Chapter 139: Jackdaw (1/2)
Not long after Zhang Heng left Queen Anne's Revenge, he heard the sound of artillery from behind. ~~ щww ~ suimеng ~ lā
Charleston's direction was shrouded in flames. Zhang Heng knew that Orff and Titch's revenge had begun, but everything after that had nothing to do with him.
His life on Queen Anne's Revenge has ended. In fact, Tiki disappeared with his Queen Anne's Revenge after tonight. Zhang Heng was four years after he met the latter. .
The sixteen people on the boat had already selected the helmsman at this time, and Billy told Zhang Hengdao, ”I took a look at it, and now there are about twenty ships moored in the port, including twelve small ships and eight medium-sized ships. , Two large ships, there are no people on board, they can easily win. ”
Charleston is hundreds of kilometers away from Nassau, and it is impossible for everyone to row back by the boat underneath them, not to mention that they are now in the treasure house, taking advantage of Queen Anne's Revenge to attract all the attention on the shore, which is exactly what they grabbed. Best chance for a new car.
”You should already have a choice.” Zhang Heng looked around. He knew that this was his future squad. Owen said it well. Now these people on the boat are basically the most senior on Queen Anne's Vengeance. An old group of sailors, with rich experience and excellent technology, and more importantly, their identities are clean. They do not belong to Orff or Fraser, but without Zhang Heng's interference, in this battle for rights Their end is probably the worst.
Billy and the others glanced, and there was a flash of excitement in his eyes. ”The Royal Navy also has a frigate here, which is a medium-sized ship. It is equipped with about 30 artillery vessels, similar to the Sea Lion we took before, but the power It ’s stronger, and it should also be faster. With our current manpower, we can drive it back to Nassau. At that time, as long as we recruit some more people, we can go to sea. ”
Another old pirate also said, ”In fact, Queen Anne's Revenge is not the most suitable ship for looting. It is too big, it will sacrifice a part of the speed, and there are too many sailors on board. If it only robs ordinary merchant ships, With such a strong firepower, everyone's share of the spoils will be very limited, not to mention it will be too conspicuous. ”
Zhang Heng nodded, ”It's not too late, let's do it.”
A quarter of an hour later, seventeen people climbed up the selected navy frigate along the stern rope. Now there are no voyage missions. There are only ten guards on the ship. Zhang Heng did not embarrass them. The speed subdued them, tied them up, and threw them in the previous boat.
Afterwards, everyone untied the sail cables and stowed the anchors. At this time, the two navy boats on the dock had just launched and tried to row towards this side. However, they were still one step behind.
The sea breeze blew sails. Zhang Heng stood at the bow and took the helm himself. Instead of disturbing Queen Anne's Vengeance, who was caught in a battle, he steered the sailboat underneath to the other side, and finally quietly sailed out of the harbor.
Looking at the port gradually disappearing behind them, everyone burst into cheers on the boat.
”I just checked that there is enough food and water on the boat, enough for us people to use. At this speed, we will be able to return to Nassau soon.” The helmsman Billy walked to Zhang Heng. ”Captain, now only the last One thing, give our new ship a name. ”
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, and it has been a year since he unknowingly entered this round of copy. In this year, he has been trying to integrate into this cruel and magnificent world, eating and sleeping with the pirates and fighting, learning various Skill, however, 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 did not understand the meaning behind the name, but simply felt that it sounded catchy, so no one disputed it.
Zhang Heng looked at the stars above his eyes and laughed, ”Now, let's go home.”
