[Comprehensive] I am not Michael
Chapter 22
It wasn't just these forty or fifty soldiers who turned into skeletons. In fact, Port Royal, Jamaica, England, was already in chaos.
The entire port is under martial law, whether it is Mr. Wetherby Swan, who is called the governor but is actually under strict surveillance by the East India Company, or Mr. James Norrington, who is called the brigadier but is actually the jailer of the governor. My nerves are tense.
The governor even said to Norrington like this: "If I said that before, I still wanted Elizabeth to come back, but now I am glad that she is obsessed with an oriental man and is not here. Otherwise, if she is also cursed, Then I..."
Governor Swan shook his head with a sigh.
No matter how many papers he signed relating to the massacre of Indians, no matter how sinful he was, at this moment Wetherby Swan was just a poor old father worried about his daughter.
"Yes, my lord governor."
After being silent, James Norrington could only answer in this way.
James Norrington was in love with Elizabeth, he had always thought she was his match, and, if it hadn't been for the damned pirate, he might have proposed.But who would have thought that the person he loved was snatched away by pirates, and his marriage plans and love were also in vain, because after returning, Elizabeth had such fanatical feelings for a person from the Far East that he had never seen before. People speak ill of the Far Easterner.
To be honest, as a brigadier general, James Norrington also knew about the Easterners in this period. He was not as ignorant as most Westerners in this era. He also knew that two of the nine pirate kings were Chinese from the Far East.But the Far Easterner Elizabeth mentioned was too different from the Far Easterner he knew.James Norrington didn't want Elizabeth to be cheated and hurt by that nasty Far Easterner.
Therefore, when Lord Callett Beckett led the British Royal Navy and the mercenaries of the East India Company and the West India Company to fight, he still prayed in his heart, hoping that the other party could catch that hateful liar and expose the other party's lies.
What James Norrington never expected was that Lord Carrett Beckett was wiped out! None of the 320 ships came back!
Although the passing merchant ships brought back Lord Callett Beckett and some soldiers, and the search team that set off later also found some soldiers, but this cannot conceal the heavy losses of the British.It can be said that after this battle, Britain's strength on this continent and in the Atlantic Ocean has been reduced to one-tenth of its original strength!
This is also an important reason why even Lord Callett Beckett had to use that batch of gold to buy ships.Because if there are not enough ships, there will be no British ships in the Caribbean for a short time.The colonies need ships, and only ships can continuously transport them various supplies from the mainland, and only ships can give them a solid backing.
Thinking of Elizabeth and the Far Easterner whom he had never met, James Norrington thought of the gift that the Far Easterner gave Elizabeth.
"I'm sorry. Your Excellency," said James Norrington, "I mean, the gift. And, my offense."
After Elizabeth sneaked off the ship, Lord Beckett took away the gift from Zhao Changqing to Elizabeth, and asked Governor Wetherby Swan to be guarded.James Norrington is the man who is in charge of the Governor-General, and the order has not yet been lifted.
"Don't worry about it, James."
Wetherby had just said this when someone shouted from the window: "Quick, look! Where is that ship? I have never seen such a flag!"
Different from western flags, this kind of flag in the east is called a banner. The edges are not flat, and there are long streamers on top.This kind of flag, which was ridiculed by Westerners as "women's foot wrap" after the Opium War, has been used in the East for more than 2000 years.
Westerners in this era, especially those who have never been to the Far East and basically only operate in the Atlantic Ocean, have never seen this kind of flag.
Therefore, when the three ships with strange-looking flags slowly approached the fortress, the guards on the port were all attracted.
Will it be pirates?
Can the current Port Royal still withstand the attack of pirates?
Everyone's nerves tense.Whether it was Governor Wetherby Swan or Brigadier General James Norrington, they all looked out of the window, and only they themselves understood the anxiety in their hearts.
At this time, they heard the voices of Callett Beckett and his number one loyal dog in the corridor: "That is the ship of those Far Easterners! Find a way to get in touch!"
The Spurs smacked the floor like Callett Beckett was in the mindset.When the British navy was strong and invincible, he was leisurely and elegant, and his behavior was slow and aristocratic.But now, the strength of the British navy in Jamaica has been reduced to the extreme. Before the ships that transported gold to the mainland return, and before the new warships are in place, Carret Beckett's spirit is the same as this rhythm. Full of tension.
