575. Fantasy and Reality
From the mouth of the sailors who fished them out of the sea, Drake learned that he had just ambushed an Italian fleet. They were here because they had information that the wreck might be around, but the minions couldn't tell where the information came from.
Drake's heart is remorseful, no, it should be annoyed and almost crazy!
The other party just wanted to lean over and ask if he was also here for the shipwreck.
If they could, the Italians would want to join forces with them to salvage the wreck, and with their status as mercenaries at sea, who had always kept a low profile, they would not be asking too much.
You can be friends! You don't have to get into any trouble!
Drake almost wanted to vomit blood with remorse, he grabbed the Italian sailor standing next to him in a daze, and yelled at him, "Why don't you signal!" Why not give early warning! ”
The sailor trembled with fright, and said something in Italian.
The sailor next to him immediately translated: "I...... We sent the signal, but after changing the signal lights three times in a row, they all broke for some reason! I changed the flag, and I couldn't see it clearly at night! When we reached the distance of being able to speak Chinese, we were already bombarded by you! ”
Hearing this, Drake closed his eyes in pain.
This time the losses of his own fleet were not large, but he inexplicably made a feud with the Italians!
In today's delicate environment around Britain, any friend is worth cherishing, and any neutral person should go all out to fight for it!
But I ...... Who is to blame for this?
Who exactly leaked the news of the shipwreck?
Drake angrily pounded the side of the ship, he gritted his teeth and glanced at the Italian fleet that was gradually moving away, and his heart was broken!
No matter! We must take down the shipwreck and find the treasure!
As long as you find this money, even if Italy really comes to ask for guilt, you will not be afraid at all!
Thinking of this, Drake waved his hand, and his own men brought the Italian sailor down.
The first mate's arm was grazed by a stray bullet, and it was only then that he bandaged the wound and came to Drake's side with a tired face.
"Captain, what shall we do now?" The first mate asked angrily.
Drake glanced at him, then at the sailors on the deck who were cleaning up, gritted his teeth slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "How far are we from the target location of the original route?" ”
The first mate thought for a while before replying: "In addition to the influence of the wind direction and ocean currents, we also traveled a short distance in order to avoid shells in the battle, and according to the pilot's measurements, the distance we should be six or seven nautical miles from our original destination!" It's just ......"
Drake was a little annoyed in his heart, and you still sell it at this point? If you have something to say, you should say it directly!
"But what? Do you want me to ask? There was naturally displeasure, or rather, coldness in his voice.
The adjutant had been following Drake for nearly twenty years, and seeing the old man's face, he knew that his mood had been extremely bad, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately said what he thought.
"Captain, because our course has deviated, the fleet has reached a position that we didn't want to approach at all - it is said that the sea area where Columbus lost his way at sea back then, it is said to be very weird, and ordinary fleets are not willing to approach at all!"
The first mate's voice has taken on a trill, presumably he should have goosebumps on his neck at the same time as he spoke!
Drake had heard this statement, but he didn't want to delay his progress for this reason, so he asked with some displeasure, "Is there any basis for what you said?" Lost? Why get lost? Didn't he have a nautical compass? ”
Who knew that this time the first mate did not flinch again, and he said with some palpitations, "It is said that there is a kraken in this sea area!" They will destroy the instruments of the sea vessels! ”
"Nonsense!" Drake shouted angrily, "Where is the Kraken?" Immediately upload my command and drive at full speed to the destination! We must do whatever it takes to find the wreck as fast as possible! ”
This is the death order, the first mate still wanted to say something, but his mouth snorted twice, but he stopped again. Nodding, he turned to give the order.
Drake looked at the back of the first mate, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart. This old fellow of mine has been with him for so long, and this is the first time he has spoken to him with such an attitude.
But even he couldn't tell why he felt so manic and angry from the bottom of his heart.
The fleet began to turn around and head for its original destination.
What bizarre and weird place? It's just people scaring themselves!
Drake Ruth thought, but he didn't notice that before he knew it, the sea suddenly fogged up!
The fog was filled, and his vision was getting blurred and blurred, and by the time Drake reacted, he could barely see anything!
"Slow down the boat! Keep your distance! Drake shouted at the first mate.
To his despair, there was no one on the entire boat to respond to him!
"What about people? Where have all the people gone? Drake exclaimed, only to find himself in a dream world!
