Chapter two hundred and twenty eight recall
The fog released by the "Misty Silver Lantern" has been dispelled, and the "Storm Horn", which had escaped the disaster, reappeared on the sea, but the speed did not slow down at all. Obviously, the sailors who were operating the ship still had not recovered from the previous crisis.
Slow down.
There is no way to fight back!
This was one of the rare encounters that Aiwen suffered when he was beaten to a pulp after joining the army. After all, even if he encountered a strong enemy that he could not resist before, at least there was a tall man standing on top of him, so his feelings were not that obvious.
But this time he is the captain who bears the brunt! The highest officer of this ship!
No one else can share the burden for you anymore.
First, he was attacked inexplicably, and after finally escaping in a critical moment, Aiwen discovered to his dismay that not only did he not have the strength to fight back, he also had no chance to avenge his attack in a short period of time.
Even the other party didn't even know who he was except for the flag hanging on his ship. He really fulfilled the sentence "If I destroy you, what does it have to do with you?"
Frustrated!!!
This kind of situation where you are ignored by your opponent and are not regarded as an equal enemy at all is what hurts your self-esteem the most.
Standing on the deck where the light was obviously much better than before, Alvin clenched his jeweled cane and the muscles under his cheeks were beating slightly:
"MD, I remember this grudge! Cyrus's 'Commander of the Guards'! And that abominable wizard with white hair!"
Ai Wen's frustrated and angry mood affected the entire battleship. Even the sky above the "Cape of Storms" was filled with a layer of low pressure. The crew members who luckily escaped with their lives kept silent for fear of offending their captain at this time.
.
For ordinary crew members, both sides are enemies. It is a blessing to escape the opponent's hands with one's life. There is not much anger, and few people dare to think about taking revenge in the future.
This is the result of different locations and different ways of thinking.
In fact, the best management is to cut off the "heads" of the grassroots, and there is nothing reprehensible for their thinking. As long as Ivan gives an order in the future, they will execute it with all their strength.
At this time, the "Cape of Storms" was sailing north at full speed. The shortage of ammunition inventory was still secondary. The torn mizzen sail of the mizzen mast could also be repaired with the original spare canvas on the ship. But the huge gap on the poop had already affected the normal operation.
Navigation, the battleship urgently needs a port call for repairs.
So Ivan canceled his plan to go to the island of St. Maarten, which he was most familiar with, and decided to find a nearby military port to repair the ship, and at the same time completely replace the original black sails on the ship that were very eye-catching.
In fact, at this time, the total bounty in Ivan's hands plus the 8,000 gold lions contributed by Bassem had reached an astonishing 14,800 gold lions.
And the two people who originally ranked highest:
Thomas Gregory of the Kingdom of Ilia and his fifth-level ship "Snow Lake" won a pirate bounty totaling 7,800 gold lions.
Bertram Solomon of the Kingdom of Tyro and his fourth-tier battleship "Royal Guard" captured a bounty from pirates totaling 7,000 gold lions.
So even if Ivan and the others do nothing in the next month or so, the top spot of the "Naval Star" will almost certainly fall to Ivan's butt.
If this outrageous thing hadn't happened in the end, Ivan's ship would have definitely started celebrating by now.
However, everything that can be thrown away on the ship has been thrown away now. Not to mention that rum is just dry food and you can still have a bite, which is already considered good.
"Turn! Let's go to Degard Island."
In the waters of the Kingdom, on a small island far away from the main shipping routes, a pirate ship "Magic Monkey" with a grinning monkey painted on its sail is moored.
This pirate ship, which had some similar encounters with the "Storm Horn", had just managed to escape from Bertram Solomon and his fourth-tier battleship "Royal Guard" a few days ago by abandoning all baggage, including ship-borne artillery.
Escape from death by hand.
However, the atmosphere on this ship at this time was far heavier than that of the "Storm Horn"!
on deck.
Alec, the pirate captain of the "Magic Monkey", was sitting on a chair brought specially for him by the sailor. His face was pale and abnormally bluish-white, and he coughed twice from time to time. His golden curly hair also looked very dull.
