Chapter 44: You're Still Humiliating Me!
After a rest, the fleet soon set sail again.
Although the people on the merchant ship did not participate in the naval battle with the Black Pearl, most of them watched from afar, and even some merchants with binoculars observed a lot of details.
As a result, the topic of curses continued to circulate in the fleet, and the version went in an increasingly outrageous direction.
Some people say that the crew of the Black Pearl were all possessed by demons from hell, and Mr. Tang, as a messenger of God, destroyed those demons and led the heroic soldiers to defeat the Black Pearl.
There are also people who say that they have seen Mr. Tang turn into a skeleton with their own eyes, and it is obvious that he and the Black Pearl are both from hell, which is a civil war between the devil and the devil.
Of course, the man who said this was soon called in by the soldiers to talk, and sent to the bottom of the cabin to mop the floor.
No one in this fleet can tolerate slanderous statements against Mr. Tang.
Those who have already won their fortune by participating in the game are Townsend's staunchest supporters, and those who have not participated in the game are like babies waiting to be fed, and they are more eager than anyone else to express their loyalty to Mr. Tang.
As a result, these rumors did not affect Townes' position in the fleet, but on the contrary, when one saw the Black Pearl roaming around the fleet, and the ornate gold decorations on the deck of the Dreadnought, one continued to respect Townsen.
Townsend stepped out of the screaming cabin and onto the deck of the Dreadnought, taking a deep breath.
Now that the events of the Black Pearl are over, and the crew members who have been reduced to prisoners have suffered the retribution they should have suffered a long time ago, it is no longer worth the extra effort of their own efforts, and it is time to prepare for the face of David Jones.
"Tom, how long does it take to sail to Tetuga?"
Warrant Officer Tom stood as straight as ever, and replied solemnly, "If the weather is good, it should take half a month, Mr. Tang." ”
"Half a month?" Tang Sen muttered, "It's almost enough." ”
"I have one thing I need you to do."
"Mr. Tang, please do not hesitate to command."
"Come with me."
Townsend crossed the deck with Tom, and the soldiers stopped what they were doing and saluted Townesend, who nodded naturally and gently.
At this moment, he noticed a dirty figure lying on his knees, rubbing the plank vigorously, and had no intention of turning back.
"It's kind of familiar." Tang Sen stopped and said, "Sir, please turn around." ”
The sailor's body trembled a little, and he did not turn back, but still brushed the ground in a dull manner.
"Mr. Tang told you to turn around, sailor!" One of the soldiers standing next to him kicked the sailor, causing the sailor to fall straight to the ground.
At this moment, Townsend finally saw his face clearly.
Although the dirt had obscured his originally handsome face, and the delicately groomed wig had become as disorganized as a mop, even intertwined with his black hair, and his gold-trimmed military uniform was tattered, Townsend still recognized that this was the original owner of the Dreadnought.
"Brigadier General Norrington." Tang Sen still greeted as he did at the beginning: "It seems that you have not had a good month. ”
Norrington struggled to get up from the ground, facing Townsen, still with his chin raised, trying to keep his posture.
"What do you want to do?"
"Watch your attitude! Mariner! The soldier next to him kicked over again and kicked him to the ground: "Standing in front of you is the honorable Mr. Tang, how dare you use such a tone?" ”
Norrington held his head, neither resisting nor struggling, bearing it silently.
"Stop, soldier." Tang Sen pressed his palm down and said, "Let me talk to the brigadier general." ”
“aye!” The soldier saluted, glared at Norrington fiercely, and walked away.
"Don't expect me to thank you, Oriental!" Norrington slowly scrambled to his feet, his voice low.
"Oh, familiar name." Tang Sen raised his eyebrows: "Brigadier General Norrington's character is very stubborn, isn't he?" ”
"Do you think that by sending someone to beat me and humiliate me, you will be able to make me bow down to you?" Norrington stared at Townsen, "You are wrong, Oriental, I am a commodore of the Royal Navy of England, and you will always be a criminal in my eyes." ”
"No, you're mistaken, Brigadier General Norrington." Tang Sen shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "If you don't give in, what's the point to me?" ”
"I've never liked to gain a sense of superiority by oppressing others and distorting their dignity, in fact, this month..."
"I just forgot about you."
Norrington's originally angry expression froze.
"Forgot?" He repeated it sluggishly, then pounced almost frantically: "You're still humiliating me!" ”
Tom stood directly in front of Townsend as soldiers rushed around him and grabbed Norrington.
Tang Sen waved his hand, motioned for everyone to let go of him, and said, "Brigadier General, you don't really think that I will have a lot of energy on you, do you?" Humiliating you, just wasting my own time. ”
"Go ahead with your work, our small talk is over."
"Nope! How dare you! Norrington roared, "One day, I'll hang you on the gallows." ”
Tang Sen's steps as he walked away paused slightly.
"Your lines sound like an avenger on the back burner, and in drama, people like you can always get their way in the end."
"So I'm surprised, how stupid is it for you to speak out about your attempt to get revenge on me in front of me?"
He said slowly, "I'm scared to death, Brigadier General Norrington. ”
"So, I changed my mind."
Townsend decisively ordered: "In order that I can sleep peacefully during the rest of the voyage, please let Mr. Commodore stay with the prisoners." ”
“aye!”
The soldiers, apparently not going to disobey Townsen's orders, immediately dragged Norrington towards the cabin.
"Nope! No! No! ”
His screams grew farther and farther until they mingled with the screams of the prisoners.
"A little unpleasant vignette." Tang Sen waved his hand and said helplessly, "Tom, let's continue the topic just now." ”
The two walked into the captain's room, and the soldiers guarding the stone box hurriedly saluted.
Townsend said hello, then pushed the lid of the stone box open.
He gently stroked the cursed gold Aztec coins and said, "These pretty little things shouldn't be sealed in the dust, Tom. ”
"Pick up an Aztec coin, Tom."
Tang Sen said slowly: "You will be the first officer of the Undead Legion, and your mission-"
"Test the winners and pick the most loyal fighters."
"Then, I will give them the ability to immortalize."
