharp teeth.

"God The basket in the Quartermaster's hand fell to the ground. Biscuits were scattered everywhere. He opened his mouth wide and his eyes were full of despair.

At the same time, panic is spreading on the deck at an incredible speed. The sailors are driven by instinct to flee in a hurry. However, there is a vast sea around them, and they don't know where they can escape. The only small group of people who are still sober and rational want to untie the rope and raise the sail, but it's too late.

No one knows the range of those guns better than these people on the ship.

Edward teach stood quietly in the captain's room, looking at the sea lion submerged by gunfire. It was like a ragged toy, beaten and ravaged by a wayward child, and finally turned into pieces.

The volley lasted for five minutes. When it was over, there was only the burning sea, and half of the broken mast rose and fell with the waves.

"It's a pity that God is not here today."
