Governor Weatherby Swan and Brigadier General James Norrington in the Governor's Palace, after a moment's discussion, were in a helpless silence, and now, of course, they saw the commotion and the smoke of the city, and the occasional sound of gunfire and screams and screams mixed with laughter in the distance.

Now, the two of them don't dare to rush into the army anymore, otherwise, once they run into those witches who are still stranded in the city, it will be completely finished!

Now the morale of their army has fallen directly to the bottom, just now, when they heard that the witch entered the city again, the troops outside already seemed to be a little rioty, and the officers were no longer able to suppress them, if they were sent out casually and let the witch kill them again, it is estimated that these soldiers, who were already like frightened birds, would immediately scatter and flee for their lives, right?

Whether it is the soldiers below, or Governor Swan and Brigadier General Norrington, they are all human beings, as long as they are human, they are all desperate for their lives, and they really can't raise the determination to resist in the face of witches who are invulnerable and can cast terrifying magic.

The hundreds of lobster soldiers who are still stationed around the Doge's Palace have not broken up and fled until now, which is already a good indication of the strict discipline of the British Royal Musketeers in this era, and they really can't be too harsh on them. You know, they would rather fight with the enemy of another country, fight against the enemy country's warships, or even play in line to shoot, rather than play with the witch anymore, because it is not a battle at all, but a death!

Don't say anything about witches, just thinking of the flaming giant bear who caught the cannonball with his bare hands, and the thought of that monster reaching out to catch the cannonball they shot out, it was almost enough to make these soldiers collapse, and taking the cannonball with his bare hands, that is something that a mortal can do?

Therefore, the current governor and brigadier general can only hope that the witches will leave on their own soon, and then let them free up their hands to calm the current troubles and clean up the mess in Port Royal.

As long as there was no such terrible witch in the city, they believed that with the hundreds of valiant royal soldiers under their command, it would be a joke to clean up the rioters, villains, or opportunists.

Brigadier General Norrington and Governor Swanton stood silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Governor's Palace's meeting room, looking at the distant scene silently, and no one mentioned the matter of sending troops to suppress it.

After some discussion, they have reached a preliminary consensus: since the loss of Port Royal is inevitable, then, wait for the witch to leave with peace of mind, and then send troops to quell the chaos, and in the end, blame the witch for all the loss!

Anyway, the witch's hideousness and cruelty, many citizens have witnessed it with their own eyes, and the report is written, and they are not afraid to go up and down to investigate, at that time, but at least two or three thousand people saw the witch at the scene, this thing can't be faked, they can really justifiably blame all the blame on the conflict between the church and the witch!

Maybe...... Some of the deficits in the past can also be filled one by one with this opportunity? Maybe they'll be able to make a fortune? You know, Port Royal's annual tax revenue is very amazing! When the time comes, take this money and do some activities when you return to China, maybe, the position can still take the opportunity to move up?

Norrington...... I wonder if the guards on the other side of the vault can guard against witches? ”

Governor Swan's seemingly casual words made his heart beat wildly several times when he heard Norrington's ears.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, and there aren't many guards over there, or even fewer than here, so...... If the witch had gone there, she would have been unable to hold it. ”

Norrington seemed to understand something, but he still answered the Governor's question truthfully, if the witch did go to the vault, that manpower would indeed not be able to hold it.

"It seems that Port Royal is really going to lose a lot this time, alas......"

Governor Swan let out a long sigh, and then he and Norrington looked at each other, and tacitly turned their heads to continue to look at the chaos in the harbor in the distance, both of them had just seen a glimmer of uncertainty in each other's eyes, and knew what was in each other's minds.

"The Governor is right, the loss is really going to be big!"

This thing can be done well after the witch leaves.

Anyway, the current troubles are caused by the church, and they have already worked hard, and the soldiers have also suffered heavy losses, with at least three or four hundred casualties, what else can they do in the face of those witches who are not even afraid of cannons?

When the time comes, everything will be wiped out, everything will be the fault of the witches and the church, and the governor and the brigadier general will only suffer from the fish in the pond, and they will also be victims, which is indeed a fact!

"You're going to spend it here all the time? Don't do something? ”

Elizabeth also saw the chaotic scene that had begun to spread outside the window in the distance in the city, and couldn't help but look at the two most powerful men in Port Royal in the room: one was the governor of Port Royal, and the other was the commodore of the navy. Do nothing? Elizabeth thought it was a bit incredible, and she couldn't understand what was going on in the minds of the two men.

