0286 BEACON XXI: BECOME A GHOST

Midnight, to Mary. The siege of Daya Chapel is coming to an end.

Lorraine and Jefferson stood on a small balcony nearby, accompanied by Henna and Noah, holding their binoculars and surveying the battlefield.

"There was a fierce fight in the north, and there seemed to be a hole in the line...... Get nailed. โ€

Jefferson shook his head and lowered his glasses.

"The formation of the Saints Regiment is still too short, and although the courage of the soldiers is enough, it is still a little hasty to enter the night battle now."

Lorraine laughed indifferently: "But I do admire that saint a little, he was able to hide his horse in the chapel...... No, it should be possible to get expensive horses through a few slaves. โ€

"It was the man who fled on horseback who should have been at the heart of the mob, and Mr. Revere should be disappointed."

"Even the core is a slave, and you should exonerate him, these slaves have nowhere to go in the white world."

"Yes." Jefferson curled the corners of his mouth, "Kenway, your performance has cleared up a hidden danger under the surface of the water in Boston, and this time it has evidence of slaves' possession of firearms, the state can justifiably reprimand the day-to-day management of the Syndicate, and by the way, take back some of the Southside's autonomy rights." These performances I will write to the Commander-in-Chief of Washington and Mr. Adams. โ€

"Thank you for your preference." Lorraine leaned over and bowed slightly.

"It's not a preference, you've done a lot for the United States, but we're ...... Cotton Jack ......"

"The lawless have the rules of the lawless, and I am grateful for the kindness of your gentlemen, but since he does not accept it, then just follow the rules of the industry. Pirate King...... To be honest, I'm still looking forward to the future. โ€

Jefferson sighed softly: "You have to be careful, America does not have many true friends, and the loss of one is an immeasurable blow to our cause." โ€

"This is probably the most touching utilitarian speech I've ever heard......"

The two of them were pulling idle pieces for a while, and suddenly a sailor came in and whispered to Henna.

After a while, Henna waved off the sailors and whispered to Lorraine in Jefferson's presence.

Jefferson waited quietly until Henna finished speaking and stepped back, then asked with a smile, "Accident?" โ€

"It's no surprise to you." Lorraine played with the mirror, "The net set up in the water warehouse has caught fish, and there are more than thirty people, all of them white. But there were still no clues on those men, but where they came ashore, my men found a waiter's armband in the middle of a pile of rubber coats. โ€

"Waiter armbands? The kind of cloth ring that the restaurant maรฎtress has around his sleeve? โ€

"It's that cumbersome ornament." Lorraine raised her binoculars again to look at the battlefield, and her voice floated out of her mouth and melted into the night breeze, "There is a string of words in the inconspicuous place on the back of that armband, which reads [Orlan Flavor Smoked Fish Restaurant]." โ€

"ร…lan Smoked Fish House...... I've heard of that shop, it's on Wesley Street, it's quite famous. โ€

"It looks like I've accidentally made another meritorious service."

"I'm not surprised at all that you've been making meritorious contributions......

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The moon sets, the sun rises, and the night fades.

After the riots in the southern district, two more days passed before I knew it.

A lot happened in the past two days, and the Continental Army cracked a stronghold buried deep in the British Royal Secret Service on Wesley Street, and then pulled out seven intelligence stations and a large amount of classified information.

The Sons of Liberty Regiment was violently impacted, one deputy regiment commander and two regiment commanders resigned, and six company commanders were found to have accepted bribes and were suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

The corps commander, Major General Kidalil, was reprimanded for this.

On the other hand, due to the fact that the slaves were secretly possessing weapons due to the riots in the southern district, the United Union Union was ordered by the state government to reflect on it, and the preferential tax rate unique to the southern district was greatly reduced, and the strategic workshops, including military industry and clothing, were forced to accept the settlement and supervision of the Puritan church.

In the end, the state government did not step on the threshold of the government's non-involvement in the economy, but there was not much difference, and everyone knew that the Puritan church and the state government were now in a honeymoon period.

Back Bay, outside the Haight Shipyard, Jefferson, Revere and a group of shipyard executives saw Lorraine off on the boardwalk.

Jefferson held the Caesar Gold Cup given to him by Lorraine, reluctantly.

"Yesterday I sent a letter to the pirate Mr. King, in his private capacity, that if he wishes to disembark in Virginia, I hope he will accept the goodwill of the United States."

"Why are you doing this?" Lorraine looked at the tall road marker on the bow of the ship beside her, "Don't forget, the road sign is a 16-knot ship. โ€

"This is what America owes you, and it has nothing to do with whether you need it or not." Jefferson handed the box containing the gold cup to his attendant, stretched out his hand, and clasped it with Lorraine, "After this is gone, you will return to Baltimore." Soon it will be time for me to go back to Virginia. Although they are on both sides of the Chesapeake, they will not easily see each other if they have nothing to do. All the best, my friend. โ€

"May your career be a monument, Mr. Governor."

