Chapter 58: Backup Plan
The battle ended quickly.
This is not surprising, the moment Blackbeard loses his greatest advantage and allows the Legion of the Undead to approach the Queen Anne's Revenge, the end is already sealed.
His sword, which could control a sailboat, was indeed invincible against ordinary people, but when it came to undead monsters, those cables were less intimidating, especially when the number of undead monsters reached a certain number.
As for his dark magic, it obviously didn't mean anything to the undead legion.
The only pity is that Blackbeard was not captured alive, and the pirate who roamed the world resisted stubbornly, and even planned to control the entire Queen Anne's Revenge to sink into the sea, and the soldiers had to end his life.
So when Townsend walked out of the captain's quarters with Jack Sparrow, all he saw was a mangled corpse.
Incidentally, Jack Sparrow emphasized that he had entered the captain's room not to be afraid of war, but to protect Townsen, and of course only he believed it.
"Mr. Tang, the enemy has been completely annihilated, and none of our side has died." Tom excitedly reported, "Except for a few unlucky ones who accidentally got their necks broken. β
"It's an accident if someone dies." Tang Sen glanced at the corpse on the ground: "I'm not interested in the corpse of a pirate, you don't need to move it over to show me and throw it into the sea to feed the fish." β
"Yes." Tom nodded a little stupidly, "I thought Mr. Tang would be interested in Blackbeard, after all, the other party is a famous pirate of the sea-"
"Why am I interested? Tom, it's just a dead man, I don't have a penchant for collecting dead people. Townsend said lightly:
"It doesn't matter who he is, it doesn't matter if he is famous or not, the only reason why he lost his life is only because he is greedy and arrogant in his way, all we need to do is to cross over and continue our voyage."
βayeοΌβ Tom looked down.
Mr. Tang's pattern is really not comparable to himself, and he still has a long way to go in imitating Mr. Tang.
"By the way, it's his sword."
Tom presented Blackbeard's saber with both hands.
Townsend looked at the sword and said it was a sword, but in fact it was more like a knife, straight on one side and curved on the other, the blade was much wider than the barbed sword popular in England, and the hilt had a semicircular gauntlet, but other than that, it was unremarkable.
"This sword is called Triton's Sword." Townsend whispered, gripping the hilt of his sword.
In an instant, he felt the Dreadnought beneath his feet, and all the ships around the Dreadnought, coming to his mind, and he realized that he seemed to be able to manipulate everything on board at will.
The cable above Townsend slowly drooped, swimming in the air like a snake's head, and then accelerated abruptly, binding Jack Sparrow as he was standing.
"Waitβ"
Before Sparrow could utter his words, he was already suspended in mid-air.
"That's how it feels." Townsend muttered.
It's no wonder that Blackbeard can cross the sea, and when he holds this sword, he feels like a god.
"Why are you trying to test me!" Sparrow swayed in mid-air, his voice coming and going.
"To be fair, Captain Sparrow." Townsen's mind moved, and Sparrow fell in front of him with a snap: "Everyone has experienced it, and I will never allow Captain Sparrow not to experience it." β
"Phew-Bah-" Sparrow said as he accidentally gnawed on the blood on the deck and got up from the ground, his features crumpled, "I hope I never have this experience again in my life." β
"That's up to you."
Townsend sheathed Triton's sword and hung it around his waist.
This is a good thing, even if it is an ordinary person, as long as he has it, it means that he has the capital that crosses the sea, but Townsend does not seem very happy.
In his plan, he had no intention of obtaining the sword from the beginning to the end, on the one hand, because he did not have enough time, and Townsend did not want to waste time looking for Blackbeard, and on the other hand, Townsend doubted that this sword could control the flying Dutchman.
After all, the ship was not a mortal creation, in a sense, it came from a god.
Much of the things on the Flying Dutchman have a consciousness of their own, even made up of the corroded bodies of the crew.
Therefore, this thing can only be regarded as the icing on the cake for Townsen's plan.
"Well, then, it's time to go see our loot."
"Blackbeard seems to have treasured a lot of good ships, and our fleet may be able to be renewed."
......
Blackbeard's attack was only a minor episode for the fleet, though it did add a bit of confidence to the Undead Legion.
Especially for the pirates from Tetuga, being able to defeat the most terrifying nightmare on the sea is enough for them to blow for a lifetime.
The resentment of the curse in his body and becoming an immortal has also dissipated a lot.
Of course, Townsend didn't expect them to be grateful to him for it, and obviously, neither did the pirates, for Townsend they had only anger at being deceived, and fear deeper than anger.
Especially after Townsend obtained the Sword of Triton, the pirates' natural fear of Blackbeard was obviously attached to Townes, and it also made them lose the last of their resistance.
Anyway, the fleet is finally back to normal sailing, although everyone still doesn't know where the destination is.
The days went by day by day.
In the eyes of everyone on the boat, Mr. Tang still maintains a peaceful and friendly attitude every day, but Tom keenly notices that Mr. Tang seems to be a little strange, and as time passes, it becomes more and more strange.
He spent more and more time at the bow of the boat, and from time to time he looked at the compass in William Turner's hand, and practiced fencing with himself, often absent-mindedly.
"How long has it been since we've been out of Port Royal, Tom?"
"Mr. Tang, you already asked me this question yesterday." Tom cautiously replied, "We've been at sea for almost four months. β
"Has it been four months?"
Tom looked at Tang Sen's thoughtful expression and said, "Mr. Tang, although it is a little presumptuous... Why do you seem a little anxious? β
"We still have enough supplies and supplies, enough to sail on the sea for a long time, and as long as that compass doesn't go wrong, we'll always find David Jones."
"Yes, we'll always find him." Tang Sen still looked at the unchanged sea level and muttered to himself, "The premise is, if there is enough time." β
"Mr. Tang?" Tom wondered, "What are you worried about?" β
"You won't understand, Tom." Townsend closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
"Has it been a month and a half? Luck, it seems, is not on my side. β
He snapped his eyes open.
"In that case, there is no need to pin your hopes on illusory luck."
"Tom, we need to take a trip to the Black Pearl."
