Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 235

? They harvested a lot of gunpowder in this battle, but since the pirates’ guns were only 12-pound guns, the whole ship could not even find a few 16-pound rounds.

“Are these shells usable?”

Gordon slumped sleepily on the chair in the surveying and mapping room, resting his head on one hand, and discussed with Allen who was sitting across from him.

“The caliber of the shell does not match the barrel, which will lead to insufficient chamber pressure when fired…”

“Say what I can understand.”

“We can launch, but the power is very small, the range may be less than twenty meters, it may be closer.”

“That means it can’t be used at all? Then throw it all into the sea!”

Gordon raised his head and yawned. The battle from morning to night made him almost fall asleep. As the lightning faded, the entire sea area fell silent, and they were just moving towards the outer White Shark at this moment.

“There should be no war tonight…”

“Captain, in fact, we can leave a part and place it on the deck. When the time comes, it can be filled with iron sand, broken glass, etc., and it can be used to kill sailors during the battle.”

“…Isn’t it just a grenade? Let me know when you come into contact with the White Shark.”

In the dark sea, I saw a ship full of sails, kerosene lamps dimly illuminated the sea, leaving a circle of ripples, and further away, a large ship was moored there.

When Gordon woke up, he opened his bloodshot eyes, and what he saw was Wilson’s vicissitudes of life. With a kerosene lamp in one hand, he sat down in the chair where Allen had sat before.

“You are very tired.”

“Of course, as you can see.”

“I heard about your deeds from Jon, and I have to express my sincere admiration. You are a legendary captain. Your half-year at sea is more colorful than most people’s lives.”

“If you’re just here to compliment, I don’t think it’s necessary.”

“I’m just here to remind you that a lot of ships have hit the rocks and were smashed in half in the big waves. If you want to replenish supplies, you can go inside and look for gunpowder, medicine, round bullets, or rum, Even better if you can find gold coins.”

“These guys are really not afraid of death, Miss Elonor’s motivation is really terrible.” Gordon forced a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then suddenly thought that he hadn’t gone to see Andrea for a long time.

“Go back first. When my supplies are collected, it’s going to be a tough battle.”

After he finished speaking, he got up, pushed the door and walked out. He had to hurry up so that the enemy would not have more time to prepare.

Going to the cabin to see the little girl who was frightened all day, and finally fell asleep in the quiet night, Gordon could only smile bitterly, he didn’t know if what he had done was worth it.

The Jackdaw had only a handful of sailors on deck to hold on, Gordon steered off the White Shark himself and headed for the reef area, using the Hawkeye for extended periods of time gave him a great load, but that was the only way.

There were a lot of floating corpses on the sea, broken masts and planks, and the only remaining kerosene lamp on a sailboat that was almost broken in half, illuminating the terrified survivors.

They turned a blind eye to the approach of the Jackdaw, not happy, let alone fear.

The Jackdaw couldn’t get in any further, the reefs were so dense that only small boats could get close.

“Let’s go, there shouldn’t be anything left.”

Gordon shook his head, the ship was like this, and the supplies were floating in the entire sea area. It is better to go to the ship by yourself and salvage it around.

“Captain, what about the survivors?”

In the Convention of the Sea, people who fall into the water and those who hit the rocks will be helped no matter what their status, because it is hard to say that everyone has this day.

“We don’t have time to delay here. Besides, being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself.”

Gordon shook his head and turned to leave. I don’t know since when, he also became hard-hearted. Maybe he killed more people, maybe he had seen more deaths.

Ellen hesitated, but in the end he couldn’t say anything.

“Salvage the wooden boxes, barrels on the water… We won’t stay here too long…”

He loudly ordered to the sailors that it was not that easy to replenish the gunpowder projectiles of the two ships, the White Shark and the Jackdaw.

After sailing a lot of places, I finally found a relatively intact ship on a reef. Of course, this kind of integrity is only relative. The captain of this ship has given up, taking advantage of the calm weather and taking a group of sailors away. go.

The stern of this ship is also written in dark English. If I read it correctly, it should be called the Brandy. There is a large reef embedded in the bottom of the ship. It should be hit by the waves in the storm. The whole ship should be half filled with water. , a lot of materials scattered on the sea.

“This ship is worth a good salvage.”

Gordon nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered the sailors to stow the sails and lower the anchor.

He took Mickey and two other sailors to approach the Brandy in a small boat. He needed to make sure that the boat was stable so that it would not fall apart after more people boarded the boat.

“I’m sure the captain of this ship is a Dutch alcoholic.”

“Maybe we could get a lot of brandy or something?”

The sailors were joking, reviving their optimism and humour during these calm times.

On the deck, there are a lot of cracks on the deck of the brandy, and the darkness hidden in it is like a beast that devours people, but the whole is relatively stable.

“Hang a light on the ship’s side to notify the sailors to board.”

This was the signal they had agreed to before, if the ship could hold more people.

The deck was vibrating, and this was the only thing Gordon felt a little out of place. This kind of vibration had rules, but it seemed like the waves were lapping, which made people a little confused.

“Check the remaining supplies separately, and confirm the food. We don’t have much left.”

Gordon ordered, and headed down the deck with the lantern.

The fire was dim, and he didn’t want to use his eagle eyes anymore, the swaying shadow looked huge in the darkness, and ferocious, setting off the danger of darkness.

“Anyone else……”

Mickey shouted loudly, mixed with the creaking sound of the wooden stairs echoing in the space~www.mtlnovel.com~ It seems that no one is there. “

…

Gordon walked down, the cabin where the lower-level sailors lived was a little slippery, and even had seaweed shellfish, so he had to walk carefully.

Deng… Deng… Deng!

The vibration came again, more clearly than it felt on the deck, like a beating heart.

“Did you feel anything? Some kind of vibration.”

Gordon wondered if he was feeling wrong, or was it really just waves lapping?

“Without the captain, I didn’t feel anything.”

Mickey just looked around the cabin with wide eyes, which had all his attention.

Gordon finally shook his head and put the question behind him.
