Pirate Avenger

Chapter 51 Disguise
"It's really destined, Hell! This time, I'll see where you go!"

Now that he discovered the whereabouts of the Inferno, Spark naturally wouldn't just leisurely accompany Stephen to complete his exploration journey. He issued an order as the second officer to return to the Surprise immediately.

Stephen's wound has not healed and he cannot do strenuous exercise.Spark directly carried him on his back, while the rest of them hung the scattered samples he had collected on their bodies, and ran back desperately.

The size of the island is not too big, and after an hour, everyone returned to the Surprise.

Jack is an experienced captain. When he saw the scene of everyone rushing back, he realized that something was wrong, and he directly ordered all the personnel to return to their posts immediately.

After boarding the ship, Spark put Steve down, went straight to Jack who came to meet him without stopping, and explained the situation concisely.

Realizing that this is a golden opportunity, Jack immediately ordered to set sail and rush to the other side of the island, trying to block the Hell in the port.

It's a pity that there was a lot of delay this time. By the time the Surprise arrived on the other side, the Hell had long since disappeared without a trace.This disappointed the crew members who previously had the scene of blocking the Hell and beating the dog in the water.

Opportunity is like this, fleeting, it is always for those who are ready at any time.

Although he passed by Hell, Jack was already very satisfied.Originally, he had already given up on the mission, but he did not expect to capture the other party's information again in a dramatic way.

Relying on the strength of the Hell, taking care of a few whaling ships is just a matter of hand.I thought it should have triumphed a long time ago, or appeared on the battlefield in the Pacific Ocean, but I didn't expect it to be delayed and stumbled here.

Because of Hogg, the navigator of the Albatross whaling ship, it is not difficult to judge the next route of the Hell.Hogg marked the whaling route of the previous fleet on the combat map, and Jack immediately ordered the pursuit along the route.

After that, Jack, who was free, visited Steve, who had returned with a full load.The two talked for quite some time in Steve's room.

When he came out, the thoughtful Jack was blocked by Spark.

"Are you going to chase after this? It seems that you have decided to carry out that damn plan!"

"Spark, I have a little new idea now, and I think it will be of great use in the future!"

"Oh? Doesn't that mean that I just..."

"No, the previous plan is still the same, double insurance!" Jack ignored Spark's liver-like face, patted him on the shoulder and continued: "Spark, you know, I didn't expect to study natural ecology. It will help improve the strategic level at sea, and you should also study hard.”

After speaking, Jack left on his own, leaving Spark with a dazed expression on his face.

"Huh? What is this all about?"

In order to understand what Jack meant, Spark also visited Stephen.Due to the many conversations between the two people before, Spark failed to analyze the reason. It was not until Steve took out the broken branch that looked like a dead branch but was actually a stick insect that Spark suddenly realized, but He still couldn't help complaining in his heart: "If you explain clearly, you will die, it's mysterious."

When Spark came to the deck, he found that everyone had obeyed Jack's order and started the work of disguising the Surprise.

"You are here, Spark, just to arrange your next work." Speaking of this, looking at Spark's resentful eyes, Jack asked puzzledly: "What happened? Your face is not very good. Yes Isn't it too tired recently? Pay attention to your body."

"Should I kill him? It seems good to be the captain myself!" Hearing Jack's question, this once flashing thought reappeared in Spark's mind.

"Next step, you have no other tasks. We can just follow the previous plan, and everything will be done."

"Kill him!" Finally, at this moment, Spark's simple thought sublimated into a belief, which could never be lingered.

In the early morning of the next day, it was not yet bright.

After the "Witch" (disguised by the Surprise) found itself crashing into the hunting circle of the Hell, it immediately turned around and fled in a panic.But obviously it was too late, and the hell number also attacked the other party.For this big fat sheep that crashed into its arms, Hell would naturally not let it go, and followed up.

On the deck, after confirming that the Hell was hooked, Spark has been controlling the direction of the Surprise to ensure that the Hell will come from the left side of the hull.

With the advantage of the current camouflage, Jack wants to destroy the main mast of the Hell in one fell swoop.In order to ensure the completion of the task to the greatest extent, Jack took the risk of adopting a close-range attack plan.For this purpose, the port cannon has had its rear wheel removed.In this way, the cannon can shoot higher, ignoring the protection of the opponent's ship's side, and directly attack the target.However, removing the rear wheels meant that the shells could not be reloaded, and the artillerymen had only one chance.Fortunately, some time ago, in order to make up for the huge firepower gap between the Surprise and the Hell, Jack specially conducted rapid-fire and precise shelling exercises, and now is the time to really test the results.

In the cabin, Jack is busy making the final deployment.

The task of Captain Howard of the Marine Corps is to lead his team members to attack the living forces on the opponent's deck with swivel guns and Mauser guns as soon as the camouflage is broken.

First Mate Tom took charge of the artillery, destroying the Inferno's mainmast.Regardless of success or failure, quickly turn to starboard and continue to attack the opponent.Even if the opponent had a two-foot hull, its defense was negligible at such a short distance.

Whether the artillery can destroy the main mast of the enemy ship, and whether they can kill the enemy in large numbers will affect the trend of this battle in a large sense.Not only that, at the right time, the commander will also lead the artillery to quickly reinforce the deck, see hand-to-hand combat.All of this requires the commander to adapt to the situation and make decisions independently, so Jack arranged his most trusted lieutenant Tom in this important position.

Collemi was in charge of dispatching the sailors and leading them into hand-to-hand combat.

Harlan was responsible for rescuing 30 of Albatross's crew after attacking the enemy ship. 30 people is also an extremely important combat force for this battle, and there is no room for loss.

Blankney stayed behind, commanding the left-behind crew of the Surprise to continue fighting in case of accidents.

As the second officer, Spark has already handed over the position of helmsman to Allen. He tied a long lifeline, took a simple oxygen bag, and quietly jumped into the sea from the bow of the ship, lurking on the side of the Surprise. the bottom of the boat.His target was the Hell's rudder.

Whether it is Spark or artillery, as long as one of the two succeeds, there will be a huge problem with the Inferno in terms of power, and the Surprise will take a huge advantage at that time.This is what Jack calls double insurance.I believe that with Jack's ability, it will be no problem to win the Hell later.

Everything is ready for the Surprise, just waiting for the arrival of the Inferno.
