Chapter 559 Target: Newfoundland
At a time when the Governor is leading people to regain confidence for the entire colony, a hunt is taking place in the Caribbean.
As the one who was hunted, the Spanish galleon ran forward like a fat man, heavy and difficult, even if the sails were full of agitation.
But he was still inevitably overtaken by a slightly larger Galen ship in the rear, and when he got closer, the guns began to fire a salvo, aiming at the sailors on the deck.
The arquebus, the bow and arrow, were all put together and aimed at the brave sailors on deck.
The Galen ship, which was in hot pursuit, waited for the distance between the two ships to be no more than a man apart, and a dozen iron hooks with sharp iron claws viciously grabbed the side of the ship.
"Bang la-" The two ships that were originally parallel were suddenly linked together, one was fast and the other was slow, and then they suddenly shook, and the sailors on the ship grabbed their things and stabilized their bodies.
"Phew!" William the warrior's thick right hand touched the splash on his face, spat hard, and then excitedly looked at the cargo ship that had fallen into his arms, and grinned happily.
"I know that sooner or later you will be the prey in the hands of Lao Tzu, no matter how long you run! Hahahaha-"
"Guys, hurry up, the prey is already in hand!" Wielding a machete in his hand, he put his slightly cumbersome clothes on his body, and then, like a robber, jumped onto the captured cargo ship at once, caught a sailor, and slashed it fiercely.
Then, with lightning speed, he began to fight with his companions who jumped ship.
"Knock knock-" "Knock knock-" The chased cargo ship suddenly resounded with a burst of jumping, and then shouted to kill.
The knife quickly penetrated the flesh, the musket rang out, and the hand-to-hand combat was extremely fierce, and the tenacity of the opponent surprised William.
He frowned, the other party's stubborn resistance was really beyond his expectations.
Watching the opposing sailors gather together, back-to-back support, among them, a Spanish gentleman commanded fearlessly, the expression on his face was still calm.
Seeing this, William led his companions in great strides, towards the assembled group of sailors, and then used all his strength to slash with his broadsword.
Soon, under the fierce offensive, it didn't take long for the morale of the other party to be suppressed, the idea of fighting dissipated, and the sound of fighting stopped.
Desperate for the employer, which, in the eyes of the sailors, is not worth it.
"You're the captain?" William looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with blood stains on his face, and then at his calluses on his hands, a different smile appeared on his face, and asked in Spanish.
"Yes, sir!" The captured captain was very polite, or Sven, he was still polite in the face of this pirate who hunted him, and this kind of heartfelt cultivation convinced William and others.
"It can be seen that you have a very good set of leading people, if it is someone else, I am afraid you will turn defeat into victory!"
At this moment, William returned to his old aristocratic demeanor, and his blue eyes revealed a hint of appreciation.
"Introduce myself, from Southampton, England, William. Alger, it's a pleasure to meet you, dear sir! ”
The sailors on both sides consciously showed a gesture of respect, and watched quietly from the sidelines, without making the slightest sound.
The eyes of the captured captain were full of surprise, and he looked at the burly man covered in blood in front of him in disbelief, suddenly becoming a nobleman, and he was a little stunned.
"Hello, Captain Colin of the Spanish Benedict family. Isido. Guest! ”
"I didn't expect that an ordinary captain would have such water, and I always thought that the nobleman was in command? It was so unexpected! ”
William's burly body moved, and then said in an exaggerated tone, which made the captured captain's heart feel a little better, and his expression eased.
"Well, sir, follow me! Your former employer is not worthy of your allegiance! ”
With a look of appreciation, William asked his men to loosen the rope of the indifferent captain, and then asked with a smile.
"Do I have any other options?" The captain named Colin could only smile wryly, looked at the wolf-like sailors around him, and shook his head.
"Very good, I believe, this is the right choice for you!" William patted his arm happily, such a talent was exactly what he needed.
"Please let my family transfer over, though!" Captain Colin looked at William and whispered.
"Of course, it's a must, but do you speak English? I hate Spanish! ”
"Of course, in order to deal with the growing number of English merchants, I will also have some English!" Immediately, Colin explained in a blunt English.
"Very good, I appreciate you!" William looked at his indifferent eyes, and the joy on his face became more and more intense.
With the surrender of the captain, the other sailors followed suit, and the cargo ship of nearly sixty people, along with the men and the ship, was taken into William's arms.
"Sir, all you have on board the Asuka is tobacco and sugar, not any gold or silver!"
When Captain Colin heard that the Mr. William in front of him was the young son of the baron, his eyes immediately lit up, and then he reported respectfully.
"Although these things are useless to me at the moment, they can be exchanged for a lot of money, and they are not in vain!"
Hearing that there was no gold or silver, William's face immediately collapsed, and he muttered a little unhappy.
"However, your arrival is my biggest gain, sir!" Immediately, a relieved smile appeared on William's face.
"My lord, why did you come to the Caribbean with such a prominent position?" As the fleet sailed, the two grew acquainted, and Captain Colin was a little confused about William's arrival in the Caribbean.
The son of a baron, who should have a very prominent position and a very good life, suddenly wanted to come to the sea to find a life, which made him very puzzled.
"It's nothing, all of a sudden I like to come out and break in, take a look!"
William's burly body and lonely words made Colin suddenly startled, could it be that there is no story?
"Do you know Newfoundland?" William suddenly withdrew his gaze from the sea and asked Colin.
"Of course, it's a well-known fishing ground, and it's so rich in fish that many fishing boats go to fish!"
"I'm going there this time, but I'm not going to fish, I'm going to build a city!"
Speaking of this, William's face showed an inexplicable look of excitement.
"I'm going to build a city of England near there, a city of mine!"
Of course, the last thing I hope is to return to my hometown in a beautiful way and inherit the title because of your birth order.
