Chapter 60

A sharp, long battle horn sounded.

Charles did not hesitate to give the order to fight. The Clippers belonging to the Warwick pirates broke out in the shortest time and rushed to the cartani ships that kept throwing bodies at the cities behind them.

Captain Hawkins, who is usually idle, catches Charles who is going to the ship building: "write to your majesty at once!"

"I'll command the battle!"

With that, he pushed Charles back to the cabin, threw away the wine pot in his hand, and drew out the dagger hanging from his waist with his backhand. He stepped on the side of the boat, which swayed slightly in the night tide, quickly jumped from the ghost ship, and directly jumped onto a speedboat which was rushing out against the side of the boat.

With his feet on the deck of the clipper, Captain Hawkins grasped the mast and stabilized himself.

"Fire!"

His voice sounded like a broken Gong in the heavy night.

The Warwick pirate clippers, like stray arrows, left white marks on the sea and quickly approached the dead ships carrying the plague.

At the order of Captain Hawkins, two sailors on each clipper ran to the bow.

After the battle with the five port alliance, the two chemists further improved the formula of the "ancient flame". Captain Hawkins asked the ship designers of Warwick pirates to install a special metal structure in the bow according to the nature of the "ancient flame". On the surface, it looks like a dragon head with a long neck, which seems to be a common bow metal angle of impact. [1]

but in fact, it is a special nozzle made after repeated experiments.

Warwick pirate clipper approaching the cartani fleet, the opposite fleet seems to have been completely indifferent to other things, just want to race against the clock to throw the most bodies into the port city behind.

For the first time, the bow sailors seized the metal pull bolts and hid special devices in the Royal Fleet.

The metal faucet opens with "click" and "click". At the next moment, the fiery fire spurts out from the dragon like nozzle, and the hot red flames rush out like red snakes in an instant. They ferociously rush to those cartani fleets that constantly throw corpses.

On the cartani fleet, the commander standing on the deck didn't realize what it was when he saw the flames sweeping over him and his ship.

"Son of a bitch!"

"Go to hell!"

……

Warwick pirates did not hesitate to yell, they paddled vigorously, quickly surrounded the whole cartani fleet with flame tongue.

Captain Hawkins was standing on the deck.

At his command, the clipper flew straight to the main ship of the cartani fleet. Captain Hawkins bit the dagger in his mouth and reached for a roll of coarse hemp rope piled on the ship.

On the main katani ship, a tall, thin man in a black cloak stood.

Black cloak found the approaching pirate ship, he turned to the surrounding sailors and ordered, it seems that they don't care about the others, throw the body.

Captain Hawkins shook his hand, and the rope from his hand was like a sensitive and swift snake. It flashed through the air and caught the black cloak man standing in the bow.

The black cloak didn't react as well. It was too late when the people around found that they were rushing to pull.

With the help of Captain Hawkins, the black cloak capsized from many big boats, and fell into the water with a plop. Captain Hawkins, biting a dagger, stepped on the side of the boat and jumped directly into the water.

The flames roared out from the bow and enveloped the huge main ship in the flames. The people on board screamed and tried to escape from the boat by jumping into the water, but the fire floated on the water and was equally fierce. They howled, the fire leaped up, and fewer bodies were thrown in the air.

"Captain! Captain! Let's go

On the clipper, the pirates roared at the sea.

"The fire is coming!"

Wow.

As the sea turned, the scar on his face became more and more obvious. Captain Hawkins stretched out his left hand and grasped the board on the side of the ship. The pirates pulled him up in a hurry.

Captain Hawkins's right hand clung to the throat of the black cloak like an eagle's claw. His dagger had no handle on this guy's shoulder.

"Bah."

Captain Hawkins threw his captive into the cabin and spat out a mouthful of water.

Fire crisscross the Black Sea, red flame and black smoke interweave, like a sinful ancient Python swimming out of hell. Cartani's fleet was gradually engulfed by the sea in the fire. On the ghost ship, Charles quickly finished writing the letter. The witch with a crow on her shoulder lit the green spirit fire and threw the letter into the fire.

The sea breeze roared, and the pirates were fierce and fearless.

The last katani ship sank, and the Royal warships turned back.

The bugle of battle had awakened the whole city of kosiya, and general Hearn arrived at this time with the cavalry of iron rose. They came a little late, because general sheen and his soldiers went to the gates of kosiya castle for the first time.The suspension bridge of the castle rises and the gate closes heavily.

Kosiya, seal up the city.

Until the end of the current naval battle, the rose cavalry finally arrived at the port, under the command of general sheen, they pulled up a long blockade. Then the soldiers began to quickly investigate the bodies that had been thrown in.

General Hearn's heart seemed to be sinking all the time.

The cordon was pulled up, and the corpse was quickly lifted and thrown into the sea, but the range of throwing by the catapult was too wide. It was dark at this time. How much use could their cordon play?

He didn't know.

The people in the blockade are crying to get out.

A businessman is very close to the blockade line. He looks at the gap that the soldiers are blocking and rushes to get out of the blockade line.

In the dark, a light of knife cleaved across.

The merchant's head was flying high and blood was splashing out.

"Who dares to take a step! I'll kill anyone! "

A dark haired woman with an arc knife came out of the darkness and stood in front of the blockade. The wind blew her black hair and her dark green eyes were sharp.

