Chapter 231

Nine days have passed since the previous battle.

The Navy's fleet suddenly appeared outside the harbor in the middle of the carnival, which made the unexpected pirates suffer a great loss. At that time, there was chaos on the beach. At the call of black Prince Sam, Brooke and some other people who didn't drink too much and could move freely launched a brave counterattack to the Navy.

However, their actions have been unable to change the final result. Brooke is another group of people who separated from black Prince Sam. they successfully boarded a pirate ship, and also used the ship's artillery to launch an attack on the opposite naval fleet. However, their attack lasted only two rounds, and their ship was sunk.

Some of the people on board were buried at the bottom of the sea, while Brooke and other people swam back to the shore and retreated into the woods. Soon after, they met a second wave of people who had retreated. At the same time, they also dragged the drunk people on the beach into the woods. However, because of the time constraint, they were under fire all the time, and finally brought back less than one fifth of them.

In addition to the people who died in the battle, Brooke now looks around. There are less than 100 people left in the six pirate ships that went to sea together.

And after nine days of being short of food and clothing, all of them became extremely weak.

Because the retreat was too hasty, they took almost nothing with them when they retreated into the forest. Most of the food and fresh water were put on the ship. As the battle sank to the bottom of the sea, Brooke certainly knew what the naval men were paying attention to. Maybe soon, the enemy would land and force them to fight a final battle, but now he lost the chance that the ship was trapped on the island They can do nothing about it.

Although parrot island is not small, there is no fresh water on the island. These days, they can only lick the dew on the rock wall like those goats to quench their thirst, or suck the wet soil, so that their mouths are full of earthy smell, and Brooke's lips have been cracked.

Fortunately, last night, they successfully captured a goat, not only each of them got a piece of mutton, but also drank sheep's blood, alleviating part of the hunger and thirst, but a goat is just a drop in the bucket for a team of nearly 100 people.

Moreover, the number of goats on parrot island is also limited. They have hunted a considerable part of them for the party before, and now it is becoming more and more difficult to catch. This goat is also the only one they have caught in the last two days.

In addition to the lack of food and water, drugs, ammunition and weapons are also a headache.

Now nearly 100 people have only 20 long muskets and eight short muskets in their hands. Even daggers, machetes and other melee weapons can't be used one by one. The remaining bullets are still consumed when hunting, and there is no medicine at all. The wounded can only survive and die after simple bandaging. It can be said that they are at the end of their tether.

Of course, the most serious blow is the morale. At this stage, people can't see where the future is. When they go to bed at night, they listen to the groans of the injured people around them. Many people's nerves that have been tense all the time have completely collapsed. Some people can't stand the atmosphere of despair and jump into the sea. Almost every day there are people who commit suicide.

Brooke got up from the ground and handed the last piece of mutton to Eric, the black helmsman of the Vader not far away, who had hardly eaten in the past eight days. He sat alone under the big tree with empty eyes, no different from a stone.

When the black Prince Sam fell into his arms, the pirate leader, who made the whole Caribbean panic, cried like a child. He even forgot that he was still in a battle, so he held the body tightly until the warrior sank and he would not let go.

Fortunately, the crew of the Vader pulled him ashore when he was about to drown. The first thing Eric did when he woke up was to look for the body of black Prince Sam. when he learned that the body had been washed away by the sea, he became what he is now.

Even if Brooke passed the food to his mouth, he didn't respond.

Brooke said hoarsely, "if you don't find a way to live, you'll never get revenge for him."

Hearing this, the black helmsman finally had an expression on his gray face. He opened his mouth and said in a weak voice, "revenge How can we do it? "

"I don't know, but if I give up at this time, it's really over."

"You don't seem to have much comforting experience, do you?"

"I've tried my best. If you are still determined to die, I don't have any opinions. After all, it's not a bad thing to eat with one mouth less under the current situation." Brooke shrugged.

"Or is there only one boat out there?" Eric took two bites of mutton, recovered a little bit, and finally turned his attention to the situation.

"Yes, it seems that the Jackdaw managed to escape that night. That's why the Navy sent other ships out to pursue."

"I can't believe they can break through the blockade under such circumstances."

"This should be regarded as a rare good news these days, but it's still useless for us." Brooke said with a wry smile, "if only there was a boat, we would not have no hope of any boat."While they were talking, the pirate, who was in charge of monitoring the movement of ships outside the island, suddenly yelled, "ship found in the distance!"

Brooke and Eric looked at each other. They all knew that when all the ships out chasing the Jackdaw came back, it was time for the navy to land and launch a general attack.

This also means that there is not much time left for them, but there is not much fear on the faces of the pirates. The days on the island are getting harder and harder. Compared with the desperate waiting here, they would rather die in the battle.

But just as Brooke and Eric were ready to call for the final battle, the pirate in charge of the guard had a look of disbelief on his face and yelled.

"It's jackdaw, jackdaw, jackdaw is back!"

"Are you captured?" Brooke can hardly believe that the Jackdaw will return. It's incredible that he can escape after taking over the telescope and changing his position in Zhang Heng. He asked himself that he would never return to parrot island. What's more, jackdaw doesn't know the current situation of parrot island and can't risk being besieged.

However, as if in answer to his question, the next moment jackdaw did not hesitate to raise the black flag.