"Elizabeth, things are far from being as simple as you think, not to mention, there are witches in the city...... We simply can't afford to lose more. ”

Governor Swan, who was interrupted from his thoughts, could only turn around and look at his baby daughter helplessly, some things can only be understood by understanding, even if it is his own daughter, he can't say it too clearly.

"That's right! Elizabeth, you should know that we can't afford to risk the lives of our soldiers, and besides, we only have a few hundred soldiers left, and we've done our best. ”

Norrington also said to the side, in this short half a day, his soldiers ran and died, and there were only so many people left outside who could still be under his command and control, and as for the rest, I still don't know where they are hiding.

As for those ordinary city managers? They can't be expected to fight witches or thugs with guns, who are nothing more than dying!

Now, they really can only wait like this, before the situation is over, they really can't waste their precious troops and manpower, otherwise, after the witch leaves, they may not even have the strength to quell the chaos, and at that time, it will really be over!

"As long as you don't attack witches, witches won't attack you, right? Can't you go and quell the chaos first? How many more people will die if this continues? ”

Elizabeth retorted dissatisfied, she was at that time, but she had witnessed the witch in the carriage, the little girl, whether it was before the beginning or when she was furious, she did not kill innocents or anything, only the person who attacked her, she would fight back.

"Alas...... Elizabeth, you are naïve, things are not so simple! Okay, you better go back and rest first. ”

Governor Swan sighed, he felt that Elizabeth could no longer be allowed to make trouble here, and waved his hand to the maids to take her upstairs to rest, with her precious daughter here, he and Norrington had a lot of things that were inconvenient for both him and Norrington to say.

"Hah! You two, what a disappointment! ”

Elizabeth looked at the two of them indignantly, then lifted her wide pleated skirt and strode to the bedroom upstairs of the Doge's Palace.

"Alright, Norrington, let's come over and talk about something."

After watching his daughter finally go upstairs, where only he and Norrington were left, Governor Swan greeted the other with a slightly embarrassed smile and motioned for Norrington to sit down with him and discuss some things.

Norrington nodded, expressing his understanding of His Excellency the Governor, after all, this vexatious girl was his future wife, and he still had a little more tolerance for his beautiful fiancée.

"Norrington? What do you think...... After the riot caused by the witches subsides, how much wealth will be lost in the vaults of Port Royal? ”

After taking out two empty glasses, pouring himself and Norrington a glass of fine red wine and touching each other, Governor Swan finally asked.

Now the warehouse has not been affected by the riots, but there is the financial revenue of Port Royal for nearly a year and the various treasures looted by the nearby colonies and stored here!

That's a lot of treasure and gold bars, plus hundreds of thousands of gold coins of all kinds! By the way, there must be countless other silver coins and treasures and other valuables that are ready to be loaded back to the mainland when the monsoon arrives the next year.

An area as important as the Port Royal Vault, as it stands to its name, is strictly guarded! Before, when he saw the riots, Brigadier General Norrington sent another hundred royal soldiers to the vault to increase the number of guards, giving the thugs a hundred dares, and they did not dare to storm it.

And the reason why Governor Weatherby Swan just said this is just to hint at Norrington: this time, how much benefit should the two of them swallow appropriately?

The reason why he asked this is very reasonable and ingenious! It can be understood by both parties, and it is not afraid of unnecessary trouble if it is overheard.

Otherwise, he must not be allowed to say directly to the governor: Hey! Norrington, how much money should we embezzle this time? And then how are we going to separate the dirt?

If he really dared to say this, I'm afraid Brigadier General Norrington would arrest his father-in-law as soon as possible, right? A fool who can say such brainless words, whoever dares to cooperate with him again is a pig!

"Hmm...... I think that this incident is so serious, the witches are so rampant, and the thugs take advantage of the chaos to attack, I am afraid that the loss will not be small! ”

Norrington's eyes narrowed slightly, and he understood what His Excellency the Governor meant, and then, after a little silence, drank a sip of red wine and slept on his mouth, he replied tentatively:

"I think the loss could be as high as 80 percent! Or even more? You know, our soldiers have suffered too many casualties, and after those thugs and witches have stolen the treasure, it is really difficult to chase them, and when they run away to sea, where do we go to find them? It's really more than enough to do it......"

Norrington's meaning is also very direct, according to his meaning, it is to win at least eighty percent or even more! This witch incident has killed a lot of his henchmen, and he desperately needs some extra income to pay for his bereavement and continue to win the hearts of his subordinates.

"Won't you...... How can the losses be so high? If the king and the parliament are held accountable, things will not be easy......"

