Honig was an older man, and it was late for him to return to the fort after dealing with last night's affairs, but he didn't have long to lie down before he opened his eyes again.

Perhaps because they know that they don't have much time left, older people always cherish every day they have left.

Honeyg got dressed, put on his three-cornered hat, and ate the hot breakfast that his men had just brought back from town, and his mood gradually improved.

Especially when he climbed the city wall according to the usual practice, overlooking the city of Nassau at his feet, his heart was full of satisfaction.

Nassau was not recognized by England as a viceroy, and the closest thing on the island was Honig, who assumed some of the governorship's duties, who occupied the forts and batteries and controlled the island's coastal defenses.

Of course, what he said to the Black Prince Sam last night was just angry words, in fact, he was quite satisfied with the current situation, he had been planning his retirement life a long time ago, although he was still very famous at that time, and Frazier was called the two most powerful captains in Nassau, but his skills were not as good as before, and his years of pirate life brought him not only wealth, but also all kinds of hidden diseases, especially rheumatism, which tormented his knees for a long time.

So eight years ago, Honig decided to leave the sea, took it with someone, and lived a different life ever since.

He agreed with the council that he and his men would defend Nassau and maintain order in the area, and that the island's merchants would periodically pay him a fee for the maintenance of coastal defense.

It's not a lot of maintenance, it's negligible compared to the ongoing trade on the island, but it's a good amount of money because of the number of people who pay it, so it adds up to a lot of money.

Even if it is not as good as when he went to sea to be a pirate, the difference is not much, and the more important thing is that he does not need to take any risks, and he does not have to go to sea again, and he also avoids the worsening of rheumatism.

But Honig also had his troubles, he and his crew were away from the unpredictable sea, and lived a life where they could sit and earn money, but this life was also terrible for the consumption of will, because of the lack of fighting, staying in the fortress for a long time, their bodies began to rust, and more importantly, the lack of fresh blood.

When you are a pirate, although you will lose manpower after every battle, you will also be replenished by new people, which is actually a mechanism of survival of the fittest, and unqualified old people are replaced by better new people.

And now on land, Honig is followed by old faces from the previous ship, even if these people start to become lazy, it is impossible for Honig to fire them with their previous friendships, and use this money to hire newcomers with stronger combat effectiveness, and even if they hire newcomers, Honig can't trust them like old people.

Fortunately, with his previous prestige, the rest of the island has not yet noticed the degradation of their strength, but Honig knows very well in his heart that the combat strength of his group is not even half of what it was when he first came ashore.

If he was able to take the fortress from the hands of others, then others could also take the fortress from the weakened him.

The more times like this, the more he needs to show his tough side, so last night the Skull bombarded the beach in Nassau, Honig was the first to bring people there, but in the confrontation with that group, especially in the face of the young and strong Wilton, although he covered it well, he still felt a little difficult.

Fortunately, in the end, Wilton still chose to give in and promised not to cause trouble in Nassau again, and after Honig got the steps, he also took the opportunity to say that he would not pursue the former's previous bombardment of Nassau.

As for Karina's interests, it was not in Honeyg's consideration, everyone knew that the businesswoman's days on the island were coming to an end.

Honig originally thought that the matter would end happily here, but he didn't expect that after Zhang Heng came back, in order to give Karina a head, he would not hesitate to attack Wilton's ship anchored in the harbor, further intensifying the conflict.

At this point, the situation began to slide in the direction that Honeyg least wanted to see, especially when the black prince Sam was also involved, if a large-scale conflict broke out between the two sides later, and he was unable to control the situation, then someone with a heart would soon notice his weakness, so he would open his mouth to warn Zhang Heng.

Honeyig saw that Wilton's gang should just be passing by, and wouldn't be staying in Nassau for too long, and that the best outcome would be for everyone to spend this time together peacefully.

But things didn't go his way.

Honig was sitting in his chair, which he had moved from a governor's study during a coastal ransack, and had been one of his favorite things, and the mere act of sitting on it reminded him of his days when he had dominated the seven seas.

He was enjoying the rare peace and quiet at the head of the wall, only to find that a group of people had gathered on the beach last night, densely gathered there, and it seemed that there were even more people than last night.

Honeyg frowned, "What's going on again?" ”

Behind him shrugged a bald man with a shy belly, who had been the helmsman of his ship and one of the smartest people in the seas, but now he had become a drunkard, and not long after dawn he got drunk again, and burped, "Who knows, there may be a fishing boat selling seafood." ”

"I've seen fishing boats selling seafood, Domingo, I'm sure it's not a TMD fishing boat selling seafood, send someone to find out what's going on in that damn place, we're in a sensitive period right now, I don't want to see any more accidents happen."

"As you wish." Domingo staggered out, and Honig couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the latter's disfigured back.

Half an hour later, the person in charge of the reconnaissance came back in a panic, and before he could enter the gate, he shouted, "Wilton, Wilton!! ”

Honig now feels a headache when he hears the name, "Did that guy make a name for himself again?" ”

"No, Wilton is dead!" The news brought back by the people who went to the beach to scout left Honig in disbelief.

He couldn't imagine how Wilton, who had two pirate ships, more than 200 men, and was very strong in his own right, could suddenly die after only one night, but then Honig heard something even more unbelievable to him.

"Not only Wilton, but also his men were found dead on the ship this morning, and most of them had their throats slit, as for Wilton...... His body had been dumped in the sand, where he had executed the sailor of the Breeze, and his stomach had been dissected. ”
