Nine days have passed since the previous battle.
The navy's fleet suddenly appeared outside the port halfway through the carnival of the pirates, which caught the pirates off guard. At the time, the beach was in chaos. At the call of the black prince Sam, Brooke waited for some drinks. Many people who could move freely launched a heroic counterattack against the Navy.
However, what they did was unable to change the final result. Brook was another person operating separately from the black prince Sam. They successfully boarded a pirate ship and also launched artillery on the ship to the opposite naval fleet. They attacked, but their attack lasted only two rounds, and the ship they drove was sunk.
Some people on the ship were buried at the bottom of the sea, and Brooke and others swam back to the shore and evacuated into the woods. Soon they met a second wave of people who had withdrawn, while they also drunk those on the beach. It was also dragged into the woods, but because time was too tight and it kept blazing fire, it eventually brought back less than one fifth of the people.
Coupled with the people who died in the battle, Brook now looks around, and the six pirate ships that went out to sea together had fewer than a hundred people left.
And after nine days of torture and lack of food, this hundred people have become extremely weak.
Because the retreat was too hasty, they almost brought nothing when they retreated into the forest. Most of the food and fresh water were placed on the ship. Of course, as the battle sank to the bottom of the sea, Brooke certainly knew what the navy people were paying attention to, and maybe passed by. It won't be long before the enemy starts to land and force them to make the final decisive battle, but now they have lost their ship and are trapped on the island.
Although the area of 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 the goats, or **** the moist soil, making the mouth smell of soil, Brook. His lips have cracked.
Fortunately, last night they successfully caught a goat. Not only did each of them get a piece of mutton, but they also drank the blood of the goat, which relieved some of the hunger, but a goat was more than a hundred people in the team. It's just a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, the number of goats on Parrot Island is also limited. They have already hunted a considerable part in order to hold the party. Now it is becoming more and more difficult to catch. This sheep is also the only one they have caught in the past two days. .
In addition to food and water scarcity, drugs and ammunition weapons are also a headache.
Now there are only 20 long rifles and 8 short rifles in the hands of nearly a hundred people. Even daggers, scimitars and other melee weapons cannot be used by one person. The remaining bullets are still consumed during hunting. There is no medicine at all, and the wounded can only survive on their own after simple bandaging. It can be said that they have reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted.
Of course, the most serious is the morale blow. At this step, everyone can't see where the future is going. When they sleep at night listening to the moans of the wounded, many people have always been tense nerves completely collapsed, but also Some people can't stand this desperate atmosphere and jump directly into the sea, and people who commit suicide almost every day.
Brooke got up from the ground and handed the last piece of lamb to the black helmman Eric, who was not far away. The latter had hardly eaten in the past eight days, sitting alone in the big tree. Now, his eyes were empty, no different from a stone.
When the black prince Sam fell in his arms, the pirate leader who made the entire Caribbean sea scared was crying like a child. He even forgot that he was still in a battle, so tight Holding the body tightly until the Warrior sank, he fell into the water and refused to let go.
Fortunately, the crew of the Veida crew dragged him ashore when he was about to drown, and the first thing Eric did when he woke up was to find the body of the black prince Sam. After the corpse had been washed away by the sea, his whole body became what it is now.
Even if Brook passed the food to his mouth, he didn't respond.
Brook said hoarsely. "If you don't want to live, don't ever avenge him."
The black helmsman heard the words, and finally there was a look on his gray face. He opened his mouth and said in a weak, almost inaudible voice, "Revenge ... Are we, how do we do that?"
"I don't know, but if you 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 still insist on dying, I don't have any opinion. After all, in the current situation, eating one mouth less is not a bad thing." Brook shrugged.
"Is there still a boat out there?" Eric took two bites of mutton, regained a little strength, and finally turned his attention to the situation at hand.
"Yeah, it seems that Jackdaw successfully escaped that night, so the navy sent other ships to chase after it."
"It's unbelievable that they could break through the blockade in that situation."
"This should be considered good news these days, but unfortunately it is of no use to us." Bruker smiled bitterly. "If there is a ship, any ship, we have no hope at all. "
The two were talking ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The pirate, who was monitoring the movement of the ship off the island, suddenly shouted, "Ship found in the distance!"
Brook and Eric glanced at each other, and they knew that when the ships that followed the Jackdaw all returned, 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 in the faces of the pirates. The days on the island are more difficult every day. Compared to starving and desperate waiting here, they Would rather die happily in battle.
But just as Brook and Eric were calling for manpower to fight the final battle, the pirates in charge of the whistle had an incredible look on their faces and shouted.
"It's Jackdaw, Jackdaw, Jackdaw is back !!!"
"Is it captured?" Brooke had a hard time believing that Jackdaw went and returned. It took an incredible thing to take over the telescope and change his position in Zhang Heng to escape. It was absolutely impossible to ask himself. Back to Cockatoo Island, not to mention that Jackdaw does not know the current situation of Cockatoo Island, and cannot return at the risk of being besieged.
However, as if answering his questions, the next moment the Jackdaw raised the black flag without hesitation.
