Tonight, everyone's attention was attracted by what was happening on the beach, so that no one noticed the Jackdaw and Vader that had just returned to port.
Zhang Heng also saw the fire and the crowd on the beach from the deck, but he didn't pay much attention to it at first. After the Jackdaw was berthed, he took Annie and Billy to the dock in a small boat, but then he also paid attention Arriving at the strange position of the Breeze and the two strange three-masted sailing ships in the harbor.
Zhang Heng realized what might have happened. Before the boat even docked, he saw the tied-up Breeze crew and the tragic death of Booker.
Zhang Heng frowned and said a few words to Billy, who nodded. After Zhang Heng and Annie disembarked, he took the other two pirates and immediately rowed back to the Jackdaw.
Afterwards, Zhang Heng stepped ashore on the soft sand, and the onlookers saw that he consciously gave way to a path.
Wilton turned around after hearing this and raised his eyebrows, "Sorry, who are you?"
"Zhang Heng, the captain of the Jackdaw."
"So," Wilton spread his hands, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"Miss Karina is the Jackdaw's partner on the island and also my friend."
"Oh, I understand." Wilton nodded, "Then I'm afraid you have to find a new partner, because this Miss Karina now has neither a ship nor a person, and she also owes me a lot of debt. , is planning to be our guide, have fun with us and ask me to spare the life of her men."
After hearing this, Karina could no longer control her anger and slapped Wilton on the face.
The latter reached out and touched the place where he was beaten, and looked at the businesswoman. Karina was frightened by his eyes and took two steps back, but then she saw another smile on Wilton's face.
But that smile not only did not make Karina relax, but instead gave her a bone-chilling chill in her heart.
Wilton turned to the men behind him and said, "It seems that Miss Karina does not have a clear enough understanding of her situation."
Immediately after he finished speaking, someone took Booker's body off the wooden bars and dragged the second prisoner over.
Karina's breathing quickened, and she looked at Zhang Heng for help, but she didn't know what else the latter could do at this time. Although Zhang Heng had returned, he was the only one among the first people to land on the Jackdaw. and Anne, and most of Wilton's crew were on this beach.
There is a huge disparity in power between the two sides, and there is nothing anyone can do in this situation.
Wilton played with his knife and walked towards the second prey. During this period, he looked at Zhang Heng with provocative eyes. The latter was exactly as he expected, but he could only remain silent after witnessing this scene.
The place Wilton chose this time was the chest. He tapped it twice with the tip of the knife, fully appreciating the frightened expression of the prey, and then raised the knife in his hand again.
However, the next moment, two gunshots suddenly sounded in his ears.
Wilton frowned, "Who's so fucking crazy again? We're here to do business, not to cause trouble. There are still some ruthless characters here. In addition to Honig just now, there are two others named Black Prince." And the guy with the black beard, we still have to be polite on their territory.”
As a result, after he finished speaking, he saw a group of subordinates looking at each other. After a while, someone said, "Captain, it was not us who fired the cannon. Well...it seems that someone is attacking our ship."
Wilton's expression changed, and he looked toward the port. Sure enough, he saw his flagship Skeleton being bombarded. Although there were many people on his ship, he obviously did not expect that his side would be attacked, and he had no idea about it. After the first round of shelling from the opposite ship, they didn't even have time to open the gun window.
"Return the Breeze and its cargo, release all crew members, and I will stop the attack." Zhang Heng said.
"if not?"
"Otherwise I will sink your flagship." Zhang Heng said calmly.
Wilton's face darkened upon hearing this, "I have been a pirate for so long and no one has ever threatened me."
"Congratulations, now you have it." Zhang Heng's expression remained unchanged, "You can continue to hesitate, but I can't guarantee that your ship will still be parked there in five minutes."
"Aren't you afraid of violating the rules of the island by doing this? Attacking ships parked in the port is prohibited in any city."
"You're not a pirate on the island, so there doesn't seem to be any problem with me doing this."
Wilton's fingers tapped the back of the knife with increasing speed, as if he was thinking about something.
"By the way, if you expect to delay the time and let another ship attack, I advise you to give up this idea, because I can guarantee that your other ship will not be able to move at all."
Wilton was a little unconvinced at first, but when he saw the Vader parked not far away and the densely packed gun barrels on it, he knew that the other party was not talking nonsense. His other ship saw this and it turned out that Don't dare to act rashly again.
Wilton looked into Zhang Heng's eyes, his eyes flashing fiercely, "Are you sure you want to be my enemy?"
"What about you?" Zhang Heng's eyes didn't dodge at all, and he kept looking directly at Wilton. The latter finally chose to give in and waved, "Let him go."
Wilton's men cut the ropes on the prisoners. After the Breeze sailors were freed, two of them immediately ran to Karina's side. The remaining one, a middle-aged man, staggered to the dead cloth. Ke Qian, holding the latter's body and crying loudly.
He was Booker's uncle and the one who took Booker on the boat. Unexpectedly, he led his nephew to a dead end.
Wilton looked at Zhang Heng, who was indifferent.
Wilton gritted his teeth and said, "Notify the brothers on the ship to release the remaining people, and return the ship and cargo to them." After that, he said to Zhang Heng, "Are you satisfied?"
Zhang Heng finally made a move this time. He raised his hand and made a gesture. The lookout hand holding a telescope on the Jackdaw immediately notified Billy.
The Jackdaw stopped attacking half a minute later, but by this time the Skeleton was already scarred, and although it did not sink, it had basically lost its ability to fight back.
The firepower of the Jackdaw is far beyond that of ordinary pirate ships. The cannons on the ship are equipped with warships, and at such a close distance, basically no one can miss the target.
Wilton's face turned livid after learning about the damage to the Skeleton, but this time he didn't say anything. He just took a deep look at Zhang Heng and hurried back to the ship with his men.
Annie frowned, "Are we really going to let them go like this? This guy doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp."
"After all, there are so many of them on the shore. If we really push him, he will take action against us." Zhang Heng paused, "But you are right, after he repairs the boat, he will definitely come back to seek revenge on us. So tonight we are going to solve this problem and inform the crew on the ship to prepare for battle."
