The Muscat Scarborough fired a symbolic shot, and the French merchant ship not only obediently slowed down and stopped.
Seeing the other party's so familiar Elmer's mood finally improved, he returned to the deck table and tied his napkin.
The first lieutenant commanded Scarborough to lean on the side of the Sea Lion. The candidate who had spoken before could not help but said, "Sir, we should keep the gunner on standby and send someone to check the situation first. "
The chief mate's brow also frowned. He was not a rookie who had never been to the sea. Of course, he knew what to do. No one liked to be taught by a subordinate who always pointed his nose. In fact, if it was not for Burnett's origin, he would have been I can't help but explode, this person was previously excluded by his colleagues for no reason.
Sometimes it is a good thing, but because the way of doing things is not the same, it will be offensive.
"Do your job, Burnett." The chief mate warned that he did want to order the gunner on standby, but was so uncomfortable as eating a mouse poop, but he served in the Navy for so many years, In the end, reason defeated emotions and issued orders in an orderly manner according to the original plan.
Burnett stood aside and didn't speak, but looked upright as if he had just won a war.
Ms. Xie pulled out a knife to cut the goods. Fortunately, the first group of 24 people had already boarded the French merchant ship opposite, and finally turned his attention away.
The captain across from him was a French man with a somewhat curly hair, standing on the deck with his sailors in a restless state, and he obviously knew what it meant to encounter Scarborough.
However, in the face of overwhelming firepower, even if you are unwilling, you can only honestly hand over the cargo list on board.
The leader of the team leading the team pointed at the surrendered people on the deck with a musket in his hand, and then sent several men to the warehouse for inspection. Zhang Heng and Malvin in the kitchen were also detained a moment later.
The calf of the latter had been snoring, especially when he saw the huge battleship, the densely packed cannon barrel, and the shadow on it.
His appearance also amused the group of British sailors on the deck, some whistling and others grinning, but one of them frowned and looked particularly prominent in the crowd.
"Lanny, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, I just think that guy looks a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him." Said Sailor Lanney.
"I found it out when you said that," another person echoed.
The atmosphere on the deck became tense in vain, but then he listened to the man and said, "He looks a bit like your wife, oh ... Poor little Lenny, can't wait to figure it out ~ maybe we A fat friend doesn't mind. "
"Go to you [Beep], Stephen!"
After the two men on the interrupted ship returned to their previous relaxed and pleasant state, the mission was very easy, and most of them didn't take it seriously. After a while, the people who went to search also returned one after another.
"No problem, all the porcelain is underneath, and it looks good. Big guys can make a fortune this time!"
Everyone in the British sailors heard a smile on their faces.
的 The leader of the team nodded his head. "Looking at these people, I will report to the chief officer and the captain."
After saying that, he returned to Scarborough with the list of cargoes, and after a while, the sailors on Scarborough began to mobilize.
In order to facilitate the return of goods on the merchant ship, the chief officer ordered the laying of more landing boards. At the same time, about sixty new sailors laid down their weapons and freed up to carry the porcelain on the Sea Lion.
Listening to the footsteps from the top of the head, the pirates in the mezzanine couldn't help but swallowed. The road so far has planned more smoothly than they expected. Most of them have been completed. The Sea Lion and Scarborough successfully connected. Next, as long as the British sailors who are bare-handed get on the Scarborough, they can launch an attack.
However, the more people get nervous at this time, for fear that someone on the deck accidentally discovers the secret under their feet, it will be a shortfall.
Only one of them is an exception. He is sitting in the corner, with his eyes closed as if asleep. His huge body is like the mountains in the night, and the black bearded beard rises and falls with his breath. The space in the mezzanine is very clear. Narrow, people and people are crowded together, but there is no one within one step of him, and most people who choose to become pirates are unscrupulous, but when they are in the same room with him, they are all one by one. Well behaved like a kitten.
The eyes that looked at him were all in awe, as if looking at a demon.
Obviously the plan to attack Scarborough is very dangerous. Even if Orff's plan is only five or five, the majority of those who voted in the end still accounted for the majority. In addition to the temptation of money and treasure, perhaps Men in front also account for a large part of the reason.
Alas, there is only another fear that can fight fear. UU reading books
Uh ...
The sailors on Scarborough jumped on the Shanghai Lions one by one, burped into the warehouse happily, and the people responsible for guarding Zhang Heng on the deck were also very relaxed. Only the man named Lenny was still staring at Malvin, A meditative look.
The farmer's son was also very aggressive at the moment. He didn't know anyone other than his father on the New World side. He was arrested by the pirates halfway through. He was sure he never knew the guy on the other side, nor did he know. Why did the sailor on the Scarborough keep staring at him, and Malvin couldn't help wondering if he really looked like his wife?
Just as a few British sailors came together to discuss the fun of getting money there, the guy named Lanny suddenly changed his face and shouted, "I know, they are pirates !!!"
说 He raised the musket in his hand as fast as he could, aiming at Malvin, his expression was tense.
The latter was horrified. I did n’t know where he was showing his feet. Actually, it was n’t just him. His companions were also inexplicable. He did n’t raise his arms in the first place. ?! "
Lanny quickly said, "I remember where I saw him, and I saw his portrait in the port! About ten months ago, a merchant ship was robbed by a pirate. The pirate killed the captain and the top of the ship. Many sailors only gave the remaining passengers a boat, a bucket of water, and a little food, but those people were later saved by passing ships. They said that four people on board had joined the pirates, and among them was this fat man. The characteristics are the most obvious, so I also remember the most clearly, oh yes, the group said that there is another Oriental, it should be the one around him. "
