Chapter 300: Keeping the Incense of Sin
The southwestern entrance to the Windward Channel and the southwest end of Lierge Island Reef. Fastest updates
On the Swordfish, Quinir's face was ugly at this time.
He didn't expect that the British Royal Fleet had already sent ships to wait here, and they were careless and crashed headlong into the pocket encirclement set by the other party.
Fortunately, the other party does not know what inevitable involvement there is between the hijacking of the Swordfish and the Interceptor.
In any case, the flying ghostflame flag on the Swordfish did not look like a flag that a normal caravan would use, but more like a pirate.
So it is conceivable that if they want to leave easily, it will not be easy.
"Quinnier, how do I feel the ship slowing down? Did something happen? ”
At this moment, with the sound of a crisp wooden plank trampling, Elizabeth's figure appeared on the upper deck.
Quinniel turned to Elizabeth and bowed slightly, then smiled wryly, "Miss Isa, we're in trouble. ”
Quinnir pouted to the east as he spoke.
Elizabeth looked down and was stunned when she saw some ships flying the cross flag rapidly approaching the Swordfish.
Obviously, she didn't expect the personnel of the British Royal Fleet to appear here.
"Don't worry, maybe it's just a coincidence, and the soldier on the other side of what Feng did shouldn't know yet;
Besides, with Miss Ben here, they didn't dare to do anything. ”
Quinir's expression was slightly softened, and he nodded, "I hope." ”
Soon, the Swordfish, which had already stopped under the coercive signal of the other party, was surrounded by seven or eight ships of various types.
At the same time, a fifth-class battleship approached straight forward and did not stop until there was only a little more than twenty meters left.
"Listen, the man on the other side of the ship, and call your captain to come out and answer."
Quinnir glanced at the swaggering middle-aged officer standing on the side of the battleship opposite, took a deep breath and stepped forward to answer.
"The smaller one is Quinnier, the captain of the Swordfish, who has purchased a shipment of rum and spices in Port Royal and is preparing to ship it to Holguin for sale.
It is a great honour to meet the adults of the Royal Navy's fleet here.
It just so happens that there is a barrel of thirty-year-old wine on the villain's ship, and if this adult does not give up, he hopes to accept this little heart. ”
Quinir's demeanor and tone were very respectful, and very upright, which made Mandel's heart very useful.
Glancing appreciatively, Mandel smiled, "It just so happens that there is no wine on the ship, and your mind is received by the official." ”
Quinnier's heart was relieved, and he waved his hand to let people take the ramp to send the aging over, and then asked with a smile:
"I wonder why you're on duty here?"
Hearing Quinir's question, Mandel's face suddenly sank, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I don't know where a bunch of daring people came out of nowhere, and they actually stole the Interceptor from the military port right under our noses!
We were ordered to patrol and intercept here.
Hum! It's good that those shameless people are not bumped into by the official, but if they are touched by the official, they will all be thrown into the sea one by one to feed the blood shark! ”
Mandel told the mission so bluntly and without the slightest concealment, and some of the officers around him looked ugly for a while.
Mandel, a worm, actually told all the tasks, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, isn't it a slap in the face when he says this kind of thing?
Only, what can they say?
Mandel is the commander of the second fleet, and he has the final say in everything here.
Mandel screamed angrily, and only after he had calmed down did he feel that something was wrong.
It's just that the words have been spoken, and it is impossible to take it back.
In order to hide his embarrassment, Mandel waved his hand and was about to give the order to let the Swordfish leave, but a figure caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye suddenly interrupted the action.
It was a stunning figure with an extremely beautiful figure, a fair and beautiful face, and a head of blonde hair that was silky and eye-catching;
Originally, Mandel hadn't noticed it, but at this time, the figure was stepping from the crowd to Quinnir's side, and Mandel was lucky enough to catch a glimpse.
Undoubtedly, such a stunning look is extremely attractive to any man, let alone Mandel, who is very in his own right?
Slowly lowering his raised right arm, Mandel straightened his collar, smiled at the Shadow Gentleman, and then looked at Quinir and said:
"Quinir, the officer suspects that your ship does not have a trade warrant, and that the flag looks like a pirate, so your identity is highly debatable.
If the charge of piracy is confirmed, you should know what will happen.
However, for the sake of your acquaintance, if you can let that young lady visit the officer's ship for a few days, everything will no longer be a problem. ”
As soon as Mandel said this, the audience fell silent, Quinniel looked at Mandel like an idiot, and Elizabeth was even more angry in her eyes;
Even some of the soldiers on the British ship were full of astonishment, as if they couldn't believe what they had just heard......
