Reborn As a Pirate

Crash!

With the efforts of the sailors, Lorraine was pulled out of the water.

The Lion was reversing, took off the anchor, pressed the sails, and slowly exited the cramped plank road in the night wind and fire.

There were voices on the pier.

The people who stayed on the boat were frightened by the explosion, crying, groaning, and begging, and they scrambled like headless flies on the pier and embankment.

There are also smart ships trying to leave the port like the Lion, fleeing this land of right and wrong, but they only have the movement of anchoring, and the Lion roared and fired its artillery.

Boom!

The eighteen-pound clear announcement was heard far away in the night sky, but Lorraine did not see any ship or plank road being shot, nor did he see the splash of water rising from the sea.

The sailors chanted and dragged Lorraine onto the deck. Lorraine quickly took off her water-filled boots and soaked dress, and ran to Shaq with his collar pulled.

Where are my girls?

In the bilge, with Ann and Rice. Shaker paused, Colonel Amani guards the cabin door himself.

You ordered the blank rounds to be fired?

Are you willing to let those small boats with unknown enemies block the channel?

Lorraine nodded knowingly, seeing the fire in the sky.

Damn, what happened to my boat?

A large-scale explosion set off half of the plank road. Your ship was destroyed. Even if you forcibly left the port, you would not be able to float on the sea. What happened to my ship?

Six water ghosts, about 1/3 of the rudder stock is broken, and the impact may not be great now, but once the speed becomes faster and the steering is too sharp...

Full left rudder! Turn around and fix it! The helmsman roared at the right time.

Both Lorraine and Shaq were stunned for a while, and Lorraine asked sincerely, How is your helmsman?

It's not as good as you. Shaq threw the belt with the knife over, Put the knife away.

Got it, my lord.

Fasten the buckle,

Putting the knife back into its sheath, Lorraine ran to the steering wheel barefoot, raised her leg and kicked the Lion's navigator to the ground.

The helmsman is in position! He shouted loudly, The wind is southeast and south, the wind speed is moderate, the sea is moderate, and the sail is fully hoisted!

The whole deck was stupefied.

Shaq walked quickly to Lorraine, and ordered loudly as he walked: Delegate the navigation authority to the rudder, and the navigator immediately reports to the pilot position. Rear Admiral Emmons will act as the captain and form the ship to meet the enemy command platform. The above order takes 30 seconds. , gentlemen, move!

The people standing on the deck scattered with a bang, the huge sail was raised to the top of the mast, and dozens of sailors climbed onto the yard.

Lorraine turned the handwheel lightly, and the Lion corrected its course and cut into the wind belt. There was a sound, and the sails swelled.

First-level security, the guns are fully open! Emmons boarded the command platform on the second floor, which represented the basic completion of the command to meet the enemy.

The gun ports on both sides of the Lion quickly opened, and the dark gun muzzles were hidden in the dark cabin, densely packed and full of murderous aura.

Lorraine steered the helm and sailed away from the island, thinking about the purpose of the next stop while walking.

Boston is the closest choice, but HMS Lion is a Royal Navy ship and diplomatically it can only berth in ports designated by the United States.

You can't go to Boston, and you can't go to provinces such as Provinceton and Gloucester, and you can't go to Long Island and New York.

The best destination at the moment is undoubtedly Cenare Basque Country, the problem is...

Who do you think the hunter is? Shaq asked softly behind Lorraine, guarding his left and right.

Not surprisingly, it shouldn't 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, a dead man. Lorraine recalled Bonnet's monster-like face and naked half body, Do you still remember the pirate you executed with cannons on this sea two years ago?

Why do I have to remember the little things that don't matter?

Uh... the person you killed is not irrelevant in the New World... Lorraine suddenly saw Shaq's irritability hidden under his indifference, Forget it, that's a pirate, very strong, as strong as four cannons It also failed to kill him on the spot.”

Obviously someone rescued him after that battle, and whoever rescued him may have been behind today's attack.

People who could have saved him at that time... Shaq pondered for a moment, This list is too big.

The list is very big, but there are no enemies of yours in it. Following the current, Lorraine lightly reset the handle, As for who is plotting against me, wait until Chanel Basque...

Unknown ship found! The direction is northeast and east, the distance is less than 800 meters, stealth, relative! Feature comparison... The ship without similar features is a third-tier battleship that has not been in service!

What Lorraine was most worried about finally happened!

It was half past eight in the evening, the moonlight was dim, and the night was dark.

If that unknown opponent is really fully prepared to put him to death, night raids and night battles are absolutely impossible to let go.

Lorraine thought that what was waiting for them was likely to be an overwhelming number of small ships, with a total of 10 or 20 ships. There were sporadic destroyers as the backbone, most of which were Brigantines. This is also the most convenient for powerful sea merchants and pirates to take out line-up.

Unexpectedly, what appeared in front of him would be a Tier 3 battleship!

The direction is northeast and east, and the distance is 800 meters. Lorraine didn't care about the injured rudder stock of the Lion. Before the speed of the ship was raised, he immediately ordered the sail to be adjusted, and the left rudder was 10 degrees.

The Lion slid away and cut across the bow of that ship. The opposite ship fired its bow gun, and with a few bangs, 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. The hull is slender than the British one, but the bow lacks a sharp feeling, which is incompatible with the New World gene of the sword bow and shield stern, which is the most seen in Lorraine.

The most striking thing about her is her sails, the bright red mainsail, and a huge white skull in the middle, with a scimitar in its mouth and a barbed desert rose wrapped around its head. .

Shaq's eyes narrowed into a line, and he squeezed Lorraine's arm very tightly.

Is this a pirate ship?

In 1668, the pirates at that time did not have the habit of drawing the pirate flag. Most pirates painted their own logos on their mainsails, and the most famous one was the pirate emperor.

It is said that he soaked his mainsail with the blood of three hundred Spanish officers, dyed the pure white canvas blood red, and crushed their livers and pancreas to paint huge black skulls crowned with roses, This is why the pirate empire used the rose as a status symbol.

Shaq snorted coldly: You mean we are dealing with a person who has been dead for more than 100 years, and he also replaced his ghost ship with a French battleship?

I'm not crazy... Lorraine rolled his eyes, It's just that I saw the pirate emperor's mark at first glance, and I suddenly figured out the identity of the man behind the scenes.

The convening with great fanfare, the sudden appearance of the surrounding island, the missing Fury and the explosives buried on the plank road...

They are really smart. They never try to remove themselves from the list of suspects. Instead, they try to expand the scope of suspects as much as possible. Their repeated whitewashing made me subconsciously recognize their innocent label.

If it weren't for that perverted worship of ancestors, they would have almost succeeded...the descendants of Henry Morgan!

The direct line of the Morgan family should be Susan Morgan. Shaq recalled information about well-known families in the New World, and that Alsace King.

Concentrate first. He said, Since we already know the identity of the opponent, we will have plenty of ways to deal with them when we get out this time.

Wait, us?

The enemy ship turned around! The watchman interrupted Lorraine, She is chasing us very fast... shelling!
