Zhang Heng was surrounded by a group of pirates and rushed towards the officers' mess on the ship. In the previous battle, his miraculous marksmanship left a deep impression on everyone, especially the last shot, which was almost done by himself. He turned the tide of the battle and won the praise and support of the pirates. Therefore, many pirates took him to drink as soon as the battle ended.
Even the farmer's son was pulled over. Everyone was also very interested in how he bit the British soldier's throat with his teeth. Originally, Malvern was not very popular on the ship, but after this incident, the pirates Their views on him also changed, and two pirates hooked up with him, which made him flattered.
As a result, this group of people met Orff walking towards him halfway, and they couldn't help but look embarrassed. Although the battle was over, there were still many things to do in the aftermath. Almost every one of them had many tasks, so running at this time Going for a drink is not a wise choice no matter how you look at it.
However, Orff did not criticize anyone for the first time this time. Instead, he nodded to Zhang Heng, "Well done!"
The pirates were stunned when they heard this, then burst into cheers, puffed out their chests, sang songs and continued looking for drinks.
Orff's last words, "Don't delay your work," were not heard by many people at all, and the few who heard them tried their best to pretend they didn't know anything.
Orff shook his head and knocked on the captain's cabin door.
A deep voice came from inside, "Come in."
"The prisoners are being transferred to the Sea Lion in batches in small boats. Owen is recruiting people there, mainly gunners. After all, we now have 90 artillery pieces." Orf paused, "Also, that guy is now imprisoned. In the carpenter's room, I honestly thought you were going to kill him."
"In your eyes, am I someone who doesn't care about the overall situation?" The man with a black beard was still wearing the blood-stained coat from the previous battle. The bleeding wound on his arm was not bandaged by the ship's doctor, but he But he didn't care. He took out two glasses from the drawer and poured red wine. "The culprit of that incident is still there. Compared with him, Elmer is just a small role. We can't fall here. But as an accomplice, One, Elmer will pay the price, I can guarantee you that.”
Orff took the wine glass and sighed, "Fourteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and we have finally reached this point. To be honest, for several years in the middle, I thought there was no hope. Now the only people on that list are Belo Monte is left, and our mission is finally almost completed. I am not young anymore. After this incident is over, I plan to retire. Find a place without people, go fishing, and plant flowers. Peaceful life, what are your plans, is Miss Agnes still writing to you?"
The man with a black beard opposite him was silent for a moment.
"You and I know this very well in our hearts. Once we set foot on this road, there is no possibility of looking back, right?" The man said lightly, "If civilization cannot bring me justice, then I will destroy it with barbarity."
"Oh, this really sounds like something you would say, then let me accompany you through the last part of the journey." Orff raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, he stood up. "The morale on the ship is pretty good at the moment, but based on my understanding of Fraser, he won't give up so easily. That old guy is like a poisonous snake, he just doesn't know where he is lurking, waiting for us to reveal our flaws. He will definitely It will give us a fatal blow."
"You are the helmsman of this ship. You will solve this hidden danger for us, right?"
"I'll do my best. We are still the same as before. You are responsible for fighting and I am responsible for taking care of those guys on the ship. I can't imagine what will happen after you leave me." Orff shrugged, walked to the door, and pulled it open Just as he was about to leave the handle, he seemed to remember something.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot the most important thing. This ship is ours now. Let's give her a new name."
"A name?" Something was burning in his eyes behind the wooden table, but his tone was calmer than the sea in the calm zone, "Then let's call her the Queen Anne's Revenge."
Orff raised his eyebrows, "Well, it sounds pretty good. I like this name. Enjoy this victory that belongs to you, Teach, and I'll handle the rest."
After saying that, he walked out of the captain's cabin and closed the wooden door behind him.
…………
Zhang Heng didn't know how many drinks he had been given. Fortunately, the alcohol content was not high at this time, and all the pirates were celebrating this miraculous victory.
A mere 170 people captured this huge ship carrying 700 sailors in a surprise attack. There were more than 400 prisoners alone. If they didn't see it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
Such a record is enough for any pirate to brag about in the tavern for a lifetime, and everyone can only listen obediently below.
With this ship, they can walk sideways in this sea area and rob whoever they want without any natural enemies.
The pirates were people who couldn't sit still. After drinking for a while in the officers' mess, they began to visit the freshly baked trophies with great interest. After a vote, everyone unanimously decided to keep Elmer's little band. .
Now those poor musicians are playing triumphant songs behind the pirates. Before, they played music for Elmora that was popular in the upper class. However, this kind of elegant stuff is obviously not popular among pirates. popular.
More than once they have been unreasonably asked to play something to cheer everyone up.
The feeling of watching a work of art being tarnished is unbearable for every aspiring musician. However, when they saw the shining knives in the hands of the pirates, the musicians finally decided to put aside their dignity and choose to work with the people. happy.
"I can't imagine that we actually did it!" A gunner stroked a 24-pound gun on the second deck and said excitedly, "With this thing, I can blow everything in front of us to pieces. .”
"Be careful, Bill, only real men can control such a big guy." Another old gunner said, causing the pirates to burst into laughter again.
"I can't wait to have a big fight with her! Imagine the eyes of those merchant ships when they see us, I even feel a little pity for them." Some pirates gloated.
After he said this, the music suddenly stopped, which made him a little dissatisfied, "Why don't you continue to pull? Did I tell you to stop?"
"I asked them to stop." A voice sounded from behind him.
Orff slowly walked out of the crowd.
