Chapter 214: It's easy to get on the boat and hard to get off the boat
"Now, please lay down your arms. www.biquge.info Promise held two sharp swords in both hands on the necks of Norrington and the Governor, and looked at the British soldiers around him with a chuckle, "If you don't want your commander to die." ”
"Kill him!" Norrington roared and tried to resist. It's a pity that his movements are too slow in front of the promise.
Promise lifted up and kicked Norrington in the crook of the leg, knocking him to the ground, and then slammed his sword into the back of Norrington's head. Suddenly, the commander rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Boom!" Norrington fell, and the governor sat down on the ground himself, frightened. That is, the promised reaction was super fast, so that the saber did not cut the governor's neck.
"Now, go and get the Interceptor ready to go to sea." The sword in his hand was pressed against the necks of Norrington and the Governor, "Gentlemen, please hurry, or I will not mind killing a hostage first." ”
"You bastard!" Elizabeth, with her skirt in her hands, roared at the promise. Not only was she robbed by Promise today, but now even her father had fallen into the hands of Promise, and the anger in her heart at this moment could be imagined.
The British soldiers all around them pointed their guns at the promise, but they didn't know what to do. The two top commanders in Port Royal fell into the hands of the promise, and the average British soldier was numb.
At this time, the commander of the British army at the scene was Norrington's deputy Gillette, and when he saw the sharp blade in Xu Promise's hand pointing at his boss's neck, he had no other choice.
"How did you do that?" Jakes Sparrow frowned, incredulous.
He had never seen such a thing as a promise suddenly disappear and suddenly appear next to Norrington. If anything, it is the borrowing of the power of the gods.
He had seen this kind of person, more than ten years ago when he first went to get the Aztec gold coin, he was sunk by the East India Company's fleet, and when he was about to die, he met an existence with this magical ability, it was a terrifying existence. And the promise in front of him also gave him this similar feeling.
"Just think about it." Promise smiled and raised his finger to his forehead.
He was indeed not wrong in what he said, and for Xu Xu, teleportation was indeed just a matter of thought.
Jack Sparrow looked at the promise and didn't ask anything more. As a good pirate, he naturally knows that sometimes the less he knows, the better.
They were now near the docks, surrounded by local defenders in red and white uniforms, with at least hundreds of muskets pointed at them. However, Promise and Jack Sparrow are on the same page, as they have hostages in their hands.
There is no such thing as a sniper with precise aim in this day and age. In terms of the accuracy of musket fire in this era, if you exceed 50 meters, you don't know where the bullet will go.
Near the docks, a Royal Navy warship was bustling with people. This is the British army preparing for the voyage of the Interceptor, which is known as the fastest warship in the Caribbean. He promised to work in such a big circle in order to be able to get rid of the ship. After all, if you want to go to the pirate island where the Aztec gold coins are buried, you can't go without a big ship that can sail far away.
"You can't take the hostages!" The British moved quickly, and the Interceptor's preparations for sailing were quickly and smoothly completed. Promise and Jack Sparrow escorted the hostages and prepared to board the ship, but were stopped by Elizabeth, "Release the hostages before they get on the ship." ”
"Beautiful young lady, are you drunk?" Xu Promise narrowed his eyes and looked at the thorny rose in front of him, "Let go of the hostages, can we still get out of this port alive?" Are you in arrears of your own IQ or do you take everyone else for being a fool? ”
Elizabeth didn't understand what IQ was, but she understood what it meant to be a fool. The pretty face was white, and the beautiful big eyes glared hatefully and promised, "Then you can't take them all, at least release one." ”
"Well, you're right." Xu Promise looked at the governor and general who were tied into zongzi and stuffed with strips of cloth in their mouths, and nodded slightly, "Then return the governor to you." ”
Promising raised his hand and pushed the governor in the direction of Elizabeth, and Will, who was beside Elizabeth, hurriedly stepped forward to hold the governor up.
The reason for the release of the Governor was because Norrington was a commander with a strong character, and if it was Norrington, he would most likely have directly ordered the Interceptor to be sunk. And the Governor, Mr. Governor, he doesn't have the courage.
"Wait a minute!" As she promised to step on the pedal to board the boat, Elizabeth called out again to stop.
"Beautiful young lady, don't go too far." Xu Promise shook his wrist, and the sharp saber threw out several beautiful sword flowers in mid-air.
"When are you going to release General Norrington?" Elizabeth asked unceremoniously.
"When we get out of port safely." Promise narrowed his eyes.