The pirate ships have returned. Three ghost ships are at the port, but the rest of the Clippers are not.

Brave, crazy pirates sitting on the deck.

Some people's arms began to grow pustules, some people began to feel their forehead began to burn. A one eyed pirate with a pustule on his arm stood up wobbly. He stepped on the side of the boat and was about to jump into the sea. The pirates on the same ship reached out and grabbed him.

"Are you fuckin 'blind!"

The one eyed pirates yelled.

"It's none of your business for me to take a bath in the sea."

"Take a damn bath!" The pirates on the same ship yelled back, and they pulled this guy back. "Your uncle owes me wine money, so you want to cheat me?"

Not far away from them, on the sea, the ancient holy fire was not finished, and the dark red light was shining on the angry pirates. They stopped outside the harbor, laughing and yelling, as if death had not yet enveloped them.

Three ghost ships, one hell made the ship stop in the harbor not far from them. Charles stood on the ghost ship.

He grabbed the railing and looked at the pirates standing or sitting in the fire.

"Hi

Captain Hawkins was also standing in the bow. He waved to the dock, but not with Charles.

Charles looked in the direction of his greeting and saw the woman with black hair standing on the dock in the light of the fire. He was slightly stunned.

In December, the sea breeze was as cold as a knife blowing into the bone. On the pirate ship in the wind, someone was singing: "we are not afraid of death - we would rather die with the enemy, although death is even more boring than rest.

Come on, let it be, we snatch the life in our lives.

if we fall - who cares whether we die of sword or disease "

wild songs reverberate on the fury of kosiya's harbor, and the endless fire shines on this sea area that will be shrouded in death. The Pirates of Warwick are like brothers.

They lived and died together, as rebellious as the wind.

“…… Let those creeping people fall in love with aging!

Let them cling to the sickbed and spend their years in pain;

let them shake their paralyzed heads and breathe hard.... " [3]

on the dock is the crazy queen Elinor who finally comes out of the black tower, on the ghost ship is Charles, the godfather of the king holding the railing, and on the deck is the crazy captain Hawkins standing with the pirates

Many years later, old friends meet again in the center of the whirlpool. They face death as they did many years ago.

………………

Rose Palace.

The king received the letter from the green flame. This is the secret method of witches. Every time it is used, it is a great burden to the witches themselves. Therefore, Charles will not use this method to contact him unless there is an emergency.

When he opened the letter, Charles's neat handwriting seemed a little scrawled for the first time, and the king finished quickly, his eyes covered with ice.

He did not hesitate to start the contract to summon the devil.

Without waiting for him to start the contract, the room was already filled with black fog, and the devil came out of the thick darkness first.

"The plague doctors are on their way."

The devil bowed to the king. He wisely did not provoke the king at this critical moment.

"Your important men are safe and sound."

The king heard the meaning of the words: "how many people did the warwicks sacrifice? What about the cavalry? "

The devil was silent for a moment and gave two numbers.

The king's face was expressionless, and his anger was suppressed in his calm.

The devil is helpless.

A lord of "greed and ill gotten gains" can only let the devil open a small gap without causing legal repression. He can only take a small number of plague doctors to nip the spread of the black death in the bud. These days, the devil is also running nonstop in the southeast coast.If it were not for the king's blockade order, I am afraid it would not have been able to limit the plague so effectively.

However, the outbreak in kosiya was man-made, when the devil was taking the plague doctor to solve the epidemic in another village. As soon as he realized it, he rushed with the pestilence doctor.

But the speed of man-made throwing infection is too amazing, the riprap machine will take advantage of the night to cast the body to every corner.

Under human factors, the speed of plague transmission in densely populated cities like kosiya is much higher than that in small villages. By the time the devil arrived, the plague had completely broken out, and the team of plague doctors were lucky to be able to protect the king's important cavalry and Royal Fleet.

"How?"

Asked the king.

He did not forget that the devil had planned to wait until the plague broke out in Legrand. In this case, it means that there is a way to solve such a large-scale plague.

"One way." The devil replied, "it's up to you to open the gates of hell."

The king looked at him and realized that this was the devil's real idea.

- he seems to hope that the closer the connection between the king and hell, the better, perhaps because it allows him to take the king to hell earlier.

"It has nothing to do with me. My dear majesty. " The devil quickly got rid of the relationship. He said, "but are you sure you want to go in person? You know The holy see is watching your every move, so you have no way back. "

"The holy court?"

The king read these two words and gave a sneer.

"All I know is that my soldiers are in the plague city."

The devil gave a laugh with sarcasm.

The plan that hell gave up after painstaking efforts was made by human beings.

In the world or hell, which is the breeding ground of evil?

………………

1432, December.

The great plague.

General Sean, the rose cavalry, ordered the closure of the city, the Royal Fleet stationed outside the port, and the king, he himself went to the southeast.

The author has something to say: [1] referring to the Byzantine warship settings, they installed special nozzles on the fast boats such as domonis, and then ejected the Greek fire liquid long gun to the enemy ships through the special nozzles [about the Greek fire has been explained in Chapter 41]. This kind of device and long gun play an important role in close defense. There are related introductions and full-color pictures on page 16 of three thousand years of plunder: The Legend of pirates in the history of the world. You can have a look if you are interested.