Governor Swan thinks, will this appearance be too ugly? According to his original meaning, it was almost enough to take half of it.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the witches' fire magic is so powerful, and with those mobs fueling the flames, it's good that we can get a piece of work back from the burned vault!"

Norrington means: Don't worry, after the deed is done, just set a fire to the vault, and then grab some mobs to plant the stolen goods, and then return all the responsibility to the witch and the church, to ensure that things will be foolproof! Therefore, he decided to eat ninety percent, and sent his most trusted subordinates to do these things, and when the time came, he would share them a little more, and no one would go out and talk more!

What a godsend! You can't be merciful!

"That's right...... Well, let's not talk about these sad things. ”

Governor Swan paused, pretending to be sad, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, before he stretched out one hand and spread it out, pretending to play with five fingernails with the fingers of the other hand, and said to Norrington, who was sitting next to him:

"My dear Norrington, my son-in-law, what do you think of my six nails?"

Seeing the Governor suddenly change the topic and talk about nails, Norrington was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood what His Excellency the Governor meant.

Looking at the six fingers spread out on the table, the corners of Norrington's mouth couldn't help twitching, this old thing, he actually wants to swallow sixty percent alone? This is unreasonable! Then, he pretended to be serious and looked at the nails.

"I think these two nails are well trimmed! Other...... No way! ”

Norrington shook his head expressionlessly, he was specifically responsible for this matter, taking risks and getting the benefits in his hands, but he had to share a considerable part of it with his subordinates, where could he directly take sixty percent of this old thing? Was this to make Norrington drink the Northwest Wind himself?

"Really? But...... I think these five nails are well trimmed! ”

Governor Swan's face sank, this little rabbit cub is too ugly to eat! He only plans to give himself two percent? This is absolutely not a no-no! Then, he thought about it, and he wasn't ready to ask for more, so he directly stretched out a slap, divided five or five equally, and no one took advantage, this should always be okay, right?

"There's such a thing? Yes! I seem to have missed a little bit just now, and this nail is pretty well trimmed, but as for the rest, it's really not good......"

Norrington and the squadron looked at each other for a while, and finally reluctantly pointed to another fingernail, which he meant: give you thirty percent at most, no more!

"No, no, no! Look, Norrington, these nails were trimmed for me by my daughter Elizabeth, and they must be pretty good, right? ”

Thirty percent is too little, so Governor Swan quickly played the family card, he is ready to marry his baby daughter to the other party, and now it is always okay to take one more percent, right? After all, they will be a family in the future!

"Well, that looks good......"

Four is forty percent, no matter how much it is, it will never work!

After all, Norrington's sixty percent, but there is still a lot to give to the soldiers, and in the end, there may not be more than this old guy's! I hope that when the time comes, when this old guy marries his daughter, he will be able to get a little more dowry, right? He just has a daughter, Elizabeth, right? After that, this old bastard is dead, isn't it cheap himself?

"Report, report!"

A soldier hurriedly rushed in, and when he saw two big men, as if they were counting their fingers, studying their nails and tasting them vigorously, he couldn't help but curse in his heart!

These soldiers, they, are still preparing to fight the witch to the death, and these two officials, a governor and a general, are actually playing with their nails here?

"What's so panicking? You are a glorious royal soldier, and you must be disciplined! ”

Norrington stood up very dissatisfied, and snorted coldly, this herald didn't shout a report when he came in? Fortunately, what they just talked about was not afraid of others listening, otherwise, he would have lost his heart!

"I'm sorry, Brigadier General! It's a woman, a woman...... Witch! Here they go again! And they're coming to us! In total, there are six or seven! ”

"What? How could there be so many witches! ”

When Governor Swan heard this, he stood up in shock, and so many witches appeared, this Nima is still dirty!

It seems that the result of the discussion he had just discussed with Norrington was that the matter of preparing to divide the treasury treasure was out of action for the time being! For now, they still have to think about how to save their lives!

Governor Swan didn't understand, these witches, why did they stay so ghostly? As the saying goes, there are debtors and masters, it is the church that persecuts them, and it is the church that wants to burn them to have a party, so what's the matter, go directly to the cathedral in Port Royal?

Governor Swann dared to promise in God's name that no matter whether these witches were killing people or setting fires to the cathedral, they would never send any soldiers to meddle in their affairs!

His request is actually very simple, as long as these witches are killed and burned, just leave his port royal as soon as possible, and if he continues to toss like this, this city may be destroyed by these witches!