"Nope." Elizabeth shook her head vigorously, "You pirates' promises cannot be trusted, if you get on the ship and run away, and then refuse to release General Norrington, then who can catch up with the Interceptor?" ”
"And what do you suggest?" Xu promised to wrap his hands around and raised his chin slightly to look at the girl in front of him and ask.
"We're going to go up with us, and we'll leave with General Norrington when the Interceptor is out of port. What do you think? Elizabeth revealed her true thoughts.
"Hey." A gleam flashed in Xu Promise's eyes: "Then how many people do you want to be up to?" ”
"Twenty!" As if sensing some urgency in her tone, Elizabeth hurriedly explained, "You can't sail such a large ship if you don't have enough men." ”
"No, no, no." At this time, Jack Sparrow, who was on the side, suddenly shook his orchid and pointed out, interrupting Elizabeth's words: "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, and there is no problem with driving this ship." ”
"You can get on board." Promise raised his chin, "But it can only be you, and that Mr. Wiltner." When I get out of the harbor, I'll let General Norrington go. ”
After a pause, before Elizabeth could continue to defend himself, he raised his sword and placed it on Norrington's neck, "Otherwise, I don't mind killing him now." ”
"Bang la~~~" The British soldiers nearby suddenly all raised their muskets in their hands. Although the accuracy of the muskets of this era is terrifying, such a dense firing density is still likely to make Promise and Jack Sparrow into a honeycomb.
"Okay." Surprisingly, Elizabeth walked towards the pedal without any worries. The governor who had just escaped on the side didn't even have time to pull it.
"Elizabeth!" The women he loved ventured aboard, and Wiltner naturally rushed forward without the slightest hesitation.
And he didn't know that Promise had chosen Elizabeth so that he could be hooked. Once you get on the boat, it's hard to get down.
Although he said before that he would keep his promise, and he was not a person who did not keep his promise. He had just made it very clear that he would let General Norrington go when he left the harbor, but he was only letting General Norrington go.
Things turned out as promised. Relying on Jack Sparrow's excellent piloting skills, the Interceptor left Port Royal without incident. Beyond the range of the fortress's guns, the Interceptor fulfilled its promise and freed Norrington.
"You liar!" Elizabeth, who was stopped, angrily shouted at the promise, "You don't keep the promise!" ”
"Please don't insult my reputation." Xu Promise waved his hand, "I promised to let General Norrington leave after leaving Port Royal, and now that I have kept my agreement and let him go, what do you have to protest?" ”
"But you've detained me and Will!" Elizabeth's anger made Xu Promise take a step back, this is really a thorny rose, maybe only Wiltner's kind of woman can resist by nature.
"Yes, I have detained you. So what? "Promise walked over to General Norrington, who had just been untied from his body, "This is another operation, and it has nothing to do with my previous promises. ”
After a pause, Promise turned his gaze to General Norrington, who was still calm, "General, you can leave now." ”
Compared to Elizabeth, who likes to shout, Norrington is calm and composed. Although he also wanted to take the woman he wanted, he knew that now was not the time, and he didn't have the ability to do so for the time being, "I need a sampan." ”
"I'm sorry." Xu Promise chuckled and shook his head, looking in the direction of Port Royal, the British naval fleet over there had already been dispatched, and the huge Dreadnought had already pulled up its full sails and was frantically pursuing, "This ship has been requisitioned by me, and everything on board now belongs to me." So, please also ask the general to leave himself. ”
Before Norrington could say anything, Promise single-handedly threw General Norrington out of the side of the ship into the sea under the shocked gazes of Elizabeth and Will.
"Well done!" Jack Sparrow, who was operating the boat, gave a thumbs up to the promise. Elizabeth and Will, on the other hand, were sluggish.
Although he was thrown into the sea, Norrington, as a commodore of the navy, was very good in the water, and the British naval fleet behind him was approaching at full speed, and it would not be long before he would be rescued on board.
Neither Jack Sparrow nor Elizabeth noticed that Promise whispered in his ear very covertly and quickly before throwing Norrington into the sea, "Turtle Island." ”
"All right, everybody. Let's go now. Promise looked at Wiltner, who was looking at Elizabeth with admiration, and smiled.
The reason why Elizabeth was forcibly detained was to make Wiltner follow him with all his heart, instead of running away or even wanting to commit suicide or something. With Elizabeth in hand, Wiltner would be able to follow him all the way to the pirate's lair.
In the same way, the message to Norrington was to borrow the power of the Royal Navy at a critical moment.
When one's own ability is not enough to fully do it, appropriate borrowing is the embodiment of wisdom. (To be continued.) )
