It's been nine days since the previous battle.

The navy's fleet suddenly appeared outside the harbor in the middle of the pirate carnival, and the pirates suffered a great loss, and the beach was in chaos, and at the call of the Black Prince Sam, Brooke and some others who were not too drunk and could move freely launched a heroic counterattack against the navy.

However, their actions were powerless to change the final outcome, and Brooke was the other group of people who operated separately from the Black Prince Sam, and they managed to board a pirate ship, and also used the ship's guns to attack the opposing naval fleet, but their attack only lasted two rounds, and the ship they were piloting was sunk.

While some of the ship's men were buried at the bottom of the sea, Brooke and others swam back to shore and retreated into the woods, where they soon met a second wave of retreaters, and at the same time they dragged the drunken people on the beach into the woods, but because of the urgency of time and the constant artillery fire, they eventually brought back less than a fifth of them.

Coupled with the people who died in the battle, Brooke now looked around him, and there were less than a hundred people left in the six pirate ships that went to sea together.

And after nine days of suffering from lack of food and clothing, these 100 people have become extremely weak.

Because the retreat was too hasty, they retreated into the forest with almost nothing, most of the food and fresh water were on the boat, as the battle sank to the bottom of the sea, of course Brooke knew what the navy was fighting about, maybe it would not be long before the enemy would begin to land and force them to have a final decisive battle, but now that they had lost their ships and were trapped on the island, they were helpless about it.

Although the area of Parrot Island is not small, there is no fresh water on the island, and these days they can only lick the dew on the rock wall like those goats to quench their thirst, or suck the moist dirt, making their mouths smell dirty, and Brooke's lips have dried and cracked.

Fortunately, they succeeded in catching a goat last night, and not only did they get a piece of mutton each, but they also drank goat blood, which relieved some of the hunger and thirst, but a goat was only a drop in the bucket for a team of nearly a hundred people.

The number of goats on Parrot Island is also limited, they have hunted a considerable number of them for the party, and now it is becoming more and more difficult to catch, and this sheep is the only one they have caught in the last two days.

In addition to the scarcity of food and water, medicines, ammunition and weapons are also a headache.

Now there are only 20 long muskets and 8 short muskets in the hands of nearly 100 people, and even daggers, scimitars and other melee weapons cannot be used up to one person, and the only remaining bullets are still consumed a lot during hunting, and there is no medicine at all, and the wounded can only fend for themselves after a simple bandage, so it can be said that they have now reached the point of exhaustion.

Of course, the most serious thing is the morale blow, at this point everyone can not see where the future way out is, when sleeping at night listening to the moans of the wounded around them, many people have been tense nerves completely collapsed, and some people can't stand this desperate atmosphere and jump directly into the sea, almost every day there are suicides.

Brooke rose from the ground and handed the last remaining piece of lamb to Eric, the black helmsman of the Vidah, who had barely eaten for eight days, and sat alone under a tree, his eyes as empty as a stone.

When Sam, the Black Prince, fell into his arms, the pirate leader who terrified the entire Caribbean Sea, cried like a child, forgetting that he was still in a battle, and held the corpse until the Warrior sank and he fell into the water, refusing to let go.

Fortunately, the crew of the Vida dragged him ashore when he was about to drown, and the first thing Eric did when he woke up was to look for the body of the Black Prince Sam, who was now the one he was after learning that the body had been washed away by the sea.

Even when Brooke brought the food to his lips, he didn't react.

Brooke said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't want to live, you'll never want to avenge him." ”

When the black helmsman heard this, his gray-white face finally had a hint of expression, and he opened his mouth and said in a weak, barely audible voice, "Revenge...... Do we, how? ”

"I don't know, but if you give up at this point, it's really over."

"Looks like you don't have much comforting experience, do you?"

"I've done my best, and I don't have a problem if you still insist on dying, after all, in the current situation, eating with one less mouth is not entirely a bad thing." Brooke shrugged.

"Or is there only one ship out there?" Eric ate two bites of lamb and regained a little strength, finally turning his attention back to the situation at hand.

"yes, it seems that the Jackdaw managed to escape that night, which is why the Navy sent all the other ships out in pursuit."

"It's unbelievable that they were able to break through the blockade under such circumstances."

"This should be a rare piece of good news these days, but unfortunately it still doesn't work for us." Brooke smiled wryly, "If only there was a ship, whatever the ship, we wouldn't have no hope at all." ”

While the two were talking, the pirate who was in charge of monitoring the movements of ships outside the island suddenly shouted, "Ships found in the distance!" ”

Brooke and Eric looked at each other, and they both knew that when all the ships that had gone out to chase the Jackdaw returned, it would be time for the Navy to land and launch a general attack.

This also meant that there was not much time left for them, but there was not much fear on the faces of the pirates, and the days on the island were getting harder and harder, and they would rather die in battle than starve and wait desperately here.

However, just as Brooke and Eric were about to call for a final battle, the pirate in charge of the sentry shouted with a look of disbelief on his face.

"It's the Jackdaw, the Jackdaw, the Jackdaw is back!!"

"Was it captured?" Brooke found it hard to believe that the Jackdaw was going and returning, taking the binoculars, and it was already incredible that he could escape from Zhang Heng's position, and he asked himself that he would never return to Parrot Island, not to mention that the Jackdaw did not know the current situation on Parrot Island, and it was impossible to come back at the risk of being besieged.

However, as if answering his question, the next moment the black flag was raised on the Jackdaw without hesitation.
