Not long after Zhang Heng left the Queen Anne's Revenge, he heard the sound of cannons behind him.
The direction of Charleston was shrouded in flames. Zhang Heng knew that the revenge of Orff and Teach had already begun, but what happened after that had nothing to do with him.
His career on the Queen Anne's Revenge is over. In fact, Tiki disappeared with his Queen Anne's Revenge after tonight. Zhang Heng met the latter four years later, that's another story .
The sixteen people on board had already selected a helmsman by this time, and Billy said to Zhang Heng, "I took a general look just now, and now there are about 20 ships moored in the port, including twelve small ships and eight medium-sized ships. , two large ships, and there are no people on board, so they can be easily taken down."
Charleston is hundreds of kilometers away from Nassau, and it is impossible for everyone to row back with only the boats under them, not to mention that they are in the treasure house now, taking advantage of the Queen Anne's Revenge to attract all the attention on the shore, it is precisely to grab a Best chance for a new car.
"You should already have a choice." Zhang Heng looked around. He knew that this would be his future team. Owen was right. The group of people on the boat now are basically the most senior on the Queen Anne's Revenge. The old group of sailors has rich experience and excellent skills. More importantly, their identities are very clean, neither belonging to Orff nor Fraser. However, if Zhang Heng did not interfere, in this power struggle, Their end is probably the worst.
Billy and the others looked at each other, and there was a look of excitement in their eyes, "The Royal Navy also has a frigate here, which is a medium-sized ship. It is equipped with about 30 cannons, which are similar to the Sea Lion we took before, but the power It is stronger and should be faster, and with our current manpower, we can drive it back to Nassau, and we only need to recruit some more people, and we can go to sea."
Another old pirate also said, "Actually, the Queen Anne's Revenge is not the most suitable ship for plundering. It is too big, so it will inevitably sacrifice part of its speed, and there are too many sailors on board. If it is just to rob ordinary merchant ships, it is not necessary to With such a strong firepower, the loot everyone can share will be very limited, not to mention that it is too conspicuous."
Zhang Heng nodded, "It's not too late, let's do it now."
A quarter of an hour later, seventeen people climbed onto the selected naval frigate along the ropes at the stern. There was no sailing mission at the moment, and there were only ten guards on board. Zhang Heng didn't make it difficult for them, but just used the fastest His speed overwhelmed them, tied them up, and threw them into the boat they had been in.
After that, everyone started to untie the sail rope and put up the anchor. At this time, the two navy boats on the pier had just launched into the water, and they tried their best to row towards this side, but they were still one step too late after all.
The sea breeze blew the sails, and Zhang Heng stood at the bow to steer the ship himself. Instead of disturbing the Queen Anne's Revenge, which was in a fierce battle, he steered the sailboat under him to the other side, and finally sailed out of the harbor quietly.
Looking at the port gradually disappearing behind him, everyone on board burst into cheers.
"I just checked that the food and water sources on board are sufficient for those of us. At this speed, we will be able to return to Nassau soon." Billy the helmsman walked up to Zhang Heng, "Captain, there is only the last one left now." One thing, give our new ship a name."
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. Unknowingly, it has been a year since he entered this round of dungeons. During this year, he has been trying to integrate into this cruel and magnificent world, eating, sleeping and fighting with pirates, and learning various things. skills, but he did not forget where his soul came from, so he thought about it and said, "From now on, this ship will be called the Jackdaw."
The pirates didn't understand the meaning behind the name, they just thought it sounded catchy, so no one raised any objections.
Zhang Heng looked at the stars above his head and said with a smile, "Now, let's go home."
...
Annie has returned to a state of boredom recently. When Zhang Heng is here, at least someone can talk to her and listen to her complain about Xianyu's life. Once the latter leaves, only She is alone.
In the past, she could walk around the island and beat up one or two blind people to make her lonely, but since Zhang Heng promised to take her out to sea next time, she also promised someone that she would take care of her fists, Stop causing trouble everywhere.
Anne had a lot of problems, but infidelity was not one of them.
So during this period of time, she rarely went out and lived a life like a house girl.
But even so, there will still be trouble coming.
Annie was sitting lazily basking in the sun on the deck chair in front of the gate, but not long after, that lingering figure appeared in front of her again.
"What do you think, we can go to Massachusetts, I have an uncle who grows tobacco there, we can go to him, he will provide me with a stable job, enough for us to live a comfortable life in the New World, no need No more worrying about food for the house.”
Annie raised her eyelids, but there was no response, the man continued, "Accept the reality, Annie, you have been here for more than a year, is there any ship willing to accept you, it's time to give up your unrealistic fantasies , being a pirate is not a play, you should be glad that I am not angry about the previous things, my promise is still valid, as long as you marry me, our previous debts will be written off."
Annie rolled her eyes, and finally couldn't help but said, "James, are you ashamed to say, whose money did we spend all the way from Ireland to Nassau? Isn't it because of the set of silver tableware I stole from home?" ? As a result, when we arrived in Nassau, you turned against me and wanted to settle your own accounts, so why didn't you also settle your previous accounts?"
Seeing that the red-haired girl finally reacted, James immediately became happy, without blushing, and plausibly said, "We agreed to settle the accounts separately as soon as we got off the boat, and you agreed at that time, even so, I still raised you for half a year , You always said that if you become a pirate, you will return the money to me, but now it seems that this is simply impossible."
Anne was amused by the shamelessness of this guy. This was not the first time a similar conversation had happened. In fact, if it wasn't because he couldn't beat the red-haired girl, James would have been unable to resist.
Just when Annie was seriously thinking about breaking the precept once and punching the disgusting face in front of her, a little ghost ran quickly from the field and shouted from a distance, "Boss Annie, boss Annie, there is a new one!" The pirate ship is coming to Nassau, it is a naval warship! Honig, who is in charge of guarding the fort and fort on the island, was taken aback! Fortunately, they raised the black flag in time."
"Eh? Another warship, are people so courageous now?" Annie recognized that it was a child king on the street. After being beaten by her a few times, out of worship for power, the latter gave up his heart Begging her to be the boss, he ran all the way from the pier barefoot, sweating, looking very eager.
"Their captain asked me to inform their bosun to gather at the pier."
"Then you go to inform, why are you running to my place?" Annie said angrily.
The little devil panted, "I'm also very strange, but now the name on the island is Annie, and there is no one else with fiery red hair except you, boss."
"ha?"
