Chapter Forty-Seven: Real Reinforcements
Nicole had been watching the people who had escaped from the Doge's Palace, but Margaret had not been seen among them, and Nicole's heart hung in the air as the sound of artillery fire came from the harbor.
She was struggling with whether to tell Baron Townsend or not.
If something happened to Margaret, he didn't tell Baron Townshend, just afraid that she would regret it for the rest of her life, but if Margaret just took advantage of the riot and ran away, and he told Baron Townsend, then I am afraid that when Margaret is caught, she will be locked in the castle for the rest of her life.
Nicole hurriedly circled in place, with a face full of nervousness, carrying the aristocratic dress that belonged to Margaret, walking back and forth, expecting to see Margaret's figure from some corner.
"Marge, look at your cowardice, don't worry, your fiancé is already gathering a navy, and will soon drive the pirates out of Buno Harbor. ”
Avril laughed at the side, Nicole stopped and quickly asked, "Miss Avril, did you see where my Nicole is?"
"Avril Lavigne...... Miss?" Avril looked at her old friend a little inexplicably, only because she was a maid who cared about her, so she didn't think about it, and shook her head, "Maybe it was scattered by the panicked crowd? ”
Avril also seemed a little lacking in confidence, the port of Buno on the other side of the square was almost blown up by artillery, I don't know how many people would be killed, and just now a group of elite navy heard the horn to go to support, it seems that all of them have been sacrificed, if that little maid runs over there......
Nicole looked at Avril's face, and her own face turned pale.
There was still the sound of artillery in the harbor, and Nicole gritted her teeth and ran in front of Baron Townsend.
Baron Townsend was standing beside the Governor and Norrington, and he had a large number of private guards in his manor, which was relatively powerful, and at this time there was a shortage of manpower, and Townsend had already asked people to move around the manor.
His estate was outside the town and was not implicated in artillery fire.
"Marge, what are you doing here?"
Baron Townsend saw Nicole running over in a hurry, his face was a little unpleasant, now in such a dangerous time, Margaret should be protected by the people of the Doge's Mansion together with Avril and those noble ladies.
Nicole hesitated for a moment, finally couldn't help it, sobbed, and told the story intermittently.
She didn't dare to bet that if something really happened to Margaret, Nicole would die irreparably.
"What are you talking about? you're Nicole!" Baron Townsend was shocked, he always felt that Margaret was much more well-behaved tonight, and thought that maybe it was the reason why he was shy in his engagement to Norrington, but he didn't expect that it would be like this.
Even the Governor and Norrington were quite surprised, and Norrington took a special look at Nicole, shook his head and smiled.
"So you don't know where Margaret ran to now?"
Seeing Nicole shaking his head, Baron Townsend held back his anger and commanded the people around him, and after a while, someone came with the news.
She was seen running out of the banquet hall by a boy dressed in sackcloth.
After all, there were still some people at the banquet at that time, and Margaret, dressed as Nicole, was taken away by Andy, and happened to be seen, and he also thought it was interesting, thinking that it was a maid who eloped with a poor boy, so he wrote it down.
The faces of several people who heard the news became solemn.
They knew that there would be no paupers at this banquet, and those dressed in sackcloth could not be nobles, only pirates.
"Damn! Marg couldn't have been kidnapped by those bastards!"
Margaret has just gotten engaged and is now the fiancée of the Commodore Admiral, and it is only natural that the pirates have attacked the port of Buno and kidnapped her in order to restrain the navy.
Norrington shook his head, "Miss Margaret was taken away when Nicole was looking, and the other party can't know that she is Margaret, there should be something else going on." ”
The corners of Baron Townsend's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought of a possibility, he knew very well what kind of character his daughter was.
Margaret did it on purpose and took advantage of this opportunity to escape.
"When it's over, I'll lock her up!
Baron Townsend roared in his heart, but he couldn't say it, and he also made a thoughtful look.
Norrington smiled, looked relaxed, turned to Nicole and said, "Don't worry, since she was taken away by the pirates, she shouldn't be hit by the artillery, and we will look for it after we repel the pirates." ”
"Repelling pirates?"
The governor and the people around him were stunned at the same time, the power in their hands now was only barely able to protect themselves, how could they repel the pirates?
Norrington looked at the appearance of everyone, smiled easily, and won the game.
"The horn just now is not just to seek support from the navy, real reinforcements, in the sea!"
A few people looked thoughtfully at the blazing harbor, Norrington didn't care about the destruction of the Dreadnought, and he still had a small conch-shaped horn hanging from his waist, if this was there, there would be countless Dreadnoughts!
Andy was hiding on a reef under a rock face, and Margaret was following him, and Andy didn't dare to make her sober until he was sure that her father and Nicole were okay.
The two pirates had stopped their artillery attacks, and the situation was a bit of a mystery at this point, and Andy could only hear the sound of waves crashing against the reef and cliffs.
Roger stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the dark and silent sea, and suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.
"What's the matter, looking at your worried look, hasn't the plan gone well so far?Captain Zack and they should have infiltrated the Governor's Palace, and then we will get the exact location of the Heart of the Sea, and when all the brothers outside have returned, we will leave here. ”
They are bombarding indiscriminately with artillery here, and the people in the Governor's Mansion must have run out, even if there are still a few, with the power of Zach and Pixar, they can easily solve it.
"I've always had a bad feeling that I just want Captain Zach to come back soon. ”
Roger looked at the sparkling sea by the moonlight and firelight, and his heart was even heavier.
"Wow~Wow~"
Ripples came from afar, intensifying.
Roger's face turned horrified, and he yelled, "Damn, transfer the cannon to this side for me, the musket is ready! Roger, you idiot!
Andler also thought of something, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly ran to the captain's room, and took out a musket with an exaggerated shape, similar to Starfall.
"Captain, the incident happened suddenly, borrow your treasure for use. ”
