Chapter 35: Escape

The rising flames began to attach to the pirates' shoes and pants, burning their legs, and even the slippery pirates were all stained with fish oil and ignited all over their bodies.

The pirates, who had no pain, began to feel the heat, the pain, the flames scorching their muscles, even if they turned into bones in the moonlight, they would burn in the flames, and they could not get rid of it at all.

The moonlight restored them, and the flames burned their bodies, and the growing flames began to plunge these pirates into a sea of fire, enjoying the great experience that only hell can receive, being burned over and over again.

Eventually, the curse lost its power, and the pirate, who was left with only bones, became charred and completely lost the message of his life.

The sea of fire swept through the docks, and of course blocked the path of pursuit, except for a few pirates who were still in the water who escaped with their lives, and almost all others died in the fire.

Barbossa looked at the fire on the harbor and began to feel a little chilled, that assassin really had the means to kill them, this person would definitely not be able to stay, but not now, he no longer had the strength to storm the port, his men had died nearly fifty people, this is simply unimaginable, you must know that he has not lost a single person in ten years of raiding, but he has lost more than half of it here.

Barbossa looked at the distant harbor and had already thought of retreating, but he was still waiting for the surviving pirates to return, and he couldn't afford to lose any more men.

"Keep firing!"

Barbossa ordered, then walked to the side of the ship and looked at the harbor, he recaptured the ship, the assassin would definitely show up, that was definitely a variable, he didn't want to be beheaded by a sneak attack again, it would really be doomed.

But at this time, Gordon didn't care about the Black Pearl at all, the Black Pearl would not be as meaningful to him as Jack, representing free will, in his eyes, since the Black Pearl could not be used for himself, it would destroy him.

Mission 1: The sinking of the Black Pearl.

The total amount of silver he got was only 1,000 silver coins, and if he failed, 3,000 silver coins would be a huge loss.

Mission 2: Kill Barbossa

Difficulty: 3 stars

Reward: Assassin Bloodline (Intermediate) to unlock the ship Jackdaw.

"Hiss......"

This task made Gordon a little unbearable, the mission reward is very rich, a ship, and intermediate assassin blood, but the punishment for failure is also heavier, but I don't know if the assassin blood is deprived, and it can be obtained through the mission.

Anyway, no matter what the task is, the most important thing now is to sink the Black Pearl, leave Barbossa, and everything is easy to say.

Gordon watched the cannon of the harbor fortress keep hitting the water, while the Black Pearl was unscathed, and almost wanted to call the soldiers stupid pigs.

And the shells of the Black Pearl kept falling on the fortress, which made it even more chaotic.

"Sure enough, I can only rely on myself at this time!"

Gordon had already ascended to the fort in the confusion, and then touched Burton's side, startling him.

"Captain Gordon, what are you doing here?"

Gordon pointed to the nearby fortress cannon.

"I think I can try, but you didn't actually hit any of them. ”

Hearing Gordon say this, Burton was also a little ashamed, in the dark night and fog, his artillery completely lost its due effect, and the enemy's fire target was too small to aim at all, so that one was passively beaten and could not hit the enemy.

"You two, cooperate with Captain Gordon!"

Amid the fire, Gore called out to the two gunners who had opened fire.

The two soldiers nodded in obedience.

Fortress guns have longer barrels, higher accuracy, and larger calibers.

Gordon watched in the fog at the light of the fire, constantly correcting the muzzle, aiming at the middle point, and according to the gravitational acceleration, the muzzle might have to be a little higher.

Gordon finally found his position: "Fire!"

The gunner lit the fuse, a deafening sound rang in his ears, and the cannon was discharged.

boom!

This time the sound of the hit was completely different, not falling into the water, but causing a violent explosion.

The fortress cannon just detonated the powder keg on the deck of the Black Pearl, igniting a flame that directly burned the sails.

Flames began to rise, directing the fortress's artillery to their targets.

boom!

The second and third guns hit the target in turn, and the power from top to bottom directly penetrated the deck of the Pearl, and the fire destroyed the means of the fog, and the Black Pearl became a living target.

When the cannon hit the Black Pearl for the first time, Barbossa already felt that something was wrong, his cannon was not as good as the fortress cannon in the port, and the position of the fortress cannon was higher, and the lethality of the cannon was greater for them, and it was not a place to stay for long.

"Set sail, get out of here!!"

He couldn't care about the pirates who hadn't returned to the ship anymore, and when the Black Pearl was finished, he was finished.

The anchor of the Black Pearl was pulled up, and although the sails were burning, they could not stop the Black Pearl from sailing, sailing towards the sea outside.

Before the Pearl was completely out of range of the fortress guns, a total of seven shells were fired, leaving the ship with heavy casualties.

But Barbossa was not worried, the Black Pearl would be slowly repaired, and in a week's time, it would be restored again under the power of the moonlight.

In this battle, Gordon did not leave the Black Pearl, but the Black Pearl did not feel good, losing half of the pirates, and Captain Barbossa's position was no longer stable, and his strength was greatly weakened.

The planks laid in the harbor were also almost burned out in the fire, and after the Black Pearl left, all the guards were busy putting out the fire, and could only watch the Black Pearl leave, unable to pursue.

Throughout the second half of the night, Puerto La Guaira was busy dealing with internal matters,

The Black Pearl caused great damage to the port, destroying many buildings and killing many people in the cannon bombardment, being directly hit by shells, or smashed by collapsed buildings.

Gordon was the only one who looked at the direction the Black Pearl left and sighed, worthy of a ship endowed with magic by David Jones, not so easy to sink.
