The moment they saw the black flag, the pirates on the island all felt tears in their eyes.

Just nine days ago, they had witnessed the end of the world, black flags burning out on the surface of the sea.

Nassau's greatest pirate captain, Sam, the Black Prince, was killed in battle, the Swordfish sank, the Vader sank, and the Warrior sank...... Wails and screams everywhere, and the navy slaughtered their companions as if they were slaughtering livestock, and it was like a nightmare that hung over them.

This was the most painful defeat of pirates in Nassau's history, and the reason why the atmosphere on the island had become more and more oppressive over the past few days.

These men who had been through a hundred battles really lost all hope at this moment, and even had a trace of fear for those figures in red shirts.

Until the Jackdaw appeared, the black flag flying on the mast seemed to swear to the opposing navy that this sea did not belong to any country or anyone, and that it still favored all the warriors who sought freedom.

Walden took someone to make dumplings for the pirates, and of course he would not make such a mistake again, he parked the Kent outside the harbor, which was enough to monitor the movements of pirates on the island, and at the same time to guard against crises from outside the island.

Therefore, when the Jackdaw appeared, the ship's sailors were the first to spot the enemy.

Chris put down the bronze telescope in his hand, looking incredulous, "This...... How is this possible, how dare they come back?! ”

In fact, Chris was not very supportive of the manhunt, not because he was worried about the danger that only one ship might encounter on Parrot Island, but according to the bad weather at the time, there was a high probability that the Jackdaw would have sunk in the torrential rain, but Walden insisted on the iron-blooded principle that a shipload of pirates would not be spared.

And anyway, everyone is staying outside Parrot Island, so it is better to use this time to search for the Jackdaw, even if you find some wreckage to prove that the latter has sunk, you can get some more merit, so in the end, no one objected to this plan.

Chris didn't know how the Jackdaw survived the rainstorm or how the latter managed to sneak around to Parrot Island by avoiding the ships outside who were in charge of the search.

And now it seems that the other party's state is also very different from when he left, menacing, and there is no longer the embarrassment when he ran away with his tail between his legs before.

Walden grimaced, "I let them escape with good luck before, since they came back, don't go, hoist the sails, we'll meet them." ”

"Yes." Chris was ashamed of the panic that flashed in his heart before, as a Royal Navy, there was no reason to retreat at such a time, although the Jackdaw on the opposite side was also a battleship, but with the same firepower, how could the military be afraid of a group of pirates.

At the same time, Billy on the other side was also nervously paying attention to the movement on the other side, and when he saw the Kent moving, he said, "That guy named Ford doesn't seem to be lying, and the commander of the other side is quite conceited." ”

"Considering his previous resume and achievements, there are indeed reasons for conceit, and it is said that he was in charge of a sea area where there was much less piracy than other places."

"Why?" Harry asked.

"Because all the pirates there have hanged themselves by him." Zhang Heng said lightly.

Harry was apprehensive when he heard this, but of course he managed to squeeze out a fearless smile on the surface.

The red-haired girl is the most familiar with this product, who doesn't know that he is actually afraid of death in his heart now, and can't help but roll his eyes, this guy is the most active before every battle, pestering her to keep asking for battle, but when his wish is really realized, it is very real.

However, Anne didn't have time to take care of him now, Zhang Heng spoke, "Get ready to fight, remember, our ammunition reserves are not as good as theirs, and we will wait until we are close enough before firing." ”

"Understood." Billy nodded.

Then Zhang Heng asked again, "How are the musketeers preparing?" ”

"It's in place, ready to attack." Anne replied as she glanced at the row of musketeers on the side of the ship.

Zhang Heng specially learned about Walden, the commander of this fleet, from Ford, studied the other party's previous resume and combat habits, and knew that the latter was a hardliner in the navy, and his combat style was as tough as his temper.

Like to shoot close to the enemy ship, this is the most courageous way to fight, there is no tricks, who is the real warrior, who is the coward, at a glance.

And this is also in line with Zhang Heng's intentions, the gunpowder reserves on the Jackdaw itself are not as good as the Kent, if the other party tests first, they can't fight back in order to save ammunition It is a bit of a loss, and if they go straight to the point as soon as they come up, there is no such trouble.

However, Walden dared to choose such a dangerous way of fighting, and there was naturally a reason for him.

In addition to a good group of gunners, his musketeers were also very disciplined, and when the distance between the two sides was close to seventy, or even forty meters, the ship's musketeers could participate in the attack.

With his powerful firepower, Walden is often able to suppress the opposite deck at the first time, inflict damage on the opposite side, and seize the initiative, which is why he can be invincible.

He had only failed twice in the previous record, against a French warship with nearly twice as many guns on board, and once when he was attacked from behind.

But this time he knew the Jackdaw, which was the former Glory, and knew that the other side would not have reinforcements, so both sides were able to calm down, and they approached until a distance of almost fifty meters before turning together, and the sides were facing each other.

Zhang Heng's action was the fastest, and he seized the opportunity of the first wave of attacks, the Jackdaw was full of gunfire, and this round of shelling of the Kent was strong, but this also reflected the quality of the gunners on the ship, no one panicked when attacked, the wounded were carried to the infirmary at the first time, and the rest of the people launched a counterattack according to the order.

At the same time, Walden's most trusted musketeers can finally come in handy, and with Chris's order, the red-shirted musketeers pulled the trigger one after another, but what they didn't expect was that the pirates were already on guard, and the planks removed from the Miranda were not all used up, and the remaining part was used as a shield by the pirates to block the bullets.

When the gunfire on the other side became quieter, the pirates returned fire from between the gaps in the planks.

At this time, it didn't matter who was at the helm, Zhang Heng handed over the rudder to a sailor, and he himself joined the battle, Zhang Heng's lv2 shooting skills played a role again, and he prepared a total of six muskets for himself in this battle, and three people followed him specifically to be responsible for loading gunpowder and bullets for him.

It only took Zhang Heng three minutes to kill all the gunmen on the opposite lookout, and also killed the two officers opposite, but unfortunately Walden was very alert and stopped showing his head after realizing that there was a sharpshooter on the opposite side.
