Chapter 131: Revenge Journey (1/2)
Zhang Heng also watched the fire in the distance silently on the deck on the other side.
Even though he had experienced brutal wars before, it was still difficult for him to adapt to such a pure slaughter.
Killing a group of sailors who have surrendered with artillery in a near-term execution is completely different from solving the enemy in battle.
But now this ship is firmly in the hands of helmsman Orff and captain Titch, not to mention the interests of the whole ship, Zhang Heng knows that even if he speaks, he can't change much.
At that time, Simon was beside him in the icy and snowy forest of Finland, but now he has only one Malvern beside him.
The farmer's son did not feel terrified this time, but those little eyes revealed a faint excitement.
Zhang Heng had to speak to remind him, ”Even if it is useless to kill these navies now, your portraits have been posted in various ports, and they have already established their identity as pirates.”
Malvern's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he cried, ”This is completely over. I heard that the way to deal with pirates in all places except Nassau is almost the same, as soon as they are found, they will be hanged. I ca n’t count it anymore Inheriting my father's farm, can I only cook in the pirate ship for the rest of my life? ”
But not long after he regained his spirit, ”Fortunately, there is Kidd's treasure. As long as I can find that treasure, I can live a happy life in Nassau even if I can't go back to the civilized world. I don't have to risk being killed. Risks go out 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 that was 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 likely to be a lie. Orff used this elaborate lie to control the pirates on the ship to achieve his purpose, but he never wanted to understand why the latter Month had to command everyone to harden the navy, and such an act would not do any good to him at all.
Until recently, Orff ordered the firing of four hundred British navies whose weapons had been confiscated on the Sea Lion. Although he had good reasons and covered them well, Zhang Heng captured a bit of hatred from his eyes. Emotions.
Zhang Heng suddenly realized that Orff challenged the Royal Navy for no purpose, and his goal was the Royal Navy itself, or in the Navy.
Each of the six treasure maps is a lifeline, and Orff is using this method to induce the pirates to attack the selected target for him.
Unfortunately, the people on board did not realize that they were not on a journey to find treasure and wealth, but a downright revenge guided by the captain and the helmsman.
All of the above are derived from his observations and speculations. There is no evidence to prove this in Zhang Heng's hands. Today, Queen Anne's Vengeance is almost all fanatics who have been dazzled by treasures like Malvern. Considering the difficulties they once faced, they have already reached this stage. After paying so much, even if there is any doubt in the hearts of the people, they will refuse to believe it.
And this is where Orff is the most powerful. Everything is under his control now. He is only one step away from his ultimate goal.
--last step.
