When the sun was rising, the fleet finally rounded the eastern head of the Kahawei Peninsula and anchored into the private dock of the Robey estate under the guidance of the pilot.

It is a small single-plank pier, similar to the sea exploration pier in the town of Bahiba, where a long wooden boardwalk is built in a sandy beach area with insufficient water depth, and extends until the water depth reaches the standard.

Luobei Wharf refers to the standard of 7.4 meters of commercial port, which is medium in the wharf and can easily accept sixth-class ships, and the main berth on the outer edge can barely accept four-class and fifth-class ships.

The Halloween fleet is all small ships that do not enter the battle line, the badger and the wasp are level six, and the Golden Deer is level five, so there is no obstacle to entering the port.

In a short time, the three warships were anchored, and Nelson and Collingwood disembarked and joined forces with Lorraine, who was waiting on the boardwalk.

Nelson's expression looked a little tired: "The purpose of the operation has been achieved?" ”

"273 people were taken prisoner, 84 were killed, 2 people were killed on our side, and 27 people were slightly injured of varying degrees. Captain Lyced has already had the manor's roster checked without missing a single person, which means that the French are still unaware of the news that we have put the Army on Martinique. ”

"I heard it landed from the cliffs to the south?"

Lorraine shrugged: "You don't know that a group of landlubbers simply can't afford to land on the beach, and seasickness alone is enough to kill them." ”

"That's not what it meant." Nelson smiled and shook his head, "Cuthbert said that if it were you, there should be a way to make a reserved suggestion to Captain Rashid. ”

"That's why you chose me for the advance team?"

"The only reason."

All three laughed at the same time.

After laughing, Lorraine took the power of attorney signed by Mr. Robbe from Noah and handed it to Nelson.

"There are four more troublesome captives, and as far as I understand it, Monsieur Robey is a gentleman of France, a viscount seven generations ago, and the family is married in Holy Rome and Spain."

"Someone with status...... Nelson frowned, took the authorization and glanced at it, "he wants to trade our things for our freedom?" ”

"That's what I suggested he signed. How so...... He and his children are looking forward to their holidays in Barbados. ”

"Looks like you're convincing him again."

"It is a businessman's job to persuade others to accept sound advice." Lorraine smiled dumbly, "I'm just doing my part." ”

After the fleet landed, the baggage prepared for the 8th Company was carried out of the hold in batches, including guns, cannons, dry rations, clothing, and carriages and horses, and piled up on the side of the plank road.

No one knew what Rashid was going to do next, or how long he was going to stay at Robey Manor.

For the next 20 days, the land and sea forces around Martinique will act independently on land and sea until the 23rd, when preparations for an attack on Le François are completed.

The pressure on both sides is not light.

At sea, the French had a double superiority in artillery, and the defense fleet far outnumbered the Halloween fleet, both in quantity and quality.

On land, the garrison was ten times larger than eight companies, and the nearby fortified town of Ratrinithai alone numbered as many as two companies.

Both sides are weak, with fewer enemies, after a short period of cooperation, the two sides will return to their respective specialties of solo dance.

There is no need to worry about each other, because for a long time to come, everyone will not have the spare power to respond, and they will not have to care about each other's life or death.

In this way, the situation does not seem to be any different from when there was no communication with each other, and the two sides have only established a very limited "trust", and there is indeed a communication channel that may not be used at all.

Then, Nelson was willing to believe that the Eighth Company would not surrender to the enemy on land and betray the plan, and Leheed was willing to pin his retreat on the sea, at least verbally, as he said.

"What a blind action......

The Golden Deer was immersed in the pre-war preparations, and Lorraine completely put the worries of the war behind him, and did not even attend the final farewell to Rashid and the others.

"Peace of mind", sometimes it's so cheap.

It was nearly early in the afternoon, when the vast amount of supplies was finally emphasized, and Mr. Robey and his family embarked on a voyage to Barbados with the requisitioned Slupp sloop.

The lightly armed Golden Deer turned around in the vast bay, formed an inverted triangle formation with the Badger and the Wasp, and fell to the end alone.

The sailor trotted to Lorraine's side: "Report to the captain, the admiral has the order, and the order is to set sail, sail to the northwest, and keep in formation!" ”

Lorraine nodded: "Bell presides over the sail rudder, and Acharin presides over the coordination of the fleet, sailing to the northwest, aiming at the port of Leloran." Golden Deer, hoist the sails, set sail! ”

"Target Leloran, set sail!"

……

The small ship bobbing gently with the waves of the water was the Family Glory, a Slupp schooner that had been enlarged in its cargo hold.

Family Glory and Revival are both the property of Robey Manor, and as the name suggests, they represent Mr. Robbe's magnificent dream of reviving the family.

Of course, the seven-colored foam had almost exploded by now, and the remaining little soap star was probably sticking to his last tuxedo as he sailed to the prisoner of war camp in Barbados.

The family glory has become a scout ship for the Easter fleet, and has appeared in the open sea of Leloran since last night, like a serious fishing boat, netting and praying for the gift of the sea.

The sailors of this era, every one of them believed that there was a spirit in the sea, Niold, Poseidon, Mazu, Aya, Rulaux......

Whatever they are called, men and women, they work tirelessly to care for the physical and mental well-being of the sailors.

Those with evil intentions are not favored by the sea, just like the glory of the family keeps netting, but the real catch is not as good as the fishing rod in Lorraine's hand.

Another stupid fish took the bait, it was a salmon weighing less than a pound, and Lorraine glanced at it with disgust, struggling whether to release it or continue to let White Ears destroy the incriminating evidence.

Before he could come up with a reason, Noah approached, picked up the bucket, and poured all the big fish and shrimp back into the sea.

Lorraine opened her mouth innocently: "This...... Noah ......"

"Don't feed the white ears anymore!" The shy girl is rarely strong, staring at the big crooked eyes, and her little face is flushed, "The bow of the boat pulls the net to feed it, and you also feed it in the stern, and the white ears now eat fish and only eat their stomachs, if they develop bad habits, they don't want to catch mice!" ”

"It's just a day, isn't it?"

Lorraine looked sympathetically at the white ears on Noah's shoulder, and saw the four big words of love in the cat's vertical pupils.

The cat master has obviously given up struggling......

He sighed and threw away the fishing rod: "How's the condition of the dock?" ”

"Compared to last night, there is not much change." Noah flipped through the plywood in his hand, "There are five ships in the berth, two are armed merchant ships, Skuna and Brigentin. Six hours ago, another Brig entered the harbor, and the people who came ashore had already figured out that it was the frigate of the defense fleet, the Lucky Horseshoe, but the purpose was unknown. ”

"Intelligence from three hours ago?"

"The next exchange will be in an hour, and we may be able to find out the horseshoes' intentions."

Lorraine nodded noncommittally: "What about shore defense?" ”

"Eighteen batteries were confirmed on the shore, and only seven of them were located at sea."

"11 shore guns with unknown whereabouts, leaving them alone is much more troublesome than that horseshoe......"

Lorraine touched her chin, her eyes flickering.

"Take a risk, the white flag is hoisted on the mainmast, and the Family Glory enters the port. Yacharin! ”

Yacharin, who was dozing off with nothing to do, suddenly woke up: "Yes! Captain, I'm here! ”

"Next, we will play the role of Mr. Robbe's merchant ship, and we will negotiate with you. The others wiped their eyes and closed their mouths, and found all the shy forts, and not one of them was left behind! ”

"Yes, sir!"
