v2 Chapter 226： Meet on the narrow road (1/2)

?

It was less than a day after the last battle, and the Jackdaw was once again put into intense pre-war preparations, but the crew did not complain.

The main reason is that the pirates of the previous war were too embarrassed. Most of them were in a state of being confused. They did n’t know what happened, and they were caught by the navy that suddenly appeared in front of them. It is not weaker than the opponent, but it has no strength to fight back.

This way of defeat is unacceptable to everyone.

Therefore, when hearing Zhang Heng ’s revenge and grabbing enough fresh water and food to return to Nassau, everyone immediately broke away from the low mood and rekindled their fighting spirit. In addition, Zhang Heng has already tried to turn the tide several times before. The trust and worship of Tang Zhong's crew has reached its peak, and now his orders will not be questioned again.

The sailors were all mobilized, and the artillery on the ship was disassembled at the fastest speed. Only one stern cannon was retained. In addition, the food in the cabin and a little fresh water and all other things that could be dismantled were also removed. They were all moved to the island. In the end, Zhang Heng only left twenty sailors, which is almost the smallest manpower that can maintain the normal sailing of the Jackdaw.

The empty section of the new Jackdaw's cabin left nothing but food and fresh water for a long time, but in exchange for a sharp drop in the waterline.

The target came faster than expected. The Jackdaw left the island for less than two hours, and the watcher saw the shadow of the ship in the distance.

Zhang Heng's previous speculation was correct. This time the navy obviously wanted to wipe them out, but just killing the five pirate ships did not satisfy Walden. In the case of occupying a huge advantage, there was still a ship of pirates able to get from his eyelids. Escape, which he couldn't accept anyway.

So after the storm, he dispatched his manpower to hunt Jackdaw.

Zhang Heng, who was near the Coral Island this time, was still an old acquaintance. He first pursued Miranda, one of his two armed ships. The latter was also the last armed ship, but after all, it was too big because of the waves Do not choose to return home.

Although Walden didn't say anything, as Captain Ford has been worried, this is the first time in these years that he became a pirate hunter, prey has been delivered to his mouth and slipped away.

Therefore, he and his Miranda also resolutely joined the hunting team. Ford is eager to win the Jackdaw for his own name, proving that he is still one of the best pirate hunters in this area.

However, because it was a scattered search and each ship chose a direction, Ford didn't actually give much hope, but what he didn't expect was that the goddess of luck actually paid him a visit again.

Immediately after discovering the Jackdaw, Ford immediately ordered the personnel on board to enter combat readiness, this time he vowed not to let the prey run away.

At the same time, Zhang Heng also saw the menacing Miranda. After a short while, he lowered the telescope in his hand and said to the sailor on the boat, ”Act as planned.”
