Zhang Heng was also on the other side of the deck silently watching the flames in the distance.
Even though he has experienced brutal wars before, it is still difficult for him to adapt to such pure massacres.
Nearly executing a group of surrendered sailors with artillery is a completely different thing than taking out the enemy in combat
But now the ship is firmly in the hands of the helmsman Orff and the captain Titch, not to mention the interests of the entire ship are involved, Zhang Heng knows that even if he speaks, nothing will change.
Back then, Simon was by his side in the icy and snowy forest in Finland, but now there is only Marvin by his side.
For the first time this time, the farmer's son didn't panic anymore, instead, there was a hint of excitement in those small eyes.
Zhang Heng had no choice but to remind him, "Even if you kill all these navies now, it's useless. Your portrait has been posted in various ports, and you have confirmed your identity as a pirate."
Marvin's eyes immediately dimmed when he heard this, and he said with a mournful face, "It's over now. I heard that all places except Nassau deal with pirates in the same way. If they find out, they will be hanged immediately. I can't do it anymore." Now that I have inherited my father's farm, can I just be a cook on a pirate ship for the rest of my life?"
But it didn't take long for him to cheer up again, "Fortunately, there is still Kidd's treasure, as long as I can find that treasure, even if I can't go back to the civilized world, I can live happily in Nassau, and I don't have to risk being killed." Take the risk to go to sea, maybe you can marry a few beautiful wives."
Zhang Heng didn't have the heart to break the dream of the farmer's son. Looking at the sea lion sinking in the distance, he finally figured out a problem that he had never thought about before.
Zhang Heng has realized that Kidd's treasure is probably just a lie. Orff used this elaborate lie to control the pirates on board to achieve his own goals, but what he has never figured out is why the latter Yue wants to command everyone to challenge the navy, and such behavior will not do him any good at all.
Until not long ago, Orff ordered to fire on the 400 British navy who had been disarmed on the Sea Lion. Although his reasons were very good and the cover-up was very good, Zhang Heng still caught a trace of hatred in his eyes. Emotions.
Zhang Heng suddenly understood that Orff's challenge to the Royal Navy was not to achieve any intention, his goal was the Royal Navy itself, or in the navy.
The treasure map divided into six parts is each a reminder, and Orff is using this method to induce the pirates to attack the target he has chosen.
It's a pity that the people on board didn't realize that what they embarked on was not a journey to find treasure and wealth, but a journey of outright revenge directed by the captain and helmsman.
All of the above are based on his observations and conjectures, and Zhang Heng does not have any evidence to prove this. Almost all of the Queen Anne's Revenge today are fanatics who are dazzled by treasures like Malvin. Considering the difficulties they have faced, they have come to this point, and after paying so much, even if everyone has doubts in their hearts, they will refuse to believe it.
And this is where Orff is most powerful. Everything is under his control now, and he is only one step away from his ultimate goal.
-last step.
And now is also the time when his vigilance and aggressiveness are the highest. At this critical moment, he will not allow anyone to sabotage his plan.
The gunpowder smoke and gunfire gradually dissipated on the sea surface, and the setting sun sank to the horizon. Zhang Heng on the side of the ship felt something, and looked back to see the old helmsman under the mast. Their eyes met. Orff nodded at him, pointing He raised his head and said, "The sea breeze is coming, can I trouble you to go up and check the sails?"
"Okay." Zhang Heng agreed without much hesitation, handed over the saber and weapon on his body to the son of the farmer, and then climbed onto the mast in front of Orff. His movements were very fast, and after a while I climbed to the top, and then said to the old helmsman below, "Everything is normal."
A look of surprise flashed in Orff's eyes. He originally thought that Zhang Heng would be wary of him if he noticed something. After all, the easiest way to make an accident happen to a sailor is to play tricks on the cable. Based on the distance between the top of the mast and the deck, once it falls, it is basically impossible to save.
But no matter how much he could think about it, he would probably never have imagined that Zhang Heng was still wearing a [Shadow Moment], and Zhang Heng increasingly discovered the usefulness of this item. For example, in the case of falling from a high altitude, he only needs to enter the shadow The state can easily avoid injury, so he doesn't need to worry about what Orff does on the cable when climbing.
The incident with the black gunner made Zhang Heng discover the habit of the latter. He likes to create an oppressive environment to observe the target's reaction, and Zhang Heng is sure that his current reaction will make the other party feel confused.
"Thanks for your hard work, Roscoe will be proud of you." Orff expressed his gratitude politely without any change on his face, and then went to check other places.
Marvin on the side didn't even see anything wrong with their performance.
Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to get off the mast. At the beginning, he asked Roscoe to learn sail control, just because he thought that he might use this skill when he became a captain in the future, but after a period of time, he gradually fell in love with it. Work.
When you are at the highest point, you can always see some scenery that you can't see.
Doing the math, it has been eleven months since he came to this world. In addition to the points and skills he has gained, his skin has also been tanned and bronzed because of the wear and tear on his hands from climbing the cables for a long time. Callous, more importantly, he has gradually gotten used to life on the boat.
Compared with later generations, the sea in the 18th century seemed more mysterious and magnificent.
Everything is missing here, except adventure and challenge.
Now he is ready to sail as captain, but before that he will spend his last month on the Queen Anne's Revenge.
And this month may not be peaceful.
Orff's journey of revenge has already embarked on the final journey. Although Fraser is still silent, no one will ignore this old fox. Zhang Heng will not believe that he only left the carpenter named Kent on board. Eyeliner, and the real struggle between the two sides may still be in Charleston.
Zhang Heng, who was caught in the middle at this time, was undoubtedly the most dangerous, but this might as well be an opportunity for him.