A small officer glanced at Elizabeth with a twinkle in his eyes, and then quickly took two steps forward and whispered in Mandel's ear:
"Lieutenant Colonel, that is Miss Isa, did you take the wrong medicine?!"
Mandel was furious, raised his leg and kicked the little officer who had kindly reminded him to the ground.
There is no doubt that Mandel's mood is extremely unhappy, and a small attendant officer dares to scold him for taking the wrong medicine, isn't this looking for death?
It's just that after coming back to his senses, Mandel was thrilled.
Miss Isa, this name seems very familiar, could it be ......
Although Governor Swan's real power in the army had been greatly diminished, his influence was still strong;
More importantly, Elizabeth was a target of Brigadier General Norrington, and was said to be engaged soon;
If this person is really Miss Elizabeth, the daughter of Governor Swan, then he will be in great trouble......
Elizabeth drew the Western sword from her waist and was about to point it at Mandel to be furious, but several terrible sirens suddenly sounded from the southwest.
The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became even tighter, and everyone's attention was shifted to the sea level in the southwest, where several warships were rapidly heading towards it.
As we get closer, we see things more clearly......
Mandel hadn't noticed anything at first, but after his men's reports, he was surprised to find that the flags on those ships were exactly the same as those on the Swordfish in front of him.
And more importantly, under the blowing of the west wind, there was a strange fragrance faintly coming from those battleships.
This fragrance is very faint and faint, and if you don't pay special attention, it is difficult to smell it with your nose, but the reaction of the red-billed parrot confirms its existence.
The fragrance is the fragrance of the sin incense made by using special raw materials and processes.
The so-called sin incense, as the name suggests, is that someone has committed a crime, and it is a kind of incense that can guide law enforcers to quickly find the criminal.
Due to its particularity, the complexity of the process, and the scarcity of the production, the British Royal Navy was only equipped with warships of the fourth class and above.
And under normal circumstances, it will not be used at all, unless it encounters large prey, or the battleship is in danger of sinking.
Considering the intricacies of naval warfare above the sea, the launcher of the incense is also carefully designed.
It has a range of nearly a kilometer and is extremely small enough to be detected.
The Royal Navy has not made any major moves in the south-west recently, and the chances of some small fleets sinking in a crisis are also very small;
There is only one possibility in front of us, and that is that those warships are definitely the culprits who sank the police patrol fleet last night!
Thinking of this, Mandel's heart suddenly couldn't help but feel nervous, and after a few serious visits, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This was so because Mandel feared that the looted Interceptor was among them;
With the might of the Interceptor, it would not be a problem for them to block it for a while, but if they wanted to sink it, it would be extremely difficult, and if they didn't do it, they would suffer heavy losses.
It's just that at the moment, it seems that the Interceptor is somehow not among them.
Relaxed, Mandel grinned at the corners of his mouth, and turned his eyes to look at Elizabeth on the Swordfish, with greed and excitement in his eyes.
Since the flags hoisted by both sides are exactly the same, whether there is a necessary connection between the two or not, you can completely classify them into the same category!
It would be a great sin for the Governor's daughter to be mixed up with the pirates who plundered the Interceptor and attacked the Royal Navy.
Under such a fierce war situation, the Governor's fate is not impossible to say in the past......
"My lord, will you immediately meet and slaughter those shameless pirates?"
"No, no, no, don't be in a hurry, the other party shouldn't know that he has been exposed;
In that case, we can pretend not to know, put them all in the encirclement, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop! ”
There was a sly smile on Mandel's lips, and his expression was very calm.
"High! Adults are tall! Hehe, that way it won't be a no-brainer.
However, what should be done with this Swordfish? And ......"
"Leaving the three battleships to continue to surround and suppress the Swordfish, and at the same time order the rear battleships to quietly press and form a pocket ambush circle from the periphery;
Send another quasi-fifth-class battleship to guide the seventeen battleships.
Remember, tell them not to show their feet, although the battleships on the opposite side are not like warships, but the firepower should be good, and if we do it hard, our damage will not be small.
This is a good opportunity to make great contributions, so that the brothers cheer up! ”
"Yes!"
On the other side, facing the mighty British Royal Fleet in front, the ships of the Infinity Fleet showed no signs of slowing down...... (To be continued.) )r
