v2 Chapter 189: Demonstration (1/2)
? Honey is an older man. It was too late to return to the fortress after finishing last night's work, but he opened his eyes and opened his eyes not long after lying down.
Perhaps knowing that they don't have much time left, older people will always cherish every day left.
Honig got dressed, put on his triangle hat, and had eaten the warm breakfast just brought back from the town, and his mood gradually improved.
Especially when he ascended the city wall in accordance with the custom of the past, overlooking the city of Nassau at his feet, the satisfaction in his heart was also spontaneous.
Nassau was not recognized by the governor of England, and the closest to the island was Honig, who assumed part of the governor's duties, which occupied the fort and the battery and controlled the island's coastal defense.
What he said to the black prince Sam last night was of course only irritation. In fact, he was quite satisfied with his current situation. He was planning his retirement a long time ago, although his reputation was still great at that time, and Fraser also said that Nassau's two most powerful captains, but their skills are no longer than in the past, years of pirate life has brought him not only wealth, but also various hidden diseases, especially rheumatism, torture his knees For a long time.
So eight years ago, Honig decided to leave the sea, and took people here to take another life.
He and the parliament agreed that he and his men would defend Nassau and maintain the daily order here, and the island merchants would regularly pay him a defense defense fee.
This maintenance fee is not much, and it is almost negligible compared with the ongoing trade on the island, but there are many people who win the fee, so the sum is a considerable income.
Even if it is not the same as when he went to sea to be a pirate, the difference is more important. He does not need to take any risks, and he does not need to go to the sea again, which prevents the deterioration of rheumatism.
However, Honig also had his troubles. He and his crew were away from the unpredictable sea and lived a day where they could sit and make money, but this life was also terrible for the will of the will, because of the lack of fighting and the long time Staying inside the fort, their bodies began to rust, and more importantly, lack of fresh blood.
While being a pirate, each battle will lose manpower, but new people will be added later. This is actually a mechanism of survival of the fittest. Unqualified old people are replaced by better new people.
Now on the land, Honig is following the old faces of the ship before him. Even if these people start to become lazy, it is impossible to fire them with Honig's previous friendship. Newcomers who are more capable, and even if they hire newcomers, Honig can't trust them like old people.
Fortunately, he had the prestige before him. Others on the island have not yet noticed their deterioration in strength, but Honig knew very well that the fighting power of his group is now less than half compared to when he first landed. Left.
Since he can take the fort from someone else's hands, other people can also take the fort from his weak hands.
The more he needed this time to show his tough side, so last night the Skull blasted Nassau's beach, and Honig brought people there as soon as possible, but confronted the group, especially in In the face of the young and strong Wilton, although he covered up well, he felt a little labor.
Fortunately, Wilton chose to make concessions in the end to ensure that he would no longer cause trouble in Nassau, and after Honig got the steps, he said that he would not be held accountable for the former bombardment of Nassau.