Revere shook his parting gift with delight, a small golden windlamp of the old British royal family.

"Kenway, is this really an antique lamp from the Mercian dynasty?"

"I don't know that history, General Revere." Lorraine shrugged, "This was bought by Carmen from a repressed nobleman in England, and it is said to be an heirloom for their family. โ€

"I saw the inscription!" Revere's face was ruddy, "Look at the ugly and rough words, and the ancient ...... Uh, I guess it's old...... An old compound word, I bet it's an antique from a thousand years ago! โ€

"You should look for a serious connoisseur. The wind lantern has made you, and I think this lamp is very suitable for you. โ€

"I'm going to do it! If it's an antique, it's a family heirloom for the Revere family in the future! โ€

"I'll pray for you on the boat, General."

Revere suddenly realized this, and hurriedly put the wind lantern into the box and handed it to his adjutant to hold it carefully.

"Hey, have a nice trip, man!"

"Thank you."

The Dow Marker began her maiden voyage, the slender hull slowly exiting the berth, and Bell turning around with the rudder full as usual.

With such a simple action, her hull tilted suddenly, and the sailors on board were caught off guard, rolling, and falling on their backs.

Lorraine looked at the red-faced Belle and laughed, "Do you need to change me at the helm, Bell?" โ€

"Hell! What the hell! Bell licked his tongue, "What a fierce horse like no other...... Captain, raise all the sails, I want to see the scenery at 16 knots! โ€

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely sure!" The whole ship shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Then it will be as you wish!"

Lorraine stepped on the bow railing, drew his scimitar with a thud, and pointed straight ahead.

"The whole ship is looking for the nearest fixed, the personnel are on duty, and there is no rest!"

"The sails, the sails, the bow sails, the wind are fully open, and the wings are wide open!"

"The direction of the wind!"

Clen, who was on the side of the ship, and Pierce on the foremast, shouted at the same time: "The wind is north-north-west, level four!" โ€

"Heading due east, heading to the Middle Ridge, aiming for New Orleans."

Deafening cheers erupted from the ship.

Amid the cheers, Lorraine shouted loudly and unbridledly.

"Faster than the wind, faster than the waves, the cannonballs can only look at the ship and sigh, and the curse will not be able to catch up! We will be ghosts of the sea! Road Marking...... Set sail! โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Soon after, in an inconspicuous corner of Qianwan, a dark shadow sneaked into the room.

"Priest Rashid, the smugglers have left Hong Kong."

Sander gloomily hid in the shadow of his hood, like a clay sculpture of wood, without saying a word.

The slave who reported swallowed: "Priest, our partners who stayed in the southern district have already found out, and the incident of the night before is inseparable from this group of smugglers. Now they left an undefended shipyard, and we still have a dozen guns, isn't it......"

"Le Franรงois, I suffered my first defeat under the betrayal of the whites." Sander's voice suddenly broke out, "Boston, our holy city, I have suffered a second defeat under the siege of the whites......"

"These two failures taught me a truth...... In the white world, we are too conspicuous to do anything we want to do. โ€

"Priest ......"

"We're going where we're stronger, we're going to go where whites are more lax."

The slaves were stunned for a moment: "Is there really such a place in this world?" โ€

"Yes." "Some of our brothers are from South America. In the territory of the Spaniards, in Chile, where there were many uprisings, where the brothers were more free! โ€

"Do you know why I sang to you the Exodus the night before?" He stood up, took off his mask, took off his gown, and untied the bandages covering his complexion, "I thought Boston was our Jerusalem, but later I found out that this is Egypt......"

"Our Promised Land is in the south, in Santiago, which God has revealed to us long ago, that is the land of Canaan where we will be free."

"It's time to get out of Egypt! Heavenly Father gave me a metaphor last night that will split the Atlantic barrier for us to ......"

"Uh...... Priest Leched. "There was an Indian slave in the corner who raised his hand weakly," the ...... Chile is in the southernmost part of South America, and it seems to be the Pacific Ocean......"

Quiescence.

Unprovoked silence.

It's embarrassing.

Sander was silent for a long time and responded solemnly.

This is the power of the Lord! He cleaved the Atlantic Ocean for us, but we took advantage of the white people's infighting to go from the land to Chile, and no one could even guess where we were going! โ€

"Amen......" whispered the slaves.

"We will have a smooth journey to the promise. We will join our brothers and fight for freedom. We will be with the Lord, and we will glorify eternal life. Ready to get started? โ€

"Amen."

