Chapter 636: Sneak Attack
A small ferry, carrying Isabel Walton, glides quickly through the calm waters of the port of Galachico, by two sailors. Their target was the small Galen armed merchant ship "Nemesis", which was docked on the northeast side of the port.
According to the plunder plan made before going ashore, two of Isabel's crew members, Baldwin and Fast, were already working on the plantation of the navigator Kasiano. However, when leaving the plantation, Isabel called the two of them to a secluded place and said a few words alone, "You must first hide in the plantation, and no one will find you until I bring them back." ”
Artillery Commander Fast was slightly stunned, and couldn't help scratching the back of his head to look at her, "Captain, why do you want to bring people back?" Do you think... Baldwin and I can't grab this plantation owner's treasure? ”
Isabel's head tilted to the right, staring coldly at Cassiano's two-story house, two or three paces ahead. After not seeing a single person, he whispered, "Before, I didn't think that this bastard was still a slave owner. So, with the strength of the two of you, you can't kill all his slave guards in a short period of time. ”
Then, he said briefly, "This is the territory of the Spaniards, we have too few men, and the artillery of the fleet is not large." Therefore, the fighting must be ended as soon as possible, so that other planters do not find out that there is looting. ”
Baldwin, who was silent, looked at her, folded his arms over his chest and nodded, "Captain, Fast and I will hide here." When you bring someone back, be sure that we send a code. ”
"Well, that's good. Now, Kasiano is on business with his men, get out of here. ”
"Captain, let's go."
"Be careful." Isabel whispered, and did not leave until Baldwin and the two disappeared into the sugar cane field on one side.
Later, Cassiano left his plantation with Isabel, Captain Hawkins and others in two carriages. Before leaving, he felt that the other party's entourage seemed to be missing, and hesitantly glanced at Isabel who boarded the carriage, "Miss Brenda, where are your entourage?" ”
Isabel leaned against the window and smiled at him, "I'll let them get back to the merchant ship early so that the sailors can be restrained." You know, as long as the captain is not around, the sailors will always get drunk and fight with people. ”
Sincere "attitude", friendly "smile" and half-truths "facts" made Cassiano, who had never seen a British theater performance, successfully coaxed by Isabel to pass. Grinning and laughing, "Miss, I used to get drunk many years ago when I was a sailor. However, the first thing I do when I'm drunk is to get a pretty woman to sleep with, hahaha......"
———————————
When Isabel returned to the Nemesis, she found that everything was in order. Subsequently, all the Duke's palace guards brought from the north were found in the crew cabins below the aft deck and on the open deck. After letting everyone enter the captain's cabin in the stern, he leaned against the captain's table with his arms folded and calmly looked at the guards standing in front of him and said, "Brothers, do you regret coming to Plymouth with me?" ”
Everyone look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads at her. A guard named Hall, who had a good relationship with Fast, looked at her and asked cautiously, "Captain, do you want us to go back to the north?" ”
"Stupid, we're on an island in the Atlantic Ocean right now, and you're going to swim back north?" Isabel laughed and cursed, which immediately drew a burst of laughter from the others.
"Captain, I don't understand what you mean. Oh, I mean my brothers and I are very happy in Plymouth, where we have everything. All kinds of good food, drinks, weapons, and... And..."
"And the pretty women who emptied your purse, huh?"
The guards present smiled embarrassedly, and Isabel shook her head helplessly, "Now, I'm going to assign you a task." Grab the treasure and kill a few more Spaniards, do you hear clearly? ”
Wei, who had participated in several missions to exterminate thieves, stretched out his right hand into the air and hurriedly asked, "Captain, are we going to set sail for the Spanish colonies in the Americas immediately?" ”
"No, right here, on this island."
"Great, captain, my brothers and I have almost forgotten how to kill people while we stay in Plymouth."
Isabel pursed her lips and smiled, "Now, I want you to go and prepare your weapons and cuirass immediately. Remember, we are legitimate raiders, and we want justice and justice from the Spaniards! ”
The guards present excitedly raised their right hands and shouted one after another, "Justice! Fair! Justice! Fair! ”
Soon, the eight Anglos from the north, or descendants of Vikings, dressed in vest-like leather armor, handguarded swords and daggers, and short-handled battle axes, ran from the crew cabin to the open deck as fast as they could.
Isabel, also dressed in leather armor and two short swords, carrying a longbow and a leather quiver full of arrows, pushed the door open from the captain's cabin. When he came to everyone, he gave a loud order with his hands on his hips, "Let's go!" ”
As they sailed to the harbor on two small ferries, Cassiano, the navigator who was on Captain Hawkins' merchant ship, was unaware of this. For at this time he was on the artillery deck below the open deck, and was interested in touring the artillery equipment of the merchant ships.
Soon after, Isabel and the others boarded the wharf and brought in two freight wagons to drive them to the plantation two miles west of the wharf. When the carriage was about to reach a fork in the road, Isabel ordered everyone to get out of the carriage and divide into two groups to prepare to enter the plantation on foot.
When everyone was half-crouched on the ground against the low wall in a line, Isabel took the longbow from her back and drew an arrow and put it on the bowstring, glancing at everyone, "Brothers, you can only kill the Spaniards, that is, the white people." ”
Wei Cong Hall stared at her a little puzzled, and whispered, "Captain, the Spaniards are originally white." ”
"There were also black slaves on the plantations. Again, only white people can be killed. ”
"Yes, Captain."
"Good, action."
Hall led a group of four on the left side of the plantation downhill, while Isabel had three guards follow her on the right side of the downhill. She walked down the slope and looked at the fork in the road behind. When he was halfway there, he still didn't notice anyone behind him, so he immediately gave an order to Hall on the opposite side, "There is the Spaniard's house in front, rush over quickly." ”
When the nine men quickened their pace and ran to the small square in front of the house, the two white slave guards who were chatting in the small square soon spotted the group of uninvited guests armed with various cold weapons.
