Chapter 189: August

The slaves found solid iron cones to smash at the links of those shackles, and the whole pit was filled with the crisp sound of metal clashing, and they shivered with cold, but none of them stopped their busyness, this was freedom.

"Whew! it hurts. ”

The bullet was unloaded from Gordon's back, bleeding profusely, and Mickey had to tear the rag from his trouser leg and wrap it tightly.

The countless stains on it, stained with dirty water on the ground, made Gordon a little frightened, for fear that he would not die at the muzzle of the enemy's gun, but die in this fatal bandage.

"Captain, you're lucky enough, if it were someone else, your shoulder would have been shattered, and you were only stuck in your muscles. ”

Mickey continued to wrap the rag around twice, and pressed the wound to make sure it was tightly wrapped.

"It's time to go. ”

Gordon looked at the slaves who had been completely unshackled, and they walked around and watched, all to make it clear that they were ready.

His gaze swept over the crowd, and he saw someone he had ignored for a long time: Auguste Barre Bonnet.

That is, the intermediary who introduced them at the beginning, a Frenchman who cleaned up and decent.

But now I can't see the original elegance, and I crouch in the backlit corner and shiver.

When Hasson was stabbed through by Gordon, Bonnet instantly noticed that something was wrong, and the ensuing smoke mixed with the sound of gunfire simply frightened him.

He was not a sailor, but had come with his father to run a plantation in the port.

The Bonnet family was also a well-known family in Paris, but Auguste's father did not pay attention to it, and spent thirty years in peace, taking care of some property, the farm, and like everyone else, marrying a similar farm girl.

At last, on his thirty-first birthday, his father had the bold idea that he was going to sea, and the idea was unstoppable.

His father tried to be a sailor, but gave up because he couldn't stand the harsh conditions and the meager income.

He also joined the Doren Chamber of Commerce, borrowed a lot of money from friends and family, bought a small boat, and became a coveted captain.

Of course, he is not clever or good at management, and he has been eaten to the bone in a sea full of treacherous intrigues.

On a cold morning, a man was left on the docks in Boulogne, in rags and dirty.

"Auguste, the Bonnet family doesn't keep waste. ”

When Bonnet and his father came to this port, this was the most important thing they heard, although the ruling class of this port was French, but Bonnet did not have an easy time, and at a very early age began to be busy with all kinds of people and things in the port.

He could know what was most profitable in this port, what kind of people dressed might have needs, and what people were not easy to provoke.

Today, when he saw Gordon and the others, his first impression was that he was a wealthy customer.

But the development of things is nothing short of a nightmare, he has never seen a person who can trample on the rules so brazenly, he does not negotiate to gain benefits, nor to make profits through transactions, but to kill nakedly.

This man was only for fifteen crew members, and even sent the rest of the slaves to Nassau, a place full of pirates.

He didn't know what his fate would be, he just tried to huddle in a corner, he didn't dare to approach the slaves, they were covered in blood, and the flesh on the ground was disgusting.

He didn't dare to look at the young man in fancy clothes who had thought he was kind, hiding in the dirty water with his head down, praying for these people to leave quickly, but unfortunately, a pair of boots stepped on the puddle in front of him.

"Mr. Bonnette, we need to talk about your fate. ”

Gordon had already walked in front of him, and then crouched down, his expression twisted even more by pulling the wound.

"I don't know anything, sir, and let me go, it's Hazen, who killed the overseer of the mine and took the slaves. ”

Bonnet's tears were about to flow, and he could see the blade of Gordon's hidden sleeve, the flickering cold light, which could end his life in an instant.

Gordon brushed his hair and tried to make a kind appearance, and of course he was not willing to kill more people who earned money with his own hands.

Of course, the words spoken are not so kind.

"You know who I am, and you know what I've done, so you have two options so you don't get into more trouble. One, I will kill you to prevent future troubles. Two, I think you can go to sea with me until this thing is over......"

No more people than Bonnet knew him and his ship, and the matter could eventually be defined as a vendetta, or piracy, which would disappear in a month, or even less.

"I'll pick the second one, Mr. Gordon!"

Bonnet replied before Gordon could finish speaking, for fear that he would be chopped up if he hesitated, no one wanted to die like this, his life had just begun.

"Good!"

Gordon smiled with satisfaction, and the people who knew the current affairs were not so tired, and he patted the latter on the shoulder and stood up again.

"Welcome to the Jackdaw, Mr. Bonnet. ”

"Captain...... When are we leaving?"

Mickey asked out loud, and everyone was waiting for him.

"Now!"

The slaves took simple weapons, iron rods, scimitars, or a few muskets.

Led by Gordon, head south of the harbor.

Bonnet, on the other hand, was guarded by another sailor, with the scimitar swinging right behind his back, and any attempt to escape would be stabbed.

Gordon always remembers the rules of survival of privateers, and must not let other countries know your true identity, especially when doing illegal things, so after the last robbery, he prepared the same green sails as the pirate kingdom.

The Jackdaw wasn't famous, and he had only been on the seas for a few months, and he was more than happy to clear his name by putting the on the head of the pirate kingdom.

At this time, in the main city of the royal fortress, the escaped mine supervisor jumped off his horse in a drenched body, and in a panic, rushed directly to a beautiful red mansion, where he was stopped by two guards.

"The mine has been attacked, I want to see Mr. Bliss right away, get out of here!"

The familiar voice finally made the guard recognize the person in front of him and give way to the place for people to pass.

The director rushed in in a hurry, leaving the two guards who had not said a word to look at each other, the mine was attacked, and someone really broke ground on Tai Sui's head.

"Someone wants to try the fortress's artillery?"

"Probably ......"
