Chapter 130: aims (2/2)
”Will it be good for me to forge an order?” Orff spread his arms.
”According to the regulations, we only need to accept the captain's order unconditionally in the battle,” another said. ”Now that the battle is over, I think this matter can be voted on.”
”Don't be stupid, do you know what the consequences of letting these people go back, and soon every port will know that the Scarborough has fallen into the hands of the pirates, they will call for manpower and build a battery. You think this time Will Belomont still go to Charleston for his daughter's wedding? And missing this opportunity, it is not so easy to catch such a big man. ”
Orff frowned, ”We can't take such risks. What the captain said before was just to stabilize the situation at the time. After all, we were in a disadvantaged position. More than 100 exhausted people were going to capture more than 400 armed forces. Tooth soldiers, it ’s impossible without a trick. Gentlemen, do n’t forget the purpose of our battle. If there is no treasure, why should we take such a risk to grab this ship? ”
The last words of the old helmsman finally touched the pirates on the deck. They found it hard to find Kidd's treasure, and they paid a unimaginable price along the way. The original group now has less than a third left. If at this time, due to the weakness of a momentary weakness, no one can accept the consequences of such a thing.

The last boat carrying the sailor was near the Sea Lion. The people on the deck dropped the soft ladder to pick up the people below. Anyway ~~ Compared with those dead comrades, they are still alive. No doubt lucky.
Although losing the post-war future is uncertain, there is still hope as long as it can survive. At this time, there is much less separation between military officers and sailors. Quartermasters are distributing hard biscuits with worms inside. The captain's room was also given to the wounded, but at this moment the crowd suddenly rioted.
Because they saw Scarborough, not far away, suddenly opening its muzzle, like a deep-sea monster showing its sharp teeth.
”God!” The quartermaster's basket fell to the ground, and the cookies inside were scattered everywhere. He opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of despair.
At the same time, panic was spreading on the deck at an incredible speed. The sailors were instinctively driven to flee, but the surrounding sea was vast, and they did not know where they could escape. The only thing they kept was soberness A small number of people wanted to untie the ropes and set sail, but everything was too late.
No one knows the range of these cannons better than these people on board.
Edward Titch stood quietly in the captain's room and looked at the Sea Lion submerged by artillery. It was like a dilapidated toy, beaten by a wayward child, and eventually turned into a fragment.
The salvo lasted for a full five minutes. When it was all over, there was only the silent burning sea surface, and a half-broken mast undulating with the waves.
”Sorry, God is not here today.”
