Chapter 216: The Island of the Dead
"Your achievements shouldn't stop at pirates. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "After the rain, the sky is clear, and after the violent wind and rain is a brilliant sunny day." The sunny Caribbean Sea is rippling with turquoise waters and crystal clear waters. The breeze blowing on the face gives an unusually refreshing, comfortable feeling. There was no such thing as the hellish scene that almost destroyed the world when the storm struck, and the darkness was about to swallow the earth.
Looking back at Wiltner, who was sitting on the deck, his eyes were almost bursting with fire and staring at Promise, Jack Sparrow, who had a strange expression, looked at Promise beside him, leaned slightly sideways to Promise, and whispered, "That's the Governor's daughter." β
"I know." Promise glared at him, "There's nothing between us." β
"Nothing, still hugging each other?" Jakesparrow looked teasing, "When we get the treasure, you can become a Monopoly, and then you can be with the Governor's daughter." β
β...... Maybe you're right. Xu Promise narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the relaxed Jack Sparrow with a change of expression in his eyes, and nodded slowly after a moment.
Jack Sparrow may be a well-intentioned pirate, but he's still a pirate at heart. It is the characteristics of pirates to only think about themselves, and it is normal for pirates to sell everything for profit, and choose to betray. And the fact that Jax Sparrow was betrayed by his own men also made him shake the pirate code that he insisted on.
In this case, how could the promise of meeting and then coming together for the common good have any solid basis for cooperation with Jax Sparrow? They were just using each other in the first place.
Jack Sparrow promised to understand that he probably didn't mean to share this great fortune with anyone at all. It's just that the idea of the promise is not in those treasures, and it doesn't mean to debunk Jack Sparrow's careful thoughts.
"That's the island you've been exiled to?" It wasn't long before the Interceptor sailed far past a beautiful island. Promise looked at the island in the distance as if thinking about something.
"Yes." Jack Sparrow's eyes darkened, "I used to be there for a few days, and there was no water and no food. Then I caught a couple of turtles in the sea......"
Then he left the island in a raft made of turtles, and the rope used to tie the raft was made of your hair. Right? The next words of the promise made Jax Sparrow open his mouth and froze there, and then nodded in response, "Yes." β
Xu Promise curled the corners of his mouth and stepped forward, lowering his voice, "But how did I hear that you found the cellar left by the smuggled wine dealers on the island?" After three days on the beach and then being rescued by liquor dealers? β
β...... Who are you listening to? Jack Sparrow looked at Promise with a surprised face, this matter was one of his secrets, he had been bragging about it as material for a long time, how did Promise know?
"It seems to be true." Xu Promise smiled, "The scenery of this island is good, and it seems that this is the only island on the sea around it." If we set fire to the island, do you think General Norrington's fleet will see it? β
"You want to bring the British?" Jack Sparrow's reaction was quick, and he immediately understood the idea of the promise: "You want the British to fight the Black Pearl?" β
"Do you think you'll be able to snatch the treasure from Barbossa's immortal creatures with these people?" Xu Promise glanced at the best crew members who were working the deck, and shook his head slightly, "They may be able to resist the treasure, but they will definitely not be able to defeat those monsters with immortal bodies." So we need helpers. β
"That's why you're holding that Miss Doge?" Obviously, Jack Sparrow has a high IQ, "That Admiral Norrington will drive the whole fleet out for this Miss Elizabeth." As long as you can attract them to the vicinity of the Black Pearl, you can bring them to the death. Then we'll have a chance. β
"I think we can stop the ship for the time being." Promise raised his chin and looked at the beautiful island in the distance: "We should signal to the British fleet, which is struggling to pursue us in the vicinity. β
------
The sky is clear, and the white clouds are rolling.
In this vast expanse of sea, several warships of the British Navy are wandering aimlessly, struggling to pursue their goals.
Unlike the Intrepid and the Interceptor, which only exist in the movie, the British fleet in reality is a real fleet, with the Intrepid as the core, consisting of five ships, large and small, each with a large number of sailors.
"Sir!" The sentry on the lookout post at the top of the tall mast sounded the alarm: "A pillar of smoke has been found in the distance!" β
Norrington, who has recovered again, can no longer see the depressed appearance of the embarrassed falling into the water before. After receiving the report from the lookout, Norrington immediately raised the telescope in his hand.
