The Scarborough fired only a symbolic shot, and the French merchant ship not far away obediently slowed down and stopped.

Elmer's mood finally improved when he saw the other party so acquainted, and he sat down on the table on the deck and tied his napkin.

The first mate commanded the Scarborough to the side of the Sea Lion, and the officer candidate who spoke earlier couldn't help but say, "Sir, we should keep the gunners on standby and send someone up to check on the situation first." ”

The first mate's brows also furrowed, he is not a rookie who has never been to the sea, of course he knows what to do, no one likes to be taught such a lesson by a subordinate who keeps pointing his nose, in fact, if it weren't for Burnett's background, he would have been furious a long time ago, and it was not for nothing that this person was excluded by his colleagues before.

Sometimes it's a good thing, but it's just as offensive because it's not done in the right way.

"Do your part, Burnett." The first mate warned that he had indeed wanted to order the gunner to be on standby, but being tossed in such a way was as uncomfortable as eating a rat droppings, but after so many years in the navy, reason finally prevailed over emotion, and the order was issued in an orderly manner according to the original plan.

Burnett stood to the side, though he didn't speak, but he held his head up as if he had just won a big battle.

The first mate had the intention of pulling out his knife and cutting the cargo, but fortunately, at this time, the first team of 24 people had also boarded the French merchant ship opposite, and finally diverted his attention.

The captain on the opposite side was a Frenchman with slightly curly hair, standing on the deck with his sailors, who obviously knew what it meant to run into the Scarborough.

However, in the face of overwhelming firepower, even if he was unwilling, he could only honestly hand over the ship's cargo list.

The team leader pointed the musket in his hand at the surrendered people on the deck, and then sent a few men to the warehouse to inspect, and after a while, Zhang Heng and Marven in the kitchen were also escorted up.

The latter's calves were trembling all the time, especially when he saw the huge battleship, its dense barrels, and the black figures on it.

His appearance also amused the group of British sailors on deck, some whistling, others grinning, but one of them frowned and looked particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

"Lenny, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, I just think the guy looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him." A sailor named Ranny.

"I found out when you said that, too." The other chimed in.

The atmosphere on the deck grew tense in vain, but then the man continued, "He looks a bit like your wife, oh...... Poor little Lanny can't wait to come out and breathe~ Maybe our fat friend doesn't mind. ”

"you, Stephen!"

After the two of them broke through, the boat returned to its previous relaxed and happy state, this mission was very easy, most people did not pay much attention, and after a while, the people who went down to search also came back one after another.

"There's no problem, it's all porcelain underneath, and it looks good, the big guy can make a good fortune this time!"

When all the British sailors heard this, their faces were overjoyed.

The captain who led the team nodded, "Look after these people, I'll report to the first mate and the captain." ”

With that, he took the cargo list back to the Scarborough, and after a while, the sailors on the Scarborough began to mobilize.

In order to facilitate the return of cargo from the merchant ship, the first mate ordered more gangways to be laid, while about sixty new sailors laid down their weapons and went to the Sea Lion to carry porcelain with their hands free.

Listening to the footsteps overhead, the pirates in the mezzanine couldn't help but swallow their saliva, saying that so far, the plan has been smoother than they imagined, most of it has been completed, the Sea Lion and the Scarborough have successfully docked, and then they can launch an attack as long as the bare-handed British sailors board the Scarborough.

However, the more people are nervous at such times, for fear that an accidental person on the deck will discover the secret under their feet, and it will be a failure.

Among them, there was only one exception, he sat in the corner, his eyes closed as if he was asleep, his huge body was like a mountain in the night, his black beard rose and fell with his breathing, obviously the space in the mezzanine was very small, and everyone was crowded together, but there was no one within a step around him, and most of the people who chose to become pirates were unruly, but when they were in the same room with him, they were all well-behaved like kittens.

The eyes that looked at him were full of awe, as if they were looking at a demon god.

Obviously, the plan to attack the Scarborough was dangerous, and even if Orff's plan was in front of it, it would only be a five-five victory, but in the end, the majority of those who voted in favor of it, in addition to the temptation of money and treasure, perhaps the man in front of him also accounted for a large part of the reason.

- There is only another fear that can be countered by fear.

…………

The sailors on the Scarborough jumped into the Sea Lion one by one and happily drilled into the hold, and the people on the deck who were in charge of guarding Zhang Heng were also very relaxed, only the man named Lanny was still staring at Marven, looking like he was thinking about it.

The farmer's son was also very confused at this time, he didn't know anyone other than his father on this side of the New World, and he was caught by pirates on the way over, he was sure that he never knew the guy on the other side, and he didn't know why the sailors on the Scarborough kept staring at him, and Marven couldn't help but wonder if he really looked like the other party's wife?

Just as a few British sailors were giggling and discussing getting the money to go there and be happy, the guy named Lenny suddenly changed his face and shouted, "I see, they're pirates!! ”

As he spoke, he raised the musket in his hand as fast as he could, aiming it at Marvin, looking nervous.

The latter was horrified, not knowing where he had shown his feet, in fact, it was not only him, but Lenny's companions were also a little puzzled, and did not raise their weapons at the first time, but asked the latter, "What are you crazy about?!" ”

Lenny said quickly, "I remember where I saw him, I saw his portrait in the harbor!" About ten months ago, there was a merchant ship that was robbed by pirates, and the pirates killed the captain of the ship and many of the sailors on it, and only gave the remaining passengers a small boat, a bucket of water and a little food, but those people were later rescued by passing ships, and they said that four people on board had joined the pirates, and among them was this fat man, who had the most obvious features, so I remember it best, oh yes, the gang said that there was also an Oriental man, who should be the one next to him. ”
