Zhang Heng is also on the other side of the deck quietly watching the distant fire.
Even though he had been through a cruel war before, it was still difficult for him to adapt to the pure slaughter.
Killing a group of surrendering sailors with guns is totally different from solving the enemy in battle
but now the ship has been firmly held by helmsman Orff and captain titch, not to mention the interests of the whole ship. Zhang Heng knows that even if he speaks, he can't change anything.
At first, Simon was with him in the snow forest of Finland, but now he has only one Malvern.
This time, for the first time, the farmer's son was no longer frightened. On the contrary, there was a faint sense of excitement in his small eyes.
Zhang Heng had to remind him, "it's no use killing all these navies now. Your portraits have been pasted in various ports, and you've got the identity of a pirate."
Malvern's eyes darkened, and he said, "it's over. I heard that except Nassau, the way to deal with pirates is almost the same. As soon as I find out, I will be hanged directly. I can't inherit my father's farm any more. Can I only be a cook on a pirate ship for the rest of my life?"
But before long, he regained his spirits. "Fortunately, there's Kidd's treasure. As long as I can find that treasure, even if I can't go back to the civilized world, I can live happily in Nassau. I don't have to risk being killed to go out to sea. Maybe I can marry some beautiful wives."
Zhang Heng didn't have the heart to break the dream of the farmer's son. Looking at the sinking sea lion in the distance, he finally figured out a problem he hadn't understood before.
Zhang Heng has realized that Kidd's treasure is probably just a lie. Orff uses this carefully fabricated lie to control the pirates on the ship so as to achieve his goal. However, what he has never understood is why the latter has to command the people to shake the Navy several times in recent months. Such behavior has no benefit to him at all.
Not long ago, Orff ordered to fire on the 400 British marines on the sea lion who had been handed over their weapons. Although he had a good reason and covered it up well, Zhang Heng caught a touch of hatred in his eyes.
Zhang Heng suddenly understood that Orff's challenge to the Royal Navy was not to achieve any intention. His goal was the Royal Navy itself, or in the Navy.
Under normal circumstances, pirates will not provoke the Navy. This kind of thankless thing can not pass the final vote.
Now, however, the treasure map, which is divided into six parts, has become six death charms. Orff is using this method to induce the pirates to attack the selected targets for him.
Unfortunately, the people on board did not realize that what they were embarking on was not a journey to find treasure and wealth, but a complete revenge journey directed by the captain and the helmsman.
All these inferences are based on Zhang Heng's observation and analysis, and there is no evidence in his hand to prove this. Today's Queen Anne's revenge is almost all like Malvern's fanatics who are dazzled by the treasure. Considering the difficulties they once faced, they have come to this step. After paying so much, even if there are many in their hearts Doubt, will also refuse to believe.
And this is the most powerful place of Orff, now everything is under his control, he is only one step away from his ultimate goal.
The last step.
And now is also his highest vigilance, at this critical moment, he will not allow anyone to destroy his plan.
Smoke and gunfire gradually dispersed in the sea, the setting sun sank into the horizon, Zhang Heng on the side of the ship felt something, looked back and saw the old helmsman under the mast, their eyes crossed, Orff nodded at him, pointed to his head and said, "the sea breeze is coming, can you please go up and check the sails?"
"All right." Zhang Heng agreed without much hesitation, gave his saber and weapon to the farmer's son, and then climbed up the mast in front of Orff. He moved quickly, and soon climbed to the top. Then he rushed to the old helmsman and said, "everything is normal."
Orff's eyes flashed a look of surprise. He thought Zhang Heng would be wary of him. After all, the easiest way for a sailman to have an accident is to do something on the cable. With the distance between the top of the mast and the deck, once he falls down, he will be dead.
But even if he can think about it, he probably can't imagine that Zhang Heng still has a shadow moment on his body. Zhang Heng increasingly finds the good use of this prop, such as falling from a height. He can easily avoid injury as long as he enters the shadow state, so he doesn't need to worry about what Orff does on the rope when climbing.
Zhang Heng discovered a habit of the latter about the black gunner before. He likes to create an environment full of oppression to observe the target's reaction, and Zhang Heng can be sure that his current reaction will make the other party confused.
"Hard work, Roscoe will be proud of you." Orff's face didn't look any different. He politely expressed his thanks and then went to check other places.One side of the Malvern did not even see what is wrong with their performance.
Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to get off the mast. At the beginning, he went to Roscoe to learn how to control the sail, just because he thought that he might use this skill as a captain in the future. But after a period of time, he gradually fell in love with this job.
When you are at the top, you can always see some scenery that you can't see.
It has been eleven months since he came to this world. In addition to his points and skills, his skin has also been bronzed because of the calluses on his long-term climbing rope hands. More importantly, he has gradually got used to the life on the ship.
Compared with later generations, the sea in the 18th century is more mysterious and magnificent.
There is a lack of everything here, but there is no lack of adventure and challenge.
Now he is ready to sail as a captain, but before that he will spend his last month on Queen Anne's revenge.
I'm afraid this month will not be peaceful.
Orff's Revenge journey has taken the last step, while Fraser is still silent, but no one will ignore this old fox. Zhang Hengcai will not believe that he left only a carpenter's eye on the boat, and the two sides really wrestled in Charleston.
At this time, Zhang Heng in the middle is undoubtedly the most dangerous, but this is not an opportunity for him.