Looking at the familiar faces gathered in a circle on the deck, Old Tom, Cindy, and Chetley seemed so strange to him at this moment.
However, the overall situation has been decided, and it is useless to say more.
"Alas, I am a qualified captain, but not a qualified pirate. The most important thing is that I am not a strong man!"
A thin, tall pirate with two gold teeth in his mouth walked among hundreds of companions gathered in a circle. He cleared his throat and said slightly proudly:
"I! Chetley, the first mate of the 'Magic Monkey', hereby announce the voting results of the entire crew of this ship at the crew meeting!
Because Captain Alec made a major mistake, which caused immeasurable losses to the crew. With more than half of the votes in favor, his removal proposal was officially passed. Oh, it was former Captain Alec.
Now my first mate Chhetri will be the new captain of the ‘Magic Monkey’!”
However, even if the "unqualified" former captain was removed as expected, except for the new captain Chhetri himself, the morale of the crew was really not high.
All the gains gained from joining the Pirate King in sacking "Moby Dick Port" this time were discarded when encountering battleships previously, including even the rum, the artillery and ammunition on the ship, which the pirates valued as much as their lives.
They didn't feel anything happened when they were escaping. Most of them perfectly carried out Captain Alec's order to lighten their load.
But after it was safe, everyone on the ship was heartbroken, especially after losing the precious gold clock that was looted from the headquarters of the Central Chamber of Commerce. The half-person tall clock made of pure gold is a priceless treasure.
!
That was the bloody trophy obtained after the "Magic Monkey" had a fight with other pirates and sacrificed five of its companions!
I originally thought that everyone would make a fortune after selling it, but now let alone living and drinking after getting rich, even food is no longer available.
At this time, someone must stand up and take on this responsibility!
Therefore, after nearly a month of fermentation, the suppressed emotions of the crew were deliberately guided by the first mate Chetley, who had long been spying on the captain's position, and they were all vented on the captain Alec.
Of course, the most important thing is that Alec, who was once the strongest man on the ship, was unlucky enough to be hit by a cannonball and seriously injured during a previous naval pursuit. He has never recovered, and has even reached the point where it is difficult to stand and walk.
Until today, First Mate Yateli held a crew meeting and sentenced Captain Alec in a very "democratic" way among pirates!
Removed from office and exiled to a desert island.
"Okay, Mr. Alec, do you have anything else to say? As usual, in addition to getting a loaded musket, you can also make another reasonable request, and we will try our best to satisfy you.
of."
Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, the new captain can't wait to exercise his rights, seemingly magnanimously allowing the previous captain to make his final request.
"Heh, cough, cough, forget it, you just need to give me my little Jack." Alec coughed twice weakly and made a request that could not be smaller.
Little Jack is not a person, but a monkey raised by Alec, which is also the origin of the name of this pirate ship "Magic Monkey".
"chichichichichi"
A monkey is not a valuable property, and no one on the ship wants to keep such a thing. Soon, a black and white mixed-haired monkey was tied with a rope and thrown next to him.
The pirates' last mercy to the old captain had ended.
Yateli waved with a smile on his face.
Two strong pirates carried the weak Alec to a small boat, took his monkey with him, and paddled him to the island. After throwing down a musket, they turned around without saying anything.
leave.
Alec didn't have anything to say, so he just lay on the beach and let Jack the monkey "comb" his hair and look for lice at the same time?
He moved his arms with difficulty, took off the only "valuable" personal item he carried, an exquisite silver wine bottle, unscrewed the cap, and poured a few sips into his mouth.
"Uh-huh?"
There was nothing, so I remembered that I had already finished the wine and threw away the flask.
He didn't make any movements anymore, just lying there casually, watching his once beloved ship slowly raise its sails, and was about to leave this deserted island where no merchant ship had ever passed.
My life is worth it. As a pirate captain with no conscience, I have exchanged large sums of gold for wine, enjoyed the beauty of exotic dancers, and personally cut off dozens of innocent or heinous heads.
.
I sailed in the Black Sea on a sailboat, fought a desperate battle with storms, and successfully escaped from the guns of a battleship! The rumbling sound of cannons still seems to be in my ears to this day.
listen
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the cannon was too real and too close.
