Chapter 254: Nassau in Confusion
It's been a week since Amami returned to Nassau, and Edward Kenway's condition hasn't been much better. He still didn't want to go home, but he still drank every day, and he was a little confused. Until recently, some bad news came.
Several founders of the pirate communist states are arguing.
Rumor has it that the new governor of the Bahamas, Nassau, Woodes Rogers, is ready to grant amnesty to all pirates. This rumor had been spreading in Nassau for a long time, and Charles Vane believed that it was a ploy by the British Navy to weaken himself and others before attacking the area. Edward Thatch and Benjamin thought it was true, and Edward Thatch got the news from other captains.
Amami Shu calmly looked at Nassau's uneasy atmosphere, "It seems that the storm is coming. ”
Edward Kenway finally stopped drinking, after all, the situation in Nassau was critical at this time, on the one hand, it was rumored that the British were going to lead a ship to attack Nassau, and on the other hand, there was an outbreak of plague in Nassau. This has made things worse for Nassau, and several of the leaders of the pirate republic have been depressed lately.
Thatch and Benjamin sat down with Osamu Amami.
"It's not clear now, friends, I suggest we keep a low profile for the time being, and it's better not to anger the King." Benjamin suggested.
"I don't care about the King, Ben." Thatch said dissatisfied.
"You'll care when their army arrives here." Benjamin looked around, his eyes a little disappointed, "Look around you, this place is no different from a dunghill, would you want to sacrifice your life for this dunghole?" ”
The situation here is getting worse by the day, the air is full of stench, the streets are full of rats, and the grass and woods are littered with rotting animal carcasses. After drinking and eating in the tavern, these pirates defecated and defecated on the streets. Maybe you're walking down the street and you'll find yourself stepping on something soft, and there's no doubt that you've gone "shit luck".
"That's right, this is our country." Thatch does not deny Benjamin's description of the island's current situation, which is a reality, a reality that is already in front of us. But as he said, "Remember? Our ideals! A free country full of free people. ”
"Maybe it looks bad, but isn't that what we're fighting for?"
"I didn't know, after years of hard work, I only saw sickness, laziness and stupidity." People who become pirates are either forced by life or yearn for freedom. But their indulgence has led to the island's deterioration. Looking at the painful snort of a man lying on the ground on the side of the road, this island has become too far from what he expected.
"The situation in Nassau is not hopeless." Tianjian Xiu interjected appropriately.
"Nassau is an island of freedom, but we also need some rules to govern it, and freedom does not mean indulgence. Under the premise of absolute freedom, it is they who can understand what freedom is, not act arbitrarily. ”
Just like the Assassin's creed, everything is void and everything is the same. It's not that you don't believe in anything, you can do anything.
"The plague is manageable." "The spread of the plague was due to the decaying corpses and the unscrupulous excretion of people. We don't restrict their freedom, but some people are always responsible for their actions, aren't they? ”
The dying people on the street have paid the price for their actions.
"The British navy won't move that fast, so we should solve the problems on the island first, such as the plague, such as those who are not particularly sick." Amami Shu suggested: "The gap between us and the country is very large, and the gap between the medicine is simply the difference between the sky and the sea, so we should get a large number of medicines." ”
"To grab the medicine?" Edward Thatch said.
"The fastest way to get medicine is naturally to grab it." After all, they are pirates, and when they get what they need, their first reaction is naturally to rob. Tianjian Xiu did not stop him from hurting.
"But it's not a way to keep grabbing." Amami continued, "First snatch a batch of medicines from the British army and the Spanish army, and I hope you don't do it from those merchants. After this batch of medicines was robbed, we used the money from the robbers in the royal hands to obtain certain items from the merchants. ”
Pirates basically relied on robbery to make a living, and buying things from merchants was obviously not in line with their style. But not everything depends on grabbing. If you don't spend this kind of gold, then this thing is really useless except for being able to reflect light.
"Even if Woodes Rogers' army does come, it won't come in a short time, and they will have to think about our firepower."
Originally, Nassau's firepower was not particularly strong, although there were often a large number of pirates coming and going here, but those pirates were really not particularly powerful, neither the firepower nor the number of people was high. And they don't have a sense of belonging here, if something happens, they'll be gone. What's more, Woodes Rogers issued an order to pardon pirates, these pirates may rebel at any time, then it will be really dangerous at that time. The front was fighting with the British army, and the pirate friend in the back suddenly fired a bad shot.
In addition to these pirates, Nassau's main combat force was Edward Thatch's Queen Anne's Revenge, Benjamin Hornigold's 'Benjamin', Charles Wayne's 'Ranger', and Edward Kenway's 'Jackdaw'. Coupled with the galleon that Julian DiCasse had gotten earlier, the firepower here was enough to resist the British army.
Amami Xiu, who knows the plot, these are not big problems for him, and the biggest problem is Benjamin's rebellion. In the game, this guy accepted the invitation of the British royal fleet when they arrived in Nassau, became a pirate hunter, and later joined the Templar Order, eventually killing Blackbeard Thatch.
"Edward, I've got a mission for you."
"What's the matter, tell me." Now that Nassau was in an emergency, Kenway had no time to grieve his father's affairs.
Amami Shu said: "You have been paying more attention to the affairs of the Templars lately, after all, you are a Templar, and it is best to get the number of their fleet and firepower." ”
Kenway nodded, "Well, I can't guarantee that I'll get the information, but I'll try." ”
"Thatch is looking for a good target to grab a batch of medicines, you don't have to grab too much, you have to protect yourself first."
"Benjamin stays in Nassau, keep an eye out for the pirates here. Then there's the environmental problem on the island, as I said before, send out a mission to hire someone else to clean up the island, contact Charles Vane, kill all the pirates and creatures infected with the plague, and then burn them in the mines in the back mountains. It's time for them to take responsibility for their actions. ”
"I'll try to get the rest of the medicine."
Things are arranged for the time being, Benjamin and Thatch have a good relationship with Tianjian Xiu, and his arrangement can solve the current situation, so they naturally will not object. After settling down, several people began to act separately.
Amami goes to find the only merchant he knows, Stad Bonnie.
