Chapter 287 Spanish Supply Ship

All the sailors cheered, especially the navy soldiers who seemed to have understood their situation and were extremely worried about their survival. Some even knelt down on the deck, with wet eyes.

Because Shen Chen gave up the opportunity to be the captain at this time, he gave up the helm and let Benjamin come, driving the Sea Breeze to the lush island.

Distances on the sea are often inaccurate, but more than half an hour later, the Sea Breeze arrived near the island.

"Lay down the dinghy and we'll anchor here!"

There were still about three or four hundred meters away from the island, and Benjamin stopped the boat, "You, you, you, you three, take a small boat and go investigate first!"

Undoubtedly, Benjamin revealed the captain's calmness and wisdom. When approaching the coast after a storm, most people would think about returning to land without thinking, ignoring the possible dangers in a strange environment, let alone the West Indies. The islands are not completely civilized, there are still ancient tribes and even cannibals here!

The three navy soldiers were named and immediately realized this, but they still mustered up the courage to get on the small boat. This was their only hope of survival.

The boat gradually moved away, and soon it reached a golden beach. One of the three soldiers, who was slightly thin and frightened, climbed out of the boat and tipped to the shore.

The remaining two naturally guard the boat and can escape quickly when attacked!

The soldier climbed onto the shore, kissed the beach first, and seemed to be glad that he had survived to the shore. Then, under everyone's attention, he carried a standard long sword and went deep into the island.

...

"It's almost an hour, isn't it?" After waiting for a long time, even the potatoes rationed in the morning were eaten, and there was no movement in the woods.

The sailors immediately became restless. It was very possible that the soldier was dead or had escaped.

Benjamin thought for a moment, then looked at the sailor who was sharpening his weapon, "Old Bawe, I still need you to check this out!"

Bawe smiled and said: "I have said before that these navies are unreliable!"

He paused, raised his weapon, and said to the people behind him: "Let's go, let's help the captain explore the way!"

Benjamin was very pleased. These people were his team and they were also the key to his ability to gain a foothold on the White Shark in the past. So when he got on the boat, Benjamin encouraged and promised: "Guys, there may not be any danger this time. But I still regard it as a mission. Regardless of whether you can come back or not, the 500 silver coins will be given to you or your family members who stayed in Nassau!"

Bawe waved his hand and said: "You don't have a single silver coin now, but we believe that you will soon become the most feared guy in the Caribbean, so we will stand up!"

"Let's go, boys!" Bawe pushed the side of the boat hard with the oar pole and sailed towards the island.

"Remember, as a captain, the most important thing is to ensure that every crew member can obtain a 'profit' of considerable value. Only profit is the most important thing for pirates like us!" Benjamin said as he watched the boat go away. Turn around and teach Shen Chen how to be a captain.

Benjamin said this, but he didn't do it himself, otherwise he wouldn't have proposed taking the risk to capture the Sea Breeze before. However, Shen Chen still quite recognized this point. The sailors left their homes just to find the wealth in the new world.

"Of course, at this point, you have medical skills and good navigation skills. Even if you only do business and don't carry out plunder, you can still gain a lot of wealth." Benjamin suddenly laughed at himself, "And you are not like me. , a person who is named in the navy, especially if you have not become a captain, when these navy soldiers are released back, maybe you still have a chance to escape from the pirates! "

Shen Chen was stunned. He didn't expect Benjamin to think like this: "Maybe, but I won't. God told me that my mission is to shine its holy light to this land that has not yet been favored. I hope Let the pirates enjoy the glory of the gods fairly!"

This time it was Benjamin who was stunned. He opened his mouth and said: "I thought this was just a way for you to save your life... I didn't expect it! Well, your pastor is always different from others, but I support you. Although the pirates are free, they really lack the faith in their hearts!"

"This is the best." Shen Chen smiled, but he was secretly happy inside.

System log: "You have deepened your image as a priest in Benjamin's heart. You have gained 200 doctor experience points, you have gained 500 Benjamin favorability points, and your order points have provided 12 points! You have further integrated into the game world. , the impact of your behavior on the memory synchronization rate is reduced by 0.1%!"

Next, Benjamin taught a lot of skills about sailing, until at the coast, the sailors waved flags that allowed landing.

"Leave half of the men on board to look after the navy, and the rest will follow me!"

The blue and transparent water reveals the undulating sand dunes below. Small boats go back and forth between the Sea Breeze and the unnamed island, transporting groups of sailors to the coast.

Shen Chen and Benjamin were the last ones to set off. After passing the shoal, Benjamin pointed to the water below and said: "In the future, you must be careful when sailing. Don't dock on islands with long beaches. Once the tide goes out, your ship will be very dangerous." Maybe he's stranded on the shore!"

"That's it!" Shen Chen finally understood why Benjamin stopped the boat so far away, and couldn't help but admire the other party's sophistication.

Landing on the beach, when his feet stood firmly on the ground without shaking, Shen Chen felt that everything had returned; at sea, it was difficult for him to exert all his combat power, especially the black dragon's power to protect the earth. On the sea, I always feel a sense of panic and boredom.

"Have you found the water source?" Benjamin asked immediately.

"There is no water, Captain!" Bawe replied, but his face was not depressed, but rather excited.

Bawe pointed to the other side of the island and said: "But we found a Spanish sailing ship, maybe because of the previous storm, it docked on the other side of the island. The guy just now was thinking about whether to join them, and I caught him !”

"Quick, take me there!" Benjamin was overjoyed after hearing this and said eagerly.

A Spanish sailing ship, which means that supplies have been secured, and conflicts with naval soldiers can also be alleviated; the key is that if this ship carries treasure, then they will not return to Nassau empty-handed, but will return fully loaded, whether it is Recruiting new sailors or planning your next voyage will become much easier.

This small island in the lush sea is not that big. In just a quarter of an hour, everyone reached the other side of the island through the forest path taken by Bawe and the navy soldier.

This place is in the shape of a crescent bay. The land on both sides forms an almost circular bay. On one side of the beach, a three-masted sailboat is docked there. On the top of the mast, a red and yellow flag is hung. The flag, without looking at the special-style national emblem in the middle, can be recognized as the symbol of Western Italy.

Benjamin handed over a telescope. Although Shen Chen had the perception of a demon hunter, he still took it and looked towards the sailboat. In his field of vision, he could clearly capture a piece of nearly half a meter on the side of the hull. The wide crack is also an important reason why she docked in this small bay instead of the open sea!

"They are really lucky not to die in the storm!" Bawe said.

Benjamin patted Shen Chen and pointed to the crack: "Look, there is an obvious color distinction below the crack. That is the waterline of the ship. It does not exceed the height of the crack. This is also a fluke of the ship. The reason for survival; but the captain of this ship is also very smart, have you noticed that the drafts on both sides are not at the same level!"

"Using the tilt of the ship?" Shen Chen said.

"This is probably taking advantage of the wind direction, and then adjusting the ballast to the other side. Of course, if the crack is lower, you will not be so lucky!" Benjamin explained with a smile: "However, in this way, the sail must be unfolded. Some will cause damage to the mast. Look above, there are a few cracks there, have you noticed?"

Following the direction Benjamin pointed, Shen Chen could easily see that both the main mast and the extended part had considerable damage.

"This is our best chance!" Benjamin suddenly grinned, like a lioness, aiming at the prey, and quickly approached within a striking distance.