There is only one person in this world, and the whole ship is empty, just like a ghost ship, rowing aimlessly forward!
Yes! Ghost Ship!
This terrible name flashed through Drake's mind, but he saw that he was in such a situation!
He drew his sword and slashed everywhere! The sword of "Dang" slashed on the handrail of the ship's side, splashing dazzling sparks, and the tiger's mouth was also shaken and painful!
It's not a dream! But...... What the hell is going on?
Could it be that the legendary illusion is real? It is said that there are man-eating krakens in the Bermuda Triangle, who will suck people's souls and make people die quietly without pain or suffering!
Is it true that all of this is true?
Drake's heart suddenly gave birth to a strong sense of fear! That fear of the unknown and confusion made his adrenaline rush in his body!
He desperately waved the sword in his hand and shouted, "You come out!" Come out! I'm not afraid of you! Come out! I'm going to duel with you! ”
Drake mustered all the courage in his heart to find the demon hiding in the shadows and quietly attacking his soul.
But as time passed, he still didn't get anything.
"Dangchang!" The sword in Drake's hand fell to the ground with a crisp thud.
He has been fighting at sea for decades, and he has seen all kinds of strange situations, but thinking about it today, he knows that the situation is wrong, but he can't find a way to solve it, and this kind of distress is the first time for him!
For the first time in life!
He almost despaired, but no matter how much he motivated himself, he still couldn't get himself out of this terrible dream!
What the hell is wrong with me?
Drake kept asking himself in his mind.
Just when he was about to cry out in indignation, his eyes suddenly lit up and he woke up suddenly!
"Captain! You're finally awake! A voice came to Drake's ear that felt strange and familiar at the same time.
He turned his head to look at the man blankly, and his vision was a little blurry at first, but slowly he saw that this person was ...... It's your own first mate!
Immediately, Drake heard the sound of fierce artillery fire in his ears!
Could it be that I have entered another dream?
Drake looked up at the sun hanging directly above him, and asked the first mate a little blankly, "Haven't woken up yet?" What's going on? ”
The first mate, visibly sweaty, roared at Drake, "Captain! You've just been hit on the head by a fallen mast! Mixed up! Our position is exposed again! This time it was a real Spaniard! They are also looking for shipwrecks! We met and started a firefight! ”
The first mate's voice was filled with indescribable pain and anger! If he catches the leaker, he'll have to break this damn bug to pieces!
It doesn't matter who he is!
But the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the onslaught of the Spaniards!
Drake knew that he didn't have the strength to continue lying in a daze, and suddenly stood up from the ground, and a burst of intense vertigo almost knocked him out on the spot!
"Beware!" The first mate noticed that he was abnormal, and immediately rushed back to help him, Drake followed the strength of the first mate's hand to stand firm, and looked at the enemy ship not far away that was attacking with all his might!
This is a Spanish fleet that can be called a large fleet, at least twenty or more! It seems that the Spaniards have really made up their minds to snatch the sunken ship, and they are already desperate!
"Attack! Attack! They must not be allowed to break through the defenses! Drake shouted at the crowd on board!
What is left of him at this point? Except for the battle, other things really can only be put back!
He knew that if he was approached by the Spanish fleet, there was really only one way left to perish! But that's not where you go!
Drake roared, directing his men to rain a storm of cannonballs at the rushing Spanish fleet, in his mind, this battle was absolutely unsuccessful, and it would be a success!
At this time, the two sides were absolutely red-eyed for the legendary shipwreck, and the Spaniards rushed to the side of the British regardless of the direction together, and the British desperately blocked it!
In this battle, both sides actually have no way out.
If the British won, then the British will receive a lot of money to make their fleet even more invincible, so the Spaniards will definitely not agree.
But if the Spaniards win, then they will also have a huge and unexpected income, closing the gap with the British fleet, and the British will definitely not agree!
So in the final analysis, this battle seems to be a battle for the shipwreck in front of you, but in fact it is a battle for the national fortunes of the two countries behind all this!
This is a battle that no one can afford to lose! So, only forward!
"Charge! Charge! ”
"Shoot! Shoot! ”
On the sea surface of the Bermuda Triangle, the two sides in the battle collided together without any tricks, stirring up layers of heart-pounding and violent sparks!
