Chapter 208

The waiting process is always long and tedious.

Except for the watchman in charge of the guard, the others on the ship had nothing to do during this period. Some people took a nap in the hammock, some people got together to boast, and some people were checking their weapons and praying.

Although Harry had been a bully in the street before, leading a group of kids and the kids in the next street to kill in darkness, it was the first time for him to face the serious fight. Annie thought that he would be scared to death with his greedy, afraid of death and bullying, but he didn't expect to find the latter. Although he looked nervous, he was more excited.

Harry was pestering the Quartermaster for a weapon.

"Mr. Dufresne, I can fight too. Captain Zhang Heng often says that when the battle starts, everyone has no way back?"

"What weapon do you want?"

"Muskets, close combat, I'm a little bit out of shape, but shooting from a distance is no problem." Harry is full of confidence.

"Have you ever practiced shooting before?"

"No, but as the saying goes, everyone has his first shot. Captain Zhang Heng's first shot was not very good."

"In fact, when I first met captain Zhang Heng, his shooting skills were incredible." After a pause, the Quartermaster said, "it's impossible to have a musket. I don't want to be shot from behind when charging."

"Don't be so mean. I won't shoot you."

"I doubt that."

Harry wanted to say something more, but when he saw the girl with red hair coming from a distance, it was like meeting a natural enemy. His face suddenly changed and he immediately wanted to leave.

But Anne stopped her after only two steps. The latter said seriously, "Mr. Dufresne, is Harry making trouble for you again?"

"No, on the contrary, Mr. Harry helped me a lot in the morning and worked with me to figure out our weapons reserves on board." The Quartermaster's reply made Harrington look sad again.

"So." Anne turned her lips.

Harry is speechless. What's your undisguised regret tone? Is it a pity that you can't find a reason to beat me?!

of course, he only dared to make complaints about this kind of words, and then listened to Anne and said, "come with me."

Harry followed the redhead all the way to the kitchen, a place he was not unfamiliar with, because recently he was peeling potatoes here and almost vomited. Annie said, "when the battle starts, you will stay here with Mr. Ramsey, and come out when the battle is over."

"Ha."

"Ha?" The girl with red hair picked her eyebrows.

Harry quickly explained, "in advance, I don't mean to be dissatisfied, but I have washed the toilet for such a long time according to your requirements after I got on the ship. I almost cut off my fingers by chipping potatoes. I think maybe I can take on more responsibilities."

"There seems to be some truth in what you say." Annie threw the dagger around her waist to Harry. "When the battle begins, stay here and protect yourself and Mr. Ramsey."

"But what's the difference?" Harry's eyes widened.

"What difference do you want." Asked the redhead.

"For example Let me stay on deck? " Harry pleaded, "this is my first time to go out to sea to fight. Please, boss Annie, how else can I tell the others when I go back? I'll stay in the cabin like a coward when I go to war."

After that, he felt something was wrong. Harry turned to the chef and apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Ramsay. I'm not aiming at you."

The latter is very generous, waved, "it doesn't matter, you're not the first, and you won't be the last."

"The real fight is not as simple as taking a group of kids to fight in the street. You want to join the fight together. It's OK, but it will take two years." Annie was unmoved.

On the other side, Zhang Heng was playing with the shells in his hands in the captain's room.

He had carried it with him for three weeks, during which there was no abnormal phenomenon. At first, he thought it was because he was on land, but now that he was on the sea, the Celtic ancient god who called himself Betty never came to him.

In addition, Zhang Heng also asked Annie to arrange a hand to keep an eye on Seth, who was the first person on the ship to come into contact with this thing. Zhang Heng was not sure whether the Celtic ancient god named Betty would still affect him.

However, after so many days, Seth also seemed very quiet, did not make any suspicious moves, he seemed to be completely free from this matter, and returned to the previous state of life.

Zhang Heng is not in a hurry. At present, apart from giving his admirers the power to manipulate the storm, Zhang Heng doesn't know what other means they have, so it's not too late to wait until the wooden box of the Tule tree arrives.So the first day passed in peace.

In the morning of the next day, everything was as usual. The weather was fine and the sea was calm. The Spanish treasure ship still didn't show up. In the afternoon, when the crowd was about to lose their breath, the watchman finally found something.

Zhang Heng also raised the copper telescope in his hand. At first, there were only three black spots in the distance. He could not see what they were, but as time went on, Zhang Heng could see the Spanish flag flying on the mast.

At this time, the observation point on parrot island also used the mirror to send messages to the two pirate ships outside.

"Here comes the goal. Get ready." Zhang Heng put the telescope away.

Billy led the sailors back to their posts. At the same time, the Jackdaw also raised the black flag. However, the next moment, Zhang Heng and several old sailors on board raised their heads together.

Billy frowned as the southeast breeze changed to the southwest, which meant that it would take more time for them to get close to the treasure ship. In other words, they might suffer longer artillery fire.

But now the distance between the two sides is very close, and there is no way to adjust it at this time. Zhang Heng stood in the bow, holding the cable in one hand and the sabre in the other hand, and gave the order to fight, "adjust the sail, and rush through as fast as possible!"

Because they have previewed the possible situation in advance, everyone on the Jackdaw knows that this battle is just a bait to attract the pursuit from the opposite side, so the key to success or failure is not how much damage they bring to the opposite side, but whether they can withstand the fire from the opposite side. Therefore, in addition to the person at the helm, the carpenter on the ship is the most pressure.

They've got wood and tools ready in advance, and they're on standby, ready to fix the ship's holes.
