"Are we safe now?"

After two rounds of heavy shelling at close range, the Jackdaw miraculously did not sink, but stumbled out of the harbor.

The red-haired girl asked, pulling out the broken piece of wood that had been inserted into her shoulder.

Zhang Heng couldn't move when the armed ship on the opposite side opened fire before, and Anne decisively blocked in front of him, although the two were lucky not to be hit by the cannonball, but the splash damage caused by the cannonball falling on the deck was actually the most dangerous for the personnel on the ship, and this part of the damage was basically borne by the red-haired girl.

Not only the wound on her shoulder, but also Anne's arm, calf and cheek were scratched to varying degrees, but the red-haired girl was stunned and didn't say a word during this time.

Zhang Heng didn't express his gratitude, and there was no longer a need for verbal thanks for the relationship between the two, he took off his clothes and bandaged the latter, and said.

"I don't think so, if they don't have an advantage in firepower, they might just let us go, but now we can't use so many ships to deal with those people on the beach, so they will definitely split up and chase us."

As soon as Zhang Heng's words fell, the shadows of two armed ships appeared in the smoke behind him.

They must have just turned around and distanced themselves from the Jackdaw, but quickly emerged from the smoke.

If it was in peacetime, Zhang Heng was not worried about the pursuers behind him, with the performance and firepower of the Jackdaw, even if he was one against two, he would not have no chance of winning, not to mention that even if he was poor, he could easily evacuate with excellent speed.

But now the Jackdaw's condition was terrible, the ship was understaffed, there were almost no gunners, at least three sails were broken, the hull was leaking badly, and the water level had risen at least three feet compared to before, and it had reached the warning line.

In this case, not to mention resisting the pursuers behind him, it is not even possible to sail to Nassau.

That's why Di Freina was so desperate before, even if the Jackdaw could break through the Navy's blockade, it wouldn't be able to run far at all in its current state.

He couldn't see where that little life was.

But since Zhang Heng wanted to gamble on this, of course, it was impossible not to have any preparation, he temporarily handed over the rudder to Anne's hand, borrowed the latter's dagger, and then came to the mainmast, when he was on the Sea Lion, he studied under Roscoe, worked in the hands of the old man for quite a while, and was no stranger to things like climbing masts.

Although he had hardly done any more work since he became captain, he was not completely rusty, he gritted the dagger with his teeth, climbed to the top of the mainmast as fast as he could, and saw the scratched spot on it, where an Old Celtic name was inscribed.

Zhang Heng took the dagger from his mouth, the name had been crossed out by him before, but now it was re-engraved by him.

In the original plan, Zhang Heng planned to communicate with the so-called Celtic ancient god after getting the wooden box of the tule tree, which was also the safest way, but now he had no other choice.

Zhang Heng had a lot of game props on him, but the only thing that could really help him in this situation was the unidentified shell.

However, when he finished carving the last stroke, nothing special happened, and by this time the distance between the two armed ships and the Jackdaw had been greatly reduced, and the gunners on board were on standby.

There was not much time left for Zhang Heng, he didn't think that the Celtic ancient god named Betty happened to leave him at this time, in fact, Zhang Heng had always suspected that the target of the other party on the previous ghost ship was not Seth, but him as the captain.

It was only later interrupted by Annie's sudden appearance, and the Celtic ancient god named Betty had to give up on him and choose Seth who was alone on the other side, but her goal never changed, she instructed Seth to steal the three notes, in fact, the motive was not pure, but deliberately exposed Seth in front of Zhang Heng, wanting to attract his attention.

But what Zhang Heng didn't understand was why, after he got the shell, the Celtic ancient god named Betty never came to him again.

Zhang Heng quickly reviewed the conversation with Seth before, he remembered the abrupt storm he had encountered when he returned to Nassau before, and remembered the anger that Seth said about the need to control the storm.

Zhang Heng frowned, maybe because his parents have not been around, he belongs to the group of people who are relatively precocious, and his emotions are relatively stable compared to his peers from childhood to adulthood.

Naturally, there are times when he is angry, but when he realizes that anger does not solve the problem, he rarely feels angry about something anymore.

When Wei Jiangyang was cheated of money for the first time as a part-time tutor, everyone accompanied him to drink to relieve his boredom, and he later drank too much and said to Zhang Heng, "Zhang Heng, I think the most awesome thing about you is that you always seem to be able to see this cruel world clearly, but you will not be disappointed by it, how did you do it?" It's like a bystander...... You're a good person, but sometimes you're too calm, and it's a little boring. ”

Zhang Heng also knew that his SAN value sometimes dropped slowly, but he never thought that this matter would one day become his trouble.

He looked back on his life and found that there didn't seem to be anything particularly bitter and vengeful that made him angry.

It's a bit embarrassing now.

Because according to his reasoning, not only does it take anger to summon the storm, but only sustained anger can sustain the storm, like Seth's anger before came and went quickly, so the storm was short-lived.

And if he wants to get rid of the entanglement of the two armed ships behind him, he needs at least a storm that can last for half an hour.

Zhang Heng could only find another way, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Half a minute later, the bows of the two armed ships were approaching the stern of the Jackdaw, when a thick bolt of lightning pierced the night sky.

The lightning bolt landed right on the mast of one of the armed ships, and although there was no one near the mast, the crew members were still frightened into a cold sweat by the scene.

However, this was only the beginning, and then there was a rolling thunder in the sky, and at the same time the lightning became more and more dense, like a purple power grid, and the originally calm sea suddenly became fiercely windy, and one of the armed ships was obviously approaching the Jackdaw, and the captain gave the order to prepare to open fire, but a huge wave hit the side of the ship, and the gunners on it were knocked to the ground.
