0356 Lord of Fear

The night is dark.

In the darkness of the night, the shadow of the St. Carlos looks extraordinarily large, especially since there is a huge difference in the sponson's height between the Slupp and Briganting, and when you look up, this enormity becomes more intense and more ...... Shudder.

It's like looking at a sleeping beast.

Blackbeard stood behind the handwheel, his hands gripping the handle of the wheel.

His palms were sweating profusely. The sweat is slippery, and the teak handwheel that is coiled out of the pulp has also become slippery, and there is no feeling of fingering in the hand at all.

That's the beauty of fear.

As a worthy outlaw, Blackbeard enjoys fear immensely.

In his eyes, fear is a panacea, which can make people tyrannical and invincible, so that people are no longer disturbed by the power of other fears, and they no longer need to recall all kinds of cowardice and unwilling pain in the past.

In order to enjoy himself, he constantly challenges the madness that is impossible in the eyes of ordinary people.

He has done a lot of crazy things, but he just adds up the madness of the past, and those madness may not be far beyond today's life-fighting gamble, driving a Slupp galleon, which is not even called a "ship", to charge the Brigentine gunboat with the Spanish navy.

He was charging, in the Spanish colony, the garrison towards the great lake, charging against him in the weather and hydrology, and all he could rely on was the momentum that could not be seen or touched, and the stunt of sowing fear on his opponent that he had learned in a thousand bets!

In the process of charging, before the collision occurs and the two sides are completely mixed together, as long as the cannon on the opposite side is sounded again, the Caribbean Sea is destined to lose another pirate king, and his Blackbeard will follow in the footsteps of Thomas the fly without any suspense......

Could there be anything crazier than this?

"Death, so sweet......"

Blackbeard laughed as he suddenly remembered something funny.

This isn't the first time the Slop has made such an irrational charge. Two years earlier, her original owner had done exactly the same thing to Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Slopp's name is the Beloved Lucia, and the reckless original owner was the pirate hunter Fabiano, one of the most famous heroes in the Gulf of Mexico.

Blackbeard had the impression that Fabiano was the most powerful swordsman he had ever encountered.

Remembering that Blackbeard, the pirate king, was invited to take over a business in the port of Tampico on the Gulf Coast, where he was ambushed by Fabiano.

In that battle, there were only four righteous companions, including Fabiano, and twenty-five of the evil apostles, even excluding Blackbeard.

But Fabiano was on the winning side.

With excellent sword skills, and with the traps set by the hunters in advance, Blackbeard was defeated without any suspense.

His bodyguards were almost wiped out, and all three of his officers, including the ship's second captain and helmsman Simon, were captured alive by the hunters.

Blackbeard, who was only spared, almost collapsed as a result.

In order to regain his confidence and prestige, he quickly found Fabiano's hometown of Bayes through intelligence traffickers.

On the day Simon was hanged, he stormed the manor, burned the farm, and killed most of the living creatures he saw, including Fabiano's elderly parents and two young sons and a daughter.

At the end of the day, he stripped the only survivor of the manor, Fabiano's beloved lady, Lady Lucia, naked, and nailed five spikes alive to the wall on which Fabiano's family crest was engraved in the foyer of the villa.

Fabiano vanished.

It wasn't until half a year later, when Blackbeard became the current Blackbeard and his flagship was renamed the new Queen Anne's Revenge, that he was once again attacked by Fabiano in Nassau.

At that time, he already had the shadow warrior Zaini and the obsidian-bladed warrior Chamuyam by his side, and he himself had been gifted from his endless fears, and he had become more than he had been.

The mighty Fabiano failed to break through Chamuyam's spear, leaving behind a broken arm and the corpses of a dozen of his companions, and then there was a scene of the final battle when he drove the beloved Lucia to the starboard side of the Queen Anne's revenge.

Memories are vivid.

Fabiano was once and now Edward Blackbeard.

Blackbeard discovers that history is back to square one, and retribution is quietly coming, just like Fabiano's screaming curse before he becomes a broken sack comes true overnight, provoking him to just want to shout.

"Boys, there's the Spaniard's warship ahead!"

"Oh!"

"Those sailors were frightened at the villa of the port authority, we were right in front of them, but they didn't even dare to fire their guns!"

"Oh!"

"Kill them all!" Blackbeard laughed, "Let's kill them all without leaving them any behind!" Let them know why we are called the demons of the Caribbean, and even the pirates see us as the embodiment of fear! ”

"Long live fear! Long live the regimental commander! ”

"The last thirty meters, the !!!!! of the broadside"

"Kill!"

The pirates gathered on the deck were so agitated by Blackbeard that they had nowhere to vent, and some threw their hooks from afar, trying to lock up the huge prey in front of them and prevent her from having any chance to escape.

At this moment, the panicked and helpless San Carlos suddenly erupted in a high-pitched cheer similar to that of a pirate.

The high morale, the willingness to fight, all kinds of uplifting things were unabashedly expressed from the cheers of the new life, and the smell that permeated the air made Blackbeard almost sick.

He has passed the test of fate.

Between 150 and 30 meters, he threw himself naked in front of the Spanish fire, and a random projectile could kill him.

But the Spaniards didn't grasp it.

The gun doors on the starboard side were wide open, and the guns protruded from the hull, which had not been returned to the gun compartment since the last fire.

With only the last 30 meters left, the Spaniards had squandered the favor of fate, and even if they reloaded now, they would not have time to complete the launch before the beloved Lucia took overboard.

In other words, Blackbeard won.

The one who wins takes it all, the one who loses pays with his life, and the Spaniards ...... Can't that damn shameless Marat be honest and willing to gamble and lose?

Blackbeard felt his chest fill with anger.

He wanted to get on board and ask Marat for clarification, but when he looked up, he saw the San Carlos clumsily beginning to turn.

She remained almost stationary, with all the sails not open, just simply using the rudder to deflection, allowing the current to twist the hull slightly.

This twist was obviously not to avoid the opening of the beloved Lucia's broadside, but more like not wanting the two ships to be too badly damaged in a collision, so that the gangside angle was cut so that the next broadside could be more traditional, or rather, to let Blackbeard's man board faster.

Invitation to War......

Blackbeard had such a word popping up in his head, but he didn't have time to figure out the cause and effect.

Two ships on board!

The left bow of the beloved Lucia slammed into the starboard side of the San Carlos, and the place where the collision was deeply concave, but because of the chamfered corners, it failed to tear the rift.

The impact was not complete.

The incomplete impact was not enough to drain the kinetic energy that had accumulated along the way for her beloved Lucia, and the remaining force propelled the ship forward, pressing San Carlos's hull forward.

The San Carlos spun faster, and the beloved Lucia adjusted its direction uncontrollably, and the angle between the two ships narrowed rapidly until the stern collided violently!

Chamuyam threw the hook high.

The iron claws attached to the rope were thrown five or six meters into the air and landed on the deck of the San Carlos, where they hooked.

Chamuyam began to board the board with a rope, and rushed ahead of all the pirates.

"Quezar Koatl! Curse my enemies, destroy my enemies! ”

He prayed aloud to his gods, and his burly body climbed onto the deck, raising his hand to shake the indestructible wheel axe.

"The Blackbeard Pirates act according to the commander's order, kill !!!!"
