Chapter 41: The Flames at the Top of the Harbor

"These, are they true?"

Clinton couldn't believe it, but writing a report was too detailed, documenting the entire battle and how to kill the pirates.

Burton didn't speak, just nodded quietly.

Clinton was somewhat silent, for in an era when theocracy was already in decline, especially in the Succession Act of 1701, which provided for the loss of inheritance rights for eligible heirs to the throne who were friendly with the Roman Church and Roman Catholicism or who married their members, the impact on the whole country was enormous.

But now there is an item with a curse, which is a great challenge to the imperial power, and this kind of thing will either never see the light of day or be in their own hands, and in any case, Barbossa's gang must die.

"Captain Gordon, didn't you say that someone knew the exact location of Death Island?

Gordon shook his head: "Although I found the person, I don't need it anymore." ”

Clinton frowned, didn't it mean dead or?

"Do you know where the Isle of the Dead is?"

"No, Barbossa's gang will automatically send it to the door, the last Aztec gold coin is in Port Royal, and it is also the most critical one for their salvation, with Barbossa's character as a gambler, he will definitely gamble, not tonight, at most tomorrow night, the Black Pearl will definitely come, all we need to do is close the door and fight the dogs." ”

Burton and Clinton both laughed at Gordon's novel statement, but Clinton thought of something else.

Barbossa is just a group of hooligans, how to find gold coins that can shake the imperial power.

"So ...... the gold coins"

"If we capture Barbossa and his men, will we not know the gold?"

Burton also began to have a mind to joke.

"Then I wish us success here. ”

Clinton summoned the butler, opened a bottle of precious red wine, and as the food continued to be served on the table, the dinner party for three people was enjoyed by the guests, but it did not last long, Clinton had to make an appointment with the governor, and arrange an ambush for the Dreadnought and the Interceptor, and Burton did the same.

A large number of soldiers canceled their leave, boarded two battleships and an interceptor, and began to empty the harbor of ships, requiring them to all be anchored in remote locations that were not easily affected by the battle.

Gordon was now on the deck of the Fortress, watching the distant sea gradually obscure the starlight, and the sea fog began to fill.

It was two o'clock in the morning, and everyone began to wait for the arrival of the Black Pearl, and the ship turned off its lights, pretending that there was no one at all.

Traditionally, Barbossa always attacks at this point in time, perhaps because it is the easiest or because the curse is the most powerful.

The fog began to obscure the soldiers' vision, and the moonlight also obscured it, but the lights of the harbor were still bright, illuminating the waters of the docks.

The tense atmosphere arose, and the soldiers hid behind the side of the ship and clenched their spears, after all, they were facing monsters that could not be killed, and there was still a lot of psychological shock.

Everyone waited quietly, but it was three o'clock in the morning, and the fog did not dissipate, but the Black Pearl did not appear, and strong winds began to appear on the sea, blowing the flags and hunting.

Gordon's heart was a little uneasy again, this situation was a little too abnormal, it was not at all like Barbossa's style, and the soldier was a little tired and yawned.

"Brigadier General, there's a fire on the shore!"

A soldier hiding from the lookout spotted something unusual in the harbor and shouted in that direction.

Clinton walked to the side of the ship, pulled out the somewhat ornate golden telescope, and looked over to the harbor.

On the best heights, the residence of Governor Swann was already on fire.

"Elizabeth ......"

Clinton realized what was going on, and the enemy bypassed the harbor, from the cliffs behind to the back, and went straight to their target.

"Everyone, stand up and sail towards the dock, and the soldiers pull up the anchor. ”

For Clinton, the life or death of a pirate was far less important than Elizabeth's safety.

And Governor Swann is now watching this crucial battle inside the fortress, in a safe position, and there is no need to worry.

In order to block the escape path of the Black Pearl, the two battleships stayed some distance from the dock, watching the slowly starting Dreadnought anxious.

"Faster, faster. ”

At this time, the port guards had also spotted the unusual fire in the rear, the alarm bell was sounded, and countless guards ran out of the fortress and headed towards the residential area behind, including the governor of Swan.

The dreadnought's sudden departure also caught the attention of Gordon and Burton aboard the Fortress, turning their attention to the firelight in the harbor.

"Damn, hurry back to the docks, what a tough bunch of pirates. ”

Burton also understood something, but instead of heading towards the harbor, he ordered: "All the soldiers have raised their rudders, lowered their sails, and are ready to sail, and the cannons have been pushed out for me, and the enemy's position is not far away." Stick out the oars! Full speed ahead!"

"Captain's order, set sail at once, full speed ahead!"

"Captain's Command......"

The Fortress was so large that two heralds were needed to get orders to every corner.

The whole ship awoke from its silence, and the renewed light of the fire illuminated all the lowered sails, and with the wind blowing, it quickly headed out of the harbor, aiming at the cliffs to the west, where the most likely pirates would stay.

The oars stretched out from the lowest cabin, and sixty oars in all, with the swing of a hundred and twenty strong men, finally increased the speed of the ship, but it was not enough.

"Signal the Interceptor and tell them to block it quickly and drag the Black Pearl at all costs. ”

Under the command of the Fortress, the Interceptor also began to set sail with full sails, and compared to the bulkiness of the former, the latter rushed out like a fast arrow off the string, bypassing the continent in front of it, and it was able to see the target.

The Interceptor's rush out gave Burton a lot of comfort, according to the results of the last battle, the piercing Black Pearl is definitely not the opponent of the Interceptor, as long as it is delayed, these ghosts can be completely buried.

Gordon stood on the deck silent, his appearance made a huge difference in the whole plot, Barbossa became cautious, this is not a game, let alone a movie, every continent can be climbed, there are endless possibilities.
