Chapter 129: Queen Anne's Revenge
Zhang Heng was surrounded by a group of pirates and rushed to the officer's dining room on the ship, in the previous battle, his miraculous marksmanship left a deep impression on everyone, especially the last shot, which almost single-handedly turned the tide of the battle, and also won the praise and support of the pirates, so as soon as the battle ended, many pirates pulled him to drink.
Even the farmer's son was dragged over, and everyone was interested in how he cut the throats of British soldiers with his teeth, Malvin had not been very popular on the ship, but after this incident, the pirates' opinion of him also changed, and he was flattered by two pirates who hooked up with him.
As a result, this group of people met Orff who was coming towards them halfway, and they couldn't help but look at each other, although the battle was over, there were still a lot of follow-up things, and almost all of them had a lot of tasks on their bodies, and it was not a wise choice to run to drink at this time, no matter how you look at it.
However, Orff didn't criticize anyone for the first time this time, but nodded at Zhang Heng, "Good job!" ”
The pirates were stunned when they heard this, and then they burst into cheers, puffed their chests, and sang songs to continue looking for wine.
Orff's last sentence, but don't delay the work, few people heard it at all, and the few who heard it also tried to pretend that they didn't know anything.
Orff shook his head and knocked on the door to the captain's quarters.
A deep voice came from inside, "Come in." ”
"The captives are being transferred in small boats to the Sea Lion in batches, and Owen is recruiting men over there, mainly gunners, after all, we now have 90 guns." Orff paused, "Also, that guy is locked up in the carpenter's room now, and to be honest I thought you were going to kill him then." ”
"In your eyes, am I such a person who doesn't care about the whole situation?" The man with the black beard was still wearing the bloodstained coat from the previous battle, and the bleeding wound on his arm was not bandaged by the ship's doctor, but he didn't care, took out two glasses from the drawer, and poured red wine, "The culprit of that incident back then is still there, compared to him, Elmer is just a small character, we can't plant here, but as one of the accomplices, Elmer will pay the price, I can assure you." ”
Orff took the glass and let out a sigh, "It's been fourteen years in the blink of an eye, and we've finally come to this point, to be honest, I thought there was no hope for many years in between, and now the only person on that list is Belo Monte is left, and our mission is finally about to be completed, I'm not young, and I'm going to retire when this matter is over, find a place where no one is around, fish, raise flowers, and live a peaceful life, what about you, what are your plans, is Miss Agnes still writing to you?" ”
The man with the black beard on the other side was silent for a moment.
"You and I both know this very well in our hearts, and once we set foot on this path, there is no turning back, don't we do Orff?" The man said lightly, "If civilization can't bring me justice, then I will destroy it with barbarism." ”
"Oh, this really looks like you would say it, so let me accompany you through the last stretch of the road." Orff raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, after drinking he stood up, "The morale on the ship is not bad at the moment, but with what I know about Frazier, he won't give up so easily, that old thing is like a poisonous snake, but he doesn't know where it lurks, waiting for us to show his flaws, he will definitely give us a fatal blow." ”
"You're the helmsman of this ship, you're going to solve this hidden danger for us, right?"
"I'll do my best, we're still the same as before, you're in charge of fighting, I'm in charge of taking care of those guys on the ship, I can't imagine what will happen to you after you leave me." Orff shrugged his shoulders and walked to the door, pulling up the doorknob and about to leave, but seemed to remember something.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot the most important thing, this ship is ours now, let's give her a new name."
"Name?" Something burned in his eyes behind the wooden table, but his tone was calmer than the windless sea, "Then call her Queen Anne's Revenge." ”
Orff raised an eyebrow, "Well, that sounds pretty good, I like the name, enjoy this win that belongs to you, Teach, I'll take care of the rest." ”
With that, he walked out of the captain's cabin and closed the wooden door behind him.
…………
Zhang Heng didn't know how many glasses he had been poured into, but fortunately, the alcohol content was not high at this time, and all the pirates were celebrating this miraculous victory.
With a surprise attack of more than 170 people, this huge ship carrying 700 navy men was captured, and more than 400 people were taken prisoner.
That's enough for any pirate to blow in the tavern for a lifetime, and everyone can only listen obediently below.
With this ship, they can completely walk sideways in this sea area in the future, and they can rob whoever they want, and there are no more natural enemies.
The pirates were people who could not sit still, and after a drink in the officers' quarters, they began to look at the freshly baked trophy with great interest, and after a vote, it was unanimously decided to keep the little band that belonged to Elmer.
Now the poor musicians were playing triumphant songs behind the pirates, who had previously been popular with high society for Elmera, but this kind of elegant gadget was clearly not popular among pirates.
On more than one occasion, they have been unreasonably asked to play something that makes everyone happy.
This feeling of seeing a work of art tarnished is unbearable for every aspiring musician, but when they see the bright knives in the hands of the pirates, the musicians finally decide to put down their dignity and choose to enjoy with the people.
"I can't imagine we actually did it!" A gunner stroked a 24-pounder gun on the second deck and excitedly said, "With this thing, I can blast everything that stands in our way to pieces." ”
"Beware, Bill, only a real man can handle this kind of big dick." Another veteran gunner spoke, causing the pirates to laugh again.
"I can't wait to have a blast with her! Imagine the look in the eyes of those merchant ships when they saw us, and I felt a little pity for them. "There are pirates gloating.
After he said this, the music suddenly stopped, which made him a little dissatisfied, "Why don't you continue to pull, did I let you stop?" ”
"I told them to stop." A voice rang out from behind him.
Orff slowly walked out of the crowd.
