Reborn As a Pirate - v2 Chapter 712
Wow!
Under the efforts of the sailors, Lorraine was dragged out of the water.
The Lion is reversing, taking off the anchor, pressing the sails, and slowly exiting the cramped pier plank road in the night wind and fire.
The voices of people on the pier are like waves.
The people who stayed overnight on the boat were frightened by the explosion, crying, groaning, and begging, and fluttered like flies on the pier and the embankment.
There are also clever ships trying to leave the port like the Lion and escape from this place of right and wrong, but they only have the action of anchoring, and the Lion roars and blasts its artillery.
Boom!
The eighteen-pound clear announcement spread far in the night sky, but Lorraine did not see which ship or plank road was shot, nor did he see the splash on the sea.
The sailors chanted and dragged Lorraine onto the deck. Lorraine quickly took off his boots and drenched dress, which were filled with water, and ran to Shaq in three or two steps with his collar.
“Where are my girls?”
“In the bottom deck, with Ann and Les.” Shak paused. “Colon Amani personally guarded the hatch.”
“Did you order the firing of empty bombs?”
“Are you willing to let those boats whose enemy we don’t know us block the waterway?”
Lorraine nodded clearly, seeing the fire on the horizon.
“Damn, what happened to my ship?”
“A large-scale explosion caused half a plank road to be set off, and your ship was destroyed. Even if you forcibly leave the port, it is impossible to float at sea. What happened to my ship?”
“For the six water ghosts, about 1/3 of the rudder stock was broken. The current impact may not be significant, but once the speed becomes faster and the steering becomes too fierce…”
“Left full rudder! Turn around, fix it!” The helmsman shouted in a timely manner.
Lorraine and Shaq were both stunned, and for a while, Lorraine asked sincerely: “How is your helmsman?”
“It’s not as good as you.” Shaq threw the knife belt over. “Put away the knife.”
“Received, noble sir.”
Tightening the leather buckle, retracting the knife and returning it to its sheath, Lorraine rushed to the steering wheel barefoot, raised his leg and kicked the Lion’s sailing leader to the ground.
“The helmsman is in place!” He shouted loudly, “The wind is southeast and south, the wind speed is medium, the sea is full of waves, and the sail is full!”
The entire deck was dumbfounded.
Shaq walked quickly towards Lorraine and ordered loudly as he walked: “Navigation authority is delegated to lower the rudder, and the captain will report to the pilot position immediately. Major General Emmons will temporarily act as the captain and form the ship to meet the enemy’s command platform. The above order is 30 seconds. , Gentlemen, move!”
The people standing still on the deck dispersed with a bang, a huge sail rose to the tip of the mast, and dozens of sailors climbed onto the stringer.
Lorraine gently moved the handwheel, and the Lion corrected its course and cut into the wind belt. There was a bang, and the sails swelled.
“Level 1 alert, open gun doors!” Emmons boarded the command platform on the second floor, representing the basic completion of the formation of the command to meet the enemy.
The gun doors on both sides of the Lion opened quickly, and the black hole’s gun muzzle was hidden in the black hole cabin, densely packed and murderous.
Lorraine steered away from the island, walking, thinking about the purpose of the next stop.
Boston is the most recent choice, but the Lion is a warship of the Royal Navy. From a diplomatic point of view, it can only berth in ports designated by the United States.
You can’t go to Boston, nor can you go to the farther places such as Provincetown and Gloucester, and even the farther Long Island and New York.
The best destination right now is undoubtedly Chanal Basque. The problem is…
“Who do you think the hunter is?” Shaq guarded his left and right, and asked quietly behind Lorraine.
“No surprise, it should not be your competitors in England.” Lorraine first ruled out Chanel-Basque’s biggest hidden danger. “You can’t guess who I met in the sea.”
“Who?”
“A beast, and a dead man.” Lorraine recalled Bonnet’s monster-like face and naked body. “Remember the pirate you executed with guns on this sea two years ago?”
“Why do I have to remember those trivial things?”
“Uh… the person you killed is not irrelevant in the New World…” Lorraine suddenly saw Shaq’s indifferent irritability, “Forget it, that’s a pirate, very strong, strong enough to four cannons. He couldn’t kill him on the spot either.”
“Obviously someone rescued him after that battle. Whoever saved him may be the man behind the attack.”
“Someone who might save him at the time…” Shaq pondered for a moment, “this list is too big.”
“The list is very big, but there is no your enemy in it.” Following the current, Lorraine gently reset the handle. “As for who is calculating me, I waited until Chanal-Basque…”
“Unidentified ship found! To the northeast, the distance is less than 800 meters, sneaking, relative! Feature comparison…A ship with no similar features is a Tier 3 battleship that is not in service!”
Lorraine’s most worried thing happened after all!
It is half past eight in the evening, the moonlight is dim, and the night is deep.
If that unknown opponent is really ready to put him to death, night attacks and night battles are definitely impossible means to be let go.
Lorraine thought that waiting for them might be the overwhelming boats, a total of 10 or 20, there are sporadic backbone destroyers, most of which are Brigentine, which is also the most convenient for powerful maritime merchants and pirates to take out. line-up.
Who knew it would be a Tier 3 battleship that appeared in front of you!
Heading northeast and east, at a distance of 800, Lorraine didn’t care about the injured rudder stock of the Lion. Taking advantage of the speed of the ship, he immediately ordered the adjustment of the sail and left the rudder at 10 degrees.
The Lion slid away and cut through the bow of the ship. The ship on the opposite side fired its bow cannons, with a few beatings, and the shells landed two to three hundred meters away from the Lion.
“Eighteen pounds!”
Lorraine heard the caliber of the gun and saw the appearance of the ship.
She is a brand-new French battleship with a slender hull than the British, but the bow lacks sharpness, and is incompatible with the New World genes of the sword, bow, shield and stern that Lorraine has seen the most.
The most striking thing about her is her sail, the bright red mainsail, the huge white skull in the middle, the skull with a machete in its mouth, and the hideous barbed desert rose entwined on its head. .
Shaq’s eyes narrowed into a line, and he squeezed Lorraine’s arm very tightly.
“This is a pirate ship?”
“In 1668, the pirates did not have the habit of drawing pirate flags. Most pirates painted their logos on their main sails, and the most famous of them was the pirate emperor.”
“According to the legend, he dyed his mainsail with the blood of three hundred Spanish officers, dyed the pure white canvas blood red, and crushed them with their liver and pancreas to paint a huge black skeleton wearing a rosette crown. This is why the pirate empire used rose flowers as a status symbol.”
Shaq snorted coldly: “You mean we are facing a man who has been dead for more than 100 years, and he also replaced his ghost ship with a French battleship?”
“I’m not a lunatic…” Lorraine rolled his eyes, “I just saw the pirate emperor’s mark~www.mtlnovel.com~ I suddenly figured out the identity of the man behind the scenes.”
“The call with great fanfare, the sudden encirclement of the island, the missing fury and the explosives buried in the plank road…”
“They are really smart. They never try to remove themselves from the list of suspects. Instead, they expand the range of suspects as much as possible. I subconsciously recognize their innocent label with repeated whitewashing.”
“If it were not for the perverted worship of their ancestors, they would have almost succeeded… the descendants of Henry Morgan!”
“The direct line of the Morgan family area should be Susan Morgan.” Shaq recalled the intelligence of the well-known family in the New World, “and that Alsace King.”
“Concentrate first.” He said, “Now that we know the identity of the opponent, when we get out this time, we have a way to deal with them.”
“Wait, we?”
“The enemy ship turned around!” The watcher interrupted Lorraine, “She is chasing us, fast… shelling!”
