The Portuguese sailors, armed with heavy Spanish arquebuses, saw a large group of hideous-looking pirates with various cold weapons rushing in their direction, and they threw down their arquebuses in a panic and turned around. However, their maritime lieutenant ran behind everyone and pulled out his handguard sword and glared at the sailors viciously, "No one is allowed to run, there is a reward for killing pirates!" ”

At this moment, the captain of the Portuguese merchant ship stood up from the deck, glared at the pirates rushing in front of him with great horror, and cried out in half-baked English: "Gentlemen, we are willing to surrender!" ”

Isabel Walton, the captain of the "Nemesis", who was the first to rush in front of the Portuguese captain, held two cold and glittering swords in both hands, one long and one short, raised her left foot and aimed it at the captain's chest and kicked it over. The captain felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then fell on his back on the deck.

The captain struggled to lift his upper body, clasped his hands on his chest and glared at the "female pirate" who had kicked him down. At this time, the ears were already filled with the roars of countless men, the chaotic footsteps running around on the deck, and the "clanging" sound of metal colliding.

For a moment, he seemed to hear the "pirate woman" seem to say to someone, "Baldwin, go find their navigator and hold him in the captain's cabin......"

The captain was about to hear something more from the pirate, but he saw a strong man in leather armor and high riding boots, and holding a handguard sword about a yard long, raising his right foot and stepping on his chest, stomping himself to the ground. While smiling, he stabbed the sword in his hand into his chest......

When the artillery commander Fast stabbed the captain to death with a sword, he found that his captain, Miss Isabel, had already rushed to the Portuguese near the stern. He drew his sword from the captain's chest and ran in the direction of Miss Isabel without hesitation.

When Isabel rushed all the way into the crowd of Portuguese sailors, she stabbed left and right, and slashed and killed four or five sailors in a row, and then found that the other side's maritime lieutenant was standing in front of her. At this time, the deck next to the two of them was full of English sailors and Portuguese sailors who were fighting each other.

She was standing three or four paces away from the Adjutant de Marto, blood slowly dripping from the blades of the two swords in her hands on the deck. Gazing at each other closely, he raised his chin and said something in English, "Hey, Portuguese, you want to kill me, huh?" ”

The adjutant of maritime affairs glanced to the left and right to find his crew members falling to the ground one by one. Raising his right arm, he pointed the tip of the sword at the other and shouted in Portuguese, "Evil woman, I will definitely kill you." ”

"Idiot, do you only speak Portuguese?" Isabel cursed, changing her English to Spanish and said to Adjutant Maritime, "If you still don't understand what I'm saying, I'll have to take back your chance to escape." ”

After the brave fight of Captain Hawkins and hundreds of sailors on four privateers, fewer and fewer Portuguese were still alive on the Portuguese merchant ships. In addition to a large number of dead people, only bloodied English sailors and a few privateer captains remained on the open deck.

Captain Hawkins, with a blood-stained sword, walked up to Isabel's side, glanced at the adjutant on the other side, and then said to her, "Captain, let me kill this bastard for you." ”

Isabel raised her right arm and put the sword in her hand in front of Captain Hawkins, her eyes kept on the enemy opposite, but she only whispered, "Captain Hawkins, take the rest of the people and get rid of all the remaining Portuguese, except for the navigator and this guy." ”

"Uh, okay." Captain Hawkins agreed and glanced at the two men a few more times, and then ran with the other Englishmen towards the lower deck. The Portuguese adjutant of maritime affairs stood motionless and asked in fluent Spanish, "Woman, why are you giving me a chance to escape?" ”

Isabel pouted, "Because you're the one who gave the order to shoot me." ”

"You're a pirate, there's nothing wrong with me giving the order to shoot at you and your people!"

"You are wrong, sir, that we are lawful raiders and are on a mission to get justice."

"Woman, what did you say?"

Isabel turned her head to look at the Atlantic Ocean on one side, smiled lightly and glanced at the other party, "I have a lawful privateering document issued by His Majesty the King. So, I'm not a pirate. ”

The adjutant of maritime affairs gritted his teeth and glared at her, "Bastard, I don't care if you are a pirate or not, if you want to kill me, come and come!" ”

———————————

The maritime adjutant, with his eyes open and his mouth slightly open, lay motionless, blood gushing out of the wound in his throat like a fountain, instantly staining the deck below him. His eyes were wide open to prove that he didn't believe it was true, and his mouth was slightly open as if he wanted to say something.

At this moment, his body seemed to move, and the amplitude of movement became larger and larger. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that one of the two English sailors was holding him by the feet, and the other was holding him by the shoulders with both hands to carry him to the vicinity of the bow tower, and threw them on several Portuguese sailors' corpses.

At this moment, the "female pirate" Isabel who killed him was sitting in the captain's cabin, with her legs resting on the captain's desk, holding a logbook and looking at it with interest. After looking at it for a while, he looked up at a bearded man sitting in the right corner, and said in Spanish, "Pedro, is your name Pedro?" ”

Frustrated, the frightened man quickly stood up and bowed to the "female pirate", "Yes, ma'am. ”

"Well, you can call me Captain in the future. As long as you don't rebel against me, I'll look at you like my own sailor. Still speaking calmly, Isabel turned her gaze to the Adjutant of Maritime standing on her left, and said in English, "Baldwin, bring a chair to the navigator." ”

Isabel didn't kill the Portuguese navigator for his brain, which stored a wealth of marine knowledge about the sea breeze, currents, weather, and routes. She believed that the navigator, Pedro Almeida, would allow her fleet to reach any Portuguese colony east of the "Papal Meridian."

Baldwin brought the navigator a chair and asked him to sit at his desk. Isabel looked at the Portuguese navigator sitting in front of her and smiled lightly, "Pedro, now you are the only Portuguese living on this Portuguese merchant ship, so I hope you can understand who you are with." ”

The panicked navigator hurriedly replied in Spanish: "Captain, I can tell you everything you want to know." ”
