Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 69
Alan, who heard the voices of the sailors, ran out first, and then there were more sailors in the cabin.
“Captain! How are you?”
Allen helped Gordon up, but the latter didn’t respond at all. He was out of the seawater environment. Blood oozes out from the wound on Gordon’s body again, directly staining Allen’s hands red.
Coolidge rushed over at this time, pushed aside the onlookers, saw Gordon, who was seriously injured, and then looked back at Havana, which was still very chaotic, and hurriedly shouted.
“Hold up your hands and carry the captain in first. All the sailors return to their posts and prepare to sail.”
Allen and two other sailors carried Gordon back to the captain’s room, then found some water for Gordon and fed it.
The sailors who had been idle all started running, raising their anchors and lowering their sails.
This time, the Jackdaw only had specific supplies, and it didn’t even load the cargo. Under the condition of light load, the full sail went straight to nine knots and rushed out in an instant.
At this time, the personnel of the Guards began to take paper orders to ask the people of the Navy to cooperate with the blockade of the port.
Looking at the Jackdaw sailing in the distance, a lieutenant pulled out his binoculars and looked at the British three-masted barque, hesitating for a moment.
Such a British navy standard warship has escaped bizarrely at the moment. Obviously there is a problem. If you catch up at this moment, if no problem is found, then everyone will be happy. The game is not something he can play as a lieutenant at all.
At this time, he wisely chose to ignore it, and let the soldiers start to board various ships to search.
The ships that stopped in the port suffered. Many Dutch, French, or British sailboats had their cargo and crew detained for various inexplicable reasons, and their practices were very tough, and they were not allowed to take money to redeem people at all.
At this time, the market, where Governor Torres died, has been blocked by layers of soldiers. Woods directly picked up the body of Governor Torres, Julian followed, and Edward walked with the soldiers who escorted Roberts with a very serious expression. .
His employer was dead, and he still got nothing. Woods looked at him with a murderous look in his eyes, as if to put the death of Governor Torres all on him, it was nonsense.
Edward spat in disdain, and was hated by people after working in vain for a long time. I really don’t know why he came to this hellish place.
But he can’t leave yet, he won’t get anything here, before he gets his bounty, or, to find the observatory?
In the meeting of joining the Paladins, Torres once said that the observatory can check everyone’s position, thinking, and even modify a person’s thinking, so if you get it yourself, it will not be a wealth of hundreds of gold coins.
“Roberts…”
Edward glanced at Sage Roberts next to him. If a person’s blood can open the observatory, then absolutely, this person knows a lot of things, but now is not a good time. The whole city is under martial law, and he still needs to Find a boat, maybe Bonnet can help.
Woods and Julian directly escorted the body of Governor Torres back to the Governor’s Palace, and Edward took this opportunity to **** Roberts outside the prison, and cleaned the entire terrain and defense, ready to find an opportunity to do it.
“Templar Knights? What a **** nonsense organization.”
For things that can’t bring benefits to Edward, it’s all nonsense.
…
When Gordon woke up, it was already midnight. Looking at the moonlight outside the window, he felt a little thirsty.
When struggling to remember, he found that his upper body was almost wrapped in bandages, and the bleeding had been stopped, but the constant pain and weakness prevented him from getting up.
“Ellen? Bring me some water…”
Although he wanted to shout loudly, he could only make some faint sounds.
In desperation, Gordon could only help the wardrobe beside him to get up, but one of them didn’t stand firm and fell directly to the ground.
Hearing the voice inside, Mickey and Curry, who had been negotiating outside the door, reacted, then pushed the door open and saw Gordon who fell to the ground.
“Captain, are you awake, do you feel better?”
As Mickey spoke, he came over to help Gordon up and let him sit on the bed again.
“Find me some water, where are we now?”
The rocking of the boat made it easy for Gordon to get out that they had set sail, which was a wise decision.
Coolidge picked up the kettle from the table, poured a glass and handed it to Gordon.
“We’re on a route to Nassau, we’re running low on supplies, and we need to make one last supply at Nassau before returning to England.”
Gordon took the glass and drank it, which relieved his thirst.
“Return to England…”
“Captain, we don’t know what your identity is, but you killed the governor of Havana in the Caribbean Sea, we can’t stay any longer, even if the British Navy continues to penetrate, the east of Cuba belongs to the Portuguese forces .”
Gordon nodded, this decision was not wrong, at least until his injury was not completely healed, it was better to avoid the limelight.
But seeing Coolidge and Mickey looking at big shots, Gordon just smiled bitterly.
“Don’t look at me like this, I’m just like you know…”
“No no no, captain, it’s amazing that you were able to assassinate the governor of Havana.”
The United Kingdom and Spain have been at war for a long time. The peace treaty between the two countries was signed two years ago.
The high level of the empire decides war or peace through interests, but the fleet on the sea is very vengeful. In the past, the merchant ships that Coolidge encountered in Spain always avoided it, and they were afraid that they would suddenly open their artillery and rush over.
But it was almost only his fantasy, and his boats were not even considered by the Spanish privateers.
“Look at me like this, tsk tsk, how can I look like a big man, I’m just a poor worm being chased and killed.”
Gordon waved the bandage on his hand, then put the water glass aside.
This time Gordon began to reflect on whether he was a little too impulsive. The assassination had obviously failed, the enemy had already assembled, and he still shot at a moment when the situation was getting worse and worse, which was fundamentally contrary to the way of an assassin.
Looking at Gordon, he didn’t want to say anything, and Coolidge didn’t ask anymore: “Captain, you have a good rest, but I hope you don’t do things so recklessly in the future, and you will die alone.”
Gordon originally wanted to say something, but Coolidge interrupted him directly: “There is still a lot of time. Let’s talk about it when you recover from your injury.”
