Chapter 135

There are 17 names on the list. Except for Zhang Heng, none of them have ever complained with the lame old pirates about the captain or helmsman. Most of them are old people on the ship. Many of them have been out of the sea with Fraser.

The pirates were divided on their punishment. Some of the radicals advocated killing the traitors, but more people thought exile was more appropriate. During the quarrel, Billy insisted that the paper had been swapped. But at this time, the war was approaching and there was no time to investigate the truth. Finally, Orff came forward and decided to temporarily imprison the 17 people at the bottom We'll wait until the end of the fighting tomorrow for follow-up investigation.

When Owen read out Zhang Heng's name, the farmer's son quietly moved his butt to open the distance between him and Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng was not angry. If Malvin didn't do this, it would not be Malvin.

Seventeen people were taken to the bottom of the cabin. With the iron door closed, the matter finally came to an end.

Queen Anne's revenge was moored twenty miles from Charleston for the night.

The next afternoon, all the pirates on board changed into Navy uniforms, and Elmer, the former captain of the Scarborough, was finally brought out of the dark cabin.

Half a month later, he was haggard. He was not as dashing as he was when he first met him. He was ragged and bearded. Seeing the long lost sunshine outside, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

Orff came up to him and asked, "do you remember what I taught you before?"

The Lord nodded busily, "I'm Elmer Anderson, captain of the Scarborough. Our ship was in a storm while cruising, so we went back to the harbor to repair it within a month. I heard that the daughter of Earl belomont, governor of New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire was married, so I took people to the city to congratulate."

After a pause, he added in a flattering way, "in fact, it's not so troublesome. There's no one in the new world who can't recognize the Navy Royal Scarborough. No one will dare to question us. Besides, count belomont and I have known each other for a long time."

"I know you're old acquaintances. Don't worry. You'll be together soon." Orff said meaningfully.

Elmer thought Orff meant that he and belomont would be arrested. He looked embarrassed. After all, what he is doing is not very authentic, which is equivalent to pitching belomont. But friendship is not as important as his own life. What's more, Orff also promised that as long as he cooperated well, he would find a time to let it go after this thing is over He.

"Take him down for a bath and change his clothes. The captain of the great Scarborough can't be so sloppy." The pirate Road on the other side of Orff.

Then the old helmsman opened the door of the captain's room and said to the man behind the wooden table, "it's time."

The latter stood up and his appearance changed a lot. He was wearing a black triangle hat, a long red jacket and a belt around his waist. The most important thing was that his iconic black beard had been shaved clean. Now he was like a different person, from a pirate leader to a valiant Navy The government.

Orff was stunned and sighed, "for many years, I thought I would never see you in this dress again."

"It's better to forget some things." Edward teach said faintly as he picked up his Sabre and musket.

"I still don't know whether what we are doing is right or wrong. If he is still alive, he will not want to see you become what you are today."

"If you're going to be nostalgic, you'd better hurry up, because today I'll clean up all my old debts."

…………

Fifty people soon assembled on the deck. Owen saw that Dicky, who came out of the captain's room, was also stunned. Then he nodded to the latter, "people have been chosen. They are all good hands on the ship."

Dicky looked up at the sunset and said to Elmer, who was at the front of the line, "let's go."

Orff stood in the bow of the boat and watched the fifty men climb onto the dock. As Elmer said, they disguised themselves as the navy of Scarborough and entered the city without any interrogation.

Orff didn't leave the deck until they disappeared. The old helmsman knew that the war had begun, and he had to play his part.

At night. Orff sat alone in the captain's room, looking at the floor clock in front of him.

With half an hour to go before the appointed time, he went over what happened today in his mind according to his usual habit, and confirmed that there was no omission, but somehow there was always a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

The next moment a fire broke out in Charleston, and something was burning in the dark.

Orff was stunned at the sight.

Did the people in the city start it? But why was the time half an hour earlier, and the order was not right. According to the original plan, Queen Anne's revenge should have started shelling first on this side to create confusion and panic, and then started to start on the other side. Was it because something happened in the middle that forced them to start ahead of time?The fire was also seen by the pirates on the deck. Someone rushed to the captain's room and asked the old helmsman, "Mr. Orff, what are we going to do now? Do you want to fire for support?"

Orff was also a little uncertain. If the fire had nothing to do with them, the early firing might make the 50 people who were not ready on the shore fall into passivity, so he thought about it and said, "let the Gunners take their positions first, wait for my order."

At this time, the pirates with sharp eyes saw a group of Marines running out of the city. The group ran all the way to the boat beside the wharf, and could not wait to jump on it. Then they rowed to Queen Anne's revenge.

"It's our people."

Seeing the flag from the bow, the pirates immediately lowered the ladder without Orff's command.

The team led by Irving, the boatswain, came back, but there were only twelve left, and almost all of them were covered with blood. Irving's belly was wrapped with gauze, and he was carried onto the ship. The first sentence when he saw Orff was, "we failed! Elmer informed the city's garrison in a way we didn't know. We were ambushed and had to disperse to escape. "

"And the captain?" Orff felt nervous when he heard the words.

"Captain He was the first to realize that it was wrong. He shot Elmer, but then he was hit by at least six bullets. Sorry, we didn't get his body back Owen said sadly, and the eleven pirates behind him bowed their heads in pain as they recalled the scene.

"Mr. Orff, now that the captain is gone, it's up to you. We can't delay any longer. The garrison in the city already knows that the Scarborough is in our hands. Soon the fort on the city wall will open fire on us. The capture of belomont has failed. We have no reason to meet the garrison. Order to retreat."