"Do you need to enter a state of readiness?"
"It's not necessary." Carret's flat and quick tone was accompanied by the sound of the spurs hitting the floor, "Even with the height bonus, our attack distance is only 500 meters. Those Far Easterners can stand outside the range to attack attack us. Don't forget how these Far Easterners tore up our ship. When will our ship arrive?"
"We need too many ships, Your Excellency. Although the shipyards in England have ready-made large ships, the number is not enough for three hundred, and it will take time to send letters. Here, Your Excellency, please forgive me, the West Indies Although there are also shipyards, but the scale is too small, it is difficult to manufacture a merchant ship similar to the Interceptor, let alone a warship of the same level as the Intrepid and Endeavor, and it is even more impossible."
Callett Beckett didn't say anything more, but pushed the door open, and said to Wetherby:
"Hello, Your Excellency the Governor."
"Oh, Lord Beckett, what can I do for you?"
The entanglement between Wetherby and Callett has not been a day or two. It can be said that the two of them have been political enemies since a long time ago.Not to mention that Beckett almost sentenced Elizabeth to death, and it was still without any evidence.
You know, everyone in Jamaica Harbor knew that the day Elizabeth was taken by the famous black ship was the young girl's first experience with pirates.Under such circumstances, when the young lady was rescued and sent back specially, because there was a pirate who had been imprisoned by the East India Company on that ship, Beckett was going to impose a sentence on Elizabeth. , ranging from being raped for life, to being sentenced to death.
Where did Wetherby not know that this was directed at him?
So, instead of being calm, when he said this, Wetherby's eyes were burning with fire.
For a father to touch his child, he must first step over his dead body.
"Sorry, Your Excellency Governor. What I want to tell you is that the flag is the ship of the Far Easterners who sent all [-] ships of our British Empire into the sea. At present, we don't know the purpose of the other party. The best The situation is that the other party is specially sending Miss Elizabeth home, and the worst situation is that they are here for revenge..."
Just when Callett was about to remind Wetherby that Wetherby should fulfill his obligations as an Englishman and a British governor, Ian Mather suddenly said, "Look!"
I saw the three ships parked on the sea a few miles away, just beyond the meritorious distance of the fort.A figure rose from the boat, slowly approached the port, and then just stopped in mid-air about 300 meters away from the fort. This angle and distance happened to be the blind spot of the artillery on the fort. I can't reach it. As for the bow|arrow, it may be within reach, but it is absolutely impossible to cause harm to the opponent, because the opponent is wearing medieval armor. Although it is not heavy armor, it is definitely made of metal. With a long distance, an upward attack, and the test of the sea wind, it is really a ghost to be able to hurt the opponent who is tightly wrapped in metal armor.
However, what those soldiers were even more curious about was, is the opponent really wearing metal armor?How can it fly with such a heavy weight?
In the dumbfounded up and down of Port Royal, the other party slowly took out a bow from his back, then took out an arrow wrapped with a document, aimed at the pillar on the balcony outside the brigadier general's office, and shot.
With a bang, the arrow was nailed to the pillar, and then the opponent flew away!
flew away!
gone!
Now!
………………
For a moment, Beckett felt that he had been molested by the other party.I have ordered the fortress to enter a first-level combat readiness state, and a person coming from the opposite side will shoot an arrow and it will be over?
Don't play like this!
What about revenge?
It is agreed that the strong man who offends me will be punished even if he is far away?
Although there was no clue on his face, Ian Mather could clearly see the various emotions flashing in Beckett's eyes.He quickly took down the arrow and untied the letter on the arrow.
"It's a letter from Miss Elizabeth. In the letter, she said that Michael sent his subordinates to send her back. In addition, Michael hopes to reach a business agreement with Jamaica Port. There is Miss Elizabeth's signature on it."
When Wetherby Swan heard it, he immediately snatched the letter: "Elizabeth, it's really Elizabeth's handwriting."
Lord Callett Beckett calmed down, and said: "That's right. If the other party wants to attack the port for revenge, they can launch a surprise attack. Get ready and welcome."
The entire port is under martial law, whether it is Mr. Wetherby Swan, who is called the governor but is actually under strict surveillance by the East India Company, or Mr. James Norrington, who is called the brigadier but is actually the jailer of the governor. My nerves are tense.
