"No wonder Fraser keeps saying you're the hardest man on board." Owen said, "but you still lost this one." He suddenly sat up straight from his chair without any injury. "Unfortunately, if the situation had not deteriorated to such a degree, I would not have used this move."
Owen said and stamped his feet, and then there was a fight outside the captain's room.
The boatswain grinned. "You don't really think I don't have a backup plan, do you? Edward teach is not here now. When he got off the ship, he took away most of the people who were willing to be loyal to you. Although there are so many people on this ship now, only five people on the deck are willing to obey your orders unconditionally. But I still have eleven people on my hand. Kill them If I kill you, my story will still make sense. It's just a little tortuous and needs to add an ending. What do you think of the end of Orff's killing in order to hide the bad news on the shore and keep his position
The battle outside the door ended faster than expected. Just as they spoke, they had already decided the outcome.
As soon as Owen's words came to an end, the door of the captain's room was pushed open, and his two men stood outside. However, their faces were not happy after the victory, but mixed with panic and disbelief, because they were carrying two short muskets on the back of their heads at the moment.
It's the first time Owen's face has changed greatly tonight. He knows his men's fighting power very well. Eleven men against five are unexpected. He can't lose in any way.
Orff then said, "you're very smart. You're one of the smartest people I've ever seen in my life. For so many years, you didn't show any footwork on the boat. You can feel our innermost strength clearly. We didn't start until we were the weakest when Dicky got off the boat. It's a pity that we almost won You forget about a group of people. "
Zhang Heng came in from the door. The general took the knife back to his waist. At the same time, he was accompanied by the group of old sailors who had been detained under the ship. They were escorting Owen's eleven men.
"It's you. How can it be?" Owen was surprised. "Are you Orff's people? Wait, what happened last night was that you were acting, and there was no note at all? "
"No, there are joint notes." Zhang Heng said, "Billy, they are really worried about Orff and Tiki's leadership of the ship, including the previous disposal of Goodwin, the heavy casualties on the ship and the excessive fanaticism of Kidd's treasure. They write down the questions they want to question Orff on the note, sign their names, and prepare to challenge the captain and the helmsman together, but they are carried away before they start Defected. Kent, one of the conveners, had a good relationship with Fraser, but in fact, he had already defected to Orff.
"On the surface, Kent, according to Fraser's instructions, united all the people who opposed Orff and teach, and encouraged them to challenge the authority of the captain and the helmsman, but behind his back, he told Orff the truth about their private activities. It was only after I discovered Kent's position that I wanted to understand a problem that has been bothering me for a long time. As early as Nassau Fraser visited me late at night and told me Kent's name, I already knew that Kent was not his person. "
Owen raised his eyebrows. "Oh?"
"Fraser just wanted to expose me to Orff. In fact, it's not just Orff who can't see what role I play in this matter. At the beginning, even I couldn't guess what role Fraser wanted me to play in this matter. He invested a lot in me, but he was generous and didn't ask for return. I was very curious for a time, if I didn't plan to follow the rules If he plays the script, won't he lose all his money? But then I realized that Fraser didn't care how I played in this game. He just needed someone to attract Orff's attention
"In a sense, the roles of Billy and I are the same. They are both the bait that Fraser put out to confuse the eyes. In order to lower Orff's vigilance and create opportunities for you, just because my relationship with him is more prominent. In order to deal with Orff and Dicky, Fraser did take another student, but that person is you, not me."
Zhang Heng pauses and then says, "let's talk about the note. It happened three days ago. Billy and Kent instigated them to write the note. Orff forced Elmer to write the thank-you letter you read and was ready to frame Billy and them. So according to the normal schedule, it should have happened three days ago."
"Why didn't it break out three days ago?"
"Because I stopped it." Zhang Heng said faintly, "to tell you the truth, I don't want to get involved in the grudge between you and Orff, but Fraser has gone too far. He not only takes advantage of me, but also plans to treat me as an abandoned son. I can't help it. I can only go to his army."
"Is that when you decided to join hands with Orff?"
"In view of our mutual trust, it was not an easy thing, but we tried to talk openly. Although the process was a little difficult, we finally reached a consensus."
"What do you want? Maybe I can give it to you, too. " Owen has not given up the last effort, trying to throw out the olive branch.Zhang Heng shook his head. "My request is very simple. Since Billy and they are disappointed in the boat, and Orff are not at ease with them, it's better to let them off the boat."
"I still don't understand why Orff would believe you and give you the right to be free tonight, so that he doesn't really worry that you are Fraser's student?"
"Because of that note." At this time, Orff on one side finally added, "last night's thing was not just to show you a play. There was a stain on their body when there was a piece of paper. There was only one way to get off the ship. Unless we killed all the remaining 60 people on the ship, we could not seize the ship at all. However, we had an agreement. After tonight, I would rehabilitate them and restore him The reputation of the people. "
Billy gave a cold hum and threw the prisoners in the corridor outside. "Remember your promise, we will not owe each other from now on. After that, he turned to Zhang Heng and said," we are waiting for you in the boat, captain. "
Zhang Heng nodded, "it's hard."
When they left, only Orff, Owen and Zhang Heng were left in the room.
Owen grinned suddenly. "Captain? Great, the biggest winner tonight is you. I know you plan to get off the ship after one year's expiration, but I didn't expect that even the crew have got together. Billy, they are all the most experienced old sailors on the ship. You saved them from Orff, and they will follow you wholeheartedly in the future. "
