Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 223

The route to Kingston is not too close. It takes about half a month for ordinary merchant ships to travel from Nassau, which also gives pirates a lot of opportunities. Because once there is a headwind or no wind, this time will be prolonged indefinitely.

Pirates swarmed out to sea towards Kingston to the south, and they would spread the news on the sea, and more pirates would join in.

The ships of various countries carrying heavy treasures are all escorted by battleships, and the route is unknown. The pirates are like a mess of sand and dare not provoke them, but they are just a privateer. Armed merchant ships or fishing boats are like walking fat.

Of course, this is the naive idea of ​​the captain who has never fought with the Jackdaw.

The pirates sailed south to catch the ship in Kingston’s course, but Gordon had no plans to go to Kingston at all, and set off west to Tulum.

Tulum is located on the coast of the Caribbean Sea, in the northeast of the Yucatan Peninsula, which is also a place that makes Gordon somewhat unexpected.

“Why do I always remember that it was an island?”

When he marked the coordinates given by Mary on the map, his eyes flickered with thought. He wondered if the world was different, or if he remembered it wrongly?

But it happened that this time he was sailing westward and would pass through Havana, and he remembered that there seemed to be treasures there that he had yet to dig.

“Two trees with crooked necks, let me take a look… West of a windmill, under the stone.”

He still has his parents at home in Havana. He is a little hesitant in his heart. He left without saying goodbye because of Edward, and Havana belongs to Spain, but now he belongs to the British privateers. Both countries are ready to go to war. He is not sure that the Jackdaw will enter the port Will it be welcomed by the fort’s fifty-pound fort gun.

Now if he reveals his identity, someone knows that he is the son of Oliver’s family, which may bring great danger to his family. Besides, he also assassinated the Governor of Havana, returning to that land is really a guilty conscience.

As for the treasure, it wasn’t enough for him to take such a big risk to get it.

“I just hope that nothing will happen again.”

……

Of course, the arrival of things is not based on human thoughts. On the fifth day of the voyage, in the northern waters of Havana, he met a warship with a British flag. After discovering the Jackdaw, he directly Moved closer to this side.

“Captain Gordon, what a pleasure to meet.”

A young colonel took off his white gloves and threw them to the adjutant beside him.

Those young soldiers with guns quickly entered the deck of the Jackdaw and cleared the irrelevant sailors to one side, leaving only Gordon, the chief mate, and the bosun.

The sailors of the Jackdaw were agitated, full of hostility towards this behavior, and even a little bit eager to move, holding their scimitars and muskets.

However, this colonel seems to have become commonplace, does not care, or has enough confidence in his soldiers.

“Your ship is different from other privateers.”

He looked at the ship and praised it. Although he seemed to be polite, he never mentioned his name from beginning to end, and he acted like a general who came to inspect.

Of course, there are very few regular warships that can be regarded as privateers, these pirates who originally burned, killed and looted, but were finally pardoned by the kingdom.

“I don’t know what I can do, Colonel?”

Gordon didn’t have too many expressions. No matter how upset he was, he could only keep it in his heart. As the overlord of this sea, the British Navy naturally had his proud capital.

“Actually, it’s just a coincidence. I saw the name of this ship from a distance, and I just wanted to meet the famous black cat captain.”

“With all due respect, Colonel, I don’t think I have any reputation.”

“Captain Gordon, the kingdom has officially declared war on Spain, and the Imperial Navy has officially issued a conscription order to all privateers, ordering all privateers to go to Port Royal to prepare for war as soon as they receive the order.”

The colonel’s voice fell, and he looked at Gordon’s expression with some anticipation, that stupid expression.

Almost all privateers were ecstatic after receiving this news. As long as the war did not end in a short period of time, he could plunder those poor Spanish merchant ships as much as he could, stuff their ships with gold coins, and splurge.

These short-sighted people, they never thought that after this war, the British Empire’s dominance in the seas was unbreakable, and the privateers would also usher in the end.

“I know, I will go to Port Royal after replenishing enough manpower.”

Gordon’s reaction was different from what he had imagined, and he frowned thoughtfully, which changed his opinion a lot.

“Actually, I have a personal question. The prison in Lisbon was attacked by unknown people, do you know who it is? It is said that your ship was docked there and then hurriedly set sail that night. “

The Colonel’s eyes carried some serious scrutiny, completely different from the initial smile.

Gordon’s heartbeat suddenly slowed for half a beat, but his expression did not reveal the slightest: “The colonel thinks I did this?”

“No, I’m just asking casually.”

The Colonel grinned, but his expression was more subtle.

“Sorry, I was in a hurry to set sail because of the kingdom mission at the time. I didn’t know the relevant news.”

Gordon shook his head~www.mtlnovel.com~ and indicated that he had no idea.

“I see, good sailing, Captain, see you in Port Royal.”

The colonel didn’t say anything, just turned around and walked away with the soldiers stepping on the plank.

It wasn’t until the battleship retracted the planks and the two ships raised their sails and set sail again that Aaron, who was beside him, couldn’t help but speak: “Our affairs have been exposed?”

“Just beating, my first officer, as long as they don’t have any substantive evidence in their hands, it’s impossible to convict me.”

Gordon took a deep breath, and sure enough, the empire’s eyes and ears were all over the place, and even every move that happened in Lisbon was under control.

“We need to speed up the progress, the battle is imminent, and try to reach Tulum within a week.”

Gordon frowned and pondered not that he foresaw the end of the privateers, but more worried about the casualties caused by the war. The Jackdaw was short of twenty people, and there were more than ten others. newbie.

“All sailors return to their posts, full sail!” He held the oath-keeping sword at his waist, as if he had seized some kind of opportunity at the same time.

“The captain ordered, go ahead with full sail!”

“All sailors climbed up for me…”

“Pull it up! Hurry up!”

……

Gordon pushed open the door of the captain’s room full of thought. This war might be another opportunity, a chance to get closer to power.

“Evan, what are we having for dinner? Is there a steak?”

The crisp female voice brought his thoughts back to reality, and the bored Andrea was sitting on the bed bored.

“I think there might be…”
