v2 Chapter 224: New crisis (1/2)
? Wait until the wind and waves have completely calmed down, leaving only Jackdaw on the vast sea.
”I can't believe we really escaped!”
Difraina looked around until he could no longer see the shadow of any enemies, and he was finally relieved and sat on the deck with his butt.
After finding Harry and receiving news of Jarvis's betrayal, his spirit and body were in a state of high tension, and now the danger has disappeared. His body is completely drained, and he can no longer feel any strength.
With the navy's firepower occupying an absolute advantage and the seaport was almost completely blocked, only a dozen of them under the leadership of Zhang Heng actually drove the Jackdaw out of the blockade, and then threw away the chase behind him Bing, successfully carried this terrible storm.
Every step in this period was full of danger, and everyone tried their best, but even so, there is still a lot of luck in this step, especially when the storm is just right, if it is a little later The ship was sunk by the two armed ships, and it was even more incredible that the Jackdaw could survive the storm intact.
As the sky was getting brighter and the belly was white in the distance, the drunken crew members finally woke up from their sleep, and there were more people on the deck, but Difraine's eyes glanced around, and eventually he It fell to the silent standing figure at the stern.
When that person said that he would lead everyone home, Difraina thought he was just soothing the sailors' emotions. After all, under the circumstances, Zhang Heng, the captain, must first stabilize the situation, but he did not The thought was that the other party had actually fulfilled their promises, and they had led the Jackdaw to escape the birth in a desperate situation where there was no hope.
What he did last night was impossible for any other person in his position.
This is beyond the scope of human power, and it is enough to call it a miracle. This can also be seen from the worship of sailors around.
However, Zhang Heng didn't have much joy on his face. Difraina took a rest, regained strength, stood up and walked to Zhang Heng, followed the eyes of the latter, and it should be in the direction of Parrot Island. But you can't see anything after driving so far.
”They ... still have a chance?”
Zhang Heng shook his head. ”The navy side was well prepared this time, and Jarvis had a response. This time we suffered a big loss. The black prince Sam, they want to live and have no choice but to retreat to the heart of the island. But in this way, the navy is in the arms. There is nothing to do on the side of the navy. As long as you wait for two weeks, you will face only a group of weak pirates on the island. ”
Difraina heard the silence, in fact, he had already guessed this result, which is why Zhang Heng had to take the Jackdaw away anyway, the result of this battle was already doomed long before the start.
Although the number of people and the firepower of the warring parties are not far behind, this is not a fair fight at all. The pirates on the island were attacked halfway through the carnival. They were far away from their warships without any preparation. The brain is also paralyzed by alcohol, and in this state, it is forced to fight, and the outcome can be imagined.
While the two were talking, they saw the newly recruited bookkeeper on the ship hurried over.
”Captain, Mr. Difraina, you better have a look.” The latter was nervous.
Zhang Heng and Difraina went down to the warehouse together with the bookkeeper. At this time, the seawater was almost pumped out, except that there was still a little humidity, and it was basically restored as usual, but everyone looked like They were all serious, surrounded by a bucket of fresh water.
Difraina reached for a saliva from the inside and sent it to her mouth, but spit it out soon after she tasted the salty taste, and then asked, ”How much?”
”We were out of luck. Two shells landed in the area where we stored fresh water. About seven or eight barrels of fresh water were destroyed, and some of the barrels were damaged. There was nothing to do, but the water in the cabin was finished. In addition, there is not much rum left on board, because we took out 30 barrels at the previous party. ”
”What else?” The quartermaster frowned as he saw the bookkeeper say he was half-swallowed.