"Will you follow the Lord's guidance with me?"

"Amen."

"Are you willing to dedicate your life on the road to fight for the future of your children and grandchildren, so that they can be born free?"

"Amen!"

"The glory of the Lord shines upon us, and when I see the fluttering feathers, I know that there are angels to protect us. That blessing points to the south, to our promises. โ€

"We will remember the Lord's teachings, not to rebel, not to flee, not to lie, and if there is any abandonment, let my companions spit on me, let my worshippers despise me, let the blade kill me, the fire burns me, and the flood floods ...... me."

"Let's sing it all the way, hallelujah, Amen."

"Amen!"

"Amen."

"Amen!"

The frenzy in the room broke through the apex, and Sander looked at it with tears in his eyes.

"Don't forget our dead brothers and let us carry their legacy...... Let's go! โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Wesley Street, Florist.

The door of the flower shop was closed, and because of the raid two days earlier, the whole Wesley Street was noisy, and there was no one near and far.

But Harry still bought pots of pure lilies from a few blocks away, like a mourner, looking directly at the beautiful Sieg face to face for the first time.

There was a hint of anger on Siggy's face.

"You've been missing for two days, idiot Harry!"

"Because we were ambushed at the shipyard, perfect ambush, neither Ryan nor I saw any clues."

Sigger's face tightened: "Edward. Kenway ...... Is he prepared? โ€

"It is not accurate to say that there is preparation, it should be said that the entire water tank has been a pocket for us from the beginning."

"What's going on...... Could it be arms? โ€

"It has long been handed over to the Saints, and the process of transportation has been concealed from the whole of Boston."

"How are our people?"

"Thirty-five men, except for Ryan, were all wiped out. Ryan was not badly wounded, and as he escaped from the sea, he found Rodney on a rocky beach. โ€

Seeger's feeling is getting worse: "Rodney ......"

"Covered in tung oil and chained, he was hung on the way of ships in and out of the back bay as a warning to pirates." Harry laughed to himself, "I've seen him at least three times since he disappeared, but because of this cover-up, I missed it perfectly." โ€

"You're not impulsive, are you...... I mean, you didn't collect his body, did you? โ€

Harry closed his eyes: "No, such an obvious trap, Ryan and I will not step on it a second time." โ€

"That's good." Sieg let out a long sigh of relief, and his expression finally relaxed, "It seems that we are being targeted, and although we may not have found me, you must have been exposed." โ€

Harry nodded, "What to do?" Do you want to evacuate? โ€

Sigurt was silent for a long time.

"Turn into silence on the spot." She said, "The Royal Secret Service has been seized in the past two days...... For now, we probably blame them...... But their seizure just diverted their attention, and the previous events were also reasonably explained. โ€

"And Kidalil was terrified. That poor man, who has a thief's heart and no thief's guts, will not be able to do anything until he regains his courage. โ€

"As for the evacuation ......," she smiled coldly, "even if we evacuate now, Clinton will rack her brains to throw us in more dangerous places, because the whole army hates us." โ€

"The 52nd Regiment has withdrawn to its homeland, and I heard that it is going to be transferred to India to make a fortune. At this juncture, we were stuffed back into New England and thrown into the eye of the storm in Boston. โ€

"What a ruthless big man, obviously ...... We're a meritorious soldier......"

Harry listened quietly, and when Sieg was finished, he bent down and placed the lily on the ground, towards the back bay.

"I'll take Ryan to Cape Cod by boat to recuperate, and I'll arrange for two people to wait for you here every day in the future, but it can't be limited to me and Ryan anymore. What are you going to do? โ€

"Let's pick up girls." Sieg covered his face and smiled, "Kidalil's daughter is very beautiful, and I've almost broken her these days. โ€

"Bend?"

"I'm wearing women's clothes. Two ladies rolling the sheets, what do you think is more appropriate? โ€

The tragedy and sadness were gone, and Harry felt sick to his stomach and just wanted to leave.

"May you be debunked by Gidalir and castrated and hanged on the cross! I believe that this will bring the entire civilized world to a new round of celebration. โ€

"It's cruel, little Harry."

"Goodbye, ma'am!"

"Why don't you stay and be happy, little Harry?"

"Nope! I don't think I'll want to be happy for the rest of my life, goodbye! โ€

To the sound of Sig's silver bells, Harry fled.

When he was far away, Sig calmed down, crouched down, and gently stroked the lily lace that was waving towards the sun.

Rodney ...... Is it dead? โ€

"Edward. Kenway, how did you find out? โ€

"Why do you think it looks familiar?"

"Is it because when we first met, I already had a premonition that you would be difficult to deal with?"

"It seems that there are too many warlike and warlike businessmen in this world."

"Right? Lorraine. Drake ......"
