Chapter 194: Return to the Royal Fortress
Gordon's apparent laughter and laughter could not hide his deep worries, and his seemingly crazy choice was simply because he had no choice.
He couldn't leave the Jackdaw alone, it was all he had, and he didn't have the ability to clash with the enemy head-on, the only thing he could use was his assassination ability to capture Briss.
"Mickey, you take the people and continue to walk towards the seaside, be smart, and if everything is as expected, then take the people directly on the boat, leave me alone, we will meet in Nassau. ”
As he spoke, he lifted Bonnet from the ground.
"Captain ......"
Mickey looked at him, once again feeling his own powerlessness, and he couldn't help in the face of some difficulties.
He knew that the captain's choice was to leave them a safe path and put himself in danger, but he could not say anything to dissuade them, because they had no choice.
"Don't worry, my boatswain, if the Jackdaw doesn't arrive, I'll find a ship to pick you up, trust me. ”
Gordon patted Mickey on the shoulder, smiling confidently, until the latter nodded in his order before carrying Bonnet away.
Looking at Gordon's back as he gradually walked away, Mickey could only grit his teeth and shout: "Everyone speed up!"
......
Bonnet's body was already relatively thin, and after a lot of cold rain, beatings, and dirty water choked in at that time, he barely walked much, and barely got better with Gordon's one hand.
His eyes flickered to the musket on the latter's chest, but the pincer-like arms made him finally realize the reality, and he wasn't sure if his next resistance would completely anger the brutal captain and give him a bullet.
"Phew~ Give up, Captain Gordon, it will take us at least an hour to get from here to the port, and everything is too late. ”
Bonnet could only use his lip service, he didn't want to follow this reckless man to his death, whether he volunteered or not, Briss would think that he had brought the assassin.
The ensuing retribution made him dare not even think that even his father's estate would be annexed under this pretext, and they would be completely reduced to the lowest class.
Do you really pray for the success of the assassination of the person in front of you?
The thought flashed through his mind and was quickly thrown out, it was definitely a joke.
Maybe you should give full play to your sacrificial spirit and take a gamble, even if you fail, it won't hurt your father?
......
Bonnet's thoughts did not interfere with any of Captain Gordon's movements, and he still walked on the rugged mountain road with this burden, and the eagle eye lit up the world.
About a kilometre ahead sits a farm, and in a wooden house at the very edge, a peasant woman braves the rain to enter the sheep shed to add hay, with the emphasis on a flat-bed carriage tethered to the eaves, of course.
"Mr. Bonnet, will you drive the carriage?"
This sudden question made the frail Frenchman look up in surprise, and saw the farm in the distance, he did not remember whose it was, but it was clear that there must be horses inside.
"Damn it...... But it's okay not to let me freeze to death in the wilderness......"
"I think you'd better answer my question first. ”
"No, sir, but I studied equestrianism at the Royal Academy for three years, and I don't think it will be difficult to ......."
"That's the best......"
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, the two of them jumped over the shoddy low fence, and then whipped the colt fiercely, slammed open the gate and drove away, and it was only then that the responsible guard came out of the house, snorting with wine, as if he had not yet realized what had happened.
Until he saw a farmer running out in great terror, and shouted at him, "Sir, someone has stolen the carriage!"
This shout made him feel excited, and immediately sobered up a lot, and looked at the carriage that was constantly moving away, and there were two funny figures on it, and suddenly there was a bump, and the guy in red almost flew out, so angry that he threw his hat on the ground.
"Shit, this day stealing horses, are thieves so dedicated? Come on, someone stole the carriage!"
The guard hurriedly ran back into the house, and looked at the others who were still holding wine glasses, and couldn't help but knock on the table.
Bang bang!!
"Don't be stunned, hurry up, take action!"
Shortly after the flatbed cart ran out of the farm, two more men chased them out on horses.
The mountain road was not easy to walk, and the weakened Bonnet was thrown directly into the carriage by Gordon, and finally grabbed the reins in the midst of the bumps.
"Keep it, Bonnet, or I'll kick you off here. ”
"I'm trying, give me a little more time!"
It was not so pleasant for the flatbed carriage to run fast on the mountain road, and in order to allow the relatively small horse to break through the fence, he was given a whip, and of course the horse was now frightened.
Such a road was not at all suitable for horses to gallop, and this plank carriage for the transportation of goods barely had a single edge for fixation, and almost threw Captain Gordon out under a few bumps of stones.
The sky in the distance is getting darker and darker, and there is even thunder, and the cold rain in the sky shows no signs of stopping, but will turn into the rhythm of torrential rain.
Rumble!
A thunderclap exploded in the air, and the trajectory of the lightning in the air had not yet dispersed, and the distance of this thunder was very close, almost above their heads, which increased the fright of the colt, and the girl galloped.
At this time, in the port of the Royal Fortress, the black pressure of the insect swarm swept through the entire fortress, a mess, although the casualties of buildings and personnel were not large, but almost everyone was frightened, and no one wanted to climb the gun emplacement again.
No one has ever seen a worm that drains a human body, it's definitely something from hell.
The Governor and Briss, who were still drinking tea and chatting at the Governor's Palace, were informed of the docks, and they had no idea what was going on beforehand.
"Sir, I advise you to evacuate immediately, there is something out of your control in the harbor. ”
An adjutant whispered behind the Governor and whispered, of course he also looked at the Governor's beautiful daughter who was chatting with Briss very happily, they were chatting about the stories in the book, those interesting plots, Bris's smile was very gentle, and he remained humble at all times, it was a very good match.
The governor heard the adjutant's words, looked at the two people chatting, then nodded and walked out.
"Is something going on? I don't think anyone can threaten my security here, there are five hundred soldiers in this port. The Governor's expression was very bad, and he felt that his adjutant must have made a fuss, and unless a battleship attacked, it would be impossible to suppress the artillery fire of the fortress.
"You need to hear the news that the soldiers have brought back, sir......"
