Chapter 134: Blaze (2/2)
…………
Fifty people were quickly assembled on the deck, and Owen saw that Tiki came out of the captain's room, and then nodded at the latter. ”The people have already been selected, and they are all good players on the boat.”
Tiki looked up at the sundown, and said to Elmer, who was standing in the front of the line, ”Go.”
Orff stood at the bow and watched the fifty-man team ascend to the pier, as Elmer said, and their group disguised as the Navy of the Scarborough Navy without any interrogation, and went into the city smoothly. .
It wasn't until their disappearance that Orff left the deck. The old helmsman knew that the war had begun, and he had to play his part.
Into the night. Orff was sitting alone in the captain's room, looking at the floor clock in front of him.
There is still half an hour before the appointed time. He re-examined what happened today in his mind according to the usual habits, and confirmed that there was no omission, but somehow there was always a sense of uneasiness in his mind.
The next moment in Charleston the fire suddenly lit, and something burned in the night.
Orff looked at the scene for a moment.
Has the person in the city already started? But why is this time half an hour earlier and the order is not right? According to the original plan, it should be Queen Anne ’s Revenge. First, it launched shelling to cause confusion and panic. Did the accident force them to start early?
The fire was also seen by the pirates on the deck. Someone hurried to the captain's room and asked the old helmsman, ”Mr. Orff, what do we do now, do you want to fire support?”
Orff was also a bit unsure. If the fire had nothing to do with them, the fifty people on the shore who fired the gun in advance were trapped in the passive, so he thought for a while and said, ”Let the gunners in place, Wait for my order. ”
At this moment, the sharp-eyed pirate saw a group of navies running out of the city, and the group ran all the way to the boat near the dock. They couldn't wait to jump up, and then fleeed to Queen Anne's Vengeance ~~ is ours. ”
Seeing the slogan from the bow, there was no need for Olf to order a pirate to immediately lower the ladder.
Back was the team led by Sailor Captain Irving, but there were only twelve left, and almost all of them were bloody. Irving was wrapped in gauze on his lower abdomen and was carried on board to see Orff. The first sentence was, ”We failed! Elmer notified the defenders in the city in a way we didn't know. We were in an ambush and had to disperse and escape.”
”Where's the captain?” Orff tightened his mind.
”Captain ... was the first to realize that he was wrong. He shot Elmer, but was hit by at least six bullets later. Sorry, we failed to regain his body.” Irving said sadly, he The eleven pirates behind him recalled that scene and bowed their heads in pain.
”Mr. Orff, now that the captain is gone, you can only take charge of it. We can't delay any longer. The garrison in the city already knows that the Scarborough has fallen into our hands, and soon the battery on the wall will be Open fire on us and the capture of Belomont has failed. We have no reason to collide with the defenders. Order to retreat. ”