In the distance, a small island was rising in large columns of smoke, at least hundreds of feet high.
"Fleet pass!" Norrington put away his telescope: "There must be someone there!" β
Norrington was right, not only were there people, but there were also boats. As the British fleet headed for the island, they unexpectedly spotted the Interceptor, which they had been looking for, on the outskirts of the island.
In fact, however, they were promised to set fire to the island and have been roaming the waters near the island in a boat to wait for Norrington and them to arrive. After discovering that the British fleet had taken the bait, the Interceptor, which had been snatched from the British, fled with full sail.
"Sir, they seem to be deliberately trying to get our attention." Gillett looked at the Interceptor, which began to gradually accelerate away after hoisting its sails in the distance, with a puzzled expression on his face: "What do they want to do?" β
"After all, it's just trying to take advantage of us." Norrington could of course see that he knew what the pirates were trying to do when he had promised to say Turtle Island in his ear. It's just that Elizabeth is in the hands of those pirates, and he can only continue to get into it even if he knows that it must be a complete set.
However, Norrington was confident in the strength of his fleet, and he was convinced that with the strength of his fleet, he could easily deal with any danger he faced. And the only thing he feared at this time was the promise of that elusive and strange ability. He doesn't have a good solution for this kind of thing that is beyond common sense for the time being.
It's just that he had already given an order before, and once he faced the hijacking again, Gillette would immediately take over the command and attack him at the same time.
As a captain, Jax Sparrow has very good abilities. He steered the Interceptor through the shipwreck graveyard and approached the island where the Black Pearl was hiding.
The Black Pearl's hiding place is very secluded, on a deserted island in a strange sea area full of strange rocks and rough waves, unknown to the world. And this desert island is the legendary island of death.
This large island has caves that can be revealed at low tide leading directly to the interior, which can be accessed by boat. And all the treasures that the Black Pearl has looted over the past ten years are hidden in this cave.
Jack Sparrow has the compass you want. There is nothing in the sea that the goddess of the sea does not know. With the compass sent by the goddess, Jack Sparrow easily took the Interceptor through the shipwreck on the outskirts of the Isle of Death and approached the shore of the island. And behind them, an entire Royal Navy fleet was rapidly approaching.
"It's almost time." Looking at the strange rocks of the desert beach and the towering peaks of the island in the distance, he turned around and came to the deck, "Everyone, pay attention. Miss Elizabeth and Mr. Wiltner were ready to follow us to the island. Others hid nearby and waited for notification. β
Bring Wiltner with him because his blood is necessary to lift the curse. And bring Elizabeth because Will will honestly stay by her side, and Norrington will not hesitate to fight the Black Pearl fiercely for this woman. All he needed was Norrington to draw firepower for him.
Although he will not be afraid of those pirates who have immortal bodies, after all, such unkillable monsters are very troublesome.
Promise couldn't guarantee that he would be able to snatch all those Aztec gold coins under the noses of dozens or hundreds of these monsters. It's a good thing to have Norrington to attract some firepower and attention.
The weather around this island is very strange, with thick fog and a lot of humidity. Even a few hundred meters away can only see a vague shadow. The Interceptor quietly ducked into the fog, and the British fleet that followed the Interceptor as it rushed through the shipwreck graveyard was a little frustrated by the situation.
Just as it is said in the war books of the East that you should not enter the forest, for the naval fleet, you must be more careful when encountering strange weather with no visibility. Especially now when this fog is thick and there is an enemy fleet hidden in the fog.
"Looks like this is their destination." Norrington put away his telescope, which had no effect in such meteorological conditions: "Everyone be ready for battle, pull out the battle line and move forward!" Watch out for the reef! β
"Sir." Gillette, who was on the side, worriedly admonished: "The situation of friend and foe is unknown now, and this weather is too dangerous. β
In fact, what Gillette wanted to say in his heart was, General, you can't put the entire fleet in danger because of a woman. After all, Miss Elizabeth may be your wife, but not ours.
The cold and silent sea is foggy and visibility is extremely low. Nothing could be seen except for the distant peaks of the island. In this kind of ghost place, even if the British Navy is powerful, when facing unknown risks, the first thing should be to go out and wait for the weather to improve.
Even professional soldiers can be intimidated in the face of such an environment. Moreover, many attribute this operation to General Norrington's private operation. He is trying to save his possible fiancΓ©e. (To be continued.) )
