Chapter 34: Barbossa's Counterattack

After a dinner at the Viscount's Palace, which was even more delicious than noon, Gordon and Kurich returned to the harbor in a carriage instead of the inn, and he wanted to make sure that the Black Pearl was in good condition and whether he would be able to leave tomorrow morning.

The broken foremast had been re-erected, with those specific anvils, which looked like patches, but were not too much of a problem, enough to sail to Port Royal.

They had sailed to Port Royal to deal with the rebel pirates, but the last surviving pirate had sunk into the sea with their severed heads.

This time they also went for Burton's letter, a congratulatory letter to Colonel Clinton, because Clinton was already preparing to be promoted to brigadier general, in charge of the harbor waters of the surrounding area.

And in addition to congratulations, we must also report on the situation of this incident, and hope that Port Royal will also strengthen its defenses, whether Clinton believes it or not, but the report is certain, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty.

The Black Pearl's mainmast had been replaced with black sails with tattered and painted skulls, which Alan had bought directly from other ships at a high price, but only canvas for the mainmast.

After Gordon returned, he settled the work in various places, and the whole Black Pearl finally looked good, although there were still holes in the hull of the cannon, but basic navigation was no longer a problem.

He nodded in satisfaction, and then took Alan and Mitch to the inn, ready to rest, and the entire port of La Guairah had begun to impose a curfew, no one was allowed to walk around at night, and a large group of soldiers had already begun to board the Black Pearl, ready to teach Barbossa's group a profound lesson.

It was a clear night, and the moonlight shone on the earth, penetrating into the sea, so bright that it also made the group of pirates of Barbossa who were advancing under the water appear skeletons.

They didn't feel tired, and under the curse, they sensed the position of the Black Pearl and kept advancing.

At Barbossa's urging, the pirates were left with only skeleton shelves in the moonlight, and the resistance of the sea was much less, which was where Gordon was wrong.

The pirates traveled twice as fast in the moonlight, reaching the port at two o'clock in the morning, launching a surprise attack at the time when the temperature was lowest and most drowsy.

At this time, Gordon tossed and turned in bed, and did not fall asleep for a long time, he always felt that he had neglected something, but he could not remember, in order to confirm the safety of the Black Pearl, he still got up from the bed and put on his assassin equipment, although he was already wanted in Cayenne Harbor, but the wanted notice did not spread so quickly.

The crew all slept, but Gordon knocked on Mickey's door, and he and Alan slept in the same room, not as luxuriously as Gordon and Kurich.

Bang Bang Bang!

Although Gordon had lightened his feet, the voice was still very abrupt in the silence of the night.

After a while, the door opened, and Gordon's face was visible through the lit kerosene lamp.

"Captain?"

It was Alan who opened the door, but Mickey woke up and saw Gordon knocking on the door late at night, knowing what might be happening.

"Allen, I have a bad premonition tonight, I have to go to the port to see, you can be clever for a while, if there is a battle to wake up the crew, try to stay away, they are still wounded, they can't fight. ”

Gordon turned around and walked away, heading towards the Black Pearl's location, leaving Alan and Mickey looking at each other.

"Alan, the task is up to you, I'll go over and take a look. ”

Alan could only nod in the end, watching as Mickey got dressed and walked towards the port.

The hotel was not far from the dock, but before Gordon could get there, the Black Pearl opened fire, and towards the fort above, the cannon exuded great power, and the one-meter-thick fort would be penetrated.

"Damn it!"

Gordon realized that Barbossa had finally made a comeback, and that the guards had taken it lightly and had no time to raise the alarm, so the pirates captured the Black Pearl and launched an attack directly on Laguaira.

"Hahaha, celebrate my return, unknown assassin boy, your time to die, catch those guys!"

The fog covered the port again, and although the fortress had guards on duty, the view was obscured in the fog, and the accuracy of the artillery was simply miserable.

"Aim for the location of the fire...... Firelight ......"

Gore shouted next to the artillery, but the sound was drowned out by the explosion of the artillery, and the scene was somewhat chaotic.

At this time, Burton also rushed to the fortress, and the fortress cannon erected on the fortress was even more violent than the cannon of the Black Pearl, with a caliber of 18 pounds, but at this time it kept hitting the water and could not hit the ship.

Countless pirates began to land in small boats, burning and plundering along the way, relying on their immortal bodies, but they were never afraid, let alone the small port of La Guairla.

About fifty sailors landed on the shore and, under the cover of artillery fire, drove straight into the sea brandishing scimitars.

But this time, the guards were not defenseless.

"Ready!"

The guards, standing in rows, began to reload their ammunition, and then began to raise their spears, not aiming at all and pointing directly at the front. The location of the pirates.

"Fire!"

Bang bang!!!

The muzzle of the gun sprayed flames, knocking out the projectile and knocking out a large number of pirates, but the pirates behind did not hesitate at all and continued to charge forward.

"Ready!"

The second platoon of musketeers, under the command of the officer, went to the front and raised their muskets, while the first platoon stood behind and began to reload.

"Fire!"

The dense projectiles continued to fly, but the enemy was not visible at all, and the fallen ones quickly stood up again, giving the musket team a lot of psychological pressure and panic, these are the enemy who cannot be killed.

Bang bang!

The pirates also fired, as they fired a little later because their short guns had a slightly longer range.

Dense bullets hit the bodies of the guards, and a large area fell, blood staining the stone pavement.

"Don't panic!

Originally, the commander of the musket team scoffed at the fact that the enemy that Gore had come to inform him might not be able to kill and that he needed to use fish oil, but now that the nightmarish scene appeared in the world, he felt the foresight of the commander, in fact, these pirates are not terrible, the unknown is the most terrifying.

After learning that the enemy could be killed, and that they had already prepared for it, the guards began to muster up the courage and rolled all the prepared fish oil barrels towards the enemy, and because it was a downhill slope, it was very smooth, and they reached the feet of the pirates, and the latter still did not understand what these barrels were for.

"Ready!"

The guards with spears relined themselves and raised their muskets.

"Aim for the barrel and fire!"

This time it didn't knock down a few enemies, but the broken fish oil barrels began to leak out of the oil, and the ground became slippery and began to burn.
