Chapter 136

Orff's face was uncertain in the night, a result he had never thought of.

It's like the cruelest joke that revenge, which has been schemed for 14 years, ends in such a hasty way after paying so much. If Tiki is still there, he may be willing to consider giving up this action and waiting for the next chance.

But now he's the only one left, and Orff is not sure if he can survive on this road.

He is getting old, and his skills are degenerating every day. Time can bring him experience and wisdom, but it can't make up for his lost youth. Now when he goes to bed at night, his waist and legs are aching, and it's more and more difficult to cope with every battle, and his wounds are healing more and more slowly.

So he knows there won't be a better chance. Tonight is the best chance he can get.

Although Tiki failed, the battle is not over. He has Queen Anne's revenge, 90 guns and nearly 70 sailors on board. If he can organize well, there is not a chance.

The problem is that once what happens on the shore spreads all over the ship, the pirates on board will definitely demand that the ship leave immediately.

Fortunately, Owen and the 11 men he brought back are the only ones who know about this. Most of the pirates are on standby in front of the guns on the second deck because of his previous orders. A few pirates on the first deck are Orff's own confidants.

Orff was silent for a moment, and said to one of the pirates, "go and tell the people below that everything is normal, and let them prepare according to the original plan

Owen was stunned and said, "Mr. Orff, as the boatswain on board, I can't turn a blind eye to your cheating on the crew."

Orff then looked around at the others. "Can you give us some time?" Then he extended his hand to Owen. "How is your health? Can you get up? Let's go to the captain's room. I need to know the situation in detail before I can make the final decision."

The latter hesitated and finally stood up with the help of the old helmsman.

They came to the captain's room. Orff closed the door and brought a chair for Owen to sit down. Then they said, "when and where were you attacked?"

"What's the point of discussing this kind of thing now?" Owen said with a wry smile, but he still answered the old helmsman's question, "the battle started about 20 minutes ago, one block away from the governor's house. We basically fought and retreated, and in order to get away, we finally set fire to a hotel."

"You said Elmer was killed in the first place, which means no one knows what your real purpose is." Orff pondered for a moment, "if such a thing happens, the wedding will certainly be postponed. Belomont will not leave. After a while, the garrison will attack us. We will fight back first. We can make them taste some sweetness and attract all the defenders. Then we will send 20 people. No, only 15 people will be enough. We can touch the city and take belomont away 。”

"I'm afraid you've lost your mind now. We've lost. There are not enough people on board to complete your plan. And even if you can get 15 people out on the premise of attracting garrison fire, there is no suitable person to lead them." Owen shook his head.

"I'll do it."

"What?"

"I said I would lead them." Orff said with a big stomach, "what, do you think I'm too old to fight any more?"

"I hope you can restore your old wisdom, rather than try your best to put the ship and the people on board into a more dangerous situation." "What we need to do now is to accept defeat and get out of here, instead of adding to a hopeless gamble," he asked

"Interesting." Orff said suddenly, "you have mentioned that we have failed three times in just five minutes."

The boatswain frowned. "Isn't that normal? If you didn't want me to cooperate with your crazy plan, I wouldn't repeat this question all the time."

Orff ignored the answer and continued, "your eyes have been looking at the clock at least four times since you came in. Why, are you in a hurry?"

Owen was somewhat helpless. "I can understand your feelings after the failure of tonight's operation. I have just witnessed the captain being shot. At this moment, I am as sad as you, but suspicion can not make us through the present difficulties. The earlier we leave here, the less loss we will suffer."

"Let me guess why you are in such a hurry," Orff said faintly. "Is it because if we wait, we will find that there is no garrison chasing you? Or do you worry that the captain will come back suddenly and expose your lies

The helpless smile at the corner of Owen's mouth finally faded away. This time, he did not speak again.

"It's the first time I've known you for a long time that I've found that your acting skills are so good." Orff said with emotion, "I have to admit that I was almost cheated by you. Do you want to know where I showed my feet?"Owen raised his eyebrows. "I'd like to hear it."

"I've read your list of the 50 men advance team. You said you were with Dickie at the beginning of the battle, but all the 11 people you brought back were from your own group. None of them were from Dickie's group. It's a coincidence."

Orff pauses and goes on, "your plan for tonight is almost perfect. When the 50 men of the advance team come ashore, they are disconnected from the ship. After you leave with your confidants, you immediately forge the traces of the battle and kill those who don't belong to you in the team. However, all of a sudden, you come back covered with blood and tell us that the operation has failed. At this time, it's absolutely impossible Most people will not hesitate to believe you. You know what reaction the crew will have after hearing this news. They will almost certainly choose to leave here immediately, so that you can eliminate the biggest threat on board without any effort. "

"But without Dicky, you are the most popular choice for the captain. I've spent so much effort just to let you replace Dicky as the captain. It's not worth it." Owen asked.

"Me? No, I've never been your threat. The failure of tonight's operation will cause a series of reactions. Someone must be responsible for such a heavy casualty. As long as you are not stupid enough, you will firmly grasp this point and challenge me. Let alone the captain, I can't even be the helmsman. "
