Pirates to the top

Chapter 17 The Darkest Hour (6)

Baishuang Town is rich in port resources, including not only official ports, but also many private ports and wild ports.

The so-called wild port refers to a naturally formed seaport that has not been artificially constructed or developed.Such wild ports abound along the long coast of Baishuang Town.

However, these ports are unable to berth large cargo ships and cannot load and unload large quantities of cargo. In addition, management is quite troublesome.Therefore, the official attitude towards these wild ports has been to turn a blind eye.

The place where everyone in Silas rushed was a rather hidden wild port that they accidentally discovered three years ago.The port is located in a huge cavern eroded by the sea.

Henry and everyone spent a long time remodeling this place.

"We're here." Silas looked at the water below. Although it was night, he could still see the waves crashing below.

"Let's go down and tidy up first. We'll leave here as soon as Henry comes." Salas looked at the growing fire behind him, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Just as everyone was about to climb down to the beach, Phillips turned to look at Jack.

"You stay here."

Jack's eyes narrowed and he asked without any sign of weakness: "Why?"

"Because I don't trust you."

"What if I insist?"

The smell of gunpowder between the two became stronger and stronger, and Valbo and Monet on the side were a little at a loss.

"That's enough Phillips. Take it back at this time. Jack was invited by Henry. If you have any dissatisfaction, wait until Henry comes back." Silas, who was walking in front, scolded Phillips.

"Hmph" Staring at Jack, Phillips finally acquiesced.

Everyone slowly followed the slope to the beach. There was a huge cave below, one-fifth of the cave was submerged by sea water.

Everyone followed Silas and walked in from the side of the cave.Monet used a match to light a kerosene lamp hanging on the cave wall, and Jack was able to use the faint firelight to see the entire cave.

The depth of the cave is only about ten meters, but there are obvious signs of artificial construction.At the end of the cave, there is a trestle made of wood, and two sampans are floating in the sea below the trestle.

Around the trestle, there were rows of wooden boxes stacked up, and I didn’t know what was inside.

Silas came to a box and used the crowbar nearby to pry open the lid.He took out a white fur coat and threw it to Jack.

"We will be drifting at sea for at least one day and one night in the future. If there are not enough heating measures in the North Sea during this season, we will freeze to death on the sea due to excessive body temperature."

Jack nodded and pulled the obviously ill-fitting fur coat on.

Afterwards, Monet and others opened the wooden boxes one by one to reveal the items inside.

Flashlight, matches, candles, alcohol stove, warm clothes, sextant, compass, nautical chart, dried meat and vegetables, two large barrels of fresh water and two large barrels of spirits.

When he opened the last wooden box, Jack showed a surprised expression.

The box was filled with a row of flintlock pistols and revolvers, and under the pistols were rows of bullets.

At this time, Valpo came in and said with an ugly face: "It's not good."

Everyone slowly climbed out of the cave and looked in the direction that Valpo pointed. About 100 meters away from the beach, there were two three-masted sailboats cruising.With the dim moonlight, one could even clearly see the dark muzzles on the gun deck and the dark shadows coming and going on the movable deck mountain.

Salas motioned for everyone to lie down. The searchlight at the bow of the ship swept across the shore from time to time, seeming to be looking for something.

"What should we do now?" Phillips frowned and looked at Silas.

"What do you think?" Silas did not answer Phillips' question, but instead asked Jack, who had been silent since just now.

Jack thought for a while and said: "Assuming that these two sea ships are the same as those who attacked the town, we will definitely be discovered if we drive out like this. I suggest waiting for Henry to come back first. Secondly, find out what these two ships are like. The intentions and laws of a seagoing ship.”

"If these two ships are really the party that attacked Baishuang Town, then they must have some purpose in cruising here, and they cannot stay here forever."

Silas nodded and motioned for everyone to retreat to the cave to avoid being discovered by searchlights.

In the woods outside White Frost Town, Jackal Bit and Henry were confronting each other.

Henry was covered in blood at this time, and other injuries such as Albadon's knife wound or Bit's heavy punch did not cause fatal injuries to Henry.After all, Henry has tasted even the hardest fists.

But only the previous gunshot wound hindered him. The lead bullet shot into the abdomen caused the wound to bleed continuously.Coupled with Henry's violent movements, his wounds continued to expand.

Jackal Pit, the second-in-command of the Sea Dog Pirates, did not dare to act rashly at this time.Because until now, he still couldn't determine what happened to Albadon not far away, and whether all this was related to the young man in front of him.

"There's something weird about this kid"

Although it is ridiculous for the majestic first mate of the Sea Dog Pirates, who roams the North Sea, to confront a kid, but to reach his current position, Pit relies on more than just his strong muscles. Pit, the Jackal, lives up to his name.

"Kid, you are very powerful. You can last so long in the hands of me and Yael. You are the first one I have seen since I went to sea."

Bit put the shield on his back and said seriously.

"You go."

Henry frowned, as if he thought he heard wrong.

"Are you kidding? You were the one who attacked me just now, and you were the one who asked me to leave. Why should you let me go?"

Bit's resolute face showed a trace of helplessness: "We have no choice but to treat us as a free sea. Moreover, my companions are seriously injured now. I feel that instead of distinguishing themselves from you, the lives of my companions More important."

Henry looked at Bit's resolute face and serious expression and fell into silence.

Then he walked towards Bit, who saw this and walked towards Albadon who was lying on the ground behind Henry.

The two of them were separated for a moment.

"The gunshot wound in your abdomen must stop bleeding in time, otherwise it will be dangerous."

"Thank you."

Bit put down the tower shield behind his back and squatted in front of Albadon.

"How can I talk?"

Henry seemed relieved as he gradually walked away...

But

"Wong"

A buzzer exploded instantly, and the shield that was thrown out at high speed spun and cut in Henry's direction.

"die"

Suddenly the shield in his hand flew out.

Bit changed his previous resolute and serious face. At this time, he was extremely ferocious, exuding a frightening aura like a jackal.
