"No wonder Fraser keeps saying that you are the most difficult person on board." Owen said, "But you still lost this one." He suddenly sat up straight from the chair, without any signs of injury, " Unfortunately, if the situation had not deteriorated to such an extent, I would not have planned to use this tactic."
After Owen finished speaking, he stomped his feet, and immediately there was a sound of fighting outside the captain's room.
The boatswain grinned, "You don't really think I don't have a backup plan, do you? Edward Teach is not here now. When he got off the ship, he took away most of the people who were willing to serve you. Although there are so many people on this ship, But there are only five people on the deck who are willing to obey your orders unconditionally, and I still have eleven people in my hands. Kill them, and then kill you, my story can still be told, but it is a little twisted , just need to add an ending, what do you think—what about the ending that Orff planned to kill people to silence the bad news on the shore but was killed instead?"
The battle outside the door ended faster than expected, and the moment the two of them spoke, the winner had already been decided.
As soon as Owen's words fell, the door of the captain's cabin was pushed open from the outside, and his two men stood outside the door. However, their faces did not show the joy of victory, but mixed expressions of horror and disbelief, because On the backs of their heads were now two short muskets.
This was the first time Owen's expression changed drastically tonight. He knew the fighting power of his subordinates very well. It was a surprise attack by eleven men against five men. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible to lose.
Orff said at this time, "You are very smart, you are one of the smartest people I have ever met in my life, you have not shown any signs of being on the ship for so many years, and you have a clear understanding of our confidantes, and have been We waited until Tiki disembarked, we were at our weakest, and we were only close to winning, but unfortunately... you forgot a group of people."
Zhang Heng came in from the door, with the general knife back in his waist. At the same time, the group of old sailors who had been imprisoned under the boat came in with him, and they escorted Owen's eleven men together.
"It's you, how is it possible?!" Owen was surprised, "You are actually from Orff? Wait, are you all acting up what happened last night? There is no small note at all."
"No, there is a joint note." Zhang Hengdao, "Billy and the others are indeed worried about Orff and Titch's leadership of the ship, including the previous disposal of Goodwin, and the tragic time on board. In terms of the casualty rate and the excessive fanaticism of Kidd's treasure, they wrote down the questions they wanted to ask Orff on a note, signed their names, and prepared to challenge the captain and helmsman together, but they were blocked before they even started. Betrayed, Kent, one of the conveners, had a close relationship with Fraser, but in fact he had already switched to Orff.
"On the surface, Kent followed Fraser's instructions to unite all those who opposed Orff and Teach, and encouraged them to challenge the authority of the captain and helmsman, but secretly told Billy and the others about their private activities. Orff. It was only after I discovered Kent’s position that I figured out a question that had troubled me for a long time. I already knew that Kent was not His people."
Owen raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"
"Frazier just wanted to expose me to Orff, and it wasn't just Orff who couldn't see my role in this matter, even I couldn't guess that Frazier wanted me in the first place. What role did he play in this matter? He has invested a lot in me, but he has been generous without asking for anything in return. I was curious at one point, if I didn’t plan to play according to his script, wouldn’t he lose everything? But after I figured it out, Frazier didn't care what I did in the game, he just needed someone to get Orff's attention."
"In a sense, Billy and I have the same role. They are all bait released by Fraser to confuse the line of sight. In order to lower Orff's vigilance and create opportunities for you, it's just because of me and Billy. His relationship is more conspicuous, in order to deal with Orff and Titch, Fraser did accept another student, but that person is you, not me."
Zhang Heng paused and continued, "Let's talk about the note. This actually happened three days ago. Billy and the others were provoked by Kent to write the note. Elmer wrote that thank-you letter you read about, planning to frame Billy and the others, so according to the normal schedule, this matter should have exploded three days ago."
"Then why didn't this incident break out three days ago?"
"Because I stopped it." Zhang Heng said lightly, "To be honest, I don't want to get involved in your grievances with Orff and Teach, but Fraser has gone too far, not only using me but also He intends to treat me as an abandoned son, but I have no choice but to go and general his army."
"Is that when you decided to join forces with Orff?"
"It wasn't easy given the state of trust we had with each other, but we tried to talk openly and it was a difficult process, but we finally came to an agreement."
"What do you want? Maybe I can give it to you too." Owen tried to throw an olive branch before giving up his last effort.
Zhang Heng shook his head, "My request is very simple, since Billy and the others are already disappointed in this boat, and Orff is worried about them, why don't we let them get off the boat."
"I still don't understand. Why would Orff trust you and give you the right to move freely tonight? He really isn't worried that you are Fraser's student?"
"Because of that note." At this moment, Orff finally added, "What happened last night was not just for a show for you to see, there is that note on them. The only way to get off the ship is to disembark. It is impossible to seize the ship unless all the remaining 60 people on board are killed. However, we have an agreement that after tonight I will vindicate them and restore their reputation. "
Billy snorted coldly, and threw the tied captives into the corridor outside, "Remember your promise, we will never owe each other from now on, and after he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Heng, "We Waiting for you in the boat, Captain. "
Zhang Heng nodded, "Thank you."
When everyone left, there were only Orff, Owen and Zhang Heng left in the room.
Owen suddenly grinned, "Captain? Great, the biggest winner tonight is you. I know you plan to disembark after the one-year term expires. I didn't expect that you even got your team together. Billy and the others are like this." The most experienced old sailors on this ship, you saved them from Orff, and they will definitely follow you wholeheartedly in the future."
