The repair of the Jackdaw continued, and seven of the eight gun emplacements on the right side of the ship's deck were destroyed, greatly reducing firepower, and there were many large holes in the deck made by shells, and the hull was tilted a little due to imbalance.

By adjusting the ballast, the normal navigation of the ship can be barely guaranteed.

The Jackdaw rested here for nearly two hours before recovering its four gun emplacements, but the wounds on the right side of the ship were still extremely large and looked very scary, and these wounds were no longer repaired by planks and needed to be repaired in a special shipyard.

The sailors of the Spanish cruiser were kept in the cabin of the battleship, a simple iron cage, which was constantly guarded by sailors to prevent them from escaping.

The battleship originally had a hundred soldiers, but now there were less than forty left, and the iron cage used to hold the prisoners became their own cage.

The cannon fire on the main battlefield had ended, and Gordon stood on the simple cleaning tower of the Jackdaw, and could see some of the burning Fortress dragging the Chaser with a broken mast in the direction of the Jackdaw.

"Pull anchor and set sail, we will meet in the past!"

A rope connected the captured Spanish battleship, and the two ships raised their sails and approached.

Burton bandaged his wounds on the ship's floor, and as for the captain's quarters, it had been destroyed half an hour earlier, but fortunately the fortress had two gun decks, and the mapping room on the lower level was still intact.

The whole ship was wounded, and the left side of the ship was almost broken, and the soldiers could be seen busy cleaning up, looking at the sails of the Jackdaw in the distance, and grinning as he pulled the tilted Spanish cruiser behind him.

"Haha...... Shh

But the smile directly ripped open the wound on his face, and he gasped again.

"Sir, you should take a break now. ”

Gore, who was covered in dust on the side, reminded him as he bandaged the wound on his head.

"Gore, at least we won this war. ”

Although the soldiers of the Fortress suffered heavy casualties, the Spanish battleships did not benefit at all, the pirate ships with green sails were slanted by the shells, and they broke away from the battle in smoke, and the second class battleship as the flagship and the third class battleship finally turned the rudder and fled under the fire of the Fortress, which was not much better than the Fortress.

Range and agility compensated for the number of shells, and the three-masted galleons clearly had the upper hand in battle.

"Look, didn't Captain Gordon capture a cruiser for us? ”

Burton was not as sentimental as Gordon and didn't care too much about the soldier's death.

You must know that in a naval battle at the real national level, the loss of manpower in a large-scale battle is in the thousands, and Burton has been at sea for many years, and the soldiers on the ship do not know how many have been changed, and the navy always has the best quality soldiers.

Adjutant Gore looked at the Jackdaw in the distance and nodded.

Gordon is indeed an excellent captain, even better if he is a man in the Navy.

"Commodore General, do you want to recruit him into the Royal Navy?"

"Of course, it's rare to see such a brave captain. ”

"But the Commodore is the captain of a privateer, and he may join the ranks of pirates at any time. ”

Privateers, for a long time were synonymous with piracy.

"yes, Gore, that's why I'm going to pull him into the Navy. ”

......

The two ships kept getting closer, then slowed down and dropped anchor in a sea of water.

The difference in deck height between the Jackdaw and the Fortress was fifteen meters and the difference in length was a hundred meters, and it could be said that the mooring together could be said to cover the sky, because it was already evening, and the direction of the sun was just blocked by the Fortress.

Burton descended from the fortress to the deck of the Jackdaw, and sighed as he watched the shattered Jackdaw.

"Thanks to Gordon, the Navy will reimburse the cost of repairing the Jackdaw. ”

The war had gone on to such an extent that it had not been so elaborate, and Gordon handed the rudder to Allen, and the two of them leaned against the guardrail that had not yet been broken.

The sailor beckoned Burton to bring him a cup of coffee, while Gordon himself took a bottle of rum and gulped it down.

"What to do with this Spanish warship?"

To be honest, there is really no need to salvage this ship, and the cost of repairs will reach almost 80% of the cost of building a new ship, because there is still a keel worth a little money.

"All the people pressed back, and the ship sank directly. ”

"Well, we don't have much time to recuperate, the enemy has already set off two days ahead of us, and we must hurry. ”

Speaking of this, Burton frowned a little, at this time their warships were in a very bad situation, since they had already fought with Spain, he was not sure if there would be warships from Spanish ports to come to support.

If he is attacked, there is no guarantee that he will be able to fight again.

"Gordon, I think we need to rest......"

"You forgot, the battleship that was supposed to arrive at Port Royal tomorrow. ”

"Haha, blame me, I almost forgot about it, so let's go straight to the shore, but now it's getting dark, and I don't think it's a good idea to explore the primeval jungle now. ”

"Then set up camp and rest for the night, let the sailors have a good rest, and continue to play tomorrow. ”

......

Until the sky was completely dark, and the moon had risen in the east, and by the starry sky, a number of dinghys came ashore, and here was still a considerable distance from the mouth of the Caroni River, and then gradually became angry on the shore.

The evening breeze was blowing on the shore, the tide was receding, and Gordon was lying alone on the haystack, feeling a little tired, and now life was getting harder and harder.

The sailors were busy carrying supplies from the ship, the seriously wounded sailors did not know how many would survive, and some were chopping down trees with axes to make an improvised camp in the jungle.

Serena lay down next to him, and Quirin jumped on Gordon's chest and lay down.

"Meow. ”

The black cat was captured by Gordon, and this period of neglect made Queline seem to be hungry and lose a lot of weight.

Put it back on his chest, then touched the supple hair, and looked at the Milky Way in the sky, a little distracted.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

Gordon opened his mouth and said, as if he had even neglected his favorite night sky during this time, and was busy calculating all day, so it was a little tiring to live like this.

"It's really beautiful, and in my hometown I spent three years observing them and then learning divination. ”

"Have you learned?"

"Probably. ”

"Did you see anything through this sky?" asked Gordon, turning over with some curiosity, looking at the sky at night is an incredible ability.

"Tomorrow is a good day, very sunny. ”

“...... You half-hung sorcer. ”
