Chapter 193: A Better Proposal

"Pull up all the people who have fallen into the water, let's get out of here, hurry!"

Alan roared loudly, his hair standing on end, staring in the direction of the black cloud, for fear that the damn thing would turn around and sweep the Jackdaw.

"God, we've always had such a horrible witch on our ship, and I joked that she had a leg with the captain!"

Alan touched the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and then looked at the place where the black clouds rolled over, three merchant ships were destroyed, and countless soldiers and sailors died, all of them without exception.

Aren couldn't think of a more precise description other than the word drain.

Countless beetles began to pound the fortress, and faint screams were heard, and the sound of cannons firing, and thick iron bullets flew towards the empty sea, which the soldiers had done in a panic.

As the Jackdaw faded away, only the gunpowder of the distant fortress exploded so violently that almost all the ships had left the harbor, the place was cursed with death, and the governor's orders could not stop the people from fleeing.

The bombardment from the fortress could be heard almost throughout the harbor, and the light of the fire, and Captain Gordon and his men walked on the grassy hills, and they couldn't help but stop at this moment.

He couldn't see the black clouds, but he didn't believe that the fortress would bombard or explode for no reason, the only thing he could think of was that the Jackdaw was fighting with it, and things were moving so fast that they were completely beyond his expectations.

There were less than forty people on board, how could they have beaten the fortress, and maybe even a warship.

"Captain...... What do we do now?"

Mickey looked at the slaves walking on the muddy road, some of them stopped to look in the direction of the fortress, silent, their eyes full of unease, probably understanding their fate, but not wanting to puncture it.

"There's a good chance that we won't be able to wait for the Jackdaw, even if we get to the agreed place. Even if the Jackdaw arrives, we won't be able to brave the fire to board the ship, that's looking for death!"

Mickey lowered his voice, a little anxious in his tone, he didn't want more people to hear, panic wouldn't do the desperate team any good.

"That's not right, the enemy shouldn't have reacted so quickly, mobilized men in such a short time, blocked the docks, and found the Jackdaw, Eren didn't have such a stupid ......"

Gordon frowned, muttering to himself, also faced with a dilemma at this time.

Take a gamble, live or die, in that part of the coast, there is no shelter, when their whereabouts are exposed, and they can't wait for the Jackdaw, and what they are waiting for is definitely enemy gunfire.

"Captain?"

Mitch saw that the crowd was already in a bit of a commotion, and another sailor rushed over with Mr. Bonnet, this Frenchman with fine skin and tender flesh did not have the good physique and will to survive like a slave, even if he was pointed at by a scimitar, it was very difficult to walk in muddy water.

"Who does the mine belong to?"

Gordon pulled Bonitra by the collar very abruptly, and if a confrontation was inevitable, he had to find out about the enemy first.

Bonnet's inexplicable expression was a thrill of revenge?

"Are you too stimulated and crazy?"

Gordon was very puzzled, so he directly slapped the latter twice to make him sober up!

But this originally cowardly fellow didn't say a word at this time, but smiled.

"The mine belongs to Mr. Bliss, and, I suppose, he is aware that the mine has been attacked, surrender gentlemen, you can't escape. ”

These words seemed to give him some confidence to regain the initiative and if Mr. Bliss's men were able to kill these guys, then everything would be back to the way it was.

He expected it, and believed it with great firmness.

The poor Captain Gordon in front of him, his ship had probably been sunk, and Anthony might be coming here with someone, so what if one person could fight again, three or five?

The ultimate fate can only be hung on the gallows, branded as pirates.

"Who's Bliss?"

Gordon put away his palm and looked at the person in front of him, probably too stimulated in a short period of time, and he was already a little broken and paranoid, so that he completely forgot that his life was still in the hands of others.

"The most powerful man in the Royal Fortress has more than a hundred good men under his command, and you can transfer some soldiers without even the presence of the Governor, you can't leave here. ”

Bonnet touched his somewhat red and swollen cheeks, and then rudely pushed the sailor away from the side: "Get out of here, stay away from me!" Captain Gordon, if you surrender to me now, with my father's affection, maybe you can talk to Mr. Bliss and give you a way to live. ”

His face was smug, and things went back to everything he knew, which was the rules, he may not have his own manpower, but he was able to use his interests and power to bring people to their knees.

He may have forgotten that Captain Gordon was the most unruly of all, though.

The sailor with his knife wanted to go up and cut down the arrogant fellow, the nominal crew member, the actual captive, and it was clear that Captain Gordon's kindness did not give the captive a hint of realization.

"Wait!"

Gordon waved his hand to stop the sailor's movements, and shook his head at the increasingly smug smile on the Frenchman's face.

"Bonnet, I actually have a better offer. ”

Captain Gordon smiled meaningfully, and the sailors laughed too, for every time the captain smiled, someone was going to be unlucky.

"What?"

Bonnet straightened his shirt to make himself look like a person of equal status negotiation, everyone trades, of course, they must know how to negotiate.

"But now you're making me have no desire to continue, and you've got to know some rules. Give him some color, but don't slap him in the face. ”

The latter sentence was naturally said to the sailors, and Mickey rubbed his fists, although he didn't quite understand why he didn't slap his face, but they carried out the captain's orders well.

Bang!

Mickey landed a hard hook to Bonnet's stomach, followed by a kick from another sailor.

"No! you'll pay the price......"

At first, the Frenchman would stare at Gordon and let out two cruel words, but then all that was left was a muffled grunt of pain and a scream that could not be stopped.

"Spare me, I was wrong......"

When Bonnet said this with blood in his mouth, Gordon finally stopped his men, and the beating even made Mitch feel a little hot, let out a long breath, and walked back to the captain's side.

Gordon pulled the latter's loose hair from the muddy water and smiled: "Mr. Bonnet, I think we can talk now, you take me to the so-called Earth Emperor, and I will let you live."
